We just started. This is a story of how sick jealousy cost two
0:23
of my children their lives. I clearly remember the beginning of the relationship with
0:28
my husband. It all started when I was about nineteen. I knew him
0:34
by sight, I had seen him sometimes with his friends, but I had
0:38
never paid much attention. However, when he started courting me, I realized
0:43
that we had quite a few things in common and that he was a wonderful
0:48
person. So soon after we met we started dating during the first months of
0:55
our relationship. Everything was on wheels. One day, however, threatening letters
0:59
addressed to me began to arrive, telling me to leave to my boyfriend that
1:03
he belonged to that person and that I was getting into a relationship. At
1:10
the time there were no social networks or cell phones, so receiving letters was
1:15
not so strange, but I was very upset by all that situation. At
1:21
first I thought that my then boyfriend might have had another relationship and that he
1:26
had been cheating on me all that time, but when I asked him for
1:32
an explanation, he told me that those letters had surely been sent by one
1:37
of his ex- girlfriends, a really jealous and possessive person, who wouldn
1:41
' t leave him alone, even though they had ended more than two years
1:44
ago. At first, I doubted his word, as I had already heard
1:49
similar stories about men doing that, so I told him that if what he
1:53
was saying was true, he would have no problem facing his ex face to
1:57
face to solve the situation. At first he showed resistance, but after threatening
2:04
to end our relationship, he agreed. But I soon realized that her story
2:08
was true and I also understood why she didn' t want to have any
2:14
interaction with her ex When my boyfriend introduced me to her ex to talk,
2:20
she completely freaked out in a matter of seconds, told me that no woman
2:24
could love him like her and then tried to attack me. That was a
2:28
truly disturbing experience and made me understand the gravity of the situation. I think
2:34
that might have ended up in a very strong physical fight, but my boyfriend
2:38
managed to avoid it and we moved away from the place before things got worse.
2:44
And even though I thought that would be all I' d know about
2:49
her, unfortunately everything got worse. The letters he started sending me were becoming
2:52
more frequent and threatening. He threatened to hurt me or my family and even
2:58
sent pictures of my sisters, who were smaller. Leaving school or other everyday
3:05
situations that filled me with concern. I tried to go to the police to
3:12
file a complaint or get a restraining order, but, as often happens in
3:15
Mexico, the police didn' t do much about it and only told me
3:21
that sending letters or photographs wasn' t considered a crime and until something more
3:25
serious happened, they couldn' t intervene. I felt totally alone in that
3:30
situation. My boyfriend had tried to talk to her several times to stop her,
3:36
but every attempt ended in physical blows and even more threatening letters. I
3:42
felt that that woman could do something terrible, but after a while I realized
3:46
that she was just threatening and not acting. I decided to ignore her and
3:53
not even open the letters she sent me. I would throw them directly into
3:57
the trash or burn them without reading them, because my relationship with my boyfriend
4:00
was still solid and we both felt it was time to take the next step
4:05
and compromise. I agreed to compromise with him, but I told him that
4:10
before we lived together, we had to make sure his ex- girlfriend couldn
4:15
' t reach us. We started making arrangements for the wedding discreetly, so
4:18
she wouldn' t find out. However, we realized that she was aware
4:24
and that day, in the middle of the ceremony, made a whole scene,
4:29
shouting that she was the perfect woman for him and ruining the moment.
4:34
They had to practically force her out of the Church so that we could continue
4:40
our marriage without further interruption. Although the situation in the Church was very difficult
4:46
to swallow, the rest of the celebration went well. Despite that setback,
4:50
I remember that day as one of the happiest days of my life. Besides,
4:56
I wasn' t so worried, as we had everything ready to move
5:00
to another city where I was sure she wouldn' t find us and for
5:06
almost half a year, our life was full of happiness and there was no
5:12
bother or appearance of that woman. However, after that period of peace,
5:15
the letters began to arrive again. I immediately recognized who it was because of
5:21
the lyrics and knew that it was not a simple joke of bad taste that
5:26
that woman had found us again. Le. I told the situation to my
5:30
husband, who was very upset and considered the idea of talking to her,
5:35
but we discarded it because of the past situations in which we tried to dialogue.
5:40
Finally, we decided what to ignore it would be the best option,
5:46
hoping it would stop or get bored. Eventually they spent a few months with
5:50
threatening letters that seemed to arrive almost every day, and then a new neighbor
5:56
moved to the same neighborhood we lived in. For our prey she was my
6:00
husband' s ex- girlfriend. From day one he started harassing us,
6:04
always ready for a physical fight. Already tired of the situation, the only
6:11
solution we found was to move. Without saying a word, we just packed
6:15
our stuff and went to find another place, hoping this time she wouldn'
6:19
t find us. However, the same thing happened to us in the next
6:25
few moves and despite trying to get away, she always found us. It
6:30
didn' t matter where we went or if we did this woman always appeared
6:36
in our lives to harass us without rest. The situation got completely out of
6:41
control when dead animals began to appear in front of our door, along with
6:46
boxes, filled with rodents and insects to invade our home, until one day
6:51
we managed to move as far away as possible by telling our location only to
6:58
very close people who swore to keep the secret and finally we did it.
7:00
I think it' s been two years without knowing anything about that woman.
7:05
We even came to believe that we had achieved it, that we had finally
7:10
gotten rid of it once and for all. During that period of time,
7:15
I received one of the best news I' d ever had in my entire
7:18
life. I was pregnant This news filled me and my husband with joy.
7:25
We were both excited about the arrival of our new baby and now that we
7:30
were almost certain that we had managed to get my husband' s ex out
7:34
of our lives, we felt that everything would be better. But one day,
7:39
while I was doing some shopping at the market, I met my husband
7:43
' s ex, Although at first he gave me the same hostile look as
7:46
ever. This time it was different, because she was already four months pregnant
7:51
and that was noticeable. She went completely crazy seeing that and although I had
7:57
seen her angry before, this situation was completely different. He seemed capable of
8:03
anything. He wanted to attack me and yelled at me that he would kill
8:07
the child I had in my womb. This seriously affected me, as now
8:11
not only was my life in danger at the hands of that woman, but
8:16
also that of my unborn child. I knew we should leave again. However,
8:20
at that time, believing that we had already lost it, both my
8:24
husband and I, had bought land and we were building a house in that
8:31
same location, so there was no turning back. Although this was a very
8:37
alarming thing, I was very surprised that nothing happened. Then, there were
8:41
no threatening letters I didn' t even see her again. It was a
8:46
very strange thing, as the last time I saw her I had gone crazy
8:50
in a way that I just didn' t think I' d leave it
8:54
that way. At that time I felt relieved, because I didn' t
8:58
want my baby to be born in such a toxic environment. I figured that
9:01
maybe I' d reconsidered everything that he' d been doing to us and
9:07
finally decided to move on with his life, letting my husband and I go
9:11
on with ours. But very soon our whole life began to get worse.
9:16
What was a healthy relationship soon became a horrible thing. We started having too
9:22
many fights and the money didn' t seem to be enough for anything.
9:26
It didn' t matter how much we had. It seemed like it was
9:31
never enough. We also began to accumulate debts and had to stop the construction
9:37
of our house. The house we were renting at the time was filled with
9:41
plagues. There were a lot of flies everywhere, no matter what I did.
9:46
There also seemed to be a lot of cockroaches and, for the most
9:50
part, it cleaned. There was no way I could get rid of them.
9:54
During my sixth month of pregnancy, while I was doing a little cleaning
9:58
for the house for the RN, my belly started to hurt so much it
10:03
felt like I was being stabbed and at the same time I started having bleeding.
10:07
I got out to ask for help from my neighbors, who quickly took
10:13
me to the hospital and soon afterwards I fainted. The last thing I heard
10:18
was that I was losing too much blood and, to my misfortune, when
10:24
I opened my eyes, the first news I received was that, while I
10:28
would be fine, my baby had died. This was a very hard hit.
10:31
For me, as well as for my husband. At that time,
10:35
neither of us knew how to continue. We' d been waiting so long
10:41
for that baby and now it was just gone. At that time I plunged
10:43
into a deep depression that lasted for several months. But after my baby died,
10:48
my life, at least monetaryly, got better again. The plagues went
10:54
back and things seemed to be back to normal. After that, I eventually
11:01
started to recover. A little and two years later I got pregnant again,
11:05
but this time I remember that I was too afraid. She was too careful
11:11
about everything she ate or did, because she really felt she couldn' t
11:15
bear another loss. But no matter how much I took care of myself when
11:20
I was about two months pregnant, it all happened again in the same way
11:24
as the first pregnancy. The fights began, the screams and the plagues reappeared.
11:31
It was as if every pregnancy brought with it, a horrible curse and
11:35
although I would like to say that nothing bad happened even though at first it
11:41
seemed like I had a perfectly healthy pregnancy, the fourth month I lost my
11:46
baby again and again it all seemed a total darkness. For a moment I
11:50
thought it was all my fault and that my body was not designed to bring
11:56
life to this world, and this made me even more depressed. I thought
12:00
I' d never fulfill my dream of being a mother. I decided that
12:03
I would never again try to get pregnant, not only because of the severe
12:09
pain this caused me, but also because I did not want to conceive a
12:13
child who could never see the light of the world. I talked about it
12:16
with my husband, and even though it hurt too much for him, he
12:20
understood me completely. This time it took me a lot longer to get out
12:24
of that depressive state. I stopped working and stayed at home during that time.
12:28
My husband stood by me and basically took care of working and accompanying me
12:33
until I got through. It is important to mention that at that time the
12:39
subject of psychologists or therapy was very demonized, so I never went to any
12:43
to overcome all this pain I felt. Another year went by when we were
12:48
no longer looking for any pregnancy and dedicated ourselves to working in that time we
12:54
managed to finish our home where we began to live shortly after. However,
13:00
even though we were using double contraception, one day I discovered that I was
13:05
pregnant again. This terrified me a lot because I knew that, although it
13:11
was my greatest desire to be a mom, that pregnancy would not come to
13:16
an end because of what had already been going on back then. It was
13:20
totally illegal to stop pregnancy, especially because by doing different studies, they realized
13:26
that I was totally healthy and that, in fact, my pregnancy was too
13:31
healthy for it to even be an option to interrupt. And even though she
13:35
was afraid, that pregnancy went on. I was about a month pregnant when
13:41
I had a very scary dream, which I vividly remember to this day.
13:48
In the dream I remembered being on a kind of very large sidewalk that seemed
13:52
to have no end of any kind, but something inside of me knew I
13:56
should move forward, so I started walking down ahl that dirt road and suddenly,
14:01
a bitch came out of the bush. That animal scared me too much,
14:05
but at the same time it intrigued me, since, even though it
14:11
was too big, it was also too thin, so thin that all its
14:16
ribs were seen. It was not of a specific race, but I clearly
14:20
remember that it was light brown and its eyes were blue. At first,
14:26
that animal just walked beside me without doing virtually any kind of interaction and although
14:31
it didn' t seem to want to attack me, I knew that I
14:35
should be a prudent distance from her, so I kept moving behind her without
14:41
any intention of exceeding her. However, at some point in the dream I
14:46
saw that bitch stop staying static for a few seconds, so I did the
14:52
same without knowing what was going on. And after that, that bitch turned
14:58
her head to stare at me, It seemed like she was examining me and
15:03
after that, with a voice too much like my husband' s ex-
15:07
girlfriend, she told me all your bastard children are going to die if you
15:11
don' t get away from him. She mentioned my husband' s name
15:15
in the dream, but for security reasons I prefer not to mention it.
15:20
This iced my blood, especially because almost immediately that animal began to stand on
15:24
two legs and laugh unbridledly in such a diabolical way that I woke up startled.
15:31
At that moment I woke up crying and told my husband everything I had
15:37
dreamed of until that moment. Neither of us believed too much in the whole
15:41
paranormal issue. However, we could not deny that it was too inexplicable that
15:48
everything that was happening to us seemed to start every time there was a pregnancy.
15:54
My husband told his mother and she, almost without wasting time, made
15:56
an appointment with a woman who was doing clean and witchcraft as soon as we
16:03
arrived with her, without having to tell her anything, told us that someone
16:07
had done me a work of black magic too strong that was not only hurting
16:12
me, but who I loved the most. I remember we made some kind
16:17
of clean and then he sat me on a table and made me drink some
16:21
drinks. Then he told us that he had had a vision in which he
16:26
was told that there was a witchcraft work buried in the courtyard of our house
16:30
and told us that evil was there, that we should take it out and
16:36
take it away almost without wasting time. We went to look at the place
16:38
that indicated us and, to our surprise and also to our horror, we
16:44
found something buried. There was not only a photograph of me with a number
16:48
of pins nailed, but also three small bottles filled with what seemed to be
16:52
earth, one looked newer than the other, which for me was an indication
16:57
that each of those small bottles had been buried in that place. Every time
17:03
I got pregnant, I had basically killed my children and no one noticed,
17:10
I had been entering the courtyard of our house to bury these things. There
17:15
was a bottle too new that clearly indicated my new baby. We took out
17:22
all that witchcraft work and took it to the lady to see what she was
17:26
and what she could do. Upon arrival, she affirmed everything we had thought
17:30
and confirmed that she had indeed been entering our house without anyone noticing her and
17:34
had buried those things, those bottles represented the soul of the little babies they
17:41
could never do. They tried to clean me up for several days. However,
17:48
that thing was so strong that they couldn' t take it away from
17:52
me. But I, seriously, had a deep determination that all those bad
17:56
vibes and that witchcraft work would get rid of me, since that way my
18:02
baby could be born. That was too hard a job for that one,
18:07
ma' am, to take it off. So he recommended I go to
18:11
catemaco with an acquaintance of his who could help me take everything off. When
18:17
we got to the place where the man who could help us was, he
18:21
was already aware of the whole case, he started doing a clean one,
18:26
but after a while he stopped and told me that there was no easy way
18:29
to take that thing away from me and that the only solution was for the
18:33
job to be transferred to someone else. I was worried, because I didn
18:37
' t want anyone else to suffer everything that I was going through at the
18:42
time, but that man explained to me that I wouldn' t pass it
18:47
on to any innocent person, but basically it was about going back to that
18:52
woman who had done me that job, although I know she totally deserved it.
18:56
I doubted it for a moment, because I did not want to be
18:59
so bad, but, however, being the only solution to our problems,
19:03
I ended up agreeing. That' s how that man managed to take that
19:07
job away from me and told me that everything bad he' d done to
19:11
me was going back to the person. But I went home twice, and
19:15
as the months passed, I noticed that my whole life had improved this time.
19:21
This pregnancy was nothing like the others and soon came to an end giving
19:25
birth to my first daughter. I was too happy that that nightmare had an
19:30
end, but the story doesn' t end there. Although I didn'
19:36
t have anything wrong anymore. Very soon I learned that this woman had become
19:40
seriously ill. It was as if it was deteriorating for no reason and no
19:45
doctor could find a diagnosis. Nobody knew what he had and eventually ended up
19:52
dying. I have always believed that this whole situation was nothing more than the
19:56
return of all the evil that threw at me and my espo. Deep down,
20:00
I know he deserved it, but something inside me can' t help
20:03
but feel guilty about the end he had. This is a story that happened
20:15
to me when I was 14. At that time, my mother had been
20:21
dead for almost five years, leaving my three brothers and I to care for
20:25
my father. Although to be honest, he didn' t do a good
20:30
job, since my mom' s death I always felt like he was acting
20:34
like a child, taking only money home. I was the one who had
20:40
to take care of everything else for the simple fact of being the older sister.
20:44
My father jumped from one relationship to another and was rarely at home,
20:48
as if he wasn' t working, he was on a date. And
20:52
the worst part was that he wasn' t anything discreet. They were close
20:56
people when my father was bored of them. Not having more or less respect
21:00
for those people, he just stopped talking to them. I never knew of
21:06
any couple I' d ended up with in a right way, and I
21:11
honestly think it was more embarrassing for us than it was for him to run
21:15
into those people when it was all over. But her childish behavior was not
21:19
only limited to her loving relationships, but she also used to have problems with
21:25
everyone. He often got drunk and fought with anyone he saw and, if
21:30
there was no one, he would destroy any property, causing him to have
21:34
trouble with the neighbors or even the landlord in turn, and this caused us
21:40
to be evicted over and over again. We never stayed more than three months
21:45
anywhere. It was in one of these moves that we arrived at the building
21:51
where this story happened to me. I remember none of us were happy,
21:55
since we had passed a house with a room for each, that small two
22:00
- bedroom apartment and one was for my father, so it was time to
22:04
share with others, but we knew there wasn' t much to do,
22:11
since, after spending almost five years moving around at all times, the options
22:15
were less and less. We were unpacking. When someone knocked on the door,
22:22
my father opened it and was a woman with Chinese and black hair,
22:26
and although she was a little older, she was really well preserved and had
22:30
a good body. He greeted us all kindly by telling us that he lived
22:34
in the apartment across the street, but I don' t know there was
22:41
something in his forest that just didn' t inspire me any confidence. It
22:42
was like he wasn' t honest, like he was just trying to get
22:48
us off the guard with his kindness He had a plate of food with him.
22:52
He told us that he had seen us arrive and that she knew how
22:56
difficult it was to move, that she was sure that that would be much
23:00
more difficult with children, so she had taken the dare to prepare us food
23:06
and also said that she could give us the key to her internet, that
23:11
if we needed anything, we would not hesitate to ask her, since that
23:14
was what the neighbors were for. My father received the plate of food and
23:17
also stayed talking to the neighbor for a very good time. At that moment
23:22
I knew that woman would be another one of my father' s many conquests.
23:26
Because of fate, we never got to eat that food. It wasn
23:30
' t because of mistrust or not wanting it. In fact, from what
23:34
I remember, I also smelled like we just wanted to find the box with
23:40
the dishes to eat. However, my father left the plate with food on
23:42
top of some boxes and two of my brothers, for playing, threw away
23:48
those boxes, which caused all the food to fall to the floor, so
23:52
we never got to eat it. But when the neighbor later asked if we
23:56
liked it, we all answered that it would be yes, that it had
24:00
been very good, although we never actually verified it. We didn' t
24:06
want to hurt her feelings at the time. To tell you the truth,
24:10
it seemed a little strange to me, because I remember when that woman asked
24:15
us if we liked the food and we told her that it was good,
24:18
she acted in a somewhat strange way. It was as if I expected something
24:22
and for what I lived with this woman later, I always thought that the
24:29
food she gave us could come to have something, but it' s something
24:33
I can never know. After a couple of days of living in that place,
24:37
my father started a relationship with her. At first, none of us
24:42
thought it would have any impact on our lives, beyond how uncomfortable it would
24:47
be when my father left her. But on one occasion, while we were
24:52
making friends with the other children in the building, they told us that my
24:57
dad was dating the witch. You ask him. We noticed what they meant
25:00
by that and they told us that this woman was a witch and everyone in
25:04
the building knew about it. We were told that the plants or pets of
25:08
people I had problems with were always dying. But the truth is, we
25:15
didn' t give them credit at the time, and we assumed they were
25:18
building gossip. Everything changed when my father, as he had done before,
25:22
ended up with that woman without giving her any explanation. He didn' t
25:29
seem to understand it at first, and he went to our department a couple
25:33
of times to talk. However, he was never there, or even when
25:37
he did tell us to tell him that he was not home, so we
25:41
only obeyed what entrusted us. The woman did not give up and reached the
25:45
point where my father had to face her face and tell her openly that he
25:49
no longer wanted to be with her. But, as the classic person who
25:53
does not usually have emotional responsibility, instead of openly saying what he felt,
25:59
he did not excuse us. He told her we didn' t like her
26:03
seeing her and that' s why she' d have to end the relationship.
26:07
And even though this seemed to be the end, the truth is that
26:11
the woman at that time went completely mad and started cursing him and even tried
26:15
to hit him. My father all he did was go back into the apartment
26:21
and leave her screaming and cursing in the hallway, as far as I remember,
26:26
he even made a joke. About that. What I will relate below
26:30
are things in chronological order of how this woman was making life more difficult for
26:34
us. At first. It all started with a little inexplicable things, which
26:41
we didn' t relate to. They were small things, like falling glasses
26:45
with water from the table or a few things appeared in a different place than
26:51
we had left them. Although we were four children at home, we never
26:56
gave him the importance he deserved. We always thought that some brother had done
27:02
it because he wasn' t paying enough attention or just playing some kind of
27:07
joke. So, as far as that' s concerned, I don'
27:10
t remember it as something that disturbed us, although every time we look back,
27:15
we believe that the paranormal activity we experience after our father' s breakup
27:21
with that woman. It probably started this way. I guess since none of
27:26
us seemed really disturbed by this it was that it started to raise the level.
27:32
I remember the first time something really big happened was while we were sleeping.
27:37
I was already dreaming, but suddenly, between dreams, I heard as
27:41
if someone were crying and when I opened my eyes, I realized that it
27:47
was not a dream, but reality. I turned around and saw my younger
27:52
brother, who was five at the time. I was pointing to the door
27:56
and saying that there it was in the dark. He couldn' t see
28:00
anything and his crying made the other two wake up, but none of them
28:06
could see anyone. Since I' m the older sister, I had to
28:10
arm myself with courage and get up to light the light. Luckily, the
28:12
switch was on the other end that my brother pointed at, so I walked
28:17
over there and quickly turned it on. However, I will always wish I
28:23
had not done so, as we almost instantly saw it. It was the
28:27
neighbor standing in one of the corners of the room, staring at us,
28:33
she looked too upset and repeated over and over that we had been the culprits
28:37
and after about a minute she simply disappeared. It was a very strange thing,
28:44
like it was some sort of hologram. We were too scared. We
28:49
all went to tell our father, but he didn' t pay attention to
28:52
us. On the contrary, he scolded me for encouraging those lies to my
28:59
rather sad brothers, so we went back to our room to go back to
29:03
sleep, but this time we were so scared that we moved the beds to
29:07
sleep together. And, fortunately, for the rest of the night we no
29:11
longer experienced that presence that scared us so much, even though that night we
29:18
did not experience that again. The truth is that from that day on,
29:22
paranormal activity began to become even stronger. Sometimes we just walked out of the
29:29
room for a few seconds, and when we got back, everything was messed
29:32
up. Not only paper or trash thrown away, but very often the furniture
29:37
was flipped and the beds thrown away. The strange thing was that no particular
29:42
sound was heard, only from one moment to the next. Everything got out
29:47
of place and it got messy. I don' t have any other way
29:52
to explain it. Besides, we all started having a lot of nightmares,
29:57
all related to that woman. In the dreams. He always said awful things
30:02
to us, like our mom was in hell and we' d end up
30:07
there, too. If we stood between her and our father, none of
30:11
us knew what to do, for the person who should believe us did not.
30:18
I remember one time someone knocked on the door while we were alone my
30:22
brothers and my brother, who was nine years old, ran to open without
30:27
checking who he was and to our surprise was that woman. My brother got
30:32
really scared, so I almost immediately went out and asked him what he wanted.
30:37
She smiled and accepted in a rather kind way saying that she just wanted
30:42
to make peace. He had a big box of pizza in his hands and
30:45
offered it to us saying he bought it for us. However, I wasn
30:52
' t so sure, so I just thanked him and locked the door.
30:56
The two younger ones wanted to eat, but that whole situation gave me a
31:00
bad feeling, so I told them no and I didn' t want to
31:04
take it out and have the neighbor see me. I left the pizza in
31:08
the area where the washing machine was and locked that door to stop someone from
31:12
eating it. To my surprise. The next morning, when I went to
31:18
pull her out, she was completely infested with larvae and other insects. Besides,
31:25
she had a lot of hair very similar to that neighbor' s.
31:30
I tried to tell my father, but he told me he was just exaggerating
31:33
and he didn' t give it too much importance, so I just threw
31:37
it away. But while taking out the boats, I noticed that the neighbor
31:41
had seen that she was throwing away the box with everything and pizza, but
31:48
she quickly went back into her apartment without engaging in any conversation with me.
31:52
A couple of days after that had happened, the neighbor knocked again at our
31:56
door, but this time I looked through the peephole and when I saw that
32:00
it was her, I went back and made a sign for my brothers to
32:06
keep quiet, hoping that the neighbor would think that there was no one at
32:09
home. However, she did not leave and kept knocking on the door.
32:15
After about two minutes he said he knew we were there, so I had
32:20
no choice but to open the door. I remember I made up a very
32:25
silly excuse, like I was washing dishes or something, something that was obvious,
32:30
that wasn' t true, since I didn' t even have wet
32:34
hands. Still, the neighbor told me not to worry and gave me a
32:37
plate with what seemed to be chocolate cake. He told us he baked it
32:42
and he thought we' d like it. I felt a little uncomfortable,
32:46
but without knowing exactly how to respond, I just accepted and thanked him.
32:52
I was about to close the door when suddenly, she put her hand to
32:55
stop me. I felt a chill of fear, but I tried not to
33:00
show it and suddenly, the neighbor told me that I could taste the cake
33:06
in front of her. I really didn' t like this at all.
33:09
I tried to make another excuse, like I had just brushed my teeth,
33:15
but the neighbor didn' t give up and told me if I couldn'
33:19
t, then I would give it to one of my brothers, as I
33:23
really wanted to know their opinion. My younger brother almost immediately volunteered, but
33:27
something in all that situation gave me no confidence, so I said no.
33:34
At that time the neighbor got quite defensive and began to get upset, telling
33:38
us that we were going to regret it. So, scared, I closed
33:43
the door keeping the cake. My brothers wanted to prove it, but I
33:47
didn' t leave them and threw it away to my surprise. The next
33:51
morning it was exactly like pizza full of insects and other bugs, also with
33:58
a lot of hair. The worst part was that my father just didn'
34:02
t give him the importance he should. Whenever I told him, he told
34:07
me that I was exaggerating or that it was normal. If I left the
34:10
food outside, I felt too lonely in this whole situation and at that time
34:16
I believed that everything that had happened to us was the worst thing that woman
34:22
could do. But I was about to start something even more horrible. We
34:27
' re starting to get both my brothers and I sick. We had a
34:30
fever two with a lot of phlegm and a strange purple rash. This whole
34:35
thing was pretty weird. We went to a lot of doctors, but none
34:39
of us knew we had. Everyone thought it might be some allergy, but
34:44
every day we got worse and we had to stay home all day. I
34:49
remember we felt terrible. We had no energy to do anything at all.
34:53
Our father had to work, so he wasn' t with us either and
35:00
the strange thing was that he never showed any symptoms of getting the disease,
35:05
which reinforced the doctors' theory that it was some allergy or something similar.
35:09
On one of the occasions we were home, all we could do was watch
35:14
TV. We were trying to find some entertaining program for the four of us.
35:20
Finally, we put on a movie. However, a couple of minutes
35:23
after selecting the film, the channels began to change. This was very strange,
35:31
as the remote control was on the table and none of us were touching
35:35
it. Not only that, we also began to feel very cold, more
35:42
than normal and suddenly stopped on a channel that we had never seen before.
35:46
It was like a very rudimentary home broadcast. The characters looked like puppets,
35:52
but like the typical string and wood puppets. The most disturbing thing was that
35:59
they seemed to be characterized as we and our neighbor across the street. Suddenly,
36:06
the puppet representing the neighbor began to repeatedly beat the puppets who represented us,
36:10
laughing wildly. We were all in choc watching that without understanding what was
36:20
going on. After that, the neighbor' s puppet looked directly at the
36:23
screen as if she knew we were watching and began to laugh even louder and
36:30
at that time the TV volume also increased to its peak. I tried to
36:37
take the remote to turn off the TV, but I couldn' t make
36:43
it work, even when I disconnected it. The image of the laughing puppet
36:46
continued for almost two more minutes before it finally went out. None of us
36:52
dared turn on the TV. That day we all went to our frightened room
36:59
and the next morning the situation became even more complicated. For my younger brother,
37:04
that disease began to affect him much more than others and began to have
37:08
seizures due to high fevers and the purple rash covered much of his body.
37:15
The doctors had no explanation or treatment for what was happening to him in those
37:22
days. Our maternal grandmother visited us and when she saw that all her grandchildren
37:27
were sick, she became alarmed and despaired We told her everything that had been
37:31
going on with her neighbor and how we thought she had caused us this evil.
37:36
My worried grandmother decided to take us all out of the apartment and take
37:40
us home. Even though we didn' t get better right away, we
37:46
saw a big improvement once we got out of that place. Fevers decreased and
37:50
chills stopped. Our maternal grandmother decided to take us to a clean lady to
37:57
help us get rid of whatever was affecting us. The woman explained to us
38:02
that someone had cursed us to die and helped us to free ourselves from that
38:07
curse, assuring us that whoever had thrown it at us would be returned.
38:13
I clearly remember how the rash began to disappear from our skin almost as if
38:19
by magic and how we felt healthier after cleaning. Our maternal grandfather proposed that
38:23
we stay with them. Indignant that our situation had reached that point because of
38:30
our father' s negligence and to anyone' s surprise. Our father accepted
38:35
right away, but when we went to the apartment for our things, we
38:40
realized something. It had been about two weeks and we found a wake right
38:45
across the street. We learned that the woman had contracted a serious illness and
38:50
had died in a matter of days and although no one could explain it,
38:54
it is clear to me that the evil she desired was returned to her and
38:59
she could not resist it. Currently, my brothers and I live normal and
39:02
happy lives and I am grateful that I have never experienced anything like this again.
39:15
This is a real story. My brothers and I remember her perhaps more
39:20
than we would like. It happened when I was about seven or eight years
39:24
old, my sister a year older than me and my brother a year younger.
39:29
Together with our mother, we were constantly moving. At that time,
39:35
my mom was a single mother and could barely pay the rent, so we
39:39
were always looking for cheaper places to survive in the city. We went through
39:45
eight different places during that period, but the worst experience for me was in
39:51
that neighborhood we moved to. It was a building that looked very old and,
39:57
from what I learned later, it was something that was built in times
40:00
of the porphyriate. The apartment we rented was on the second floor and while
40:06
I was helping mom put the boxes with our stuff in the house I saw
40:09
something strange and at first I didn' t consider it weird. The window
40:14
of the neighboring department seemed to be completely dark, but as I looked closer,
40:21
I realized that it was not the darkness that I saw, but a
40:24
curtain so black that I did not let the light pass. And then,
40:28
at one point I saw those curtains slowly open revealing only hair, a long
40:34
black hair that seemed to stick to the glass. It was strange, but
40:39
I decided not to think too much about it and I continued to help my
40:43
mom. The three of us shared the same room, which didn' t
40:50
bother us much, as it almost always was. And while we were trying
40:53
to divide the room as fairly as possible, something happened. We were arguing
40:59
about the place near the window, when we heard a strong blow that seemed
41:04
to come from the neighboring department and although we were used to noisy neighbors,
41:10
this blow was so strong that it made all the walls of our room rumble.
41:15
None of us meant anything since we were already used to different types of
41:21
people and places because of how often we moved. Besides, we had heard
41:27
Mom say that neighborhood was the only thing I could afford at the time,
41:31
so we knew we shouldn' t ruin it. That' s why none
41:37
of us said anything and we just thought that probably the person on the other
41:42
side of the wall had been bothered by the noise we made and that'
41:45
s why he had hit her. As a warning. However, during the
41:50
first week we realized something more strange. Although the coup at PARED was not
41:54
repeated. We began to notice that throughout the house very, very much hair
42:00
appeared. At first, they were just strands here and there, but then
42:05
we found whole balls of hair or large amounts under the beds. Every time
42:09
we cleaned, the strange thing was that the hair was too long and too
42:15
black. In short, it could not belong to any of us. Mom
42:19
had very short hair and even though my sister had it long, it was
42:23
from a clear coffee, so it was impossible for all that hair loss to
42:29
be out of her. This started to be very strange, both for Mom
42:34
and for us. But by not being able to find a logical explanation,
42:38
we were just cleaning everything up. Even Mom made a rule that we couldn
42:43
' t open any windows, that she didn' t have a mosquito net
42:47
and that we should never leave the door open. I remember that during our
42:52
first months on the spot we never saw much movement in the apartment next door.
42:57
In fact, we didn' t even see anyone get out of there.
43:00
And if it wasn' t for the occasional noises we heard, we
43:06
might have thought it was empty there was a restaurant that if one of its
43:12
waitresses didn' t come, they would call Mom to cover those shifts.
43:15
It was always at night and on one occasion, when Mom took a couple
43:19
of night shifts, we had become friends with some children who lived at the
43:23
end of the street, whose father also worked as a watchman. They invited
43:29
us to see a movie at his house. So, knowing that Mom wouldn
43:32
' t be back until late, we accepted and by the time we got
43:37
back to the neighborhood. It was about eleven o' clock at night.
43:39
We were walking quietly towards our apartment to go to bed before Mom came back.
43:46
And that' s when we saw the person who lived next to us.
43:52
She was too old a woman. He was seen for his bent posture
43:57
and also because he used a walking stick. But that wasn' t the
44:00
strange thing. The strange thing was that he had a black hair, too
44:06
black considering his advanced age. It was more than reasonable for him to have
44:09
hair full of gray hair, but this was not the case. I don
44:14
' t know if he painted his hair or anything like that, but at
44:19
the time I could only think that that hair didn' t seem to be
44:22
from that body. But, if that were not enough, that hair was
44:27
not what could be said normal either was too long. A part of him
44:31
being dragged down the floor while she climbed the stairs, although this one did
44:37
not look dirty, but quite the opposite. He was as clean and silky
44:42
as the rest. In case this entire description is not enough, both my
44:46
brothers and I can give the truth that that old woman was coming out cold.
44:52
While we were walking to our house down the street, we felt nothing
44:57
cold, but as soon as we looked at it we could feel our whole
45:01
body starting to cool down. With only his presence. The three of us
45:06
stayed petrified at the foot of the ladder. None of us had the courage
45:10
to start climbing, at least not until that old lady was no longer there.
45:15
Finally, when the old woman was upstairs, she turned down looking at
45:22
us and after several months we could see her face, although it was a
45:25
little covered. Therefore, hair that still had we could see clearly his eyes
45:30
of a rather strange gray color. He looked at all three of us for
45:35
a couple of seconds before turning back and moving on. We didn' t
45:42
dare climb the stairs until we heard his apartment door close somehow. I have
45:50
always felt somewhat responsible for what happened, although I was just a child and
45:53
at that age there is little sense of congruence. I just feel like I
45:59
had to act differently. Perhaps if I had, the story would have taken
46:04
a completely different course, since the next morning I was the one who was
46:09
responsible for spreading the news to all the children in the neighborhood, and this
46:15
situation quickly spread like smoke. All of a sudden, all the children nearby
46:21
knew it and very soon many of them challenged themselves to look out the windows
46:24
of the so- called Witch, although none of the brave ones who dared
46:30
to do so managed to see anything, because, as I said before,
46:36
the windows were covered by thick black curtains that did not allow any natural light
46:40
to pass through into the Women' s department. I remember that for several
46:45
weeks the issue of the Witch between my friends and I was so recurring that
46:50
it was practically spoken daily. We were wondering what kind of curses she could
46:54
throw or if she was an evil witch. And to be completely honest,
46:58
I loved all the attention I was getting. I told them how his hair
47:05
appeared in my house almost every day, and that made everyone want to go
47:08
to my house to check for themselves. I even started getting a weight to
47:14
get in. Everything got out of control very quickly and without realizing it.
47:19
There were a lot of kids there to make jokes about that witch. At
47:22
first, the jokes were too innocent. They were just going as close as
47:30
possible to his apartment and shouting the word witch and then running out of there
47:35
and hiding in my apartment. But the jokes didn' t end there since
47:39
seeing no one come out when they said those words, we started knocking on
47:45
the door first, once or twice just to run out right away. When
47:51
we did that, we hid behind huge pots and sometimes we could see from
47:58
a distance according to how that woman opened the door, but never saw anyone.
48:05
That only made all the children confirm my story of the witch, since
48:08
now they had seen her with her gray eyes and long hair, which,
48:14
clearly in our childish mind, was indicative of that woman being a witch.
48:22
I remember clearly that when the knocks were no longer enough for us, we
48:27
started throwing stones at her every time that woman looked out the door. They
48:30
weren' t big stones, they were just little stones we threw at her
48:37
while we called her Witch. And although I would like to say that I
48:39
never participated in those things, the reality is that I was the one who
48:45
usually encouraged everyone, as for example, on one occasion I had seen a
48:51
movie in which the witch was melted with a little water, and this seemed
48:53
to me to be a great idea. I remember that with the help of
48:58
my neighbor, who had a pile of water, I proposed this wonderful idea
49:02
and although my sister told me that I should not do that, that it
49:07
was not right, I did not listen and followed my plan. By that
49:12
time, almost none of the children dared to knock on the door, as
49:16
that old woman had begun to open the door almost instantly and had already seen
49:22
some of them walk away and, in addition to shouting some curses, said
49:28
that the old woman had gone to talk to her mothers. After that,
49:30
however, I wanted to carry out my plan at all costs. He convinced
49:36
my little brother that he was the one to touch and then to run away
49:40
so that in this way he could wet the witch and get rid of her
49:45
evil once and for all. At first, my brother didn' t want
49:50
to do it, but after a while I managed to convince him and we
49:54
started carrying out the plan. And while I was hiding behind some pots waiting
49:59
for my hand brother to do his part, my sister was by my side
50:02
remembering that it would be best not to do anything, but it was too
50:07
late. My brother knocked on the door and, to his misfortune, barely
50:12
gave the first knock that woman opened the door in one blow, as if
50:15
she were already waiting for that. And at that moment we panicked, for
50:21
that long- haired woman took my brother from her arm without letting go and
50:24
shook him very abruptly. I was armed with false courage, took that water
50:31
pistol and started spraying the old woman' s face and, although for obvious
50:35
reasons, it did not melt, released my brother and almost immediately entered the
50:39
apartment back. For the first time, that woman saw exactly the face of
50:45
us, three of us who had been making life impossible for several weeks now.
50:52
At that point, the three of us got in and we felt so
50:57
scared that we didn' t go out and play all day. We just
51:00
stayed locked in our room, thinking that the witch would tell our mother what
51:05
we did to her or worse, like she could throw some curse at us.
51:09
However, that woman’ s reprisals were much worse. I will never
51:15
forget that during that night, when I finally got to sleep, I began
51:20
to dream something very strange. I was running in a kind of maze,
51:24
but that wasn' t the scariest thing in the dream, but I was
51:30
running because a giant ball of black hair was behind me and besides, I
51:36
could hear like a demonic voice Salia from inside all that tangle of hair and,
51:40
by the way, that I was trying to run away was not possible
51:44
at some point. I was totally cornered in the maze and suddenly, as
51:47
that ball of hair drew closer and closer, I could see between it round
51:52
grey eyes staring at me. I knew if I got caught, I'
52:00
d get back to part of that hairball. I was about to get caught
52:04
when I finally woke up. However, my nightmare was just about to begin,
52:09
for almost immediately I realized that what had awakened me had not been the
52:13
dream itself, but I was listening to noises. And those noises were nothing
52:20
but my younger brother, who was coughing in a desperate way as if he
52:24
was short of breath. I wanted to go ask my mom for help,
52:30
but at the time I realized it wasn' t even midnight yet and so
52:34
my mom hadn' t come back from her night shift yet. I approached
52:37
my brother to see what was happening to him. My sister said she might
52:44
be choking with her own saliva, but the reality was much scarier. By
52:49
turning on the light we could realize that my brother had his mouth full of
52:54
hair, long black hair that seemed to be stuck up his throat and,
53:00
for the most part, that we started to pull them out. It was
53:05
going out longer and more we took about two minutes to get rid of absolutely
53:10
all the hair in his mouth. It was too gross to see the huge
53:15
amount of hair inside him We breathed relief. But seconds later we realized that
53:22
this tangle of hair was starting to move. It was almost as if I
53:27
had a life of my own and I only managed to see how it slipped
53:31
under the door and I no longer dared to open up to look more or
53:35
follow it. And after that day, the hair problem got worse. While
53:39
hair could become a problem before all that madness broke loose, it was just
53:45
lying in some parts of the house. But since that long- haired old
53:52
lady had seen us now, the hair was literally everywhere. Every thing that
53:58
came into our house automatically had to have hair. It didn' t matter
54:04
if they were closed packages like cereal or frying. You could literally finish buying
54:08
them in the store and if you went into the house and opened them,
54:13
you could see too much hair inside them, entangled, between your food or
54:16
on the floor, also in the shower, while you rinsed your head,
54:22
you could feel as between your fingers you started to have hair that clearly couldn
54:28
' t be yours. I even remember trying to bathe in pairs by getting
54:31
one to wash the other' s head, but the result was always the
54:36
same. In between the foam it was impossible for you to see the moment
54:40
when it began to appear and the washbasins were always stuck. So, hair.
54:45
When I tried, I had a clear memory of how my mother didn
54:50
' t want to worry us She was also aware that that wasn' t
54:54
normal. I have memories of several priests blessing our house and such clean people.
55:00
However, none of that served. Always. I thought that, in
55:06
addition to never telling my mother directly what had happened, the reason we didn
55:09
' t move quickly was because of the economic reason and also because of the
55:15
simple fact that nothing so serious ever happened to my mother. Just our house
55:20
that was getting full of hair. But in the case of my brothers and
55:23
I, the situation was completely different. We could wake up at midnight being
55:30
suffocated because our hair was getting into our mouths or noses. That was something
55:36
that began to happen so often that it became relatively normal to fix. On
55:42
another occasion, while I was sleeping, I heard between dreams how my younger
55:46
brother was screaming and when he opened his eyes, those screams kept ringing,
55:52
so when I turned both I and my sister saw horrified as I was stuck
55:58
to the wall tied with hair. It was as if the hair was trying
56:02
to pull him into the other apartment, at the same time we heard that
56:07
macabre laugh from a woman on the other side. All this happened when our
56:12
mother had the night shifts, so she never really found out what was going
56:15
on. I remember we even tried to slip a little paper under the door
56:22
of the Witch House to apologize. However, this was of no use,
56:28
as those events continued to happen. Eventually, our mother couldn' t cope
56:35
with the fact that so much hair appeared in the house for no specific reason,
56:39
and she got another place to move us. And even though until a
56:44
year ago she managed to get a job stable enough that we could finally stay
56:50
in a house, our mother doesn' t know everything we' ve been
56:54
through in that neighborhood. She tells the story as something very strange that happened
56:59
to r always referring to the hair, but none of us has ever wanted
57:05
to tell her what we live with the witch on the side. I'
57:15
m very desperate today. This has lasted almost three years and although I am
57:20
aware that I was the cause of everything I am suffering today. By seriously
57:23
sharing this, I hope I can find a solution to all my problems.
57:30
Throughout my life I have always had a great fascination and taste for everything related
57:35
to fantasy, magic and mythology. And even though it was all just entertainment
57:42
to me, I never really imagined that any of that could be real.
57:45
I used to take it as a fun thing to have a good time with.
57:51
But everything changed when I went into high school and met my best friend,
57:54
whom I will call Esmeralda to protect her identity. When I met her,
58:00
I noticed that Esmeralda also liked all those issues of witchcraft and science fiction,
58:05
so I quickly thought we could be very good friends. But the more
58:09
I talked to her, the more I realized that unlike me, Esmeralda did
58:14
not take that as things that could not happen in real life. She was
58:20
absolutely sure that magic and spells could be real. At first I was skeptical,
58:28
but Esmeralda began to introduce me more. In this world of witchcraft they
58:31
were things like astrology, crystals, reading tarot and all that sort of esotericism.
58:38
After a while, I began to enjoy it a lot, as I
58:43
felt that something really happened every time I used all those things. Very soon
58:49
we both started to level up trying to make small spells at midnight to bring
58:53
wealth or good auguries for some exam. It was a secret between the two
59:00
of us, because, while we didn' t think we were doing anything
59:05
wrong, we also knew that many people could make fun of us for doing
59:10
it to a reasonable extent. I felt that all of that worked and,
59:13
therefore, I liked this whole subject even more for that moment of my life.
59:17
I felt there was a whole world related to the magic I really wanted
59:22
to explore. I remember that we were already close to our senior year of
59:28
high school, when a new girl entered the classroom and from the first moment
59:32
I saw her I was quite in love with her. I didn' t
59:37
know how to explain it, but I knew I needed her to be my
59:39
girlfriend. I remember that day, during the hour of rest. I went
59:45
with her and tried to tell her my intentions by asking her out, but
59:51
she turned me down and didn' t really seem to have any interest in
59:55
me I felt sad and disappointed, so I walked away from her at the
59:59
time. However, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn' t
1:00:05
get rid of the idea that she was my girlfriend. I talked it over
1:00:08
with Esmeralda and she told me at first that it would be best for me
1:00:13
to forget her. After all, I didn' t even know her well
1:00:16
and she was only guiding me by her physical appearance. She also told me
1:00:20
that maybe when I talked a little more with her, I' d realize
1:00:23
we didn' t have much in common. But I totally disagreed with this
1:00:29
conclusion, which my best friend came to and I kept trying in some way.
1:00:36
I got her Facebook account and I tried to talk to her around,
1:00:39
but she would answer me very vaguely or very often just let me see I
1:00:45
knew I couldn' t talk about anything by that means with her either.
1:00:49
I felt too desperate, because something inside of me knew that if she even
1:00:54
gave me a chance, I could be the best boyfriend in the world for
1:01:00
her. However, I couldn' t get her to break that perception she
1:01:05
had of me. The course of the school cycle was moving forward and she
1:01:10
couldn' t get her to look at me no matter what she did.
1:01:15
Quite the opposite. I also realized that I was starting to bother her,
1:01:19
so I decided to leave her for peace although shortly after, when we were
1:01:23
close to the final exams, my friend found something on an Internet forum.
1:01:30
These were different kinds of rituals for moorings and sweetenings. She showed them to
1:01:36
me, not to use them, but just as a joke. He told
1:01:39
me he didn' t understand who could be desperate enough to fall so low
1:01:45
and bewitch a person to love him. Although in the first instance I agreed.
1:01:51
After reading about the sweetening, my opinion changed. Until that moment in
1:01:55
my life I knew absolutely nothing about sweetness. I' d heard about the
1:02:01
marre, but never about that. It turned out that, if you managed
1:02:07
to do it right, the person in question could have positive thoughts about you
1:02:14
and that didn' t seem entirely bad, at least in my thinking of
1:02:16
that moment. I thought it wouldn' t be forcing anyone to love me,
1:02:22
but getting her to open her mind a little bit to get to know
1:02:25
me a little better. I told my friend and she almost immediately told me
1:02:29
that it wasn' t worth doing something like that, but I was too
1:02:32
clinging to doing it, making all kinds of excuses and trying to lighten up
1:02:38
the fact that I would basically be bewitching a person. In the end,
1:02:44
my arguments were valid enough for emerald, so he told me he was fine
1:02:49
and that he would help me. We both waited until the full moon to
1:02:53
perform that sweetening ritual and, according to us, we did everything that Internet
1:02:59
forum did. I want us. The next day, however, absolutely nothing
1:03:02
happened. She kept on the same attitude as usual. I was disappointed by
1:03:09
this and my friend told me it was probably just made- up stuff.
1:03:15
I tried to forget it. But later that same day, when I returned
1:03:19
home, I reread those printed sheets that my friend had given me to perform
1:03:22
the ritual and realized that, by accident, my friend had also printed those
1:03:28
pages of tie the truth. I don' t know what happened to me,
1:03:35
since I always knew that something like that couldn' t be right and
1:03:38
that it wasn' t a good way to have someone by your side.
1:03:40
However, at that time I was blinded by wanting that girl to give me
1:03:46
only one chance by taking advantage of the fact that I had almost everything.
1:03:52
I did that job wishing it this time with all my might. Obviously,
1:03:57
I' m not putting what I did here. I wouldn' t want
1:04:00
anyone to do it, but let' s just say I had to bury
1:04:04
him in the end and when I finished I didn' t know if it
1:04:10
had worked or not, but I hoped it would. I remember a part
1:04:12
of me feeling very embarrassed about what I had done so much, so I
1:04:16
decided not to tell emerald, because I thought there was a high probability that,
1:04:21
like the sweetening, this mooring would not work either, so it wasn
1:04:27
' t worth humiliating for something like that. But when I barely walked into
1:04:30
the living room the next day, I noticed something. She stared at me,
1:04:35
smiled at me and greeted me. I greeted him back and went to
1:04:39
sit in the usual place next to my friend. I remember as soon as
1:04:45
I sat down, Esmeralda looked at me surprised and whispered that the sweetening had
1:04:49
worked. I returned an uncomfortable smile to her, because deep down I was
1:04:55
perfectly aware that that was not the reason she was waving at me at the
1:05:00
time. That same day, during the break, while waiting for my food
1:05:05
in the school cafeteria, that girl approached me and greeted me again. I
1:05:11
felt a little upset, but at the same time quite excited that my desires
1:05:15
were finally coming true. I said hello and we both started talking. But,
1:05:21
to my misfortune, I realized that, just as Esmeralda had predicted.
1:05:28
The reality is that we didn' t have much in common. We seemed
1:05:31
to be completely different people. To begin with, she was not interested in
1:05:38
the subject of mythology and magic at all. She was interested in things that
1:05:42
seemed boring to me, like football and volleyball. However, I decided to
1:05:48
ignore all this first conversation since at last, what I had long wanted was
1:05:53
becoming a reality and I assumed that it didn' t matter if we didn
1:06:00
' t have the same interests, because after all, in a relationship we
1:06:03
didn' t have to be exactly the same and we could find something that
1:06:10
we could share. Both. We spent about a week talking until we finally
1:06:15
became boyfriends. But it wasn' t something I asked for, because throughout
1:06:20
that week I was really trying to find themes in common with her or even
1:06:26
try to create something new so that we could both share, but we were
1:06:31
totally different. Besides, that girl was very obsessed, she texted me a
1:06:38
lot, and basically if I didn' t answer her in at least half
1:06:43
an hour, she' d call me to ask me what she was doing.
1:06:45
In fact, it was she who told me that we should be boyfriends
1:06:48
and, although I wasn' t quite sure by that time, I said
1:06:54
yes, because I thought it was something I had always wanted and to miss
1:07:00
the opportunity would be just ridiculous. However, something within me kept telling me
1:07:03
that was not right and the worst came as soon as our relationship was formalized.
1:07:10
That' s when that girl became much more dependent. She wanted me
1:07:15
to be with her all the time at school and, on top of that,
1:07:18
she was jealous practically of any girl who was near me, even Esmeralda.
1:07:25
He told me a number of times that I had to get away from
1:07:29
her so that our relationship would prosper. But I wasn' t willing to
1:07:32
do something like that because I really loved my friend very much and, besides,
1:07:38
I didn' t think it was the right thing to do. In
1:07:39
fact, I let him know. I told her I' d never get
1:07:43
away from my friend. After that, she started crying and yelling at me
1:07:46
that I was probably going to cheat on her and that kind of thing even
1:07:53
I remember that at that moment I saw the perfect opportunity to tell her once
1:07:58
and for all that maybe it would be better to finish if I didn'
1:08:01
t have confidence. But as soon as I told her those things, she
1:08:05
freaked out more and told me that I couldn' t let her really need
1:08:11
me and that kind of thing that made me feel too uncomfortable. I almost
1:08:15
immediately knew I couldn' t leave her because it was something I had done
1:08:19
and if I did, she could do something very bad like try her life.
1:08:25
So I decided to tell her I was okay, that I wasn'
1:08:29
t going to leave her, but that we' d have to put some
1:08:33
limits on our relationship so she could be healthier. Although at first she accepted
1:08:38
everything I was saying, I could quickly deduce that the only reason she was
1:08:43
accepting all that was for me not to leave her. And after a few
1:08:47
days, she started to auto invite herself to any exit she had with my
1:08:53
friend. If Esmeralda and I went out, she just happened to show up
1:08:58
at that place. To this day. I don' t know how.
1:09:00
She always knew where we were going to be. When it came time to
1:09:05
start seeing him from college. She was only sure of one thing and it
1:09:11
was that she wanted to go to the same university as I did At that
1:09:16
time I wanted to study computer science at the university and although I was very
1:09:21
aware that she was not interested in any of the careers offered by the university
1:09:26
I was applying to, she also applied and not only that, but she
1:09:31
decided to enroll in the exact same career as me. He reminded me many
1:09:36
times that it would be great if we stayed in the same room, had
1:09:42
the same classes and shared absolutely everything together until we graduated this whole situation seriously.
1:09:48
I was getting too uncomfortable, but because of my young age and also
1:09:54
the feeling of guilt that I felt for having made that tie with her,
1:09:59
it made me unable to leave her For a moment I thought that, perhaps
1:10:02
by fate randoms it was either her or maybe me, we would not pass
1:10:10
the university exam and we would have to go to different cities. That relationship
1:10:13
would gradually dissipate. But to my misfortune, I stayed at the same university
1:10:17
as her and while for her, all that was a very happy event.
1:10:23
It was a horrible thing for me. My best friend also stayed at the
1:10:27
same university, but she was studying language and literature. So, even though
1:10:31
we were still seeing each other because of the difference in classes and jobs,
1:10:38
we were seeing each other less and less, basically I was totally stuck with
1:10:45
my high school girlfriend as hard as I was trying. I couldn' t
1:10:47
get used to that dependent relationship. She wanted to know all the time where
1:10:51
she was or who she was with. She was extremely obsessed. I even
1:10:57
remember that I had installed something on my phone so that all the messages that
1:11:01
I received would also reach yours. Over the months, this whole situation became
1:11:05
totally unsustainable. So, one day armed with enough courage, I told her
1:11:14
that I no longer wanted to be her boyfriend and, as expected, she
1:11:17
started crying and telling me that I couldn' t let her love me and
1:11:21
all that kind of stuff anyone could ever say. I was just telling her
1:11:27
to leave me alone and she didn' t want to be her boyfriend anymore.
1:11:30
Finally, I decided to go away so that I would not get any
1:11:36
more remorse and decided to go back to her. I thought at that moment
1:11:40
that everything had already been solved and that I would have no problem. I
1:11:45
thought maybe over time, not being together, that mooring would just disappear,
1:11:49
but I couldn' t be more wrong. And after that day, she
1:11:54
started harassing me in an increasingly disturbing way. At first I only filled my
1:12:01
tray with all sorts of messages on any social network, whether it was Facebook,
1:12:06
Instagram, Whatsapp and even sent me several emails and no matter how many
1:12:13
times she blocked it. They always created new accounts to keep sending messages,
1:12:18
telling me that I had made a big mistake, that we were meant to
1:12:24
be together and that I would not rest until we were happy again. However,
1:12:29
I always ignored all these messages, erasing them almost immediately and many times
1:12:34
without opening them. But this was not enough to stop her and soon she
1:12:40
began to be physical. Different cards slipped under my door and my mailbox filled
1:12:45
only with letters from her begging for a second chance telling me that I was
1:12:51
going to change and many other things. I remember almost all the guys in
1:12:58
my apartment, I was happy to go on a date and they told me
1:13:01
not lucky, that it was because I had such a nice girl begging.
1:13:04
But I didn' t feel lucky at all. I felt too lonely,
1:13:09
and especially because very soon those letters became much more threatening, telling me that
1:13:15
I had seen myself talk to other girls and that if I thought of becoming
1:13:18
her boyfriend, then she would hurt them and then hurt me. All of
1:13:24
this was too serious and I tried to report it, but just because I
1:13:29
was a boy, no one gave importance to my case by telling me that
1:13:34
there was no problem and that she probably wasn' t serious about it.
1:13:39
Nobody did anything. I was so distressed that I asked Esmeraldas if we could
1:13:45
talk that I would really like to talk to her. So my friend made
1:13:48
the time and we agreed to meet in a part of the school to talk
1:13:53
and once there I vented with her. I told him absolutely everything, from
1:13:59
the moment I had made that mooring to everything that had been going on with
1:14:03
my ex- girlfriend until that day. My friend didn' t know very
1:14:08
well how to comfort me, but in an attempt to give me her support,
1:14:12
she hugged me. She told me she was fine and that, while
1:14:14
she had made a mistake, we just had to find a way to break
1:14:18
it so that she would stop seeing me as a necessity. After that we
1:14:24
said goodbye and each of us went away by his side although a couple of
1:14:28
hours later, when I was already home, my phone rang by that time
1:14:32
I had already gotten used to checking who the person was calling me and if
1:14:38
it was an unknown number. I definitely didn' t answer anymore, as
1:14:44
my ex- girlfriend used different types of phones to keep calling, but at
1:14:48
that point, when I checked the number, I realized it was emerald,
1:14:53
so, without thinking much, I answered thinking that maybe I had found something
1:14:58
related to the moorings and like those. However, although the person on the
1:15:02
other side, if he sounded like my friend, I couldn' t help
1:15:08
but notice that he sounded a little different, I couldn' t identify what
1:15:11
he was. But seriously, it was like he was worried about something.
1:15:14
I still asked her what she wanted and she told me that, please,
1:15:16
I had to go with her to her house. I found it a little
1:15:21
strange, but she insisted and told me I had to go. Finally,
1:15:26
I went over and headed home. Once there, what I found was absolutely
1:15:31
horrible. My friend rented a room on the roof of a house, so
1:15:36
I didn' t have Romies, although on the roof there were three more
1:15:41
rooms. When I came in, there was her and my ex- girlfriend,
1:15:45
and not only that, but my ex- girlfriend had her threatened with
1:15:48
a gun. He was totally out of his mind. She told us that
1:15:54
she knew that the two of us had something and that we had always been
1:15:58
making fun of her, although that could not be possible, because Esmeralda did
1:16:01
not like the boys and she knew it, despite our attempts to explain it
1:16:09
to her she did not understand it and kept pushing for us to be together
1:16:13
again. The situation was so tense that I was about to say yes,
1:16:15
but at that time the police arrived, as someone who rented the room across
1:16:20
the street had seen the whole scene from his window and had called her.
1:16:26
Luckily, the situation didn' t get older and although I thought it would
1:16:30
all be solved there, to my surprise, a couple of days later they
1:16:35
released it without any kind of consequence. Despite wanting to file complaints this time
1:16:41
legally, no one listened to me, so I only had to find a
1:16:45
way to break that mooring and after a long search on the Internet, we
1:16:49
found that the most efficient way was to find the thing I had buried and
1:16:55
destroy it. On the first weekend I could, along with my friend,
1:17:00
we went to where I had buried that and set out to dig up the
1:17:06
thing I had buried to do the mooring. However, once there I realized
1:17:12
that I was going to do something much more difficult than I thought, for
1:17:15
I had buried it in a wasteland near my house, but the owners of
1:17:19
that land had already sold sections of it and had already built a house right
1:17:24
where I remembered burying it. And, therefore, that thing was beneath the
1:17:31
concrete foundations of that dwelling, so it was simply impossible for me to dig
1:17:35
it up. In my desperation, we even tried to look around, but
1:17:44
we couldn' t find him and disappointed, we returned soon. My girlfriend
1:17:48
stalked me again and after a couple of weeks, dealing with it, we
1:17:54
decided to go with sorcerers and shamans to try to undo it. Most looked
1:17:58
at me with truth in or, finding it repugnant to have forced someone to
1:18:02
love me that way. However, most wanted to help me, although to
1:18:09
date we have failed to do anything. I know that I am experiencing the
1:18:13
consequences to this day, because none of them have managed to break that tie
1:18:17
I made, as everyone has told me that the only way to do this
1:18:21
is by digging up that amulet I made. But it' s impossible for
1:18:25
me right now. Stories written and adapted by Lisa Hernández
