4 Relatos Aterradores De Cosas MALDITAS Que Dejarán Sin DORMIR - Voces De La Noche · Niebla en el bosque con Evelith von

  The building where the facilities of the company inla imports Latin America are located,
• 0:12
  had been built fifty years ago. The building had obviously had its renovations with
• 0:18
  the passing of time, whenever these were necessary and the neighboring buildings were more
• 0:23
  or less the same style to make a sector or a block where it would
• 0:28
  take office management and work of this style, with greater ease than would be
• 0:33
  done if these constructions were placed in different parts of the city, mixing with
• 0:37
  suburbs, merely tourist or recreational places. It was a business area since its
• 0:46
  inception. That was explained to me by my father, who is one of
• 0:50
  the founding members of IMLA, but he also told me that, previously,
• 0:55
  the sector belonged to the natives of the region and to say that the extension
• 1:00
  of land was not bought would be very superficial as to what happened, because
• 1:06
  practically the place had been taken away from its previous owners under passive aggressive threats
• 1:11
  from people who have virtually unlimited resources, towards people who on many occasions do
• 1:17
  not even finish knowing well the rights to which they are creditors for the simple
• 1:22
  fact of living in the country and being citizens of it. It was obvious
• 1:26
  that the subject was not proud of him, but I was interested to know
• 1:30
  what happened back then. What I knew about the house was by insisting enough
• 1:34
  on my dad to tell me what happened and I always did it by diverting
• 1:40
  details and letting parts of the story pass that might have relevance. He told
• 1:47
  me that the builder who would be in charge of erecting the buildings in the
• 1:52
  area had spoken to the village leader adjacent to the lands where the buildings would
• 1:56
  be built. He lied to her that there was a very high percentage of
• 2:00
  pollution due to various factors in the area and that, for that reason,
• 2:06
  they wanted to buy the land to build a recycling area. This was claimed
• 2:09
  by the businessman of little or no sense of morality. It would be the
• 2:15
  only opportunity to sell the territorial extension that belonged to the people and its inhabitants,
• 2:20
  since they were supposedly the last company interested in making an investment that would
• 2:25
  easily take fifty years to recover. There was a deal in the end.
• 2:30
  Obviously, it was all a lie. No one wants to make an investment
• 2:36
  that takes a lifetime to recover. No company does any act of charity just
• 2:40
  to save the people. There is always a reason behind it which will bring
• 2:46
  economic profits to corporate entrepreneurs, which the leader of the natives did not know
• 2:52
  for being foreign to the city and the business world. This was discovered by
• 2:57
  the natives of the place. So she' s the one. The constructions
• 3:00
  on the site began and far from seeing anything that began to appear recycling plants,
• 3:06
  the first signs of what they were going to make buildings where they would
• 3:09
  house offices of large companies were to be seen. There was nothing the natives
• 3:15
  could claim. There was no legal hole or anything to hold on to,
• 3:21
  as the signatures had been put on official papers. The land was sold with
• 3:25
  deception, but that was not specific in the contracts. It was the cause
• 3:30
  of the sellers' confidence towards their buyers, who fell into a passive trap
• 3:37
  in a perfect way. What this bunch of greedy entrepreneurs did not know is
• 3:43
  that the natives would not stand by and if this was not solved by legal
• 3:46
  means, it would be on their own merits. And if they failed to
• 3:53
  achieve what, by right, was theirs from the beginning and was taken from
• 3:58
  them with deceit, at least they would ruin those who lied to them in
• 4:01
  such a brazen manner. The natives of the eastern part of the country were
• 4:08
  known and certainly feared for their ritualistic practices, which always kept them hermetic and
• 4:14
  private for the closest members of their communities. This hermetism was due to the
• 4:17
  fact that they did not want anyone other than their origin to practice and deform
• 4:21
  their rites, which were part of their culture and their ancestors. However,
• 4:29
  this was not only a cultural attraction for the inhabitants, but, as some
• 4:33
  say, the natives practice a kind of witchcraft that turns out to be harmful,
• 4:40
  a strong practice that results in the unleashing of a terrible curse on whomever
• 4:46
  it is directed. This practice. It is, in fact, a taboo
• 4:50
  among the natives, therefore, something unknown to the rest of the population,
• 4:55
  which means that there is very little information about how this kind of rituals are
• 5:00
  performed to direct death and ruin to the victim. The leader of the natives
• 5:04
  threatened the board of entrepreneurs. He told them that they will not find rest
• 5:11
  from the curse that will fall upon them, that the greatest mistake for themselves
• 5:15
  and for their future generations was to take away from them what was rightfully theirs
• 5:19
  and that they will repent of what they did. The majority of entrepreneurs laughed
• 5:26
  at others by jokingly taking it from that older man, who, seeing that
• 5:29
  there was nothing else to do, resorted to a simple and empty threat to
• 5:33
  intimidate them. I started going to help my dad in administrative matters, as
• 5:41
  he usually took large amounts of work home, but weeks later. As this
• 5:46
  resulted in an important time investment for me. I was hired for a season,
• 5:54
  as I was close to completing my university studies and could soon sign a
• 5:59
  more longel contract in this same company. A time passed since the altercations with
• 6:03
  the natives of the region and things had calmed down enough, but the words
• 6:09
  of the elder leader of his village were not only to scare us sooner we
• 6:15
  would discover, although some still doubt what some people are able to do when
• 6:20
  they take away their territories. Down the halls of the offices. A strange
• 6:27
  rumor began to circulate several, in fact, but the most frequent and mentioned
• 6:31
  by the corporate employees was that there was a man who from time to time
• 6:35
  saw himself wandering around, in any area of the building, in places where
• 6:41
  there would not have to be people. It was someone that no one knew,
• 6:46
  that no employee had been able to identify and that, in fact,
• 6:49
  looked very different from any worker in the place. He was bent over and
• 6:54
  wore an overol as if it were a maintenance employee. He had a strange,
• 6:59
  very fracturing step. They called him the one who walks like penguin or
• 7:03
  the unknown maintenance. Seeing it was usually an anomaly that was not taken too
• 7:09
  seriously, as the presence of this person did not cause any harm, no
• 7:14
  altercation, and nothing was lost in the presence of this stranger. He didn
• 7:19
  ' t get a close look either. There were always at least ten meters
• 7:24
  of distance between the person who was able to spot him and himself. The
• 7:29
  presence of the stranger was constant, but also sudden. And one thing that
• 7:33
  no one talked about more than because they hadn' t realized this is that
• 7:39
  the anonymous man started making his random appearances since the sunset fell and was frequent
• 7:44
  at night. Those who were in the office in the morning or half a
• 7:49
  day claim never to have seen him. However, starting in the evening it
• 7:54
  was when it was most commented that they saw someone strange walking only in the
• 7:59
  darkest corridors of the complex. The first time I saw it was on one
• 8:05
  occasion that I had to go to one of the tallest floors of the building,
• 8:09
  where work is still being done on the internal maintenance of the rooms and
• 8:13
  cubicles in order to adapt them and use them as workspaces. He had gone
• 8:18
  to take photographs of the materials and make a quick inventory to know what it
• 8:24
  took for the builders to follow his work. As I was leaving the place,
• 8:30
  I could see someone watching me from a distance hiding his body behind the
• 8:35
  frame of a door. I thought it was someone from the maintenance staff or
• 8:39
  the same construction company, but something strange was done to me, because there
• 8:45
  shouldn' t be people doing anything there, especially because of the black construction
• 8:48
  conditions. These floors weren' t safe and if you were going up,
• 8:54
  you had to have explicit authorization from someone in charge of building management. I
• 9:00
  followed the silhouette that I had seen so fleetingly, but as I got to
• 9:05
  where it was, it was only a matter of seconds ago. There was
• 9:07
  nothing and no one to disappear in that matter of time. That person should
• 9:13
  have been extremely quick or hiding in a secret passageway, which was not an
• 9:18
  option, as it goes without saying that there were no such things in the
• 9:24
  place. Then I turned around to finish what I was doing and saw him
• 9:30
  again about 15 meters from where I was standing. It is as if it
• 9:35
  had materialized behind me, for there was no other way to pass into the
• 9:39
  room, where I reached to see it. It was walking in the opposite
• 9:43
  direction to me little by little it was dissolving between the dimness of the unlit
• 9:48
  areas of the complex in black work. I didn' t want to follow
• 9:52
  his trail. Naturally, I was very frightened to see him, but even
• 9:56
  more so to feel his presence. It was something different from any other person.
• 10:00
  It gave a strange feeling, of heaviness and worry, like when something
• 10:05
  goes wrong, but you don' t know what exactly as if you left
• 10:09
  something halfway over and you kept that slope. It' s strange and hard
• 10:15
  to understand, but now that I' m trying, it' s even
• 10:22
  harder to try to explain how the weeks went by. The strange presence of
• 10:24
  him became more recurrent and I was surprised by the carelessness that almost everyone had
• 10:28
  regarding this person. If you can call it that, then someone from the
• 10:35
  unauthorized staff wandering around can become extremely dangerous. Then, after talking about this
• 10:43
  and insisting on my father, he decided to put a security camera circuit inside
• 10:46
  the entire building. It' s something that, anyway, was going to
• 10:52
  be sooner or later, but the strange presence brought this task forward. I
• 10:58
  used to go through the cameras myself when someone in the place said he saw
• 11:03
  the stranger hanging around, but he never managed to catch anything. The case
• 11:09
  was beginning to be more illogical and inexplicable than before, as there seemed to
• 11:13
  be no possible way to have evidence of this appearance, and I began to
• 11:18
  question in what is real and not. I didn' t believe in ghosts
• 11:24
  or apparitions, but at this point I didn' t know if a person
• 11:28
  you see walking down the street is real or just something you see, something
• 11:31
  that isn' t really there and that can' t talk or do any
• 11:37
  kind of interaction with others. It was something that was starting to drive me
• 11:41
  crazy and that kept me more and more on the lookout for the security tapes,
• 11:46
  because it seemed impossible to me that there was not a single trace of
• 11:52
  this strange being in the days even more strange things began to happen than only
• 11:56
  the constant round of a stranger whom no one knows, started to get sick
• 12:01
  and to die personal people of the company. Worst of all, they were
• 12:03
  dying in a horribly tragic way. On one occasion, one of the elevators
• 12:09
  failed and fell suddenly to the ground floor from the fifth floor, taking the
• 12:13
  lives of seven people. Later, the construction area on the higher floors seemed
• 12:20
  like a death trap, as workers in charge of enabling the area died very
• 12:26
  often in situations that seemed to be mere neglects. Then personal began to get
• 12:33
  sick and then to get horribly worse until he died. At this point I
• 12:39
  did not know how to react, as my father was one of those people
• 12:43
  who fell ill. I didn' t know if all this had an explanation
• 12:48
  or, on the other hand, whether it was anything related to everything that
• 12:52
  had happened to the natives of the place. It was possible that everything that
• 12:54
  was happening was a curse. You didn' t know about this point,
• 13:01
  but it allowed me to doubt whether it was or whether, on the contrary,
• 13:05
  everything was a succession of events and neglects with an outcome. For the
• 13:09
  rest. Unfortunately, the building began to gain fame for being cursed, as
• 13:13
  not only my father and the company' s main shareholders were aware of the
• 13:18
  way the place was built, but people were beginning to talk about the curse
• 13:22
  of the Himla building, which brought fear and bad fame to the place and,
• 13:28
  consequently, a fall in the company' s economic performance. There were
• 13:35
  few employees left. The works on top of the building stopped, as the
• 13:39
  hired builder refused to send more people to the building. I' d make
• 13:43
  it clear. But after carrying out a thorough review of the site to prevent
• 13:48
  more than appeared to be work accidents with the fame that the place was already
• 13:54
  beginning to have and all the unfortunate events that occurred in such a period of
• 13:58
  time r rns. The company was in red numbers and the building was about
• 14:03
  to be cancelled because the other administrative buildings in the company had to allocate part
• 14:09
  of their monthly budget to pay damages, resignations and compensation to the families of
• 14:15
  the workers who had died. For the past few weeks, my father fell
• 14:22
  into a coma, which was alarming to me and our whole family. The
• 14:28
  strangest of all of this was that he was not the only one in this
• 14:31
  state, but that the other two founding members of the company had had the
• 14:35
  same fate and two more had died in accidents that seemed to have nothing to
• 14:41
  do with buying a land. A little over two years ago when I learned
• 14:46
  about the health status of the other entrepreneurs and the death of a couple more
• 14:50
  was when I had no doubt about what was happening in the place. It
• 14:56
  was a curse, one made by the nastis s of the area where the
• 15:01
  land was bought with deceit and lies. It was too much. The consequences
• 15:05
  of this act were extreme and for a long time I refused to believe that
• 15:11
  such a thing could exist. But it exists and was happening at that exact
• 15:16
  moment. My dad was in a coma and in danger of dying. Soon
• 15:20
  I had to do something or if I wouldn' t lose it forever I
• 15:24
  decided to go to the place where the natives of the area lived. I
• 15:28
  wanted to find the one responsible for throwing the curse at my father and the
• 15:33
  other people who had died or were close to doing so. I know that
• 15:37
  something unjust was done, something bad and that those responsible for such a scam
• 15:41
  deserved punishment, something that restored balance and peace to the people whose space was
• 15:46
  snatched away with lies, but it was death that they deserved. It was
• 15:52
  only fair that people who had little or nothing to do with the injustice committed
• 15:58
  fourteen months ago should also die. I don' t think so, and
• 16:02
  that' s why I wanted to find the person responsible for this. It
• 16:06
  was difficult, but I managed to enter the bosom of the native community of
• 16:10
  the place. He wanted to speak to their leader, for if it had
• 16:14
  not been he who would have made the curse. I' d probably be
• 16:18
  aware of how it' s done and how it can be reversed. Then
• 16:22
  I knew that this person had died, but his place was occupied by his
• 16:26
  brother, who now served as a sort of president or mayor of the Community.
• 16:33
  It should be noted that these people live and were raised in a village.
• 16:37
  They are not uncivilized at all, they have cell phones, they use
• 16:42
  cars, they are completely normal people and adapted to the 21st century. However,
• 16:47
  it is their ritual customs and usages that make them distinguish themselves from those
• 16:52
  who live in the city next to their village. I was able to speak
• 16:59
  to this man, the leader of the community, but I did not get
• 17:03
  any desired results. I told him that I was aware of the curse and
• 17:07
  that I wanted it to stop, because it was taking innocent lives. He
• 17:11
  told me that even if he wanted to, he would not be able to
• 17:15
  stop her, because whoever made her his brother had already died and nothing could
• 17:22
  stop what he left tied up in life. I also asked him if when
• 17:25
  he would stop all this, to which he replied that until the company is
• 17:29
  ruined, so more and more people were near to dying. I offered him
• 17:34
  back to the lands that were taken from them, but he did not want
• 17:38
  to know anything more about this land, for he claimed that those hectares were
• 17:45
  already contaminated by people like us and that it was useless for something that my
• 17:48
  father and his collaborators did to be reversed, because the damage assured the leader
• 17:55
  of the natives was incurable. I left without getting anything good from the conversation
• 17:59
  I had with nr with this man. But to my luck, the daughter
• 18:03
  of one of the natives caught my attention as she was leaving the village.
• 18:07
  She told me that she knew who she was and that it wasn' t
• 18:11
  just everything that was going on, so she offered to help me without anyone
• 18:15
  else in the village knowing, because this would mean a great reprisal against her
• 18:21
  to what I accepted. She was the daughter of the new leader of the
• 18:25
  natives and I found her willingness to help me strange. When questioning her about
• 18:30
  why she was doing it, she only told me that no one else should
• 18:33
  die because of what happened before, because of the conflict between the natives and
• 18:37
  the people who bought the land where the building was built. We went to
• 18:42
  the offices at night, when there was no one inside. She performed a
• 18:47
  healing ritual, or at least that' s what she assured me she would
• 18:51
  do was strange, for she seemed to know where the most common place in
• 18:56
  the building was to spot the stranger around. He seemed to be like this
• 19:00
  without emphasis peculiarly in these halls and halls. The ritual was something that took
• 19:06
  him several hours and during this period of time, the stranger became present and
• 19:11
  passed by more and more close to us. He seemed to be stalking us
• 19:17
  and even gave me the impression that this entity wanted her to stop. It
• 19:21
  was as if with the advance of the ritual, the being was losing strength
• 19:25
  and almost in the end its presence felt only as a shadow that you see
• 19:30
  of rejoice like this until almost completely disappearing. She told me that this is
• 19:34
  not going to stop the curse, but that it would make deaths less frequent
• 19:40
  and that the stranger' s presence would no longer be so constant. After
• 19:45
  this, three more people died, including my father. Then I was able
• 19:51
  to convince the remaining major investors to leave the building, as it only cost
• 19:56
  the company and a black stain on the company' s history and individual names.
• 20:04
  Well, I didn' t dare tell you this was a curse,
• 20:08
  because you probably wouldn' t believe me It' s been three years since
• 20:15
  this happened. The building is currently abandoned and in a few more years it
• 20:19
  will become public property, although I could not return to the natives their territory
• 20:25
  I think it was wise to leave the place that was removed from their hands.
• 20:29
  Nor could I save my father, for everything seemed to happen too soon,
• 20:34
  although after this, the curse seemed to be over or at least paused.
• 20:41
  However, there are still a few years to go before the building collapses.
• 20:45
  But while that happens, I am sure that through its abandoned corridors and
• 20:51
  its dark cubicles, there is still the essence of that strange man, the
• 20:56
  one who began to see when this curse was just beginning. I' m
• 21:07
  a merchant at a place in the center of my city. I usually come
• 21:10
  home after one in the morning, as the journey is sometimes more than an
• 21:15
  hour and a half alive alone and the only company I have is my cat
• 21:19
  ' s. I don' t usually be a person who believes a lot
• 21:26
  in paranormal things. To be honest, until before the story I' m
• 21:29
  about to share, I didn' t usually go to church much or even
• 21:33
  persignate myself, as I didn' t consider it necessary. I live in
• 21:37
  a house that a guy rents me. It' s a pretty big house
• 21:41
  and I actually have some empty spaces, there' s even a room I
• 21:47
  don' t usually open. Often that' s where my uncle keeps gadgets
• 21:49
  or furniture he buys. He is a person who buys enough things, even
• 21:56
  there are many of them that he has never used and has reached such a
• 22:00
  point that in his home he cannot have them and he will leave them to
• 22:03
  the property that I rent. One afternoon, when I was working in my
• 22:07
  business, he called me and told me that he would stop later some things
• 22:11
  that, if I wasn' t there, he would be in charge of
• 22:15
  closing. Well, as I said, he seemed to have an obsession with
• 22:19
  buying and accumulating. So I took it as something already very common. When
• 22:25
  I closed and went home, I called him to find out if I had
• 22:29
  already stopped things and he said yes, that I had already gone that even
• 22:33
  by settling things, my cat had gone into the room and before leaving had
• 22:37
  tried to get him out of there, but I had not been able.
• 22:42
  The truth is that I got angry a little after what he told me,
• 22:45
  since my cat is usually very nervous and hiding is usually very difficult to get
• 22:49
  out of the place where he is. And that' s why sometimes I
• 22:53
  ' m sick, so I tried to hurry to get there as fast as
• 23:00
  possible and get him out of there. When I got home, I realized
• 23:03
  that my cat was squealing, but I took it easy, as he is.
• 23:08
  When he' s hungry to go into the room to get him out
• 23:14
  and see what all that was going to leave my uncle, I found lamps
• 23:18
  tool, books, records and toys, things that were normal to find there.
• 23:23
  He used to buy toys to give them to some very small cousins in
• 23:29
  the family. And as I was curious among things, I realized that there
• 23:33
  was a rag doll about twenty centimeters with a head, hands and feet of
• 23:37
  porcelain. I found it quite curious and, above all, I began to
• 23:44
  think that it was a little old toy, as for a child of this
• 23:48
  time. I left things in their place and took out my cat to feed
• 23:52
  him already tired, I set out to sleep and everything happened normally. I
• 23:59
  know my cat and when he has a little strange behaviors, I noticed that
• 24:03
  from that night he started acting in a different way. He seemed like he
• 24:08
  was scared. In fact, a couple of days later he got sick.
• 24:14
  I talked to my uncle assuming he had a responsibility to leave him in the
• 24:19
  room. My uncle is already a big person, he usually walks too much
• 24:25
  and buys at different points of the city. Normally I don' t give
• 24:30
  importance to everything he brings home, but this time I felt a little different
• 24:33
  vibe, as if there was something very mysterious in the room. In the
• 24:38
  following days, when my cat recovered, I had a lot of insistence on
• 24:44
  entering the room. He scratched the door and mauled it to let him in.
• 24:48
  I would open the door and immediately rush in and hide beneath all the
• 24:52
  things that were there. He usually sleeps with me, but from that strange
• 24:59
  behavior he began to stay in the living room, in the kitchen and even
• 25:03
  in the bathroom. It' s like he doesn' t feel safe anywhere
• 25:07
  in the house. It came to the point where I had to move her
• 25:11
  place to sleep, as she definitely didn' t want to enter my room
• 25:15
  at night. I was worried about all this. Little by little the house
• 25:19
  began to feel another kind of atmosphere. The truth is, it was kind
• 25:23
  of heavy to be there. I got to a point where I' d
• 25:27
  rather be at work. For this the only strange thing was my cat'
• 25:33
  s behavior. Nothing else had happened, but I was no longer at ease.
• 25:38
  In fact, at night I had a hard time falling asleep. I
• 25:42
  had never experienced what is known as sleep paralysis, but I began to have
• 25:48
  it. I don' t know if it was stress, suggestion or thoughts
• 25:52
  that made me have that, but it became very common. I tried not
• 25:57
  to talk to anyone because I wanted you no one would understand. I thought
• 26:02
  it was silly to express it, I mean, there was nothing there,
• 26:07
  just stuff thrown up and the truth there was no reason to be like that.
• 26:11
  But somehow I felt strange. I had once read that it was not
• 26:18
  good to accumulate so many old things and especially from people you didn' t
• 26:22
  know, because maybe they kept a story behind them and I, in truth,
• 26:27
  preferred to ignore all this. Even though the house was too big,
• 26:30
  I never felt afraid. In fact, I felt quite accompanied by my cat,
• 26:37
  but I got to the point where I preferred to organize meetings or parties
• 26:41
  over the weekend so as not to feel this strange feeling that had come into
• 26:45
  my life. When the meetings were over, I was trying to get friends
• 26:49
  or family to sleep to feel accompanied. At times, I was not ashamed
• 26:56
  to admit that I was already afraid, that I did not feel at ease
• 27:00
  in my own home and did not know what to do or who to turn
• 27:04
  to. I really felt silly because nothing really happened. It was just my
• 27:12
  cat' s weird attitude and that feeling of fear or loneliness. Maybe it
• 27:17
  wasn' t a mistake to wait for something bigger to happen so I could
• 27:21
  convince myself that there was something, and so it happened. One of the
• 27:25
  nights I got home after work, I set out to prepare everything to go
• 27:29
  to sleep. It was such stress that even when I got tired, I
• 27:33
  would sleep away and try to listen to music or something to relax. As
• 27:38
  usual, my cat no longer slept with me. I kept the door locked
• 27:44
  because I knew I wasn' t going in until the other day. But
• 27:48
  this time, just before I fell asleep, I heard him scratching under the
• 27:52
  door trying to open it. I found it very strange, because he already
• 27:56
  had plenty of time not to do that. Then I got up and decided
• 28:02
  to open it. He ran in and got into bed. I thought it
• 28:06
  was a little strange, but not enough to give it so much importance.
• 28:10
  Then I lay down again and tried to sleep. A few hours later I
• 28:15
  woke up as usual and immediately felt that immobility and that cold sweat that causes
• 28:22
  you to sleep paralysis. I was lying face down and I don' t
• 28:26
  know if it was my nerves, fear or anything else, but I felt
• 28:30
  like I was short of breath. It was like someone was sitting on top
• 28:33
  of me stopping me from breathing. The only thing I could see was the
• 28:38
  curtain that covered my window at my feet was my cat lying. Seconds after
• 28:45
  all this, he got up quickly and sat on the corner of the bed.
• 28:49
  I couldn' t see it, but I felt those moves too fast
• 28:55
  as if I were hunting something. It was then that I felt more afraid,
• 29:00
  as it was as if I was warning that something was coming or something
• 29:03
  was moving. I tried with all my strength to move, but obviously I
• 29:07
  couldn' t, and that' s when something almost causes me a heart
• 29:14
  attack I usually have a ledge right in front of my bed and in it
• 29:18
  I have some objects and also photographs. I had the habit of leaving some
• 29:22
  things on her. Forget about removing them or just leaving them there and on
• 29:27
  that occasion, with paralysis, fear and my cat on alert, I heard
• 29:32
  a box of medicine fall to the ground. Now that I' m telling
• 29:37
  you, it seems like it' s a funny thing or even a very
• 29:41
  curious coincidence. But at the moment that sound seemed very big to me,
• 29:45
  as if something very heavy was involved. I think it was the silence of
• 29:48
  the night that made me hear it like this, I tried to close my
• 29:52
  eyes, stop looking at the window and calm down, but to my head
• 29:57
  came that room the or r or my uncle' s things. For a
• 30:02
  moment, within my fear, I thought something would come out of there and
• 30:06
  go straight to me. I was definitely very suggestive of all this happening and
• 30:12
  finally being able to move I started to cry. I couldn' t believe
• 30:17
  how scared I was and I was trying to find some relationship to everything that
• 30:21
  had happened. My cat kept looking at the door and, indeed, the
• 30:25
  medicine was on the floor. Of all the times I' d been paralyzed,
• 30:30
  something like that had never happened. I was just waking up I was
• 30:37
  afraid of them, and I went back to sleep. They were already very
• 30:40
  common, but something like this had never happened. I remember being called in
• 30:45
  the mornings to family or friends to distract me and not thinking that in the
• 30:51
  evenings everything would repeat itself, that I would still feel fear and that again
• 30:56
  the attitude of my cat would make me nervous. My routine was to wake
• 31:00
  up, bathe, breakfast, do something to distract me and later, when
• 31:06
  it was time to clean the house, find someone to call and talk to
• 31:10
  until I finished and go to work. It had been almost two months since
• 31:15
  my uncle left things and the only contact I had with him was to pay
• 31:19
  him for the rent. We didn' t used to talk too much.
• 31:25
  I only saw him when he was going to leave something. But on this
• 31:29
  occasion, one of those mornings when I didn' t find anyone to call,
• 31:33
  I decided to call him and ask him about some things he had in
• 31:37
  the room. He had always been a little closed when it came to talking
• 31:41
  about his things. He was highly judged in the family, as there was
• 31:45
  a bit of bad talk about him because of the accumulation of so much and
• 31:49
  he preferred to keep the reason why he bought all that. At first he
• 31:52
  always defended himself by saying that at some point he was going to use it
• 31:56
  or that he was going to give it to the nephews, but the reality
• 32:01
  is that they came and came more things to the house and hardly anything came
• 32:05
  out. I talked to him for a while about everything he bought last time.
• 32:10
  Perhaps it seemed a little strange to him that I asked him that,
• 32:15
  since, as I said, we hardly talked and he showed himself a bit
• 32:19
  sharp in answering me. Maybe he thought he was going to judge him,
• 32:22
  like everyone else, or he was going to claim him for a space issue.
• 32:27
  I don' t know. He just didn' t want to give
• 32:30
  me a lot of details, and it' s that I could explain to
• 32:36
  him that I was afraid of a few objects. He told me that the
• 32:37
  tool bought it to resell it, that the records would listen to them later
• 32:43
  and that the toys, as always were for nephews. He told me that
• 32:46
  he had bought everything for a tianguis near the house. I don' t
• 32:52
  know if all this fear, the so- called insomnia or paralysis had indicated
• 32:58
  to whatever was there that I was very vulnerable, but from this point on
• 33:01
  everything started to get worse the following days. When I woke up, I
• 33:09
  found myself with an open water key, with things that I had left the
• 33:14
  night before in a place and in the morning they changed places, with the
• 33:17
  control of the TV thrown to the floor or with a few doors ajar,
• 33:22
  when I was very sure that I had left them closed. It wasn'
• 33:25
  t just my suggestion anymore. Now it was something else, something that was
• 33:30
  already manifesting and I was getting more nervous every day. My cat even crawled
• 33:37
  under the couch, under the table or under my bed. It' s
• 33:40
  like I was trying to hide from something for a weekend where I didn'
• 33:47
  t find a pretext to leave home, as the day was rainy and,
• 33:51
  to be honest, I didn' t want to leave my cat. I
• 33:53
  was just watching TV in the living room. My cat, as it was
• 33:59
  already like an ore, was missing. I didn' t know where I
• 34:02
  was. That' s when the TV went out. I thought I had
• 34:06
  sat in control, but the control was on a little table next to the
• 34:10
  couch. I felt like a chill swept through my body, but I also
• 34:16
  thought it had been something caused by the rain. When you' re scared,
• 34:22
  look for a thousand ways to justify what' s going on. I
• 34:25
  tried to calm down and turned on the TV again. A while later I
• 34:30
  had already forgotten what had happened, but something happened again that put me on
• 34:36
  alert. When a novel tve is usually focused on the image, but you
• 34:42
  can see what happens to you around the left side of where I was standing
• 34:45
  was the kitchen and on the right was the bathroom. It was then that
• 34:51
  I clearly felt something had happened in the kitchen. In fact, not quickly,
• 34:54
  but a little slower, as if I wanted to see it. But
• 35:00
  I didn' t want to turn even though I was sure there was something
• 35:05
  there and my breathing was already increasing, my heart beating faster and faster.
• 35:10
  I didn' t mean to turn around. I tried to think quickly that
• 35:14
  it was the reflection of something. Like I said. We' re looking
• 35:17
  for the explanation for the paranormal. I had never been as believing as at
• 35:21
  that time. I think I' ve remembered a couple of prayers and asked
• 35:27
  for divine help, although perhaps I don' t know if I believed in
• 35:29
  that. At that moment, between the living room and the kitchen there is
• 35:32
  a hallway leading to the rooms. In the background are my room and the
• 35:37
  room, where the objects were kept. Suddenly, within all that fear,
• 35:42
  I seem to hear something fall into one of the two rooms. They were
• 35:47
  very quick moments, but for me it was an eternity. The truth is,
• 35:52
  I wish I' d run out of there, but I decided to
• 35:55
  face it. I wanted to find out if that was real. I got
• 35:59
  up more out of curiosity about that sound than really, by wanting to do
• 36:05
  it, it was time to be strong and see if this could do anything
• 36:07
  else. I went into the room and saw that everything was chaos. As
• 36:12
  always, all thrown out uncomfortably. It was impossible to realize what had fallen.
• 36:19
  But among all things, I was curious to notice the toys, that
• 36:22
  toy box that the guy had brought and it seemed that everything was in order,
• 36:28
  dolls, carts, figures and, to my enormous surprise, one was
• 36:34
  missing that highlighted from the rest. That little rag clown with his hands and
• 36:39
  porcelain head. He wasn' t there among all those toys. I tried
• 36:45
  to remember to realize if I had taken him out of his place, but
• 36:50
  I didn' t. According to me, the last time I went in
• 36:52
  there, I had seen the doll on the box. I was so afraid
• 36:57
  to think for a moment that the ra problem was that doll. I couldn
• 37:00
  ' t believe I wasn' t there. I felt very vulnerable, scared
• 37:06
  and for a moment I began to think about who belonged to this doll.
• 37:10
  My head went around a lot at the time. I could only think of
• 37:15
  all the things that surrounded me there that so many people belonged to, what
• 37:21
  was the story of each of them, that they hid so much that they
• 37:25
  made their former owners with that for them to use. And yes, there
• 37:30
  were more dolls, there were more figures, even bigger ones, but perhaps
• 37:36
  none as disturbing and mysterious as that now that I find myself. As for
• 37:40
  all this, I think we have all at some point felt uncomfortable about some
• 37:45
  doll or doll, something that we feel is watching us following us with our
• 37:50
  eyes, something that perhaps has never done anything or moved, but for us
• 37:54
  it is very frightening. Well then either at that time or or I felt
• 38:00
  that I had found the answer to all my fear, that maybe the doll
• 38:04
  had no life maybe it wasn' t even afraid of his appearance, but
• 38:08
  somehow I kept something for something had been used or had belonged to someone who
• 38:15
  had done something very bad. I don' t know. I had gone
• 38:19
  away for a few seconds overwhelmed by fear, by questioning, by all that
• 38:23
  was going on in my mind. But when you come back and feel that
• 38:28
  smell locked up, listening to the sound of rain outside. It was as
• 38:31
  if something was approaching my feet, as when you felt a presence some danger
• 38:37
  near you I immediately looked down and there was the doll pulled a few inches
• 38:44
  from me. All I could do was run away, but I was wondering
• 38:49
  where I' m going here alive. I can' t get out,
• 38:52
  I have nowhere to go. It' s like that thing that was there
• 38:55
  that presence or that being took me to the room and judoed me like he
• 39:01
  was making fun of me. After running out and closing the door, all
• 39:07
  I could do was cry and ask him, please, to leave my life,
• 39:10
  that I was already too alone, too scared and sometimes I felt too
• 39:15
  defeated, that maybe it wasn' t me that I was looking for and
• 39:20
  that I had nowhere to go I could just walk into my room, close
• 39:24
  the door and try to sleep for a while forgetting everything. The next day
• 39:31
  I tried to call my uncle I wanted to talk to him about all this,
• 39:37
  but I knew that, because of his beliefs and his ideas, it
• 39:39
  would be difficult to change his mind. I talked to him for a while,
• 39:45
  trying to explain everything that' s happened and trying to convince him to
• 39:49
  sell all those things, that it wasn' t good to have him there
• 39:53
  because he didn' t know what he was accumulating. I told him that
• 39:55
  even I would help sell it online and that I wouldn' t tell him
• 40:00
  anything. In return, I only wanted to live in peace with the peace
• 40:05
  of old. Unfortunately, it' s very difficult to make someone understand who
• 40:09
  hasn' t been through something like that. He was no exception and gave
• 40:13
  me a resounding no. He told me that if I didn' t feel
• 40:16
  comfortable living there, I could leave whenever I wanted, but that I wasn
• 40:21
  ' t going to let go of all that he kept there. It was
• 40:23
  when I understood that perhaps his lonely life, the losses he had already had
• 40:29
  some other things, were what had led him to have all that there.
• 40:32
  Maybe he wanted to be part of other stories. That same day I devoted
• 40:37
  myself to finding another place to live I was no longer willing to spend one
• 40:43
  more night there. So list my things, my cat' s things,
• 40:46
  and I found the right place to stay. The move was simple, which
• 40:51
  can so much have a person who lives with a data. When I got
• 40:55
  to the other house, I felt a huge peace as if all that was
• 41:00
  gone. I found myself living with objects that who knows who they were from
• 41:04
  or where they came from. The first night I spent in my new home
• 41:07
  was a pretty quiet night, but days later I would feel a little fear
• 41:14
  again and I didn' t know why sleep paralysis continued. Now there was
• 41:17
  no reason to be like this anymore. My cat was back with me,
• 41:22
  sleeping with me at night and yet I would still experience shadows and even at
• 41:28
  some moments I seemed to hear voices. I thought I' d gone crazy
• 41:35
  already, as there was no way I could still feel that way. This
• 41:38
  time I no longer knew what to do. I started taking medicine, started
• 41:43
  taking things to sleep and had even neglected my work a little. She was
• 41:49
  definitely not the same person as before. In those days my cat became ill
• 41:53
  once again of so many, but this time I had taken him to the
• 41:59
  vet, we had given him medication and yet it seemed not to evolve.
• 42:04
  He seemed to feel worse and worse, he was a little more fond of
• 42:08
  me, but it seems like he just went to say goodbye. Unfortunately,
• 42:14
  I had to say goodbye to him and the companion who had been at the
• 42:19
  most dreadful moment. For me it had gone out into shadows, drawers,
• 42:23
  open, things thrown out and even steps. I couldn' t be able
• 42:28
  to save him from all that and I think he was the one who resented
• 42:31
  everything. Now I' m calmer. I' ve learned to live a
• 42:37
  little with all this. It' s been a year since my cat left,
• 42:39
  I' ve approached God, I' ve gone to therapy and this
• 42:45
  seems to be getting better every time. Now I have a partner and sometimes,
• 42:49
  when I tell all this, I know that there will be those who
• 42:53
  don' t believe me, but I' m just telling them that we
• 42:58
  have to learn to let go of other people' s stories. About fifteen
• 43:07
  years ago, I decided to buy my first car. Therefore, I saved
• 43:10
  for a few months what I was given money to go to college. I
• 43:16
  always liked classic cars and especially American brands, because they made me quite powerful.
• 43:24
  Besides, there were always these cars in my family. So, I
• 43:29
  decided to buy one of them. When I had a considerable amount of money.
• 43:35
  I started looking in the local newspapers and in the streets of the colony
• 43:38
  where there were abandoned cars. My illusion was to fix it from scratch,
• 43:45
  because in my family old cars were always arranged and this time it would be
• 43:50
  no exception. I spent time searching with my brother for a few weeks,
• 43:54
  until in one of the streets I saw in the distance a pretty burnt red
• 43:59
  car from the paint and worn out interiors. It was a Ford mast in
• 44:04
  which in the back glass had the sign of sale excited. I went to
• 44:09
  play in one of the houses behind the car and ask for information. I
• 44:15
  ran lucky that' s where the owner lived. The moment they opened the
• 44:20
  door, a middle- aged gentleman came out and confirmed to me that the
• 44:24
  car was indeed for sale. Also, at the moment it caused me some
• 44:30
  nostalgia because in my house there had already been four cars like this of different
• 44:35
  years, but of the same design and model. The man said that the
• 44:38
  car was working properly and invited me, without thinking too much about it.
• 44:45
  However, I knew that I did not carry the full money, as I
• 44:49
  had saved only half of what he asked for. Actually, at the end
• 44:52
  of the turn, we went back to his house and told him that he
• 44:55
  didn' t have the full money. Then my brother intervened and asked the
• 45:01
  owner to give me the opportunity to pay him, as I was still studying
• 45:07
  and only had the money my parents gave me for school. The gentleman was
• 45:13
  thoughtful for about thirty endless seconds, after which he felt with his head accepting
• 45:20
  the proposal, so we set the monthly fee to liquidate the car. It
• 45:25
  was a great day for me. I had bought my first car and it
• 45:30
  wasn' t any car I had a mustan overflowing with happiness. When I
• 45:35
  arrived with him at my house, I set out to clean up and throw
• 45:38
  everything inside into the water supply. The circulation card was stored and I took
• 45:44
  it to check it out. That' s when I noticed that on one
• 45:47
  side of this was a rare stain that was already quite stuck. I didn
• 45:52
  ' t pay much attention, because I thought it was some kind of glue
• 45:57
  or substance that at the time had hardened in that piece and the next day,
• 46:00
  in the morning, I went down immediately to see my car I opened
• 46:06
  it I tore up the engine and left it on for a moment to enjoy
• 46:09
  its powerful sound. At the time, the radio went off, but I
• 46:14
  thought it was normal for this to happen, because I thought that one of
• 46:19
  the owners connected that radio directly to the switch on and when turning the key
• 46:23
  to turn on the car, the radio also did. I turned off the
• 46:27
  car, but the radio didn' t turn off. Then I placed the
• 46:30
  switch off to deactivate it. There was no success. Despite trying a few
• 46:35
  minutes with the purpose of finding a solution, I opened the chest and disconnected
• 46:40
  the battery, I approached the interior of the car again, but the radio
• 46:45
  was still on, challenging any logical thinking. After a moment and determined to
• 46:52
  go for some clamps to cut the wires that connected the radio to the current
• 46:55
  cable, it just went out. Without getting out of my astonishment, I
• 47:02
  ran to the place where I kept the tool, took some clamps and cut
• 47:07
  the current wire that connected the stereo. My enthusiasm for the car did not
• 47:13
  diminish and gradually I was making certain improvements in line with my possibilities. Sometimes,
• 47:20
  when I arrived from school, I observed from afar that in the place
• 47:23
  where my car was parked and inside it there was a shadow as if someone
• 47:29
  was sitting in the co- pilot' s seat. However, I believed
• 47:34
  that it was the headboards that the seats had and that, from afar,
• 47:37
  they gave the illusion of being the head of someone sitting. So, it
• 47:43
  was a couple of months before I could make the payments I owed so I
• 47:46
  could move inside my city. Already with the papers in order, I decided
• 47:52
  to go out for the first time to visit my friends to be able to
• 47:55
  boast them. I came to a friend' s house where we met several.
• 48:00
  When I approached my friends were already out of the house gathered they turned
• 48:04
  to see the car and when I got close, they greeted me with surprise,
• 48:09
  because I had never had a car of my own before. I went
• 48:14
  down and greeted the group, but one of them asked me who was coming
• 48:17
  with me, because he told me that when I was still away from them,
• 48:22
  he saw someone accompanying me. I replied that I was coming alone,
• 48:28
  because I wanted to show them what I had bought. However, the question
• 48:30
  kept me restless throughout the evening and from time to time I looked towards the
• 48:35
  car hoping not to find that silhouette anymore. We started playing and they spent
• 48:40
  the hours pretty fast. When I saw on my watch that it was eight
• 48:45
  o' clock at night, I decided to say goodbye to them because I
• 48:51
  didn' t know if the lights worked properly and I didn' t want
• 48:52
  to risk it. I got in my car fast. I turned on the
• 48:55
  lights and these turned on. I advanced about 100 meters and felt that the
• 49:01
  car wanted to shut down immediately. I thought he was running out of gas
• 49:07
  and that the scoreboard on this one didn' t work. Within a few
• 49:08
  meters the car went out, I turned on the key and I could turn
• 49:13
  it back on with a rather unpleasant surprise, because at the time I turned
• 49:19
  on the lights, the radio turned on immediately again. I stood up and
• 49:23
  got out of the car, because I didn' t know how it happened.
• 49:27
  Because I had cut off the stereo current cable, I stayed on the
• 49:30
  street for a moment thinking that was what had happened, but I remembered that
• 49:36
  it was getting later and my parents would scold me for not arriving at the
• 49:40
  time I had been set. I got a little suspicious into the car and
• 49:45
  the moment I entered it with the corner of my eye, I noticed that
• 49:49
  in the copilot' s seat there was someone I turned my face to see
• 49:53
  the occupant well. My surprise was pretty big. When I discovered that the
• 49:58
  place was empty, I turned on the car again, but this time the
• 50:02
  radio didn' t turn on. I drove home a little baffled. I
• 50:07
  thought it was a game of my mind to have seen someone sitting and also
• 50:12
  to have heard the radio on. I came to my house and parked my
• 50:16
  car outside reflecting. As I was heading to the entrance that night I didn
• 50:22
  ' t sleep what happened throughout the day. It had been too intense.
• 50:28
  On another occasion, in the early morning, I began to hear someone playing
• 50:31
  the claxson outside my house. After about ten minutes of continually listening to the
• 50:37
  noise, I decided to go down to the street to face the inopportune and
• 50:42
  ask him to shut up. Since I was not allowed to sleep I opened
• 50:45
  the street door and noticed that the lights in my car were on and the
• 50:50
  claxson sounded intermittently. I ran through the keys, thinking that the battery was
• 50:55
  shorting out with the chest, causing the mishap, quickly opening the hood and
• 51:00
  realizing that the battery was disconnected, as it was what I used to do
• 51:05
  so it wouldn' t be downloaded. My surprise was that while I was
• 51:09
  looking for the malfunction, the lights went out and the claxson stopped sounding like
• 51:15
  magic. I immediately closed the car, removed the keys and ran into my
• 51:21
  house, as this was clearly no longer normal. It could not be possible
• 51:25
  for the radio to be switched on when it was already disconnected. In addition,
• 51:30
  the lights and the claxson will be activated without the battery connected. This
• 51:35
  series of events kept my mind working all night and gave me insomnia getting to
• 51:40
  sleep almost at dawn. As I woke up and downplayed what happened, I
• 51:49
  hurried out into the street. I connected the car battery, turned it on,
• 51:52
  and I set out to check that all levels were correct. I proceeded
• 51:58
  to lower the chest and by making or I clearly observed the figure of a
• 52:02
  male person sitting in the co- pilot' s seat. I was very
• 52:07
  excited, because I thought that person had stayed inside the car to sleep or
• 52:12
  wanted to steal it. I took one of the tubes with which he held
• 52:16
  the chest so it wouldn' t close and went to confront him. As
• 52:20
  I looked out the driver' s side, I saw that the copilot'
• 52:24
  s seat was empty and in a quick inspection I noticed that no one was
• 52:30
  inside the car. A cold sweat filled my body. It was not humanly
• 52:35
  possible that the invader could flee without me noticing it. That same day I
• 52:39
  no longer used my car and decided to stay home. My mom watched me
• 52:44
  a little nervous and asked me if everything was okay. I told her that
• 52:47
  I sort of told her what had happened. My mom, with an expression
• 52:52
  of confusion, told me maybe you' re telling me that no one'
• 52:58
  s coming with you in the car. Every time you walk away from the
• 53:00
  house and I go out to watch you. I see someone sitting next to
• 53:05
  you I told him it wasn' t possible, because there was no one
• 53:09
  who could get in my car. That left me thinking all afternoon about what
• 53:13
  was going on. It wasn' t just me who saw someone in the
• 53:16
  car, also my friends, who I might think was a joke of bad
• 53:22
  taste and my mother, who got very worried after our talk. Since nothing
• 53:28
  like this had ever happened to me before, I didn' t know what
• 53:31
  to do. So I turned to my mom and asked her what I could
• 53:35
  do in this case that I was already nervous to just think about having to
• 53:39
  use the car and see someone sitting next to me again or hearing the radio
• 53:44
  turn on. My mom suggested I sell it because since she got home,
• 53:49
  she wasn' t calm. Maybe it wasn' t the solution I was
• 53:53
  expecting. I didn' t want to get rid of the car that had
• 53:58
  cost me so much effort, so I said it was probably because I was
• 54:02
  old, but little by little I was going to fix it, and it
• 54:05
  was going to look like new. A few days passed and I never experienced
• 54:08
  anything unusual again. Little by little I took more confidence and drove the car
• 54:14
  more often one day at the meetings of my friends that we give to go
• 54:17
  to visit a place a little far from where we lived to be able to
• 54:22
  do a picnic, and we decided to take my car, because I was
• 54:25
  the only one that had at that time. They were excited and for the
• 54:29
  first time they would go away in the car of one of their friends,
• 54:34
  prepared everything and decided to go to the car. He had only five occupants,
• 54:38
  three behind, one in front and the driver, who in this case
• 54:43
  was me, but we were six friends. Then one decided to go a
• 54:46
  little tight in the back seat. We were singing and telling anecdotes, some
• 54:52
  funny stories that had happened to us together and some loving experiences that we had
• 54:58
  had with our partners. When, all of a sudden and halfway through,
• 55:00
  the car went out and, as much as we tried to turn it back
• 55:05
  on, we didn' t make it, even though three of us knew
• 55:08
  about mechanics. So I had to talk to my brother to tow me back
• 55:13
  in his truck to my house and our picnic was completely ruined. We waited
• 55:21
  there until my brother arrived about three hours. When he arrived, we tied
• 55:25
  the car from the front to the back of the truck so we could drag
• 55:30
  him. I went driving the car, because I had to run it so
• 55:36
  that it didn' t go from one side to the other and also to
• 55:39
  be able to stop it in case my brother also stopped in the truck.
• 55:43
  Almost at the entrance to the colony where I live, the car out of
• 55:45
  nowhere came back on. It was inexplicable because the car switch was in a
• 55:52
  position where the car can' t start. But if I left the steering
• 55:57
  wheel unlocked so I could move it around, I looked out the window and
• 56:01
  yelled at my brother to stop, because the car had already started. My
• 56:06
  brother stopped, saw that the car was working again and removed the rope with
• 56:10
  which he was towing it. When I got home, I tried to turn
• 56:15
  the car off so I could get down and I didn' t make it.
• 56:19
  At that point I thought the switch was the one that had broken down
• 56:22
  and I reopened the chest and disconnected the battery, but it didn' t
• 56:27
  work. The car was still on. I waited a few minutes because I
• 56:30
  knew that the alternator caused the car not to shut down while the energy it
• 56:37
  had stored was running out. However, about ten minutes passed and the car
• 56:40
  didn' t go out. We disconnected fuses and several cables that went directly
• 56:46
  to the engine, but the engine was still running. For that moment.
• 56:52
  My friends were quite upset and shouted that this car was possessed or haunted,
• 56:58
  as it could not be possible that with what we had kept on. A
• 57:02
  few seconds later, the car went out without anyone else doing anything else.
• 57:07
  It was then that I began to believe that the car was truly possessed.
• 57:12
  Since nothing happened had a reasonable explanation, I decided to sell it and for
• 57:19
  this I wanted to give it a deep cleansing, with the intention that the
• 57:22
  first person to come to see it would take it immediately, because I was
• 57:28
  not going to wait for more supernatural things to happen to me or that little
• 57:31
  by little they would be more serious. When I lifted the carpet from the
• 57:34
  front right where the co- pilot puts his feet, I saw a dark
• 57:39
  stain on the stuffing between the sheet of the floor and the carpet. I
• 57:44
  found it strange that there was a stain there and I thought it was oil.
• 57:47
  However, the consistency of this stain was dry and hard. I came
• 57:52
  a little closer to observe the stain well and realized that it was blood of
• 57:57
  a long time back again how to give the carpet quite restless by the discovery
• 58:01
  and I began to think that it had happened so that there was blood there.
• 58:07
  I instantly remembered that on the side of the circulation card, right in
• 58:12
  the watertight, there was a stain similar to the one on the floor I
• 58:15
  quickly opened the watertight I watched with great attention and realized that it was also
• 58:21
  blood quickly I wet a rag and managed to remove it not without several minutes
• 58:27
  of hard work. Fortunately, the stain under the carpet was not visible.
• 58:34
  Therefore, I put the weight sign on him and that same day, in
• 58:37
  the afternoon, he rang the doorbell of my house to a man who asked
• 58:42
  as soon as he was selling my car. I gave him a fairly reasonable
• 58:45
  price and immediately the gentleman closed the deal with the corresponding paperwork I gave him
• 58:52
  the keys and took the car. I no longer wanted to know about the
• 58:57
  Mustan, although I knew the Lord and knew that it was a beo chance.
• 59:01
  He wanted one day, when he went out to sweep the street,
• 59:06
  to take me to the new owner. He walked by with a clawball and
• 59:08
  I asked him what was going on and he told me that the car had
• 59:13
  turned off. Apparently he ran out of gas. I, with the feeling
• 59:17
  of guilt, told him what I had seen under the carpet and in the
• 59:22
  watertight. He told me not to worry, that he knew it was an
• 59:25
  old car and probably inside it some animal had died and left the blood mark
• 59:30
  on both sides. That left me a little quieter and I didn' t
• 59:36
  say anything anymore. The man retired and it was the last time I saw
• 59:40
  him. I had almost forgotten about the bad experience with Mustan. When weeks
• 59:45
  or months after the meeting with the lord I saw his wife rather sad and
• 59:51
  emaciated, I asked her if she was okay and she told me that her
• 59:55
  husband had had ten days ago a fatal accident in the car that I sold
• 1:00:00
  to him that, according to the experts had commented that someone came with him
• 1:00:05
  and made him lose control. However, they never found the second person they
• 1:00:08
  believed was traveling with. I kept silent out of respect for his pain and
• 1:00:14
  in memory of that unfortunate man, but I could not help but bring to
• 1:00:20
  my memory all the nightmare that was that car and I thanked the universe not
• 1:00:24
  having been the one to lose life among its irons. When I worked in
• 1:00:32
  the clean- up area of the American transcontinental cruise, I didn' t
• 1:00:38
  think I would have an experience that would bring me so close to death and
• 1:00:42
  the unknown. At the same time I am not afraid to die, for
• 1:00:45
  every day that passes we get a little closer to that day, the day
• 1:00:49
  when our minds turn off and face the hereafter. However, this fact does
• 1:00:54
  not frighten me, but intrigues me. I think I' m not afraid
• 1:00:59
  of death, to know, that it' s something natural and that it
• 1:01:01
  ' s the end of something to everything and to all of us it happens
• 1:01:06
  to what, if I fear it, is those apparent mistakes or things,
• 1:01:12
  events or unexplained situations that make you think that something escaped the world of the
• 1:01:16
  dead, of an unknown, impalpable and invisible dimension to the human eye.
• 1:01:21
  I' m afraid you' ll see a spectrum and not know why you
• 1:01:24
  ' re here, because there must be a reason. I do not believe
• 1:01:28
  that everything is simply the work of chance that surrounds the world that we understand
• 1:01:32
  and that we cannot and should not understand. A spectrum is something that can
• 1:01:37
  make you questions, your mental health, your way of looking at things,
• 1:01:42
  your perception and your beliefs. Mine changed since the cruise became a shipwreck with
• 1:01:46
  more than four thousand souls on board, leaving two hundred and forty- four
• 1:01:51
  dead and hundreds injured. But what caused the sinking of this great ship and
• 1:01:58
  why I think it relates to the paranormal, because let me tell you my
• 1:02:04
  experience aboard this ship, which I thought for moments would become my grave.
• 1:02:10
  The American Transcontinental left two thousand and twelve on July 2nd from a Mexican Atlantic
• 1:02:15
  coast. He was heading for Europe, on a two- week journey.
• 1:02:22
  The boat was a luxury vacation cruiser. The ship' s customers were middle
• 1:02:27
  - class, high- class or high- class people, people of large
• 1:02:31
  purchasing power, as they could afford a vacation like the Transcontinental. A four
• 1:02:37
  - story boat with all the comforts of a mobile hotel, even something that
• 1:02:42
  for a long time seemed absurd to me. A pool pools inside ships is
• 1:02:47
  something I' ve never finished understanding. But, well, the issue is
• 1:02:52
  not this, but what happened from the third day of travel. I had
• 1:02:58
  worked on another cruiser of the company as cleaning staff, but because of constant
• 1:03:02
  resignation problems, I was changed from unit and assigned to the boat already mentioned.
• 1:03:09
  My job was basically that of a person in charge of cleaning and conditioning
• 1:03:15
  the guest rooms, corridors, dining rooms and areas of general interest. On
• 1:03:22
  the third day of the trip, I noticed the presence of a person who
• 1:03:25
  seemed too unusual to me. He was someone who untangled in every way with
• 1:03:30
  the place and the moment where and when he came to observe it. He
• 1:03:35
  was a man dressed in a grey suit, wearing a vest, white shirt,
• 1:03:39
  pants and a bristol- style hat. I immediately wondered when I saw
• 1:03:45
  him in the distance, what would have been the reason why the man decided
• 1:03:50
  to go out wearing those clothes in a place where it was hot and all
• 1:03:54
  the people, including the staff, were wearing comfortable clothes that fit the high
• 1:03:59
  temperatures of the place of s and the weather. Anyway, it seemed strange
• 1:04:01
  to me, but it was obvious that the man' s clothing didn'
• 1:04:06
  t cause anyone any trouble. I didn' t have to, so I
• 1:04:11
  just ignored it in the afternoon, when the sun was falling, I saw
• 1:04:15
  the man in the suit again. This time I got to visualize it a
• 1:04:19
  little closer. He was at a table right off the pool, turning his
• 1:04:25
  back on me, his hat was on his head, there was a coat
• 1:04:29
  at the rest of his chair and he was completely alone. I approached him
• 1:04:32
  slowly to talk to him and tell him that I had drawn attention to his
• 1:04:38
  elegant way of dressing, which was different from that of anyone else in the
• 1:04:42
  place. When I was close enough to him, about two or maybe three
• 1:04:46
  meters away, the man disappeared. It faded into the air in a matter
• 1:04:53
  of seconds, as if it had been made of smoke and its body had
• 1:04:57
  melted with the air around it. I was paralyzed. I didn' t
• 1:05:02
  know what to do. I didn' t know if what I had just
• 1:05:04
  seen at the time was something real or a product of my imagination, of
• 1:05:10
  my tiredness, of the heat of the sea, or I don' t
• 1:05:15
  know, something I had simply imagined or seen wrong. I was afraid to
• 1:05:16
  see him there as calm as part of the crew' s ship, as
• 1:05:23
  if he were an ordinary person only dressed in a different way and seconds later
• 1:05:29
  nothing faded, a disappearance, an act of perfect escapism or was that he
• 1:05:34
  had just seen a ghost. Or maybe I was going crazy and now I
• 1:05:41
  see things where there aren' t. I didn' t know at that
• 1:05:45
  very moment and I had a hard time getting out of my astonishment, but
• 1:05:49
  minutes later I continued my work. Then I went to rest. The next
• 1:05:54
  day I asked my colleagues that if they had managed to see a person dressed
• 1:05:58
  in a gray suit, someone who totally untied with the profile of any of
• 1:06:02
  the travelers, no one knew anything to tell me, even some believed that
• 1:06:10
  he was playing or trying to make them a kind of joke. Anyway,
• 1:06:12
  I gave up my efforts to find out if anyone else had seen the same
• 1:06:17
  thing as me because it seemed useless. That same night I saw a man
• 1:06:21
  in the gray suit again. This time I managed to distinguish him walking through
• 1:06:27
  one of the main corridors of the guest rooms. He was walking about 15
• 1:06:31
  meters from me, in the same direction as where I was going, turning
• 1:06:35
  his back on me. For the third time I yelled at him and tried
• 1:06:40
  to get his attention more. I didn' t make it. When he
• 1:06:43
  turned in one of the corners connecting to another corridor, I lost sight of
• 1:06:46
  him. I ran to see where he had gone, but there was no
• 1:06:50
  trace of him. He just disappeared. It was again something almost instantaneous.
• 1:06:57
  I began to wonder why this guy appeared only when I could see him,
• 1:07:01
  as no one else on the crew seemed to notice his presence. He also
• 1:07:06
  questioned me what it would look like in front of him, what his face
• 1:07:12
  would look like, because he only saw behind his back. I could not
• 1:07:13
  see any faction in detail or detail. He was a thin, tall man
• 1:07:19
  but I didn' t know that another physical trait characterized him. It was
• 1:07:24
  driving me crazy to see him disappear suddenly and not only to see him vanish
• 1:07:30
  into the air in front of me like a cluster of smoke that suddenly begins
• 1:07:34
  to disperse. It was too much for my head and I could only wait
• 1:07:40
  not to find it again. But other than that, I couldn' t
• 1:07:43
  do anything to avoid it. The next day, my body was weird,
• 1:07:47
  I felt a little sick, but I didn' t have any symptoms.
• 1:07:51
  My muscles hurt like after exercise. I didn' t know what that discomfort
• 1:07:57
  was about and I refused to think it had anything to do with the constant
• 1:08:00
  appearance of the grey suit man, even though I wished to forget my encounters
• 1:08:04
  with him. The effect on me was contrary. He remembered it even more
• 1:08:11
  vividly when he saw any small crowd of people trying to track him down or
• 1:08:16
  make sure his silhouette wasn' t among them. When I didn' t
• 1:08:19
  see it, there was a relief in me and I could go on with
• 1:08:24
  what I was doing, but somehow I knew that relief wouldn' t last
• 1:08:27
  long. It' s like I' ve been waiting all day for the
• 1:08:31
  night to fall and find him again hanging around at this point, I was
• 1:08:38
  convinced that I was seeing a ghost an entity that seemed to roam the ship
• 1:08:42
  aimlessly, but I kept wondering myself why he was there among us. On
• 1:08:48
  that ship the night fell and, as it could not be otherwise, I
• 1:08:55
  saw him again. It was in the back of the cleaning room where the
• 1:08:59
  industrial washing machines come in to make linen sheets. Thus, any kind of
• 1:09:03
  garment walked slowly among the machines, but it did not seem to conceal its
• 1:09:10
  passage or to want to hide its presence there in a place where it supposedly
• 1:09:15
  should not be. It was a totally detached presence. It shouldn' t
• 1:09:18
  be there in its place and in its context. The simple fact of seeing
• 1:09:23
  him go around was disturbing. To that he added that days ago he had
• 1:09:27
  seen him disappear suddenly and the night before he vanished around the corner of a
• 1:09:32
  corridor that for the day was crowded. It was too strange everything involved in
• 1:09:39
  that strange presence. Although fear invaded my body, I began to walk behind
• 1:09:45
  it, as my curiosity entangled me and made me not think exactly what I
• 1:09:49
  was trying to find out. Maybe I just wanted to see him slip out
• 1:09:55
  of nowhere again. Maybe I wanted to confirm the suspicions I' ve had
• 1:10:00
  about not being crazy and seeing something that' s invisible to everyone else,
• 1:10:04
  at least on that boat. I followed him until he doubled back into a
• 1:10:09
  corner, which led to a ship' s maintenance room. I thought when
• 1:10:15
  I was in front of the door of this new room. The man would
• 1:10:17
  have disappeared by now, but, to my surprise, he was still there.
• 1:10:23
  He was just standing, he seemed to be waiting for me, but
• 1:10:28
  I kept at my distance, one that I considered prudent, for curiosity in
• 1:10:33
  me was strong, but it was more the fact of being in front of
• 1:10:39
  something unknown, unusual, something that disobeys the natural and physical laws that we
• 1:10:43
  know as human beings. My intrigue did not cloud my judgment and kept me
• 1:10:45
  attentive, but cautious. I didn' t know what I would do if
• 1:10:50
  that man suddenly spoke to me or turned to me, so I tried to
• 1:10:55
  make sure that the distance between this apparition and me was never minimal. The
• 1:11:00
  following impressed me. The apparition took the handle of the door facing towards the
• 1:11:03
  maintenance room, turned it and opened the access. I was interacting with the
• 1:11:10
  real world, with the world I know, that seemingly ghostly and unpredictable being.
• 1:11:15
  He was able to take a handle and open a door. How could
• 1:11:19
  that be? I didn' t know and I didn' t have a
• 1:11:25
  way to find out either. My biggest hope of getting answers was by following
• 1:11:28
  him and seeing where he was headed. All this time, the man in
• 1:11:32
  the gray suit was always on his back. Me. He still didn'
• 1:11:36
  t know what his face looked like, his factions. Some characteristic of what
• 1:11:41
  it looked like in front of it. He only saw his back, his
• 1:11:45
  feet, his head from behind, his hat always on top of him,
• 1:11:49
  and it always seemed too real to me It was just like an ordinary person
• 1:11:57
  trying to reach him. It looks like I' d be able to touch
• 1:12:00
  it if I was, but I didn' t want to take that risk.
• 1:12:02
  I followed him to the maintenance room. I was just as surprised as
• 1:12:06
  scared. This was the time I had seen him the longest. This time
• 1:12:12
  their appearance was not fleeting, sporadic or sudden. I' d even say
• 1:12:17
  it wasn' t random. He seemed to be waiting for me. I
• 1:12:20
  started to get a feeling he wanted to show me something. We reached a
• 1:12:26
  boiler that connected the water heating systems of the boat. It was surrounded by
• 1:12:31
  tubes and machinery that anyone who doesn' t know how to operate can'
• 1:12:36
  t even distinguish a precise form. The man stopped right next to the main
• 1:12:40
  boiler. I behind him, about seven meters from his body, also stopped
• 1:12:45
  everything there was at that time. It was the noise of the machines in
• 1:12:49
  the room, the sound of my heart, beating my chest with apparent intention
• 1:12:54
  of wanting to get fired, and the man in the gray suit in front
• 1:12:59
  of me, giving me his still inert back in front of that big boiler.
• 1:13:03
  I don' t know what I expected him to disappear or talk to
• 1:13:06
  me. We just stayed there for a few seconds until he slowly and slowly
• 1:13:14
  began to turn around. He was turning his whole body towards me and the
• 1:13:18
  intrigue of seeing his face or communicating something to me was too much. I
• 1:13:23
  felt my heart go up to my throat my head my nerves. I had
• 1:13:28
  the feeling that my brain suddenly didn' t fit into my skull. The
• 1:13:32
  entity completely turned around. However, I would have preferred this one never to
• 1:13:39
  have done so. His face had no skin. His eyeballs stood out over
• 1:13:45
  the basins of his skull. The bright red of the blood on his muscles
• 1:13:48
  gave a creepy glow to his countenance, his teeth, his gums, everything
• 1:13:54
  was visible. It seemed like they had torn the leather out of it as
• 1:13:59
  if it had fought a bear or a lion that had torn it to pieces.
• 1:14:04
  His vest on the front, was soaked in blood like an explosion of
• 1:14:09
  paint that was detonated right in his chest, which dripping had reached his legs.
• 1:14:15
  Suddenly he raised his right hand and pointed the tip of his index finger
• 1:14:19
  at my side. I was pointing directly at the main boiler, which I
• 1:14:27
  didn' t even notice. When he started making a deafening squeal, the
• 1:14:30
  boiler exploded and almost burned me. The fire came out in every direction of
• 1:14:35
  the room and I ran away from there. Before I left where I came
• 1:14:41
  from. I took one last look at the burning room. The man in
• 1:14:45
  the gray suit was nowhere else. It had disappeared, I think, at
• 1:14:50
  some point in the intense explosion. After this I ran out of there to
• 1:14:55
  give notice about the accident. The technical staff at the bar ran in all
• 1:15:00
  directions. People were alarmed, for the noise had been enormous. There were
• 1:15:06
  auxiliary personnel trying to keep order and keep the crowds from panicking, but the
• 1:15:11
  alarm sounded by the loudspeakers all over the ship did not help. The fire
• 1:15:17
  began to spread over everything. The maintenance sublevel was an uncontrollable fire. The
• 1:15:23
  technical staff could only delay the passage of the huge flares coming from the inside
• 1:15:29
  of the boat. Minutes later there was another strong burst and that was the
• 1:15:35
  time when the end began. The integrity of the ship' s inner hull
• 1:15:41
  was compromised. Some say it was a matter of poor maintenance. Others mention
• 1:15:45
  that the boat' s equipment was too old. The truth is, the
• 1:15:48
  accident was a long shot. Ships don' t explode like this one did.
• 1:15:56
  Not like this, not so suddenly and could not have foreseen. They
• 1:16:00
  started getting people into the lifeboats, as the boat was going to crash in
• 1:16:04
  a matter of minutes. But shortly after the second explosion there was a third
• 1:16:10
  one that took away the short time we had to evict the ship. This
• 1:16:15
  was at a high level of the ship, which ended with the lack of
• 1:16:17
  stability that it still retained and reduced the margin of escape from minutes to simple,
• 1:16:25
  short and insufficient. Seconds in the middle of chaos, I saw that
• 1:16:30
  figure again, that man. He walked back to me again, people ran
• 1:16:34
  around him and didn' t notice his presence. It was like a stone
• 1:16:40
  in a river. But then I realized that people did not surround him,
• 1:16:43
  but simply and inexplicably passed through him, as if he were made of smoke.
• 1:16:49
  The ship began to sink and there were hundreds of people who failed to
• 1:16:55
  climb one of the lifeboats, me among them. What to hold on to
• 1:17:00
  a large piece of wood floating in the middle of the vast ocean next to
• 1:17:05
  four other people, the alvavidas and the survivors. We expected rescue helicopters to
• 1:17:11
  arrive, but by the time they arrived, two hundred and forty- four
• 1:17:15
  people had lost their lives due to injuries, drowning or being trapped in the
• 1:17:21
  rubble slowly sinking in the midst of that desolate blue desert. Our shipwreck would
• 1:17:28
  have been longer if the warning signal had not been given in time, but
• 1:17:31
  it succeeded and within a few hours the International Water Guard arrived. Two ships
• 1:17:38
  arrived. One would take us back to the survivors to where we had departed.
• 1:17:43
  The other would remain in search and rescue work, which served no purpose,
• 1:17:47
  as it seemed inevitable what happened after the boiler burst. During all this
• 1:17:55
  time I had said nothing about the accident, for I had nothing to do
• 1:17:59
  in the maintenance room, where all the chaos originated. My testimony of little
• 1:18:04
  or nothing would serve at that time. Besides, I wouldn' t add
• 1:18:09
  anything to what happened. I couldn' t do anything. I didn'
• 1:18:12
  t know what was going on or rather what was about to happen. When
• 1:18:16
  I saw the strange man in the gray suit walking into the room where it
• 1:18:21
  all started. Another important factor is that I couldn' t say what the
• 1:18:26
  man in the gray suit had been seeing as far as I know. He
• 1:18:30
  was not seen by anyone else and today there is no talk about someone with
• 1:18:33
  the characteristics of this entity. I' m sure it was a spectrum,
• 1:18:39
  an appearance, but it was trying to warn me that it was what was
• 1:18:44
  about to happen. I don' t know, but my presence there didn
• 1:18:47
  ' t help. I wasn' t in time to prevent the wreck.
• 1:18:51
  I couldn' t have known. The most disturbing was the seeming, disfigured
• 1:18:57
  and totally unrecognizable face of the apparition. I was wondering why the entity looked
• 1:19:02
  like this. If something like a reason for this existed, then I opened
• 1:19:09
  up the reason or at least the one I started and I kept believing a
• 1:19:13
  documentary would be made years after what happened. This mentioned that the ship was
• 1:19:17
  built in nineteen hundred and twelve to be used on a trip that would originate
• 1:19:24
  in the United States and end on the coasts of Portugal, but something went
• 1:19:29
  wrong. The main boiler exploded and six people died. When this happened,
• 1:19:34
  the ship was still in its last revisions, so those six people were boat
• 1:19:39
  maintenance equipment and one man supervised operations. Then the trip would be cancelled due
• 1:19:46
  to the technical faults already mentioned in the boiler. The mistake could not be
• 1:19:50
  repaired and the ship was sent to Mexico to be dismantled and sold in parts,
• 1:19:57
  which never happened. The ship was useful and refurbished in the year nineteen
• 1:20:00
  hundred and sixty- six. Since then it had been given a commercial use.
• 1:20:06
  However, the boiler accident all the time was a secret of the company
• 1:20:11
  that would have bought the boat, a secret that, if revealed, would
• 1:20:15
  be expensive, which did not suit the investors of the company to which it
• 1:20:19
  belonged American transcontinental. I believe that this apparition, which was constantly close to
• 1:20:29
  me during those days prior to the accident, could have been one of the
• 1:20:33
  people who died in the original accident of nineteen hundred and twelve. His clothes
• 1:20:38
  coincided with the time and place he took me to, the place where he
• 1:20:42
  and five more people lost their lives. He pointed the boiler at me with
• 1:20:46
  his finger, like warning me that that part of the ship was dangerous,
• 1:20:51
  like telling me that it was about to explode and cause a huge accident.
• 1:20:57
  After those last moments on the ship or r I never again saw the man
• 1:21:00
  in the grey suit or anyone who feels he doesn' t seem from this
• 1:21:04
  world, from the world of the living. It was something unique, an
• 1:21:10
  event that I remember as if I had lived it a few days ago and,
• 1:21:14
  as time goes by, I cannot fail to see the bloody face of
• 1:21:18
  the man in the grey suit, who I think was left that way after
• 1:21:23
  the explosion that cost him his life. What I don' t know is
• 1:21:26
  if he was trying to warn me what was going to happen or he just
• 1:21:30
  took me there so that I would have the same fate as him. Anonymous accounts
