- 0:05I grew up in the countryside the farm belonging to my family, generation after
- 0:10generation, since time immemorial. It is usually a nice enough place to live
- 0:14and raise children. I hate the city. I prefer to live in a
- 0:19place with clean air and the pleasant silence of the night of the countryside.
- 0:23He could let some cons pass himself, such as the fact that there is
- 0:27not much Internet signal or phones or that in the field things happen that would
- 0:32wet anyone' s pants. And this last one, I' m not
- 0:37just saying because someone told me. I' m saying this because it happened
- 0:41to me at the age of fifteen. Javier was my best friend all over
- 0:45the world and although our respective family farms kept us very busy, we always
- 0:52found the time to see each other and spend as much time together as we
- 0:55could. I was responsible for the goats and sheep s s ns, keeping
- 1:00the corral clean, fresh water and alfalfa in the feeder. In my view,
- 1:04my work was less heavy than Javier' s. He was in charge
- 1:08of milking cows, cleaning pigs and supplying water to his house and cattle.
- 1:15For some they may not sound like a heavy task, but when you have
- 1:19to walk twenty minutes just go to the nearest well and come back with two
- 1:26buckets full of water along the same paved road. I can only say that
- 1:30I would like to see anyone try them without spilling a single drop of sweat.
- 1:34Very often we entertained ourselves so much together that Javier ended up postponing that
- 1:40work until the sun was hidden and he had to walk practically in darkness all
- 1:45the way to the well. Most of the times this happened, I used
- 1:49to accompany him, but in some others my mother or my own deferred duties
- 1:53prevented me from doing so. The night before we both said goodbye around 8
- 2:00: 30 p m. My mother did not let me accompany him, because,
- 2:04according to her words, they are spending too much time together, which
- 2:09was a lie, But my education had been so strict that I did not
- 2:14question what she told me. We only said goodbye and each took his own
- 2:17path. However, the next morning he came with me, like every afternoon,
- 2:23but something in his gaze was different. He told me that, as
- 2:28he returned with his fifth and last journey of bringing water, he gave in
- 2:31the distance someone sitting on a huge rock that was often used as a rest
- 2:37stop for everyone who went for water to the well, so it was not
- 2:39unusual for him, even though he did not remember having met someone while he
- 2:45was going to the well. From the distance and darkness, it was difficult
- 2:49for him to see many traits or who they were, but he could swear
- 2:53he had a strange hat. However, as more features of or notice approached,
- 2:59he not only realized that he was no one of the people, but
- 3:01that he was not a human thing. It was a fur goat between brown
- 3:07and Grey. His eyes couldn' t give credit to what he was seeing.
- 3:13The goat was sitting on that stone like a person with crossed legs and
- 3:17hooves on them. He stared at her with disbelief. He looked so strange,
- 3:24but, on the other hand, the animals could act strange sometimes,
- 3:29so nothing else wanted to surround her without disturbing her and then tell that story
- 3:34as nothing more than a strange moment when suddenly the goat looked back at her,
- 3:39He was frozen for a few seconds when he saw her yellowing eyes.
- 3:44When he suddenly opened his snout, he uttered a perfectly clear prayer. The
- 3:50kids should be sleeping at this hour. At that moment, Javier threw a
- 3:54cry of impression, released the two buckets he had in his hands and cut
- 3:59saw his house. He didn' t say anything else or chased him,
- 4:04but he told me that in the distance he could hear like that goat or
- 4:08whatever that thing was, he laughed frantically, of course I believed his story.
- 4:15He had never given me reason not to believe in anything that came out
- 4:18of his mouth. But even if I believed him, that doesn' t
- 4:21change the fact that his parents, they didn' t believe that we had
- 4:27both been playing with the water and maybe we had broken the wooden jubetas.
- 4:30And then Javier had invented that goat story so he wouldn' t take responsibility.
- 4:35I accompanied him to find the buckets so that at least his parents wouldn
- 4:40' t take away the little money they gave him a week to replace the
- 4:44buckets. However, we only find one between grass and weed. The second
- 4:48if it was there, but it was torn to pieces as if an animal
- 4:54had trampled it to the ground. There were some traces of goat hooves between
- 4:59the earth and the mud, but nothing. Besides that, after that day,
- 5:03whenever I knew that I could not accompany him, we said goodbye much
- 5:08earlier so that he could go even when the sunlight was on his side,
- 5:12but no matter how many times I accompanied him I could never see any goat
- 5:16on that road. Just two weeks later I found something. It wasn'
- 5:23t a strange paranormal experience or anything that made me run away unsavory from the
- 5:28place. It was a brown and greyish fur goat with yellow eyes. He
- 5:32wasn' t acting in a strange way He was just there grazing his behavior.
- 5:39It was nothing different from my fifteen goats I had on the farm.
- 5:44However, something if it was a bit peculiar. I' ve never seen
- 5:47that goat in town before. Being in charge of caring for the goats of
- 5:53my family, I had had the opportunity to see all the goats of the
- 5:57neighbors and people around and knew that none had a goat with those characteristics and
- 6:01the thought that it could be Silvestre was, moreover, a nonsense in the
- 6:06village. There wasn' t that kind of wildlife. If you could add
- 6:13it to your farm, then you took it I approached it cautiously so that
- 6:18I could observe it better. She was pretty meek, which confirmed she couldn
- 6:23' t be Silvestre. I looked her up for some clue that would tell
- 6:27me who it could be. I knew all the marks people in town used
- 6:31to mark their cattle. So, that way I could know who it was
- 6:35and take it with its owners. It was dangerous for such a meek goat
- 6:42to be alone in the middle of the pasture, for there were coyotes in
- 6:46the area who would not hesitate to attack a solitary goat. He had nothing,
- 6:50no tattoo, no scar. It wasn' t anybody' s,
- 6:55at least not from someone in town I decided to take her home. They
- 6:59' re already there. I' d ask the neighbors if they' d
- 7:02bought a goat that wouldn' t have given them time to dial before they
- 7:06got away. However, no one seemed to own that goat, no matter
- 7:11how much I walked around the village touching farm by farm. I considered going
- 7:15to the next town to ask. However, my dad told me that he
- 7:20had done the right thing by asking the neighbors and all that, but that
- 7:25if someone in the next town had lost an unmarked goat and didn' t
- 7:29have the time to look for it nearby, he was most likely left over
- 7:32head of cattle and wasn' t interested enough in looking for a single goat,
- 7:38so he suggested I stay with her. That was very logical. Besides,
- 7:44everyone in town already knew that I had found a goat and looked for
- 7:47the owner. If someone in the next town asked any of his friends if
- 7:53we hadn' t seen a goat, then I' d give it to
- 7:57him without any problem. But the real problem happened when I tried to put
- 8:01the goat in the corral along with the others. I' ve been practically
- 8:05my whole young life on that. I knew how to introduce new species into
- 8:09the corral, but this time it didn' t matter how I did it.
- 8:13The goats were simply unhappy with the new one, altered them and tried
- 8:18to attack her, so I had no choice but to make a corral especially
- 8:24for her. For some reason I don' t know to this day I
- 8:28could feel some kind of connection with that goat. He was a very curious
- 8:33boy and always gave my animals funny and picturesque names. However, while trying
- 8:39to come up with some funny name, the ideas just didn' t come
- 8:43to me. Two days after I decided to stay with her during a dream,
- 8:50I saw the goat in her new pen and she said to me with
- 8:52a female and adult voice my name is Rosaura, so the next day I
- 9:00started referring to her by that name. Such was my connection to her,
- 9:03that I did not have the courage to mark her with a red- hot
- 9:07iron, as we did with all our cattle. I only made him a
- 9:11necklace with slats and bells where I wrote his name with indelible marker. My
- 9:16parents told me I was crazy about giving that goat such a special treatment,
- 9:22but I was hiding out saying that if the owner ever came after her,
- 9:26I didn' t think it was right for me to find her marked by
- 9:30another family. However, deep inside of me I knew it was because I
- 9:33didn' t want anything bad to happen to Javier he didn' t like.
- 9:39He said that he was almost identical to the goat he had seen when
- 9:43he went for water and worried about how. I was very determined to say
- 9:46that I was a good animal and that I would not get rid of it.
- 9:50It was about a year when my concern that Rosaura' s real owner
- 9:54would come one day and take her away disappeared. Anyone who had lost her
- 10:00was sure that she was dead by that time. I remember one night my
- 10:05dad heard strange noises with the sheep, thinking it was a coyote. He
- 10:11went to investigate with a shotgun in his hand. He came back with a
- 10:16pale face claiming that Rosaura had called him by his name. I didn'
- 10:20t believe him and my mom just tried to make him see the logical side,
- 10:24which was that, perhaps among so many mottled and valid, his brain
- 10:30tried to give him a sense that made him think he heard his name,
- 10:33but it wasn' t that way. My dad seemed to want to convince
- 10:37himself that was the most likely explanation. However, his performance in the following
- 10:43days, avoiding Rosaura and even completely surrounding her corral so as not to run
- 10:48into her, implied that it was more than obvious than anything within him.
- 10:52He knew perfectly well what he heard and saw that night. After that day,
- 10:58some people in the village began to relate it to him. How in
- 11:01the early morning they had seen a sick goat walking on two legs in a
- 11:07very humane way said that he seemed not to mind being seen, but quite
- 11:11the opposite. He seemed to have an unhealthy pleasure in scaring the people of
- 11:16the village. Everyone who had seen it claimed that it was of the same
- 11:20colors and appearance as rose. However, I strongly refused to believe that that
- 11:26was possible. Until an early morning when I returned to my home, Javier
- 11:31and I had spent the afternoon and much of the night at the village fair
- 11:35and we had lost track of time. I walked into the Farm trying to
- 11:41make as little noise as possible. I knew they would scold me for not
- 11:46coming back at the time they told me, but I wanted to postpone it
- 11:50until the next day, so I decided to go all the way around the
- 11:54goat pens to avoid going through the window of my parents' room the closer
- 11:58I went to the pens the more I could notice that the animals were quite
- 12:03upset. I had grown up on that farm for fifteen years to know what
- 12:09the behavior of animals is at night. I didn' t mean to make
- 12:13it any more important. I figured it might be because I was passing by.
- 12:18So I decided to speed up the pace a little bit. When suddenly
- 12:22I saw her, the goat that had half a town terrified, walked on
- 12:26two legs with an upright posture very similar to the human one, hummed with
- 12:33a female voice the tune of the hymn to joy. I was petrified for
- 12:37a couple of minutes. My eyes couldn' t believe what they were seeing.
- 12:43The goat was pushing the lock of his corral with his hoof to enter
- 12:46and then did the same to close it. He then stepped back on all
- 12:52fours as if he were an ordinary goat. After thinking about it for a
- 12:58few seconds, he was still on his way. For a moment I thought
- 13:01maybe the half glass of beer we had shared Javier and I had been enough
- 13:07to make me hallucinate was too young to know what it felt like to really
- 13:11be under the effects of alcohol. I walked as natural as possible without taking
- 13:18off the gaze of the corral of Rosaura. She stared at me like nothing
- 13:22had happened. He chewed some alfalfa he still had in his feeder. When
- 13:28she suddenly winked at me, I ran home and didn' t stop until
- 13:31I was in my room that night. I didn' t just sleep in
- 13:37bed watching the way to the pens as if I expected Rosaura to walk out
- 13:41on two legs. From there on my quest I haven' t told anyone
- 13:46until now. You may call it crazy, but something inside of me.
- 13:50I just wanted to keep taking care of her and not let anything bad happen
- 13:54to her. And if he said what he had seen, coupled with the
- 13:58moods that were already around the neck, surely Rosaura would end up murdered in
- 14:03the hands of the locals. Besides, outside of scaring people, I had
- 14:07never done any real harm and maybe my plan to just ignore it would have
- 14:13worked. If not because Javier' s father saw her. A couple of
- 14:16months later, Javier and I had spent their whole birthday together at my house
- 14:22as a gift from their parents. He wouldn' t have to do any
- 14:26farm chores. It' s Eria so he helped me make mine to finish
- 14:31early and we were both together until late at night. Our plan was to
- 14:37make time for it to get so late that Javier could call his parents to
- 14:41stay at my house, but his father would not allow it. He told
- 14:46us that he touched the doorbell several times, but it seemed not to work,
- 14:50so with the confidence that only neighbors and friends of all life can have,
- 14:56he opened the gate lock and entered the farm to knock directly on the
- 15:00door and tell his son it was time to go home, when suddenly he
- 15:05saw her leave the cornfield. Unlike me, it didn' t take him
- 15:09more than two seconds after he saw her to throw a scream of pure dread
- 15:13and run out to our house. He played desperately until my mother opened him
- 15:18up. He put it in and he told us everything. My dad aware
- 15:24that something weird was going on with that goat, he said that to the
- 15:28point of getting out, the sun would go to his pen and kill her.
- 15:31At that time I didn' t have the courage to tell my father
- 15:35not to, especially because I didn' t really have any valid point.
- 15:39In my favor, that goat was not a common animal and who knows that
- 15:45evil could bring him to the village that night, neither my friend nor his
- 15:50father had the courage to return home. We were both so nervous about recent
- 15:56events that we couldn' t even be happy. That' s why I
- 16:00couldn' t help but feel bad for the fate that was waiting for Rosaura
- 16:06at dawn. I thought I might be smart enough not to go back to
- 16:10the farm after I scared my best friend' s father, but something inside
- 16:14of me knew that wouldn' t happen that way. Rosaura always returned to
- 16:18the farm, even if people had seen her a couple of hours before Dawn.
- 16:25I put on courage and told Javier how I felt and that I didn
- 16:27' t think it was bad at all. All I asked him was not
- 16:33to turn me in. He agreed to go with me, although he told
- 16:37me that if he got aggressive, he would bury a beak in his head.
- 16:41We both went down the window with great caution, as it was a
- 16:47second floor. We had to do so, as our parents had decided to
- 16:51stand guard on both doors for fear that that thing might attack them and anyone
- 16:55living in that house. We went through the pens until we got to Rosaura
- 17:00' s. She was there just like I thought she' d be.
- 17:04He looked at us with those yellow eyes. I opened the corral and told
- 17:10him to leave. I pushed her, but she refused to leave the corral.
- 17:15However, the moment I told her they were planning to kill her in
- 17:19the morning, she looked back a little, stared at us both for a
- 17:23few seconds and finally ran out of the corral as fast as she had ever
- 17:30seen her run. I didn' t know how to feel about it.
- 17:34After that day, no one in the village again had any sightings of that
- 17:38goat who walked on two legs and eventually became only a legend that the oldest
- 17:44told the younger ones so that they would not return home so late. My
- 17:49parents died to my thirty years and Javier' s parents shortly after that,
- 17:55being both sole heirs of the lands, of our parents an gone our farms,
- 18:00to this day, I have never seen any animal act that way again.
- 18:07Nor have rumors of anything similar to what happened with Rosaura been generated in
- 18:10the village. I always began to think about whether that being was a witch,
- 18:15a gual or a demon himself who had no intention of making any bad
- 18:22anonymous account.
