Espirítus Malignos: Extrañas Apariciones Demoniacas - Historias De Terror - Voces De La Noche · Niebla en el bosque con Evelith von

• 0:04
  A while ago I had to perform supervision for the remodeling of a building that
• 0:10
  was to be used as a set of departments. This building was relatively new.
• 0:16
  It was built in the 1960s, but had gone through various situations,
• 0:20
  so it had been abandoned. It had been set to be a great luxury
• 0:26
  hotel with large rooms intended for people with the most money in the city,
• 0:31
  but never managed to highlight or attract the attention of tourists. Little by little,
• 0:37
  he got sloppy until he was in very bad shape. The owner of
• 0:41
  that moment decided not to invest an additional burden in its reconstruction and sought to
• 0:46
  sell it for many years. I didn' t make it. Rumors that
• 0:50
  there was a curse on the land were too important for potential buyers, so
• 0:56
  in the end they decided not to buy it, leaving the building to deteriorate
• 1:00
  further and further, as had been left more than twenty years of abandoned.
• 1:06
  They made more and more urban legends exist about this building, so they started
• 1:11
  having problems with vandalism. Many young people broke into the place without permission to
• 1:17
  make their mark that they had managed to pass despite the ghosts, but others
• 1:21
  went into rituals. There was a time when satanic rituals were very popular,
• 1:26
  so to speak, especially in the 1980s. The building was targeted by many
• 1:34
  of these demonic believers, so little by little the decadence and bad fame of
• 1:38
  the building made it devalue until it was purchased at a laughing price. The
• 1:46
  reason I know of those things is because I work for a construction company that
• 1:49
  also manages remodeling or adaptations of places for commercial purposes by profession I am architect,
• 1:57
  but this work became a good opportunity for me, so I have already
• 2:01
  been in the remodeling market for many years. Throughout the ten years I have
• 2:07
  been working on this, I have had to live some paranormal situations or that
• 2:12
  are part of the superstitions of the people who work in this field, so
• 2:16
  I have had some complicated jobs, not because of the work itself, but
• 2:22
  because of the people involved, both workers and buyers and even the owner of
• 2:28
  the company itself. The most difficult and impacting work is precisely that of the
• 2:32
  building I have described. At first, everything seemed to go against the moment
• 2:38
  of beginning the review of the structure. It' s kind of hard to
• 2:44
  imagine, but since day one that we started taking care of the project,
• 2:47
  among the workers that we had taken to start taking out all the garbage that
• 2:53
  people had started leaving after years of vandalism, one of the cleaners gave himself
• 2:58
  an electric shock with a wire that seemed harmless. Fortunately, the worker did
• 3:04
  not die, but it was impossible for such a thing to happen, since
• 3:08
  from the beginning we had been told that the light was suspended throughout the building.
• 3:13
  As well as water service, as are projects that carry a lot of
• 3:16
  money. This accident never came out in any media and we were quick to
• 3:23
  present the remodeling project as soon as possible, because they were trying to leave
• 3:29
  the functional to start selling the spaces. I made the proposal, it was
• 3:34
  approved, and forced marches began to work. I thought after that incident,
• 3:38
  it was best to send some electrician to make sure that no other such accident
• 3:44
  was going to happen. It all went well. The first few months he
• 3:49
  took away a lot of what he didn' t serve. Some parts began
• 3:52
  to be closed and the distribution of departments established. I thought everything was quiet,
• 3:59
  but the engineer called me one afternoon to communicate very upset. A problem.
• 4:02
  The plans on the ground floor and the basement did not match what was
• 4:06
  on those floors. I went to the play right away to find out what
• 4:12
  was going on. I went to the floor one and realized that there were
• 4:15
  some walls that were too much, but I had received the plans directly from
• 4:20
  the previous owner. In the end, after a few hours of trouble with
• 4:25
  the engineer, I decided to give in and told him I was going to
• 4:29
  redo the plans. The workers went on with their business. We had to
• 4:33
  continue, so we were going to start from the second floor onwards the project.
• 4:38
  As soon as I had finished redoing the plan, I asked the engineer
• 4:42
  to accompany me to the second floor to check the structures and this reluctantly agreed
• 4:47
  to go. He didn' t like engineer Mario Alberto very well, but
• 4:53
  he had to keep working, so he was trying to be soft. Despite
• 4:56
  his character, we took two interns, if some workers to accommodate us the
• 5:00
  light in the basement. First we checked part by part, I realized that
• 5:06
  there was a lot of difference between the spaces that the map said with what
• 5:11
  it looked like. Physically, after thinking about it, permission was sent for
• 5:15
  the walls that should not be there to be thrown away. They did not
• 5:20
  attack the structure of the building, but we did not understand why there were
• 5:26
  large spaces that were closed. One was a kind of laundry that had a
• 5:30
  small space the size of a quarter of two meters by two meters, which
• 5:34
  had no door to enter. It was like it was part of a column
• 5:39
  or something on the first floor was a bigger space, but we still couldn
• 5:45
  ' t find the entrance. Everything seemed cloudy and even the fact that I
• 5:48
  had entered those floors gave me the feeling that something was wrong. Mr Mario
• 5:54
  also told me the same thing. He thought those spaces were a panic room
• 5:58
  that the designer of the building had put omitting them from the plans so that
• 6:03
  they would not be easily found by other people. As we talked about how
• 6:10
  we were going to do it, the workers had returned to the second floor
• 6:15
  to begin with the jar and the construction of the walls that would have to
• 6:18
  be put on. The work noises echoed throughout the building, because it was
• 6:21
  completely alone the two practitioners had gone to fulfill some foolishness of the engineer.
• 6:30
  Whoever loved putting them to do things didn' t matter. What was the
• 6:34
  idea was to keep them busy. When we were discussing the details of the
• 6:41
  new plans, I heard the laughter of someone very young, it was some
• 6:46
  boy or girl laughing and the echo of that laughter was heard so clear that
• 6:50
  I saw coming running towards us, the two boys. I pretended I hadn
• 6:54
  ' t heard anything. It wasn' t the first time a play had
• 6:58
  heard things. Many old buildings have their stories and even their ghosts, but
• 7:04
  it' s something we don' t have to talk about and it even
• 7:08
  has to be hidden for the sake of the company. In the end,
• 7:11
  Mr Mario Alberto forbade us to talk about the laughter of children that we had
• 7:16
  heard because if a rumor spread to the other workers, they would spread more
• 7:21
  and so there would be many uncomfortable situations around the project. In the days,
• 7:27
  one of the guys texted me directly to tell me to watch a video
• 7:31
  I had taken at the time of working in the basement. It was less
• 7:35
  than a minute. His voice was being heard saying that he was being scared
• 7:41
  that a girl was hiding behind a column. Something blurry about how he moved
• 7:46
  his hand at the time of recording, but it did seem like someone was
• 7:50
  hiding behind the column he mentioned. When I saw the video, I felt
• 7:55
  scared that feeling you have when you know you' re watching something real.
• 8:00
  Besides, this guy had no reason to do that, but I asked him
• 8:05
  to keep things between us as we had already agreed, although the one who
• 8:09
  decided it was mario. After those messages I began to receive calls telling me
• 8:16
  that some masons were saying they didn' t want to go to work anymore,
• 8:22
  that they didn' t care whether they had finished paying or not,
• 8:26
  that there were weird things going on while they were doing their jobs. They
• 8:31
  decided to hold a meeting when the owner of the building asked the owner directly
• 8:37
  if the rumor that had come to him was true. We all gathered in
• 8:41
  the building to give a tour to the boss to show him that the advances
• 8:46
  were going well and that, moreover, what they said was happening in the
• 8:50
  building was only caused by superstitions that had remained after the abandonment of the construction.
• 8:56
  That Monday morning, we both arrived. Early we began to monitor very
• 9:03
  carefully the work of each person. I was reviewing the last touches of the
• 9:07
  proposal for the basement and floor one. At the moment we were not late
• 9:11
  with the dates, but those who said they had problems with the scares that
• 9:16
  gave them when they were working did not want to go on. Two of
• 9:22
  the fifteen hired had disappeared, leaving us the job. We were just going
• 9:26
  to take care of talking to everyone to calm their fear. When passing through
• 9:31
  the second floor, where the renovations were more advanced, one of the lights
• 9:37
  that had been put on to illuminate the corridor between the apartments was detached.
• 9:41
  It' ll look like Chiche, but everyone we were present heard a laugh.
• 9:48
  He didn' t hurt anyone with the fallen lamp, but he didn
• 9:50
  ' t do anything to him. Of grace to the owner of the builder,
• 9:54
  who thought we were doing everything we could to finish the business. The
• 9:58
  things that were followed or two tense. The investor was upset. I thought
• 10:03
  we weren' t going to do a good job' cause things were falling
• 10:07
  off. That' s why the owner got especially hard on all the procedures.
• 10:13
  In addition, we had it very often in construction reviewing progress. Little
• 10:18
  by little they began to see delays. Things happened with the materials. The
• 10:24
  walls were spoiled They didn' t seem to dry properly. The masons had
• 10:30
  a group where videos of the paranormal things that happened more than one went on.
• 10:35
  He had taken a horrible scare when they saw the shadow of children running
• 10:41
  through the dark corridors. They also came to see how some things moved on
• 10:46
  their own, especially shovels. They looked like they were playing with them.
• 10:50
  They were not particularly scary videos, because it seemed that the shovels were moving
• 10:56
  through the air, but it was impossible for the air to enter the basement,
• 11:01
  as the spectra were harmless. The head of the play and I turned
• 11:05
  a blind eye to things, omitting that sometimes the works had to be stopped
• 11:11
  for hours because there was no way to make the mixer work. By the
• 11:16
  end of long eight months, the structure had taken shape. We missed finishes
• 11:22
  and above all the basement, as well as floor one, which was where
• 11:26
  most setbacks were going on. I moved my office to floor one. From
• 11:31
  there we began to supervise the work more directly. It was also a way
• 11:35
  of putting pressure. We needed to finish the job in three more months.
• 11:41
  Being directly in the building, I could understand how people who work here every
• 11:46
  day felt. It was a suffocating sensation that seemed to disappear as you climbed
• 11:54
  floor by floor. After the fourth floor, he didn' t feel anything
• 11:58
  there The jobs knew two. First. Now I was faced with having to
• 12:03
  go to bear Mr Mario' s bad temper, who had more years working
• 12:09
  in the company. Certain powers were given that did not belong to him.
• 12:15
  I stayed to work on other things I needed to fix in the office installed
• 12:20
  on the first floor. I kept working there because I wanted to see that
• 12:24
  I was wrong with the troubled floors. One afternoon I stayed with the night
• 12:28
  shift workers. They were in charge of finishing changing the wiring because everything was
• 12:35
  full of something weird like something sticky, more like those children' s toys
• 12:39
  that stick everywhere in the civil protection. He couldn' t tell us what
• 12:46
  it was. So there was the report that there was too much humidity in
• 12:50
  the building and some more things had to be changed. I was writing the
• 12:54
  appropriate reports to update the chief because Mr Engineer had decided to get sick suddenly
• 13:01
  when there was more work. Practitioners did what they could, but without my
• 13:07
  or the engineer' s permission, they couldn' t do much. I
• 13:13
  was upset about all this nonsense and I was going out for a cigarette.
• 13:16
  I sat on the stairs trying to keep my mind blank. It took me
• 13:20
  my time of mental recovery. Although I heard some sounds on the stairs to
• 13:26
  the basement, I tried to ignore them. I couldn' t do it
• 13:28
  anymore. When I heard that they were small footprints the ones that resounded echoing
• 13:35
  on the stairs were heard very clearly. I took with one hand the crucifix
• 13:39
  I used to use asking God to protect me. I got up to go
• 13:43
  back to the office. I looked up because I felt a little dirt fell
• 13:48
  on me that I shook without giving it any importance, but a little head
• 13:54
  popped in the bend of the ladder. The next floor, I began to
• 13:58
  tell myself that if I didn' t tie her up with the uer,
• 14:01
  she would disappear, that if I saw her it was to give her power,
• 14:05
  that she did show me fear. More things were going to happen.
• 14:07
  So, even though I felt all over my body the rigidity that scares you,
• 14:11
  I slowly returned to my place, but the sounds kept listening. It
• 14:18
  sounded like things were rolling. I got to the office and pulled the door,
• 14:22
  but it didn' t open. After moving it, I was sure
• 14:26
  several times that I left it open and the keys were inside. I calmed
• 14:31
  down and said whoever was playing a joke would open up or win a good
• 14:35
  problem, but no one answered me. That scared me more. Besides,
• 14:41
  it was impossible for anyone of the workers to want to make a joke so
• 14:46
  I struggled with the door a little longer, so Harta went straight to the
• 14:52
  second floor to ask for an disarmer and a hammer to break the doorplate.
• 14:54
  Angel, a new boy, told me he was helping me open the door
• 14:58
  so he wouldn' t fight. I took his help and we went down
• 15:03
  to the first floor. When we got to the office, it was open.
• 15:07
  Many of the papers were in disarray. I began to say curses,
• 15:13
  asking who was doing all that. Within me it was evident that something supernatural
• 15:18
  was happening. It was impossible for anyone to do that without leaving footprints or
• 15:24
  without us hearing anything. My angel, who was coming with me, had
• 15:30
  heard someone leave and it had not taken me more than ten minutes to climb
• 15:33
  up and get down pityed by my anger angel told me that he could help
• 15:39
  me pick up the papers and that I could accommodate them little by little,
• 15:43
  but I told him not to worry and I was going to start cleaning up
• 15:46
  the mess. Everything was lying down and although no paper or anything had been
• 15:50
  spoiled, if it was all messy and I couldn' t leave everything like
• 15:56
  that, when I was picking up, I noticed that there was more time
• 16:00
  than normal and on the computer monitor I saw clearly the fingerprints of a child
• 16:04
  were small with thin fingers. No one with those hands was in the building
• 16:10
  I swallowed saliva and angel noticed it. He looked at the prints persing himself
• 16:15
  and told me that they were the children who had been showing up during the
• 16:19
  jobs. The next day I returned ready for the work to be finished,
• 16:25
  even if Mr Mario was not there, so I summoned the workers. In
• 16:29
  the basement I told them they were going to throw down the walls to leave
• 16:33
  the free space that the power plant had already arrived, so they didn'
• 16:37
  t have to be struggling with the equipment being shut down. It was a
• 16:42
  peculiar experience. Some strange things were heard, the devices were disconnected by themselves.
• 16:48
  It took more work to pull one of the walls and more and more
• 16:52
  trouble to not finish. The basement. They regularly went up to the office
• 16:57
  to warn me of a new problem. Even a pipe had been drilled something
• 17:03
  in the building, I didn' t want us to uncover the room that
• 17:08
  wasn' t specified in the plane. On the second floor there hadn'
• 17:11
  t been that much trouble. We just made sure there was no entrance or
• 17:15
  exit and we covered it all up. If you looked well, you understood
• 17:19
  that this was not an empty space, but we had no more time to
• 17:25
  throw everything away and rebuild. But as the parking lot was bound to stay
• 17:29
  in the basement, it was necessary to finish leaving everything free for the drawers
• 17:34
  of the carts. After everything that happened, one of the biggest workers told
• 17:40
  me that they could pray to the souls of those who were obstructing the work.
• 17:45
  Since there was nothing else to try to join me in the request.
• 17:48
  They got some candles in a nearby store. They were placed in the form
• 17:53
  of a cross and we all asked permission to let us finish the work.
• 17:57
  While we asked for that, the candlelight flames danced without any air flow.
• 18:03
  After a couple of parents prayed, our Marybirds left the candlelights on an improvised
• 18:08
  altar away from where they were going to start throwing down the walls. Little
• 18:15
  by little they were yielding one by one the walls and arriving at the hidden
• 18:18
  place. When the first part of the wall fell, we all witnessed a
• 18:23
  girl' s face lurking through the hole. We all went back, some
• 18:29
  cursing and others asking God was a child. We saw a little girl in
• 18:36
  there, they tossed more pieces with some browns to see if there was anyone
• 18:40
  or something. We had to be sure as the pieces fell. I looked
• 18:44
  up every now and then to see if there was anything, but there was
• 18:48
  nothing. When they put a flashlight into space, they realized it was a
• 18:52
  room with internal stairs facing the second floor. Both spaces were connected. Some
• 19:00
  of the previous owners had sent to do that secretly or from the beginning it
• 19:04
  was planned. It looked like a panic room of those who are built to
• 19:11
  take refuge. When some danger passes, the whole wall was broken down and
• 19:15
  it became clear that the room had been used. There were some old soda
• 19:21
  containers, cans of vegetables, clothes full of dirt and broken soil. A
• 19:26
  worker went up to the top to check that it was safe to climb those
• 19:30
  old metal stairs upstairs. There wasn' t much, but it suspiciously smelled
• 19:37
  like dead. I didn' t know if it was for the time it
• 19:41
  had been closed or for something else. I called some acquaintances to come in
• 19:44
  for a secret expert. We did not want the idea that an uncomfortable discovery
• 19:48
  had occurred for the delivery of the work. They didn' t find anything.
• 19:56
  The smell was for an unknown reason. They speculated that it was p
• 20:00
  for the amount of cans or things that were edible before. So we went
• 20:03
  on with the play while they cleaned up. I saw that the access to
• 20:07
  that room was originally from the top, but that the entrance had been covered
• 20:11
  by making a new wall. Someone had hidden that room very carefully. In
• 20:18
  the end everything was thrown, the play was delivered and everyone forgot everything.
• 20:23
  But I have my own conclusions about all that, because until the last of
• 20:29
  the days we were there, children' s footsteps and even their laughter continued
• 20:33
  to be heard. A plaster worker was scared in the bathroom by a girl
• 20:37
  who opened the door to him. So, by remembering the amount of clothes
• 20:41
  we found in the secret rooms and that a lot was small, I think
• 20:47
  someone did terrible things to a little girl there. The worst thing is that
• 20:51
  I think it wasn' t just a girl, because the laughs are several.
• 20:55
  In addition, silhouettes of young children have been seen in the hallways.
• 20:57
  It' s awful to think about what could happen there so those kids can
• 21:03
  still be trapped in that place. Not even the prayer we made could help
• 21:07
  them get out of that cycle of prison in which they find themselves. I
• 21:11
  think their ghosts hang around because they didn' t know very well what was
• 21:15
  happening to them. They may not even know they died. It' s
• 21:19
  sad to imagine, but it' s even more so to think that they
• 21:25
  found no evidence of anything, so you can' t investigate anything or look
• 21:27
  for them. In the end they' re going to stay there unless someone
• 21:30
  confesses something from the past or between the foundations find something that can give an
• 21:36
  indication of why they' re still in those corridors. I' m a
• 21:45
  runner. I work in a cleaning equipment sales company, but in my spare
• 21:48
  time I do sports to relax. It was already customary for me to go
• 21:55
  running on weekends or during my vacation I also participated in the open house of
• 22:00
  several kilometers. As I say, it' s a hobby I' ve
• 22:06
  taken very seriously. That' s why, first of all, I'
• 22:08
  m a runner and I enjoy it very much. There was a time when
• 22:11
  I was in my thirties that I started to make a route to run in
• 22:15
  the ravine of Cuentita, a very famous place to go hiking in Guadalajara.
• 22:21
  It was a year after the closure of the pandemic that I decided to go
• 22:26
  for a run on a Friday. I wasn' t going to celebrate with
• 22:29
  family or friends. I was very exhausted by personal situations that hit me all
• 22:33
  year. I was at that moment when he doesn' t want to know
• 22:38
  about anyone The best thing was to get away and wait for things to get
• 22:42
  better over time. I remember I woke up very early. I took my
• 22:48
  supplements, put on the clothes I liked the most to go for a run.
• 22:51
  I grabbed my car and just told him I' d run off to
• 22:55
  Licet, the girl who was supporting me at work as a secretary. I
• 23:00
  got there about eight in the morning. There were some people, so I
• 23:03
  put on the hearing aids so I wouldn' t let them talk to me.
• 23:07
  I wanted to run alone and I saw that several went in those groups
• 23:11
  that are clubs of people who come together to run. I approached the descent
• 23:15
  as usual. I started to warm up a little. I was thinking about
• 23:21
  a lot of things, so I was focused. I didn' t realize
• 23:25
  I left my cell phone in my pants and not on the bracelet I left
• 23:27
  it on. It was a cold morning. Little by little. I stopped
• 23:32
  seeing many people, as many stayed halfway because of the intense rise back.
• 23:38
  The place was dry, you could see the grass and the brown trees.
• 23:44
  It was all kind of a dead nature. I' ve been on my
• 23:48
  way. He had two liters of water and a cereal bar in his backpack.
• 23:52
  I felt bad by myself. The road made me feel more tired and
• 23:56
  tired than I expected. Honestly, a lot of thought about how many bad
• 24:00
  things went through my head. I was hoping to get it over with at
• 24:04
  some point, and I figured that might be a good place. It would
• 24:10
  take them to find me, and besides, only lis knew where I was.
• 24:12
  We were on vacation so I wouldn' t see her until three days
• 24:17
  later, a good time for things to end. I kept running and for
• 24:22
  a while I was jogging about how hard the descent was. It was also
• 24:26
  suffocating to think I was really in a very bad mental situation and I am
• 24:32
  very sorry that I thought about dying. Maybe that' s why I got
• 24:33
  lost. When I came to a place deep into the ravine, the road
• 24:37
  was no longer clear. It was obvious that very little or almost no people
• 24:44
  were passing by. Instead of stopping, I kept walking, watching that there
• 24:48
  was no one and I figured that even some animal could do something to me.
• 24:52
  But the most important thing would be to find a suitable place to do
• 24:57
  what he was convinced he wanted. While I was walking, I was planning
• 25:02
  on how and with what. The afternoon gave me full sun on high burned
• 25:04
  my face, but I didn' t want to see what. Time was
• 25:08
  rarely hungry either and I was plunged into something that didn' t seem to
• 25:15
  have come back for long. Then I found a place nearby and it was
• 25:19
  the river. I will not tell the details of what happened to the people
• 25:22
  who are going to know my story, but it made clear that I am
• 25:27
  not an especially negative person. I just felt a lot worse on that day
• 25:32
  because it was supposed to be the end to restart everything with a lot of
• 25:37
  possibilities, because that' s what the new year is about, but I
• 25:41
  didn' t feel like I had any chance. It was another year I
• 25:42
  spent. It was only a while and the sun felt less intense and the
• 25:48
  cold air water caused the temperature to drop. After an internal struggle. Realizing
• 25:53
  what I was trying to do, I fortunately could slow down my thoughts.
• 26:00
  I knew I had to eat something to start the climb because it was going
• 26:04
  to be difficult and without eating more than an energy bar and I was running
• 26:08
  out of water. So I could sort of hold on. I started going
• 26:12
  up fast. When I realized the sun seemed to be hiding. Pretty soon
• 26:17
  I looked up my cell phone to see the GPS. I needed to find
• 26:22
  a short route because it was going to catch up with me at night.
• 26:26
  I didn' t have my phone. He was still wearing his hearing aids,
• 26:30
  but he didn' t remember when the music stopped playing. Maybe a
• 26:33
  lot of miles back he had dropped his cell phone. There was no other
• 26:37
  way I' d go back where I came from. I was trying to
• 26:41
  remember as much as I could, but because of the mental situation I had.
• 26:45
  I didn' t remember many parts, so I was guided by common
• 26:49
  sense. So I came to a very steep area to climb, but a
• 26:53
  small road was spotted higher up. Perhaps he had found the main road and
• 26:59
  if so, it would be easier to climb. I went up the edge
• 27:03
  of the stones and the moment I saw the dirt road, I also saw
• 27:07
  a couple of men, about four or five that were moving some bags.
• 27:11
  I wanted to come back because it wasn' t a good sign to see
• 27:15
  something like that in the middle of nowhere, but I slipped and went down
• 27:18
  rolling. It wasn' t such a high place. The problem is that
• 27:22
  I fell down, or at least that' s what I think, because
• 27:26
  my right ankle was broken by the force of standing down. I' m
• 27:30
  sure I gave a horrible scream for the pain I fainted. I don'
• 27:34
  t know how long it took for me to wake up, but it was
• 27:38
  night. I didn' t see anything and I felt some animals running through
• 27:42
  my body. I moved as I could to touch my ankle. I felt
• 27:47
  like my ankle was totally moved, so I cursed my luck, because if
• 27:51
  I was going to die, I didn' t want it to be like
• 27:52
  that. I took off the little backpack that I was carrying there I kept
• 27:59
  everything in place I just threw it away with water. I was totally deformed
• 28:02
  by the fall. I was stirring my backpack trying to find something to light
• 28:07
  me up, but I wasn' t wearing anything. There he had hidden
• 28:11
  the wallet, there was only the cereal bar and the thermos for the totally
• 28:15
  deformed water. I looked everywhere. I couldn' t tell much. The
• 28:19
  moon was almost completely dark. The stars looked amazingly, but they didn'
• 28:26
  t help me guide me to some tree. Since I could pull out a
• 28:30
  good stick to serve as a cane, I crawled to a huge stone.
• 28:36
  That' s where I got loaded. I didn' t know what to
• 28:38
  do. All I had left was to wait for Ali to wonder if he
• 28:42
  was okay. I' d lie if I said I wasn' t scared,
• 28:48
  because I was scared and I looked everywhere. If I didn' t
• 28:52
  find an animal, maybe they' d be the guys that were moving bags.
• 28:56
  Higher up the darkness seemed to play jokes on me, for among the
• 29:02
  weeds I could see moving figures. The silence made me feel very strong the
• 29:06
  movements of some animals between the leaves or branches of nearby trees. First I
• 29:12
  looked at something like a yellow teary eye. Looking at me in the distance
• 29:18
  all that darkness wouldn' t let me shape what it was. That could
• 29:22
  be a Tlacuache or something much bigger. It moved from one side to the
• 29:26
  other with a winding shape and that put me on alert. I moved my
• 29:30
  arms to the sides while looking forward. I looked for some stones and started
• 29:36
  putting it close to me. I thought if I was going to get attacked
• 29:40
  by some animal, at least I' d fight and I could stone him
• 29:42
  to death. The animal did not approach, only seemed to meander from one
• 29:47
  side after a while. I didn' t see him anymore, but the
• 29:52
  noise of something running through the dry plants put me on notice. Something was
• 29:56
  stalking me. I began to sweat cold, but at the same time the
• 30:00
  temperatura was so low that I felt my legs in a slumber, especially the
• 30:04
  one damaged by the fall. Fortunately, it does not snow in Guadalajara nor
• 30:11
  are the temperatures so extreme. I knew I wouldn' t die of that.
• 30:15
  The problem would be water or animals that could smell my blood. I
• 30:19
  lasted a long time with the adrenaline ready to fight any animal, but nothing
• 30:25
  happened and the lack of food and injury started to pass me bill I felt
• 30:30
  dizzy, so with the numbness, without realizing it, I fell asleep,
• 30:33
  although it could also be a fainting woke up. When I heard some whispers,
• 30:41
  I panicked thinking they were going to make those men suspicious. I held
• 30:45
  on to my stones waiting for them to pass by. I had nothing to
• 30:48
  reflect with the light. So the darkness was hiding me well. The whispers
• 30:53
  followed and slowly I felt it closer, but the people who came out,
• 30:57
  those s sns, never appeared. I thought I was hearing things from the
• 31:03
  crash, and I was content to know that I was saved from finding someone
• 31:07
  who could leave me much worse than I was. I heard the sound of
• 31:12
  water running. I' m sure it was still near the river, but
• 31:17
  I hadn' t noticed. I began to get colder and colder until I
• 31:21
  stopped feeling my lips. I started blaming myself I thought that was happening to
• 31:26
  me because I was looking for him. I had a good time of internal
• 31:30
  fighting again because of the feeling of guilt, courage and impotence. It was
• 31:34
  silly to go running, get lost and end up with a broken ankle.
• 31:40
  My chances of survival were very low. So, falling into my reality,
• 31:45
  for the first time in my life, I was afraid of dying I began
• 31:49
  to ask God, someone with whom I had not spoken for a long time,
• 31:55
  wanted a miracle. If he' d never listened to me, I
• 31:59
  thought that was a good time for him to show up or something to help
• 32:02
  me get out of where I was. I also remembered my late mother and
• 32:06
  started asking her to help me if I could. In the midst of all
• 32:09
  my thoughts, I remembered that my mother was very devoted to the souls of
• 32:15
  purgatory. She said they were very miraculous. I didn' t remember a
• 32:22
  single prayer or our father' s, so I started improvising. As I
• 32:25
  could. I was completely broken mentally the cold was numb and at the end
• 32:31
  of a long time, I thought it best to leave without putting any more
• 32:36
  resistance. As I let myself be carried away by the feeling of coldness in
• 32:40
  the body. The pain was slowly yielding until it became somewhat distant and those
• 32:44
  eyes I had seen before met mine again in the darkness. Those yellow eyes
• 32:52
  stood out along with others who saw me I closed my eyes abandoned to death.
• 32:58
  I knew if I wasn' t feeling the pain in my leg anymore,
• 33:02
  I was sure to leave soon. In the end, my thoughts were
• 33:06
  about my mother, praying sitting on the bedside. She in a robe with
• 33:10
  her hands together on request prayed for all those souls who had died in pain
• 33:16
  and could not get out of their suffering. I remember telling him that I
• 33:21
  was one of those souls and in pain I asked him to help me stop
• 33:24
  suffering, to come for me to take me back in his arms. In
• 33:30
  the middle of the darkness, I began to see that little lights were moving.
• 33:34
  I thought they were fireflies. It was to see a lot of little
• 33:37
  dots of light. In the middle of the dark I thought I was dreaming.
• 33:40
  When I saw the lights move around me, I stopped feeling the pain
• 33:45
  completely and I didn' t feel scared either. Animals were heard, but
• 33:50
  I no longer felt it close. Even the insects that were climbing my body
• 33:54
  everywhere stopped moving. I didn' t really feel it anymore I thought I
• 34:01
  was dead. The lights came and went when I closed my eyes completely.
• 34:06
  They seemed to shine a little more, so I opened my eyes to know
• 34:10
  what was going on. A little light approached the front of my face.
• 34:15
  I took strength to touch her and I wasn' t surprised. When I
• 34:20
  passed through the rumors of voices, they heard each other again. I started
• 34:23
  raising my voice. It didn' t matter who it was. Maybe they
• 34:28
  could help me, so I was asking for help, but they didn'
• 34:31
  t seem to listen to me. The voices kept talking to each other in
• 34:35
  the distance. I heard something was running later, some squealing sounds and a
• 34:40
  lot of dirt fell on me with it. There came a stunned rabbit who
• 34:45
  hit my face with a few coughing kicks because of all the dust I felt
• 34:50
  while I was scaring the animal from the body I was still not half shaken.
• 34:53
  When he fell on my other rabbit. They were fighting as I lifted
• 35:00
  the polvadera and as I could, I began to signal them. As I
• 35:02
  told them to leave by mistake, I moved my leg and when that happened
• 35:07
  I screamed for the pain. Then I knew he was alive. The lights
• 35:12
  began to appear in the distance. I felt like something bad was gonna happen
• 35:16
  to me. The pain in the foot was strong, but he endured to
• 35:20
  make no noise, because those lights seemed to move when he spoke. They
• 35:23
  moved very slowly and disappeared as the murmurs came and went, so I realized
• 35:29
  that they were the ones talking. I was surprised to think that, but
• 35:36
  I had all the logic of the world, so I decided to speak to
• 35:39
  them I told them that I did not want to die, that they would
• 35:45
  help me among the distant murmurs. I heard they were telling me something like
• 35:46
  nothing' s gonna happen to you. We' re here. The light,
• 35:50
  little by little, was concentrating as if it were a flashlight at night.
• 35:53
  Very tenuous and at one point I understood within myself that I had to
• 35:58
  follow that, but with him the foot so hurt doubted, I endured the
• 36:02
  pain and started crawling among the earth the stones and all there was, I
• 36:07
  moved slowly and the light seemed to turn into small flashes. From afar,
• 36:13
  that dim light looked like a person walking. At that time I didn'
• 36:17
  t ask myself anything or doubted just wanted to get out of the ravine alive,
• 36:22
  so for some reason I fully trusted that semi- transparent entity that guided
• 36:28
  me in the dark. In a moment, tiredness overcame me, so I
• 36:31
  threw myself face down to sleep with a glance. I could see that the
• 36:36
  light of day was near, but I was already despairing at the feeling that
• 36:39
  I was not getting anywhere. Tiredness was too powerful. The hunger and thirst
• 36:45
  had made me dumb. I woke up getting my face out of the leaves.
• 36:51
  I had felt that something touched my back delicately I looked up at where
• 36:55
  I saw that figure go, but there was nothing. The dark of the
• 37:00
  early morning, that blue darkness, which was accompanied by a light layer of
• 37:06
  fog, which is very characteristic of the sunrises. In that place, among
• 37:10
  that haze, the trees felt strange. It was like being in a different
• 37:15
  place. Also the feeling of cold or numbness was no longer there and I
• 37:21
  joined up until I felt missed my idea everywhere. I could see the river
• 37:25
  behind a bunch of small trees. I had to get to the river.
• 37:30
  They' d find me there faster, because they wouldn' t know where
• 37:36
  I was. I had to move quickly, as my energies were running out
• 37:40
  and I felt my legs shaking, but I could still stand up with difficulty.
• 37:46
  I walked around my leg hurt a lot less than I thought. It
• 37:50
  would hurt if I supported her a little to get her to walk. I
• 37:54
  never looked at the state of my ankle. I was immediately focused on the
• 38:00
  small road to get to where I knew the river was. As I walked,
• 38:04
  I began to see some silhouettes hidden between the trees. I didn'
• 38:08
  t recognize it to be that, but I wasn' t afraid. After
• 38:10
  two or three silhouettes I could see, I realized they were people. His
• 38:16
  silhouettes were seen as men or women, and some had clothes I could think
• 38:22
  of was modern, others had old clothes, mistreated and even that seemed to
• 38:27
  be from a few years ago slow and with safe passage, I arrived at
• 38:32
  the end of that path without seeing again the lights or the white figure that
• 38:37
  was indicating the way. The morning light hit me full in the eyes.
• 38:39
  I woke up lying near the river. I couldn' t get up and
• 38:44
  my leg was so pricked that I felt like all my blood was going out
• 38:49
  there. However, despite the pain, I was no longer afraid of the
• 38:55
  assurance that I would soon be in my house. I twisted to settle down,
• 39:01
  at least sideways, so that the sun wouldn' t hurt my eyes
• 39:05
  and the moment I turned to my left, a cereal bar came out.
• 39:09
  I looked at her for a long time tempted to eat her, because the
• 39:14
  hunger was already too much, but I thought about what I dreamt or hallucinated
• 39:17
  about all those people who were there while I reached the riverbank. Those people
• 39:22
  or beings of nature were owed my thanks, found me or had not helped
• 39:29
  me to reach a place where at least I would have access to water so
• 39:32
  as not to die dehydrated. I put my hands together with the bar.
• 39:37
  I thanked them with all my soul for protecting me during the night. Then
• 39:42
  I put the bar as far away as I could, telling them that,
• 39:45
  for the moment, that was something I could leave them as a gift for
• 39:50
  their help. I fell asleep almost immediately waiting for someone to come for me,
• 39:53
  and so it was at the hours of that prayer, thanking them.
• 39:59
  The proté civilians found me, they gave me first aid. They put my
• 40:05
  body on a stretcher so I could move without hurting my leg anymore. I
• 40:08
  felt everything very slow, maybe because of dehydration or something, but surely what
• 40:14
  I will remember forever are not firefighters. It' s the image I saw
• 40:19
  in the weeds somewhere far away from where we were there. Again, a
• 40:23
  silhouette was hidden between the leaves and the branches. He was watching me leave.
• 40:29
  I thanked him for his help and that silhouette came back and behind it
• 40:32
  I could see that the plants were moving like something was going on. Without
• 40:37
  thinking how much I was sure those other figures I had seen the night before,
• 40:43
  now that I was saved, could go back to where they were.
• 40:49
  When I asked about Cereal' s bar that I had left by my side,
• 40:52
  they all answered the same thing. There was nothing around me. When
• 40:57
  several arrived, my comment was taken as a joke. They thought it was
• 41:00
  part of my sense of humor, but I wanted to know that they had
• 41:06
  accepted that little offering for what they had made for me after that experience.
• 41:10
  I' ve been looking for some explanations to what I saw. Some people
• 41:14
  who dedicate themselves to shamanism tell me that they could be the beings of the
• 41:19
  elements. They had led me to be safe because it wasn' t my
• 41:22
  time yet. Other people tell me that they had been the dead, that
• 41:27
  I invoked in remembering my mother and that perhaps that white figure was the spirit
• 41:31
  known as the soul alone, a very miraculous entity that can even save those
• 41:37
  who are very faithful to them from death. The most frightening answer I have
• 41:40
  been given was a lady who assures me that they are the souls of the
• 41:45
  deceased who died in that place that now seek to save other souls, as
• 41:51
  they could not save them. After these years, I still can' t
• 41:54
  imagine any of those explanations being the real one, but I' d like
• 42:00
  to think that my mother somehow looked for the way back just to be able
• 42:04
  to give me a little more time. In this world, relatives come for
• 42:13
  you when it' s time for you to die. I heard my grandmother
• 42:15
  talking to someone during a relative' s funeral that I don' t remember
• 42:21
  anymore. She always told me to pay her homage to our deceased, because
• 42:24
  they were waiting for us to meet with us. The tradition of the noveniaries
• 42:31
  was almost cult in my house and special prayers were also made during the important
• 42:37
  celebrations of the year, such as Christmas or New Year. That was something
• 42:42
  I didn' t understand very well, but over time I came to understand
• 42:46
  when she passed away from it two years ago. Just my grandmother, Margarita,
• 42:52
  was my dad' s mom. My mom had died when I was
• 42:55
  born, so she took care of raising me along with my brother. My
• 43:00
  mom had had a pregnancy before my brother Manuel' s, and everything had
• 43:05
  gone well. When she started going to the doctor, when she found out
• 43:08
  she was pregnant again, two years after my brother' s birth, she
• 43:14
  had not been detected by her heart problem. She passed away at the time
• 43:17
  of coming home with me. My grandmother was very close to my mom,
• 43:22
  since she had no family, so she also had my mom' s photograph
• 43:27
  hanging on the wall where she made the family album. Where the great-
• 43:31
  grandparents were on their wedding day. The dead are still with you, they
• 43:37
  say goodbye to you, they help you in some difficult times. She said,
• 43:42
  they wait in glory for those who loved in life. My grandmother was
• 43:45
  very Catholic, because she grew up in that environment, since her father'
• 43:50
  s family was very religious, there were even several relatives dedicated to being parents
• 43:54
  or nuns. She did not develop that taste, but she was very spirit
• 44:00
  and full of love for the way she talked to me about the ancestors.
• 44:05
  I was not afraid, like other children, of seeing a ghost. I
• 44:08
  wanted to see my mom. I wanted her to come meet me, because
• 44:13
  she was already a big girl. But it' s very different if they
• 44:15
  tell you that than it does. When I was twenty- two years old,
• 44:21
  my mother Margarita began to have problems with her legs, they all swelled
• 44:25
  up, took her and eventually arrived at the doctor very late because of her
• 44:29
  foolishness. When she was hospitalized, nothing could be done for her kidneys stopped
• 44:32
  working and she started going to the hospital to wash her blood three days a
• 44:37
  week. The wear and tear seemed obvious to me and I began to prepare
• 44:45
  for the farewell suffered from seeing her suffer. The months passed and she stayed
• 44:47
  in a state not very good, but she kept fighting. I found it
• 44:54
  surprising, so I asked her if she could do anything for her to relieve
• 44:59
  her pain. She or she answered that nothing. That I didn' t
• 45:01
  worry, because she knew that soon she was going to know it so directly
• 45:07
  made me break into tears, one thing was to think that that was going
• 45:12
  to happen and another very different thing was to hear her say that I was
• 45:16
  just waiting for the time to come. She told me that she knew,
• 45:19
  because the last night she had been hospitalized, when she was told that her
• 45:23
  signs had stopped working, she could hear my mom' s voice in the
• 45:28
  distance, looking for her skin. I' ve got it up. I
• 45:31
  remembered their stories about relatives coming before someone' s death, but that had
• 45:37
  been more than three months ago, so I took a little pity on their
• 45:40
  situation. I thought I was probably hallucinating. I even told the doctor and
• 45:45
  they did some tests which they threw out that, indeed, something bad was
• 45:52
  going on with her. His sugar levels were very high against his struggle and
• 45:55
  even his tears. My dad took her to the hospital. He needed treatment
• 46:02
  soon if he wanted to save himself to live a little longer. She looked
• 46:06
  tired. It was the only time in my life I saw her upset with
• 46:10
  me for not interceding the moment my dad made the decision to leave her in
• 46:15
  the hospital. As the doctor indicated, she told me that she would go
• 46:20
  away from her family, from the ground where she was born, her father,
• 46:23
  from the house where she had come to sow the first cob to her
• 46:27
  grandmother. It broke my heart, but I had to see her at the
• 46:30
  hospital. I took care of her every day on the schedule that didn'
• 46:36
  t interfere with college classes. Little by little she showed signs of improvement,
• 46:39
  but she didn' t seem happy. She spent a lot more quiet time
• 46:45
  next to me than, as usual, was the bed she was in.
• 46:49
  The room didn' t help me to make her feel lively. She was
• 46:52
  overshadowed by sadness. Every person who had the opportunity also asked the doctor if
• 46:58
  he could go home. Time passed. The two weeks they were going to
• 47:04
  do control had become a month. Meanwhile, my grandmother looked older, getting
• 47:07
  tired. It was rare to see her sometimes rejuvenated as a child while chatting
• 47:15
  with some acquaintance who was going to visit her hemodialysis partners or close friends who
• 47:21
  were still alive. But it was even rarer to see her age as she
• 47:25
  slept or remained silent for a long time, her skin looked more wrinkled.
• 47:30
  It was to see the depth of all the wrinkles, making it look like
• 47:35
  some kind of paper doll. I also began to perceive that its natural aroma
• 47:39
  changed. Now the medicine mix won' t let me smell your colony at
• 47:45
  random, but there was also a scent that couldn' t identify what it
• 47:49
  was. Sometimes, when it came to my turn to look after her,
• 47:53
  the space where she slept smelled like that weird thing she didn' t identify.
• 47:57
  My grandmother talked softly that she was becoming more and more frequent than talking
• 48:00
  down to herself. I was worried, so I asked your doctor, but
• 48:07
  he told me that it was part of the infection he had developed because he
• 48:10
  could no longer move from the wheelchair one evil after another evil. It affected
• 48:15
  her even though I was told she was normal. I didn' t feel
• 48:20
  that way. He always said different things, but it didn' t seem
• 48:24
  like anything like madness or hallucinations. What she was saying seemed coherent and it
• 48:29
  is precisely that which makes me think that she, indeed, invoked her ancestors
• 48:34
  as far as she was because they could no longer look for her in her
• 48:38
  house, where she wanted to die. One weekend night I stayed to take
• 48:43
  care of her during the night woke me up to the clarity with which I
• 48:47
  heard my grandmother' s voice. I thought you were talking to me,
• 48:51
  but I said hello as you are and I closed my eyes again. Still
• 48:55
  in the position I was asleep, I heard a whisper from a man far
• 49:00
  away, as when the voice is far away and I imagined someone was passing
• 49:05
  through the outside corridor, but my grandmother immediately replied that she was happy to
• 49:09
  hear that my legs trembled. I didn' t understand it was that whisper
• 49:15
  of voice. There, in the room, there was just me and her.
• 49:17
  Besides, the doctor was a woman and there was a nurse. I
• 49:22
  remember my heart beating so hard that I heard it in my ears. I
• 49:28
  was afraid to think I was going to open my eyes and meet someone'
• 49:31
  s figure right next to me, in front of her talking. I moved
• 49:36
  a little to see if my grandmother left the conversation she had, but it
• 49:39
  didn' t happen. After that he told her that if it was time
• 49:44
  to leave and I got up at once asking her if she was okay.
• 49:47
  Surprisingly, I was sitting and braiding her long white hair looked at me with
• 49:53
  the deepest eyes were glassy and I saw them gray. The color so black
• 49:58
  that I remembered is tar was disappearing. I think she was getting older every
• 50:02
  minute, every time someone else came in to take a little bit of it.
• 50:08
  At first, I also believed what the doctor told me, that old
• 50:12
  age was making her disconnect little by little, but I heard that voice he
• 50:16
  was talking to and even though I didn' t know what he said,
• 50:21
  but it' s real that I heard a man answer him. So,
• 50:22
  at that time, I decided to be her ally so that she could be
• 50:28
  discharged and gone home, the place she loved most in the world. Unfortunately,
• 50:34
  the fever came with more force and with it the null possibility of returning
• 50:37
  to the house. To finish, leaving with every day was sadder. He
• 50:43
  didn' t talk much anymore, he was sweating because of the fever,
• 50:49
  and at times he was talking while the temperature wasn' t lowering because of
• 50:50
  the infection. My dad told me he always said incoherences that I didn'
• 50:55
  t listen to him, but I insisted that the family was coming for her.
• 51:00
  My dad told me to shut up, not to say it out loud,
• 51:02
  because the dead listen to everything. Besides, she was going to get
• 51:07
  better, just as my grandmother had instilled those in me. I don'
• 51:12
  t know how to call them traditions or ideas. My dad also thought of
• 51:15
  all those stories that his mother told him and even though he knew what my
• 51:20
  mom, Margarita wanted, he told me that it was just stories of ladies
• 51:24
  that I didn' t get heavy that I dedicated myself to taking care of
• 51:29
  my mom and supporting her with the heaviest schedules to go take care of her
• 51:34
  in the hospital. She had served a month and five days since she arrived
• 51:37
  at the hospital. When, again, while I was sleeping, I heard
• 51:42
  water falling, I woke up looking for the origin of that sound. I
• 51:45
  looked at my grandmother and she was asleep. I checked that everything was in
• 51:50
  place. Neither did the hanging bag seem to be broken. I looked around
• 51:54
  and everything was in order, I was already hallucinating. I tried to read
• 52:00
  it was a little bit to hang out because I had been scared to sleep,
• 52:04
  but again, the sound of water falling interrupted me. I got up
• 52:07
  from the chair, I checked the bed, the serums, I even touched
• 52:13
  the walls, there was no trace of water. Suddenly his voice scared me
• 52:15
  and told me where that beautiful waterfall had come from? I asked her which
• 52:22
  waterfall and she pointed to the place where she was playing on the wall and
• 52:24
  told me there that beautiful waterfall. I was scared of him. I think
• 52:30
  we were sharing the hallucination or something, because we both agreed on something.
• 52:36
  There was water in the room, but I didn' t see anything.
• 52:39
  I just listened to her. She saw her and maybe there was nothing.
• 52:44
  That' s where I went with the nurse and they put medicine back on
• 52:47
  her. He told me he was hallucinating. Again, I didn' t
• 52:52
  have the courage to tell him that I listened as if there was running water.
• 52:54
  Besides, before I left the room, the nurse said yes, she
• 52:59
  lost. He used me. I was surprised because I used nothing but deodorant,
• 53:04
  but she wanted to know the name of the sweet perfume she smelled.
• 53:07
  When I entered the room, I told him anything. So I realized that
• 53:13
  the rare scent that started coming to me was kind of a very light perfume.
• 53:19
  I looked at my sleepy grandmother and I swear to God I saw death
• 53:22
  stand aside for a second. The dark shadow of the patch was watching her
• 53:25
  sleep in a few hours. The fever came back again, so while the
• 53:31
  medicine they gave him was working, he changed his rags with water to help
• 53:36
  keep it cool and not raise his body temperature any more. In the middle
• 53:42
  of the hallucinations. She told me that that waterfall was the most beautiful thing
• 53:46
  she' d ever seen and that a man told her to take a bath
• 53:51
  there, she was going to lower her fever. There was no gentleman,
• 53:54
  but I followed him as he told me that he was someone I didn'
• 53:59
  t know, but that I was asking him a lot of things where he
• 54:01
  had grown up. I was also asking him about his mom. After a
• 54:07
  long time, the fever gave way. The doctor left directions and left me
• 54:10
  more calm. He seemed to have fought another crisis, but he was still
• 54:16
  delicate, so I was telling him to fight. She started crying and opened
• 54:20
  her eyes slightly just to look directly at me and told me so you'
• 54:25
  re a granddaughter of Apollonius. I was frozen, because something weird was happening
• 54:30
  to him. I was breathing hard and it seemed like I was pulling all
• 54:35
  the air out of his body without completely turning it back and getting nervous.
• 54:38
  I began to fear that the time was near. The crying came, but
• 54:43
  I had to put up with it so she wouldn' t see me bad.
• 54:46
  My dad, my brother, an aunt and I took turns looking after
• 54:51
  her, but only my aunt told me openly that her mom was in the
• 54:55
  process of leaving. He told me one morning. I came to that morning
• 54:59
  temple thing to stay all day and my Aunt Keta told me that her mother
• 55:02
  was in God' s grace waiting to leave. The priest had gone to
• 55:08
  give communion to the room and after that he felt that his mother was full
• 55:13
  of light. I told her that the dead were visiting her, that I
• 55:17
  had seen her talk to nothing. She asked me what she was saying and
• 55:22
  I told her she was waving. I was asking how they were. He
• 55:25
  talked about what he did or did. My aunt was persignant. He told
• 55:30
  me to pray to make the process less long. She also said something like
• 55:35
  that who knows what she had done in life so that the dead would arrive
• 55:39
  like this for her. She thought that was bad, that they were coming
• 55:44
  for you, but little by little I realized that' s what my grandmother
• 55:46
  expected. Two days before she left, she talked to me like nothing was
• 55:53
  sitting in bed and asked me to wash her hair. When the door opened
• 55:58
  out of nowhere, the knob turned, allowing a very cold air into the
• 56:02
  room. My grandmother smiled and told me she had come. Joseph I told
• 56:07
  him hiding my fear, that it had only been the air that perhaps was
• 56:13
  confused. At that moment, my backpack moved and fell completely to the ground,
• 56:16
  leaving visible everything that was inside. My grandmother told me she was tired
• 56:22
  that if I was done as fast as I could, I dried her hair
• 56:27
  and pulled it. He told me to turn on the TV so that Joseph
• 56:30
  could entertain himself again. I felt fear ratting out my hands. I felt
• 56:36
  a feeling of heat shaking that I can' t explain and I told my
• 56:39
  grandmother that there was no one, that nobody had come here for a while.
• 56:45
  She replied that it was not rude that Joseph, her son, was
• 56:49
  sitting on the couch where my backpack was. It took me a long time
• 56:53
  to get close to picking up what had been laid. I preferred to stay
• 56:57
  in the chair next to the bed to avoid feeling something unpleasant. My grandmother
• 57:01
  talked a little bit to Joseph or him with her while I was sleeping,
• 57:07
  answering or asking and I didn' t know what to do. It was
• 57:08
  obvious to me that my grandmother was seeing something, but according to the doctor,
• 57:14
  she was hallucinating about the infection. While I was looking at my cell
• 57:16
  phone. At dawn, my grandmother stopped talking and I decided that I had
• 57:22
  to pray for a while. The room felt heavy. Besides, two things
• 57:28
  had already moved without anyone touching them. One was my backpack and the other
• 57:31
  was at the door. I searched my cell phone for the rosary because I
• 57:36
  didn' t remember what I was saying and I started praying under it just
• 57:42
  as I was going to finish the second mystery. I heard very clearly that
• 57:45
  they said louder. I shut up and looked at my mom Margarita, who
• 57:49
  was snoring. I didn' t have the courage to keep praying. I
• 57:52
  felt very overwhelmed At that moment the nurse arrived and when she came in for
• 57:58
  a minute, she stopped looking everywhere and asked me about the lady who had
• 58:01
  come to visit. I told him there was no one but me. She
• 58:06
  told me that maybe she was wrong and fear came out again and for the
• 58:10
  first time in my life I wanted to be away from my grandmother, the
• 58:15
  woman I loved the most in the world, my parenting mom. I went
• 58:20
  to the bathroom to wash my face at 3: 30 in the morning.
• 58:23
  I saw it on the big clock at the end of the hall, where
• 58:28
  the bathrooms were. I went in trying to calm down, washed my face.
• 58:30
  I was wondering if I could tell my aunt to let me rest for
• 58:35
  about two days so I could calm down, because I might be getting too
• 58:40
  upset about what was going on with her. I washed my face again and
• 58:43
  dried it with the sweater I was wearing. I felt like smoking a cigarette,
• 58:47
  but I couldn' t get out for long. I figured I could
• 58:52
  tell the nurse to take care of her for a while when she was coming
• 58:55
  back, because she really needed to get out. From there I looked at
• 58:59
  my watch and already took five or ten minutes. There he had to return
• 59:04
  and at the time of going out, a bathroom door opened itself by activating
• 59:07
  the sink of the cup, which was automatic. I heard a few steps,
• 59:14
  but I didn' t know where they came from. I thought it
• 59:17
  was a sensor error. I went to the bathroom to confirm my idea.
• 59:22
  But as soon as I went to the bathroom, the door closed in my
• 59:25
  face and slammed. I stepped back slowly looking at the door, but now
• 59:30
  the door next door moved shaking, so I ran out straight with the nurses.
• 59:37
  I came to her place very scared. They saw me so agitated that
• 59:42
  the doctor came out to see me while I was wondering if I was too
• 59:46
  nervous about what was going on with my grandmother. All the files fell off
• 59:49
  the nursing bar. It seemed that they had slipped, all falling into a
• 59:54
  dry noise, because we had all been silent to witness that. Right after
• 1:00:01
  my grandmother' s bed alarm went off, the doctor, the nurse and
• 1:00:05
  I ran into the room. When I arrived, I saw my grandmother moving
• 1:00:09
  desperately from one side to the other. They immediately pressed a button that got
• 1:00:15
  other nurses in a cart and pulled me out of the room. From the
• 1:00:20
  entrance he saw what they were doing to him. They put a tube in
• 1:00:23
  his throat. They also put other things in it and also increased the bags
• 1:00:29
  that went into his veins. After all that, I felt like my soul
• 1:00:32
  was leaving my body. My grandmother was already leaving barely if she had been
• 1:00:37
  alive connected to the respirator. On leaving, the doctor told me that my
• 1:00:43
  grandmother was very delicate and also explained to me what had happened. But I
• 1:00:47
  don' t remember well, since from there, I stopped a few meters
• 1:00:52
  away from her to see how the sheets that covered her moved in a way
• 1:00:57
  that looked like someone had sat on the bed and inevitably screamed the doctor and
• 1:01:01
  the nurses entered the room again. My grandmother had fallen into cardiac parochial at
• 1:01:07
  the time I was in crisis. I couldn' t believe what I was
• 1:01:10
  living. All those spirit signs near her. My grandmother only held one more
• 1:01:15
  day. It was long enough for everyone to come and say goodbye. I
• 1:01:21
  didn' t move from the hospital or change my clothes. I was terrified,
• 1:01:24
  but I didn' t want to leave her. My dad came crying
• 1:01:28
  out of the room and when he hugged me, he told me my mom
• 1:01:30
  was with her because she smelled of her perfume. I began to tremble.
• 1:01:35
  I couldn' t talk, and I don' t remember clearly what I
• 1:01:38
  said to my dad, but after that he gave me a nervous breakdown.
• 1:01:42
  My grandmother died while I was asleep in one of the reception chairs. I
• 1:01:46
  thought I was gonna regret not being with her, but I didn' t,
• 1:01:51
  as I dreamt about her and said goodbye to me. At the time
• 1:01:54
  of his departure, my brother and dad were outside the room talking to the
• 1:01:59
  doctor and they were impressed that for a minute or less they heard as if
• 1:02:05
  several people were talking outside the room, but no one was seen passing by.
• 1:02:14
  Last year, when the new school cycle began, my son Emilio entered
• 1:02:19
  primary school. He' s a very cheerful kid and I was very excited
• 1:02:23
  to go to his new school too I was very excited about him, as
• 1:02:28
  he' s my only son, so every single thing he does leaves me
• 1:02:31
  amazed. The school chose something far away because there was a way back from
• 1:02:37
  my husband' s work. As Gael has a job that has to be
• 1:02:42
  happening with customers, it is easier for him to go for it at the
• 1:02:45
  time of departure. Instead, I work as a designer at an advertising company
• 1:02:51
  and I couldn' t go out to pick it up. So we chose
• 1:02:54
  a Catholic school that had a good reputation for being the best in the area
• 1:02:59
  to give good education. We spent several weeks thinking if it was a good
• 1:03:06
  place, because neither of us is especially attached to the church, but in
• 1:03:09
  the end, all the points in favor were heavier than our lack of interest
• 1:03:15
  in religion. It was an intense first week to accommodate the new rhythm of
• 1:03:21
  life. It was complicated that he and I ran every day to take or
• 1:03:24
  pick up the child on time, while Emilio had a great time at school.
• 1:03:30
  He' s one of those kids talking, like my mom says,
• 1:03:34
  even around the elbows. So it was obvious that he loved the place we
• 1:03:37
  chose for him. He also talked about his classmates. When we asked her
• 1:03:44
  what she had done in the living room, she told us a lot of
• 1:03:46
  things and in half she was tired of everything she told me, because it
• 1:03:52
  seemed like they were allowed to do many activities to take advantage of school hours.
• 1:03:57
  He was happy with his teacher, a jo boy about twenty- six
• 1:04:01
  or twenty- seven years old who after the first week of class, asked
• 1:04:05
  us to go to a meeting to introduce ourselves and share the first evaluation of
• 1:04:10
  the children. He said it was the diagnosis of how the children were so
• 1:04:15
  they could focus on what they needed or what they liked to put them to
• 1:04:18
  work properly. My husband was the one who introduced himself to the board and
• 1:04:24
  spoke very well to me about the teacher. What caught his attention had not
• 1:04:27
  been either the teacher' s work plan or anything to do with the school.
• 1:04:32
  He was amazed at the school inside. When we went to see the
• 1:04:36
  place, she had focused on what Miss Guide was telling us about school.
• 1:04:42
  So I was surprised when he told me the building was older than it looked.
• 1:04:46
  He quickly told me the details of the board. He added me to
• 1:04:50
  the dads' whatsapp group and then went on to tell me details of the
• 1:04:55
  building. My husband has a certain fondness for constructions. He likes to collect
• 1:04:59
  scale models. It seemed normal to me that it was an old building of
• 1:05:05
  those stone, because many of the big old houses use them to make shops,
• 1:05:11
  schools or other things. Usually, few are used as normal- use
• 1:05:14
  homes. So it seems normal to me that, although it can also be
• 1:05:19
  one of the factors why things got weird later. As I mentioned, Emilio
• 1:05:27
  was very, very happy every day that I saw him coming to my house,
• 1:05:30
  He lasted a long time telling what he had done in school. I
• 1:05:34
  also sat with him to work his homework together. It was about a month
• 1:05:39
  after the start of school that I saw him calmer. I thought she was
• 1:05:42
  getting crazy about everything new and getting used to being in school. I let
• 1:05:47
  him work at his own pace and tell me things. Gael told me what
• 1:05:51
  the boy was saying when he went to school and at one point a group
• 1:05:55
  of friends began to be recurring. He always placated what he was doing at
• 1:06:00
  recess time with clarity. Joele and Ker were already having their group of friends,
• 1:06:05
  so everything was going perfectly. But one Friday the boy was punished in
• 1:06:11
  the direction when my husband arrived for him had fought with Joel and the teacher
• 1:06:15
  told us that the fight had begun in the bathrooms. They had gone to
• 1:06:20
  wash their hands after playing with plasticine. All the children were wiping their hands.
• 1:06:27
  When there was a problem with a hand towel, according to Joel,
• 1:06:30
  Emilio had removed his towel and began to struggle for it, until Joel fell
• 1:06:34
  down and began to cry rarely. Emilio pushed him so he wouldn' t
• 1:06:41
  let him get up. I was telling him to apologize with clarity. So
• 1:06:44
  much for normal. I told myself, because kids tend to fight for almost
• 1:06:47
  meaningless things, so as long as I hadn' t grown up, everything
• 1:06:53
  was fine. I just got a little restless because they had just left Emilio
• 1:06:58
  in the direction. The other boy had usually left at the time of departure
• 1:07:00
  with his mother, while they had waited for someone to come for Emilio to
• 1:07:04
  talk to him. My husband told me the teacher was waiting for him there
• 1:07:11
  with the child. The teacher told Emilio to explain to his father what had
• 1:07:14
  happened during the hand cleaning. Our crying child told him that Joel had been
• 1:07:19
  ignoring him clearly, so he told him that she felt sad that he listened
• 1:07:25
  to him. Then Joé asked him where his towel was and he had told
• 1:07:30
  him that he did not have it. As the boy did not find his
• 1:07:32
  towel, he told Emilio that he had hidden it from returning his towel.
• 1:07:38
  Then Joel had pushed him and he answered him. My husband told him he
• 1:07:44
  was going to talk to Emilio coming home to correct his behavior. The teacher
• 1:07:47
  told him that was okay, but he would also have to do something else.
• 1:07:53
  So he left the boy in the chair where he was and took my
• 1:07:56
  husband out into the school hallway. He told her that there was no clear
• 1:08:00
  girl in the classroom that if he knew if the boy had mentioned that name
• 1:08:04
  or that girl before us, since he had started the school year, we
• 1:08:11
  heard that he had a friend and two friends. The girl was clear and
• 1:08:14
  Gael told the teacher, who then recommended talking to the boy, that we
• 1:08:18
  take advantage of the weekend to get closer to him. Maybe something was happening
• 1:08:25
  to him, but we hadn' t noticed that. For his part,
• 1:08:30
  he told us that it was the first time he heard Emilio say Clara'
• 1:08:33
  s name. When I heard all that, I got really nervous. First
• 1:08:38
  I was upset, then I thought something bad was going on with the kids.
• 1:08:43
  Maybe she was a girl from another room or something. I started going
• 1:08:45
  over the matter a thousand times, while he was trying to calm me down.
• 1:08:49
  I finally listened to him. He told me that it was best to
• 1:08:54
  be as usual, we spent the weekends, but that he would try to
• 1:08:59
  talk naturally that Clara to see if she could find the truth was Sunday morning.
• 1:09:04
  Until then, the issue had not come up and we did not want
• 1:09:10
  to question Emilio. He wasn' t going to tell us anything if we
• 1:09:13
  were insisting. The best thing was to let some time go by. When
• 1:09:16
  we had breakfast, she asked him if Clara was okay. After the fight
• 1:09:19
  he told her that he did not know why he had hidden himself crying and
• 1:09:25
  no longer spoke to her because he was in the direction. Then I told
• 1:09:29
  her if they were very close. He told me they were sitting together,
• 1:09:32
  they were working in his notebook, the two of them because they were hiding
• 1:09:36
  their stuff from her, so he was helping him. I was scared if
• 1:09:40
  that girl wasn' t among the students in the classroom, because Emilio spoke
• 1:09:45
  so naturally about her. Then she told us that on Monday she was going
• 1:09:47
  to bring her a candy to make her happy and we didn' t know
• 1:09:53
  what I told her to say yes, that we were going to pick a
• 1:09:56
  candy for her. Later I stared at my husband while he, child,
• 1:09:59
  finished his breakfast and went to play with his cell phone for a while.
• 1:10:03
  We were both talking to each other about our doubts, trying not to make
• 1:10:10
  him realize that we were disturbed. It wasn' t a supernatural fear.
• 1:10:12
  What we felt was concern for the child. Maybe he was making up an
• 1:10:17
  imaginary friend, in that case a friend, but why at that age.
• 1:10:21
  I knew it could have started when I was younger. He might feel alone
• 1:10:27
  because we couldn' t give him a brother, but I didn' t
• 1:10:31
  think he felt that bad either. He was close to his cousins. We
• 1:10:33
  went on with his grandparents, he had friends at school, he had no
• 1:10:39
  other attitudes that worried us. It was rare for him to suddenly start talking
• 1:10:43
  about an imaginary girl who was sure that it had been a very drastic change
• 1:10:47
  for him to enter elementary school and not knowing anyone we had taken him to
• 1:10:53
  another area away from kindergarten where he was. The other children had passed automatically
• 1:10:59
  from the quinder the primary next door. Then he might have felt bad for
• 1:11:03
  being the only one who had no friends. I thought it was possible,
• 1:11:08
  but moms always know things somehow and I wasn' t feeling convinced something told
• 1:11:13
  me from the bottom that it wasn' t that. On Monday I went
• 1:11:17
  to talk to the teacher at the time of departure. I told him we
• 1:11:21
  were on the lookout for what Emilio was offering. I explained to him that
• 1:11:26
  we had spoken to the child the day before and that it was normal for
• 1:11:30
  him to have a clear presence, so we didn' t know if anything
• 1:11:34
  was causing him stress or anything. The Master told me that he was going
• 1:11:38
  to schedule a consultation with the school' s psychological assistance so that they could
• 1:11:43
  give him an assessment, but that he had waited a few days for us
• 1:11:47
  to tell him how he had spent the weekend. My answer was the same.
• 1:11:50
  He was normal, just calmer and he didn' t see himself running
• 1:11:56
  everywhere as usual, and I told him that I thought it was because he
• 1:12:00
  was getting used to changing schools. The Master told me that then I was
• 1:12:03
  going to help him support the consultation with the therapist. He agreed to see
• 1:12:08
  it and gave me a part with the time and the day he told me
• 1:12:12
  that the consultation was already scheduled. In addition, there had to be a
• 1:12:15
  parent present when the valuation was made. The next three days I saw the
• 1:12:20
  most radical change in my son. He stopped talking to us. It was
• 1:12:25
  all like I was in another world. All the time he looked calm,
• 1:12:29
  there was nothing alarming, he kept up with the school and did the homework
• 1:12:33
  as we normally did. He also played normal, but looked withdrawn, silent
• 1:12:39
  and almost depressed, so much so that Gael also cared. He told me
• 1:12:45
  something was going on, but he couldn' t get our son to tell
• 1:12:48
  him anything. The assessment was urgent. I couldn' t take my child
• 1:12:54
  with the therapist, so I had to wait until the time I got home
• 1:12:58
  to ask my husband what was going on. I arrived and was at the
• 1:13:02
  entrance of the house. He was waiting for me and told me that Emilio
• 1:13:06
  had a fit of anger with the therapist. I wanted to go in and
• 1:13:11
  check on him, but he stopped me. He told me he had to
• 1:13:15
  tell me everything that had happened before I saw him. Now he was asleep
• 1:13:19
  because he had to go to the hospital and he had been injected. I
• 1:13:24
  got hysterical. I didn' t wait for him to tell me a half
• 1:13:27
  a word. I walked in leaving my backpack with all my stuff at the
• 1:13:30
  entrance to the house to go to my son' s room. I don
• 1:13:33
  ' t understand how Gael expected me to stay calm if he told me things
• 1:13:39
  had gone wrong to the point that they had to go to the hospital.
• 1:13:43
  When I walked into his room, I saw him lying down. I was
• 1:13:46
  asleep. Like you said. I moved it slowly by telling her wave with
• 1:13:50
  all the calmness of the world. When he turned around, I saw his
• 1:13:55
  face with scratches on his arm, he had bruises. I couldn' t
• 1:13:58
  stand the crying. Apparently, the gutter didn' t either, and we
• 1:14:01
  cried together as I hugged us for a while. So, while from the
• 1:14:05
  entrance to the room he saw Gael without approaching, I imagine he felt that
• 1:14:11
  moment was important to both of us. After a while emilio fell asleep again.
• 1:14:16
  I saw him with a calm expression, so I let him rest and
• 1:14:20
  went to the kitchen to talk to my husband. The dinner was getting warmed
• 1:14:25
  up, defeated. I sat down and we started arguing quietly. I claimed
• 1:14:29
  him because he hadn' t told me in time what happened. Besides,
• 1:14:33
  I didn' t know what the hell had happened to get him so hurt.
• 1:14:38
  For his part, Gael was scolding me for not listening to him.
• 1:14:42
  He wanted to tell me things calm so we could see what to do.
• 1:14:45
  But he couldn' t understand me, because as soon as I heard that
• 1:14:49
  our son had been in the hospital, I felt like I had to see
• 1:14:54
  him right away. After many minutes of fighting, I left him for peace.
• 1:14:59
  The last thing Emilio needed in life was to hear us fight. Gael
• 1:15:03
  looked at me upset. He told me if I was at least going to
• 1:15:08
  accept something to eat, I didn' t want to eat. So she
• 1:15:10
  served dinner and started eating standing on the side of the stove I saw the
• 1:15:14
  kid' s backpack under the table, I picked it up, I checked
• 1:15:18
  it and then I started taking out the notebooks to check that I had dependants
• 1:15:24
  to deliver. On Monday at school, the backpack was full of dirt,
• 1:15:28
  so I put it on the table and turned it around to take out everything
• 1:15:30
  inside the earth was a small towel with a man saying joel first. By
• 1:15:39
  that I confirmed that my child had been guilty of the fight with Joel then
• 1:15:44
  if he could be sick, I did not understand what all that land was,
• 1:15:47
  that he too had approached to check things in silence. I was watching
• 1:15:53
  my tears come out. The more I found strange things, I took out
• 1:15:58
  his bag of colors and in his only were the sweets I had bought him
• 1:16:02
  clearly were all bitten and even with the plastic, I put them on the
• 1:16:08
  table to see them. The land was being picked up by Gael as he
• 1:16:12
  searched one by one the notebooks that looked hard as if they had been wet
• 1:16:17
  before, but now they looked dry and discolored. Despite having a plastic lining,
• 1:16:21
  the tasks in class were unfinished. There were drawings instead of activities.
• 1:16:29
  It was also written Clara' s name said Clara and I showed her the
• 1:16:34
  name. Gael looked like it was written wrong as if it had been Emilio
• 1:16:39
  himself stretched out his hand to see better the letters and fell a folded blade.
• 1:16:45
  He took it and then gave it to me. It was the drawing
• 1:16:47
  of a girl floating among the trees in the back garden. Gael told me
• 1:16:53
  if you could tell me what had happened, yes. I was going to
• 1:16:58
  be calm to hear it, because I wanted you to talk calmly. And
• 1:17:00
  it' s just that I have to confess that when I get in a
• 1:17:04
  bad mood or I' m worried, it' s impossible for us to
• 1:17:10
  talk, I can' t even turn around and see it without feeling all
• 1:17:12
  the courage coming out of my eyes. He sat in the chair next door
• 1:17:15
  and gave me a glass of water. He asked me to keep an open
• 1:17:18
  mind for what he was going to tell me in the afternoon. He arrived
• 1:17:23
  at the time of departure and the Master was waiting for him. He told
• 1:17:27
  her it was date day. He also told him that Emilio had not wanted
• 1:17:30
  to work that day. He dedicated himself to doing what he wanted despite the
• 1:17:34
  wake- up calls. In the end, after the Master was calling his
• 1:17:39
  attention all day, Emilio had stood still drawing, so he decided to let
• 1:17:45
  him do that for the day to warn us that he had had a bad
• 1:17:49
  attitude. The master had seen Emilio carrying his hands full of dirt. He
• 1:17:56
  told her where he' d been putting his hands to leave them so dirty
• 1:18:00
  and told her that in the backpack. The teacher briefly checked the backpack at
• 1:18:04
  the time of departure and realized that it was full of normal soil. He
• 1:18:10
  had herbs like those in the garden. When Gael arrived, he gave her
• 1:18:14
  the backpack for him to see. He had been very worried about telling the
• 1:18:18
  teacher that Emilio was being bothered by someone, but the teacher assured him that
• 1:18:23
  it had been the boy who had found a way to put the whole earth
• 1:18:28
  in the backpack. None of the other children had signs of land. The
• 1:18:31
  most worrying thing is that I didn' t know how the earth got in.
• 1:18:35
  He assured her that Emilio was around the whole time. First of all,
• 1:18:42
  during the class, he wasn' t out at all. In the
• 1:18:45
  second, at the time of recess, Emilio had sat inside the living room
• 1:18:48
  without wanting to leave and the teacher had stayed to spend the rest by reviewing
• 1:18:55
  the workbooks. Emilio had never wanted to talk at any time when the teacher
• 1:19:00
  told my husband all that, so, as there was no response from him,
• 1:19:05
  they went to the social work area and special therapies. That' s
• 1:19:12
  where they waited in the living room. The doctor had told them that she
• 1:19:15
  would be out in a moment because she was finishing a child' s assessment.
• 1:19:19
  At the time, Emilio told his father that he was very thirsty,
• 1:19:24
  so he gave him permission to go and pour water from the dispatcher in the
• 1:19:28
  room. After a few minutes, Emilio began to cry and his father approached
• 1:19:32
  to see what he had. She told him Clara wouldn' t let him
• 1:19:36
  have any water. He looked at the paper cone where the water had been
• 1:19:40
  served. There was some dirt in the back. Gael took a new cone
• 1:19:45
  and told him that Clara had to learn how to behave because she wasn'
• 1:19:48
  t going to have friends. He poured water into the new cone and gave
• 1:19:53
  it to Emilio, who drank all the water in a hurry, but at
• 1:19:57
  the time he finished he started spitting in the cone. She looked at her
• 1:20:01
  dad and told Clara she doesn' t want to stop being mean by showing
• 1:20:06
  her the little cone with some dirt she had spit. My husband was frozen.
• 1:20:11
  He tells me he didn' t know what to do. It looked
• 1:20:13
  like a plan too elaborate to attract attention, especially in a six- year
• 1:20:17
  - old boy. The doctor came out and asked them to step behind them.
• 1:20:24
  All the paper cones fell to the ground, so Gael got them back
• 1:20:28
  together. Everyone noticed that the hoop where the cones were accommodated to use them
• 1:20:32
  was broken. He didn' t know if he was like this. Before
• 1:20:35
  his Emilio he was looking to make things more and more difficult. When my
• 1:20:42
  husband was inside, he was asked to stay in an armchair overseeing the games
• 1:20:45
  he was going to play. Emilio let him play with colored tiles, with
• 1:20:51
  some figures, a puzzle, asked him to follow some songs with her,
• 1:20:57
  to repeat what she sang and so asked for a drawing. That drawing was
• 1:21:01
  that of the girl floating around the trees. Everything was going great until the
• 1:21:06
  doctor went to Gael, leaving Emilio alone at a remote table that had lots
• 1:21:12
  of toys so she could play while talking to her dad. It didn'
• 1:21:19
  t last long about five minutes when they both turned around because a loud noise
• 1:21:24
  alerted them. Emilio was throwing all the toys on the floor, screaming that
• 1:21:29
  he left that he didn' t want to play like this and covered his
• 1:21:32
  face by moving from one place to another running. When they managed to contain
• 1:21:36
  it, it was all scratched. He had multiple blows to his hands and
• 1:21:41
  arms. The doctor told Gael that they had to go to the doctor'
• 1:21:44
  s office, where he explained on a sheet his diagnosis, that Emilio had
• 1:21:48
  been harmed alone, because there were very strict rules within the campus that could
• 1:21:55
  make her get fired. That is why they had ended up in the doctor,
• 1:22:00
  who had explained that all the beatings were self- inflicted, so he
• 1:22:04
  recommended that my husband take the child to psychiatric care as soon as possible.
• 1:22:10
  I felt like I was going to die when he told me that, but
• 1:22:14
  he thought something else was going on. Maybe he polished something else. That
• 1:22:17
  ' s why he asked me not to close myself to the possibility that it
• 1:22:21
  was even supernatural, because I knew Emilio couldn' t have done that.
• 1:22:26
  Like this. I was just surprised that he told me that it could even
• 1:22:30
  be supernatural, but I didn' t ask him any more. I went
• 1:22:33
  straight to Emilio' s room, who was still asleep. He probably had
• 1:22:39
  to get tired of everything that happened, and more than physical tiredness seemed to
• 1:22:43
  me that his mind was very hurt. In the dim darkness I saw him
• 1:22:48
  lying down again I felt like crying. I didn' t know what decision
• 1:22:53
  we had to make. Then I saw her in the shadows, hidden under
• 1:22:57
  the bed, I could see the face of a girl with very black and
• 1:23:01
  Chinese hair. She looked at me as angry or scared. I was touching
• 1:23:06
  one of the shoes Emilio had left lying under the bed. I covered my
• 1:23:12
  mouth so I wouldn' t scream, but my legs got scared to death
• 1:23:15
  in seconds. That vision was gone. I got out of the room as
• 1:23:20
  fast as I could to go with Gael. I told her I was clear
• 1:23:24
  in the room, that there was a girl under the bed. I hugged
• 1:23:28
  him terrified. I didn' t know whether to go get Emilio or leave
• 1:23:31
  him alone. That girl was there and if I hurt her for waking him
• 1:23:35
  up. In the end we took him to sleep with us at night.
• 1:23:41
  My husband told me that he had seen the shadow of the girl next to
• 1:23:45
  Emilio by the rearview mirror of the car when they were coming back from the
• 1:23:48
  doctor, but that he did not want to believe that was true. But
• 1:23:51
  now that I' d seen her too, we' d have to do
• 1:23:56
  something soon. The first thing I thought was that I wasn' t going
• 1:24:00
  to take Emilio to school anymore, I was going to take him to the
• 1:24:03
  doctor' s office. But, like I was going to tell a doctor
• 1:24:05
  that we had seen a ghost girl even us we could go crazy like we
• 1:24:13
  couldn' t take Emilio with the psychiatrist. We did, they sent him
• 1:24:17
  meds, but he saw it a lot worse when he took them, so
• 1:24:20
  I stopped giving them to him and with no more power. Anyway, I
• 1:24:24
  collapsed in front of my mom asking her for advice. She told me she
• 1:24:29
  knew who she could help us with. So we' ve been going with
• 1:24:32
  this person who drives spirits away and we went for the last month. Now
• 1:24:36
  Emilio' s on school vacation. The idea is not to take it anymore,
• 1:24:42
  change it as soon as we can or let it lose the year that
• 1:24:45
  starts all over again, next August. We have to help him, and
• 1:24:49
  no matter how we' re gonna get him to get that ghost girl or
• 1:24:55
  demon spirit away from him. Anonymous accounts in Castilla o
