00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:14.000
How many of us haven' t
heard or at least talked to one of

2
00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:22.640
our grandparents about paranormal stories. Many
of these grandparents used to live on ranches

3
00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:27.879
or in towns, and we know
that the most gloomy stories, usually,

4
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:36.439
what happens in those places, those
remote places and in years spent almost totally

5
00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:44.439
incommunicado, life in the countryside was
another very different, even now. That

6
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:49.520
is why in this video we will
play these stories of grandparents that, curiously,

7
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:56.320
did not happen to them when they
were already adults. These stories happen

8
00:00:56.439 --> 00:01:02.880
all when grandparents were children or teenagers, just like this first story, that

9
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:07.439
the grandfather telling it says he was
going after his girlfriend. Like any boy

10
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:11.519
of that age, he had to
pretend to be a good boy, but

11
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:21.359
what he didn' t count on
is that on that road he would deviate

12
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:26.680
and the result of that deviation made
him end up in a completely different place

13
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:34.400
or in place that is already inhabited, but not by people, but by

14
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:38.840
something else, something else that held
him from his legs and that if he

15
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:42.239
hadn' t been fast enough or
strong enough, maybe they would have pulled

16
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:49.760
him out. Maybe this grandfather couldn' t have told this story hello to

17
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:57.799
everyone. My name is Maria Salamanca. The experience I want to tell you

18
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:01.280
is a story my grandfather told me. This happened many years ago, and

19
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:09.280
my grandfather was 14 years old when
this happened to him and, like every

20
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:15.919
14- year- old, he
was already looking for a girlfriend and that

21
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:22.719
girlfriend was my grandmother. Both were
the same age at that time. My

22
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:28.199
grandfather tried to score points to earn
my grandmother' s family, so he

23
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:35.159
helped his father, helped his mother. Every time I could make myself clear,

24
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:42.800
I was very manly and very gentlemanly
in front of them so much so

25
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:46.400
that I had caught the routine of
going for my grandmother and her mother,

26
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:51.240
that is, my great- grandmother, to find them on the way when

27
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:54.080
they came from church. This happened
in a small town. There were no

28
00:02:54.080 --> 00:03:00.960
roads, no cars, no electricity. Only in a few cius how many

29
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:07.680
parts were counted, what moved a
lot were the candlelights in all houses and

30
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:15.960
also in certain roads, which were
lit by these lanterns that inside them was

31
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:21.919
a large candlelight. My grandfather always
went for them. That' s why

32
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:27.039
eight o' clock at night was
already dark. I borrowed a horse from

33
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:32.120
my father and went out to Galope
to find them as quickly as I could

34
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:37.840
and bring them back to the village. He used to get off the horse

35
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:42.680
and how not to give it to
the ladies so they wouldn' t walk.

36
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:47.960
He was going down and they were
going up as they were talking all

37
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:53.639
the way through. It turns out
that that day, the night before,

38
00:03:53.240 --> 00:04:00.240
had rained in pitchers and throughout the
day, although it had not rained like

39
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:05.639
the night, it had been snorting
or prying, as is said in some

40
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:10.080
States. It was a dim rain, but it didn' t stop all

41
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:14.639
day, so when I saw that
I was prying, my grandfather got on

42
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:20.920
the horse again at eight o'
clock and said goodbye to his parents and

43
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:26.160
started galloping quickly to that road.
With what he did not tell is that

44
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:30.800
the river that was on the side
of the road had overflowed before reaching that

45
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:39.160
point. A large part of the
road was submerged in the water and had

46
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:45.639
also been washed away. Certain hills, stone and sand had completely covered the

47
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:50.560
road. My grandfather had no choice
but to surround all that. He knew

48
00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:58.639
the field very well, so he
started doing calculations. Well, if I

49
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:03.120
travel this distance, I may have
surrounded all this landslide, all this flooding,

50
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:08.560
and I can get there with them
later. About fifteen minutes, my

51
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:14.639
grandfather met at his destination and continued
galloping with his horse. When he thinks

52
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:18.560
he' s surrounded enough. When
he believes that he was already near or

53
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:24.920
at least at the point, he
begins to turn around, he says that

54
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:30.399
that night was very dark yes for
himself, at that time he had not

55
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:36.360
lit up where he was on that
road that he was only having the moonlight.

56
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:44.839
That precise night didn' t even
have the moonlight. It was all

57
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:49.079
cloudy. As the drops fell,
the clouds completely opaeded the whole panorama and,

58
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:56.800
although it brought a lantern to it, it lit around, but it

59
00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:01.279
did not light beyond a few four
feet the five meters was in the total

60
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:06.959
darkness. He says he set out
and stopped, because he seemed to see

61
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:14.839
that tree he always saw when he
was on his way with my grandmother and

62
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:20.240
his mother. There was a very
characteristic tree, or a large, leafy

63
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:25.839
tree on the side of the road. He seemed to see him, so

64
00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:30.040
he thought at that time it was
good to stay in that place. It

65
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:34.759
was still flooded, but maybe they' d come around, though it wasn

66
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:41.240
' t as flooded as elsewhere.
If he went down, the water would

67
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:46.040
get under his knee, so if
it was a bit flooded, but it

68
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:54.480
was still passable. Suddenly you notice
that your horse is acting strangely. He

69
00:06:54.480 --> 00:07:00.120
starts moving his head, giving heads, whining, getting nervous. My grandfather,

70
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:04.720
as he can control it and among
everything is a fuss he had with

71
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:12.759
the horse. The impatient horse wanted
to move from that place begins to see

72
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:20.240
two figures below the tree, swinging
from one side to the other. He

73
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:24.160
initially thought it was my grandmother and
great- grandmother, but as he paid

74
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:29.439
more attention, he saw that they
were not adults, but that they were

75
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:34.839
two children, two children who were
swinging with two swings on that branch of

76
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:43.879
the tree. And as if these
children had realized that they were watching them,

77
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:50.839
they asked Ignacio, who you are
looking for. My grandfather was scared,

78
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:59.720
but soon he calms down because she
was called Ignacio. Possibly those kids

79
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:03.399
were from the village, and like
there, almost everyone knew each other.

80
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:09.319
Surely he for carrying the bluff could
see him without any trouble, but they,

81
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:16.560
being in the dark my grandfather could
not see them. They only saw

82
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:22.160
the shadows. He asked them chamacos
they haven' t seen Doña fatima and

83
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:26.560
I' m looking for their daughter. The children didn' t answer.

84
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:33.600
They kept rocking like they just didn' t care about the question. My

85
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:39.840
grandfather keeps yelling at them, but
this time asking them who they' re

86
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:46.039
coming with. They were some eight- year- olds, seven years-

87
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:50.879
olds, getting on the swing,
and even their legs didn' t get

88
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:54.639
to the ground. It was obvious
that their children could not walk alone,

89
00:08:56.120 --> 00:09:01.200
but these children, likewise, did
not answer, they remained silent. They

90
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:09.600
continued to swing. At that moment, my grandfather begins to notice that a

91
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:16.639
certain part of the horse feels strange
and as he looks down, he notes

92
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:22.600
that the back legs of the horse
are more submerged in the water than they

93
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:30.919
should be. The horse. Little
by little it was submerging more and more,

94
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:33.879
so my grandfather thought at that time
that perhaps the flood was loosening the

95
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:41.600
earth a lot and the horse was
getting stuck by this very thing. Maybe

96
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:48.399
he was desperate. My grandfather begins
to look around and sees that just one

97
00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:58.679
side of him is like a mountain
between rock debris and earth. You see

98
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:03.000
it' s solid, so,
without thinking about it, it jumps into

99
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:07.600
it to take some weight off the
horse and it doesn' t sink any

100
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:13.480
more. Jump immediately and fall right
on it. Suddenly he starts improvising what

101
00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:16.799
I can do. I want to
get the horse out. I can'

102
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:20.840
t leave him. That' s
where he starts to put his hand in

103
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:26.440
the water and, curiously, something
that doesn' t make sense at the

104
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:28.879
time, but he was very grateful
to have found him a board. You

105
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:35.639
could tell she was already rotten,
but she was tough enough to get him

106
00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:39.799
out of that trouble. Luckily,
my grandfather ended up taking the horse out

107
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:45.240
and once he did, he made
the decision to walk as slow as possible,

108
00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:52.279
testing the floor to lead the horse
on the right path. After all.

109
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:54.000
If he felt it' s a
day he can quickly remove his leg.

110
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:58.600
The horse could not, but only
he, by putting one of his

111
00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:05.320
boots in the water and reaching under
his knee, felt immediately how something took

112
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:13.960
him and kept him in that place, something was holding him, something held

113
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:22.120
him by the foot, something kept
him from moving. He started believing that

114
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:24.720
maybe she was a snake, but
she couldn' t do this. Maybe

115
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:30.559
some mecca that had brought the water. The point is, I was warped

116
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:35.120
about something, and then I felt
like this was being taken by the other

117
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:39.919
leg. Underwater, I couldn'
t see what it was. And it

118
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:48.080
was at that moment that he decided
to simply put the bluff and hook him

119
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:52.519
to the horse and he, with
his hands, began to touch the thing

120
00:11:52.519 --> 00:12:00.840
that held him. My grandfather panicked
at all when he realized they were hands.

121
00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:07.399
One hand was holding him for each
foot and he was holding him tight.

122
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:11.759
It was a hard hand, it' s just that I took him

123
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:13.639
and wouldn' t let him go. My grandfather doesn' t know what

124
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:18.000
he did. Obviously, he panicked, as I said, he started moving

125
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:24.240
very quickly, he started screaming,
he started jumping with all the strength he

126
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:28.039
could. He hooked the horse and, as he could, climbed onto it.

127
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:33.360
He gave the horse the order to
come back and run as fast as

128
00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:37.840
possible. The horse had a hard
time, but they finally got out.

129
00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:45.200
From there. My grandfather came home
pale, totally scared and wet. My

130
00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:48.159
great- grandmother was he saw him, treated him and asked him what had

131
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:52.000
happened to him, but he couldn' t talk. He only stuttered and

132
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:58.120
made him see his legs with his
finger, because all the way he was

133
00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:03.679
burned and hurt by both his father
and his mother. They lifted his pants,

134
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:09.320
took off his boot and saw his
legs on his calves, the marks

135
00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:15.919
as scratches and also the mark of
one hand on each of his legs was

136
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:22.679
a red mark. All these marks, as the days passed, became bruises.

137
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:31.879
And over the days, my grandfather
also realized where he had really gotten

138
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:39.039
into. To begin with, my
grandmother and great- grandmother had chosen to

139
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:46.440
stay in church and they expected my
grandfather to reach the Church. And then

140
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:50.679
they were going to entertain him,
because about ten o' clock he was

141
00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:54.720
going to pass a cart that was
going to take them to the village.

142
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:58.759
My grandfather tells me he was going
to get to the church. If I

143
00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:01.559
didn' t see them around,
he' d choose to follow them to

144
00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:09.919
the Church. But it turns out
my grandfather had strayed a lot from that

145
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:15.960
tree he used as a reference was
the wrong tree. It was not in

146
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:24.279
the same place, it had disoriented
and had ended up right in the center

147
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:31.720
of a cemetery. This cemetery wasn' t official. This cemetery had been

148
00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:37.919
used by previous generations, but without
papers, without any arrangements and even tombstones

149
00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:48.759
or tombs were not as such those
of a cemetery. It was only some

150
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:54.399
wooden crosses, already rotten wood,
and what they did to differentiate the tombs

151
00:14:54.480 --> 00:15:03.960
were these small mountains of earth along
with scraping and engraving stones to differentiate one

152
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:11.159
from another small lumps with crosses.
At that time there was already another cemetery,

153
00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:16.519
which was already in the village,
but those tombs. Those bodies had

154
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:22.960
not been moved, as I explained
earlier, were used long ago by previous

155
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:30.679
generations, so those generations of their
children were no longer in the village and

156
00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:37.320
precisely in that tree which he had
confused resembled the other, but ultimately it

157
00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:46.720
was not the same. At his
feet he was in the tombs of two

158
00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:54.960
young children who had lost their lives
many years ago. When there was a

159
00:15:54.960 --> 00:16:03.039
storm. My grandfather never left town
again. I was afraid to disoriented again

160
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:11.159
and end up in a place I
would be like that cemetery where the hands

161
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:41.759
of those deceased came out of the
graves. This story is told as a

162
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:49.320
legend from where my grandparents come from. This story begins with a rancher heading

163
00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:55.240
to where his crops were found very
early in the morning. When you get

164
00:16:55.399 --> 00:17:00.559
to this one you find something not
very pleasant, but you already expected.

165
00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:06.599
It' s been the same thing
for three days. Part of his crops

166
00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:12.039
were gone. They' d stolen
them again. He even saw how these

167
00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:18.720
had been torn from their roots and
some plants had taken them out of their

168
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:23.720
place. Whoever it was noticed that
he had not even been careful did so

169
00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:30.000
brazenly, not caring that the next
day the rancher realized that they were stealing

170
00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:38.880
his crops. One of these many
mornings was in the company of his compadre

171
00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:45.000
and although he knew that he was
going to find missing crops. He never

172
00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:52.000
thought it would come this far.
This time they had stolen too much from

173
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:57.319
him and obviously, the rancher was
extremely upset, shouted in the sky and

174
00:17:57.400 --> 00:18:03.400
cursed over and over again that thief
who had stolen from him. Both men

175
00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:11.000
came to agree that this was already
too much and they came up with something

176
00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:17.319
to catch that supposed thief. That
same night they made the preparations and chose

177
00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:22.680
the stables as the place where they
would stand waiting for the offender. They

178
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:25.960
agreed to arrive at ten o'
clock in the evening in case the thief

179
00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:30.680
arrived earlier, although they were more
than clear that it was likely that it

180
00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:37.039
would be at dawn, as the
rancher would leave the place at eight o

181
00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:41.079
' clock every day and if this
thief had watched him, they would catch

182
00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:45.880
him unsuspecting. One of them agreed
to bring a bow to tie it up

183
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:49.599
and take it to the village police. And that' s how it was

184
00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:53.359
at ten o' clock at night. Both men were already waiting to surprise

185
00:18:53.400 --> 00:19:00.400
that thief. They had their eyes
fixed on the crops. Those who saw

186
00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:08.319
themselves in the distance the hours passed
and saw no one approaching. The dirt

187
00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:18.000
road was uninhabited. They tried to
get rid of the dream by talking to

188
00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:22.079
each other a little bit, but
at two o' clock in the morning,

189
00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:26.839
the dream was beating them. At
a certain point they began to realize

190
00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:33.160
that, perhaps, this thief came
at dawn and so that the two were

191
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:37.000
not struggling with the dream, since
we also have to remember that they are

192
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:42.400
fieldmen, they are more than used
to falling asleep early and this was affecting

193
00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:51.920
them quite a bit. They came
to the conclusion of taking turns so as

194
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:56.480
to bear more amen at night.
The first to take his turn was the

195
00:19:56.519 --> 00:20:03.400
compadre, while the rancher continued to
observe his crops. It was hard for

196
00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:08.599
him to fight the dream in the
silence of the night and he almost beat

197
00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:11.839
it, after having spent about five
minutes of his compadre having fallen asleep,

198
00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:21.200
he could see something in the sky
that was approaching to reach where his crops

199
00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:27.400
were. By paying more attention,
the rancher realized that this thing was a

200
00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:38.039
fireball. It was above the floating
crops. When he could suddenly see this

201
00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:44.640
fireball coming down and up, it
didn' t look like it was bouncing.

202
00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:51.720
More like he was taking something without
thinking about it. Twice the rancher

203
00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:56.160
woke up his compadre. I didn' t believe what I was seeing.

204
00:20:56.519 --> 00:21:02.720
Upon waking him up and pointing out
what was above his crops, the other

205
00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:08.319
man, totally shocked, assured him
that what he was stealing from him was

206
00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:17.319
a witch. The two men stayed
for a moment watching that being They were

207
00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:22.039
inert without knowing very well what to
do, doubting whether or not they went

208
00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:26.680
out. Until one of them took
courage and with all the security he could

209
00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:33.319
take, he told her to grab
it. The other rancher questioned him about

210
00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:37.640
how that was going to be.
Honestly, the man had no idea,

211
00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:44.599
but at least they had to try
to knock her down and give her a

212
00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:48.359
good beating or a scare to make
them do less. This one won'

213
00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:55.920
t steal the crops again. The
two men left the hiding place and ran

214
00:21:55.960 --> 00:22:02.480
towards the witch. When he saw
them, he rose up and set out

215
00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:04.839
for the village. One of the
men tried to hit him with the mecca

216
00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:12.799
or the tsarla, but nothing worked
yet. The two men chased her.

217
00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:22.759
And that' s when one of
them remembered an old way to knock down

218
00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:26.519
the witches. This way of knocking
them down in flight was something that was

219
00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:33.160
said in the village. It wasn' t a certainty, but I had

220
00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:37.079
to try. This method consisted of
putting a knot or a tie to a

221
00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:42.759
thread, a bow or a mecate
for the fate of them had one at

222
00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:48.599
hand. They had to do this
after every father of ours who prayed,

223
00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:55.839
and this would weaken the witch more
and more until she was knocked off her

224
00:22:55.839 --> 00:23:00.160
flight. They were coming to the
streets of the town and through prayers and

225
00:23:00.200 --> 00:23:07.359
knots they managed to see that more
and more that ball of fire descended until

226
00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:11.400
it reached a point that could no
longer be. The witch fell on the

227
00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:15.720
top of a tree in an alley
in the village and the two men watched

228
00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:21.240
the tree move from one side to
the other, until finally something fell to

229
00:23:21.319 --> 00:23:27.240
the ground. It was a bird
or an animal very similar to this one.

230
00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:33.279
It is said that this birdlike animal
was completely black and quite large.

231
00:23:38.240 --> 00:23:44.559
The face was horrible, as it
had facial features of a person, as

232
00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:48.359
well as features of a bird.
It looked like the face of a human

233
00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:53.200
with bird parts, but the most
outstanding thing was the beak. It was

234
00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:59.400
very strange and it caused chills.
Under his wings. You could see how

235
00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:03.839
the crops he had stolen were falling
on him. Once the men made sure

236
00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:10.759
that witch had been the one she
had stolen. All this time they began

237
00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:15.680
with the punishment, with the snare
they began to punish her until suddenly from

238
00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:21.000
the snout of that animal began to
come out the screams of a woman.

239
00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:27.680
The two men were afraid, but
they did not want to appear until the

240
00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:36.720
same bird begged both of them to
stop and told them their names they were

241
00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:41.359
both shocked at the time. Both
ranchers were terrified now knowing that that thing

242
00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:48.880
could speak, and it took the
time to fly again. However, they

243
00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:56.400
were not concerned about this. They
knew that the witch would not steal their

244
00:24:56.400 --> 00:25:00.440
crops again, but as for discovering
who the witch of the village was,

245
00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:07.519
they made an intelligent and simple plan. At the same time the next day

246
00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:11.839
they would go from door to door
to visit each neighbor. They knew very

247
00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:18.039
well that those bruises that had left
her were to be seen the next day

248
00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:25.680
and even in a few weeks.
They both began their search in the morning,

249
00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:30.920
visited every trade and neighbor of the
village until, as they intuited,

250
00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:37.680
they found the witch. The neighbor
was called Bernestina and told them from the

251
00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:44.039
window that she could not leave because
she said that a horse had knocked him

252
00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:48.720
down and this one was badly injured. The witch wasn' t stupid.

253
00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:53.680
She knew the ranchers knew their secret. The ranch spread the word about everything

254
00:25:55.640 --> 00:26:00.079
that happened in this story. Ernestina
didn' t last long in town.

255
00:26:02.039 --> 00:26:07.279
She moved in after a few months, as everyone already distrusted her. But

256
00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:14.599
still it is said that if at
dawn you lack crops. It is the

257
00:26:14.680 --> 00:26:19.960
Ernestine witch who is said to now
live among the mountains, but who occasionally

258
00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:33.640
comes back to rob the triptamaniac people. I want you to tell me some

259
00:26:33.759 --> 00:26:38.400
of you or some close family.
She' s been through night terrors or

260
00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:42.039
she' s been through insomnia or
like what' s been told in this

261
00:26:42.039 --> 00:26:49.440
story. Being sleepwalking these sleep disorders. People who suffer from them say that

262
00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:56.200
they are not at all pleasant going
the insomnia part. Many of these people,

263
00:26:56.240 --> 00:27:00.640
while most do not remember dreams,
some who do remember it when they

264
00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:06.920
are at this stage, say they
have strangers. Dreams, dreams that don

265
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:14.720
' t have much explanation, dreams
that see people there that they don'

266
00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:18.039
t know, are strangers. This
grandfather talks about his brother going through one

267
00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:23.759
of these disorders. He was sleepwalking, this strange stage of his brother walking

268
00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:30.079
asleep, changed abruptly. Although it
wasn' t a thing of the other

269
00:27:30.599 --> 00:27:34.319
world, there was something strange.
You know his brother was chased in the

270
00:27:34.680 --> 00:27:41.640
dream and so was this reflected in
real life. Something materialized, something was

271
00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:48.359
guiding him out of his house in
the dream. Luckily, his parents were

272
00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:53.400
always on the lookout, but this
evil being did not stay alone in dreams.

273
00:27:55.920 --> 00:28:02.119
According to this grandfather he was also
able to see it materialized face to

274
00:28:02.119 --> 00:28:11.400
face. His story is next hello
to the whole Community. My name is

275
00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:17.480
Carlos Osmara. I want to share
with you a story my grandfather told me.

276
00:28:18.359 --> 00:28:22.839
This story happened to him when he
was a child, he was ten

277
00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:30.079
years old and even though it was
a long time ago, he remembers it

278
00:28:30.119 --> 00:28:33.759
perfectly, as it was a time
in his life and in general, in

279
00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:40.640
his whole family, that very strange
things happened, just overnight. My grandfather

280
00:28:40.720 --> 00:28:47.839
says that his brother suffered from what
we could say insomnia, sometimes not every

281
00:28:47.960 --> 00:28:53.160
night he would get up, walk
around the house and then go back to

282
00:28:53.240 --> 00:29:00.079
sleep. While this was not something
that happened with so much everyday life,

283
00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:04.279
it was something that attracted much attention
to parents. He took his precautions,

284
00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:11.880
locked the doors, all the windows
of the houses had bars and, if

285
00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:17.079
that were not enough, his father, my great- grandfather, stayed awake

286
00:29:17.160 --> 00:29:22.640
until one in the morning to see
his son walking from one side to the

287
00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:26.880
other and once he lay down he
would be perfectly calm that nothing would happen

288
00:29:27.079 --> 00:29:33.359
to him. Lying down one in
the morning, as you know, for

289
00:29:33.440 --> 00:29:38.759
ranchers is practically a wake- up
call, but he suddenly did one night

290
00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:48.680
those sleepwalking situations escalated a lot from
one to ten. He tells his mother

291
00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:52.319
that in the night he got up
to go for water and, as usual,

292
00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:59.640
he ran over the curtain and looked
at his two children, my grandfather

293
00:29:59.640 --> 00:30:04.880
and his brother. She observed at
that time that only my grandfather was there,

294
00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:11.039
the other, the older brother,
had disappeared his mother immediately from the

295
00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:18.519
alert. Dad gets up, my
grandfather gets up and they start looking all

296
00:30:18.599 --> 00:30:23.079
over the house, but they couldn' t find him. All the doors

297
00:30:23.119 --> 00:30:30.240
of the house without exception had a
key. The windows bars were still in

298
00:30:30.279 --> 00:30:36.519
place. There was no way his
brother would have run away from the house,

299
00:30:36.839 --> 00:30:41.799
but this had happened. His father, perhaps because of despair, opened

300
00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:49.319
the door and ran out into the
street and saw him. I was walking

301
00:30:49.359 --> 00:30:56.240
in the street with an arm outstretched, as if carrying him by the hand

302
00:30:56.559 --> 00:31:03.160
walking to a place. Who knows
ur where my great- grandfather ran and

303
00:31:03.160 --> 00:31:07.440
took him by the hand and very
slightly led him back to the house.

304
00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:12.440
You know that sleepwalkers should not wake
you up and did your best that night

305
00:31:12.599 --> 00:31:18.640
to keep you inside the house.
My grandfather says that he, his father,

306
00:31:18.799 --> 00:31:25.880
his mother identified that something strange happened
that night, since all over the

307
00:31:25.920 --> 00:31:32.039
house there was a smell like smoke, like when they burn garbage, like

308
00:31:32.079 --> 00:31:38.640
when there is a fire, that
suffocating black smoke that even makes you cough

309
00:31:38.680 --> 00:31:45.559
sometimes. That smell felt all over
the house. But of course, without

310
00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:52.440
seeing the smoke so much so that
he and his mother began coughing and when

311
00:31:52.480 --> 00:31:56.480
his brother and father arrived, they
also began coughing. It was a very

312
00:31:56.559 --> 00:32:02.000
penetrating smell that even had to open
doors, they had to open windows to

313
00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:07.039
get it out. My great-
grandfather, taking precautions, started checking every

314
00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:13.920
place in the house for where that
smell came from, but he found nothing.

315
00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:21.279
The next night this happened again.
My grandfather' s brother again disappeared

316
00:32:21.359 --> 00:32:27.279
from bed and found him again on
the street. My grandfather explains that he

317
00:32:27.319 --> 00:32:32.599
was not woken up that time,
perhaps not to scare him, but he

318
00:32:32.640 --> 00:32:38.039
realized very well the ear, so
he heard easily when the door was taken

319
00:32:38.039 --> 00:32:46.279
off the locks and walked out.
He looked out the window, saw his

320
00:32:46.319 --> 00:32:52.720
father come in the company of his
brother until he put him back in the

321
00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:58.160
house. It was a very hard
time. He remembers that his father went

322
00:32:58.200 --> 00:33:04.400
from staying awake until the morning to
staying until three in the morning. And

323
00:33:04.440 --> 00:33:10.880
not only he, but his mother
had also discovered that if his brother did

324
00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:15.920
not wake up after three in the
morning, that day he would sleep peacefully,

325
00:33:16.759 --> 00:33:22.559
but he would wake up, he
would walk from one place to another.

326
00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:27.839
That day I was going out on
the street. What he never explained

327
00:33:28.640 --> 00:33:34.839
is how it was possible for him
to sleepwalk out into the street when all

328
00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:38.759
the doors were secure. He could
never explain how he accomplished this feat.

329
00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:45.839
While all this was weird. The
explanation they gave my grandfather of his brother

330
00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:51.640
' s very words was the most
terrifying thing for the whole family, for

331
00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:59.000
his brother explained to them that he
was led in his dreams by a man,

332
00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:05.680
a man of appearance, somewhat gloomy, with long arms reaching to the

333
00:34:05.839 --> 00:34:15.960
ground that even dragged them. This
man has a hat that extended that long

334
00:34:17.159 --> 00:34:23.400
hand took his brother' s palm
and led him all over the house to

335
00:34:23.440 --> 00:34:28.119
get him out of this That'
s what he dreamed. My grandfather’

336
00:34:28.199 --> 00:34:35.880
s parents began to talk to doctors, as well as priests, and began

337
00:34:35.920 --> 00:34:40.559
to medicate his brother, as well
as to pray to him. And other

338
00:34:40.599 --> 00:34:45.440
than this calming him down, he
says it made him worse as the day

339
00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:53.559
came when his brother just disappeared.
My great- grandparents explain that night that

340
00:34:53.599 --> 00:35:00.400
they had stayed awake in the room
until about three twenty- nine in the

341
00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:05.719
morning, until without more sleep they
could more with them the next morning,

342
00:35:06.039 --> 00:35:12.079
when they woke up, not even
the morning. Just a few hours later

343
00:35:12.119 --> 00:35:16.199
they came across the surprise that their
son was not in town. The whole

344
00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:22.840
call was made and the closest people, friends and family, got going,

345
00:35:22.079 --> 00:35:30.360
started looking for their brother. The
hours passed and my grandfather was more and

346
00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:36.599
more concerned until that, because of
despair, was a church. He got

347
00:35:36.639 --> 00:35:42.440
into it and started to act,
started praying. He has no idea how

348
00:35:42.480 --> 00:35:46.760
long he prayed, but creeds were
broken, parents ventured, our god saved

349
00:35:46.840 --> 00:35:52.800
you, asking for his brother to
appear again. But it was at that

350
00:35:53.599 --> 00:36:00.880
time that a very peculiar smell,
a familiar smell, which he had heard

351
00:36:00.960 --> 00:36:06.760
every night without exception, every time
his brother rose up as a sleepwalker.

352
00:36:08.480 --> 00:36:15.960
That smell of smoke has burned.
It began to impregnate the whole church.

353
00:36:15.159 --> 00:36:22.559
My grandfather kept praying until he inevitably
started coughing again. He explains the following

354
00:36:23.280 --> 00:36:30.880
and affirms it. I can tell
Alex that trembling I remember the first time

355
00:36:30.920 --> 00:36:36.719
this story told me. He was
like queido, as if every word he

356
00:36:36.800 --> 00:36:44.599
said carried him immediately to that moment. He remembers that he turned around and

357
00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:49.360
saw that man, who told his
brother that a man in dark clothing,

358
00:36:50.880 --> 00:36:59.519
with a hat and long limbs appeared
in his dreams. His hands reached to

359
00:36:59.559 --> 00:37:07.360
the floor, His palms were being
dragged with every step he took. Because,

360
00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:15.679
yes, he got very slowly,
but he got closer down that hallway.

361
00:37:15.719 --> 00:37:23.519
My grandfather turned immediately, closed his
eyes, pressed his hands and kept

362
00:37:23.559 --> 00:37:30.280
praying, even now almost screaming.
He was standing out loud. Maybe in

363
00:37:30.280 --> 00:37:36.079
some way, those prayers would make
that thing go away, but this didn

364
00:37:36.119 --> 00:37:43.239
' t happen. My grandfather says
he felt as clearly as he had been

365
00:37:43.280 --> 00:37:49.159
dragging his arms through those steps he
was taking. This strange man passed by

366
00:37:49.199 --> 00:37:55.440
him. My grandfather looked up and
saw how he was going through a wall

367
00:37:55.639 --> 00:38:00.000
at the end of the church behind
where the father was giving the Mass.

368
00:38:02.159 --> 00:38:07.760
On that wall were placed altar boys
who were with those who went out with

369
00:38:07.840 --> 00:38:13.880
everything prepared on certain occasions to the
church. He immediately got up and ran

370
00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:20.639
out and met the priest and a
neighbor. The priest had good news and

371
00:38:20.679 --> 00:38:24.880
they were even looking for him.
His brother had appeared and his parents had

372
00:38:24.880 --> 00:38:31.280
him. My grandfather is immediately happy, but that is not without mentioning to

373
00:38:31.480 --> 00:38:40.639
the priest that a strange man of
terrifying appearance was behind the wall. This

374
00:38:40.719 --> 00:38:49.519
priest and neighbor were immediately observed,
but they met no one. My grandfather

375
00:38:49.599 --> 00:38:52.440
can' t explain what had happened, but the priest told him calmly,

376
00:38:54.039 --> 00:39:00.760
son, you go with your family. Don' t worry. He left

377
00:39:00.880 --> 00:39:07.079
his scent in a certain way.
My grandfather was very relieved, as the

378
00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:13.000
priest had believed him in a certain
way. I told you. Upon arriving

379
00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:16.320
and listening to his brother, he
told them that he did not know where

380
00:39:16.400 --> 00:39:24.119
he had been, that he only
remembers walking in a bus stop that was

381
00:39:24.159 --> 00:39:30.519
very close to the village and that
he, upon regaining consciousness, immediately returned.

382
00:39:31.039 --> 00:39:37.199
But he remembers walking in the morning. It' s his last memory.

383
00:39:37.239 --> 00:39:43.400
Something strange happened. My grandfather says
that after this, his brother'

384
00:39:43.440 --> 00:39:50.039
s sleepwalking nights almost completely ended with
the exception of a few times, but

385
00:39:50.039 --> 00:39:53.360
nothing unusual would get up and go
back to bed. This time I didn

386
00:39:53.440 --> 00:39:59.199
' t leave the house anymore.
He was back to normal. That strange

387
00:39:59.280 --> 00:40:05.440
man and that smell of smoke stopped
appearing in the house during the night.

388
00:40:06.840 --> 00:40:12.840
They do not know who or what
caused this strange man to appear, nor

389
00:40:13.000 --> 00:40:21.000
do they know what was done to
make him go away. Thank you for

390
00:40:21.039 --> 00:40:44.199
hearing my grandfather' s story.
Greetings to the entire crypt community. The

391
00:40:44.280 --> 00:40:51.280
next story happened to my grandfather told
it to me precisely at Christmas times.

392
00:40:51.320 --> 00:40:55.800
Previously, when I was about four
or five years old, we used to

393
00:40:55.880 --> 00:41:00.679
go to my grandparents' ranch.
My parents got tired of meeting there.

394
00:41:00.559 --> 00:41:07.280
So in the village many of their
friendships were still there when they would come

395
00:41:07.320 --> 00:41:12.159
to greet them. Usually, I
stayed at my grandparents' house. I

396
00:41:12.280 --> 00:41:15.719
really liked spending time with them,
playing in part of their yard and also

397
00:41:15.840 --> 00:41:22.599
being with animals. All this started
when I was seven. I was climbing

398
00:41:22.679 --> 00:41:27.800
up one of the trees that my
grandfather had at the limits of his lands,

399
00:41:29.039 --> 00:41:32.880
as he had hectares of crops.
I remember hearing a child' s

400
00:41:32.960 --> 00:41:40.760
voice underneath me. This kid asked
me if I could come up with me

401
00:41:40.760 --> 00:41:44.480
to make him honest. I was
very focused on wanting to climb the tree,

402
00:41:44.920 --> 00:41:47.519
so I didn' t pay attention
to it and told him if it

403
00:41:47.599 --> 00:41:52.360
got weird. When I no longer
heard this child, I climbed up and

404
00:41:52.400 --> 00:41:59.519
started to go down guavas from this
tree and then eat them, but I

405
00:41:59.639 --> 00:42:05.360
never heard this child again and as
much as I saw it sideways, I

406
00:42:05.400 --> 00:42:08.920
couldn' t see where it was
either. The area was quite large and

407
00:42:08.960 --> 00:42:14.599
was surrounded by a fence that divided
my grandfather' s land. I thought

408
00:42:14.719 --> 00:42:20.039
maybe my grandfather knew the boy maybe
he worked for him, as he sometimes

409
00:42:20.079 --> 00:42:23.840
offered jobs to the small children of
the neighbors. Anyway, time went by

410
00:42:23.920 --> 00:42:29.280
and I came down from the tree. I went to my grandfather immediately who

411
00:42:29.320 --> 00:42:32.480
was in the courtyard. She was
getting the doggies from one of her bitches

412
00:42:32.519 --> 00:42:37.840
who found herself pregnant. Because of
the excitement, I did not mention anything

413
00:42:37.000 --> 00:42:42.559
that had happened to my grandfather until
the next day, and that was precisely

414
00:42:43.760 --> 00:42:51.800
when he saw me going towards this
tree. He yelled at me and told

415
00:42:51.840 --> 00:42:55.480
me to come back immediately. He
took me by the shoulders and told me

416
00:42:55.519 --> 00:43:02.239
I was strictly forbidden to approach that
tree. I was small at the time,

417
00:43:04.079 --> 00:43:09.719
so he replied that it was that
snakes lived in this one. Right

418
00:43:09.800 --> 00:43:14.960
away. Despite my age, I
understood that it was a simple pretext,

419
00:43:15.440 --> 00:43:20.760
since my grandfather knew that he was
afraid of snakes, in addition to that

420
00:43:20.880 --> 00:43:24.519
the other day he had gone up. Needless to say, I didn'

421
00:43:24.519 --> 00:43:29.440
t see any. I can say
that I spent looking at that tree for

422
00:43:30.599 --> 00:43:35.679
a while and noticed that it was
the one that had the most fruits compared

423
00:43:35.760 --> 00:43:38.960
to the others, and even had
many on the ground that had fallen from

424
00:43:38.960 --> 00:43:44.719
its branches. It was more than
obvious that my grandfather wouldn' t let

425
00:43:44.760 --> 00:43:52.239
anyone near this one it was as
if that tree was forbidden. Time passed

426
00:43:52.280 --> 00:43:57.280
and that tree, as usual,
every year I went to, was strictly

427
00:43:57.440 --> 00:44:05.719
forbidden to approach. As the years
passed, I could not contain the curiosity

428
00:44:05.760 --> 00:44:13.119
I felt of knowing that I was
not allowed to approach this one even when

429
00:44:13.119 --> 00:44:15.199
I was sixteen years old. When
I asked my grandfather, I told him

430
00:44:15.239 --> 00:44:21.440
to tell me the reason and told
him that when I was seven years old

431
00:44:22.440 --> 00:44:25.880
I had gone up and nothing bad
had happened, that even a boy had

432
00:44:25.920 --> 00:44:30.800
approached me when I was upstairs.
When I told him this, he saw

433
00:44:30.840 --> 00:44:37.079
me again and asked me to see
the boy in the tree. He asked

434
00:44:37.199 --> 00:44:43.840
me very seriously, so I thought
maybe I knew him. I told him

435
00:44:43.920 --> 00:44:47.239
to see it or not, that
I had heard it when I was climbing

436
00:44:47.360 --> 00:44:52.679
up the tree, but when I
looked for it, I was no longer

437
00:44:52.679 --> 00:44:57.480
there. My grandfather got up from
his rocking chair and told me the reason

438
00:44:57.599 --> 00:45:02.239
for this. He was not prepared
to know of his great fear of this

439
00:45:02.239 --> 00:45:07.280
tree. But it happens that when
he was very young, about my age,

440
00:45:07.400 --> 00:45:13.519
at that time a teenager met a
child of some twelve years old,

441
00:45:13.920 --> 00:45:21.920
who suffered a great loss, since
his two parents had died. Thus,

442
00:45:22.320 --> 00:45:27.199
the child soon plunged into depression and, although he was with more family,

443
00:45:27.400 --> 00:45:30.639
with his aunt and cousins, he
could not overcome the departure of his parents.

444
00:45:36.719 --> 00:45:40.000
My grandfather started dealing with this child, as everyone in the village was

445
00:45:40.039 --> 00:45:45.719
trying to help him over time,
more or less. My grandfather and he

446
00:45:45.960 --> 00:45:52.719
developed some kind of friendship, as
sometimes on weekends they played along with more

447
00:45:52.760 --> 00:45:59.239
children within the crop hectares. My
grandfather was trying to talk to her,

448
00:45:59.480 --> 00:46:02.920
but she was almost impono. The
child was increasingly turned off, not wanting

449
00:46:04.840 --> 00:46:10.760
to do anything they were trying to
avoid. Sadly it happened. The boy

450
00:46:10.840 --> 00:46:15.280
took his own life, but I
didn' t do it anywhere. During

451
00:46:15.320 --> 00:46:20.960
the morning my grandfather' s house
entered. He knew how to get in

452
00:46:20.960 --> 00:46:25.079
without making noise, because from so
many times he had gone, the dogs

453
00:46:25.119 --> 00:46:29.719
and animals already knew him, so
they didn' t make any noise either.

454
00:46:29.760 --> 00:46:35.519
When they saw him come in,
they received him as if he were

455
00:46:35.599 --> 00:46:40.480
in the family, walking wide across
the land in the darkness of the night,

456
00:46:40.880 --> 00:46:46.559
until he reached that tree, that
tree that had been an ordinary tree

457
00:46:46.679 --> 00:46:52.280
for my grandfather until that time.
This child used it to pass a rope

458
00:46:52.400 --> 00:46:59.719
through his branches and end up hanging
from him at dawn, My great-

459
00:46:59.840 --> 00:47:06.639
grandmother stuck the guerri in the sky
as she saw the little body hanging the

460
00:47:06.760 --> 00:47:09.760
child was barely fourteen years old by
that time the news spread all over the

461
00:47:09.760 --> 00:47:16.320
town. At the funeral of this
child almost all attended That same evening,

462
00:47:17.639 --> 00:47:23.360
my grandfather, being fourteen years old, lived an experience that would leave him

463
00:47:23.440 --> 00:47:30.960
traumatized for life and with a deep
fear for this tree. That afternoon,

464
00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:36.320
he was alone, as his parents
were at the funeral he decided to return,

465
00:47:36.880 --> 00:47:40.559
as he was only a couple of
blocks away from home. Upon arrival,

466
00:47:40.679 --> 00:47:45.880
he safely closed the door and before
entering the bathroom outside his house.

467
00:47:47.440 --> 00:47:53.480
It was a wooden bath of those
before saw towards the courtyard in the villages

468
00:47:53.639 --> 00:48:01.159
the light of the moon enough to
illuminate the harvests. My grandfather made the

469
00:48:01.280 --> 00:48:07.039
mistake of looking straight at the tree
where this young man had hung himself.

470
00:48:08.320 --> 00:48:15.760
What he saw left him totally petrified. It was the boy. The same

471
00:48:15.880 --> 00:48:22.400
child was now standing in front of
him staring at him from the tree.

472
00:48:22.760 --> 00:48:28.119
My grandfather ran to his parents'
room and says he stayed there until they

473
00:48:28.239 --> 00:48:35.079
arrived, says that it was a
time that passed him very slowly. The

474
00:48:35.159 --> 00:48:39.000
only thing I could do was to
look from time to time through the window,

475
00:48:39.199 --> 00:48:47.119
but in doing so I always saw
the child in the same position,

476
00:48:47.760 --> 00:48:55.079
watching him in the distance, as
if I knew that my grandfather was hiding,

477
00:48:55.559 --> 00:49:00.599
keeping his gaze fixed in that window. The nightmare for his luck ended

478
00:49:00.480 --> 00:49:08.440
when his parents arrived, but the
apparitions did not end. My grandfather had

479
00:49:08.519 --> 00:49:13.880
the habit of going to the bathroom
once at night, about one or two

480
00:49:13.920 --> 00:49:21.400
in the morning, and for him
this was normal. But this began to

481
00:49:21.480 --> 00:49:28.280
turn into martyrdom when he began to
realize that every time that child came out

482
00:49:29.519 --> 00:49:37.960
he continued to prevail in front of
that tree, watching it from the time

483
00:49:37.000 --> 00:49:42.559
he went out and went into the
bathroom until he returned. He couldn'

484
00:49:42.639 --> 00:49:45.679
t take this long, so he
figured it out so he wouldn' t

485
00:49:45.679 --> 00:49:50.880
go to the bathroom anymore. Besides
trying to knock him down. He didn

486
00:49:51.000 --> 00:49:53.920
' t care that his mother was
angry at any punishment they put on him.

487
00:49:54.639 --> 00:50:00.880
It was better than continuing to bear
that spirit that would runr used night

488
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:07.880
after night, but his fear grew
when he realized that he could not lay

489
00:50:07.880 --> 00:50:12.480
down the tree. It was with
an ax in hand and, as much

490
00:50:12.519 --> 00:50:19.280
as he tried, he couldn'
t even crack it, let alone make

491
00:50:19.280 --> 00:50:23.320
it loose. His last choice was
to go with his mother and beg him

492
00:50:23.400 --> 00:50:30.679
for something. They did it according
to what he asked for. His mother

493
00:50:30.760 --> 00:50:37.840
spoke to a church father to sprinkle
holy water around that tree. Although as

494
00:50:37.920 --> 00:50:42.480
a precaution, my grandfather never went
out to the bathroom again at night because

495
00:50:42.559 --> 00:50:45.199
he didn' t want to meet
him. Again he made the decision to

496
00:50:45.239 --> 00:50:52.280
get away from that tree. Even
when he married and continued in that house

497
00:50:52.400 --> 00:50:58.880
because of his parents' inheritance,
he gave him to knock down that tree,

498
00:50:59.079 --> 00:51:02.280
but thought that maybe if he knocked
him down, he would make something

499
00:51:02.280 --> 00:51:09.360
bad wake up. Maybe the tree
contained that spirit. Or at least it

500
00:51:09.480 --> 00:51:15.079
' s what he believes, because
while he' s there, that child

501
00:51:15.079 --> 00:51:22.280
doesn' t move. Just observe
it has come to see it other times,

502
00:51:22.880 --> 00:51:30.039
though not daily, and these apparitions
intensify in rainy times. The reason

503
00:51:30.599 --> 00:51:36.039
frankly doesn' t know it,
but he' s learned to live with

504
00:51:36.039 --> 00:51:40.239
it. And even when my grandfather
saw him, he told me he wasn

505
00:51:40.360 --> 00:51:45.920
' t afraid or immuted. But
that' s true. It' s

506
00:51:46.079 --> 00:51:51.840
strictly forbidden to approach this one after
he' s just told me the story.

507
00:51:52.920 --> 00:51:54.599
I remembered what I had experienced that
day when I was a child.

508
00:51:57.199 --> 00:52:02.519
The boy who had spoken to me
was the same one my grandfather saw I

509
00:52:02.559 --> 00:52:07.360
believed in his story. And now
that ten years have passed of this,

510
00:52:07.400 --> 00:52:15.000
my grandfather is no longer with us. The tree is still there, but

511
00:52:15.320 --> 00:52:20.119
by chance it' s intact.
It' s as if in this one

512
00:52:20.239 --> 00:52:27.280
time doesn' t pass, as
if somehow something preserves it. I don

513
00:52:27.320 --> 00:52:30.800
' t know how long that tree
lasts or who' s gonna knock it

514
00:52:30.800 --> 00:52:37.639
down. All I know is that
I' ll take my grandfather' s

515
00:52:37.639 --> 00:52:40.679
advice and stay away from this one. I hope you liked my story.

516
00:52:45.400 --> 00:52:50.519
Playing with friends is something that perhaps
in these times is not so normal.

517
00:52:52.480 --> 00:52:54.880
If we go to different schools,
many of these children are playing like this,

518
00:52:57.320 --> 00:53:01.159
but the vast majority from mobile games
online. I think people who go

519
00:53:01.199 --> 00:53:06.400
from thirty- five to forty will
know that this was not the norm before.

520
00:53:07.599 --> 00:53:10.880
Previously, there weren' t even
any cell phones. Previously what was

521
00:53:10.920 --> 00:53:16.639
played was football, the enchanted votes
and, as in this account, the

522
00:53:17.639 --> 00:53:22.440
hidden ones. This grandfather said he
was with his group of friends playing hide

523
00:53:22.519 --> 00:53:29.400
and seek. When he suddenly noticed
the presence of something else that was with

524
00:53:29.480 --> 00:53:34.079
them, he confused him with one
of his friends. Of course what I

525
00:53:34.159 --> 00:53:38.840
didn' t know was that this
something would lead him to his hiding place,

526
00:53:39.760 --> 00:53:44.679
a very dangerous hiding place that,
if he hadn' t realized time,

527
00:53:44.880 --> 00:53:52.000
might have ended up in a tragedy. Your story is next hello good

528
00:53:52.079 --> 00:53:59.639
night. My name is Milan Hernández. Then I' ll tell you about

529
00:54:00.079 --> 00:54:06.239
my grandfather' s experience. This
happened to him at his ranch when he,

530
00:54:06.679 --> 00:54:10.440
like every weekend afternoon, will usually
go out to play with his friends,

531
00:54:10.559 --> 00:54:16.079
a very normal activity if you take
into account that these are children that

532
00:54:16.079 --> 00:54:24.920
vary from seven to ten eleven years
old. My grandfather remembers this very well,

533
00:54:27.079 --> 00:54:30.760
but, to be honest, it' s been many years and he

534
00:54:30.840 --> 00:54:34.119
doesn' t remember the name of
his friends very well. But what you

535
00:54:34.199 --> 00:54:38.800
do remember is the nicknames we each
had, and I think it' s

536
00:54:38.800 --> 00:54:44.719
normal. Many of us remember the
nickname more than the name itself, since

537
00:54:44.800 --> 00:54:50.840
by the nickname we say daily to
that person, the youngest boy who was

538
00:54:50.920 --> 00:54:55.760
joining them, they called the sheep
to the other one who followed the pylon

539
00:54:57.400 --> 00:55:01.360
and to another claudius ironically Claudius was
not his name, if they didn'

540
00:55:01.400 --> 00:55:07.920
t call him that for the cartoons
and then, my grandfather, as I

541
00:55:07.920 --> 00:55:12.679
said the sheep, was the smallest
of all. He was nine years old.

542
00:55:13.679 --> 00:55:17.639
Sometimes more children got together, sometimes
less, but they four were the

543
00:55:19.679 --> 00:55:25.400
ones who were always together and always
were playing different things. On one occasion,

544
00:55:25.519 --> 00:55:32.239
as so many others were playing football
and unaware of this, they withdrew

545
00:55:32.280 --> 00:55:38.360
from the village. You know,
for no apparent reason. They were just

546
00:55:38.400 --> 00:55:46.079
kicking the ball back at the same
time that, they were walking, talking,

547
00:55:46.440 --> 00:55:52.239
having fun until they came to a
place with a clearing in which they

548
00:55:52.440 --> 00:55:58.800
came up with the wonderful idea of
playing a well- known game. The

549
00:55:58.840 --> 00:56:02.119
hiding places. One was going to
count while others were going to hide?

550
00:56:02.960 --> 00:56:07.800
A game that I think we all
know, they did it by flying.

551
00:56:07.800 --> 00:56:12.920
They chose who was going to tell
first and it was my grandfather' s

552
00:56:12.920 --> 00:56:17.599
turn. He started counting, while
everyone else was running to hide. My

553
00:56:17.639 --> 00:56:24.079
grandfather finished and started looking for them. He looks far away at a house,

554
00:56:24.360 --> 00:56:30.400
an abandoned house, which has no
windows, which has no doors and

555
00:56:30.480 --> 00:56:36.719
which can clearly be used to hide, so it is the first place that

556
00:56:36.800 --> 00:56:45.480
goes in that house. Quietly clear, start looking from one place, start

557
00:56:45.880 --> 00:56:51.480
looking at another, looking for those
debris. He says there was a bed,

558
00:56:51.800 --> 00:56:55.440
a very worn mattress and the base
of a also rotten wooden bed.

559
00:56:57.679 --> 00:57:04.880
He researched below this window furniture still
but very finished, as well as chairs

560
00:57:04.920 --> 00:57:08.480
and tables. He was already about
to retire, but at that moment,

561
00:57:08.760 --> 00:57:15.400
on the second floor, he hears
noises, noises of steps that go from

562
00:57:15.440 --> 00:57:21.519
one side to the other, but
not running or walking. It was like

563
00:57:21.880 --> 00:57:25.199
a little jump. What he thinks
is the next thing you' ve noticed

564
00:57:25.239 --> 00:57:30.079
that he' s inside, that
you' re hiding somewhere else. Maybe

565
00:57:30.119 --> 00:57:36.519
even the three of them were there. My grandfather climbs the stairs very quietly

566
00:57:36.559 --> 00:57:42.239
and while it was already getting late, he sees the shadow of something very

567
00:57:42.280 --> 00:57:47.800
similar to the shadow that his friend
would have to the one called the hairy

568
00:57:47.800 --> 00:57:52.960
sheep, very thin and short.
It was the lowest of all, being

569
00:57:53.079 --> 00:57:58.840
the least note like this one runs
away, escapes from his sight and immediately

570
00:57:59.559 --> 00:58:06.480
so in a wooden door, closing. My grandfather ran right away and it

571
00:58:06.559 --> 00:58:10.880
didn' t take long. He
hit a closet, an old wooden closet.

572
00:58:13.599 --> 00:58:22.880
So completely finished the termites the water
had made this wardrobe look very gloomy

573
00:58:22.920 --> 00:58:30.679
and also very deteriorated. He comes
close and knocks on the door and very

574
00:58:30.719 --> 00:58:37.320
confident. She says sheep, I' ve found you She' s already

575
00:58:37.400 --> 00:58:43.719
out of there and don' t
get too strong in there,' cause

576
00:58:43.719 --> 00:58:45.119
the closet looks like it' s
rotting. Maybe the base rots and you

577
00:58:45.239 --> 00:58:52.159
fall out of there don' t
get too confident. But no one comes

578
00:58:52.159 --> 00:58:55.159
out. My grandfather waits for a
few briefs, seconds, some, ten

579
00:58:55.280 --> 00:59:02.800
or fifteen and repeats it in this
time, erases salt from there already I

580
00:59:02.840 --> 00:59:07.400
found that you do not hear but
what he hears from the inside is the

581
00:59:08.039 --> 00:59:13.559
sound of a crying, a very
faint cry, coming, sure from a

582
00:59:13.559 --> 00:59:17.440
small child. My grandfather' s
worried right now he knocks on the door

583
00:59:19.360 --> 00:59:24.079
again Borrega, what you got,
why you' re crying. My grandfather

584
00:59:24.119 --> 00:59:29.000
explains that being the youngest in the
group, he was obviously the one they

585
00:59:29.000 --> 00:59:31.559
cared for the most. Maybe he' d been bitten by an animal.

586
00:59:31.960 --> 00:59:37.400
Maybe he was sad or maybe he
didn' t want to tell. He

587
00:59:37.440 --> 00:59:39.800
was a little crazy. To tell
you the truth, as he explains,

588
00:59:39.920 --> 00:59:46.000
even my grandfather tells Borrega, if
you don' t want to tell,

589
00:59:46.159 --> 00:59:47.800
I make up the group that I
haven' t found you. I'

590
00:59:47.880 --> 00:59:53.239
ll go get the others, but
jump out of the closet that can spoil

591
00:59:53.320 --> 01:00:00.000
at any moment. The crying continues. My grandfather tries to open the closet,

592
01:00:00.840 --> 01:00:05.199
but does not succeed, Although it
seems rotten, despite being even rusty,

593
01:00:05.519 --> 01:00:12.440
the handle and the pirilla does not
manage to open it. Start trying

594
01:00:12.480 --> 01:00:19.039
to struggle the door, while crying
goes on and on at that moment he

595
01:00:19.920 --> 01:00:25.159
hears a noise. It' s
screams, family screams, his friends are

596
01:00:27.760 --> 01:00:30.639
calling him pass and it turns out
that in all that time, one of

597
01:00:30.719 --> 01:00:36.840
the neighbors had seen them and told
them to come back, that a storm

598
01:00:36.880 --> 01:00:40.840
was coming and if it was cloudy
and that their parents would not like them

599
01:00:40.840 --> 01:00:45.840
to get wet at all. The
parents of the past were very strict in

600
01:00:45.960 --> 01:00:51.400
this area. When my grandfather went
and looked up, there were his three

601
01:00:51.440 --> 01:00:58.159
friends, the sheep, Claudio and
the pylon. The three had hidden in

602
01:00:58.320 --> 01:01:02.320
the same place, but on an
antenna that was only a few meters ahead,

603
01:01:02.679 --> 01:01:08.559
no one had hidden in that house
because, in his own words,

604
01:01:08.679 --> 01:01:15.559
it looked like you were going up
to the second floor alone. The house

605
01:01:15.599 --> 01:01:21.760
was practically falling apart and they even
told my grandfather to get down as quickly

606
01:01:21.880 --> 01:01:27.599
as possible, but that my grandfather
at that time was very carefully surprised.

607
01:01:30.960 --> 01:01:37.559
Then who is the person inside and
as if it were some kind of force,

608
01:01:37.000 --> 01:01:45.440
as if perhaps fate had saved him. Those words that his friends told

609
01:01:45.440 --> 01:01:52.480
him that that house was falling apart
immediately took hold because the place where that

610
01:01:52.599 --> 01:02:00.719
closet was was just fell. The
floor, along with the Mario gun,

611
01:02:00.400 --> 01:02:07.639
fell to the first floor and that
closet, that little closet, was completely

612
01:02:07.760 --> 01:02:14.079
shredded. The doors flew out.
The wood fell all over the floor.

613
01:02:14.199 --> 01:02:19.920
They also yelled at my grandfather,
he goes down carefully. You see,

614
01:02:21.079 --> 01:02:25.079
the house is falling. My more
worried than frightened grandfather goes down, as

615
01:02:25.119 --> 01:02:30.119
although the sheep wasn' t there, perhaps a child, yes, a

616
01:02:30.119 --> 01:02:35.559
child alien to them, perhaps a
child who was sad. But when you

617
01:02:35.559 --> 01:02:40.599
go through those rubble, you notice
that no one came in the closet.

618
01:02:42.639 --> 01:02:50.159
It was only pure wood and stones
that rested on that floor. After this,

619
01:02:50.559 --> 01:02:57.159
my grandfather did not enter that house
again and did not even last long.

620
01:02:58.440 --> 01:03:07.360
He says this one fell apart just
a couple of months later. A

621
01:03:07.480 --> 01:03:15.119
lot happens by coincidence. By coincidence
we have saved ourselves or seen things that

622
01:03:15.159 --> 01:03:19.800
even for other eyes or for most
people could be extraordinary sometimes unexplained facts,

623
01:03:20.519 --> 01:03:25.320
as amazing happen in front of one
and one. He did not even realize

624
01:03:25.440 --> 01:03:30.320
that, just as this grandfather happened
to him, that, because of the

625
01:03:30.320 --> 01:03:34.880
hours, because of the day,
he had to be delayed and with his

626
01:03:36.039 --> 01:03:42.239
horse, who was riding on that
distant road of the village, he found

627
01:03:42.280 --> 01:03:46.480
that a burial was taking place in
the cemetery. Little did he know that

628
01:03:46.519 --> 01:03:53.400
what he was seeing would really be
paranormal, that souls can still interact with

629
01:03:53.440 --> 01:03:59.360
us and that he lived it that
night. But he just didn' t

630
01:03:59.480 --> 01:04:09.400
notice this. Your story is next
hello. My name is Anabel Martinez.

631
01:04:10.519 --> 01:04:15.519
I greet the entire audience of the
crypt and also the narrator. On this

632
01:04:15.599 --> 01:04:20.360
occasion I want to share with you
my paranormal experience, which most of all

633
01:04:20.440 --> 01:04:26.400
is my grandfather' s experience rest
in peace. He told us this story

634
01:04:26.639 --> 01:04:30.400
one weekend when we went to his
house. My grandfather is one of those

635
01:04:30.440 --> 01:04:36.199
ranch people, he' s very
stubborn and he' s always liked his

636
01:04:36.239 --> 01:04:43.239
life so lonely. You will see
at that time when this happened to him,

637
01:04:44.760 --> 01:04:47.119
he lived absolutely only my grandmother.
By this time all his children,

638
01:04:47.960 --> 01:04:53.679
including my father, who was also
his son, had passed away. They

639
01:04:53.679 --> 01:05:00.199
were already married and everyone had taken
their course. Of course they were watching

640
01:05:00.280 --> 01:05:04.960
him, but they had lives in
other cities families jobs, so they could

641
01:05:05.000 --> 01:05:09.920
come see him from time to time
and from time to time. I am

642
01:05:09.960 --> 01:05:14.559
talking about months and also calling him
every three days, every two days,

643
01:05:15.000 --> 01:05:18.599
and that old man was alone in
his house and even though my father told

644
01:05:18.639 --> 01:05:24.559
him to come and live with us, since we were his closest relatives.

645
01:05:25.639 --> 01:05:30.000
He never wanted to have animals,
to work, thousand pas to work,

646
01:05:30.880 --> 01:05:36.960
he had a huge house with different
rooms for his children who were now empty,

647
01:05:38.159 --> 01:05:43.000
but he liked to live like this. Every weekend we went with him

648
01:05:43.079 --> 01:05:45.679
so he wouldn' t feel alone. And it was on these weekends that

649
01:05:46.480 --> 01:05:51.320
one afternoon at night, on Saturday
we were outside his house roasting the OTEs,

650
01:05:53.159 --> 01:05:57.760
when he suddenly got serious and told
me, my sister, my father

651
01:05:57.880 --> 01:06:00.880
and my mother that he had a
story to tell us that had just happened

652
01:06:01.000 --> 01:06:09.800
to him days ago. Passe Turns
out he' s not sure, but

653
01:06:09.960 --> 01:06:14.880
it was maybe a Sunday or a
Monday day, he was already about to

654
01:06:14.920 --> 01:06:19.719
return when on that note he'
s missing cattle. To be more specific,

655
01:06:20.159 --> 01:06:25.400
a pig and a eraser. He
gets on his horse. I was

656
01:06:25.440 --> 01:06:30.400
on my way looking for them,
as the corral where I had them had

657
01:06:30.440 --> 01:06:35.639
fallen some woods and probably these animals
had gone out there. He' s

658
01:06:35.639 --> 01:06:41.360
got them retired with some boys who
help him keep an eye on them,

659
01:06:41.840 --> 01:06:45.599
but they haven' t come yet. My grandfather spent hours searching for them

660
01:06:45.639 --> 01:06:49.480
until the boys arrived and helped him
too. This delayed him so much that

661
01:06:49.559 --> 01:06:55.800
he was returning home later, but
at night on his way to the house,

662
01:06:55.960 --> 01:07:00.039
he has to pass through the municipal
cemetery, a cemetery that is far

663
01:07:00.119 --> 01:07:09.159
from the village and other localities or
houses. He too, when he was

664
01:07:09.239 --> 01:07:15.960
passing by, notes that there are
many people inside the cemetery. The cemetery

665
01:07:15.960 --> 01:07:20.039
is like downhill, the road is
on high ground, so at a certain

666
01:07:20.199 --> 01:07:26.239
distance, maybe a few ten meters
between the cemetery fence and the road,

667
01:07:26.599 --> 01:07:32.480
you can perfectly see the whole cemetery
from above or almost everything, and you

668
01:07:32.559 --> 01:07:40.760
see that there are many people surrounded
in the same place and what he thinks

669
01:07:40.880 --> 01:07:46.800
good, because they are surely burying
someone My grandfather knows very well. It

670
01:07:46.880 --> 01:07:50.719
' s a lot, but a
lot of respect for what you keep quiet

671
01:07:50.719 --> 01:07:56.440
about. He keeps walking with his
horse until he realizes something else, and

672
01:07:56.440 --> 01:08:04.239
there are two silhouettes between the tombs. Playing games draws his attention. This

673
01:08:04.840 --> 01:08:11.440
turns and sees and realizes that they
are children and these children he recognizes immediately.

674
01:08:14.840 --> 01:08:21.680
These are two twin brothers belonging to
a lady named Florence. The children,

675
01:08:21.800 --> 01:08:27.920
when they see him, call him
a don hiera, a donjera and

676
01:08:27.960 --> 01:08:30.439
start waving at him with their hands. As I say. My grandfather knows

677
01:08:30.479 --> 01:08:35.039
that burials, funerals are times when
one has to keep quiet out of respect

678
01:08:35.119 --> 01:08:40.960
for the person who just died and
the relatives, so in a very low

679
01:08:41.000 --> 01:08:49.399
tone, he says goodbye boys he
knew them. It was strange to him

680
01:08:49.520 --> 01:08:56.600
that Florence had taken them to a
funeral, considering that these children were only

681
01:08:56.600 --> 01:08:59.960
seven years old. My grandfather is
still on his way, but he can

682
01:09:00.319 --> 01:09:04.119
' t live to think who had
died. In the nearby town, everyone

683
01:09:04.159 --> 01:09:09.399
knew each other equally. It is
not strange to him that they have not

684
01:09:09.399 --> 01:09:13.600
told him, for he is very
secretive. My grandfather' s house,

685
01:09:14.199 --> 01:09:18.520
which gives a few miles away from
the village, so Neighbors has not even

686
01:09:18.680 --> 01:09:26.920
relatively close. He lives alone,
absolutely alone in a radius of land.

687
01:09:27.720 --> 01:09:30.279
In front of his house. There
is only the road, so the days

688
01:09:30.319 --> 01:09:35.399
pass and on one occasion, when
he came back this time in time,

689
01:09:35.880 --> 01:09:41.119
still with the sun on his side, he decides to stop with the graveyard

690
01:09:41.199 --> 01:09:45.199
keeper, to whom he was the
son of a friend of his greets him

691
01:09:45.199 --> 01:09:50.119
and greets them. They start talking
and my grandfather, in all the talk,

692
01:09:50.760 --> 01:09:57.720
asks him listen and you don'
t know who died. I think

693
01:09:57.760 --> 01:10:00.920
she' s related to Florence,
since the kids who were out there wouldn

694
01:10:00.960 --> 01:10:04.399
' t have been her husband.
And my grandfather deduces this clearly, because

695
01:10:04.399 --> 01:10:11.039
the children were there and he must
have been a close relative so that Doña

696
01:10:12.119 --> 01:10:19.000
Florence would have decided to take them
to the cemetery. This boy guarding the

697
01:10:19.039 --> 01:10:26.880
cemetery tells him how he said he
saw the children of Doña Florence. My

698
01:10:26.880 --> 01:10:32.600
grandfather says yes, I saw them
playing between the graves. This boy looks

699
01:10:32.640 --> 01:10:40.439
at him in amazement and tells him
to see a doughnut that can' t

700
01:10:40.479 --> 01:10:45.039
be because the burial of those two
children was on that very day. Doña

701
01:10:45.079 --> 01:10:49.680
Florencia was here, but burying her
two children, there was an accident in

702
01:10:49.760 --> 01:10:58.600
the village and those two children lost
their lives. Doña Florencia was inconsolable as

703
01:10:58.680 --> 01:11:03.439
she entered the cemetery. You could
hear her screams They were her only two

704
01:11:03.560 --> 01:11:12.399
children and her husband too were completely
destroyed. My grandfather at the time tells

705
01:11:12.479 --> 01:11:18.039
you how not to. I saw
the twins there and the non- donor

706
01:11:18.079 --> 01:11:26.560
boy repeats. Those kids were the
same ones we buried. My grandfather at

707
01:11:26.560 --> 01:11:30.840
the moment doesn' t believe the
words the boy is saying to him,

708
01:11:30.760 --> 01:11:34.079
so my grandfather tells him to give
me a chance to enter the cemetery.

709
01:11:34.640 --> 01:11:39.279
I want to see it with my
own eyes. The boy says yes and

710
01:11:39.920 --> 01:11:45.239
they both come in. The two
walk through these tombstones and meet those two

711
01:11:45.319 --> 01:11:50.319
tombs that, in effect, had
the same names as those children, the

712
01:11:50.319 --> 01:11:59.520
years of life and the photographs on
both tombstones. My grandfather, without realizing

713
01:11:59.560 --> 01:12:06.159
it, greeted him innocently that night
on horseback, completely ignoring that those two

714
01:12:06.199 --> 01:12:13.479
children were saying the last goodbye to
him as good friends they were, since

715
01:12:13.479 --> 01:12:17.159
my grandfather, although he did not
go much to the village, every time

716
01:12:17.199 --> 01:12:24.880
he went and saw them playing with
them. They were two children who were

717
01:12:24.960 --> 01:12:30.600
very loving and without knowing it,
my grandfather said goodbye to them at their

718
01:12:30.680 --> 01:12:42.239
funeral. The following video is a
story written by me based on a legend

719
01:12:42.319 --> 01:12:45.039
that is told in the north of
the country. In the state of a

720
01:12:45.119 --> 01:12:50.359
new lion about the devil at nights
near Holy Week, that is, at

721
01:12:50.439 --> 01:12:56.880
the death of Christ, holding parties
in certain places and that, if you

722
01:12:56.960 --> 01:13:03.079
have very bad luck, you can
meet him. This story was one of

723
01:13:03.119 --> 01:13:08.199
the first to go up to the
Canal, but he doubted that any of

724
01:13:08.920 --> 01:13:13.319
you would know it because of its
limited reach. I decided to bring it

725
01:13:13.319 --> 01:13:15.840
back because, as one of my
first videos, the audio, along with

726
01:13:15.920 --> 01:13:21.000
my voice, does not turn out
to be quite as pleasant, especially if

727
01:13:21.039 --> 01:13:26.840
right now some of you would like
to hear it, you would notice a

728
01:13:26.840 --> 01:13:30.359
huge difference. So this story has
been being like an improved version of the

729
01:13:30.399 --> 01:13:35.479
previous one. I hope you enjoy
it in cryptomaniacs, as it is one

730
01:13:35.520 --> 01:13:40.520
of the stories that I liked writing
the most, so let' s just

731
01:13:40.600 --> 01:13:59.000
start with the story. I was
riding on a dirt road outside the ranch.

732
01:14:00.880 --> 01:14:02.760
I had gone to visit a relative
who lived in a nearby ejido,

733
01:14:03.840 --> 01:14:08.159
but the talk got out of hand
and I ended up leaving later than I

734
01:14:08.239 --> 01:14:13.800
had thought. It was almost evening
when I could see a storm approaching.

735
01:14:15.279 --> 01:14:19.039
It was just a matter of seeing
the sky and feeling the strong, cold

736
01:14:19.079 --> 01:14:23.960
wind blowing. It was at that
moment that I rushed my horse to be

737
01:14:24.039 --> 01:14:28.279
faster, because I didn' t
know how strong that storm could come,

738
01:14:29.199 --> 01:14:32.760
and I still needed to cross a
saw that had been scattered several times with

739
01:14:32.840 --> 01:14:38.159
the rains and strong winds of October. It was all speeding as far as

740
01:14:38.239 --> 01:14:41.159
half the way. I was stopped
by cattle made up of cows and bulls.

741
01:14:42.199 --> 01:14:46.760
These animals completely obstructed the passage.
I tried to cross several times,

742
01:14:47.039 --> 01:14:53.479
but with every attempt I made,
these animals were more aggressive, I was

743
01:14:53.520 --> 01:14:56.600
thrown over and they wanted to corn
the horse all. At the same time.

744
01:14:57.279 --> 01:15:00.039
My horse was old and I didn' t want to expose him to

745
01:15:00.039 --> 01:15:03.920
a wound like that. I would
have used my gun to scare them away,

746
01:15:04.399 --> 01:15:08.199
but I forgot. In my house
I turned back a bit to think

747
01:15:08.239 --> 01:15:12.119
about what I could do, as
the situation was not at all favorable,

748
01:15:12.439 --> 01:15:17.880
but suddenly a woman' s voice
made me turn around. It was a

749
01:15:17.960 --> 01:15:23.399
young and very beautiful girl who was
calling me this told me that the cattle

750
01:15:23.520 --> 01:15:29.119
belonged to her father and that those
cows were very wild that it was better

751
01:15:29.199 --> 01:15:32.680
not to get near me something in
a hurry. I asked her if it

752
01:15:32.800 --> 01:15:36.680
would take her father a long time
to come and move them out of the

753
01:15:36.720 --> 01:15:41.479
way so I could cross her.
He replied that that day his father was

754
01:15:41.479 --> 01:15:45.319
in the capital and that the cattle
had escaped in the morning and that,

755
01:15:45.159 --> 01:15:51.319
to my misfortune, the only one
he listened to was his father. The

756
01:15:51.439 --> 01:15:59.119
storm was approaching. I could already
feel the slight draughts of rain falling for

757
01:15:59.199 --> 01:16:00.840
this time. I' m done, I was willing to try it one

758
01:16:01.479 --> 01:16:04.640
more time, but the girl stopped
me. He told me that it would

759
01:16:04.720 --> 01:16:11.560
be of no use if I didn' t try, as I would surely

760
01:16:11.600 --> 01:16:15.960
end up with a serious wound and
much worse than at the beginning, that

761
01:16:15.960 --> 01:16:19.319
what would be better would be for
us to cover ourselves with the approaching storm,

762
01:16:19.319 --> 01:16:21.359
for and yet I managed to cross. The cattle had delayed me so

763
01:16:23.079 --> 01:16:25.479
much that it was almost a fact
that the storm would catch up with me.

764
01:16:26.199 --> 01:16:30.479
And we should also add the fact
that practically the night was going to

765
01:16:30.560 --> 01:16:33.520
fall in a few minutes. She
told me that her family had a house

766
01:16:33.600 --> 01:16:39.439
near the place and that she could
offer me an inn that night. All

767
01:16:39.560 --> 01:16:43.920
this by way of compensation because your
cattle didn' t allow me to get

768
01:16:43.960 --> 01:16:46.640
to my ranch. I accepted,
for it looked like a girl, very

769
01:16:46.680 --> 01:16:53.119
decent, well- dressed and educated. I assumed her family was just like

770
01:16:53.159 --> 01:16:57.920
her, a family with good manners. She got on her horse and I

771
01:16:57.960 --> 01:17:02.319
followed her and I no longer knew
when the rain used when in the distance

772
01:17:02.399 --> 01:17:08.079
I could see the huge house.
No doubt that family was of high status.

773
01:17:10.039 --> 01:17:14.279
We placed the horses in the stables
and entered the house that, to

774
01:17:14.319 --> 01:17:18.560
my surprise, inside this was a
party, a lot of people in suit

775
01:17:18.600 --> 01:17:26.079
and damas, in dress, accompanied
by music. One thing that I was

776
01:17:26.079 --> 01:17:30.600
curious about was that, outside of
this one, there was no parked car

777
01:17:30.640 --> 01:17:33.680
or cart. I took one of
the wines they offered me and sat on

778
01:17:33.720 --> 01:17:40.319
an armchair. This chair was very
comfortable, it should be noted on the

779
01:17:40.359 --> 01:17:45.239
edge that I was even getting sleepy
sitting there when in the distance I could

780
01:17:45.319 --> 01:17:53.319
see a man coming closer. He
was tall with white complexion and something good

781
01:17:53.319 --> 01:17:55.680
- looking. He sat next to
me on the couch and asked me if

782
01:17:55.760 --> 01:18:00.720
I was enjoying the party, to
which I replied. But of course,

783
01:18:00.960 --> 01:18:04.159
yes, it' s very nice. The atmosphere and the people are very

784
01:18:04.199 --> 01:18:10.520
friendly. Of course, without saying
the house is beautiful. The stranger began

785
01:18:10.520 --> 01:18:14.680
to look at the whole house with
his eyes as he told me the following.

786
01:18:15.239 --> 01:18:19.920
Yeah, I really like this house. That' s why I decided

787
01:18:19.960 --> 01:18:29.359
to party here. Then you own
this house. I asked her for tonight

788
01:18:29.439 --> 01:18:35.760
if she' s mine and everything
inside this one too I didn' t

789
01:18:35.800 --> 01:18:41.159
know very well what she meant by
one night, so I only answered her

790
01:18:41.199 --> 01:18:46.359
with a smile and then we continued
the conversation. Excuse me, Mr Guillermo.

791
01:18:47.239 --> 01:18:50.880
Your name is William. It'
s not like that. I nodded

792
01:18:50.920 --> 01:18:56.920
somewhat bewilderedly, for in remembering even
the girl I had brought in I had

793
01:18:56.960 --> 01:19:03.680
told her my name. You'
re a man of faith. Of course

794
01:19:03.760 --> 01:19:09.600
I do go to Mass as often
as I can, but I don'

795
01:19:09.680 --> 01:19:12.920
t carry any cross or image with
me. Right. The truth is,

796
01:19:13.079 --> 01:19:17.520
I' m not religious, but
I' ve never been attached to that

797
01:19:17.520 --> 01:19:23.720
kind of thing. I can tell
that then it is, Don Guillermo,

798
01:19:23.880 --> 01:19:29.680
you believe that evil is a matter
of fiction, not just as I believe

799
01:19:29.760 --> 01:19:33.720
witchcraft and other things are more for
people susceptible of mind. In part you

800
01:19:33.840 --> 01:19:40.000
are right, but I also want
you to pay attention to your day-

801
01:19:40.199 --> 01:19:45.520
to- day life, you will
see that, even though everything points to

802
01:19:45.600 --> 01:19:50.039
a bad decision, you are so
foolish that you don' t even see

803
01:19:50.039 --> 01:19:53.600
it coming with that calculating and methodical
brain you claim to have. But what

804
01:19:53.680 --> 01:19:58.600
do you mean? Sir, all
I' m saying is that cattle from

805
01:19:58.600 --> 01:20:03.680
cows in the middle of a dirt
road at the foot of the mountain range

806
01:20:03.760 --> 01:20:06.720
is very convenient for stopping a cowboy. If you start thinking around here,

807
01:20:06.840 --> 01:20:13.760
there' s no location. Also, a beautiful girl who goes alone and

808
01:20:13.880 --> 01:20:18.079
invites him to a house where he
will be welcomed all night. That sounds

809
01:20:18.119 --> 01:20:21.720
kind of weird or really good.
To be true, you don' t

810
01:20:21.720 --> 01:20:28.439
believe it. And just as so
abruptly came the guy also left, he

811
01:20:28.600 --> 01:20:33.520
got up and walked away without saying
anything. A chill ran all over my

812
01:20:33.520 --> 01:20:39.920
body. I started to feel bad, like everything was going around in this

813
01:20:39.960 --> 01:20:45.159
time. I started listening to cow
wets also sounds like hoofs in the crowd.

814
01:20:45.840 --> 01:20:51.239
People' s laughter was pretty weird. It was like he was with

815
01:20:51.239 --> 01:20:56.720
animals. It was at this point
that I turned to see my glass of

816
01:20:56.720 --> 01:21:01.520
wine. What I was drinking wasn' t wine. This thing was red,

817
01:21:01.600 --> 01:21:08.119
but with lumps as if it were
spoiled milk. I could no longer

818
01:21:08.159 --> 01:21:11.920
endure the disgust and vomited on the
floor, something I regret having done,

819
01:21:12.359 --> 01:21:17.680
for having my head down I could
see the feet of the guests, which

820
01:21:17.960 --> 01:21:25.239
were not the feet of a human, but were hooves like cows. I

821
01:21:25.319 --> 01:21:29.840
got up from the furniture and ran
to the nearest door I found. For

822
01:21:29.920 --> 01:21:34.079
my bad luck, it was a
closet in which I found the skins of

823
01:21:34.119 --> 01:21:40.640
the cows and the bulls that had
blocked my way. They were hanging on

824
01:21:40.760 --> 01:21:47.199
the hooks as if these things were
clothes, although they looked rather like costumes,

825
01:21:47.439 --> 01:21:54.880
bizarre costumes from which blood was shed. Without a doubt, it was

826
01:21:55.000 --> 01:22:00.680
more than clear to me that they
were real piles, some of them were

827
01:22:00.720 --> 01:22:05.439
hanging, while others were stacked on
the floor. She panicked, came out

828
01:22:05.479 --> 01:22:11.520
of the closet and ran full speed
to the exit. All this while listening

829
01:22:11.600 --> 01:22:15.720
to tassels and cow sounds. When
I looked up, I could see that

830
01:22:15.760 --> 01:22:20.920
all the guests had been horned out
and when they laughed, a long tongue

831
01:22:21.079 --> 01:22:29.159
came out of their mouths. This
tongue was so long that it even fell

832
01:22:29.199 --> 01:22:33.079
to his throat. I went out
of bed and ran in the middle of

833
01:22:33.159 --> 01:22:38.520
the storm until I could get my
horse. I rode in a hurry until

834
01:22:38.520 --> 01:22:42.079
I got to the ranch. When
I arrived my family told me that I

835
01:22:43.000 --> 01:22:45.880
was pale and that I didn'
t look good at all, so they

836
01:22:45.960 --> 01:22:51.760
started giving me several remedies for this
they swept me and other things by the

837
01:22:51.760 --> 01:22:56.079
time I got back to my speech, I told my brother- in-

838
01:22:56.359 --> 01:22:58.760
law everything about what had happened to
me that night. He told me that

839
01:22:58.840 --> 01:23:03.119
on that road there was no inn
or house with the characteristics that I indicated

840
01:23:03.119 --> 01:23:10.960
to him, but rather there was
an ancient church in ruins where previously black

841
01:23:11.159 --> 01:23:17.079
masses and sacrifices were practiced. For
that of the eighties I have sworn,

842
01:23:17.159 --> 01:23:20.840
so that remains of my life not
to go through that road again now,

843
01:23:23.159 --> 01:23:27.439
every time I have to leave the
ranch, I prefer to do it along

844
01:23:27.439 --> 01:23:31.840
the road, although this afternoon I
do not want to meet that inn much

845
01:23:32.680 --> 01:23:39.279
less in storm. I' m
not going to be having a party again.

846
01:23:51.159 --> 01:23:55.760
This time I have another experience to
tell. I' m pretty sure

847
01:23:55.800 --> 01:24:00.479
you' ll remember the stories of
my grandfather, who I shared a lot

848
01:24:00.479 --> 01:24:03.279
on this channel with Mounted Police.
Recently, one of my aunts shared with

849
01:24:03.479 --> 01:24:08.560
me an experience that happened to her
by my grandfather during those years, of

850
01:24:08.600 --> 01:24:13.319
which I had not heard. I
found it extremely interesting, so I decided

851
01:24:13.359 --> 01:24:15.840
to share them with you on this
occasion. It is said that my grandfather

852
01:24:15.880 --> 01:24:20.159
for those years had a friend whose
name was Julio Olivares. He was a

853
01:24:20.199 --> 01:24:26.319
well- known man in the village, though rather called the hunter of Fortuna.

854
01:24:27.399 --> 01:24:30.000
The reason was easy to explain.
Julio was a man who told you

855
01:24:30.039 --> 01:24:35.359
the story at that time, at
just thirty years old and at that age

856
01:24:35.399 --> 01:24:41.960
he had already had two different wives
with a lot of wealth, that is,

857
01:24:42.520 --> 01:24:46.119
they were older ladies at his age
and with many lands and businesses in

858
01:24:46.239 --> 01:24:48.720
their names to no one. It
was a surprise that Julio sought them for

859
01:24:48.800 --> 01:24:53.800
his fortune, for it is said
that he was a good- looking man

860
01:24:53.800 --> 01:24:58.760
and with the gift of the word, so he easily made them fall at

861
01:24:58.760 --> 01:25:02.479
his feet And, above all,
these two women with whom he was with

862
01:25:02.520 --> 01:25:06.760
were widows, which made it even
easier. What was strange was that,

863
01:25:06.840 --> 01:25:12.039
when she married the first, only
two years later, the woman died due

864
01:25:12.079 --> 01:25:17.520
to a heart attack. That woman
was about fifty- sixty years old.

865
01:25:17.680 --> 01:25:24.359
He says they issued, but luckily
or very conveniently, all his inheritance had

866
01:25:24.359 --> 01:25:29.000
been left to Julio. Because of
this he began to joke about how he

867
01:25:29.119 --> 01:25:31.359
had taken care of the lady to
leave all the money and that sort of

868
01:25:31.399 --> 01:25:38.000
thing. Deep down, everyone thought
it was a simple coincidence, but only

869
01:25:38.000 --> 01:25:43.720
this man spent a single year until
he was seen in the company of another

870
01:25:43.720 --> 01:25:47.680
widow in the village, in the
same way, with many lands and much

871
01:25:47.800 --> 01:25:54.760
power. It quickly became known that
the two had an affair, but on

872
01:25:54.800 --> 01:25:59.840
this occasion it resulted in a scandal
greater than the past affair, for life

873
01:26:00.119 --> 01:26:03.920
was between seventy and five to eighty
years of age. They married very quickly

874
01:26:03.960 --> 01:26:10.079
after a year and the following year
the woman died and likewise, surprising the

875
01:26:10.119 --> 01:26:15.840
whole town and part of the woman' s family. In the will he

876
01:26:15.840 --> 01:26:19.840
had left him almost all his possessions
and lands, thus increasing Julio' s

877
01:26:19.920 --> 01:26:26.119
wealth. However, in the village
several stories and gossips began to spread around

878
01:26:26.239 --> 01:26:31.399
the man, some ridiculous and others
not so much, but the one that

879
01:26:31.520 --> 01:26:36.359
was most said in the village was
that he had been responsible for the deaths

880
01:26:36.479 --> 01:26:44.039
of his wives so as to keep
the fortune of both. Obviously, after

881
01:26:44.039 --> 01:26:47.439
keeping both fortunes, Julio was the
most wealthy man in the village and probably

882
01:26:47.520 --> 01:26:53.680
also in the region. He went
on with his affairs, with other girls,

883
01:26:54.359 --> 01:26:58.560
but none of them came seriously with
him, because it was said that

884
01:26:58.640 --> 01:27:01.520
marrying Julio was how to sign your
death sentence. All this came to the

885
01:27:01.560 --> 01:27:05.680
ears of Julio himself, who,
perhaps for being depressed in that, began

886
01:27:05.760 --> 01:27:11.399
to dig deeper and deeper into his
home. To the degree that he only

887
01:27:11.479 --> 01:27:15.000
went out for the groceries and checked
one after another business, and so he

888
01:27:15.000 --> 01:27:19.079
held on. He and my grandfather
during adolescence were very good friends, so

889
01:27:19.960 --> 01:27:25.600
as time passed, my grandfather decided
to visit him. And this is where

890
01:27:25.680 --> 01:27:30.560
your story begins. It turns out
that my grandfather, the day after his

891
01:27:30.560 --> 01:27:32.239
work, made the decision to go
visit Julio at his house, which was

892
01:27:32.279 --> 01:27:36.159
outside the village, since he owned
his own estate and this was huge.

893
01:27:40.079 --> 01:27:44.239
It took my grandfather a few minutes
for him to get out and he even

894
01:27:44.319 --> 01:27:47.920
thought he had moved, as no
one would answer him back until Julio finally

895
01:27:48.039 --> 01:27:53.880
left. He says he was in
a very bad state. It was evident

896
01:27:53.920 --> 01:27:59.960
that he did not maintain his personal
hygiene or anything at first behaved something reserved,

897
01:28:00.279 --> 01:28:04.600
but as the conversation progressed, Julio
revealed something to my grandfather, and

898
01:28:04.640 --> 01:28:10.000
it is that Julio said to see
his wives outside the farm, whenever he

899
01:28:10.079 --> 01:28:14.399
tried to get out he saw them. They followed him wherever he went in

900
01:28:14.479 --> 01:28:18.199
the village, making it consistent that
leaving the estate became basically psychological torture.

901
01:28:21.760 --> 01:28:28.880
No one could see them alone.
This had become quite clear to him when

902
01:28:28.920 --> 01:28:30.960
he had a panic attack in the
middle of the market. My grandfather at

903
01:28:31.000 --> 01:28:36.520
that time was young, he was
in his twenties and he was not superstitious

904
01:28:38.560 --> 01:28:43.119
at all so he initially thought that
his friend was losing his sanity. But

905
01:28:43.159 --> 01:28:47.000
I still didn' t want to
leave him alone so he tried to visit

906
01:28:47.079 --> 01:28:51.119
him at least twice a week.
It should be noted that every time my

907
01:28:51.159 --> 01:28:56.960
grandfather went to Julio' s house
he never entered. All his conversations took

908
01:28:57.039 --> 01:29:02.199
place outside in the courtyard. With
every passing day, Julio was increasingly emaciated.

909
01:29:04.760 --> 01:29:09.000
My grandfather tried to talk to him
many times to get help, but

910
01:29:09.960 --> 01:29:14.800
he never got it. And among
all those times he visited him, he

911
01:29:14.880 --> 01:29:18.680
once asked him what exactly had happened
to his widows and also what he thought

912
01:29:18.760 --> 01:29:24.600
of the rumors that were said in
his village. Even though my grandfather thought

913
01:29:24.640 --> 01:29:28.800
that this would result in a moment
to mock the nonsense that was said in

914
01:29:28.840 --> 01:29:32.960
the village, this did not turn
out as he thought, as Julio remained

915
01:29:33.000 --> 01:29:39.279
silent and began to tremble. He
told her he had enough punishment with his

916
01:29:39.319 --> 01:29:43.720
wives to talk about what was said
in the village. Every time my grandfather

917
01:29:43.760 --> 01:29:48.359
touched on that subject, Julio tried
to evade it somehow and when he insisted

918
01:29:48.399 --> 01:29:53.920
on it he got upset. That' s when, little by little,

919
01:29:54.159 --> 01:29:58.520
my grandfather stopped mentioning it. But
this didn' t last long, as

920
01:29:58.600 --> 01:30:00.920
one afternoon my grandfather was arriving at
Julio' s house and he realized that

921
01:30:01.039 --> 01:30:08.520
there were many people and even colleagues
from the police department. As he approached

922
01:30:08.600 --> 01:30:15.199
and asked what had happened, he
was told that Julio had died. My

923
01:30:15.239 --> 01:30:18.560
grandfather at first could not believe it, for only two days before he had

924
01:30:18.640 --> 01:30:24.000
visited him, although his appearance,
as I said earlier, was very alarming.

925
01:30:24.880 --> 01:30:28.760
My grandfather never thought I was going
to die. But this was not

926
01:30:28.880 --> 01:30:31.600
the worst of what my grandfather found
out, but the worst came after learning

927
01:30:31.640 --> 01:30:39.520
the facts about how the July corpse
had been discovered. It turns out that

928
01:30:39.560 --> 01:30:44.279
in the morning his caretaker, the
head of the employees who managed his lands

929
01:30:44.319 --> 01:30:48.560
and businesses in which he traded,
went to visit him, because he had

930
01:30:48.600 --> 01:30:54.079
about a month of not showing up
with his workers, so the payment dates

931
01:30:54.199 --> 01:30:57.359
were close and he had gone for
the money. When he arrived and called,

932
01:30:58.159 --> 01:31:00.640
no one answered him, so he
looked out of one of the windows

933
01:31:00.680 --> 01:31:08.199
and decided to open it. In
doing so, the smell of the plague

934
01:31:08.279 --> 01:31:13.399
was introduced through his nose that even
made him vomit. The smell was the

935
01:31:13.520 --> 01:31:16.960
product of Julio' s body,
which rested inertly on the floor of his

936
01:31:16.960 --> 01:31:21.680
room. When he was taken out, the diagnosis was given. The body

937
01:31:21.760 --> 01:31:28.359
was inadvanced state of decomposition, as
it was with three and a half weeks

938
01:31:28.399 --> 01:31:32.800
in that state within the house.
Julio had died almost a month at home

939
01:31:32.840 --> 01:31:38.720
and no one had noticed. My
grandfather. Knowing this, for obvious reasons,

940
01:31:39.199 --> 01:31:42.960
he began to be frightened and upset, remembering very well that he had

941
01:31:43.000 --> 01:31:47.079
spoken to him just two days ago. During that day he couldn' t

942
01:31:47.199 --> 01:31:51.720
think of anything other than his friend. But unfortunately, it had to do

943
01:31:51.760 --> 01:31:57.359
with the obligation to go back to
that house. And it is that the

944
01:31:57.479 --> 01:32:00.920
property had not been left with a
owner, since there was no will this

945
01:32:00.000 --> 01:32:04.000
time, so the mounted police had
to take care of the July properties until

946
01:32:04.079 --> 01:32:09.319
they knew what was going to be
done. Unfortunately, for my father,

947
01:32:10.680 --> 01:32:13.880
he had to go and watch the
estate, where he tried to visit his

948
01:32:13.920 --> 01:32:17.880
friend in the same place where he
had died. It wasn' t an

949
01:32:17.880 --> 01:32:23.439
easy task, but he decided to
give priority to his work than to anything

950
01:32:23.479 --> 01:32:28.239
else, so he went to watch
the estate in the company of another policeman

951
01:32:28.239 --> 01:32:30.880
during the night. At the beginning
of the night he spent it in the

952
01:32:30.920 --> 01:32:34.399
company of his companion, but for
obvious reasons he had to be watched taking

953
01:32:34.479 --> 01:32:39.920
a tour of the different ends of
the estate and for that they had to

954
01:32:39.920 --> 01:32:44.359
be separated. My grandfather did the
same in his designated place, but,

955
01:32:44.439 --> 01:32:48.199
however, he could not help but
look at that house, perhaps out of

956
01:32:48.279 --> 01:32:53.439
fear or melancholy, but he could
not stop doing so. In one of

957
01:32:53.479 --> 01:32:58.159
those many times that he looked towards
that house, he saw that from inside

958
01:32:58.920 --> 01:33:03.560
it was someone watching him and once
his eyes got used to the light and

959
01:33:03.600 --> 01:33:09.680
the blackness of the night, he
could see it was Julio. From one

960
01:33:09.720 --> 01:33:15.840
of his windows on his face,
sadness prevailed as if he were inside his

961
01:33:15.920 --> 01:33:20.640
own house without the right to eternal
rest. This is explained by my grandfather.

962
01:33:21.600 --> 01:33:25.279
The next day. My grandfather decided
that, for his own good,

963
01:33:26.000 --> 01:33:30.520
it would be best to change places, so it was no longer that farm

964
01:33:30.720 --> 01:33:33.920
that left him with his life.
However, he never stopped thinking about what

965
01:33:34.000 --> 01:33:39.079
had happened to him by his friend
and why he was still inside the house,

966
01:33:39.239 --> 01:33:44.399
why he did not rest. My
grandfather believed and to this day he

967
01:33:44.479 --> 01:33:48.399
still believes that what was said in
the village, perhaps in a mocking or

968
01:33:48.439 --> 01:33:56.079
exaggerated way, perhaps it was true, Perhaps his friend' s ambition was

969
01:33:56.079 --> 01:33:59.359
much that he did not mind staining
his hands with trying to get what he

970
01:33:59.439 --> 01:34:03.680
wanted. Or my aunt tells me
that one night my grandfather told her that

971
01:34:03.720 --> 01:34:12.119
maybe God would punish the greedy by
locking them in their luxurious homes surrounded by

972
01:34:12.199 --> 01:34:16.079
all their things. For who knows
how long I hope this story has been

973
01:34:16.199 --> 01:34:20.199
of sogradation and it is always a
pleasure to share it in our experiences.

974
01:34:32.199 --> 01:34:36.880
The next experience I want to tell
you anyway comes from my grandfather in his

975
01:34:36.920 --> 01:34:43.439
riding cop days. This happens a
few years before you retire. At that

976
01:34:43.520 --> 01:34:46.239
time, he was one of the
oldest and most experienced of the station,

977
01:34:47.159 --> 01:34:50.399
so they almost always came to him
when something was out of control, because

978
01:34:51.319 --> 01:34:58.359
he had been in so many situations
that he knew how to react to almost

979
01:34:58.359 --> 01:35:00.560
all that afternoon. It was this
very reason that made him live this experience.

980
01:35:01.920 --> 01:35:05.640
He was even on his day off, when a policeman did not fight

981
01:35:05.800 --> 01:35:11.399
came home. He was a boy
of barely twenty, with whom my grandfather

982
01:35:11.399 --> 01:35:16.399
had developed a very good friendship,
his name was Victor and he was very

983
01:35:16.520 --> 01:35:21.920
attached to my grandfather. When he
arrived, he was very alarmed. He

984
01:35:21.960 --> 01:35:25.960
took my grandfather out of his house
to tell him, since he didn'

985
01:35:26.000 --> 01:35:29.520
t want anyone to know. In
doing so, he tried to calm down

986
01:35:29.560 --> 01:35:33.960
and told him in a very low
tone that in self- defense he had

987
01:35:34.039 --> 01:35:39.079
detonated the weapon against someone. My
grandfather says he believed him right away,

988
01:35:39.239 --> 01:35:45.239
as he was practically shaking. He
was missing three bullets when he checked his

989
01:35:45.239 --> 01:35:48.720
revolver. My grandfather took his horse
and accompanied Victor as far as he was

990
01:35:48.720 --> 01:35:53.560
supposed to have left that person along
the way. Victor told him that this

991
01:35:53.600 --> 01:35:58.600
person was a woman who was taking
the horseback riding near the stream that surrounds

992
01:35:58.760 --> 01:36:04.159
a huge well in which several families
were going to draw water. He says

993
01:36:04.239 --> 01:36:09.920
the woman was turning her back towards
the well, so he thought he was

994
01:36:09.960 --> 01:36:15.079
pulling water out of it, so
he continued his way. Because of the

995
01:36:15.199 --> 01:36:20.000
darkness of the night. Not all
after a time when the woman was not

996
01:36:20.079 --> 01:36:25.359
alone, but she had a child
by her side, which she held from

997
01:36:26.319 --> 01:36:30.800
one of her shoulders and put into
the well abruptly as she wept, Victor

998
01:36:30.960 --> 01:36:36.359
drew the gun and told her to
leave it. The woman turned and looked

999
01:36:36.399 --> 01:36:42.840
at him. He says that his
eyes were white and only a few seconds

1000
01:36:42.880 --> 01:36:46.720
passed before the woman let go of
the child and that he fell to the

1001
01:36:46.800 --> 01:36:50.880
victor' s bottom by not knowing
how to react to what was happening,

1002
01:36:51.359 --> 01:36:56.439
closed his eyes and detonated the weapon. Three times later he opened them and

1003
01:36:56.479 --> 01:36:59.199
at that moment he took a surprise, because I didn' t see the

1004
01:36:59.199 --> 01:37:02.319
body. Terror seized him and ran
out to tell my grandfather when they reached

1005
01:37:02.319 --> 01:37:09.800
the pit. Similarly, as much
as they searched for the body, they

1006
01:37:09.840 --> 01:37:14.920
didn' t find it until my
grandfather decided to use his lamp and peek

1007
01:37:14.920 --> 01:37:18.319
into the moat. When he did, he discovered that the woman' s

1008
01:37:18.319 --> 01:37:23.159
body was inside it. Floating couldn' t leave her in that place.

1009
01:37:23.880 --> 01:37:27.399
They had to take it out and
see what could be done. My grandfather

1010
01:37:27.479 --> 01:37:30.000
relates that they went for a rioata, which is the rope with which they

1011
01:37:30.039 --> 01:37:35.640
hold the horses and cows. When
they returned to remove the body, they

1012
01:37:35.680 --> 01:37:43.199
realized that it was no longer found. The well was empty desperate, believing

1013
01:37:43.239 --> 01:37:46.119
that someone had taken it out.
They began to search the surroundings and nearby

1014
01:37:46.199 --> 01:37:54.159
roads, but when they returned to
the well they took another surprise, as

1015
01:37:54.279 --> 01:37:59.159
the woman was now standing on one
side of the well watching them once they

1016
01:38:00.039 --> 01:38:03.119
appeared as if she were waiting for
them. My grandfather stopped right away and

1017
01:38:03.199 --> 01:38:10.920
Victor followed him. They both looked
at the woman and my grandfather relates that

1018
01:38:10.920 --> 01:38:14.760
right away. He knew it was
the crybaby. It wasn' t the

1019
01:38:14.800 --> 01:38:17.159
first time I saw these people,
so he told Victor to leave that thing

1020
01:38:17.159 --> 01:38:26.319
wasn' t a woman, but
a spectre. But at that moment the

1021
01:38:26.399 --> 01:38:31.079
woman began to cry, to cry
in a heartbreaking way. Another reason to

1022
01:38:31.119 --> 01:38:35.439
leave that place immediately, as the
crybaby is said to drag people to drown

1023
01:38:35.520 --> 01:38:41.680
them, either in a river or, as in this case, in a

1024
01:38:41.720 --> 01:38:46.319
well. The two of them turned
around with their horses and left the place

1025
01:38:46.399 --> 01:38:53.520
all galloping as they kept listening to
the cry of what my grandfather says was

1026
01:38:54.159 --> 01:38:54.640
the cry.
