Desde Aquella Noche Algo Vive Dentro De Mi Padre ( Recopilación De Apariciones Extrañas #1 ) · Niebla en el bosque con Evelith von

  My mother told me that before I was born I had complications at the time
• 0:10
  of delivery. As the contractions were very spaced, the delivery took a long
• 0:15
  time and this caused her to have fetal suffering, which did not allow her
• 0:20
  to receive adequate oxygenation. Those difficulties complicated my health. My brain was also
• 0:26
  affected by the lack of oxygen, so I began to convulse. When I
• 0:31
  was a year old, I lived in a town near Guadalajara. Although it
• 0:36
  was now and a half of the city, it was not so easy to
• 0:40
  go because of the lack of economic resources. The village doctor sent us to
• 0:43
  the boat to take care of me. In that hospital. There were a
• 0:48
  little more specialties, but not enough for the health problem I suffered in the
• 0:54
  village There were people who practiced traditional medicine. His medications were the natural ones
• 1:00
  through medicinal plants. Traditions of the native peoples were still preserved, so they
• 1:07
  made clean with a bouquet of alcoholous plants, while praying for the person to
• 1:12
  leave the evil spirits. I was in medical treatment for most of my childhood
• 1:21
  with doctors in the boat, but I wasn' t entirely relieved. They
• 1:25
  only managed to control my illness. My desperate mother took me with a healer
• 1:30
  who was very reliable in the village. From the beginning. She said she
• 1:34
  was frightened by everything I lived through during the gestation period and the entrances and
• 1:40
  exits to the hospital. The healer put alcohol in her mouth and started spraying
• 1:45
  it over my body. I mumbled prayers and asked different saints to take away
• 1:51
  my fear for my health to return. I don' t know if it
• 1:56
  was superstition or coincidence, but the convulsions spread a lot more and less frequently,
• 2:01
  so my mom kept taking me to the healer of the town called Hortensia,
• 2:06
  although they called it a light as a way to shorten her name.
• 2:12
  One of the last times my mom took me to the house, when we
• 2:16
  got home, I started to hear laughter from a girl. It was normal
• 2:22
  because I had two brothers and two sisters, so I didn' t give
• 2:25
  it any importance. I thought they were playing. We had a large backyard,
• 2:30
  which had several fruit trees. I saw my brothers playing ball in the
• 2:36
  yard. Another of my sisters was taking a bath and my younger sister was
• 2:42
  watching a children' s show on TV. I didn' t pay attention
• 2:46
  to her, although she kept hearing a girl laughing, she also heard her
• 2:52
  footsteps running all over the house. I asked my mom if she heard a
• 2:54
  girl playing too. My mother paid very little attention to me and told me
• 3:00
  they were my brothers. I knew they always made a lot of noise when
• 3:05
  they played. Although it was true, what my mom said this time was
• 3:08
  different. It was a very peculiar laugh. Without saying anything else. I
• 3:15
  checked the rooms, the yard, the bathroom, but I didn' t
• 3:19
  find anyone. I thought everything had been the product of my imagination and I
• 3:23
  forgot about it I slept in the same room as my sisters, my other
• 3:29
  brothers did in another room. That night I was sleeping deeply suddenly without any
• 3:35
  apparent cause. I woke up abruptly and as I opened my eyes, I
• 3:40
  saw a girl, about seven years old, staring at me, standing attentive
• 3:46
  to my dream. She didn' t even immutate. He kept seeing me
• 3:51
  in a strange way. I got so scared that I joined up and walked
• 3:54
  to the corner of my bed. As long as that little girl didn'
• 3:59
  t take my eyes off. I looked for my sisters in their beds.
• 4:02
  They slept without realizing what was happening to me. The girl stared at me
• 4:08
  for a few more seconds after she left and disappeared. Because of the scare
• 4:13
  she gave me and because of the darkness of the night, I couldn'
• 4:15
  t see her clearly I only saw her face. I stayed awake until dawn.
• 4:20
  I think it wasn' t long before dawn. As soon as I
• 4:26
  heard the sound of the frets in the kitchen, I got up was my
• 4:30
  mom who had started cleaning work in the house. I approached her and told
• 4:34
  her what I had seen at night. But my mother didn' t take
• 4:39
  it seriously and told me she must have been one of my sisters who wanted
• 4:43
  to scare me. I insisted that they were asleep in their beds. He
• 4:48
  wouldn' t let me finish. He ended the talk by telling me that
• 4:53
  I surely had a bad dream of those that seemed real, and he went
• 4:58
  on with his activities. I couldn' t tell you any more. I
• 5:01
  went to the yard to hang out with my dog for a while. There
• 5:04
  was a swing on one of the trees. My dad did it with a
• 5:08
  rope and a piece of board. I' ve been walking for a few
• 5:12
  minutes. Suddenly my dog started barking for no apparent reason. He ran behind
• 5:17
  me and kept barking insistently. I asked him to shut up, but my
• 5:24
  dog didn' t understand and I sat on the swing without walking Suddenly I
• 5:30
  felt when someone pushed me on my back. I turned right away to see
• 5:32
  who it was, but there was no one. It wasn' t the
• 5:38
  product of my fantasies. Again I felt the slight ride to follow me.
• 5:42
  Being on the swing, I jumped right away and looked around, though there
• 5:46
  was no one. I saw one of my sisters who was already up.
• 5:51
  She greeted me with her hand and went on her way to the kitchen She
• 5:56
  didn' t even realize what was happening to me. I got into the
• 6:00
  house right away. From the inside I could see towards the courtyard. I
• 6:03
  closed the door and stayed for a few seconds looking out. They were not
• 6:08
  false ideas and I clearly saw that the swing was still moving. My mom
• 6:14
  touched my shoulder. The instant he did it, I jumped back. She
• 6:18
  asked me what scared me so much. I told him there was someone in
• 6:23
  the yard, a girl. Same as last night. He stared at me
• 6:28
  as if with his gaze he could enter my mind and discover that he was
• 6:31
  lying to him. He told me he' d take me with him to
• 6:36
  tell him what was happening to me. In the afternoon. He took me
• 6:40
  with a bell. She performed a different ritual, sat me on the floor
• 6:44
  around, put several candles on and continued to pray her prayers to Saint Benedict
• 6:49
  and Saint Michael the Archangel, as well as other saints, of whom I
• 6:54
  could no longer remember their names. As soon as the ritual ended, n
• 6:59
  n n n h ono said it was true. What I saw was an
• 7:01
  angel who didn' t want to hurt me. On the contrary, I
• 7:05
  just wanted to take care of myself and give myself their protection. He didn
• 7:10
  ' t believe Tencha what he was saying, because if it had been true,
• 7:15
  he wouldn' t have to be afraid. I' ve never seen
• 7:16
  an angel before, but I think the least that would make me feel was
• 7:20
  fear, and that' s exactly what I felt with that little girl.
• 7:25
  I had some doubts because after Tencha did that ritual to me, I never
• 7:30
  saw the girl again. For a while. More than two years went by
• 7:33
  without the same thing happening again. I was confident that I would no longer
• 7:39
  see that child, but one day I was playing in the courtyard of my
• 7:44
  house. I was starting to get dark and my brothers got in for dinner.
• 7:47
  I stayed for a while watching the stars. I liked to do it
• 7:54
  because I sometimes saw some shooting star or some firefly. Although it happened very
• 7:59
  rarely, I noticed that at the bottom of the courtyard, in the part
• 8:03
  where my mom had the laundry, I saw a light that slipped between the
• 8:07
  dirty clothes had the fixation to catch a firefly and put it inside a jar
• 8:11
  to have its light. Every day I took a surprise when when I pulled
• 8:18
  the clothes I saw the same hidden girl under the laundry room. She was
• 8:24
  crouched with her face between her knees. This time I could see it a
• 8:26
  little better because the light of the lamp that was near the door reached.
• 8:33
  The girl had big dark eyes and extreme paleness. He stared at me.
• 8:39
  At the same time she spied a slight smile that I didn' t find
• 8:43
  friendly. On the contrary, she was disturbing. I fell down the same
• 8:48
  time I screamed. My mother and my brothers ran away. They asked me
• 8:52
  what was going on without saying anything. I pointed my finger at them and
• 8:56
  covered my face because I didn' t want to see her again. My
• 9:01
  mom took me to the kitchen, sat in the dining room and asked me
• 9:05
  to explain what had happened. I said crying that she was the same girl
• 9:11
  I saw a while ago, but she wasn' t an angel, because
• 9:15
  the angels weren' t ugly or scary either. My mom told me she
• 9:20
  ' d take me home again, but I told her not to. I
• 9:24
  didn' t want to go with that lady because she didn' t believe
• 9:26
  me. Besides, I couldn' t get that girl to disappear and by
• 9:31
  the way, I said that I was an angel who looked after me,
• 9:35
  when it was the opposite, because it caused me a lot of fear.
• 9:37
  My mom didn' t take me to the healer, but she said yes,
• 9:41
  I saw the girl again. I wasn' t going to take it
• 9:45
  into account and I' d get a fight. As I grew older,
• 9:50
  I saw her less and less. There were times when I thought I was
• 9:54
  going to disappear, but again I was coming back. The bad thing happened
• 9:58
  when I started seeing more brazen beings. I was just about to finish high
• 10:05
  school. When I started seeing a man and a woman who dressed very old.
• 10:09
  She was combed with her hair picked up, she brought a long-
• 10:13
  sleeved blouse with wavers and a long skirt. The man was wearing a long
• 10:18
  shirt, pants with straps and a hat. I saw them while I was
• 10:24
  in front of the mirror. I was combing my hair. When I saw
• 10:28
  the woman' s reflection it was like she was seeing me, too.
• 10:31
  Then his face was transformed, his eyes shone and he grew in his mouth
• 10:37
  sketching a demonic smile that showed sharp teeth. He walked fast toward me,
• 10:43
  but when I turned I saw no one. I started to feel like I
• 10:48
  was missing. The air was breathing quickly and I felt that as much as
• 10:52
  I pulled air was not enough. My sister was also in the room.
• 10:56
  He ran for my mom. They gave me some water and I relaxed little
• 11:00
  by little until I was calmer. I looked back in the mirror without seeing
• 11:07
  anyone. My sisters and my mom turned to the mirror too. They asked
• 11:13
  me what I had seen because they saw the fear in my eyes. I
• 11:16
  told them about the man and the woman. My little sister asked me about
• 11:20
  the girl. I told them that I kept seeing her and that over the
• 11:24
  years I had understood that I would still see her for my whole life.
• 11:28
  However, I was very afraid to see other people by that time I was
• 11:35
  very sick, I no longer gave consultations, I had become sick with cancer,
• 11:41
  so my mom didn' t take me with her anymore and we went
• 11:43
  to the boat. We got some family from my dad. When I was
• 11:48
  in another house, I had the feeling that the appearances of the brazen beings
• 11:54
  were no longer going to happen. I didn' t know why, but
• 11:58
  I thought it was because they were not parked in my parents' house.
• 12:03
  My aunt told my mom to drop me off at her place. She would
• 12:07
  take me for all the studies the doctor indicated that I could go to the
• 12:11
  village to take care of my brothers. My mom thanked my aunt' s
• 12:16
  offer and left at my aunt Letti' s house. I felt different,
• 12:22
  I felt calmer because I stopped seeing the girl as well as the man and
• 12:26
  the woman. Little by little I began to come into confidence with the idea
• 12:31
  that I had left the apparitions behind. My aunt had two children who were
• 12:37
  a little older than me. I stayed most of the day at my aunt
• 12:41
  ' s house and my cousins went out to have fun with their friends.
• 12:46
  On one occasion, my aunt went out to a meeting next to her husband.
• 12:50
  My cousins went out, too, and I was left alone in the
• 12:52
  house. I made popcorn and set out to watch a movie. This one
• 12:58
  was fun, but I heard a noise about it. I put the sound
• 13:03
  down to the movie and again I heard footsteps running. I immediately got out
• 13:07
  of the chair. As he turned around. I couldn' t believe it.
• 13:11
  At the bottom of one of the rooms, I saw the same man
• 13:16
  and the woman. She tried to catch up with me. I ran out
• 13:20
  screaming out of the house and stood outside in the garage and every moment I
• 13:24
  looked at the door because I thought some of those beings would come looking for
• 13:28
  me. It didn' t happen, but I didn' t encourage myself
• 13:33
  to go back into the house until my aunt arrived. As soon as she
• 13:37
  saw me, she got out of the car. He asked me what had
• 13:41
  happened because I was still crying. I told him everything that had happened to
• 13:45
  me. Ever since I was little. My aunt didn' t say anything.
• 13:48
  She kept an eye on my story. When I finished telling her everything,
• 13:52
  I hugged her and told her I didn' t want to see those
• 13:56
  beings anymore. I thought when I came to his house they were going to
• 14:01
  completely disappear, but it wasn' t. They were chasing me anywhere I
• 14:03
  went. My aunt didn' t doubt what I told her, but she
• 14:09
  asked me a strange question. He told me if I had ever tried to
• 14:13
  talk to any of those beings to find out what their intention was. I
• 14:16
  replied that I wasn' t so afraid I wasn' t even trying to
• 14:22
  talk to them. On the contrary, I was trying to get them out
• 14:26
  of my sight because I was afraid to see them. He asked me when
• 14:31
  it was the first time I saw the girl, I tried to remember,
• 14:35
  but I couldn' t find an exact date, without her still answering her.
• 14:39
  My aunt told me she' d been aware I' d been sick
• 14:43
  since I was born. It took several years for me to recover my health.
• 14:48
  At the time she made that comment to me, I remembered that the
• 14:52
  first time I started seeing that girl was when my mom took me with a
• 14:56
  bell, because she believed that I had made an eye or that I was
• 15:01
  scared That' s why the medicines didn' t help me, because my
• 15:07
  problem was because the spirits had made me sick. When I finished telling my
• 15:11
  aunt what my mother and bilge believed, she didn' t doubt it.
• 15:15
  He told me that he would look for someone who could help me so soon
• 15:20
  I had to wait, but he was going to seek support with his family
• 15:24
  and friends so that they would recommend him to a person who knew about beings
• 15:28
  from another world. I had no idea what my aunt was going to do,
• 15:31
  although I no longer wanted to go to another healer and told my aunt,
• 15:35
  she asked me to calm down and I was going to find the right
• 15:39
  person. I went to sleep a little restless. It took me a while
• 15:46
  to fall asleep. I was beginning to feel sleepy when I heard a noise
• 15:52
  under the bed. I thought it might be some creeping animal. I lay
• 15:56
  still, waiting for that noise to be normal today, but it wasn'
• 16:00
  t. I noticed that the sound was getting more intense. He heard the
• 16:07
  footsteps of someone inside the room, as well as the gnashing of bones.
• 16:11
  I was just gonna get in to see what it was about. When I
• 16:15
  felt someone lay in my bed, little by little, I felt the mattress
• 16:19
  sinking and moving. Then I sensed a foul smell. One of the spirits
• 16:26
  had laid down in my bed. I tried to get up, but a
• 16:30
  bony hand stopped me, grabbed my arm and wouldn' t let me out.
• 16:34
  I wanted to scream without getting it. My voice got stuck in my
• 16:38
  throat. I thought that entity was gonna kill me. However, he did
• 16:44
  not. I wanted to get out of bed and run, but I couldn
• 16:49
  ' t move that being either He started to crawl on my bed, he
• 16:53
  sat on my body and approached me his face. Husband seemed to keep a
• 16:56
  troubled smile all the time. He stayed watching me for a few seconds.
• 17:03
  It was the worst moments of my life, because through those huge dark eyes,
• 17:07
  I could feel all kinds of negative feelings, as if that entity transmitted
• 17:12
  its evil to me. All those sins for which the devil carried the souls
• 17:18
  of humans. The entity stopped looking at me the instant it did. The
• 17:23
  images that I had put in my mind were erased, because I saw many
• 17:27
  spirits floating aimlessly with lamentations and weeping then separated from my body and began to
• 17:34
  smell me put his face on every part of my skin or liske at every
• 17:38
  moment as if trying to keep my scent. Then he got out of bed
• 17:45
  and started walking around the room. He did not have a straight posture,
• 17:51
  he was bent and walked with great difficulty. His bones thundered every move he
• 17:56
  made. He prostrated himself in front of the mirror. In it reptiles were
• 17:59
  seen left, many more spirits were as if behind him were many beings with
• 18:04
  disfigured faces. The moment that entity moved away from my bed, I recovered
• 18:11
  the movement. I started to get up slowly trying to keep that being from
• 18:17
  realizing that I wanted to leave the room the brazen spirit. I kept looking
• 18:22
  at the rest of the beings in the mirror as I walked, afraid that
• 18:26
  at any moment he would see me and hurt me. I was taking a
• 18:32
  slow step when I heard the cracking of a bone. It was his head
• 18:34
  that turned. He started walking slowly towards me. I wanted to run,
• 18:40
  but again I was paralyzed as soon as the entity was close. I started
• 18:45
  to lose consciousness. I didn' t know what happened to me anymore.
• 18:48
  When I woke up, my aunt was sitting next to my bed. He
• 18:52
  told me he' d slept more than a day. I asked him what
• 18:55
  had happened to me. He told me he didn' t know what happened.
• 18:59
  The one of the or awakened her a few distant laments that she could
• 19:03
  hear. As he approached the room, he realized something was going on.
• 19:07
  He called insistently at the door. Since he didn' t get an answer,
• 19:11
  he opened it. He found my throat unconscious on the floor. It
• 19:15
  hurt so much. I felt like he hurt me when I wanted to talk.
• 19:18
  I still did. I explained to my aunt what happened. I told
• 19:23
  him that demon or entity was trying to take me with him and that I
• 19:29
  was trying to get behind a mirror. I didn' t finish telling my
• 19:33
  aunt because they knocked on the door. He was the doctor who was going
• 19:37
  to check me out. My aunt told me I didn' t know what
• 19:38
  happened to me. That' s why he called the doctor. I interrupted
• 19:42
  my story for the doctor to do his job. He listened carefully to me,
• 19:48
  concluding that I had stress and that I needed a lot of rest and
• 19:52
  calm. He prescribed me some pills so I could sleep and relax. As
• 19:57
  soon as the doctor left. I told my aunt to help me. I
• 20:02
  couldn' t live like this anymore. Every time the time passed, the
• 20:06
  spirits took more powers, because at first I only saw a girl who never
• 20:11
  wanted to hurt me. Then I started seeing a man and a woman.
• 20:17
  He was indifferent to my presence, but she wanted to hurt me. The
• 20:22
  worst happened yesterday. He kept talking nonstop. My aunt stopped me and told
• 20:26
  me she already knew where to take me. I told my aunt about pitch
• 20:30
  and that I no longer believed in those people, but she asked me to
• 20:34
  try, that I had to do something about it, because every time those
• 20:40
  spirits went further, which put my life at risk or worse my soul.
• 20:47
  We went with a man who was known in the boat, with an elderly
• 20:51
  man. His house was covered with images of angels and saints. I thought
• 20:56
  it wouldn' t do me any good being in that place. The man
• 21:00
  stretched out his hand to greet me. The moment he did it, I
• 21:04
  saw many beings of light hovering around him and as soon as he released me
• 21:08
  I stopped seeing them. The gentleman asked me why I came with him.
• 21:14
  I told him I was only doing it because I wanted him to clean me
• 21:18
  up because I was sick and the man wouldn' t let me finish.
• 21:22
  He told me if I didn' t believe in him, it was best
• 21:25
  if I left. I was surprised what he said to me because he seemed
• 21:29
  to know why he was coming with him, I didn' t doubt him
• 21:32
  anymore. I told him everything that happened to me. The man listened attentively
• 21:36
  to everything he said. When I finished talking, he told me that he
• 21:41
  had the power to make contact with beings from another world. If he wanted
• 21:44
  to, he could teach me how to use that power. He also told
• 21:48
  me that from the moment I entered his house, he could see many spirits
• 21:51
  coming after me. Among them were two demons and souls who purged a condemnation.
• 22:00
  The man asked me if I had always seen those spirits. I said
• 22:03
  no, I started seeing them. When I was eight years old after I
• 22:08
  got a clean. The man nodded and immediately told me that the time they
• 22:14
  made me clean, they opened one of the many portals that were in hell
• 22:18
  and that it was possible for demons to come out through that portal, but
• 22:23
  also for others to enter. I told the man that one of them tried
• 22:29
  to hurt me if it wasn' t for my aunt. Maybe she was
• 22:33
  already dead. Mr Smile told me that I could teach myself to deal with
• 22:38
  those beings because I had the ability to see them or that I could also
• 22:45
  close the portal so that they could not come out and find me without hesitation.
• 22:48
  I didn' t say for a second that I didn' t want
• 22:52
  to know more about demons or trapped souls than to close the portal. The
• 22:56
  man did a completely different ritual to the one or two that made the roof.
• 23:02
  Before I retired, he told me that if at any time a demon
• 23:06
  returned, I would not hesitate to go with him immediately, because demons were
• 23:11
  persistent they did not yield so easily. The man my aunt took me with
• 23:15
  helped me a lot. He had the power to close the portal through which
• 23:19
  demons and souls went out in sorrow and since that time I came with him,
• 23:25
  I saw no spirit again. In the village in which I was born
• 23:37
  there was talk of a legend of the church bell tower. People said ghosts
• 23:41
  appeared in that place. No one could explain for sure what it was,
• 23:47
  so the bell tower remained closed. The church had two large towers, which
• 23:52
  were not used for fear of any of the ghosts appearing. It was customary
• 24:00
  that, when it was time for Mass, the bells of the bell tower
• 24:04
  did not ring, but an additional bell that had been installed outside the church.
• 24:10
  I was fifteen years old when I lived closely strange events in the church.
• 24:15
  My family was large. We were four brothers and five sisters. My
• 24:21
  father lived off bean and corn farming. In the village, most people were
• 24:26
  involved in sowing. It wasn' t such a prosperous village, but we
• 24:32
  were trying to keep the place decent. Most of the houses were made of
• 24:34
  red tile. The façade of all the houses was painted white. The benches
• 24:41
  and the paving were in good condition. It was a place where it felt
• 24:45
  good to walk in its streets, because of the picturesque and quiet in front
• 24:52
  of the temple. There was a park with his kiosk. Its trees were
• 24:56
  yellow- coloured spring. The whole ur Sometimes it was made a carpet of
• 25:03
  flowers. I liked to live in this town, although we didn' t
• 25:07
  have enough economy to get ahead at home. There were a lot of mouths
• 25:11
  to keep. My mom was barely enough with the chores of the house and
• 25:15
  the care of my brothers. My mom talked to the church priest to ask
• 25:22
  him to let me work inside the parish. At first, the priest did
• 25:26
  not like the idea, but my mother insisted. He asked the father to
• 25:30
  help us by giving me a job. I started working at the temple.
• 25:36
  A Monday in March. My job was to keep the inside and outside of
• 25:41
  the church clean. He swept and moped the floor, cleaned the wooden benches.
• 25:45
  Then he swept the atrium. The father was kind and cordial, so
• 25:51
  I felt comfortable working in that place. On Saturdays there was catechism and the
• 25:56
  father told me that first it was God and after giving the job and Sundays
• 26:00
  it was my day off. He worked in the morning and went to school
• 26:06
  in the afternoon. I was about to finish high school and I wanted to
• 26:11
  continue my studies, although it was complicated because there was no high school in
• 26:15
  the village. I had to go to the city and at that time it
• 26:18
  was not possible to do so. I liked to see when they were preparing
• 26:23
  the children to be acolytes. The catechist explained to them the name of each
• 26:29
  utensil that was used during the Mass, also each of the rituals that had
• 26:33
  to be performed and how they should attend the priest. I told the catechist
• 26:37
  that I wanted to be an acolyte, but I couldn' t because it
• 26:42
  was just an activity for children. The girls didn' t attend the father
• 26:48
  anyway. While cleaning the temple, he learned everything about being an acolyte.
• 26:52
  It was five children who were preparing. One of them was my neighbor and
• 26:57
  my friend was called Daniel. When he had any doubts about the names of
• 27:03
  the sacred objects, he asked him and explained to me everything he learned with
• 27:08
  the catechist In the temple a large bell had been set up, that he
• 27:15
  had a long rope to be able to touch it from below and that there
• 27:19
  was no need to go up to the bell tower to make the calls to
• 27:22
  Mass. It was also part of the activities of the acolytes, so when
• 27:26
  one of them had a Mass. He had to arrive half an hour earlier
• 27:33
  to start playing the first call to Mass. Fifteen minutes later the second and
• 27:37
  the other fifteen the last call. When he touched Adam and assisted the father,
• 27:45
  he helped him to ring the bell and keep in order the items needed
• 27:48
  during the Mass. After Danny finished helping the father, we liked to climb
• 27:55
  the closed bell tower. We didn' t go in because we couldn'
• 28:00
  t, but we sat on the nearby steps. Sometimes others of the acolytes
• 28:04
  went with us. We had the doubt that it was what was seen in
• 28:10
  that place and why we were forbidden to be there. There was a time
• 28:14
  when Danny put his arm through the fence. He told me he felt colder
• 28:18
  inside the bell tower. I didn' t believe him and I went to
• 28:22
  put my arm in. It was true. There was a dramatic change in
• 28:26
  temperature. I told Dani that maybe it was because at the top of the
• 28:30
  tower the wind was colder. Although my mom asked me not to go up
• 28:34
  to the bell tower for anything in the world because something bad could happen to
• 28:40
  me, I didn' t believe her and kept doing it hidden. It
• 28:42
  was a secret I had with the acolytes, because we all did it and
• 28:47
  nobody said anything. We were going down. When I thought of screaming loudly
• 28:52
  Dan and he got so scared that he fell off the stairs. I wanted
• 28:56
  to pick him up, but I couldn' t. He complained about one
• 28:59
  a severe pain in the leg. Unfortunately, Dan broke his left leg.
• 29:04
  Father asked us what we were doing in that part of the temple. If
• 29:08
  he had told us on many occasions not to go up to the bell tower,
• 29:15
  we remained silent, for we knew that we transgressed the indication of the
• 29:18
  father and our parents. Danny stopped going to the temple for over a month,
• 29:22
  it took him longer to recover from his leg. Since that time I
• 29:27
  did not climb the bell tower again, not because I was afraid, but
• 29:33
  because no one else wanted to accompany me. I only did it the last
• 29:36
  day I worked at the temple. It was almost six o' clock in
• 29:38
  the afternoon and it was starting to get dark. I went up very carefully
• 29:42
  not to slip so that the same thing as Adam would not happen to me.
• 29:48
  As a farewell, I stayed for a few seconds looking into the bell
• 29:52
  tower. There was nothing strange about it. He was only dirty and forgotten
• 29:57
  because no one went up to clean the bell. It was in very good
• 30:02
  condition, because it was almost new. When they closed the bell tower,
• 30:07
  it still had a little shine left, although most of it was covered by
• 30:12
  the dust of time. I was about to get off when I saw someone
• 30:18
  reflecting on the tarnished bell, it gave me the impression that I was a
• 30:22
  man, although I didn' t stay to find out because it gave me
• 30:26
  a little fear. I came down quickly and went to find the father.
• 30:30
  I thanked the father for the time I was working in the church, because
• 30:33
  I could help with the economy of my home, but I was no longer
• 30:37
  going to work in that place. They had opened a small restaurant that was
• 30:42
  still side of the temple in front of the garden and I started working as
• 30:47
  a waitress. At the end of the day. It also helped clean up
• 30:51
  the place. As the days went by, the owner trusted me and gave
• 30:56
  me the cashier' s post. It was a job with greater response,
• 31:00
  but with less physical wear and tear. In the hours that there were no
• 31:04
  customers, I was entertaining myself by watching people pass by. From there I
• 31:07
  could see the church and the bell tower. On the 10th of May,
• 31:12
  the restaurant was filled more than usual, because many children took their mothers for
• 31:18
  lunch or dinner. On that occasion I left later from work. It was
• 31:22
  almost eleven o' clock at night. When I was walking towards my house,
• 31:26
  there was no risk that I would leave alone at that time, because
• 31:30
  the village was very quiet it was strange that that afternoon a light rain fell.
• 31:37
  The rains usually began in June, but that day was raining with persistence.
• 31:42
  As I walked slowly, I heard a few steps coming after me.
• 31:48
  I walked faster. I turned around to see who it was. He was
• 31:52
  a man dressed in black. He brought a long coat and a flap hat.
• 31:57
  I stopped by and got home. I opened the door and stood behind
• 32:01
  it. I was almost certain that the man had stood at the door of
• 32:07
  my house. Then I heard his footsteps. When she left, my mother
• 32:14
  felt scared. He asked me what was wrong with me. I didn'
• 32:17
  t want to worry her, because I wasn' t even sure that man
• 32:22
  wanted to hurt me. I told him everything was fine. I just ran
• 32:25
  so I wouldn' t get wet. After that night I began to see
• 32:30
  the man dressed in black in the park. He sat on a bench for
• 32:35
  a long time looking at the restaurant, although he was not sure where he
• 32:39
  was looking because his hat covered his face. There were days when Danny visited
• 32:46
  me at the restaurant, waited for me at the exit and we went to
• 32:51
  the house together. I told him that the man dressed in black already had
• 32:54
  several days that gave me the feeling that he was following me. I'
• 32:58
  d see him for a while, I' d disappear something, and I
• 33:01
  wouldn' t see him again for a few days. My friend turned around
• 33:05
  and the man was gone, and that' s why he didn' t
• 33:08
  take too much importance. I remember it was Dan' s birthday and I
• 33:13
  invited him to dinner at the restaurant. He stayed until we closed. Before
• 33:16
  we left our homes, we entered the temple court. We stayed for a
• 33:22
  while talking about the time he fell off the bell tower ladder. I asked
• 33:28
  him why he had been so scared if we had never seen anything, if
• 33:32
  it was only ancient rumors that we heard and that, except for the father
• 33:37
  who said he saw something disturbing. No one else spoke of the bell tower.
• 33:42
  Dan remained silent for a few seconds after telling me that he did come
• 33:45
  to see a sinister shadow, which moved not only in the bell tower,
• 33:51
  but also in some remote parts of the temple, as in the church'
• 33:55
  s backyard and in the halls on the upper floor of the jun halls together.
• 34:00
  He rarely came to see him in the parish atrium. It was always
• 34:05
  when it was dark and during the day he didn' t get to see
• 34:07
  it. I reproached him for why he barely told me. We could have
• 34:13
  done more digging dan and he said yes. She thought about telling me and
• 34:15
  doing something about it, but she didn' t want to involve me because
• 34:22
  I knew she was too stubborn. We stayed longer talking about the father who
• 34:25
  was before and the strange way he died. After I' ve seen the
• 34:31
  devil. In the atrium of the temple there were only three lamps that illuminated
• 34:37
  the entrance of the temple. The rest of the atrium, which was almost
• 34:39
  dim. We weren' t afraid to be there, because since we were
• 34:45
  young we went through that place, when suddenly I heard a whisper very close
• 34:49
  to my ear. I didn' t understand what I was told, because
• 34:52
  it was in a language I didn' t know. I got up quickly
• 34:55
  from the bench. While Danny was wondering what was going on. S R.
• 35:00
  I told him there was someone in the atrium and he had said a
• 35:04
  few words in my ear. My friend got up scared turning around. Something
• 35:09
  motivated us to look up at the church bell tower. There was the shadow
• 35:15
  of a person or spirit. I asked Dani if he saw him too.
• 35:21
  My friend answered with a trembling voice that yes, that it was best to
• 35:24
  leave there. Although something prevented us from leaving the court. I felt my
• 35:30
  legs as if they were two heavy rocks I couldn' t move. Danny
• 35:35
  told me the same thing, too. At the same time I heard the
• 35:39
  same murmur again dye them summarize, deny, enjoy. We left the temple
• 35:44
  immediately. We stayed in the park for a few seconds. From there I
• 35:47
  could see, through the moonlight, the black silhouette of a man. It
• 35:52
  was true there was someone in the bell tower. For a moment I thought
• 35:58
  it might be someone curious who had decided to go up, but I remembered
• 36:01
  that the place was locked and the key only had it the parish priest,
• 36:06
  so it was a being from another world who was in that place. We
• 36:12
  ran to my house. We don' t stop till we get there.
• 36:15
  I stopped suffocated by the effort I made in running. Dani was shaking.
• 36:20
  I told him to calm down We were already in a safe place, but
• 36:24
  he said no, no place was safe. Faced with that sinister being,
• 36:29
  he had the ability to move everywhere and he had time to pursue him.
• 36:36
  I couldn' t believe what Danny just told me. I asked him to
• 36:39
  explain to me what was going on and why he said that Dann was following
• 36:45
  him and turned around before he started telling me what was happening to him right
• 36:50
  away. He told me that the day he fell off the ladder was because
• 36:53
  he saw behind me still smiling in a demonic way and from that day on
• 36:59
  he saw him in his dreams and spoke to him in an unknown language.
• 37:04
  Then he started showing up at night in his room. To this day he
• 37:08
  slept in the living room of his house because His mother had an altar to
• 37:14
  the Virgin of Guadalupe, which gave him security, because the lens did not
• 37:17
  dare to appear in that part of his house, although it still burst into
• 37:22
  his dream. I told him the same thing every time. After Dany told
• 37:27
  me what was happening to him, he felt better about giving him the confidence
• 37:30
  to talk about it. He told me that he was afraid, very afraid
• 37:36
  that the entity would hurt him, because every day he took more powers,
• 37:39
  he was no longer only in his dreams, but also in his real life.
• 37:45
  It was the first time I paid attention to my friend' s physical
• 37:49
  appearance. He looked pale and thinner I told him to come into the house.
• 37:54
  My mom knew more about what had happened in the tower. Dani said
• 37:59
  no, because I was going to reproach him for entering the bell tower.
• 38:04
  I looked at Dan and with my eyes wide open, I was very scared
• 38:08
  and I insisted that he try to talk to my mom, but he didn
• 38:12
  ' t dare. He told me it would be another time. I went
• 38:15
  into my house confused and afraid. My mom was just finishing up cleaning the
• 38:21
  kitchen. I approached her to ask her what she knew about the bell tower
• 38:25
  legend and why she considered herself cursed. My mom stopped washing the frets and
• 38:30
  stared at me. He asked me a question. You went into that bell
• 38:36
  tower. He stared at me. I said no. He told me never
• 38:40
  to, because when the previous priest did, he had an unknown illness and
• 38:46
  soon died just by entering the bell tower and seeing something disturbing that he never
• 38:52
  revealed. The priest left the place older and died. My mom' s
• 38:59
  words were scary. I thought about what might happen to Dani. I wanted
• 39:04
  to tell you what happened, but one of my brothers fell and started crying.
• 39:07
  My mom told me that talk wasn' t over and she went to
• 39:12
  take care of my brother. That night I was thinking about my friend and
• 39:17
  how to help him. I was up late thinking about the man in black
• 39:22
  we saw in the morning. I left earlier than usual to go talk to
• 39:29
  the Temple Sacristan. Maybe he could give me some clues to help Dan as
• 39:34
  soon as I opened the door. I saw my friend outside my house,
• 39:38
  sitting on the sidewalk, with his legs picked up and his head between his
• 39:44
  knees. I saw him more obnoxious and pale than the day before. I
• 39:47
  asked him what had happened to him and since he was there now, I
• 39:53
  helped him get up. And that' s when I noticed that he had
• 39:57
  a mark on his neck dan covered that part of his body. I took
• 40:00
  his hands off. I looked at his neck and had a violet color on
• 40:04
  it, as well as red marks on different parts of his body. My
• 40:08
  friend couldn' t do it anymore, and he started crying. He told
• 40:12
  me that as soon as he came to the darkness, a disturbing being became
• 40:16
  present, followed him everywhere and sometimes listened to his breathing, as well as
• 40:22
  a murmur that he could not tell. I thought it was in another language,
• 40:28
  although I wasn' t sure what I heard, I didn' t
• 40:31
  go to church anymore. I asked my friend to come into my house.
• 40:35
  He resisted. He told me he didn' t want anyone to see him
• 40:39
  in that state because he was responsible for what was going on. He had
• 40:43
  been warned very often not to enter the bell tower and ignored. He thought
• 40:49
  that it was all a legend, that it had passed from generation to generation
• 40:54
  and that the reality was that people exaggerated what happened, so it made it
• 40:59
  easy for him to enter and deny everything that was said. But now he
• 41:02
  realized it was true. My mom went out to meet my friend on his
• 41:08
  face I saw his surprise when he saw him He helped him lie down on
• 41:13
  the couch in the living room. While she was asking me what had happened,
• 41:16
  I answered her what Dany had told me he looked scared. When I
• 41:21
  told her with my hand, I asked her to calm down. I thought
• 41:24
  my mom was the right person to help us. My mom asked us intrigued
• 41:30
  if we had entered the bell tower. I told him Dany did it.
• 41:35
  She sat on the couch and sighed. He told us that things alone weren
• 41:38
  ' t going to work out. If Dani had entered and the entity that
• 41:44
  lived in the bell tower also saw him, he would follow him until he
• 41:47
  achieved his goal. My friend asked what he meant. My mother preferred not
• 41:52
  to continue, as she realized the fear she generated in dan because she began
• 41:58
  to tremble. My mom sat next to my friend and hugged him. He
• 42:02
  told her he' d find a way to help him. He also told
• 42:06
  us there was something important to tell us. My grandfather, my mother'
• 42:09
  s father, was sacristan for a while in church and was very close to
• 42:15
  the priest who entered the bell tower. My grandfather saw when he came out
• 42:20
  with his hair tinted. Before falling into a coma he said that the demon
• 42:24
  who lived in the bell tower spoke in Basque an ancient language of Spain.
• 42:30
  The father knew how to speak that language because he was of Spanish origin and
• 42:35
  was one of the few priests who came to exercise his ministry in Mexico.
• 42:39
  He never mentioned what it was like to be living in that place, because
• 42:44
  he said that there were no words to describe it that with his presence alone
• 42:50
  made you tremble with fear, because many disturbing things were generated around him.
• 42:54
  I didn' t quite understand him. My mom got icy when she said
• 42:59
  neuskera' s words dye them summarize, deny or sara. That phrase in
• 43:04
  an unknown language contained a very great meaning. You will soon be in my
• 43:09
  kingdom. The instant Danny heard the warning, he covered his face with his
• 43:14
  hands. He was on the verge of crying. I asked my mom how
• 43:19
  she knew all that. She replied that my grandfather did the same. Curiosity
• 43:23
  and skepticism won him over. He went in to see what was inside the
• 43:29
  bell tower, but left us with the doubt, because my mother did not
• 43:34
  want to continue her talk, because my grandfather died shortly after he entered the
• 43:39
  cursed bell tower and told Dan to lie down immediately. I' d bring
• 43:44
  you some tea to calm your nerves in the kitchen. My mom told me
• 43:49
  that if we didn' t do something about it, Danny would die because
• 43:53
  his grandfather got on. Like my friend, he claimed that he saw a
• 43:57
  dark being, that he followed him everywhere until he died and the entity disappeared.
• 44:04
  I asked my mom if she saw him too. He replied that not
• 44:07
  only did the people entering the bell tower, because the little my grandfather talked
• 44:13
  about there was an entrance to the underworld and that the demon guarding the portal
• 44:16
  was very powerful. Everything my mom told me didn' t know. He
• 44:23
  never told me about my grandfather' s death. I always thought it was
• 44:28
  natural death. It hurt me to think my friend would run the same luck
• 44:34
  because I had no idea how to help him. I approached my friend to
• 44:37
  have a tea Only until that moment did I see the degree of nervousness that
• 44:43
  I had, because when I gave him the cup in his hands, it
• 44:47
  moved intensely with Danny' s trembling movement. My mom put a rosary around
• 44:52
  my friend' s neck. He told her he was blessed and exorcised.
• 44:58
  The Christ would take care of him and suddenly, Dani started screaming trying to
• 45:01
  get away. The rosary pulled it so hard that the blue crystal beads rolled
• 45:07
  out everywhere. His neck was bleeding. My friend told us he felt the
• 45:15
  rosary burning like it was burning fire. That' s why she couldn'
• 45:20
  t keep it and apologized to my mom for breaking it. When I wanted
• 45:24
  to pick up the beads from the rosary to put it back together, I
• 45:29
  was scared of what I saw. Each Crystal account was black as if it
• 45:31
  had passed through the fire and my friend' s neck had burns. My
• 45:37
  mother thought of going after the parish priest of the Church, although she told
• 45:42
  me that no one had been able to help her grandfather. Neither the anointing
• 45:45
  of the sick nor the sacred elements of the Church could be against that demon.
• 45:52
  It was time for me to go to work. I didn' t
• 45:54
  know what to do. I went to the restaurant to say I couldn'
• 45:59
  t go to work that day, but the owner asked me to stay.
• 46:01
  One of the waiters had crashed and the other was ill and I was going
• 46:07
  to ask for my support to be a waitress. As the other workers returned.
• 46:14
  I had no choice. I came back to warn Dan and my mom
• 46:16
  that I would go to work for that one. Then my friend had fallen
• 46:21
  asleep. I asked my mom to take care of him before I left for
• 46:27
  the restaurant. My mother told me that she would go talk to the priest
• 46:30
  of the church to guide her about what to do and asked me to come
• 46:36
  to the notary to talk to the priest and ask him what time to receive
• 46:39
  my mother. I did what my mom asked, but the secretary of the
• 46:45
  notary told me that Monday was the father' s day of rest and that
• 46:51
  that day a priest from another parish would come to give the mass I was
• 46:55
  a little disappointed. The father knew my family, so my mother thought of
• 47:00
  him anyway. I spoke on the phone to my mother to go to the
• 47:07
  end of the Mass of six to talk to the priest who would officiate the
• 47:10
  Mass. There were more people than usual at the restaurant because a truck of
• 47:15
  tourists came to visit the village. I wanted to talk on the phone with
• 47:22
  my mom to hear on my break to see how my friend was, but
• 47:25
  it wasn' t possible because the job didn' t stop. As soon
• 47:29
  as I finished my shift, I immediately went to my house and as I
• 47:32
  turned the corner of the street, it caught my attention that there were several
• 47:37
  people gathered in my house. I also saw the ambulance run to find out
• 47:40
  what was going on. My brothers were outside. The little ones were crying
• 47:45
  and on a stretcher they took out my mom. She saw me and asked
• 47:50
  me to take care of my brothers. I asked him what happened. He
• 47:54
  didn' t answer me. She was taken to the ambulance because she was
• 47:59
  beaten from everywhere and bled a little from her head. I remembered Dani wanted
• 48:04
  to come into the house. One of the paramedics wouldn' t let me.
• 48:08
  He told me it was better if I didn' t come in.
• 48:10
  My father stopped me and asked me to calm down and asked him what happened.
• 48:15
  But he didn' t have to answer me, because the semepho was
• 48:19
  taking my friend. I wanted to find out his face, but they wouldn
• 48:23
  ' t let me. I felt my stomach spinning. I couldn' t
• 48:28
  handle the emotions and I went to throw up. One of my older brothers
• 48:30
  told me that they give and began to throw things everywhere with the vase hit
• 48:36
  my mom in the head. My dad didn' t let him go on
• 48:39
  anymore. He asked me to calm down, but that wasn' t possible.
• 48:44
  My best friend was dead. When my mom left the hospital, she
• 48:49
  told us that Danny was asleep all afternoon, but as soon as the night
• 48:53
  turned up, she woke up with a lot of fear. He screamed no.
• 48:58
  On several occasions he got either crazy and tried to protect himself with my
• 49:01
  mom. She stopped his story. He told us he couldn' t help
• 49:06
  himself. He tried to help Danny, but in the face of that damn
• 49:10
  thing, nothing could be done. I asked him if he' d seen
• 49:14
  it. She felt crying. He told us that it was a very tall
• 49:19
  being, bigger than the common one had an extreme thinness and was dressed in
• 49:23
  black. Two horns protruded on his head. The worst thing was not his
• 49:30
  appearance, but the look and the demonic laughter he had. He didn'
• 49:36
  t know when it all happened. He only heard Danny' s terrified screams.
• 49:39
  My mom couldn' t go on anymore. She cried and my dad
• 49:44
  told me not to make her talk anymore, that it was best to leave
• 49:47
  her alone. My friend' s death affected me a lot, especially the
• 49:52
  way the events happened. My mom was also very nervous and I preferred not
• 49:59
  to harass her with so many prisoners together. It hurt so much that I
• 50:02
  couldn' t do anything to help my friend. I' ve often wondered
• 50:07
  why I didn' t stay home with Danny and my mom and that maybe
• 50:10
  everything would have been different. Every night I pray for him and in being
• 50:15
  a candlelight to my friend with the idea of giving him the light necessary for
• 50:21
  him to find the right way, for surely that demon took his soul,
• 50:25
  since he made the warning in Basque dye summarizing them denied, go Sara.
• 50:31
  Now I' m also afraid that that being will chase me because I was
• 50:37
  in the bell tower. I didn' t see him directly, but if
• 50:39
  I could see his reflection in the bell and in some parts of the park,
• 50:45
  every day I pray that it won' t happen to me the same
• 50:47
  as my friend Dan. I went to live at the San Lucas corporals because
• 50:55
  of work. He taught English online. Not many hours were allocated to me,
• 51:00
  so my income was not enough. The manager called me to tell me
• 51:07
  they' d open new offices in that place. They offered me a chance
• 51:10
  to take over the position of manager, only I' d have to get
• 51:15
  to the corporals. I had recently separated from my partner. I wasn'
• 51:22
  t having a very good time. My dad told me I could go back
• 51:24
  to living with him. I didn' t want to because I had a
• 51:30
  lease for a year. However, there was an extraordinary situation that made me
• 51:35
  make the decision. My friend Mario told me he was coming to town to
• 51:38
  try his luck. He was a friend of the people. I explained my
• 51:43
  situation to him. I told him he could stay in the apartment if he
• 51:46
  took care of the rent. Mario liked the idea and, by the way,
• 51:52
  if for some reason I wasn' t doing well at Corporal San Lucas.
• 51:55
  On my return I would have a place to live. At first,
• 52:00
  it was difficult to adapt to a new way of life. I was born
• 52:04
  in a coastal village, but long ago I had left my village to look
• 52:08
  for luck in the city, so the humid heat I did not love,
• 52:13
  although the place was very nice. On weekends I used to go to the
• 52:19
  beach and get to know more places. One of my colleagues recommended that I
• 52:22
  go to the people of all Santos. He told me that he was forty
• 52:27
  minutes from the corporals on Saturday morning I got up very early to take advantage
• 52:34
  of the day. I hadn' t made friends with my colleagues yet,
• 52:37
  so I left alone to all of Santos. The village was very nice.
• 52:42
  He was considered a magical coastal town. I went through every space, which
• 52:47
  had a great cultural richness. A taxi driver suggested I go to Cerritos Beach.
• 52:54
  I couldn' t get there walking, so the man offered to take
• 52:59
  me for a good price. I stayed for most of the day on the
• 53:02
  beach. I still needed more places to know, so I decided to stay
• 53:07
  that night in the village and return Sunday afternoon to the corporals. I waited
• 53:14
  to see the sunset. Then I went back to town. The taxi driver
• 53:17
  recommended me to visit some of the landmarks, such as the California Hotel.
• 53:23
  The man told me that that hotel had inspired the fig group to compose the
• 53:28
  California Hotel song. With the comment you made to me it caused me more
• 53:34
  expectation. I was starting to get dark when I got to the hotel.
• 53:38
  It was a place of tourist attraction because of the relationship that was made with
• 53:43
  the American musical group. I wanted to visit the cultural centers of all Santos,
• 53:49
  but they were already closed. The next day would be the first thing
• 53:53
  I' d go around. I went to a restaurant that had some tables
• 53:58
  on the sidewalk. It seemed like a great opportunity to appreciate the place better,
• 54:02
  whose street was adorned with ties of colors that gave it a spectacular picturesque
• 54:08
  tint. A woman came up to give me the menu As soon as I
• 54:14
  saw her, I was struck by her long black hair, as well as
• 54:19
  how beautiful the waitress was. He was attentive to giving me excellent service all
• 54:22
  the time. Before I retired, I asked him if he could orient me
• 54:25
  on which spot the Host me I asked him to suggest one with a not
• 54:31
  - so- high cost. The waitress smiled. He told me that two
• 54:35
  blocks from the restaurant was a hotel with an affordable price and was very comfortable.
• 54:40
  The woman had captivated me, so I asked her to show me some
• 54:45
  places in the village. She apologized. He told me he didn' t
• 54:50
  rest on Sundays, he only had one day a week. Again I asked
• 54:53
  her, even if it was a little bit before she went to work,
• 54:59
  she agreed and told me to go to work at noon. If I wanted
• 55:04
  to know other places, it had to be very early. She arrived at
• 55:07
  the hotel at eight in the morning. He took me to different places that
• 55:12
  I hadn' t been recommended. Those places were best known to the locals.
• 55:17
  Before we went to work at the restaurant, we went to a place
• 55:22
  that had a legend about love. Eternal. It was similar to the kiss
• 55:25
  alley in Guanajuato. It was a space with a bench in which the lovers
• 55:31
  found their love with a kiss and a lock, so there were many locks.
• 55:37
  We sit on the bench and take a picture right away. I walked
• 55:43
  her to the restaurant. I asked her for her phone number, but she
• 55:45
  told me that I had no cell phone situation that became otherwise strange to me.
• 55:51
  I thought you didn' t like my company and you didn' t
• 55:54
  want to know about me anymore. I didn' t want to insist I
• 55:59
  thanked her for her time and said goodbye to her thinking I' d never
• 56:02
  see her again, because that day I had to go back to the ends
• 56:07
  at the company. The job wasn' t that simple. There were many
• 56:12
  issues to be resolved and I was just beginning to learn how to perform in
• 56:16
  that position. The following days were chaotic and heavy. I was arriving at
• 56:22
  the office very early and I was leaving by nightfall until the next Friday.
• 56:27
  I was able to reflect on Mercedes, the girl from the restaurant. I
• 56:31
  had the anxiety to return to all Santos, but something stopped me, because
• 56:36
  I did not want to go back to the village and that she felt that
• 56:40
  I was harassing her, so I stayed to rest and went to the beach
• 56:44
  to see the sunset that I enjoyed so much. For two weekends. I
• 56:49
  didn' t go to all Santos. However, on the third weekend I
• 56:52
  could not contain myself and returned to the village. I went straight to the
• 56:58
  restaurant. This time, Merced didn' t help me. She smiled at
• 57:01
  me as soon as she saw me I approached. I told her I'
• 57:05
  d stay at the same hotel as last time and I' d love to
• 57:09
  see more places again. She agreed to arrive earlier at the hotel. I
• 57:16
  told him it wasn' t necessary. I could go home and then we
• 57:20
  ' d leave. Mercedes told me we' d better meet in the hotel
• 57:27
  lobby. From that time on we began to see each other more often.
• 57:31
  Mercedes went to the ends of his rest days on the weekends I went to
• 57:36
  all saints. She told me to go live together. We could stay at
• 57:43
  his place. I asked her what her parents thought about it. Mercedes told
• 57:46
  me that her parents had been dead for a long time and that she had
• 57:52
  no siblings. She lived alone in her house. Mercedes suggested that I look
• 57:57
  for a way to work in all saints, perhaps in my company. They
• 58:00
  would allow me to work remotely. I told him it wasn' t possible.
• 58:06
  My work had to be done in a face- to- face manner,
• 58:10
  as several colleagues had rejected the work just because there was a need to
• 58:15
  change residence. I noticed in her that she made a grimace of disgust because
• 58:20
  she apparently didn' t like the idea of leaving town. I told her
• 58:22
  it was easier for her to get a job. Anywhere, she was an
• 58:27
  excellent worker, responsible and committed. Any restaurant on the corporals would hire her.
• 58:35
  Mercedes told me not to take this the wrong way. All her ancestors
• 58:38
  had lived in this place and she had a loving affection for her home,
• 58:44
  because it allowed her to remember each of her loved ones. Also, if
• 58:49
  he left the house alone, he would be deteriorating and would have to pay
• 58:52
  rent. There was no need to do so. I asked him to give
• 58:58
  me some time to try and think about what I wanted to do. He
• 59:01
  agreed and we continued the weekend on the beach. While sitting near the sea,
• 59:08
  Mercedes told me if I knew the legend of the California hotel. I
• 59:13
  replied yes, that the Egos group relied on that hotel to make their song
• 59:17
  so famous. Mercedes told me that was one of the versions of the hotel.
• 59:24
  Although there was also another one and she began to tell the story of
• 59:29
  the hotel. He told me that it was built in the year of one
• 59:32
  thousand nine hundred and fifty, that it had a Spanish colonial architecture and a
• 59:38
  wonderful view of the Pacific Ocean. In addition, they said that there appeared
• 59:42
  a woman who lived many years ago. I told him that the first time
• 59:47
  I arrived at all Santos I saw the hotel I found it very nice,
• 59:52
  although I didn' t know anything about it, and I was so intrigued
• 59:57
  by his comment that I asked him to go and enter the Hotel Mercedes.
• 59:59
  He asked me a question, you' re sure. I said yes.
• 1:00:04
  I' d only seen the front part. Now I wanted to see her
• 1:00:07
  inside. She again asked me the same question, it is sure, of
• 1:00:13
  course, I answered her I do not understand the reason why I would have
• 1:00:16
  to doubt. Mercedes smiled and stared at me. I asked her what was
• 1:00:23
  going on. He said nothing. He was simply pleased that he was interested
• 1:00:28
  in the culture of the people. He put his face very close to mine.
• 1:00:32
  He whispered to me that I was going to like him so much that
• 1:00:37
  I was going to want to stay in him. I told him that wouldn
• 1:00:38
  ' t be possible. Even if it was very nice, I didn'
• 1:00:44
  t have a chance to pay for the hotel. Every day Mercedes smiled and
• 1:00:46
  we took the sand off our feet to leave we took a while to get
• 1:00:52
  to the California hotel facilities. When I had him in front of me,
• 1:00:58
  I found him more captivating because of everything he told me mercy from the beginning
• 1:01:01
  in which we entered I was impressed still retained his old architecture with some rustic
• 1:01:07
  furniture. I felt the feeling of warmth and shelter. It seemed like Mercedes
• 1:01:13
  knew him very well. He started moving down the halls, showed me some
• 1:01:16
  rooms and went to the Alberca area. Mercedes enjoyed being at the hotel.
• 1:01:23
  I thought she' d be happy to live in that place. So we
• 1:01:28
  stayed in the hobby for a while. We ordered a drink and she started
• 1:01:31
  talking to me about her family, especially her parents. That was an extremely
• 1:01:37
  pleasant moment, because I felt that I was beginning to be more confident.
• 1:01:43
  Time went too fast. I told Mercedes I still had time to get back
• 1:01:47
  in the last truck. Otherwise, I' d have to pay for a
• 1:01:52
  taxi, so we immediately left the hotel and she took me down a shorter
• 1:01:58
  road to the bus station. I was just about to leave, so I
• 1:02:02
  got in right away. I saw Mercedes' smiling face telling me to God.
• 1:02:07
  At that point I thought maybe it would be worth it to go live
• 1:02:12
  with her. All of Santos. As I told God, I saw two
• 1:02:15
  other girls standing behind her. They were watching the truck. It caught my
• 1:02:22
  attention that they dressed in an old way. But I didn' t pay
• 1:02:27
  much attention to them because Santos was being attended by people from different parts of
• 1:02:31
  the Mexican Republic, as well as from other countries, and I thought they
• 1:02:37
  were people with different customs. I started my work activities thinking about Mercedes I
• 1:02:44
  liked the idea of living next to her. In addition, the village was
• 1:02:46
  very beautiful, as well as its beaches, and every day he believed there
• 1:02:52
  was no reason not to do so. One of my colleagues told me that
• 1:02:54
  I looked very happy. I told him I was seriously considering in mine to
• 1:03:00
  live all saints. He was originally from the village and told me that it
• 1:03:06
  was a very nice place, although it was not very easy to get a
• 1:03:08
  job. That' s why he had moved to the corporals to work.
• 1:03:14
  There was more chance of getting a job, even though I didn' t
• 1:03:19
  want to take my intention away. He told me that he could try and
• 1:03:22
  if, for some reason, it didn' t work, he wouldn'
• 1:03:24
  t lose anything. I was going back to the corporals or to my town.
• 1:03:29
  I didn' t care much about the inconvenience of the job. What
• 1:03:31
  my partner told me was true. I didn' t lose much. In
• 1:03:37
  addition, the place was ideal for living next to Mercedes. I told them
• 1:03:42
  in my company the decision I made. They didn' t like me leaving
• 1:03:45
  the job, especially because they trusted me that I was going to last a
• 1:03:50
  long time with them and asked me for a month to get it. Whoever
• 1:03:52
  supplied me. It took a long time, but I wanted to leave the
• 1:03:58
  company' s doors open. A week after I notified the company of my
• 1:04:02
  resignation, my friend Mario called me on the phone and told me that my
• 1:04:06
  father had become very serious. He tried to communicate with me without getting it.
• 1:04:12
  It was pretty weird,' cause my phone was in good shape.
• 1:04:15
  My friend told me it was important that I go back to town to see
• 1:04:19
  my dad. I didn' t doubt it. I called the company and
• 1:04:24
  as soon as I got the flight, I went to see him. I
• 1:04:27
  found him thin and in a deplorable state, nothing to do with the strong
• 1:04:30
  and cheerful man who had been as soon as my dad saw me, got
• 1:04:34
  very excited, extended his arms to hug me. However, his face turned
• 1:04:40
  into fear. He asked me who the person was going with me. I
• 1:04:45
  told him it was nobody, that I was going alone. He got a
• 1:04:49
  little upset and asked me to get that man and the woman out of the
• 1:04:54
  room. Mario went with me and asked him if he meant him, but
• 1:04:59
  his got upset and told me no, he meant the other two people behind
• 1:05:02
  me. I turned back, pretending there really was someone. I asked them
• 1:05:11
  to get out of the room and opened the door. My dad got more
• 1:05:14
  angry. He told me not to try to fool him, because the people
• 1:05:18
  there were still inside the room and they were laughing in a strange way.
• 1:05:24
  He asked me again to leave his sight. It was necessary for me to
• 1:05:29
  leave the room because my dad started to get very upset. My friend stayed
• 1:05:32
  by his side. When he left, he asked me what had happened inside,
• 1:05:38
  what was wrong with my dad, and why he said he saw two
• 1:05:42
  people. As soon as the doctor finished checking. I approached my dad to
• 1:05:46
  ask him why my dad saw people who didn' t exist. He told
• 1:05:50
  me it was normal in a terminal patient. His brain no longer had the
• 1:05:55
  necessary nutrients because he ate too little. The more the medicine they supplied him
• 1:06:02
  had side effects. Hallucinations were part of the process. It was not very
• 1:06:09
  common for all patients to happen, but it was part of the clinical picture.
• 1:06:15
  Mario heard everything and when the doctor retired, he told me that my
• 1:06:18
  father was between two worlds, between life and death. Perhaps that is why
• 1:06:25
  I began to see beings that did not belong to the world of the living.
• 1:06:28
  Or it was also a reason why we could not perceive them. What
• 1:06:32
  my friend told me didn' t convince me. I thought they were spiritual
• 1:06:38
  superstitions. I' d rather listen to the doctor. I went back in
• 1:06:42
  to see him. As soon as he saw me, he started to shake.
• 1:06:45
  He asked me not to let those people who were with me take him
• 1:06:50
  away, that he was afraid to go to hell. That' s why
• 1:06:55
  I didn' t want to see them I felt sorry for my father.
• 1:06:59
  He has always been and has been a very religious person, and the fact
• 1:07:02
  that he believed in the existence of heaven and hell caused him fear by referring
• 1:07:08
  to the beings he saw surely were not good spirits. That' s why
• 1:07:13
  he was so scared. I didn' t know what to say or how
• 1:07:17
  to do. So I wouldn' t be afraid. Again, it was
• 1:07:20
  necessary for me to leave the room, although the reason for returning to the
• 1:07:25
  city was to be by his side. Mario asked me not to worry.
• 1:07:30
  He' d stay that night to take care of him. If I wanted
• 1:07:33
  to, I could stay in the visiting room and he' d go tell
• 1:07:38
  me how my father was. That' s how I did it. I
• 1:07:41
  stayed in the reception room for the rest of the sick family. At several
• 1:07:46
  moments my friend went out to tell me the conditions in which my father was
• 1:07:51
  very late the morning came out in a hurry. I was looking through the
• 1:07:57
  glass window into the street and pennr cando in Mercedes. Suddenly I saw the
• 1:08:01
  reflection on the glass of a man and a woman smiling with her gaze fixed.
• 1:08:08
  I turned scared looking for those two people among those present, but they
• 1:08:12
  weren' t there. I asked a girl if she saw the woman dressed
• 1:08:15
  in black and the man behind me. She told me there was no one
• 1:08:21
  but her mother and she and she never saw anyone else. I couldn'
• 1:08:27
  t keep thinking about those two people because Mario told me my father was very
• 1:08:31
  serious. I was unconscious and we saw when the doctors ran to his room,
• 1:08:38
  I did the same, but the nurse stopped me at the door and
• 1:08:42
  told me that my father had fallen into unemployment trying to resurrect him with the
• 1:08:45
  defibrillator. It was very hard to hear when the doctor said my dad'
• 1:08:51
  s time of death had happened at three forty- six in the morning,
• 1:08:56
  just as my father' s departure from this world happened. I heard a
• 1:09:01
  barely audible whistle. I thought it wasn' t the place for someone to
• 1:09:05
  whistle, although it wasn' t the cheerful characteristic melody I' d lie
• 1:09:12
  if I said no. I was afraid to hear the whistle because I related
• 1:09:15
  it to my dad' s soul. It was the first time I had
• 1:09:18
  such reflections about death and what happened after I died. I thought my father
• 1:09:25
  ' s soul could be inside the room without being able to see it.
• 1:09:30
  I left the hospital overwhelmed. Mario told me not to worry, that he
• 1:09:34
  was going to help me with all the necessary procedures to watch my dad I
• 1:09:40
  didn' t answer anything, I just hugged him, thanking him for his
• 1:09:44
  support. I called Mercedes to tell him I' d stay in town longer
• 1:09:47
  until I buried my father. He had no intention of performing a novenario of
• 1:09:54
  mass or rosary. As soon as I got out of the cemetery, I
• 1:09:59
  ' d get back to the corporals. I didn' t hear what she
• 1:10:01
  was saying, because there was a sound that didn' t let me.
• 1:10:04
  It was annoying interference. I tried to do it another time, but the
• 1:10:10
  signal was still failing. I didn' t try again and focused on firing
• 1:10:15
  my dad as his coffin entered the depth of the earth. I heard the
• 1:10:20
  same whistle for the second time. I asked Mario if he would listen to
• 1:10:26
  him too and he said no. He told me that maybe it was just
• 1:10:30
  the sound of the wind, even though I was sure it wasn' t.
• 1:10:33
  When I got to all of Santos, I went to see Mercedes right
• 1:10:38
  away. She treated me so warmly. It was at that moment that I
• 1:10:42
  decided to go live with her. I had run out of family to her
• 1:10:45
  people and now I had a chance to start a family with her. I
• 1:10:50
  said yes. I agreed to go live next to him. Mercedes was happy,
• 1:10:56
  he hugged me and we went to celebrate. When night arrived, I
• 1:11:00
  asked him where he lived until then. I was aware that he had never
• 1:11:05
  told me the address of his house. She said she' d tell me
• 1:11:10
  later. We were gonna be staying at the California Hotel that night. I
• 1:11:15
  found it very strange that she would give me that answer, because there was
• 1:11:19
  no reason to spend a night in the room if she had a place to
• 1:11:24
  sleep. I told him it wasn' t necessary. We had already entered
• 1:11:29
  the hotel and I had seen it was very nice, but we didn'
• 1:11:32
  t have to spend. Mercedes wrapped me in his words. She told me
• 1:11:36
  that it was the way she had to show me her joy that she did
• 1:11:42
  not take away her intention to do so and if she disagreed, we would
• 1:11:45
  go home. I didn' t mean to take your enthusiasm away. That
• 1:11:49
  night I decided to stay at the California Hotel. Before we went to the
• 1:11:55
  hotel, we went to the beach to see the sunset. We were very
• 1:11:59
  late at sea time. While we were sitting in the sand, I saw
• 1:12:03
  two women walking past us. They dressed in a curious way. His swimsuit
• 1:12:09
  was old, or at least that' s what I thought, even though
• 1:12:14
  he wasn' t a fashion expert. One of them wore a suit with
• 1:12:17
  olanes on her lower part and had her head covered with a tied cloth,
• 1:12:23
  just as women did many years ago. I told Mercedes if it was the
• 1:12:29
  new fashion dress like that. She just smiled. He didn' t tell
• 1:12:33
  me anything. We went in the taxi to the hotel. As soon as
• 1:12:38
  we got in, I thought it was different. I had not done it
• 1:12:41
  once during the day, although with the dim light of the spotlights, everything
• 1:12:45
  looked different. I told Mercedes why he looked so changed. She didn'
• 1:12:49
  t answer me and I noticed that some of the people in the lobby dressed
• 1:12:55
  in ancient fashion. I couldn' t finish my question, because Mercedes went
• 1:13:00
  to talk to another woman. I realized that I was very familiar with the
• 1:13:04
  place and that most people knew it. I thought it was because I attended
• 1:13:12
  the place very often. After a while of talking, we went to the
• 1:13:15
  room, which was old- fashioned. I thought it was part of the
• 1:13:21
  hotel' s decoration. I was deeply asleep in the room. When I
• 1:13:27
  heard that mysterious whistle again, I got in and saw that Mercedes was still
• 1:13:31
  asleep. She covered her whole body, from her feet to her head with
• 1:13:35
  the sheet. It was very strange for me to sleep that way. I
• 1:13:41
  got up to know where that sound came from. I jumped into the hall
• 1:13:45
  of the hotel and couldn' t identify him. I went back to bed,
• 1:13:49
  but I didn' t sleep. I sat down trying to understand what
• 1:13:55
  was going on with that whistle and whether I had any relationship with my father.
• 1:13:59
  No, or not to be a pero because I discovered Mercedes' body.
• 1:14:01
  I think I did it to try to kiss her on the cheek and
• 1:14:05
  what I saw made me fall out of bed. She was a long-
• 1:14:11
  haired skeleton. I knew it was Mercedes because he was wearing the same clothes
• 1:14:16
  when he got into bed, I got out of the room scared, dressed
• 1:14:21
  half way and left the hotel. I fell twice trying to run, while
• 1:14:27
  putting on my pants. I stood in front of the hotel. When the
• 1:14:32
  sun began to rise, I remained stunned without knowing what to do or think.
• 1:14:38
  I sat on the street sidewalk and soon began the village trajín. People
• 1:14:43
  were walking from one side to the other. I tried to discern what happened,
• 1:14:46
  but I couldn' t find a logical explanation at all. Suddenly it
• 1:14:51
  occurred to me to enter the lobby of the hotel and ask about Mercedes as
• 1:14:57
  soon as I entered it again I saw it different. I' m not
• 1:14:59
  not going to be wrong. Like the night before, I was so disoriented
• 1:15:02
  that a woman approached me to ask me if I was okay. I said
• 1:15:06
  no. An incredible fact of believing had happened to me. She told me
• 1:15:12
  I could tell her anything, but I didn' t dare do it out
• 1:15:15
  of fear that I thought I was crazy. I just asked him about Mercedes.
• 1:15:19
  I asked her if I knew her or if I had ever seen her,
• 1:15:25
  because she was very often at the hotel and the woman told me that
• 1:15:29
  someone could tell me Mercedes took me to a private. In a few seconds
• 1:15:34
  a man of more than seventy entered. I was so anxious that I overflowed
• 1:15:40
  into questions. The man asked me to calm down. He was going to
• 1:15:44
  explain everything to me. The man sat down and with a slow voice told
• 1:15:48
  me that Mercedes was an illusion. She was dead. Many years ago,
• 1:15:53
  but his spirit continued to wander through time. People in the village said many
• 1:15:59
  things, which were done in him satanic rituals and that she was used as
• 1:16:02
  an offering for what she died in the hands of a dagger and that her
• 1:16:08
  soul kept wandering to take away the souls of other men and other crazy things.
• 1:16:15
  He didn' t know the truth, but Mercedes had a lot of
• 1:16:18
  time, he didn' t show up for more than two decades and he
• 1:16:23
  did it with me. It was a peculiar fact, because she had never
• 1:16:27
  invited any man to sleep in any of the hotel rooms. I interrupted the
• 1:16:32
  man to describe what he had lived and he, as Mercedes, told me
• 1:16:36
  that there was no need to give him so much details. It' s
• 1:16:42
  been 40 years since she appeared to him, too. When the man revealed
• 1:16:45
  to me that he had also met her, I felt like I was going
• 1:16:49
  crazy. I told him that I also saw people who wore old clothes and
• 1:16:55
  smiled. As he passed by me, the man told me again that it
• 1:17:00
  was an extraordinary fact that had happened to me. Maybe Mercedes wanted to take
• 1:17:03
  me to live with her in eternity. I told her I might also want
• 1:17:09
  to keep my soul, but the man told me it was not her custom
• 1:17:13
  to steal a man' s soul, or maybe I stole his heart because
• 1:17:17
  he behaved differently as he usually did. I had so many questions to ask
• 1:17:25
  you, but I didn' t stop. I only made her one that
• 1:17:28
  worried me a lot because I heard a strange whistle. It was like the
• 1:17:32
  sound was announcing something to me. The man couldn' t answer me what
• 1:17:36
  the reason for that whistle was. He just told me to feel happy because
• 1:17:42
  I was born again. Maybe Mercedes' s intentions were for me to stay
• 1:17:46
  with her. The man ended up telling me that if it had dawned next
• 1:17:51
  to Mercedes, maybe I would have stayed with her forever. And I wasn
• 1:17:56
  ' t with him right now. The man said goodbye by the hand and
• 1:18:00
  left. I stayed for several days in all saints. I went to the
• 1:18:04
  restaurant where she worked. I asked the staff if they knew her. They
• 1:18:10
  replied that I did not keep digging and trying to find a logical explanation for
• 1:18:15
  what happened to me. However, I didn' t find her I called
• 1:18:19
  my friend Mario desperate and worried about what I told him. The next day
• 1:18:25
  he arrived in the village. He spent several days trying to convince me to
• 1:18:29
  go back to him, but I didn' t want to leave the place,
• 1:18:33
  because I was hoping to find Mercedes at some point. After much insisting,
• 1:18:38
  my friend convinced me, but before we left I asked him to accompany
• 1:18:42
  me to the place where we made a promise. Mercedes and I were hoping
• 1:18:45
  that being in that place might break it, but I don' t think
• 1:18:50
  I did. There' s no day I don' t remember what happened
• 1:18:54
  to me with Mercedes. I even thought maybe she' d show up any
• 1:18:59
  minute to convince me to go with her. Until now I have not been
• 1:19:03
  able to know what really happened, because I felt that Mercedes was real and
• 1:19:10
  that whistle I heard maybe was my father who was warning me that Mercedes did
• 1:19:15
  not belong to the world of the living, since when my father died it
• 1:19:18
  was the first time I heard it. I have lived in fear that at
• 1:19:23
  the least expected moment she will appear to me. But I think if it
• 1:19:28
  happened, the whistle would tell me that she' s present. I lived
• 1:19:39
  next to my parents and brothers in a colony that we had become accustomed to.
• 1:19:45
  The landlord told my parents I wasn' t going to rent their house
• 1:19:47
  anymore because I needed to sell it. My dad tried to convince the owner
• 1:19:54
  of the house to let us live in it until there was already a buyer,
• 1:19:59
  because in many or s it was not so easy to sell a home
• 1:20:02
  so quickly. However, the landlord told my dad that he could not do
• 1:20:06
  it because before selling the house it was necessary to make many repairs. We
• 1:20:14
  had no choice but to find another place to live. My mom sent me
• 1:20:18
  in the afternoons to comb the area to find a rental home. The idea
• 1:20:24
  was to find another house in the same colony. For the first few days
• 1:20:30
  I was looking in the afternoon for an unoccupied house without success, until after
• 1:20:34
  fifteen days I saw a house that caught my attention because of the color it
• 1:20:39
  had on its facade. Besides, he had an altar to the Holy Death
• 1:20:43
  in his garage. I stopped for a moment to see him closely. As
• 1:20:45
  I looked around, I saw that the apartment in front of me had the
• 1:20:51
  serrenta sign. I left quickly to tell my mother that I had finally found
• 1:20:57
  a house for rent or n o n R. I rigged the phone.
• 1:21:00
  My mom immediately phoned and made an appointment with the landlord. That afternoon,
• 1:21:08
  after my parents met with the landlord, they were happy. We were told
• 1:21:14
  it had been achieved. We already had another place to live. I didn
• 1:21:18
  ' t ask the details of the contract because I wasn' t interested.
• 1:21:21
  I was happy because it was me who got the place. The move was
• 1:21:28
  complicated. There were a lot of furniture and items we had to move.
• 1:21:31
  We did it for a weekend. The first Saturday we carry most of the
• 1:21:36
  furniture, but we stay to sleep until Sunday. I remember feeling strange in
• 1:21:43
  that new place. The one we' d live in. Besides, all
• 1:21:46
  the furniture and things were in complete disarray. I put a blanket on the
• 1:21:51
  floor to sleep. My sister and brother were younger than me. They stayed
• 1:21:56
  in the same room as my parents because they were afraid to go to sleep
• 1:22:00
  alone. The house had three bedrooms which I chose had a window facing the
• 1:22:08
  street. I fell asleep for a while because I was very tired from moving.
• 1:22:14
  It was going to be 4: 00 in the morning. When I
• 1:22:15
  woke up, as I could no longer sleep, I looked out at the
• 1:22:20
  window at the house that caught my attention in front of ours. I was
• 1:22:26
  watching for a few seconds the altar they had in the garage The Holy Death
• 1:22:30
  that was very large, like that of a two- year- old boy.
• 1:22:34
  Around him were several candlelights lit, which gave him a somewhat gloomy appearance,
• 1:22:40
  because the light illuminated very little to the holy death. I didn'
• 1:22:45
  t know why the people who lived in that house gave up that kind of
• 1:22:51
  cult that was unknown to me. I' ve been looking out for a
• 1:22:56
  while. Suddenly I saw a person jump the doorbell from the house and go
• 1:23:00
  into the altar. It was like this for a few minutes. He left
• 1:23:04
  right away. It was a fact that became very strange to me, but
• 1:23:09
  it was barely my first night in that place and I didn' t know
• 1:23:15
  people' s customs. The next day, the routine was the same.
• 1:23:17
  I was getting up early to go to high school, while my mom was
• 1:23:23
  fixing my brothers to go to elementary school. That was why my parents wanted
• 1:23:27
  to rent in the same colony, because the school was very close to us
• 1:23:31
  and my parents' work also in high school. One of my friends pointed
• 1:23:39
  to another student and told me that I lived on the same street that I
• 1:23:44
  had changed to that my friend could do it to tell me more about the
• 1:23:48
  house across the street. I had a good idea, but I didn'
• 1:23:53
  t dare do it. I didn' t know why. I woke up
• 1:23:57
  at a certain time of night I was going to sleep in the last house
• 1:24:00
  I lived in. It wasn' t the same for me. I told
• 1:24:03
  my mom what was happening to me. She told me it was about the
• 1:24:08
  change of house. She and my dad were doing the same thing, too.
• 1:24:12
  The only ones who had not resented the change were my brothers. On
• 1:24:17
  another of the nights when I had insomnia, I noticed that again a person
• 1:24:21
  would get into the garage across the house, stay a second zincated to pray
• 1:24:26
  and then leave. That time I could see a little more of that boy
• 1:24:32
  I assumed was young because of the way he skipped the ring and his way
• 1:24:38
  of dressing. Although I couldn' t see his face clearly. That boy
• 1:24:44
  started smoking a cigarette. He was turning around like he was waiting for someone
• 1:24:48
  else, and a few minutes later another young man arrived. Between them they
• 1:24:53
  talked for a few minutes and left from that night. I got involved in
• 1:24:59
  what the two boys were doing at that time of night I started paying attention
• 1:25:03
  to the people who lived in the house across the street. They looked like
• 1:25:09
  normal people, except for their clear devotion to the Holy Death, because before
• 1:25:14
  leaving anywhere, they bowed and prayed for an instant. Then they left something
• 1:25:19
  at his altar and left for their daily labors. I saw two adults who
• 1:25:26
  I assumed were the parents, a girl and a girl, who went to
• 1:25:30
  school together next to their mother. That' s where I heard my mom
• 1:25:34
  scream, because I was getting late to go to high school. I had
• 1:25:40
  been watching the neighbors that I forgot to put on my uniform right away.
• 1:25:45
  I got dressed and went to high school. When I saw that high school
• 1:25:49
  buddy who also lived on the same street. I didn' t hesitate to
• 1:25:54
  board him. My friend Javier accompanied me and I told him that I was
• 1:25:58
  new in the neighborhood and that I lived very close to his house. He
• 1:26:01
  immediately smiled at me. He told me he' d seen me, but
• 1:26:05
  he wasn' t encouraging me to talk. From that day on we became
• 1:26:10
  friends. There were times when Diego was going to pick me up at my
• 1:26:15
  house and we were talking outside his house or mine without making any more rounds.
• 1:26:19
  I asked him what he knew about the people who lived in front of
• 1:26:24
  my house. He replied that they were very strange people, they were very
• 1:26:30
  little related to the neighbors and that their beliefs, as I had surely already
• 1:26:33
  realized, were very different from ours. Diego told me that it was not
• 1:26:41
  necessary that they had an altar in the garage of their house they could do
• 1:26:45
  it inside the house. Instead, they liked to see the rest of the
• 1:26:48
  neighbors. This had caused them several problems with people who were very believers of
• 1:26:56
  God. For this reason they were not well seen on the street. They
• 1:27:00
  also believed that Satanic rituals were performed in that house, as every end of
• 1:27:04
  the month several people came to the house and stayed very late. My friend
• 1:27:12
  told me that there was little time left for the end of the month when
• 1:27:16
  people came to meet with the neighbors. I asked him to accompany me to
• 1:27:20
  keep an eye on them when that happened, to get out of doubt once
• 1:27:26
  and for all. He said yes and that we would do it together,
• 1:27:30
  but it was not possible to do it because that morning I was awakened by
• 1:27:35
  the red and blue lights of the police car, as well as the ambulance
• 1:27:40
  siren. I got up right away and many of the neighbors came out to
• 1:27:45
  see what was happening. My parents also entered my room to see from the
• 1:27:49
  window of my room. The ambulance didn' t take anyone from the family.
• 1:27:55
  I thought there was no accident, but the police aren' t leaving.
• 1:28:00
  Until the semiphoe' s van arrived, we realized someone had died.
• 1:28:05
  After they conducted the test survey, VI when they took out the four bodies
• 1:28:12
  covered with a white sheet on stretchers, I was very impressed. I didn
• 1:28:17
  ' t think all the family members would have died for several days. The
• 1:28:23
  news didn' t stop talking about the family murder. For many days,
• 1:28:29
  the street was full of reporters, researchers of curious people who wanted to meet
• 1:28:33
  the house outside. They even dared to get inside. The altar of the
• 1:28:41
  Holy Death was broken in the garage. Many pieces of the clay figure were
• 1:28:45
  left at the entrance of the house. Some of the curious people who entered
• 1:28:49
  mocked the beliefs of the people who lived in the house. They even said
• 1:28:56
  that it had happened to them as God’ s punishment. The neighbors who
• 1:29:00
  lived near the house were questioned by the police to see if they could find
• 1:29:05
  a clue and find the killers. I was anxious to tell you what I
• 1:29:11
  saw on several nights in the morning about those boys getting into the garage,
• 1:29:16
  but I didn' t dare tell you. I told my parents, but
• 1:29:21
  they didn' t want to say anything about it and they told me that
• 1:29:27
  those people were already dead anyway and any information we could give would not help
• 1:29:32
  bring them back alive. I told Diego and Javier about what I saw They
• 1:29:39
  made me a suggestion to talk to the police, but I thought they wouldn
• 1:29:43
  ' t believe me and I kept quiet. It had been a few days
• 1:29:48
  since my neighbors died. When one night I heard noises in the street,
• 1:29:54
  I looked at the clock at two and a half in the morning, the
• 1:29:58
  dogs barked a lot and I got up and looked out the window, but
• 1:30:02
  everything was quiet, at least what I could see because the dogs kept barking
• 1:30:09
  all of a sudden. I saw a man leaping at the door of the
• 1:30:12
  house across the street. Then two others did the same. I figured they
• 1:30:16
  forced the plate in the house to get in. Because I started to see
• 1:30:19
  that the light of a lamp moved inside the house. I thought about waking
• 1:30:25
  up my parents to tell them what was going on, but I stopped there
• 1:30:30
  was no one inside the house and they couldn' t do any more harm
• 1:30:34
  than they had done. I went to bed to try to sleep without getting
• 1:30:40
  it and again I looked up at the window. The light inside the house
• 1:30:43
  followed. After a few minutes the three boys came out. One thing that
• 1:30:49
  surprised me a lot and that I could see with difficulty was that the three
• 1:30:55
  of them had their faces painted in a strange way. I was a little
• 1:30:58
  disturbed to see them. One of them stopped looking at my house. I
• 1:31:01
  felt discovered and stood by the window so they wouldn' t see me.
• 1:31:08
  But I think they didn' t even notice my presence, because they pointed
• 1:31:12
  to a higher part of my house. I didn' t know what they
• 1:31:16
  saw, but between them their hands crashed and they left making a lot of
• 1:31:20
  fuss. When they left, the dogs began to calm down, stopped barking
• 1:31:28
  and the street was again in absolute silence. I was just about to go
• 1:31:32
  to bed. When I saw someone else leaving the house, I was surprised
• 1:31:36
  because I had seen three men come in and they came out. But the
• 1:31:42
  moment I paid more attention, I couldn' t believe what was in front
• 1:31:45
  of me. It was a dark shadow completely black, moving erratically. I
• 1:31:54
  was going out to the garage. Then he got in. It looked like
• 1:31:58
  he wanted to go out onto the street without getting it. He did the
• 1:32:00
  same for several minutes and suddenly went through the cancer and vanished. What came
• 1:32:06
  was someone else, it was a black spectrum that suddenly disappeared. I was
• 1:32:13
  scared and went to bed trying to understand what had happened and what had been
• 1:32:17
  what I saw was like a black spot. The next day I didn'
• 1:32:24
  t want to say anything to my parents in high school. As soon as
• 1:32:27
  I saw Javier and Diego, I told them what had happened. Diego immediately
• 1:32:30
  told me that they could be the souls of the family that died. Like
• 1:32:35
  everything happened in an abrupt way. Their spirits had not yet pierced the hereafter.
• 1:32:41
  I told my friend that maybe it wasn' t the soul of those
• 1:32:45
  people, because what I saw was a very dark black silhouette. Javier joked
• 1:32:50
  that it was because they had his dirty spirit and Diego no longer allowed him
• 1:32:56
  to continue. He told him that not even he, the ones with whom
• 1:33:00
  the longest knew what they were like, because they remained very far from all
• 1:33:04
  the neighbors. I told him that maybe it could be because of the cult
• 1:33:11
  they were giving to Holy Death. Diego nodded and told me that the following
• 1:33:14
  weekend he wanted to stay at my house to see what else was going on.
• 1:33:19
  I said yes, if his parents didn' t forbid him, he
• 1:33:24
  could stay in my room. However, events at night continued to occur.
• 1:33:30
  I don' t really know what was going on or why certain people were
• 1:33:34
  interested in entering that house, because almost every morning more people came into the
• 1:33:41
  house. Neighbors' dogs were in charge of warning that something was going on
• 1:33:45
  on the street. They were restless and barking unceasingly, as if they realized
• 1:33:50
  the presence of the spirits. On more than one occasion, my grandfather had
• 1:33:57
  told me that animals had the ability to see beings of other dimensions and could
• 1:34:02
  also smell death. Dogs primarily possessed an extraordinary sense to realize that beings of
• 1:34:11
  the spiritual world were present. That' s why I was so upset when
• 1:34:16
  I listened to them bark so desperately. That night again people entered the house,
• 1:34:23
  but before they went out I could see again the shadow that ran between
• 1:34:28
  the garage. But this time he was able to leave the house and move
• 1:34:32
  down the street. I was afraid he might see me. I walked away
• 1:34:35
  from the window and got into bed. The scandal continued on the street,
• 1:34:42
  which made me think that spectrum was still present. I was in the blankets
• 1:34:46
  for a while until everything was quiet and I could sleep. My mom felt
• 1:34:53
  when she shook me hard to get me up, because I was getting late
• 1:34:58
  to go to high school. Very little sleep. I was wreaking havoc on
• 1:35:02
  my discipline to get up early my mom before I left my room. He
• 1:35:09
  told me that a neighbor had died during the night immediately. I joined up
• 1:35:14
  and asked him who it was. He replied that he knew the neighbors very
• 1:35:17
  little, but that an elderly man had risen dead apparently. He died during
• 1:35:24
  the night because his family did not realize that he had been given a cardiac
• 1:35:30
  arrest. Until his daughter got him up. He realized he' d been
• 1:35:33
  dead for several hours. I snuck out the window outside one of the houses
• 1:35:40
  that were further to the corner. Several people had come together to support the
• 1:35:45
  bereaved relatives. I didn' t mean to think wrong, but I sensed
• 1:35:51
  that black spectrum might have been responsible for the Lord' s death because,
• 1:35:56
  as my friend told me. The spectra, being incorporeal, seek souls to
• 1:36:00
  feed on them and gradually acquire the body they had before they died. In
• 1:36:08
  high school I met my two friends. Diego was very upset. He told
• 1:36:13
  me that he had also woken up in the morning and had seen a shadow
• 1:36:17
  moving around the center of the street. We both agreed that the neighbor who
• 1:36:23
  died was because the spectrum had taken his soul. Javier was the one who
• 1:36:28
  suggested we go into the house. I told him I wouldn' t.
• 1:36:31
  Diego also answered the same thing. On our street. They said that people
• 1:36:35
  entered that house to perform satanic rituals and that the spirits of the family that
• 1:36:41
  died were still present. That was why there was much morbidness about it,
• 1:36:46
  especially by those who believed in Holy death, since she was able to bring
• 1:36:49
  anyone back to life. Javier insisted on entering the house, although realizing that
• 1:36:57
  Diego and I would not, he gave up. I told them it was
• 1:37:00
  best not to talk about death anymore, because I felt it was a way
• 1:37:04
  to attract her. The noises and demonstrations in that house did not cease every
• 1:37:12
  night. Dogs were very upset, although that time was the worst. I
• 1:37:17
  still didn' t sleep when I started to hear dogs howling in a pitiful
• 1:37:23
  way. There was a time when several cats passed through the roof of my
• 1:37:27
  house making so much fuss that my parents got up. One of my brothers
• 1:37:31
  woke up crying because the sound made by the cats was similar to many crying
• 1:37:39
  babies as I looked out at the window I saw in the front house two
• 1:37:44
  dark shadows floating on the roof of the house. On this occasion no one
• 1:37:47
  had entered the house. Those spectra moved towards the center of the street and
• 1:37:51
  remained static for a few seconds, while the fuss of dogs and cats increased.
• 1:37:58
  By then, my parents had already entered my room with their eyes wide
• 1:38:03
  open. They looked to the place where those bodyless beings were. As they
• 1:38:10
  moved and I lost sight of them. Dogs and cats calmed down. There
• 1:38:15
  was a time when calm came into the neighborhood. My parents were very upset
• 1:38:20
  about what they had seen and went to their room. It had not been
• 1:38:27
  more than ten minutes when I began to feel very cold from one moment to
• 1:38:30
  the next. The temperature had dropped rapidly. I closed the window, but
• 1:38:36
  the cold continued. I went to bed to cover myself with a blanket,
• 1:38:41
  and that was strange, because it wasn' t winter. Suddenly I heard
• 1:38:45
  noises in the closet. The hooks began to move and the doors opened.
• 1:38:51
  That dark shadow came out of my clothes, prostrated at the feet of my
• 1:38:56
  bed for a few seconds and immediately began to roll all over. Several objects
• 1:39:01
  in his path began to fall my parents. When they heard the noise,
• 1:39:06
  they went to the room, opening the door and abruptly, that dark entity
• 1:39:13
  entered my dad' s body which fell to the floor and began to convulse.
• 1:39:17
  My mom hugged me tight. We didn' t know what we could
• 1:39:23
  do while my father was on the ground. It was so much the fear
• 1:39:28
  that we had that for a brief moment my mother and I were hugged,
• 1:39:31
  but suddenly she reacted. He took the blessed rosary that my grandmother had given
• 1:39:36
  him many years ago. He put it in my dad' s chest and
• 1:39:41
  started praying, but they were rather desperate screams with his hand. She asked
• 1:39:45
  me to swell up and pray next to her. At first I couldn'
• 1:39:50
  t do it. I was so afraid of what was happening. My father
• 1:39:55
  kept convulsing and his hands twisted in a very strange way. My mother told
• 1:40:00
  me to close my eyes and pray I started doing it and my dad calmed
• 1:40:05
  down. He stopped convulsing and became unconscious, but as much as my mother
• 1:40:12
  spoke to him, he did not react. We both thought he was dead,
• 1:40:15
  although we noticed he still had vital signs. My mom called the ambulance
• 1:40:20
  service. It was necessary to wait for more than half an hour for my
• 1:40:27
  dad to be helped. The black shadow had disappeared, although the feeling of
• 1:40:30
  cold was still present. My mom went to the hospital with my dad.
• 1:40:35
  I stayed with my brothers to take care of them. They woke up to
• 1:40:40
  hear so much fuss. I went to sleep in their room to make them
• 1:40:44
  quieter. The cold in the house slowly disappeared, but it was impossible for
• 1:40:48
  me to fall asleep, as I had the feeling that at any moment that
• 1:40:55
  dark shadow would return any sound coming from the outside. I thought it was
• 1:41:00
  about her, although the dogs and cats had already calmed down. The next
• 1:41:06
  day I didn' t go to high school, nor did I raise my
• 1:41:11
  brothers. It was going to be nine in the morning. When I heard
• 1:41:14
  my mother was coming home, I felt safe, though I was surprised to
• 1:41:18
  see my dad different. I couldn' t explain how I felt When I
• 1:41:23
  saw him, he looked at me carefully and didn' t separate my eyes
• 1:41:29
  in any movement I had. I was watching myself I came up to give
• 1:41:32
  him a hug and told him that I was very happy to see what was
• 1:41:36
  right, as he had scared us out. My dad hugged me so hard,
• 1:41:42
  he wanted me off his side, and I couldn' t. I
• 1:41:45
  also felt that it was very cold. When he finally let me go while
• 1:41:48
  smiling in an extremely strange way, I turned away from his side and went
• 1:41:54
  to rest. When I was alone with my mom, I asked her what
• 1:41:59
  happened to my dad. She replied that the doctors couldn' t know what
• 1:42:03
  she had. He was told that it had been an isolated event and that,
• 1:42:08
  should the seizures return, he would be given appropriate studies. My mom
• 1:42:14
  told me that they stayed in the hospital the rest of the night to keep
• 1:42:17
  my dad under observation but that everything was fine. After what happened that night,
• 1:42:24
  the neighbors joined in to take a priest to bless the house, but
• 1:42:28
  my friend Diego did tell me that they did not allow him to enter the
• 1:42:32
  house. He stayed away, but from the place where he was, he
• 1:42:39
  got to hear wild screams coming from inside and he had a strange feeling as
• 1:42:45
  if someone was looking at him. It was so much his fear that he
• 1:42:49
  withdrew from the place. That' s why he couldn' t give me
• 1:42:53
  any more details. The house was shut down and they put wood nailed to
• 1:42:57
  the door and the window so that no more people would want to do rituals.
• 1:43:02
  Since those measures were taken, the street was quieter at night. The
• 1:43:09
  dogs stopped barking with such insistence, although there have been times when they get
• 1:43:14
  very upset for no apparent reason. However, my dad has had strange behaviors,
• 1:43:20
  such as getting up late at night and going out for a cigarette when
• 1:43:26
  he was a person who was against doing it. The moment you go out
• 1:43:30
  on the street, dogs get very upset. I think it all has to
• 1:43:35
  do with that night when the black shadow entered my dad' s body.
• 1:43:40
  I' m not sure, but I think something' s inside him.
