WEBVTT

1
00:00:01.439 --> 00:00:08.599
Funerals. It' s that moment
when surely none of us want to be.

2
00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:13.400
But, however, we have to
be in those worst moments, at

3
00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:19.800
the time when we give that last
farewell to our relative, to our friend

4
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:29.920
or simply to that person we respect
and also want. Many people believe that

5
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:37.719
in the funerals still in the soul
of this person there are different beliefs,

6
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:45.280
different religions, different cultures, that
it is said that, after having passed

7
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:53.159
away, the person can stay days
or weeks on earth, visiting their relatives

8
00:00:53.159 --> 00:01:00.840
or simply doing things that were lacking
in life. Whatever belief you have.

9
00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:08.079
We cannot deny that funerals and funerals
have a certain aura apart from sadness also

10
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:15.079
of mysticism, for there are few
accounts of people close to the deceased in

11
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:21.799
which they live at that precise moment
facts that cannot be explained, Just as

12
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:29.239
it happened to this brother who for
his sadness was giving his last farewell to

13
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:33.680
his little brother, and this little
brother asked him, begged him from his

14
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:40.359
coffin and it seemed that only he
could hear him, He repeated to him

15
00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:47.840
again and again that he would help
him, that he would help him before

16
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:57.920
burying him. His story is next
hula. Greetings Alex to You and your

17
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:01.599
entire audience. I' m going
to compare my experience. This happened when

18
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:07.039
I was twelve, but I want
everything to remain anonymous, please, as

19
00:02:07.080 --> 00:02:13.120
this experience is very personal to me
and I would not want the real names

20
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:19.879
to come out. So it turns
out that I had a younger brother who,

21
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:27.400
because of fate, passed away almost
fifteen years ago, when he was

22
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:30.879
eight. I was at that time
twelve. As you know, I was

23
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:37.240
too young to assimilate my brother'
s departure. Obviously, it hurt and

24
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:43.400
I had to go even with psychologists, since we were so attached so much

25
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:47.599
so we shared the same room.
You will understand that, after being next

26
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:52.280
to one person and day to day, not having her in your life is

27
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:58.080
very heartbreaking, but I don'
t want to talk to you about that,

28
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:02.120
but more specifically, about what happened
when we were watching him at his

29
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:07.240
funeral. Passe Turns out, like
all family members, I was wrecked.

30
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:15.520
I was crying at times and at
other times I was controlling myself, but

31
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:20.919
it turns out that among all the
whispers, among all the people who were

32
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:27.360
there family, uncles, cousins friends, I began to hear a voice that

33
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:30.039
came from my brother' s coffin. That voice I knew was my brother

34
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:34.240
' s voice. I remember that
very well. He called me by my

35
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:38.039
name, repeated my name over and
over again and told me to take it

36
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:43.319
out. He repeated me many times. Please get me out, it'

37
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:47.560
s very dark here. I was
twelve years old and I assure you that

38
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:52.199
none of that was making up my
head. I approached the coffin several times

39
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:57.919
to corroborate what I was hearing,
but I only saw my brother lying down

40
00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:03.360
without making a single noise. As
soon as I was leaving, I heard

41
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:09.479
his voice calling me to see him
again. I always kept repeating the same

42
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:15.960
thing here is very dark. Bring
me my lamp Bring me my lamp I

43
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:18.839
couldn' t assimilate that. I
even told my mother and she told me

44
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:25.040
that it was best for me to
come out than breathe fresh air and that

45
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:28.040
if this was very painful, that
I could go back to the house.

46
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:31.759
I didn' t know what to
do back then. This was not the

47
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:36.360
work of my mind, as I
outside did not listen to my brother'

48
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:42.560
s laments or that he was calling
me. It was only a matter of

49
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:47.399
opening that door, of being in
the same place with the coffin in front

50
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:51.720
when he began to hear his voice
calling me over and over again. That

51
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:56.720
was the last time I went into
that room that called me and this time

52
00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:01.319
he said something different to me.
Brother. Bring my lamp is under my

53
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:08.800
bed in the treasure chest. At
that time I remember that my brother had

54
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:13.360
a treasure chest, a plastic trunk, of course, but I hadn'

55
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:17.879
t seen it recently. To make
you honest, his stuff was his stuff.

56
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:23.879
I wasn' t messing with them, as he was playing by himself,

57
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:28.800
as I had other things to do. When my mother took me home,

58
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:33.079
since I didn' t want him
to be in the cemetery, I

59
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:35.600
took advantage of it and went up
to my brother' s room, which

60
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:40.319
was also mine. Unfortunately, my
mother had already started taking everything out,

61
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:45.480
she already had it in another room. I asked Mom, you saw a

62
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:49.600
trunk, my brother' s trunk. She said no, but all her

63
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:56.639
toys were in that room, which
she was storing. I went to his

64
00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:02.439
bed and checked under it to Alex
The trunk was there. There I took

65
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:09.480
it, opened it, and a
glove- shaped lamp was in there.

66
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:14.800
My brother has always been a big
fan of SpongeBob, so much so that

67
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:20.839
most of his toys are from this
children' s show SpongeBob, Patricio Arenita

68
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:26.079
and all the different articles that come
out in the series had them. My

69
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:30.600
brother had a chapter where a glove- shaped flashlight comes out. My father

70
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:35.920
had bought it from him and it
was on and off. I took it

71
00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:41.319
and went immediately with my mother to
beg her, to beg her, please,

72
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:45.040
to take me to the cemetery that
wanted to take this to my brother.

73
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:47.879
I don' t know how things
were, but in the end,

74
00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:55.560
if it took me I remember very
well that entering the cemetery when they were

75
00:06:56.399 --> 00:07:00.680
already about to descend it among the
whole crowd, when I was getting closer,

76
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:03.720
I kept listening to his voice.
I kept repeating my name again and

77
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:09.519
again that, please, I brought
the flashlight. I went and begged my

78
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:14.959
father to please open the glass that
I had to give him something. I

79
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:18.120
don' t know if it was
because I felt sorry or maybe because I

80
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:21.560
made a lot of trouble. At
the end of the day, I was

81
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:27.879
allowed to. They opened the glass
quickly, I left the flashlight beside him

82
00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:32.839
and finally descended the coffin They covered
it with dirt, but my brother'

83
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:38.720
s voice no longer resonated, I
no longer listened to him. Finally,

84
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:45.000
my brother had kept silent as he
grew up. Many people, hearing my

85
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:51.480
story, say that I probably had
some crisis I imagined listening to my brother

86
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:58.199
' s voice, but what many
cannot explain is like this voice that I

87
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:05.160
supposedly imagined, it could give me
to detail very specifically where that flashlight was

88
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:13.079
in his room. Like I said
before, his stuff was his stuff.

89
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:20.000
No one had that information, neither
me nor my parents. And it is

90
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:26.720
precisely because of the latter that I
am quite certain that what I heard was

91
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:31.720
not something invented by my mind.
I believe fervently that my brother was telling

92
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:43.159
me this from the taúd. A
lot happens by coincidence. By coincidence we

93
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:50.159
have saved ourselves or seen things that
even for other eyes or for most people

94
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:56.360
could be extraordinary sometimes inexplicable facts.
As amazing as they happen in front of

95
00:08:56.519 --> 00:09:00.960
one and one did not even notice
it, as happened to him by this

96
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:05.320
grandfather, who, because of time, because of the day, had to

97
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:11.639
be delayed and with his horse,
who was riding on that far road of

98
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:18.639
the village, found that a burial
was taking place in the cemetery. Little

99
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:24.080
did he know that what he was
seeing would really be paranormal, that souls

100
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:30.399
can still interact with us and that
he lived it that night, but he

101
00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:39.440
just didn' t realize this.
Your story is next hello. My name

102
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:46.039
is Anabel Martinez. I greet the
entire audience of the crypt and also the

103
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:52.159
narrator. On this occasion I want
to share with you my paranormal experience,

104
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:56.039
which, more than anything, is
the experience of my grandfather who, in

105
00:09:56.039 --> 00:10:00.799
peace, rests. He told us
this story one weekend when we went to

106
00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:05.000
his house. My grandfather is one
of those ranch people, he' s

107
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:11.759
very stubborn and he' s always
liked his life so lonely. You see

108
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:18.799
at that time, when this happened
to him, he lived absolutely alone my

109
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:22.080
grandmother. By this time all his
children had already passed away, including my

110
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:28.399
father, who was also his son, They were already married and everyone had

111
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:33.639
taken their course, of course they
were on the lookout for him, but

112
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:39.720
they had lives in other cities,
families jobs so they could come see him

113
00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:43.720
from time to time and from time
to time. I' m talking about

114
00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:46.080
months and also calling him every three
days, every two days. The old

115
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:52.000
man was already alone in his house
and even though my father told him to

116
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:58.840
come and live with us, we
were his closest relatives. He never wanted

117
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:01.519
to. They had more children to
work for, a thousand pas to work

118
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:07.960
for. He had a huge house
with different rooms for his children who were

119
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:13.440
now empty, but he liked to
live that way. Every weekend we went

120
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:18.679
with him so he wouldn' t
feel alone. And it was on these

121
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:24.279
weekends that one afternoon at night,
on Saturday, we were outside his house

122
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:30.480
roasting the OTEs. When he suddenly
gets serious and tells me, my sister,

123
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:33.360
my father and my mother that he
had a story to tell us,

124
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:39.159
which had just happened days ago,
PASSY turns out he' s not sure.

125
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:46.840
But it was perhaps a Sunday or
a Monday day, He was already

126
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:52.399
about to return, when on that
note he is missing cattle. To be

127
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:56.080
more specific, a pig and a
sheep. He gets on his horse and

128
00:11:56.559 --> 00:12:00.759
goes on his way looking for them, as either the corral where he had

129
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:07.720
them had fallen some woods and probably
these animals had gone out there. He

130
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:13.759
' s got them retired with some
boys who help him keep an eye on

131
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:16.440
them, but they haven' t
come yet. My grandfather spent hours searching

132
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:22.240
for them until the boys arrived and
helped him too. This delayed him so

133
00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:28.279
much that he was returning home later. But now at night on the way

134
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:33.559
to the house, he has to
pass through the municipal cemetery, a cemetery

135
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:39.720
that is far from the village and
other localities or houses. He too,

136
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:46.039
when he was passing by, notes
that there are a lot of people inside

137
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:50.519
the cemetery. The cemetery is like
downhill, The road is on high ground,

138
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:56.879
so at a certain distance, maybe
a few ten meters between the cemetery

139
00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:01.360
fence and the and the s road, you can perfectly see the whole cemetery

140
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:07.840
from above or almost everything, and
you see that there are many people surrounded

141
00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:16.679
in one place. And what he
thinks is good, because they' re

142
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:20.279
probably burying someone My grandfather knows very
well. It' s a lot,

143
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:24.879
but a lot of respect for what
you keep quiet about. He keeps walking

144
00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:30.720
with his horse until he realizes something
else, and there are two silhouettes between

145
00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:39.720
the tombs. Playing games draws his
attention. This turns and sees and realizes

146
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:48.399
that they are children and these children
he recognizes immediately. These are two twin

147
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:56.639
brothers belonging to a lady named Florence. The children, when they see him,

148
00:13:56.039 --> 00:14:01.000
call him don hiera, don hiera
and begin to greet him with their

149
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:05.480
hand. As I say. My
grandfather knows that burials, funerals are times

150
00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:09.879
when one has to keep quiet out
of respect for the person who has just

151
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:13.399
died and the relatives, so in
a very low tone, he says goodbye

152
00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:24.720
boys. He knew them. It
was strange to him that Florence had taken

153
00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:28.120
them to a funeral, considering that
these children were only seven years old.

154
00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:35.039
My grandfather' s on his way, but he can' t help but

155
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:39.879
think about who died. In the
nearby town. They all knew each other

156
00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:41.600
equally. It is not strange to
him that they have not told him,

157
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:46.279
for he is very secretive. My
grandfather' s house, which gives a

158
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:52.360
few miles away from the village,
so Neighbors has not even relatively close.

159
00:14:54.360 --> 00:15:00.759
He lives alone, absolutely alone in
a radius of land. In front of

160
00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:05.279
his house. There is only the
road through which the days pass and on

161
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:09.960
one occasion, when he was returning
this time and still with the sun on

162
00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:15.919
his side, he decides to stop
with the graveyard keeper, to whom he

163
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:20.240
was the son of a friend of
his greets him and greets him. Start

164
00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:26.960
talking and my grandfather among all the
talk asks him listen and you don'

165
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:31.360
t know who was the one who
died. I think she' s a

166
00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:33.919
relative of Florence, since I saw
the kids out there. It wouldn'

167
00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:37.919
t have been her husband. And
my grandfather deduces this clearly, because the

168
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:43.799
children were there and he must have
been a close relative so that Doña Florence

169
00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:52.559
would have decided to take them to
the cemetery. This boy who looked after

170
00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:56.840
the cemetery tells him how he said
he saw the children of Florence Doña.

171
00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:03.919
My grandfather tells him that, yes, I saw them playing between the graves.

172
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:10.279
This boy sees him in amazement and
tells him to see Donjera. That

173
00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:15.240
can' t be, because the
burial of those two children was on that

174
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:21.159
very day. Doña Florencia was here, but burying her two children, there

175
00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:27.360
was an accident in the village and
those two children lost their lives. Doña

176
00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:33.639
Florencia was inconsolable. As he entered
the cemetery, he could hear the screams

177
00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:41.080
he gave. They were her only
two children and her husband too were completely

178
00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:47.879
destroyed. My grandfather at the time
tells you how not to. I saw

179
00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:53.600
the twins there were and the boy, not don hierar, repeats. Those

180
00:16:53.759 --> 00:17:00.080
kids were the same ones we buried. My grandfather at the time doesn'

181
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:03.640
t believe the words the boy is
saying to him. From what my grandfather

182
00:17:03.680 --> 00:17:07.920
tells you, give me a chance
to enter the cemetery. I want to

183
00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:12.319
see it with my own eyes.
The boy says yes and they both come

184
00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:18.359
in. The two walk through these
tombstones and meet those two tombs that,

185
00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:25.759
in effect, had the same names
as those children. The years of life

186
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:33.359
and the photographs on both tombstones,
my grandfather, without realizing it, greeted

187
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:40.319
him innocently that night he was riding, completely ignoring that those two children were

188
00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:45.839
saying the last goodbye to him as
good friends they were, since my grandfather,

189
00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:51.359
although he did not go much to
the village, every time he went

190
00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:56.799
and saw them playing with them.
They were two children who were very loving

191
00:17:56.839 --> 00:18:03.680
and without knowing it, my grandfather
said goodbye to them at their funeral.

192
00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:14.000
Security guards, as we have said
before, have many interesting things to tell,

193
00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:18.200
especially those who are guards of a
house, of a family, as

194
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:25.079
custodians cleaning employees. Many of these
workers, and it is not new,

195
00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:30.920
tend to form a bond with the
people who live there because the venadian interacts

196
00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:36.480
with Plastican. Obviously, you can
say that they even become very close friends

197
00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:41.400
between the owner of the house and
the employee. This can be seen reflected

198
00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:45.880
in several accounts, as in this
one, where Grandpa was being given farewell

199
00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:52.440
and he, like every night,
continued to do the same. This guard

200
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:57.440
says that grandfather was not at his
funeral, that grandfather, instead, was

201
00:18:57.480 --> 00:19:03.640
in a place he liked very much
in life and that from that place he

202
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:08.799
kept calling him. He kept calling
him like that friend he' d always

203
00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:18.599
been. Even after his death.
Your story is next hello. Good night.

204
00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:26.400
My name is Gustavo Linares. The
experience I want to tell you happened

205
00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:32.839
to me when I was working as
a security guard in a company, because

206
00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:37.079
it was quite quoted. Here on
the capes. The family that had hired

207
00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:42.640
this company wanted very reliable security guards
and that, above all, almost never

208
00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:51.400
made them. I asked that the
guards sent here be trusted and always be

209
00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:59.599
the same. This family was a
wealthy family. Your house was too big

210
00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:08.400
to say. It was the main
house and two others, we could say

211
00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:14.160
small houses they had in their yard. One of those houses was reserved for

212
00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:22.319
both games, meetings and other rooms
that were customized by family members. The

213
00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:29.079
other house was like a simple house, it had san dining kitchen, but

214
00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:33.519
it was a little more rustic,
it was like a cabin. The house

215
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:37.759
where they lived was much larger and
what was in the center was a swimming

216
00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:44.960
pool. Upon arriving there we were
given the order to monitor very well those

217
00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:49.440
two houses that were in this same
land. Most of all, because years

218
00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:57.799
ago they had gone in and stolen
those two houses. The main house where

219
00:20:57.880 --> 00:21:02.759
the whole family slept, no,
since it is always had security and cameras

220
00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:10.279
also, but those two who only
had it for leisure and meetings from time

221
00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:15.480
to time, for the truth did
not have them so securely. But since

222
00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:21.400
we were hired, we obviously had
to make rondines. We have to check

223
00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:27.759
room by room, as the family
had given us some very strict instructions.

224
00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:36.279
On their part, however, we
had to abide by them equally with family

225
00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:42.960
members. This was that if one
of the rooms, after 11: 30

226
00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:51.759
p m, was with a light
on, we had to go knock on

227
00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:59.279
the door and check who was inside
the room. It didn' t matter

228
00:21:59.279 --> 00:22:03.119
if they were family members. This
is because, on a regular basis,

229
00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:08.319
grandparents, parents, and family children, except on weekends, all lay down

230
00:22:08.359 --> 00:22:15.079
early, so they had to be
sure that everyone would be in the main

231
00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:25.279
house. If someone was at the
billiards, at the bar, in a

232
00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:30.720
kind of cinema they had there,
they would come out of the room,

233
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:37.079
they would tell us they would be
there for a while longer and just so

234
00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:41.839
far you would just tell them to
have a good night and you would record

235
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:47.279
that only They wouldn' t get
angry. In fact, they didn'

236
00:22:47.319 --> 00:22:51.759
t have to. They were the
same rules they had. Put this in

237
00:22:51.799 --> 00:23:00.960
order to ensure that there were no
other people who would have gotten involved and

238
00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:06.640
were stealing that by the time I
came in, I understand that it had

239
00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:08.160
already happened about five times, but
that already months ago. But as you

240
00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:12.720
wish, we had to be on
the lookout before telling them about my experience

241
00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:19.400
and I have to tell them that
the grandfather of the family had a custom

242
00:23:19.559 --> 00:23:26.519
that always on Thursdays, usually stayed
late inside his bar. This was Grandpa

243
00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:32.359
' s leisure. He loved liquor, wine, tequila, cigars, cigarettes,

244
00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:37.200
and on Thursday he stayed late listening
to music and enjoying different wines.

245
00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:47.920
He' s only in that room. Usually, at 12: 30,

246
00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:53.720
he went out and went to the
house. They greeted us and even though

247
00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:59.680
we knew this, we would always
go and knock on the door, he

248
00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:07.480
would open us kindly and attend us. We would platicate even for a while

249
00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:14.119
and leave later. It also has
to be said that sometimes he called us

250
00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:19.319
on the phone. We had a
phone, a landline, and in this

251
00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:25.400
bar in the house there was also
a landline, and that' s where

252
00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:29.400
Grandpa was talking to us. Usually, what he was doing was he was

253
00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:33.519
warning us in time that he was
going to leave because of about 12:

254
00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:38.799
30 or one in the morning,
once we got this call. We weren

255
00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:45.440
' t going to bother him anymore, we were doing the rondines, but

256
00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:48.519
we weren' t passing by anymore, it was like his way of saying

257
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:52.839
don' t bother him. And
this was always so clear until a fateful

258
00:24:52.960 --> 00:25:02.920
day when this grandfather finally passed away. And this experience occurs in his wake.

259
00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:07.200
Everything I told you before will make
sense in a few minutes. Assi

260
00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:12.160
it turns out that we were out
there, obviously aware of the people who

261
00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:17.119
were coming in, as they were
watching him in the living room of the

262
00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:22.279
house, in the main house,
and even though there was a lot of

263
00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:30.440
movement in the front, we had
to keep meeting the rondines to the other

264
00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:33.599
two small houses that were in the
back. And that' s where I

265
00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:41.839
realized that the light in the room
out the window was on. It was

266
00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:47.519
Grandpa' s bar room. What
I thought at one point was that perhaps

267
00:25:47.640 --> 00:25:53.839
as it was his death, surely
either the daughter, husband or grandchildren or

268
00:25:55.799 --> 00:26:00.839
perhaps one of his other children who
was coming to the funeral for sure,

269
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:08.599
he was there remembering, treasured everything
that his father, grandfather, liked in

270
00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:18.279
life. I left it that way, but that did keep my eyes fixed

271
00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:25.799
at the entrance of the house,
watching who came out. From there minutes

272
00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:33.240
passed, more minutes passed and even
an hour and I saw that no one

273
00:26:33.240 --> 00:26:40.559
left. What I could see was
a shadow going from one side to the

274
00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:48.319
other, from one side to the
other. Suddenly on the radio I got

275
00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:56.440
a call from my partner. He
tells me he likes it, you think

276
00:26:56.599 --> 00:27:00.039
he can go to Grandpa' s
bar room. I got a call,

277
00:27:02.039 --> 00:27:04.640
but no one' s answering me. I answer my partner, but no

278
00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:11.079
one answers you. There' s
a person I can see out the window.

279
00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:18.279
I see a shadow walking. My
partner replies that yes, he can

280
00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:22.799
hear the steps through the horn of
someone who is walking down the carpet and

281
00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:30.119
the wooden floor, but who nobody
answers him. This is very strange.

282
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:34.759
I had never been there, so
immediately I knocked on the door first,

283
00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:41.519
because even under the door light leaks
and I could see a shadow of feet

284
00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:52.680
moving away I knocked on the door
one two three times, but I received

285
00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:59.559
no answer. I opened the door
slowly and politely. I also said good

286
00:27:59.559 --> 00:28:07.079
night, good night, excuse me, but no one would answer me until

287
00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:12.680
I finally finished opening it and the
bar room was completely empty, there was

288
00:28:12.680 --> 00:28:18.839
no way. It was a room
only and the window had bars. The

289
00:28:18.920 --> 00:28:26.960
person I had seen until just a
few seconds ago had disappeared. I contact

290
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:33.480
again on the radio and tell my
partner there' s no one. Honestly,

291
00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:37.240
I was surprised, too, like
him, but it only took about

292
00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:44.640
three minutes that I had left that
house. When the light turns on again

293
00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:49.680
and my partner calls me back that
at that precise moment, even I also

294
00:28:49.759 --> 00:28:56.319
listen on the radio, they are
calling and telling me. The number I

295
00:28:56.359 --> 00:29:02.160
see on the phone screen is the
same as the house phone. It'

296
00:29:02.200 --> 00:29:04.200
s the same one from the bar. There' s a person there and

297
00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:08.200
he' s marking me. He' s off the phone. You can

298
00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:14.920
hear the footsteps again. I run
at that moment I open the door,

299
00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:21.200
the light is on, even though
I had paid for it. The phone

300
00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:26.759
is not off the hook. In
fact, it is as always, where

301
00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:33.119
no one had marked it. But
despite that, I was still in communication

302
00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:40.400
with my partner and on the radio
you could hear the bell very clearly.

303
00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:47.400
On this second occasion, when I
opened the door, a smell of liquor

304
00:29:47.480 --> 00:29:56.559
and tobacco impressed me and this combination
pains only used it. When the grandfather

305
00:29:56.400 --> 00:30:03.119
was inside, since he was the
one who prepared everything, it was the

306
00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:10.240
typical smell of the grandfather and in
case this was not enough, he could

307
00:30:10.319 --> 00:30:18.319
also smell his colony, that colony
that had a strong smell, but elegant,

308
00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:22.880
very appropriate as his age. I
repeat to my partner again. There

309
00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:27.799
' s no one here. I' m seeing, the phone' s

310
00:30:27.880 --> 00:30:30.680
hanging up, nobody' s dialing
you. The only thing he asks me

311
00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:37.599
back I' m looking at the
house is I' m in, right.

312
00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:44.880
I' ll say yes. He
asks me you turned on the bar

313
00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:49.079
light and I say no. I
told him I was going back to the

314
00:30:49.799 --> 00:30:56.359
booth and that we would only watch
the house in the distance, at least

315
00:30:56.359 --> 00:31:02.240
during that night, as the funeral
was taking place on the phone kept ringing

316
00:31:03.160 --> 00:31:08.319
and even though when I returned to
the booth, I turned off the focus

317
00:31:08.359 --> 00:31:15.119
again. This one went back on
in the minutes and even walked by the

318
00:31:15.160 --> 00:31:22.920
pool. When I turned around and
again the light was on, the phone

319
00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:29.440
kept calling and every time we answered, no one would answer us. Only

320
00:31:29.640 --> 00:31:38.119
a few footsteps were heard walking down
that carpet. Interestingly, the calls stopped

321
00:31:38.839 --> 00:31:45.039
when they gave the one- and- a- half, the same time

322
00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:52.319
Grandfather left the house. And that' s when we realized that the funeral

323
00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:59.039
was taking place on a Thursday day, the same day Grandpa stayed late in

324
00:31:59.079 --> 00:32:09.759
his canteen. Only that time at
his funeral did we live this. He

325
00:32:09.799 --> 00:32:15.000
went to the funeral once. The
burial. The next night was lived with

326
00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:22.880
total normality. We didn' t
get calls or the lights turned on even

327
00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:28.920
the next Thursday. Such seemed to
be and as we say, at least

328
00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:36.240
among ourselves as companions, that the
grandfather at his funeral spent it in the

329
00:32:36.279 --> 00:32:40.720
place where he had the best time, he spent it tasting his different pure

330
00:32:42.519 --> 00:32:57.119
wines, cigars, his different liquors
that night that were watching him. Introverted

331
00:32:57.160 --> 00:33:04.400
people, or we might say to
you in some cases are people who prefer

332
00:33:04.599 --> 00:33:09.400
to live apart from society. See
not entirely being a hermit in a forest,

333
00:33:09.920 --> 00:33:17.599
but maintaining a certain barrier in what
has become your home. Many people

334
00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:22.880
live in utter solitude, and it
is not because they are imposed on them,

335
00:33:22.359 --> 00:33:27.480
but because many times these people want
it. This is the case of

336
00:33:27.519 --> 00:33:34.759
an aunt whom this person relates was
an aunt of those very lonely, who

337
00:33:35.400 --> 00:33:39.039
was never very close to the family, but who curiously had friends, friends

338
00:33:39.720 --> 00:33:45.519
who were not of this world.
You could say that in his solitude he

339
00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:50.640
attracted something, something that gave him
the last goodbye at his funeral. The

340
00:33:50.720 --> 00:34:00.079
story is as follows. My name
is Urie Lopez. The next experience happened

341
00:34:00.119 --> 00:34:06.839
when we buried an aunt of mine. This aunt was a very distant person

342
00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:09.880
from the family, because she herself
loved him all her life. What I

343
00:34:09.960 --> 00:34:16.320
remember is that I was a very
private person and the few times I went

344
00:34:16.400 --> 00:34:22.440
to family parties or to visit our
own house, I always saw her with

345
00:34:22.559 --> 00:34:28.239
a face of few friends. I
plattered with her, I related to her

346
00:34:28.239 --> 00:34:32.519
clearly, but we were never very
close and she usually acted this way.

347
00:34:34.639 --> 00:34:38.519
He had no friends and didn'
t frequent family. My father was the

348
00:34:38.559 --> 00:34:43.920
one who lived most near her,
for he sought her out, since the

349
00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:49.760
aunt at that time was already very
old. I had, if not bad

350
00:34:49.760 --> 00:34:54.480
memory, some sixty- eight years
practically and was a senior and lived alone

351
00:34:55.119 --> 00:35:00.039
in her apartment the times my father
and my mother went to visit her,

352
00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:07.039
because most of the time they did
not take us, since we were children

353
00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:14.079
at that time or teenagers. What
are we going to do in that department

354
00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:17.360
to get bored. My father says
he saw everything in the same place as

355
00:35:17.440 --> 00:35:23.679
always when the weeks, the months, the years passed, you could even

356
00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:30.400
see that things were getting dust,
you moved, a lamp and you saw

357
00:35:30.480 --> 00:35:36.400
the shadow of the dust resting in
that place. My parents thought I had

358
00:35:36.480 --> 00:35:39.480
a sad life, but yet she
herself wanted it that way, a life

359
00:35:39.519 --> 00:35:45.599
without friends, no family, only
her, so it is no surprise that

360
00:35:45.719 --> 00:35:49.920
at her funeral and burial there were
only twelve people and these same twelve people

361
00:35:50.559 --> 00:35:59.559
were the family. Until I also
said that he didn' t even attend

362
00:35:59.559 --> 00:36:02.920
in the middle of the family,
but the closest ones, who were my

363
00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:07.239
parents and two other uncles of mine
were there. It seems then that I

364
00:36:07.280 --> 00:36:13.119
was eighteen, so I also went
to the cemetery. What surprised me is

365
00:36:13.320 --> 00:36:17.559
that when we were entering with the
coffin in that hole, in that space

366
00:36:17.599 --> 00:36:22.840
that my aunt already had, four
women were waiting for us. These four

367
00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:29.079
women weren' t dressed. We
could say it according to a funeral.

368
00:36:29.760 --> 00:36:36.880
His dress was a black pants with
a white shirt. The hair of these

369
00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:44.639
four women was lazio. They brought
him loose and wet, completely wet,

370
00:36:45.960 --> 00:36:51.840
wet and fell to his back and
also by his shoulders. These four women

371
00:36:51.880 --> 00:36:54.760
saw us in the distance and once
they arrived in the coffin, they fixed

372
00:36:54.800 --> 00:37:00.400
their eyes only on the coffin.
It became strange to me, but I

373
00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:04.840
didn' t want to bother my
parents, so I told my sister she

374
00:37:05.599 --> 00:37:13.800
' s older than me. Hey
and those people who they are, obviously,

375
00:37:13.960 --> 00:37:16.960
they weren' t family, so
I' m asking you are your

376
00:37:16.960 --> 00:37:21.960
friends. It seemed strange to me. My sister doesn' t know what

377
00:37:21.960 --> 00:37:27.400
to answer. So he goes to
my father and asks him," Hey,

378
00:37:28.280 --> 00:37:30.280
Dad, who are those people?" My father turns us around and

379
00:37:30.360 --> 00:37:37.639
tells us which people are just us. I' ll tell you right over

380
00:37:37.639 --> 00:37:43.480
there. He turns around for a
few seconds, comes back and tells us

381
00:37:44.360 --> 00:37:49.199
which people I only see the gravediggers
and the priest. After he told us

382
00:37:49.199 --> 00:37:55.039
this, we said no more,
because we also turned around and at that

383
00:37:55.159 --> 00:38:02.400
very moment, those four women and
they are no longer us found had disappeared

384
00:38:02.519 --> 00:38:09.199
from one second to the next.
We were confused and also scared, so

385
00:38:09.239 --> 00:38:15.760
we left this up there just to
realize it. When we got in the

386
00:38:15.880 --> 00:38:21.480
car that our sister, another sister
who also had older than me, asked

387
00:38:21.519 --> 00:38:25.920
us the same thing. All three
of us had seen those four women,

388
00:38:27.079 --> 00:38:30.119
but they had disappeared out of nowhere. This doesn' t end here,

389
00:38:31.320 --> 00:38:38.480
as Auntie' s apartment was rented
and obviously all the belongings she had had

390
00:38:38.960 --> 00:38:43.039
to be taken out. And that' s what my father was for.

391
00:38:43.800 --> 00:38:49.719
I went too, as I needed
to go to the furniture, the bed,

392
00:38:51.039 --> 00:38:54.440
the armchairs had to be moved and
I, as a man, had

393
00:38:54.440 --> 00:38:59.119
to help my father down all that. My sisters were also, but they,

394
00:38:59.199 --> 00:39:02.880
more than anything, could see what
they found in the apartment. They

395
00:39:02.960 --> 00:39:07.599
were very curious about how my aunt
lived and why. Don' t say

396
00:39:07.599 --> 00:39:14.400
it. I went in too and
the stories our parents told us were true.

397
00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:21.480
You could see dust, you could
see it in some corners of the

398
00:39:21.599 --> 00:39:23.840
web, and you could see it
in the frets that weren' t used.

399
00:39:24.599 --> 00:39:30.440
Only one was the one I used
every day. The glasses had dust,

400
00:39:31.119 --> 00:39:37.960
the dishes also only a glass,
a plate, a covered and a

401
00:39:37.039 --> 00:39:42.960
skillet were the only ones that did
not have. Obviously, as a sign

402
00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:45.880
that they were the ones who used
their armchair where they sat. He was

403
00:39:46.000 --> 00:39:51.320
the only one who had no dust
in the whole room. He did keep

404
00:39:52.000 --> 00:39:54.599
dust even on the couches. If
you moved a pillow, you could see

405
00:39:55.159 --> 00:40:01.559
the time that had passed without that
moeda mons moving. As I said earlier,

406
00:40:02.360 --> 00:40:07.079
this was not surprising, as she
never married, never had children,

407
00:40:07.400 --> 00:40:14.679
and no friends met him. Right
up to that point, the neighbors of

408
00:40:14.760 --> 00:40:20.760
the apartment across the street and neighbors, came immediately to see that they were

409
00:40:20.800 --> 00:40:25.760
taking out furniture. This more than
anything to know what had happened. My

410
00:40:25.800 --> 00:40:30.960
father tells them that the person who
lived there was his aunt and that he

411
00:40:31.079 --> 00:40:36.400
had died. Some neighbors already knew
my father, as he was the only

412
00:40:36.519 --> 00:40:44.679
person who came during the day.
Strangely, these neighbors did not share the

413
00:40:44.800 --> 00:40:50.760
same idea as my father that my
aunt had no family or minimally friends.

414
00:40:51.639 --> 00:40:53.880
They greeted her clearly when they went
in the hallway, but they always,

415
00:40:53.960 --> 00:41:00.519
when they passed in front of the
department, heard voices not only of her,

416
00:41:00.880 --> 00:41:06.639
but of more people, of women. They believed that if I didn

417
00:41:06.679 --> 00:41:10.440
' t have friends, maybe I
lived with some daughters, but that the

418
00:41:10.840 --> 00:41:17.199
daughters, surely like her, were
very reserved, because as they passed through

419
00:41:17.280 --> 00:41:25.400
the front they always listened to whispers
of conversation I was never in silence and

420
00:41:25.440 --> 00:41:31.559
on one occasion, a neighbor who
came from a night schedule saw my aunt

421
00:41:31.679 --> 00:41:37.199
enter the apartment in the company of
four other women, with wet hair and

422
00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:43.159
a dress that was in black pants
and white shirt. Strangely, that person

423
00:41:43.760 --> 00:41:47.960
says it was the only time he
saw those women come in. None of

424
00:41:49.000 --> 00:41:55.599
the neighbors saw another person go in
there or at least one woman besides my

425
00:41:55.599 --> 00:42:05.679
aunt, never met who she was
talking to every day. It was a

426
00:42:05.760 --> 00:42:10.400
mystery to them. What I want
to believe Alex is that maybe my aunt,

427
00:42:10.639 --> 00:42:15.480
in her loneliness, didn' t
find any friends, so to speak,

428
00:42:16.000 --> 00:42:22.719
flesh and blood. Maybe what he
found was another kind of friend who

429
00:42:22.760 --> 00:42:29.440
wasn' t entirely human. That
was my story Thank you for hearing it.

430
00:42:32.239 --> 00:42:37.119
These two brothers, while not working
in a funeral home, served in

431
00:42:37.119 --> 00:42:43.599
the funeral home and left flowers to
all those people who were offering condolences to

432
00:42:43.719 --> 00:42:52.519
that special person who had just left
for a better life. These florists say

433
00:42:52.559 --> 00:42:59.840
it was a surprise, a surprise
that was not very pleasant and highly frightening,

434
00:43:00.679 --> 00:43:05.719
to know that the person who was
leading us to distribute each of the

435
00:43:05.760 --> 00:43:15.239
flowers was the person they were watching. His story is as follows. My

436
00:43:15.320 --> 00:43:23.239
name is Christian González. This next
experience happened to my brother. It could

437
00:43:23.280 --> 00:43:27.960
be said that it also happened to
me, as I was present when all

438
00:43:28.000 --> 00:43:35.519
this happened, but my brother was
the one who saw it all and told

439
00:43:35.679 --> 00:43:43.079
us terrified what I and other fellow
florists went unnoticed. I work as a

440
00:43:43.079 --> 00:43:50.599
florist, just like my brother.
My family works on this. We have

441
00:43:50.639 --> 00:43:57.679
taken flower arrangements, we make them
and transport them to many events, weddings

442
00:43:57.800 --> 00:44:06.800
fifteen years, Madrid proposals, demons, baptisms, farewells and also funerals.

443
00:44:07.760 --> 00:44:14.559
The case of funerals is a curious
thing, since obviously you can' t

444
00:44:14.679 --> 00:44:17.719
get so normal, so to speak, unless I hire you the funeral home,

445
00:44:19.880 --> 00:44:24.800
but it often happens that you are
hired by the same relatives, the

446
00:44:24.880 --> 00:44:30.960
people who are hurt. Sometimes when
we arrive, we arrive before everyone arrives

447
00:44:30.039 --> 00:44:36.800
and there is a relative there waiting
for us, who will tell us in

448
00:44:36.840 --> 00:44:40.519
which room he will be in and
in which room to put the different arrangements.

449
00:44:42.440 --> 00:44:46.199
There are other situations in which we
arrive later and there are all relatives.

450
00:44:47.199 --> 00:44:52.159
This situation is the most uncomfortable,
since you have to go carefully,

451
00:44:52.599 --> 00:44:59.159
you have to go in absolute silence
and you have to walk among all the

452
00:45:00.159 --> 00:45:06.599
murmurs, the crying, all the
people hurt by the departure of that deceased.

453
00:45:07.639 --> 00:45:13.079
This had happened to us on that
occasion. We were going to a

454
00:45:13.559 --> 00:45:17.679
funeral and we went into the funeral
and all the people were there. I

455
00:45:17.760 --> 00:45:22.440
was in the company of my brother
and two other boys, who were our

456
00:45:22.440 --> 00:45:28.599
companions to leave all the flowers.
First we went to the room and left

457
00:45:28.639 --> 00:45:35.320
the smallest arrangements, but also that
there were many throughout that room. At

458
00:45:35.360 --> 00:45:38.840
the extremes, when we arrive regularly, there is already a person waiting for

459
00:45:39.000 --> 00:45:45.000
us, but there are times when
there is no one. And it'

460
00:45:45.039 --> 00:45:47.400
s understandable, because maybe they'
re watching their father, their grandfather.

461
00:45:50.199 --> 00:45:55.199
A person is not on the lookout
for flowers. But curiously, when we

462
00:45:55.960 --> 00:46:01.639
were rambling about where we would have
to put the flas, a person approached

463
00:46:01.639 --> 00:46:08.039
us. He was a person in
a very well ironed suit. The laura

464
00:46:08.079 --> 00:46:15.360
he conveyed was somewhat uncertain. I
felt like I was flying a strange experience.

465
00:46:15.719 --> 00:46:19.599
I didn' t feel my feet
and neither did my brother. According

466
00:46:19.639 --> 00:46:27.760
to him, we moved as if
we were on autopilot following the instructions of

467
00:46:27.800 --> 00:46:32.639
that strange gentleman. He was a
man, I think he was dating between

468
00:46:32.679 --> 00:46:37.400
the ages of fifty and sixty,
so he wasn' t an old person

469
00:46:37.480 --> 00:46:45.480
who was telling us exactly where the
arrangements went. We left them and once

470
00:46:45.519 --> 00:46:51.480
arrived in the room, where they
had the coffin and where there was no

471
00:46:51.519 --> 00:46:54.960
more to conglomeration of people, it
was a smaller room. There were some

472
00:46:54.960 --> 00:47:00.840
people and they looked crowded. The
man, finally, told me and my

473
00:47:00.880 --> 00:47:06.960
brother to leave the two biggest arrangements, one at one end of the coffin

474
00:47:07.000 --> 00:47:13.360
and the other at the other end. I, as I was arranging other

475
00:47:13.360 --> 00:47:16.079
small arrangements in the room. My
brother told me look at you beautiful,

476
00:47:16.400 --> 00:47:20.920
accommodate those. Don' t worry. I' ll go and put these

477
00:47:20.920 --> 00:47:24.079
two in the coffin. After all, they are big arrangements, but not

478
00:47:24.079 --> 00:47:29.000
heavy ones. At that time,
when I was settling everything, we lost

479
00:47:29.039 --> 00:47:32.679
sight of the other man we no
longer saw him anywhere and, to make

480
00:47:32.719 --> 00:47:37.639
you honest, it was not something
that worried me, because we had already

481
00:47:37.719 --> 00:47:44.880
done our job. When a gentleman
touches me on my shoulder and I recognize

482
00:47:44.960 --> 00:47:49.519
him perfectly, he was the same
man who had asked us to serve.

483
00:47:50.360 --> 00:47:55.039
He asks us what we were doing, what we had had trouble accommodating the

484
00:47:55.039 --> 00:48:00.360
flowers. I said no, a
gentleman didn' t know. I'

485
00:48:00.480 --> 00:48:06.440
ve been giving indications of where to
accommodate the flowers. This man was hurt,

486
00:48:07.480 --> 00:48:10.599
he could be opened in his face, his eyes were swollen and he

487
00:48:10.599 --> 00:48:16.159
thanked me. Then he left for
those voices that were fleeing into the crowd.

488
00:48:17.239 --> 00:48:22.960
I understood that the man was the
son of whom they were watching.

489
00:48:22.360 --> 00:48:29.800
He was a young gentleman, possibly
twenty- four or twenty- three years

490
00:48:30.440 --> 00:48:31.559
old, so I understood why he
wasn' t on the lookout. They

491
00:48:31.559 --> 00:48:37.679
were watching their father. When at
that I turn to see the room where

492
00:48:37.760 --> 00:48:44.440
the coffin was and see that my
brother is coming fast. He tries to

493
00:48:44.440 --> 00:48:47.239
disguise it, but even attracts the
attention of several people. He comes in,

494
00:48:47.440 --> 00:48:52.199
takes me by the wrist and pulls
me. My brother takes me very

495
00:48:52.280 --> 00:48:55.960
hard. He' s shaking and
he' s telling me please. Let

496
00:48:55.960 --> 00:48:58.639
' s go. Let' s
go? Let' s go? He

497
00:48:58.679 --> 00:49:00.599
repeats me over and over again.
Let' s go. Let' s

498
00:49:00.599 --> 00:49:05.440
go. Let' s go.
We got to the van and he was

499
00:49:05.519 --> 00:49:08.960
the first to get in something he
barely did. The pilot' s seat

500
00:49:09.039 --> 00:49:15.719
was raised at the wheel, ready
to start and leave quickly. I'

501
00:49:15.800 --> 00:49:19.679
ll stop him at that. I
told him to wait for you what you

502
00:49:19.679 --> 00:49:22.639
' re doing. We have to
wait. We have not been filled in

503
00:49:23.480 --> 00:49:29.440
the form and we have to make
sure that the same arrangements we were asked

504
00:49:29.440 --> 00:49:35.480
for were the ones we delivered to
the funeral home, as these arrangements were

505
00:49:35.559 --> 00:49:39.440
to be transported by the funeral home
to the cemetery, where the body was

506
00:49:39.440 --> 00:49:45.840
to be buried. We had to
come back in a few hours to count

507
00:49:45.920 --> 00:49:49.239
the arrangements and be delivered. My
brother told me I' m not going

508
00:49:49.719 --> 00:49:53.320
back and once we got to the
flower shop, I and the other two

509
00:49:53.360 --> 00:50:00.159
companions we had were very confused.
We asked him joel tell us what'

510
00:50:00.760 --> 00:50:05.480
s wrong with you, why you
got like this from one minute to the

511
00:50:05.599 --> 00:50:12.800
next, what you saw joel looking
at the wheel repeats over and over again

512
00:50:12.880 --> 00:50:19.920
until finally he explains to us the
man who led us through the funeral,

513
00:50:20.039 --> 00:50:24.800
the one who was telling us where
we had to put the flowers to the

514
00:50:24.800 --> 00:50:31.519
four of us. I saw him
inside the coffin. I went and put

515
00:50:32.039 --> 00:50:37.039
an arrangement at one end of the
coffin where it was closed. But when

516
00:50:37.119 --> 00:50:44.119
I was put the other one,
on the other side where they had it

517
00:50:44.119 --> 00:50:49.639
open, where people were passing by
and saying goodbye there I saw it lying

518
00:50:49.639 --> 00:50:54.519
down. It was the same person
they were doing their funeral to. He

519
00:50:54.559 --> 00:50:59.719
was there with the same clothes,
the same face in on. That'

520
00:50:59.800 --> 00:51:05.880
s when he turned around and told
me Christian that you don' t understand,

521
00:51:06.159 --> 00:51:09.079
we were led by a dead man. I must admit that at that

522
00:51:09.159 --> 00:51:16.480
moment a huge fear seized me as
the hours passed and knowing that we had

523
00:51:16.519 --> 00:51:22.480
to return, my brother did not. He didn' t want to do

524
00:51:22.519 --> 00:51:24.760
it and there was no way to
force him. We came back and,

525
00:51:25.199 --> 00:51:31.960
fortunately, people already found us.
Most were outside boarding the cars and when

526
00:51:32.159 --> 00:51:38.960
we went and were picking up the
arrangements, none of my colleagues wanted to

527
00:51:39.119 --> 00:51:45.400
enter the room where the coffin was. There he was still and with one

528
00:51:45.480 --> 00:51:51.000
of the doors open, I walked
in, but I stopped. I wouldn

529
00:51:51.079 --> 00:51:53.840
' t want to make the arrangements, I didn' t want to see

530
00:51:53.840 --> 00:51:58.079
inside the coffin. I knew my
look was gonna fool me. That'

531
00:51:58.119 --> 00:52:00.440
s why I held back. Ha
ha until, luckily, the funeral attendants

532
00:52:00.559 --> 00:52:07.880
made an act of presence, went
for the coffin, closed it and took

533
00:52:07.000 --> 00:52:15.440
it away only like this. I
went in for those two arrangements and we

534
00:52:15.480 --> 00:52:20.719
went and handed them over to the
funeral home. We fill out the forms,

535
00:52:21.159 --> 00:52:24.800
the signatures on the papers, and
we retire. From there. I

536
00:52:24.800 --> 00:52:30.280
believe in my brother' s words
and I think that' s why I

537
00:52:30.280 --> 00:52:34.679
didn' t want to look out. I didn' t want to be

538
00:52:34.719 --> 00:52:39.800
burdened with that trauma of seeing that
body and knowing that minutes earlier I was

539
00:52:39.920 --> 00:52:44.639
the same man who was leading me
around my brother' s funeral home.

540
00:52:44.679 --> 00:53:06.400
After this, it was very difficult
for him to return to the service of

541
00:52:51.239 --> 00:53:06.400
a wake.
