- 0:05Sometimes I think that people take the word sect very lightly, at the same
- 0:09time as under the so- called right to free worship, the authorities do
- 0:14not intervene when there are minors involved saying they cannot because of their parents'
- 0:19religious freedoms. However, I would like to tell you my experience in a
- 0:25sect that, as far as I believe it is, is still in operation
- 0:29to this day. But the reality is that behind its walls things happen not
- 0:32only detestable, but situations that to this day make me wonder what they worship.
- 0:39I' m not really so sure how much power he has, so
- 0:44I' ll skip all the names and I' ll just change the name
- 0:47of the sect. It was for a particularly dark and unfortunate year for my
- 0:52family, which had certainly gone through much better times. And I' m
- 0:57not just saying that we weren' t rich, but I never felt like
- 1:02we were missing anything or that my parents were frustrated by it. In addition,
- 1:06both were very present in our lives and I was absolutely sure that we
- 1:11both loved each other equally. Everything changed. When I was only thirteen.
- 1:17My father died suddenly in a tragic work accident. The loss plunged us all
- 1:23into deep sadness, but my mother seemed to affect her even more than the
- 1:27rest of us. After the whole funeral thing and the many condolences of close
- 1:33friends and family, my mother locked herself in and was no longer the same
- 1:38person spent the days lying in bed, obsessed with her phone watching endless videos.
- 1:48He only left his room at night while we all slept and as far
- 1:52as the rest of the day was concerned, his door had security and he
- 1:57wouldn' t let us in or talk to her. My r or r
- 1:59dre always told me that when they were not close, then I was responsible
- 2:04for my brothers, so, although my age was not yet fourteen, I
- 2:07decided it was my duty to take care of what my mother felt best,
- 2:12my younger sister, was only ten years old and my twin brothers eight years
- 2:16old. Dad had taught me where I kept the money for emergencies, so
- 2:23I started to manage it as best I could, although for obvious reasons,
- 2:28I wasn' t so prepared for it. As the days passed, the
- 2:32money that my father had left began to run out quickly and my mother seemed
- 2:38alien to the situation, even if I told her. He didn' t
- 2:42seem to care at all if his children lived or died. Despair invaded me.
- 2:49If things didn' t change soon, I' d have to drop
- 2:53out of school and find a job so I could keep my brothers the burden
- 3:00of that responsibility that fell on my shoulders. Every night, while trying to
- 3:04fall asleep, I was tortured by the idea of an uncertain future full of
- 3:08sacrifices, not to mention that, even though my mother ignored it, we
- 3:14were all going through the same duel. One day, on returning from school,
- 3:20I noticed something unusual at home my mother had left her room and the
- 3:24smell of fresh food permeated the atmosphere. I was relieved to think that perhaps
- 3:30I had finally begun to behave like the support that my brothers needed and I
- 3:36saw normalcy returning to our lives. My hopes held on to that little sign
- 3:43of change. However, that afternoon, while we were sitting at the table
- 3:49to have what I thought would be our first normal meal, in weeks,
- 3:53unknown people came to our door dressed in white clothes and golden edges. At
- 4:00the time I didn' t know how to explain what I saw as odd,
- 4:04but today I can say that they all had brown hair of the same
- 4:10tone, in addition to the same haircut between men and women. His presence
- 4:15was disturbing, but even more strange was his behavior. They moved around the
- 4:20house as if they were the owners, as if they had always belonged to
- 4:26that place. They didn' t even ask me permission to come in.
- 4:28When I opened the door. They just did. We didn' t know
- 4:33what to do, since it looked like Mom had invited them, so we
- 4:38just sat quietly. We sat around the table while strangers settled in. We
- 4:46were about to start eating, but my mom signaled us to lower the cutlery.
- 4:50When we did, a man who was the tallest of all began to
- 4:55give thanks for the food. That was nothing common to our family. We
- 5:00always identified ourselves as Catholics, but we never really went to church or blessed
- 5:05the table. Dad said God was everywhere and he didn' t need all
- 5:11those things so he knew we loved him and venerated him. And that'
- 5:16s why one of my twin brothers, who had always been a bit rebellious,
- 5:21started playing with his food innocently. I would stir her up and pretend
- 5:28to catapult her to our other brother' s plate. However, his action
- 5:31did not go unnoticed. For one of the strangers, a man with cold
- 5:36eyes and a smile that honestly gave me a lot of distrust, approached him
- 5:43by holding his wrist with an inhuman force, leaving red marks on his skin.
- 5:48The hour of food is sacred to God, our creator murmured the stranger
- 5:53with a voice. Rough what you' re doing is a sin. My
- 5:59brother started sobbing, but that man wouldn' t let go. We'
- 6:02ve never been beaten up in my family. Until then, both mom and
- 6:06dad used to say that beatings only helped to fear and hide mistakes and that
- 6:13they did not want their children to fear them. So, almost as a
- 6:16reflection of the education I had been given for thirteen years, I told him
- 6:21to stop that if he didn' t see it, that I was hurting
- 6:27him, but before I could even finish claiming him, that man released my
- 6:31brother just to slap me. At first I was a little in Choc.
- 6:35I looked at the people, but they smiled as they looked at their plate,
- 6:42almost as if they were enjoying the scene that was unfolding in front of
- 6:46them. I instinctively turned to see my mom, because for obvious reasons,
- 6:50I expected full support from her to tell those people to get out of our
- 6:56lives by starting to leave our house. At that time, however, that
- 7:01did not happen and even as I write this, I can remember that that
- 7:06hurt me much more than the slap itself. My mother didn' t do
- 7:12anything to stop the assault. He looked back at me for a few seconds,
- 7:16but almost immediately, he looked straight down at his plate and continued to
- 7:20eat as if nothing had happened. After that, seeing my twin brothers whimpering,
- 7:26trying to contain the tears and my other sister being stunned. As a
- 7:31result, the four of us were sent to sleep in a single room,
- 7:35even though each one had his room. And to our misfortune, that was
- 7:41only the beginning of what would be the worst torment of our lives. Strangers
- 7:46invaded our house without permission, imposing their control over every aspect of our lives.
- 7:54They threw our clothes away as inappropriate, as well as books and movies.
- 7:59We were forced to be in bed at seven o' clock at night
- 8:01and forbidden from interacting with the children on our block. They even got rid
- 8:07of television arguing that it was a source of corruption that should be removed from
- 8:13our fragile minds. My patience reached its limit when I was forced to fast
- 8:20for two days for the only reason I was awake until nine o’ clock
- 8:24at night. In doing my homework, I confronted my mother by questioning her
- 8:30motive for all the martyrdom imposed upon us. She looked at me with eyes
- 8:35of compassion and said they' re right. Only by following the rules of
- 8:39the Blessed Cross will we be truly happy and attain fullness. I found his
- 8:46words delirious. I refused to believe that my mother, whom I had even
- 8:52heard at some point, was considering being agnostic. Now I' m saying
- 8:58such shots. So, like, everything we were going through somehow was good
- 9:03for us. Personally, I did not believe that submitting to the whims of
- 9:09those strangers would lead to happiness. She was convinced that something dark and sinister
- 9:16was hidden behind her actions. Not only were they extremists and very religious.
- 9:20I couldn' t explain it very well, but whenever one of them was
- 9:26around, they just gave me the creeps. I tried to get in touch
- 9:31with someone in the family to tell them about the situation and maybe they could
- 9:37help us somehow. And although most listened to me attentively, the truth is
- 9:41that almost no one gave him the importance that this subject deserved. They only
- 9:46gave me words of encouragement saying that maybe moms were just trying to find a
- 9:52new faith that losing her husband might have made her want to explore other forms
- 9:56of faith and that I shouldn' t worry, because they were sure that
- 10:01if she was bad for us, Mom, she would realize and that she
- 10:05would always seek our well- being. The ones who did listen most to
- 10:09me were my paternal grandparents who were alarmed when I told them that we could
- 10:15only eat twice a day and that they had even put a lock on the
- 10:18cupboard. They even went to check it out and when they saw that everything
- 10:22I had told them was true, they told my mom that if she was
- 10:28crazy, that she was a cult and that if she wanted to live like
- 10:31that was her problem, but that her son would never have allowed something like
- 10:35that. They told me they couldn' t take us, but they'
- 10:39d hire someone to get us out of there. And even though that reassured
- 10:43me a little bit about those processes in Mexico, the truth is that they
- 10:48are too late and what I thought would be a few days became weeks in
- 10:52which we were further isolated and the phone was removed from the house, as
- 10:56well as my sister' s phone and my brother' s tablet. I
- 11:01remember well that one night after we were sent to sleep at the usual time,
- 11:05I was wandering around in my bed. I just couldn' t get
- 11:11used to sleeping at seven o' clock at night, when in the past
- 11:13I was the one who put on my own sleep schedule. Suddenly I began
- 11:18to hear strange noises. They were like chants in a language that he did
- 11:24not recognize and there also seemed to be some murmurs. The truth sounded pretty
- 11:28rough. However, I thought I could go down and pick up my phone,
- 11:33which I had seen they had kept in one of the drawers in the
- 11:37kitchen, and I could try to take pictures of how the refrigerator and cupboard
- 11:43had padlock and maybe what they were doing, because I thought that that way
- 11:48I could give it to my grandparents and it would be easier for them to
- 11:50give them our custody. I went down the stairs cautiously. My heart was
- 11:56beating hard in my chest. There was no one watching our room, as
- 12:01they always did. I figured it was because they didn' t think we
- 12:05were gonna try anything anymore. I came to the kitchen, but I was
- 12:07surprised that that drawer and everyone else also had padlocks, so I couldn'
- 12:13t complete my plan. So, resigned, I thought going back to the
- 12:18room was the best option before anyone realized I wasn' t in the room.
- 12:24Passing through the room, I was petrified to witness a scene. Moments
- 12:28back had passed so quickly that I had not paid attention to that part of
- 12:33the house. Several people dressed in grey robes were gathered together in a circle.
- 12:41Their voices resounded in the room as they recited words in Latin, creating
- 12:46an atmosphere full of dark energy. The temperature in the room dropped dramatically,
- 12:54wrapping it in a chilling cold that icy to my bones. I could not
- 13:00believe what my eyes saw in the middle of that circle of strangers, a
- 13:05white fact lay, seeming to be the center of that twisted ritual. Panic
- 13:11seized me when, suddenly, the cat burst into a violent and sudden explosion.
- 13:18The pieces of his body flew through the room, painting the walls with
- 13:22blood stains and shattered flesh. My mind refused to accept the reality of what
- 13:28I had just witnessed. I was so terrified that I ran up the stairs
- 13:33and took refuge in my room, burying myself in the blankets as if they
- 13:39could protect me from that horror. I closed my eyes hard trying to block
- 13:43the terrifying images that had been recorded in my mind. Then I heard footsteps
- 13:50approaching my room. My heart was beating in my throat. As he struggled
- 13:56to keep his cool a shadow, he looked forward to the open- mindedness
- 14:01trying to identify which child had left the room. Fortunately, they passed without
- 14:07realizing which of us had been snuggled up in bed trembling with fear and disbelief.
- 14:16The idea that those people were so close to us carrying out such creepy
- 14:20rituals was something that challenged all logic I felt that we had entered into a
- 14:28dark and dangerous world from which we did not know how to escape. The
- 14:33next morning, when I returned from school, I found a horrible scene.
- 14:39In our house. They were relocating all the belongings that we had managed to
- 14:46keep those that had not forced us to throw or that my mother had sold
- 14:48to give to that miserable sect. I approached my mother with a mixture of
- 14:54anger and despair and asked her what was happening with a smile of emotion on
- 15:01her face. She told me we passed the test. According to her,
- 15:07thanks to our devotion and sacrifices over the last few months, we could now
- 15:11leave everything behind and live with the community of the Blessed Cross. I told
- 15:16him I wouldn' t, that my grandparents would never allow it. However,
- 15:20they practically put me and my brothers into those vans, by force.
- 15:26We arrived at the so- called community, a place surrounded by high walls
- 15:31and barbed wire as if they were trying to keep us prisoners. They drove
- 15:37us to a barn that had been conditioned as a huge room for children and
- 15:41teenagers. He hated that place, for there was no privacy and the feeling
- 15:48of being constantly watched became overwhelming. Day after day, we realized that we
- 15:54were not allowed to leave under any circumstances, even to go to school.
- 16:00They taught us in a communal classroom where children of different ages were forced to
- 16:06study only the Bible. We had to recite passages of memory every day and
- 16:11those who could not do so were punished with whippings on their fingers using a
- 16:17wooden rule. And I' d love to say that was the worst thing
- 16:22in that place. But you really should always be alert at that place.
- 16:26What I' m going to tell you next will sound very strange, but
- 16:30I swear it' s real, although I completely don' t know what
- 16:36purpose they didn' t do or who this person was. But some random
- 16:37nights during some hour of the morning, someone came into the barn where the
- 16:42minors slept. Like I said, I don' t know why, but
- 16:48he or she. Actually, I' m not sure. I was walking
- 16:51in. I had a lot of those tubes that in trolling shine in the
- 16:56dark, so you could sort of distinguish it. But that wasn' t
- 17:00the strangest thing, but in a few moments he would jump, but squatting
- 17:04and then sniffing at the mattresses of the beds, not us, and he
- 17:10wouldn' t do anything detestable literally either, he would just sniff out some
- 17:15mattresses and then he would just walk out of the place most of the time
- 17:22laughing no one had ever dared to look directly at us all in fear and
- 17:27disgust and in case that was little with time, I started to realize that
- 17:33almost every day animals came to the place, but we never saw them again
- 17:37in the vicinity. Horrible chants resounded during the nights mixed with the agonizing screams
- 17:44of animals. Those who dared to look through the windows were punished without receiving
- 17:49food, until they practically fainted the feeling of being trapped in that place became
- 17:56unbearable. Each of my brothers and I witnessed inhumane practices and abuses. I
- 18:04' d like to be more explicit about this, but I' ll just
- 18:10say I never wish that to anyone, no matter what he did to me.
- 18:14And the worst thing for me, at least, was that my mother
- 18:18seemed to totally agree with everything they were doing to us. I' d
- 18:23like to say I got out of there with my brothers in no time.
- 18:26However, we couldn' t find a way out of there. I was
- 18:33a few days away from 15 years old, two girls, one year younger
- 18:37than I wanted to leave. We had already abandoned the idea that our respective
- 18:42parents would help us for what we were planning. On our own. We
- 18:48had managed to steal a key from a door. We should just get to
- 18:52the road to ask for help. We were ready and we knew we should
- 18:57hurry, since when I turned fifteen, I would be changed to the adult
- 19:02room. And even though I didn' t know how different that would be,
- 19:07I was very terrified. However, just the day I got out of
- 19:11that hell that place showed me that what I had lived up to that moment
- 19:17was not even a small part of the mysteries that place has behind its walls.
- 19:22I remember well that after the Bible study class we got up to go
- 19:26do some chores that we had to do before lunchtime. Both my brothers and
- 19:33my two friends had the plan to leave that night, so we knew that
- 19:37under no circumstances should we get into trouble. So when they asked me to
- 19:45stay a bit, I obeyed without objection, for we were sure they did
- 19:49not know about our plans, since we had been very discreet. I approached
- 19:55the teacher and waited for her to tell me what she wanted the truth.
- 19:59I don' t remember his exact words right now, because it was a
- 20:03rather long speech, but he basically told me that I was about to move
- 20:07into the adult room and that my mind was prepared to know things that only
- 20:12adults could understand. I didn' t answer him, because I didn'
- 20:18t want to get into trouble for saying something wrong. Then he made me
- 20:22follow her to a kind of chapel that they wouldn' t let near the
- 20:26children of the Community. But he still got me in with her. The
- 20:30place was almost empty, except for a small wooden table with a book on
- 20:36it. At first I thought it was a Bible. However, as I
- 20:40approached it was a book with red pages and golden letters. Then she told
- 20:47me other things that again I don' t remember well, but it was
- 20:52something related to divine duality, which was basically that the Bible was like the
- 20:56good side, but in that book it was on her bad side and that
- 21:00the bad side was more cooperative to manifest. When he told me that something
- 21:07inside me, he told me that something was awfully wrong, so I went
- 21:11back and told him I wanted to go back to the rest of the group
- 21:15to do my homework. However, at that time I realized that she had
- 21:18left the chapel and closed the door of a single whip to leave me locked
- 21:22there, at the same time that the lights went out, leaving the place
- 21:27in a thick darkness. Even though there was still sun outside, it was
- 21:33trying to calm me down. I think it was about five minutes before some
- 21:37black light lanterns went on. I hadn' t even finished processing what had
- 21:45happened. I felt an icy breath in my neck. I immediately turned and
- 21:49before my eyes I could not say what it was that I could not be
- 21:56human. Even though he looks thin. Her skin hung all over her body
- 21:59wine and her face was like a normal face, only that it was as
- 22:03if a thin layer of skin covered her completely, covering her mouth, nose
- 22:08and eyes screamed wildly to open the door. I even remember trying to get
- 22:15away from him falling to the floor. Then that thing crawled and started crawling
- 22:19towards me. I stinked of rotten meat and I couldn' t escape.
- 22:26Then that thing stuck too much to my face and then it did what I
- 22:30can only describe how to pretend to smell me. Then he retreated and screamed
- 22:36very young and after that he simply disappeared. Soon after they opened the door
- 22:42and, as if nothing had happened, they sent me with the rest of
- 22:47the group for my luck that night. Our plan worked and my brothers and
- 22:51my two friends got out. But after contacting our relatives, I never saw
- 22:56them again and neither did my mom. Don' t laugh at them until
- 23:00today, but at least I' ll always be grateful to have come out
- 23:04of there together with my brothers, My brothers and I were very much in
- 23:15agreement, both my parents and my grandfather until they left this world. People
- 23:21were very jealous of us because we were always together. We were the perfect
- 23:26family and I say we were until the unexpected happened. My mom and I
- 23:30were very close everywhere, we were always together. One day we decided to
- 23:37have a little meeting with one of my aunts and her daughter. My mom
- 23:41went quickly to a little time we had near the house to buy what we
- 23:45were going to occupy, to make dinner where we lived. They were some
- 23:52apartments in our was on the first floor we had elevator or stairs. We
- 23:56knew my mom would get here fast, as she always had the habit of
- 24:00climbing up the elevator. After a while we heard a very loud noise,
- 24:06as if it were a blow against the wall we opened the door, but
- 24:10nothing had happened. It was just my mom who had come with the shopping,
- 24:15but we noticed it strange, because when the elevator door opened she had
- 24:18a look a little lost as if she had seen a ghost. We approached
- 24:25her and asked her if anything happened to her and she just smiled. He
- 24:29said that nothing had happened to him, that he felt a very strong pressure
- 24:33on his chest, but he had already missed it. I kept seeing her
- 24:36because I still noticed her strange. We went into the house and everything got
- 24:41worse. My aunt told my mom to go to bed for a while that
- 24:45between her, my cousin and I would make the food and when she was
- 24:48ready and we would talk to my brothers and her to go down to eat,
- 24:52she agreed, but she didn' t go to her room, but
- 24:56she left the house. We didn' t take him seriously because we thought
- 25:02maybe he wanted just a little air. The food was already made, we
- 25:06talked to my brothers to get them down. We' re waiting for my
- 25:10mom to arrive. We served the table and heard that they knocked on the
- 25:14door. We looked out the door slit and saw my mom, but we
- 25:18didn' t want to open because what she looked like terrified us, in
- 25:22fact, was my mom, but with a different look. His face was
- 25:26full of blood, his eyes were wide open, he had no eyelids and
- 25:30a big smile. It seemed as if she had cut herself to make a
- 25:36smile, like the villain of the gentleman of the night. She kept knocking
- 25:41on the door. My brothers locked themselves in his room and my aunt protected
- 25:44us. He stood in front of us and talked to my mom. We
- 25:49decided to open him up and he headed for the kitchen. She said we
- 25:52were going to eat, that she would warm our food. We watched her
- 25:57from a distance and her attitude was not good at all. It was a
- 26:03typical horror movie behavior. It was cut with the glasses and drained blood into
- 26:08the pan. He was batting something and he didn' t care if it
- 26:12was filled with blood. My aunt told her that we had already prepared,
- 26:15that we were just waiting for her to sit down. She got so upset
- 26:21that she put her ugly face on her face, and with an impressive force,
- 26:26she threw my aunt into the couch in the living room. I was
- 26:29dying of fear, I didn' t know what to do. My cousin
- 26:33and I helped my aunt stand up. We ran for my brothers and locked
- 26:37ourselves together in a room. A few days later we noticed that my mom
- 26:42kept her locked up in the house, but she talked to someone and threw
- 26:49things at us to forget about that bad moment we went to a camp that
- 26:55we were invited to in a forest where we thought there was nothing and on
- 26:59the contrary, there were many people and places I visited. We loved it.
- 27:02It' s time to go for a ride on a boat we'
- 27:06d rent, but something unexpected happened to us. My mom had come to
- 27:08the place full of blood screaming at us because we left her alone. We
- 27:12tried to run away from her fury, but she caught up with my cousin
- 27:18I managed to take refuge in a hiding place through the pile of trees that
- 27:22there were and I could see her ripping her hair out of a tail and
- 27:27biting her in different parts of the body so that she would tell us where
- 27:30we were all hiding. But she couldn' t talk anymore because she was
- 27:33already dead. To the lady who rented us the cabins for the camp,
- 27:38we explained from the beginning to the date that it had happened with my mom.
- 27:42She told us that she knew a family that had gone through the same
- 27:47thing, that they had lived in the same unit and that they were said
- 27:52to have been attacked by a witch who lived in the same building that we
- 27:57still said there was a solution, but that is it was only in my
- 28:03hands, because it was necessary for me to be a woman who had her
- 28:07blood in order to end this nightmare. Obviously, that night I didn'
- 28:11t get to sleep as vividly as I had the memory of my cousin'
- 28:15s death and think about how to give the news to my aunt, imagine
- 28:19it had to be me that broke up with my mom. Also, I
- 28:23was afraid, because I knew perfectly well that she was possessed and could hurt
- 28:29me a lot. The other day I braved myself and talked to my aunt
- 28:33emphasizing that it wasn' t my mother who had killed my cousin' s
- 28:37life. I told her the lady rents the cabins. She told me mom
- 28:42' s most likely possessed by an evil spirit that got out of hand with
- 28:48a neighbor who' s a witch. I explained that she didn' t
- 28:53believe me much at first, but when she remembered how my mom had acted
- 28:59on the day of the meeting she ended up making her accept that it made
- 29:00sense. So he decided to help me. So do I. She covered
- 29:06the requirements of being a woman and of the same blood she would say to
- 29:11end this hell and in memory of my cousin we went out looking for Mom.
- 29:17After a couple of days we found her in one of the rental cabins
- 29:21in the woods. Both cabins and mom looked dirty and messed up. I
- 29:27approached her and treated her as if nothing had happened. I hugged her trying
- 29:33to hide my fear and told her I missed her and wanted us to go
- 29:37home. She hugged me, but she held me tight and told me I
- 29:41don' t believe in your word You' re lying You don' t
- 29:45want to be with me anymore. I felt like I was losing control of
- 29:48the situation. Still, I kept her calm and distracted her the time it
- 29:52took for help to come. When the time came, my aunt came out
- 29:57of nowhere and threw a bucket of water at her. My mom screamed in
- 30:02pain like she was burning. My aunt told me it was holy water to
- 30:07take out the being who owned it. But suddenly she was able to recover
- 30:11and chased us all over the place wanting to kill us and screaming curses.
- 30:17The lady from the cabin showed up and could hug her from behind and tie
- 30:22her hands. She covered her head and we took her to a cabin where
- 30:25she was living. Once inside, the lady made a magic spell in the
- 30:30old tongue and threw it at my mom. She resisted, but finally managed
- 30:34to get out. What she was wearing was a black shadow, and the
- 30:40lady cast another spell that caused that shadow to disintegrate. I ran to my
- 30:45mom to see if she was still alive or dead, as they had possessed
- 30:48her body. The lady told me she was going to be fine, that
- 30:52she only needed medical attention. We called an ambulance that took my mother to
- 30:59give her what was foolishly quoted. As they walked away, I turned to
- 31:03my aunt, who wept for the loss of her daughter, but she was
- 31:08somewhat comforted to know that it had not been my mother who committed the crime.
- 31:12Also, during the time Mom was in the hospital, I was with
- 31:17my aunt to make the situation more bearable. My brothers and dad decided to
- 31:22live away from anything that could remind them of the horrible event, so they
- 31:27left us alone. I would not abandon my mother, who had been a
- 31:33victim of human evil. After months they gave me the good news that I
- 31:38could already take to my mom because I had already improved noticeably. We went
- 31:45home and everything was fine. My mom was already feeling better and we were
- 31:48making plans to move somewhere else to start a new life together. So we
- 31:55went to look for places for our new home. We found one that we
- 32:00both loved, gave the money and moved in right away. Everything was fine
- 32:05until I met the lady from the cabin. I noticed her differently, maybe
- 32:09something strange in her eyes or a different vibe. I' m not sure.
- 32:15Her attitude was the same, but something in her scared me. I
- 32:19didn' t care and thanked her, as she helped me get my mom
- 32:22back, a neighbor she had started friendship with. She told me to be
- 32:30careful who I put my trust in and asked that I not leave my mother
- 32:35alone, because when I was gone, my mother acted differently than when I
- 32:38was with her, who talked to evil beings, especially when I had a
- 32:44certain visit. Turns out that demon came back to her, but in a
- 32:49more cautious way, because my mom made a pact with the Devil and the
- 32:52devil was the lady in the cabin, but she was disguised as a person.
- 32:58I wasn' t willing to lose my mother that easily. Therefore,
- 33:01I decided to find out what it takes to undo such a pact I knocked
- 33:07on many doors. Some were not opened, others were almost inaccessible. Finally,
- 33:13an elderly woman who saw me very distressed took me home and showed me
- 33:16some rather old books, full of disturbing symbols and images. He took one
- 33:23that, according to her, was written in Hebrew by the Devil himself.
- 33:29I don' t remember if he said the manual or instructive book of San
- 33:34Cipriano in which he described what I required. In that manual it comes as
- 33:38making a pact with the Dark Lord as well as undoing it, and that,
- 33:43to say the old woman was a thousand times more difficult and dangerous than
- 33:49the first thing we see. Like me, I didn' t make the
- 33:51pact and I want to save a soul from eternal fire. I must be
- 33:53a good person, pure and without bad desires towards my neighbor. I think
- 33:58that I do cover him with a brave and noble heart, because what is
- 34:02requested is not anything. It was necessary to gather certain things together to achieve
- 34:08my purpose. A gray cat, a dagger of white mango, a leaf
- 34:13of virgin parchment made dust of bones, charcoal, a black silk scarf,
- 34:17two objects of gold or silver preferably, coins, water, river clean and
- 34:22my blood. When I had everything, I met the old woman and she
- 34:28gave me the instructions along with a thousand recommendations and many other blessings. The
- 34:34ritual had to be performed in the woods at midnight and without moonlight. For
- 34:39my good luck, that day there was no moon and I could do what
- 34:44I needed. I drew a staff on the earth with the inverted star,
- 34:50knowing perfectly what the first step was to summon the great goat with the horns,
- 34:53pointing the cat to the north, cleaning his eyes with the silk scarf
- 34:58bathing in the river water and after that, with the same handkerchief, rubbed
- 35:01my eyes and began to recite a few words in Hebrew for him to appear.
- 35:10That' s how I spent a long time, maybe two or three
- 35:15hours, when the gentleman was meant to show up. It was enormously imposing
- 35:19with a thundering voice rumbling inside my head to see it if it caused all
- 35:23my fears to swell my heart seemed to want to come out of my chest
- 35:30and I was about to cry. I still don' t understand how I
- 35:34managed to contain my inhumane voice. He asked why I had dared to call
- 35:37him. I took courage from all the love I' ve always felt for
- 35:43my mother and told her. I demand that you release my mom' s
- 35:45soul. She' s a good woman and you have no right to take
- 35:50her from me. He replied that no one is forced to agree with anyone,
- 35:54that my mom had made use of her free will by choosing to close
- 35:59a deal with him, that she had done her part and collected what was
- 36:02agreed. Your mother lived a good life and was happy many years married,
- 36:07had children, loved and loved. He got a lot more than he would
- 36:14have had without me tell me something you know what the deal was. Of
- 36:17course not, you' re just demanding, but I' m gonna tell
- 36:22you. Your mom was a young girl about thirteen years old. One day
- 36:27I was playing in the woods you know. When a guy approached him with
- 36:30the worst intentions. Your mother ran as fast as she could, but the
- 36:37man caught her and abused her. Not according to that, he stuck a
- 36:40dagger in his belly several times. While this was happening, she implored her
- 36:45god to save her. Obviously, it didn' t happen. Almost on
- 36:52the verge of death he called me making the same request with a plus.
- 36:55She wanted to see the man who hurt her and exard die and I told
- 37:00her that all she wanted, in return, was the recognition of who had
- 37:05really helped her and she would live happily for a long time, but that
- 37:09her soul would be mine when she turned fifty- five. Obviously he accepted
- 37:15and we both fulfilled when he stopped bleeding and got up he saw the coward
- 37:22running away by jumping a fence with so little sense that he fell from his
- 37:25mouth as a bear went through his throat. Your mother told her parents what
- 37:29had happened and who had saved her. They didn' t think it was
- 37:36real, but she was aware of everything. I never saw her worried about
- 37:40anything else, and if she had a dilemma, she would always turn.
- 37:44She had everything I promised her and now she' s with me what you
- 37:49saw in the woods wasn' t your mom and if you go now you
- 37:52' ll only find her inert body. That filled me with pain because I
- 37:58loved my mom and wanted to live very long with her. That' s
- 38:02when I let out the bitterest cry I' ve ever had. I told
- 38:07her it wasn' t fair to her or me that she would have taken
- 38:10her without giving us a chance to say goodbye You got what you need.
- 38:15He told me the scroll, the charcoal of bones, the dagger and your
- 38:21blood. The next step is missing, and now we' ll see that
- 38:25you' re made with the dagger. You' re gonna cut off your
- 38:28heart finger and mix the blood that comes out with the coal of bones.
- 38:32That' ll be your ink. I asked him so I' d want
- 38:37to write something and he told me it was time for me to make a
- 38:40contract. I didn' t think of it. I made the ink of
- 38:44bones and blood to reflect my desire on the scroll. I wanted to see
- 38:47my mommy and say goodbye to her. I wanted a hug and a kiss
- 38:52from her on my forehead. I wanted to know that he' d be
- 38:55fine where he was. I finished writing and signed it. He put the
- 39:00same clauses as with my mother, a good life, without problems, surrounded
- 39:05by love in exchange for resorting only to him until he was sixty- five,
- 39:09ten years more you go well, I hope you don' t chicken
- 39:15out on the next step. Take my hand and go to the river Ordained.
- 39:20We walked together for a while until we got to the river. There
- 39:22was a boat waiting for us with his boatman. I felt the forces abandoning
- 39:28me when I recognized caron even though I had never seen him. I knew
- 39:32it was him, because it coincided with what was described in Greek mythology.
- 39:37I thought about not approaching transport to the other world, but he could more
- 39:43the love that I had for my mommy. When he went up he applied
- 39:46for the pay and I delivered the two silver coins. We went through the
- 39:51river and didn' t remember it that long until we reached a grotto at
- 39:55the entrance we stopped and descended from the boat. My mom was there and
- 40:00as I waited for her to arrive, I ran to hug her and told
- 40:04her I wanted to stay with her. They both said that was not possible.
- 40:07The Dark Lord and mother who was to continue my life and enjoy all
- 40:12the good that this one had. She assured me that he was not bad,
- 40:16that he had always looked after his well- being that the time had
- 40:22simply come for him to abandon earthly life. But that did not make her
- 40:25a pitiful soul, for she had the best memories of her family and friends
- 40:30and was now in her new home and was happy to hear those words.
- 40:35I was very comforted by all the kisses I could no longer give her,
- 40:39and I promised her that I would strive to be blissful, to be a
- 40:44great human being, as she was, and to be worthy to receive love.
- 40:49The Dark Lord returned me to the forest and emphasized to me that he
- 40:53always kept his promises, that he would always be taking care of me and
- 40:58would put everything to live well and happy that depended on me to know how
- 41:02to take advantage of the opportunities that he presented me. Before he left,
- 41:06I asked him how it was possible that he could see him if he was
- 41:10not on the verge of death. That' s what the cat' s
- 41:14eyes are for. Take good care of that gift Who doesn' t know
- 41:19will say you' re crazy when you say you can see paranormal things,
- 41:25but it will save you from many dangers and it was just like he told
- 41:27me. My cat eyes freed me from many negative people and helped me see
- 41:31the opportunities he put in my way. I have been a person who accomplished
- 41:37everything that was proposed, I had money, houses, trips and knew the
- 41:42love of my life without needing to kiss. Toads. Today I celebrate my
- 41:46sixty- fiveth birthday with a big party, because I know it' s
- 41:52my farewell. He' s already waiting for me mixed up among the guests
- 41:55and when the last bell of the day rings, I' ll be able
- 42:00to meet Mom again. When I was a child and watched horror movies,
- 42:09I used to have nightmares related to them and at that time, at the
- 42:14age of nine, I still slept in the same room where my parents slept.
- 42:17That' s why I was less afraid of watching horror movies and having
- 42:22nightmares, because somehow I knew I was counting on them. I grew up
- 42:29and at the age of eleven, my parents had enough money to build my
- 42:32own bedroom. Then I conditioned it and decorated it with the things I liked
- 42:38at the time, that is, things of terror. Well, after two
- 42:42years of fearing horror movies and terror in general, I had become a big
- 42:46fan of the genre. Fear became obsession. That' s why I started
- 42:52filling my room with posters of famous horror movies. The obsession with this genre
- 42:58became quite large, so much so that I formed my own collection of second
- 43:04- hand VHS tapes dealing with it. I had entered adolescence and intended to
- 43:09seek my identity based on novels, classics, stories, stories, films and
- 43:15everything I could find from it. At that time, access to the Internet
- 43:21was not available, as it was in the mid- 1990s, where only
- 43:24families with the greatest purchasing power could have a computer and why not also access
- 43:30to the Internet. But on the part of my family it was not possible,
- 43:36because we were of a lower middle class where my parents generated just money
- 43:40to keep a house standing and me as a child, little by little,
- 43:45with my savings, I managed to buy a little bit of horror literature,
- 43:49not so childish, but with more serious content. As for terror. They
- 43:52were authors such as Marre Shelley, Arc, Rallan Poe, Steven Caine,
- 43:58Hp, Lapcraft, bram Stocker, among others. In my house these kinds
- 44:02of books were forbidden, as my parents were very religious, but still they
- 44:07respected my privacy. I grew up and gradually collected more items, dolls,
- 44:14stuffed animals, prop medals, symbols, weird, prints, cards, etcetera.
- 44:22It seems that life led me to find in certain squares and shopping malls
- 44:25this type of items, although also at the time my world was something common.
- 44:31As a teenager I revolved around terror. I remember very well that at
- 44:37the age of sixteen I already knew enough about this genre and every day I
- 44:42thought about how to acquire more articles and find new things within it. It
- 44:47was like a friend of high school where I was studying and who was older
- 44:52than I for almost nineteen years, because at that time it was common for
- 44:57older people of the common age of an institution to enter to study. He
- 45:00recommended that I read a little stronger things, such as the Black Bible,
- 45:06Solomon’ s minor key, Malies, Maleficarum, and a few more.
- 45:09Besides that he was a fanatic of Allester Crowley' s ideology, for he
- 45:15was the greatest occultist in history and, moreover, obsessed with his book called
- 45:19the Book of Law, for my friend took quite real the fact that Crowley
- 45:22had received, through some kind of contact as Medium, the words written in
- 45:27that book by a being called to Iguas. I listened to everything he told
- 45:36me and gradually became more interested in what he read and believed, because terror
- 45:39and occultism is something that becomes an obsession that you blind. If you'
- 45:45re not careful. I was increasingly curious to know everything he was talking about
- 45:50and without my parents or him knowing, I started to ask in the bookstores
- 45:53near my city if they had in existence r S al guna s O s
- 45:58O S or s rlsás simple that it was from one of those books.
- 46:01However, the prejudices that existed at that time made the sellers of those bookstores
- 46:07end up being hostile to me, as they mentioned that they were not suitable
- 46:13books for a teenager. So, I spent some time visiting more bookstores without
- 46:19having any success. One day, being my birthday, my friend visited me
- 46:23and gave me a present. From the moment he gave it to me,
- 46:27I knew it was a book and he also confirmed it, but he told
- 46:30me not to open it until later, as it was not such a common
- 46:34book. Immediately I hid it so my parents wouldn' t notice and when
- 46:38I had the opportunity at night in my room, I opened it and realized
- 46:43it was the Satanic Bible. At that time, my eyes shone, as
- 46:46I had previously researched something of Antan Sandor Daddy, who, in turn,
- 46:52was also a Crolei fan I did not think twice about removing the packaging and
- 46:58beginning to read it, and so I did. I followed the course of
- 47:01reading and came across an ideology about Lucifer very different from the common one in
- 47:06society where this was a symbol of enlightenment and wisdom. In addition, I
- 47:12learned from this book not only that there are spells in different languages, but
- 47:17I also learned that there is the Enochean language and also some rituals that he
- 47:22himself encouraged you to perform. Right now. It was when again I began
- 47:28to feel a rather strong fear, as it was an unknown subject for me.
- 47:31This kind of rites went beyond what I used to read as terror Then
- 47:37I realized that I had entered the world of occultism and had to overcome the
- 47:40fear of getting into this subject, because in my way of thinking, as
- 47:45a teenager and immature, I thought that being afraid of these things was pretty
- 47:50silly and they were just words. So, with that thought, I decided
- 47:54to go into that world. Shortly afterwards I began to try to follow the
- 48:00rituals to find out what was going on, but I must mention that nothing
- 48:05bad or unusual happened at any time. That made me think that everything the
- 48:08book said was fantasy and told my friend that he gave it to me.
- 48:14He told me to be careful, because the book and what it contained was
- 48:17respectful and I had given it to me because I thought it was mature enough.
- 48:22To take seriously what it contained. Therefore, he asked me if I
- 48:28had practiced any ritual written there, to which I replied no, but I
- 48:32knew that I had and believed that not telling him was the right thing to
- 48:37do at the time. So I continued for a few days, until one
- 48:42day, already seventeen years old and almost leaving high school, I arrived drunk
- 48:46at my house. I locked myself in my room playing the music I liked
- 48:52at a very high volume. I turned off the lights and started to say
- 48:55loudly that everything the book said was nonsense. If there really was something I
- 49:01mentioned in those rituals, it would become present that time, like everyone else,
- 49:07nothing happened. It' s been a while. I turned off the
- 49:10music, because the dream invaded me and I fell deeply asleep on top of
- 49:15my bed. A couple of days passed and I forgot in a corner of
- 49:19my bookseller, that book. I continued with my normal life for those days,
- 49:22but on the night of the second day, when I was about to
- 49:27sleep, I began to hear strange sounds under my bed. Obviously, I
- 49:31attributed those sounds to the expansion and accommodation of molecules due to building materials and
- 49:37climate. That day nothing else happened and I fell asleep, but I had
- 49:43a nightmare and woke up suddenly, for I had not had them for a
- 49:46long time and now they had returned. I got up, put music back
- 49:52to low volume level and tried to sleep again all of a sudden, the
- 49:57volume of the recorder went up suddenly and again or sono woke up. I
- 50:01turned off the recorder and disconnected it, thinking that it probably had some flaw
- 50:07in the volume knob. I decided to sleep again, although this time it
- 50:10cost me more work, but in the end I did it. I estimate
- 50:15that a few hours passed and the recorder returned to high volume. I woke
- 50:20up quite tired, as the unrevealed woman had done justice and at that moment
- 50:24I realized that the recorder was still disconnected. That made me very excited and
- 50:30I lit up a jump from my bed. I observed carefully and effectively,
- 50:36there was no way that the recorder would be re- on. Then I
- 50:39took it and took it out of my room to keep it in a cellar
- 50:45of forgotten things that were in the house. I went back to my exalted
- 50:47and frightened room, and tried to get some sleep, because the clock marked
- 50:52almost four a m and I had to get up at five a m to
- 50:58bathe and go to school. I managed to sleep for only half an hour
- 51:01and started doing my daily routine to go to school. That night it was
- 51:07heavier, for when I lay down I heard scratches at the base of my
- 51:10bed, which was metal and had a metal mesh base that supported the mattress.
- 51:15I looked up quickly, because I thought it was my cat and that
- 51:20it had gotten under it. But the surprise was that there was nothing under
- 51:23it, just fluff, dust and shoes that I didn' t wear again.
- 51:29I thought it was her management or tiredness I turned off the light and
- 51:34closed my eyes again, but this time I felt that they pushed the mattress
- 51:37up from under the bed, as if someone were leaning on the floor and
- 51:42with their hands or feet pushing the base up. I got up quickly and
- 51:46turned on the light again to realize that there was nothing at the time.
- 51:52I decided to go down to the living room of my house and sleep for
- 51:54that night. There. The next day, my mom woke me up asking
- 52:00what she was doing there. I invented that I couldn' t sleep and
- 52:02went down to watch TV and as a result, I fell asleep. She
- 52:06believed the story and rushed me to get ready and go to school. From
- 52:10that day on I began to keep my distance with my friend, because the
- 52:15experience I had had the night before had been not at all pleasant and I
- 52:21thought that in that way there was not going to be any reason that would
- 52:24make me follow in the world of occultism. I thought enough that day that
- 52:28was what had happened, but I found no answer. Therefore, I made
- 52:32the decision to leave the book for peace and stay out of those issues and
- 52:37continue only as I did before in the basic terror, which is more fanciful
- 52:42than real. I got home, started cleaning my room with great caution.
- 52:49As I looked under the bed and picked up everything, I felt calmer.
- 52:53The night came and I set out to sleep one more time. Almost asleep,
- 52:58I had the sensation of the famous sleep paralysis fa, but at the
- 53:01same time I heard blows on the floor just under my bed, which could
- 53:07not exist, as it was the roof of the ground floor. I tried
- 53:10to move without success, because the paralysis did not allow me. I began
- 53:15to believe in the rise of the dead, as they call it here in
- 53:20Mexico, because I had great pressure on my chest and felt suffocated and without
- 53:24the ability to move hands or feet. The blows were getting stronger and later
- 53:29they became pushes. Each time they went up in intensity to the point where
- 53:35the bed managed to move from the floor. I guess my parents heard the
- 53:39noise and went quickly to see what was going on. However, when they
- 53:43entered the room, I was immediately able to move and the bed stopped being
- 53:47pushed. They turned on the light and asked me what was going on.
- 53:52I didn' t know what to say, because I didn' t really
- 53:55know what had happened. It took me a few seconds to recover from the
- 53:59agitation of the street and I told them that my bed had shaken very loudly
- 54:02out of nowhere. They a little more scared, asked me for details of
- 54:07what it had been like at the time. My mother, strongly commented to
- 54:12me that everything was the cause of what I collected and the subjects I liked
- 54:15to deal with. As I' ve mentioned before. I thought about it
- 54:20quickly and that day I decided to sleep in the living room, because things
- 54:23didn' t get so quiet anymore. My parents, for their part,
- 54:29made a few prayers in their room and locked mine up, and my mother
- 54:34placed the Bible in the furniture near the armchair where I went to sleep.
- 54:39The Bible was open and pointing at me, pointing at my head. That
- 54:45day I slept perfectly without any kind of nightmares as I had experienced days ago.
- 54:52I woke up the other day and my parents were already waiting for me
- 54:55worried enough in the dining room to set us up for breakfast and talk about
- 55:00the uses I had the night before. They told me it was urgent that
- 55:04I throw everything out of my bedroom and call the Father of the Church to
- 55:07bless the chamber. That same day I began to thoroughly clean my room by
- 55:13throwing away a lot of things from my collection. Several hours were spent,
- 55:17as the things I had there were many. It was about six o'
- 55:22clock in the afternoon and by the time it was dark. I just needed
- 55:27to get rid of a few things and, of course, the book.
- 55:30However, something made me believe that I was not the one who caused all
- 55:35these events, because in the end it was only literature. My mom went
- 55:39up to see what she was doing and when she saw the book, she
- 55:44took it out of my hands and right away. He scolded me strongly for
- 55:45having said book in my possession, for my whole family was Catholic and it
- 55:51was basically a great insult to have the satanic Bible in the house. He
- 55:57strongly indicated to me that I should burn it and take it away from the
- 56:01house, for I did not know what kind of energies had emanated from this
- 56:05writing. I laughed a little when he mentioned it, for despite what had
- 56:08happened I was still a little skeptical of what my mom thought had happened.
- 56:15About an hour later, I set out on a vacant lot that was about
- 56:19five minutes away from my house. I brought some gas and matches to start
- 56:23setting the book on fire. I got to the wasteland, made a hole
- 56:29and put some litter and dried herbs in it. I also sprayed the book
- 56:32with gasoline and then set up a match and throw it at this one.
- 56:37My surprise was great when I realized that the match went out when it fell
- 56:42into the book. I thought it might have gone out in the air in
- 56:45the course of the fall, so I re- opened another match. I
- 56:50approached a few inches from the book to drop the cedillo on, but again
- 56:55it went out. This time I realized that' s when the orchard touched
- 57:00the gas. That' s when I didn' t find any explanation,
- 57:05because it wasn' t possible for this to happen, because gasoline is too
- 57:09flame belli with any kind of spark or flame. I should have learned and
- 57:13burned a lot. I tried twice more, but I always got the same
- 57:17result. The match went out. Then I decided to pick up some dirty
- 57:22paper around and turn it on and then drop it in the book. Indeed,
- 57:28the paper remained on longer, but it also went out after a few
- 57:31seconds. That started to shudder me a lot, as I began to believe
- 57:38that what my mother said about the book was true, because as I prepared
- 57:43to leave the house and go to burn the book, my mother mentioned that
- 57:46that book had been written by a demon. That' s what Belly meant.
- 57:52Therefore, what was written within it had an evil power and energy,
- 57:55to which they would sooner or later cause some misfortune. I quickly covered the
- 58:04hole with stones and ran to my house for a lighter. Besides, to
- 58:07tell my parents what happened. When I arrived they noticed me quite agitated and
- 58:13worried. They asked me what had happened. I told what had happened and
- 58:16my mom, quite scared, ran for her holy water bible, a rosary
- 58:22and a gasoline lighter that my dad had kept for many years. My mother
- 58:29took my arm and quickly headed to the wasteland, where the book was covered
- 58:32with stones. Before we got to him, we heard someone headed for us.
- 58:39Then we stopped to turn around and see who it was, but we
- 58:44didn' t see anyone. The street was lit, but there was no
- 58:47one in it, just the two of us walking. My mom seemed to
- 58:52know a lot about supernatural issues, for she told me that if we heard
- 58:58something weird again, we shouldn' t go back, because it could be
- 59:00fatal. A few steps later we heard a macabre laugh right in the park
- 59:06in front of the wasteland. We did not turn at all and we quickly
- 59:12entered the premises to proceed to burn the book, I hastened to remove the
- 59:15stones and realized that the book was completely dry, as if it had never
- 59:21been filled with gasoline or some sort of solvent. My mother, very frightened,
- 59:25began to read Psalm 90 and one of her Bible as she put on
- 59:30her neck the rosary that had passed generation after generation in her family. After
- 59:35the article was placed around his neck, he sprinkled the book with holy water
- 59:39while reading what his Bible said. Then the laughter we had heard in the
- 59:45park was suddenly heard, but they changed to make laments only lasted a few
- 59:52seconds, but a chill ran down my mother' s back and mine.
- 59:55We realized because we both made a sudden move, inversely bending over the feeling
- 1:00:01of cold. At that moment something pushed me forward, causing me to stumble
- 1:00:07upon a pile of garbage that was near my shoes and besides, I was
- 1:00:12about to fall into the hole of the book. My mom tried to grab
- 1:00:15me in the air, but she didn' t make it, because she
- 1:00:20had her Bible in her hands. I got up quickly and with a desperate
- 1:00:23scream. My mom strongly told me to get it. I took the lighter
- 1:00:29from his left hand, turned it on, and ventured into the hole.
- 1:00:31Immediately. The book began to burn without resistance. My mom quickly put the
- 1:00:37rosary on my neck and she held her bible tightly, turning around with me
- 1:00:44and pulled me out to leave as fast as possible. While we were doing
- 1:00:49it, she told me in the ear not to turn around. We went
- 1:00:52about five steps forward and he repeated to me that whatever happened, did not
- 1:00:55turn to that place. I just said that if I move my head,
- 1:00:59I' ll get to the house. My mom took off quickly. His
- 1:01:01sweater was sprayed with water. Bless you, she took my arm and did
- 1:01:07the same thing. He sprayed me with water. He ran for an egg
- 1:01:10to the kitchen and a glass of water. He started doing some kind of
- 1:01:14ritual while cleaning me with the egg. After a few minutes he broke it,
- 1:01:19threw the contents in the glass and told me to put it under my
- 1:01:22bed for that night and the next day throw it in the toilet and throw
- 1:01:27the glass away. That' s how I did it the other day.
- 1:01:29When I woke up immediately, she realized that she had already done what she
- 1:01:34told me and asked me if I felt better. I said yes, everything
- 1:01:37was normal. She invited me to sit on the living room chair next to
- 1:01:43my father. I did so and then she began to tell me that in
- 1:01:47her youth she had also been rebellious about religion and that by playing the daughter
- 1:01:52with one of her friends they suffered an event that I will tell them later.
- 1:01:58Then they came with the brute of the people to know what they could
- 1:02:01do. He told them what to do and they did. Since that event,
- 1:02:07my mother had changed her way of thinking and had become religious. But
- 1:02:12the most surprising thing was that he told me that the sorcerer of the village
- 1:02:15was my father, but that when he married her, he never wanted to
- 1:02:21continue practicing witchcraft and had somehow been preparing my mother for a moment like this,
- 1:02:27as he saw everything I liked and collected and sensed that at some point
- 1:02:30he would need help. Now I understand why my father is fifteen years older
- 1:02:36than my mother, although by that time it was not uncommon for the man
- 1:02:40to be older, so it was the perfect disguise for his past. My
- 1:02:44father' s. I forgot to mention that my father mentioned that he could
- 1:02:49not go back to witchcraft, for to get out of that world he was
- 1:02:53given to choose between my mother and her powers and obviously chose my mother,
- 1:02:58but he also received the warning from the beings with whom he worked that if
- 1:03:02he did put his knowledge back into practice he could lose us both. That
- 1:03:07' s why he prepared my mother. I have always considered myself a very
- 1:03:17devoted person to the Catholic Church. I go every Sunday as my parents and
- 1:03:22my grandparents taught me. My mother used to say I was born with a
- 1:03:29special gift. He doesn' t know what if I haven' t discovered
- 1:03:32it to date either, but he told me that, of all the children
- 1:03:37who were born in San Miguel, I was the most special. Listening to
- 1:03:40those words from my mother always comforted me. It made me have a good
- 1:03:45self- esteem and feel no less when I was doing something wrong, when
- 1:03:49I couldn' t stand up to my classmates. I think going to Mass
- 1:03:53every Sunday and confessing, especially to my father, was a way to atone
- 1:03:59for his fish. The ill- treatment and outbursts that I sometimes had toward
- 1:04:02my mother were purified when I received the host from the Father of the Church.
- 1:04:09Those days after leaving the church, I took Mom and I to the
- 1:04:13park and they sat on that discolored old bench that looked towards the Church,
- 1:04:17while I chased the pigeons that were approaching to feed on the crumbs that they
- 1:04:21used to find on the floor. Sundays were the only days where my parents
- 1:04:29looked especially radiant. I always attributed that happiness and reconciliation to the power of
- 1:04:36God, who channels all his wisdom and love through the Father who resides in
- 1:04:41the Church. That old man is respected by everyone in this place. Even
- 1:04:46the President has a lot of respect for him and the most wealthy people also
- 1:04:51tend to kiss the hand of that saint. To a certain extent, I
- 1:04:56believe that a being of light is an enlightened person like the twelve apostles of
- 1:05:00Jesus. The figures and images that the church protects inside serve to remind us
- 1:05:06of the suffering to which the son of God was subjected for our sins.
- 1:05:12They are expressions of the purest and deepest love that only a divine being could
- 1:05:16emanate. We are beings who are always tempted to sin. Sometimes we want
- 1:05:21to eat more food than we should or usually envy the properties our neighbors or
- 1:05:28acquaintances acquire. I' ve also seen with my own eyes, as others
- 1:05:32' wife is usually desired, the fights in the canteens. Sometimes they have
- 1:05:38gone out of hand and have unintentionally killed another human. I used to give
- 1:05:42laziness to get up early to help my parents with farm work and for that
- 1:05:47reason I was born the need to pray to some of our parents the moment
- 1:05:51the devil gets into my head and tries to make me sin. But Jesus
- 1:05:58was also knotted in that journey into the wilderness before his sacrifice. I don
- 1:06:03' t think I' m big enough to do such a feat, but
- 1:06:08at least when I put divine words on my lips and approach the Lord'
- 1:06:13s temple I feel like I can dare stand before the judge. I have
- 1:06:15placed all my trust in God, creator of all that exists, although I
- 1:06:20must admit that my father was not always so devoted. While we attended Masses,
- 1:06:25they did not usually punish me by asking God for forgiveness for having committed
- 1:06:30an prank. I still remember that occasion when I forgot to close the chicken
- 1:06:34pen and ate some of the bean and tomato sprouts that my father had sown
- 1:06:39and cared for. The next day, first thing in the morning, I
- 1:06:45woke up because of the fuss my father was making screaming and blaspheming against the
- 1:06:49chickens and also like I was yelling at my mother for being so careless.
- 1:06:53I could only see that scene as my father directed all his fury against me
- 1:06:58for leaving the chickens loose in the garden the night before he hit me with
- 1:07:02his hand open in the face and it only occurred when my mother came in
- 1:07:06and begged him to leave me alone. But this was not enough to calm
- 1:07:12his anger. With his strong arms, he threw her aside and to avoid
- 1:07:15leaving marks, he knocked me in the ass. His punishment didn' t
- 1:07:21end there. He went looking for the keys to an old wardrobe he had
- 1:07:25inherited from Grandma and made me enter it. I cried for the pain and
- 1:07:29terror that had poured upon me. However, it did little good, because
- 1:07:33he locked the door and prayed to God for what he had just done and
- 1:07:36made me pray with him. Being locked in that closet with a lot of
- 1:07:43old clothes and belongings, it made me lose track of time. I don
- 1:07:47' t know if I' ve been there all day or if it'
- 1:07:51s only been a few hours. The only thing going through my mind at
- 1:07:55that time was to atone for my sin and correct my mistakes with my father
- 1:08:00through God' s forgiveness. I stayed in that small space until he let
- 1:08:04me out and with a more compassionate voice, he told me it was enough.
- 1:08:09He touched my shoulder and told me I was hoping I wouldn' t
- 1:08:13forget to put the chickens away again. That week we went to Sunday Mass
- 1:08:16and at the end of the ceremony, my father approached the priest and asked
- 1:08:20him to confess and also make room for me, as there was something we
- 1:08:25had to talk about. That was the first time I confessed, at least
- 1:08:30out loud, and since then the prayers. They became a constant in my
- 1:08:34parents' house. We all worked hard to earn the food of the day
- 1:08:41and I worked hard at school to make my parents proud. I still remember
- 1:08:46the day we lost Mom. She was always a strong, kind, loving
- 1:08:53woman and the most gentle person in the world. He had always been in
- 1:08:58good health, even when we were all sick at home. She was the
- 1:09:01one who took care of all the work of the house, the country and
- 1:09:05taking care of us. Mom loved Dad above all things. He suffered a
- 1:09:13lot when Dad enlisted in the army and went to fight in the front.
- 1:09:16I remember every night praying to the old crucifix in his bedroom and asking him
- 1:09:21to take care of him and protect him. And everything seems to indicate that,
- 1:09:26thanks to his great devotion, Dad was able to return home safely even
- 1:09:30with all his limbs, unlike the other members of his platoon, who some
- 1:09:34are now surely sitting beside God, although now that I remember him, it
- 1:09:41was from his return from war, when he became even more devoted. He
- 1:09:46placed a wooden cross that he himself built on the grove of the property'
- 1:09:50s borders and spent hours praying in that place. However, when I was
- 1:09:56finishing elementary school, Mom' s health began to degrade, her skin began
- 1:10:00to pale a strong cough left her breathless and sometimes made her bleed through the
- 1:10:05mouth her body. Little by little he became unable to hold her as she
- 1:10:12became very thin, so he fell into bed. The village doctor told my
- 1:10:16father that he had contracted tuberculosis and that we had to treat her immediately in
- 1:10:21the capital, that if he spoke to the colonel or some known army officer,
- 1:10:27they could help him. But my father said that God' s grace
- 1:10:30and goodwill would cause the disease to leave Mom' s body. So every
- 1:10:35day we prayed and begged the Lord to heal Mom, but our prayers seemed
- 1:10:41to be insufficient. After a week without Mom receiving medical attention, Dad had
- 1:10:48me accompany him to the village healer' s house, a man over sixty
- 1:10:53years old, who looked a lot younger and lived on the slopes of the
- 1:10:57mountain. There were many stories about this man. As soon as I heard
- 1:11:04it, he said that in the evenings he took a couple of guaraches,
- 1:11:09a coton and a club and went to the hill. And the next day
- 1:11:12this man already had enough pork to feed himself for a couple of weeks,
- 1:11:16and acquaintances from other nearby villages talked about the disappearance of their cattle heads.
- 1:11:24They also said that this man had the ability to perform miracles, because on
- 1:11:29one occasion one of the richest men in the village went to visit him to
- 1:11:33ask him for fortune and within a few days a telegram came to him with
- 1:11:38the news that he had inherited all the wealth of his grandmother, who lived
- 1:11:43in San Luis Potosí, of which he took charge and of which his children
- 1:11:45and grandchildren live until now. To me he seemed only a lonely man who
- 1:11:50enjoyed the peace and calm that the mountain and distance produced him. His house
- 1:11:57was a small wooden cabin that he most certainly did not beat he built with
- 1:12:00his own hands. There were no fancy objects or anything like that. Nor
- 1:12:05did he have demonic figures, as rumored among the people of the village.
- 1:12:11He was a tall, thin man with a serious face, but very kind.
- 1:12:16He' s seen us since we approached the dirt road. He greeted
- 1:12:20my father and he introduced me. He explained what was going on with Mom.
- 1:12:25The healer listened carefully and after this told him that he had to get
- 1:12:30the ingredients to prepare the medication, so he would come back in a couple
- 1:12:34of days. Dad accepted, took my hand and came back on our steps
- 1:12:40to the house. He didn' t say a word about it all along
- 1:12:45the way. Until we get home. He asked me to light the candles,
- 1:12:50turn on the stove to heat the coffee and cry for Mom' s
- 1:12:54health. After our pregarias, we dine quietly. Dad picked up the table,
- 1:13:00pulled out the dishes to wash them and told me to get ready to
- 1:13:04sleep, because when we finished with the dishes, we would pray once more
- 1:13:09before we went to bed. He bowed down and took me by both shoulders
- 1:13:13and told me that everything would be fine that God never abandons his faithful believers.
- 1:13:18The day came when he had agreed to meet with the healer, but
- 1:13:23this time he asked me to stay home and take care of mom, as
- 1:13:26the last few days her cough had gotten a little worse and I might need
- 1:13:30my help. He left for a couple of hours. He came back a
- 1:13:34little excited with a jar, looked for a spoon and told me that with
- 1:13:39that viscous and green consistency syrup, Mom would be fine without wasting time.
- 1:13:45She poured some of that medicine and made Mom swallow it. We knelt down
- 1:13:49on the bedside and prayed again for Mom' s recovery. We repeated that
- 1:13:57routine for several days and gradually the forces returned to Mama. Apparently, God
- 1:14:01had finally heard our prayers, or perhaps the medicine of the healer was fighting
- 1:14:08his illness. Whatever it was, Mom regained her blush on the cheeks,
- 1:14:14the cough began to cease, she regained her appetite, and as the days
- 1:14:17passed, Mom began to perform her labors. We were all delighted with Mom
- 1:14:24' s return. Father began to pray in private standing in front of that
- 1:14:28cross which he himself built. He spent many hours there, neglected his crops
- 1:14:32and part of his responsibilities. He probably felt he was indebted to God for
- 1:14:40the miracle he had done to us and felt the need to repay him in
- 1:14:45some way We only met to go to church together on Sundays, but we
- 1:14:50no longer went to the park and as the days passed. I noticed Dad
- 1:14:54more distant with Mom and me as if we were repulsing him. However,
- 1:15:00the taste of having Mom back didn' t last long. The day Mom
- 1:15:04died, it happened strangely well. Dad decided to fix some damage to the
- 1:15:10house. We had breakfast, prayed and ate together in the afternoon. Dad
- 1:15:15went out to the yard to remove the grass that covered the crops, which
- 1:15:19were a little careless. Mom sat down on the stairs, invited me to
- 1:15:24sit next to her, put my head on her lap and caressed my hair,
- 1:15:29while thanking me for the pregarias. He rested his head against the small
- 1:15:34railing until his hand stopped and breathed out his last breath. His lukewarm hand
- 1:15:40became icy, while his eyes denoted contempt for Dad' s figure. That
- 1:15:45same night the parish priest was called to watch Mom. Dad kept a serious,
- 1:15:50serene face throughout the event. When it was all over and the last
- 1:15:57guest was fired, he approached the coffin where he rested. Mom took her
- 1:16:00by the hand, asked her for forgiveness, and that tough man cried like
- 1:16:03a child. I joined him shortly as he promised me that he wouldn'
- 1:16:08t let anything happen to me, as he held me tight. On the
- 1:16:13day of the burial, the healer of the village was present. He did
- 1:16:16not approach the group but observed the whole process from afar. At some point,
- 1:16:21Dad disappeared, I looked him up in the crowd, and when he
- 1:16:27showed up, he had a wooden box with him. When we returned home,
- 1:16:30he left that box on the kitchen table and I was curious. The
- 1:16:35box had a small padlock, so it was impossible for me to open it
- 1:16:41to reveal its contents. I asked Dad about the box. He told me
- 1:16:45it was an amulet for good luck, health and wealth. I told him
- 1:16:49that if God would agree to receive such a thing, to which he only
- 1:16:54replied that he had abandoned us at the time he took Mom away from us.
- 1:16:59Months passed and years passed. I grew up and we both stopped attending
- 1:17:01Sunday Masses, although I used to pray in private and ask for my father,
- 1:17:08who seemed to be challenging God all that time. Luck smiled at us.
- 1:17:14Dad bought the land from the neighbors, which were quite fertile, worked
- 1:17:17them and money was never a problem. We lived comfortably, although I was
- 1:17:25a little concerned that the box I had received during Mom’ s funeral was
- 1:17:30on a shelf with flowers and candles. Of course, that box remained closed
- 1:17:33and looked like a wooden monolith that adorned the wall of the house. The
- 1:17:39healer disappeared shortly after Mom died, and I think that the box that Dad
- 1:17:44received was a farewell gift from that man and perhaps a way to make up
- 1:17:48for Mom' s loss with goods and wealth. The truth is that it
- 1:17:55' s something I don' t know, because the few times I questioned
- 1:17:59the origin of that relic Dad, he didn' t answer and said to
- 1:18:03stop spinning it, that when it was my turn to inherit it, I
- 1:18:08could do with it whatever I wanted. I met a good girl in college,
- 1:18:11we became boyfriends, and when we both graduated, we decided to get
- 1:18:15married. She insisted on going to the capital. I could not leave my
- 1:18:19father and his lands to his fate, since he had grown old and with
- 1:18:24them his health began to deteriorate. However, it never stopped me from leaving
- 1:18:29that place, but I felt that I had to repay everything I had done
- 1:18:33for me, although I also wanted to go out and meet the world with
- 1:18:40my wife I talked to her and we both knew that Dad didn' t
- 1:18:44have much time left, so he agreed to stay and take care of him
- 1:18:47and his business so we wouldn' t leave him completely alone. Soon,
- 1:18:50Dad died in his sleep. We didn' t notice until we looked for
- 1:18:57him for breakfast and he didn' t answer. She was last in bed
- 1:19:00with her gaze fixed, seeing the ceiling and an expression of terror. I
- 1:19:04took care of her resting for eternity next to Mom. And though since she
- 1:19:09passed away she had distanced herself from the church, I had placed a great
- 1:19:14cross upon her tomb. When we packed all his belongings, the Wood Monolith
- 1:19:18appeared again, which still kept that old padlock guarding its contents, my wife
- 1:19:25insisted on getting rid of the box, as there was no key anywhere.
- 1:19:30However, I refused, since I had been very curious about that vessel since
- 1:19:34I was a child. And now, it was finally mine. We kept
- 1:19:40all my father' s belongings in a small warehouse in the house and kept
- 1:19:44the box in my luggage. We moved to the capital, to a house
- 1:19:47my wife' s parents had left us in what we were familiar with the
- 1:19:53city. We were busy for quite some time with the whole move, so
- 1:19:58that errant box was out of my sight and mind until she got pregnant and
- 1:20:01we had to move to another larger house to be able to raise our baby
- 1:20:06And again, with all the movement the box resurfaced. We both thought he
- 1:20:14had gone astray and my wife insisted on getting rid of that trinket, an
- 1:20:18idea I refused. We finally settled in a nice house near the city.
- 1:20:24The pregnancy seemed to go great. I went into work at a auto parts
- 1:20:29factory and my boss had recommended me for a promotion. All our friends and
- 1:20:33family enjoyed a good life too. But things started to go wrong since the
- 1:20:40day I opened that damn box. Since I didn' t have the key
- 1:20:45to the lock, I forced it with tweezers, a lever and a hammer.
- 1:20:48That day I discovered that it was not a decorative box, but a
- 1:20:54container of something beyond what I understand. Inside that container was a demonic figure
- 1:20:59wrapped in a bunch of papers with writings and symbols that I don' t
- 1:21:03know. The expression of this carved relic has an evil laughter and even burlesque
- 1:21:12would not know how to adapt a date or time, in particular, when
- 1:21:15it was realized and much less by who or who. But my intelligence and
- 1:21:19reasoning was tested when I tried to put it back in that wooden box,
- 1:21:25as it was impossible for me. The figure seemed to have acquired other dimensions
- 1:21:30for more than just if I opened the box and lifted it to inspect it,
- 1:21:35I arranged it in different ways, but simply the figure refused to enter
- 1:21:40its container. For this reason, I only covered it with blankets that we
- 1:21:44didn' t use and kept it in a closet so that at least its
- 1:21:47existence wouldn' t disturb my mind. After that event, my whole life
- 1:21:53began to go fatal. My boss died in a car accident on the Huehotzingo
- 1:21:58stretch, while traveling with his entire family on vacation. Apparently they were pressed
- 1:22:04under a trailer. However, they did not die instantly. My boss remained
- 1:22:11alive long enough to see his two little children and his wife die from the
- 1:22:15inability of doctors and policemen to remove the metals that crossed their bodies in seemingly
- 1:22:21unexplained ways, so my promotion never proceeded. My wife' s parents were
- 1:22:29brutally murdered during a kidnapping that went out of control as they walked home,
- 1:22:34apparently a couple of subjects intercepted them, put them in a vehicle, and
- 1:22:40called my wife to ask for a ridiculous ransom. Without us noticing the authorities.
- 1:22:45We didn' t have much money, but if the land my father
- 1:22:49had inherited from me, we sold it as soon as possible. We borrowed
- 1:22:54from friends and family, but we still didn' t get the amount we
- 1:22:59were asked for ransom. They started sending mutilated parts home to pressure us.
- 1:23:04First we got a finger, then an ear, until we were told that
- 1:23:10the proceeds were enough to rescue just one of the two. After a thousand
- 1:23:15laps, my wife, after talking for a few seconds on the phone with
- 1:23:19her dad, made the decision that we should pay my mother- in-
- 1:23:24law' s ransom, as he was very ill and could not bear to
- 1:23:29see his wife suffer any more. I took care of delivering all the money,
- 1:23:31as requested. The kidnappers handed me my handcuffed, gagged mother- in
- 1:23:39- law with her head covered. I immediately took her to the hospital,
- 1:23:44but apparently she had been subjected to severe torture, because the finger they sent
- 1:23:48us was hers and because the wound had not been treated, she had been
- 1:23:51infected. That poor woman just begged us to let her die. The doctors
- 1:23:57gave us no hope and my dream also passed away. Soon, my wife
- 1:24:02was devastated. He just kept us together and a little sanity. The baby
- 1:24:08we were expecting. I attributed all those tragedies to the damn figure who was
- 1:24:13at home, who had forgotten to be shocked by all the bad news we
- 1:24:17were going through, so I set out to break it or get rid of
- 1:24:23it somehow to my surprise, although I don' t know if my memory
- 1:24:28increases. They betrayed me when I uncovered it, it was in another pose
- 1:24:31and no matter how I took it. His eyes always seemed to point to
- 1:24:36where I was. I tried to break it with the edge of the table,
- 1:24:42but it didn' t make a mark. I tried a hammer and
- 1:24:45there wasn' t much luck either. Finally, I put her in the
- 1:24:48grill with enough wood to get rid of her. But when everything was reduced
- 1:24:53to ashes, the relic was still there. The pregnancy became complicated, so
- 1:24:58I had to move my husband to the hospital and forget about that relic until
- 1:25:01I came home for clothes and other things I needed. I rolled it back
- 1:25:08into cloths. I looked for the container he was in and put them in
- 1:25:12the car I drove them to the hospital. Apparently, my wife had been
- 1:25:16admitted to the O R because the baby had very low vital signs. I
- 1:25:23could only pray and plead with God for the life of my wife and baby,
- 1:25:26hoping that he would not abandon me, as he had done decades ago,
- 1:25:30according to my father. However, it was all in vain. The
- 1:25:35nurse. Soon I was notified that the delivery had not been achieved and neither
- 1:25:40my wife nor the baby we were expecting had survived. And all this has
- 1:25:45led me to this point. I' m just outside the Church of San
- 1:25:48Miguelito, the church where I used to come as a child with my family.
- 1:25:55I bring with me this aberration whose existence is impossible to explain to me,
- 1:26:00but which has charged all that he gave to me and my father while
- 1:26:02he was confined in that wooden box that I carry in the trunk of the
- 1:26:08car, but which most likely will not do him any good, since this
- 1:26:12demon refuses to enter again. I hope the story told here will help someone
- 1:26:16find a way to stop the curse this relic brings with it. I will
- 1:26:24entrust myself to God once and ask forgiveness in advance for the capital sin that
- 1:26:28I will realize once I leave this place, But at this point I have
- 1:26:31lost every reason to live, so I hope that God can welcome me to
- 1:26:36his side. Anonymous accounts
