ALMAS EN PENA, El Llanto De Un Bebé En El Cementerio Historias De Terror - REDE

00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:12.839
Note from Adriana Cuevas. There are
many stories and testimonies about the existence of

2
00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:17.239
souls in distress. Beings who,
for some personal cause, roam in a

3
00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:24.160
state of suffering, anger, discontent, or perhaps some unresolved matter. They

4
00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:28.879
are spirits who have not found peace
after death. With the advancement of technology,

5
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:35.000
it has been possible to capture these
paranormal phenomena in different ways, whether

6
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:40.240
with movement of objects, without anyone
being close as ethereal figures that are seen

7
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:48.240
as fogish appearances in mirrors or reflections
in crystals. Perhaps you can say that

8
00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:53.719
nothing has ever happened to you,
but those souls are closer than you imagine.

9
00:00:55.840 --> 00:01:06.200
We just started soul in sorrow.
Pantheons have always caught my attention.

10
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:11.159
Since I was little, my mother
took me to her parents' grave to

11
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:17.480
fix it with a certain frequency,
my mother was in charge of cleaning the

12
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:22.319
tombstone sweep around the tomb, throwing
the dried flowers and replacing them with new

13
00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:26.120
ones, as well as putting clean
water on them, so I had a

14
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:30.319
special affection for that somber place.
While she was doing the cleaning work,

15
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:36.159
I was working on plucking the herbs
that were born around my grandparents' grave.

16
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:41.560
It was a custom my mother inherited
from me. She said it was

17
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:46.480
a way to honor the memory of
our deceased beings. The affection was shown

18
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:51.799
until after the death in the house
that was my grandparents lived my mom and

19
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:55.920
I. She was a single mother, so I never met my father.

20
00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:00.959
In the cemetery where my grandparents were
buried was in the pantheon of Mezquitan,

21
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:07.560
which was divided into two sections.
The tomb was in the second section after

22
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:14.719
Avenida Enrique Díaz de León. Currently
there are no spaces available for sale,

23
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:20.039
unless some owner decides to remove the
remains of his deceased and put the tomb

24
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:25.039
on sale by my mother. She
had two brothers who had gone to work

25
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:30.039
in the United States. We saw
them infrequently they had already married in that

26
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:36.240
country and had formed their families.
My mother' s two brothers told her

27
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:40.240
that she could keep the house,
as they had no intention of returning to

28
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:46.080
Mexico, so everything that belonged to
my grandparents was left to my mother.

29
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:53.599
It was the way they found themselves
to support her, because she only had

30
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:59.000
her parents and me. I have
a vague memory of when my grandparents died,

31
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:04.080
first of all my father became ill. It was the way I had

32
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:09.360
to tell Grandpa, since he was
my father figure. He was the first

33
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:15.240
to die. Two years later,
my grandmother died of cardiac arrest. It

34
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:19.960
was painful to stay alone in a
large house, but over time we adapted.

35
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:23.719
At first, my mom was the
one who went out every day to

36
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:29.319
work to get the two of my
two uncles living on the other side,

37
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:34.800
sent money for my grandparents' maintenance, but when they died, the support

38
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:42.479
ended. After I studied a technical
career, I went to work and asked

39
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:47.000
my mom to stay home. She
did, but she kept selling food in

40
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:53.439
the garage. She was telling me
she couldn' t just do anything,

41
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:57.879
so with what she earned at home
and what I got at work, we

42
00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:03.280
lived well. I worked as a
secretary in a law firm. To get

43
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:09.400
to the offices he took public transport. It lasted about 45 minutes to get

44
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:15.120
to the workplace. I liked the
route of the truck I was taking because

45
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:18.720
every day I went through Mezquitan'
s pantheon. In a way, I

46
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:24.399
kept my grandparents' memory alive.
Anyway, every weekend my mother and I

47
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:30.680
went to visit them. I remember
starting to notice my mom getting better.

48
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:34.360
In a month she lost weight very
quickly and noticed her very tired. In

49
00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:40.399
a short time, his physique and
mind began to wreak havoc. He noticed

50
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:46.120
it because in such insignificant details he
was wrong, as when he left the

51
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:50.680
stove light on for longer. I
started to notice a burning smell. When

52
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:56.560
I got out of my room,
the food was burned. Another time I

53
00:04:56.600 --> 00:05:00.360
got back from work. I saw
the lights on all over the house,

54
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:05.000
as well as the door open.
I looked inside for her without being able

55
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:09.879
to find her. I was already
going to look for her when I saw

56
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:14.800
her coming she greeted me with a
smile without realizing that I had forgotten to

57
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:17.279
close the door and turn off the
lights. He only told me that he

58
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:23.439
had gone for a while for a
walk, but he got confused with the

59
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:27.279
streets and took longer than he thought. Without waiting any longer, I scheduled

60
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:30.600
an appointment with the doctor who attended
my grandparents. Ever since the doctor saw

61
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:34.720
her, he didn' t like
my mom' s extreme thinness, as

62
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:41.199
he knew her for many years immediately, sent her to do the relevant studies

63
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:46.199
and the diagnosis was overwhelming. My
mom had cancer because of that in such

64
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:50.480
a short time she lost weight.
Since we had the results and the doctor

65
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:57.439
' s opinion, she started walking
through the hospital in and out sometimes for

66
00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:01.480
a day or two, but there
were times when she was put in for

67
00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:08.319
a week at work. I was
very patient, I was given the required

68
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:14.199
permissions as long as I fulfilled my
responsibilities. It was a difficult time because

69
00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:18.040
I didn' t have a close
family support network, although my uncles helped

70
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:21.959
me pay for a nurse to take
care of her the days I wasn'

71
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:27.399
t able to take care of her. The disease process lasted more than a

72
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:30.800
year, between high and low of
my mother, until the last day of

73
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:38.000
July, my mother died in the
morning. It may be hard to say,

74
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:43.680
but by that time I already preferred
that she rest only from seeing her

75
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:46.480
as she suffered from the pain.
I didn' t want to see her

76
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:49.360
suffer so much anymore. I can' t deny that his death hurt me

77
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:54.920
very much, as he was my
only close relative. On the day of

78
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:59.319
his funeral, I felt like it
wasn' t me. I had my

79
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:04.079
conscience asleep and I didn' t
realize what was really going on in the

80
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:10.160
wake- up chapel. I was
absent as if trying to think that wasn

81
00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:15.959
' t happening to me. My
uncles came from the United States, but

82
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:20.839
they stayed a few days because their
work commitments didn' t allow them to

83
00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:25.800
stay any longer. In the cemetery
we were accompanied by the people who knew

84
00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:30.439
my mother, as well as some
friends of my work. It was a

85
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:35.279
long and painful farewell. While I
saw the way my mom' s coffin

86
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:39.360
was being introduced, I couldn'
t think of anything. I don'

87
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:43.120
t know why I got distracted by
another one of the graves that were nearby.

88
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:46.120
I saw a woman doing the same
ritual as my mother and I were

89
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:51.439
doing when we were going to clean
my grandparents' grave, I watched everything

90
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:58.959
the unknown woman did. I think
I wanted to relive those moments with my

91
00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:03.000
mom and stay on nothing at that
time, although it was a matter of

92
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:09.439
cleaning a tomb where my grandparents lay, which I so much wanted was a

93
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:13.560
way to keep my mom together and
that memory I wanted to preserve forever.

94
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:18.160
One of my uncles moved me by
telling me I could give my mother the

95
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:24.079
last words. We still stayed a
while longer in the cemetery, because one

96
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:26.800
of my mom' s friends who
went with her every day to Mass wanted

97
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:31.840
to pray the rosary. I didn' t want to be there any longer,

98
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:37.480
but I stayed out of respect for
the lady For as long as we

99
00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:39.759
were there, I couldn' t
stop seeing that woman in the grave.

100
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:45.159
I never understood why, in those
difficult times, I was distracted by something

101
00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:50.799
so simple. I was not even
repeating each of the prayers in a moment

102
00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:56.240
when I was distracted by turning to
that tomb, the woman was no longer

103
00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:00.000
there. It was hard to get
to my house and find it empty.

104
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:05.039
I knew I had to get used
to being without her, but I couldn

105
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:09.039
' t get over it soon.
My uncles stayed with me for a few

106
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:15.879
days to keep me company and support
me in my mourning, but to me

107
00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:20.159
they meant little known people, as
I saw them very little, although they

108
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:26.279
behaved with great familiarity and attention.
Those days when they were with me somehow.

109
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:30.559
I was able to cope with my
mom' s absence. When my

110
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:33.960
uncles left, all the weight of
loneliness fell on me During the nights I

111
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:39.399
couldn' t sleep myself. I
was asleep the first few hours of the

112
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:43.559
night, but from two or three
in the morning, the dream was leaving

113
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:48.559
me to try to accept the loss
of my mother. There were times when

114
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:52.480
I left the house very early and
arrived at the cemetery, but there were

115
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:56.440
days when I didn' t open
it in time and left without seeing it.

116
00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:01.240
That' s why I preferred to
stay in the cemetery after work,

117
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:07.799
although sometimes it was complicated because I
had to finish all my earrings and when

118
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:13.080
I was passing by I was already
closed the days that I didn' t

119
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:18.960
have any problems were Saturdays and Sundays, so I spent some time of the

120
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:20.600
day being there and it was not
easy to accept their loss. In one

121
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:24.759
of the times I went to my
mother’ s grave, I did not

122
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:30.879
see that woman who was often close
with great curiosity I approached the tomb to

123
00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:35.320
see who it was. On the
tombstone was inscribed the name of angel A

124
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:41.600
Mendez. He had a legend that
said we will always remember them with great

125
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:43.600
affection they will be together until eternity. It was a very peculiar phrase,

126
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:48.679
since it was not a single person
to whom he died, but two.

127
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:54.879
It was marked as the date of
birth and death one thousand nine hundred and

128
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:58.799
twenty- one to one thousand nine
hundred and forty- two, so the

129
00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:00.879
woman died very young twenty- one
years old. I was looking at the

130
00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:03.480
tomb, which was also very clean
and well- kept, despite the years

131
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:07.799
that had already passed. Suddenly I
heard the crying of a baby I heard

132
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:13.480
it far away. I turned around
hoping to find the mother with her son,

133
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:18.360
but there was no one around and
it was normal for the cemetery to

134
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:24.639
be alone was Sunday morning. The
night watchman had just opened it. When

135
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:28.639
I got there, I walked away
from the grave a little strange. I

136
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:33.600
didn' t know where that crying
came from, which in a few minutes

137
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:35.919
stopped listening. I went back to
my mother' s grave. I sat

138
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:41.440
on the slab very close to his
grave. There was a leafy tree that

139
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:46.039
provided a great shade. It might
seem a little strange, but I felt

140
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:50.399
comfortable in that desolate and quiet place. Only in that place did she find

141
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:56.519
some peace and quiet that she had
lost since the day she died. In

142
00:11:56.600 --> 00:12:00.840
those thoughts, I didn' t
realize. When the woman who visited the

143
00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:05.759
tomb that I had seen arrived almost
every day, I sat at the discretion

144
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:11.679
of observing what she was doing.
He cleaned the place with meticulous care and

145
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:18.240
then made a prayer. I assumed
it because he was putting his hands together

146
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:20.279
to prepare himself to pray from the
place where he was. He couldn'

147
00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:26.000
t hear what he was praying right
away, deposited a toy, and left

148
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:31.039
after he left I came to see
what he left on the slab. It

149
00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:35.559
was a small red car that made
it very strange for me to put on

150
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:39.360
a toy, since the buried person
was a woman, to prevent other people

151
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:43.639
from taking the gift. I hid
it behind the tombstone, as on other

152
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:50.200
occasions I had noticed that there were
people coming and picking something up, even

153
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:56.120
though I hadn' t paid as
much attention to it that day, and

154
00:12:56.159 --> 00:13:01.240
I assumed that some people would take
the toy home, because when I was

155
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:03.519
in that woman' s grave I
didn' t see anything around. Again

156
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:09.759
I began to hear the baby crying. It was funny that he heard it

157
00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:13.399
without seeing anyone around. I walked
around to try and find out where a

158
00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:18.480
mother was with her son, but
again I didn' t find them.

159
00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:24.159
The crying was not annoying because it
was heard far away. I even thought

160
00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:28.600
that maybe on the other side of
the cemetery fence on the sidewalk, some

161
00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:33.360
woman was passing by with her son. It was the only logical explanation I

162
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:39.399
found. When the sun changed position
and the shade of the tree was no

163
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:43.799
longer enough not to feel warm,
I said goodbye to my mother and my

164
00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:48.600
grandparents with the promise that the next
day I would be with them again.

165
00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:52.720
I went back through the stranger'
s grave. I looked to see if

166
00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:58.360
the little red toy was still there, but there was nothing. I started

167
00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:01.919
looking for him, and I was
sure I left him behind the tombstone.

168
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:09.240
I stayed for a few minutes trying
to understand what happened, but I couldn

169
00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:11.840
' t. I left the cemetery
without knowing what was going on. At

170
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:16.759
night it was the hardest thing of
the day. Very often I woke up

171
00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:24.440
feeling a desolation that was hard to
explain. Suddenly the baby' s crying

172
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:28.559
was heard. I didn' t
know what was going on or why I

173
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:33.600
was listening. I was awake until
dawn without knowing where the crying came from.

174
00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:37.480
Upon arriving at the office, one
of my co- workers noticed me

175
00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:43.399
with shiners and tired. I told
him what was going on in the cemetery

176
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:48.159
and the tomb, where that woman
also went with the same frequency as I

177
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:52.559
did. I never thought my friend
would take it in another way, because

178
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:58.559
she thought it was all because I
was affected by my mother' s death,

179
00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:03.600
it was true, but not the
way she suspected, because she made

180
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:09.240
an appointment with a tanatologist who is
the grief specialist. If it was okay

181
00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:13.600
to go to therapy with her,
even though I didn' t think I

182
00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:18.919
was going to remove the doubts I
had about Angela' s grave. I

183
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:22.720
went to the specialist when I told
her all the details I' d seen.

184
00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:28.679
She suggested that I go to the
psychiatrist to prescribe medication for depression and

185
00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:35.799
schizophrenia, that is, she thought
my problem was mental. I stopped going

186
00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:41.720
to the tanatologist without warning or informing
my friend. Finally, neither of them

187
00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:46.200
understood what he was saying to them. Again I heard the baby crying at

188
00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:50.279
my house the next few days of
the week. The same thing never happened

189
00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:54.600
to me again, nor could I
go to the cemetery. The workload was

190
00:15:54.639 --> 00:16:00.759
very heavy and he left work very
late every day. Next weekend I went

191
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:06.960
to clean my mother' s grave. The woman I saw often had already

192
00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:11.240
arrived before me, again carrying a
gift and leaving it on the slab.

193
00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:17.440
I approached him to suggest that he
put it somewhere else, because after she

194
00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:21.320
left someone took it away. It
wasn' t fair that they did.

195
00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:25.960
I was doing a very low act
where people stole a gift from a deceased.

196
00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:32.080
She smiled at my comment telling me
that no one could take her son

197
00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:36.600
' s gift because he was the
one who picked him up and took him

198
00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:41.559
away to play. It was rather
strange to hear her with a trembling voice.

199
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:45.240
He told me he started taking a
car to his son and he realized

200
00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:49.480
he liked it. That' s
why I brought him a diary and did

201
00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:53.960
it so he wouldn' t cry
so much, because when he got bored

202
00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:56.960
of being inside it was when he
cried. His words left me bewildered.

203
00:16:57.559 --> 00:17:02.919
It was true that a baby cried, but I didn' t understand why

204
00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:06.640
he said he was angry in that
place. I wanted to keep talking to

205
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:10.960
her, but she left, though
quickly. I looked all over for her

206
00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:15.039
without finding her I saw how far
the watchman walked to the entrance. I

207
00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:19.880
approached him to ask him about the
woman in the tomb, whose tombstone had

208
00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:25.960
the name Angela. The watchman asked
me if I had noticed what the tombstone

209
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:30.599
said. I said it was the
first thing I saw. In fact,

210
00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:33.359
I wanted to ask the woman why
there was a woman’ s man and

211
00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:37.720
not that of a child, since, as she told me inside, the

212
00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:44.559
body of her son was buried.
No, things aren' t the way

213
00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:47.920
you think they are. He told
me the wakeman. The woman you saw

214
00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:53.559
was Angela, the same one inside
the tomb. The words of the watchman

215
00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:57.480
seemed a lie to me. It
wasn' t possible she could have seen

216
00:17:57.599 --> 00:18:03.440
a dead woman and talked to her. The man kept telling me that she

217
00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:07.559
had died when she was pregnant.
As she was told, she was already

218
00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:11.839
about to give birth when the pregnancy
was complicated by a blow that her husband

219
00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:17.079
gave her in the womb, when
she reproached her for the money spent on

220
00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:21.880
alcohol, because there was not enough
for food and the necessary things inside the

221
00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:26.559
home They said Angela' s husband
was so upset that he continued to beat

222
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:33.519
her. When the neighbors heard their
screams, they came to their aid.

223
00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:37.640
But it was too late because on
the way from the ambulance to the hospital,

224
00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:44.240
she died, as did the man' s son. Nothing else was

225
00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:48.920
known. He disappeared so he wouldn' t lose all the weight of justice.

226
00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:53.519
What the watchman told me seemed hard
to believe, but the proof was

227
00:18:53.599 --> 00:19:00.160
evident. I had only one question
about why she took a toy to her

228
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:07.359
son and said that he played with
the gifts his mother brought him. The

229
00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:11.680
man. He said he didn'
t know that. I didn' t

230
00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:15.720
understand why she was doing that,
let alone that her soul and that of

231
00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:22.559
the Baby were hurting long ago.
Some women brought a priest to pray for

232
00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:27.440
the eternal rest of those two souls
in sorrow and others also made a chain

233
00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:33.440
of prayers for Angela to stop appearing. At first, he thought that everything

234
00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:38.319
he did had worked, because he
stopped seeing himself for several years, like

235
00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:44.319
three years or so. But she
took a surprise when I told her that

236
00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:48.759
I saw her It was sad to
think that their souls were restless, even

237
00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:51.880
though she didn' t know how
to help them either. Finally, I

238
00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:56.720
asked him if at night they would
also walk out of the tomb. The

239
00:19:56.759 --> 00:20:02.160
watchman replied that he did before.
You could see in the distance a silhouette

240
00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:06.880
of a woman carrying something. He
believed that it was the baby and that

241
00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:11.799
more than once he heard the baby
crying as if he was in a lot

242
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:15.759
of pain because he was crying without
ceasing. But, as you told me

243
00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:21.200
earlier, I already had some time
when that didn' t happen. Besides,

244
00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:25.480
he' s never been talking to
anyone before. She was the first

245
00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:30.640
person to tell him that. The
man no longer wanted to talk to me.

246
00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:34.039
He told me that he had a
lot to do on the other side

247
00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:40.279
of the pantheon, because they were
in the process of exhuming bodies from the

248
00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:42.160
graves of those people who no longer
paid the expenses of owning a property.

249
00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:48.000
I was left with more doubts than
answers. I sat down for a moment

250
00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:52.559
in the grave. I couldn'
t give credit to everything the man told

251
00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:57.079
me. I was about to leave. When I heard the crying again I

252
00:20:57.119 --> 00:21:00.519
looked around again, without snr entering
anyone, although now I already knew where

253
00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:07.240
it came from. By placing my
hand on the slab of the grave,

254
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:11.400
I could feel the vibration of the
sound of baby crying was true. The

255
00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:17.920
sound came from inside the tomb.
Immediately I got scared, I went to

256
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:22.000
my mother' s grave and stood
for an instant without knowing what to do

257
00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:27.160
or what to think. But the
crying was still present. I took my

258
00:21:27.359 --> 00:21:32.279
stuff and left the place. Not
only was I distressed by the idea of

259
00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:36.599
seeing a dead woman, but there
was something worse that worried me a lot.

260
00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:40.720
If that poor soul wandered in this
world, like his son, what

261
00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:45.519
would become of my mother' s
soul, perhaps she also had the possibility

262
00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:52.039
to see me, as well as
to realize everything she did the following days.

263
00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:56.200
She was attentive to that tomb where
Angela saw, without her suddenly appearing.

264
00:21:57.880 --> 00:22:02.519
I felt the presence of him someone
behind my back. At the same

265
00:22:02.880 --> 00:22:07.519
time I heard the baby crying.
I was almost sure it was about her

266
00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:12.000
and that' s why I didn' t want to turn around, but

267
00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:15.839
that feeling wasn' t taken away
from me with much fear. I turned

268
00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:19.559
around to see who it was,
it was Angela. She was carrying her

269
00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:25.480
baby in her arms. The little
one cried in a pitiful way. While

270
00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:29.759
she was looking at me desperate,
she wanted to tell me something. She

271
00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:36.440
looked across the cemetery. I looked
where she was looking, too. The

272
00:22:36.599 --> 00:22:42.480
candlelight was accompanied by two men with
a digging tool. When I turned to

273
00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:47.480
look for her, she was already
gone. My first attempt was to run

274
00:22:47.559 --> 00:22:52.799
for it and I did it between
the tombs, the mausoleums and the leafy

275
00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:56.599
trees. But I heard the scream
of the watchman who asked me what I

276
00:22:56.599 --> 00:23:02.160
was doing. Without thinking, I
could only say that I had seen her

277
00:23:02.279 --> 00:23:07.000
and where she had gone. The
gravediggers only laughed at me. The watchman

278
00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:11.359
told me I couldn' t keep
watching Angela anymore. She had to pray

279
00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:15.640
to the Virgin to help her find
her way to the light, because not

280
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:21.119
only she wandered in a world that
did not belong to her, but also

281
00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:25.119
brought her baby with her. And
that wasn' t fair to either of

282
00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:30.799
us. The words of the watchman
surprised me. I' m sure it

283
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:34.519
was because he was more than used
to dealing with these kinds of circumstances,

284
00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:38.359
I didn' t answer the watchman. It only occurred to me to ask

285
00:23:38.480 --> 00:23:44.200
why those men came with the tool. The caretaker replied that Angela' s

286
00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:48.359
remains were to be exhumed because more
than five years had passed and no one

287
00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:55.799
had paid the taxes, nor did
any family members visit her. Because of

288
00:23:55.839 --> 00:24:00.119
the impression I had, as well
as nervousness, I did not think to

289
00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:04.200
ask how much the tax debt went
up to pay and to find a way

290
00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:08.559
to help that poor woman achieve peace, as she suffered in life and died

291
00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:17.759
of the irresponsibility of a man who
was perhaps alive. The watchman, in

292
00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:21.880
the face of my silence, gave
the order to the gravemen to begin removing

293
00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:25.920
the slabs and exhuming the body.
I didn' t know it took me

294
00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:30.039
to stay there. Perhaps it was
the curiosity to know if Angela' s

295
00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:36.119
body and her Baby were inside,
because a few moments earlier she had seen

296
00:24:36.200 --> 00:24:40.640
them with the experience men had.
In a few minutes the coffin began to

297
00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:45.000
rise. The watchman asked me to
retire a little and cover my nose and

298
00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:51.200
mouth with a handkerchief. Since I
had nothing within my reach, he lent

299
00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:56.640
me an extra paliacate that he had
in his pants bag. I never knew

300
00:24:56.759 --> 00:25:00.000
if it was right to see the
moment when they were doing the excu of

301
00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:04.920
a body, but I kept seeing
myself without anyone telling me anything. The

302
00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:10.960
instant they opened the box, I
expected a horrible smell, but we all

303
00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:15.000
got a surprise when we saw the
body in a state of decomposition less than

304
00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:21.119
it should have had by now.
She grabbed her belly and inside the drawer

305
00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:26.640
were all the toys Angela brought to
her little one. We are speechless before

306
00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:30.880
such a fact. I told the
watchman not to exhume the body, so

307
00:25:32.200 --> 00:25:37.119
it was with his spirit. The
man also agreed. He would have to

308
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:41.880
comment on the matter before the respective
authorities in order for them to take action

309
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:45.440
on the matter. I couldn'
t get out of my impact. I

310
00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:52.079
could know Angela how she really was
in life and believe me she was exactly

311
00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:56.920
the same as the one I had
seen. I was around Angela' s

312
00:25:56.960 --> 00:25:59.480
grave for a while. The las, las, las? Las? The

313
00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:04.279
competent frightful decided to leave his body
inside the coffin and that he would not

314
00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:10.759
be exhumed again. It was the
right action, but I still had a

315
00:26:10.759 --> 00:26:14.680
doubt. What he saw in the
drawer corroded by time and the humidity of

316
00:26:14.759 --> 00:26:18.000
the earth was his body, but
what he had seen was his spirit.

317
00:26:19.160 --> 00:26:25.000
What happened to your baby' s
soul that couldn' t rest. The

318
00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:29.799
answer was soon to arrive. On
the first night of that day they tried

319
00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:33.720
to remove Angela' s body.
The crying of a baby woke me up.

320
00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:37.200
I kept an eye on myself without
getting out of bed. I knew

321
00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:42.440
it was about her, but I
didn' t understand what she wanted from

322
00:26:42.559 --> 00:26:45.920
me or why she was looking for
me. If I had only been an

323
00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:52.400
inadvertent witness to the facts, I
had nothing to do about it. I

324
00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:56.039
got out of my confusion. When
I heard the closest cry as if covering

325
00:26:56.119 --> 00:27:00.880
myself with the blanket, I could
solve all the problems, I completely covered

326
00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:07.000
my whole body. I felt cornered. When the disturbing crying was inside my

327
00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:12.160
room with caution, I went uncovering
myself trying to keep that being from realizing

328
00:27:12.279 --> 00:27:19.319
that I had already awakened. There
she was standing with her baby in her

329
00:27:19.319 --> 00:27:26.359
arms. As she stared at me
her pale face and her slender body held

330
00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:32.200
up that little little body that wept
all of a sudden, not knowing what

331
00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:37.359
she wanted, she laid the baby
crying on the bed with the fear in

332
00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:40.680
my skin, and I stood up
behind the bed in carelessness. I was

333
00:27:40.799 --> 00:27:45.400
no longer gone, but the baby, or the baby' s spirit,

334
00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:49.240
was still crying, I didn'
t have the courage to approach the little

335
00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:53.720
one. I stayed in bed not
knowing what to do. With great care

336
00:27:55.079 --> 00:27:57.799
I got up and went to the
living room. I was walking from one

337
00:27:57.960 --> 00:28:03.359
side to the other, until I
no longer listened to the cry carefully.

338
00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:07.119
I looked in my room. There
was nothing there. The baby was gone.

339
00:28:08.279 --> 00:28:15.359
That puzzled me more that night I
was no longer able to sleep in

340
00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:19.400
the face of any external noise I
heard. I was startling. Angela never

341
00:28:19.440 --> 00:28:26.039
showed up again that night. In
the morning I managed to go back to

342
00:28:26.119 --> 00:28:30.160
my job. As I passed through
the cemetery, I felt a strange feeling

343
00:28:30.200 --> 00:28:33.680
with what I saw the other day. I no longer felt that place as

344
00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:37.440
my mother' s home. I
stopped going for several days, as I

345
00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:42.960
was afraid to meet Angela again because
she was a pitiful soul who could not

346
00:28:44.079 --> 00:28:49.279
have rest in the office. I
didn' t dare say anything to my

347
00:28:49.279 --> 00:28:56.440
partner. She noticed my tiredness and
distraction. I preferred to remain silent because

348
00:28:56.599 --> 00:29:02.519
now I was sure it wasn'
t about going to unfriendly therapies, although

349
00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:07.079
I couldn' t live with Angela
and the Baby either. Back from the

350
00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:11.240
office, I got off the truck
downtown. I intended to help that mother

351
00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:15.759
’ s spirit, but as I
had no idea how to do so,

352
00:29:17.319 --> 00:29:22.880
I arrived at an esoteric shop with
difficulty. I told what was happening to

353
00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:26.200
me. The person who attended me
was a young woman. I thought by

354
00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:33.279
her youth she could be inexperienced,
but on the contrary she was very kind

355
00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:38.880
to tell me that what happened to
her mother and her son was that her

356
00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:42.359
spirits could not rest because of the
way they died. Apparently, she felt

357
00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:48.640
guilty because her son was not born
and her body was incorrupt for many reasons,

358
00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:55.720
although it had nothing to do with
sanctification. As many people believed,

359
00:29:56.240 --> 00:30:03.079
the phenomenon was strange. The young
lady sold me some incense candlelights with a

360
00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:07.240
special smell. He told me how
to do the rituals before I went to

361
00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:12.680
sleep and mainly to pray for her
at night so that her soul could find

362
00:30:12.799 --> 00:30:18.680
the peace I needed. The first
night I did everything the girl told me

363
00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:22.839
to do. As I prayed,
I sensed a soft aroma of flowers.

364
00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:26.799
It was as if a gentle breeze
came into the house. I got up

365
00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:32.400
to close the window of the room, but that smell persisted for a while.

366
00:30:33.079 --> 00:30:36.880
Before I went to sleep, I
also prayed for the eternal rest of

367
00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:41.119
my mother' s soul. At
that point, I no longer knew if

368
00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:48.440
his spirit was resting. That night
there was neither any crying nor any appearance.

369
00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:52.759
It was hard for me to sleep
well, but when I did everything,

370
00:30:53.279 --> 00:30:59.440
I was calm. The following nights
the same thing happened. I began

371
00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:03.680
to trust that the ritual had taken
effect and that Angela' s soul had

372
00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:11.400
crossed the threshold between life and death. The next weekend I dared to go

373
00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:15.559
clean my mother' s grave.
I stayed with him for a while.

374
00:31:15.400 --> 00:31:19.240
Before I left, I went to
Angela' s grave. It was a

375
00:31:19.400 --> 00:31:23.400
weird feeling. What she felt was
a stranger who lived in another time,

376
00:31:23.880 --> 00:31:32.240
but somehow I could know her and
know about her tragedy. I made a

377
00:31:32.400 --> 00:31:37.839
simple prayer to say goodbye definitely to
her. But before I left I heard

378
00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:41.559
again that crying that paralyzed me.
It wasn' t possible for him to

379
00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:47.240
pursue me again. He had already
done what was within my reach and his

380
00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:52.279
soul could not yet rest. I
rushed away from the grave and headed towards

381
00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:57.119
the exit. It was by chance
that I met the night watchman again.

382
00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:04.079
He recognized me, which was why
I was in such a hurry. He

383
00:32:04.200 --> 00:32:08.200
told me that those souls who have
wandered through time were difficult to break with

384
00:32:08.359 --> 00:32:14.319
the cycle. The best thing was
not to move other spirits, because they

385
00:32:15.039 --> 00:32:19.079
could be evil and then I would
face some being who wanted to harm me.

386
00:32:19.799 --> 00:32:22.799
The words of the watchman instead of
comforting me, gave me more fear.

387
00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:28.720
I went back to the same young
woman at the esoteric shop. I

388
00:32:28.799 --> 00:32:34.119
told her that the ritual served for
several days, but that once again she

389
00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:38.240
had manifested herself I wanted her to
help me bring that spirit into sorrow toward

390
00:32:38.319 --> 00:32:43.920
eternal rest. The girl surprised me
again with what she told me, as

391
00:32:44.640 --> 00:32:49.519
the souls in sorrow reflected deep aspects
of the human condition, such as repentance,

392
00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:55.720
guilt, pain, the need for
forgiveness. And if that spirit had

393
00:32:55.799 --> 00:33:00.440
not hurt me, surely it was
because there was some aspect of his unsolved

394
00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:07.480
life. It was what kept her
stuck in this world. He indicated a

395
00:33:07.640 --> 00:33:12.400
different ritual for me to perform.
I bought him everything he needed to do.

396
00:33:13.319 --> 00:33:15.799
At night I did the ritual,
but this time it didn' t

397
00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:22.319
work. From the beginning. While
I was asleep, I was awakened by

398
00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:24.839
a cold air entering my room.
She was the one standing on the side

399
00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:30.119
of the bed. I got so
scared again, I almost fell out of

400
00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:35.200
bed. That deep and sad look
on the pale face, bearing also the

401
00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:38.839
spirit of a baby, was not
pleasant at all. She stared at me.

402
00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:45.240
He tried to put the baby in
my bed, but I yelled at

403
00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:49.960
him not to, to leave my
house and leave me alone. I wasn

404
00:33:50.119 --> 00:33:53.599
' t the right person to help
her get out of my life forever.

405
00:33:55.279 --> 00:34:00.359
What I did was an act generated
by fear. I was thinking I couldn

406
00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:05.079
' t live like this anymore and
I could only hear it as an object.

407
00:34:05.200 --> 00:34:08.519
I would fall to the side of
my bed and turn to the sound,

408
00:34:08.920 --> 00:34:15.079
but upon returning my gaze to that
apparition, she disappeared. The next

409
00:34:15.199 --> 00:34:21.760
day I warned at work that I
felt indisposed. As soon as I heard

410
00:34:21.840 --> 00:34:25.000
the church bells, I went straight
to talk to the priest. The temple

411
00:34:25.239 --> 00:34:30.800
was just opening it. I sat
on a bench waiting for the father.

412
00:34:30.440 --> 00:34:35.239
I haven' t been to church
in a long time, except when it

413
00:34:35.320 --> 00:34:37.880
was my mother' s present body
mass. As soon as I saw the

414
00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:42.800
father, I approached him desperately.
I told him everything that happened to me.

415
00:34:43.360 --> 00:34:46.239
The man touched my shoulder asking me
to calm down. At that time

416
00:34:46.599 --> 00:34:51.159
he was going to officiate the Mass, told me to stay and pray for

417
00:34:51.280 --> 00:34:54.119
the mother and her son. In
the end he' d come with me

418
00:34:54.119 --> 00:34:58.960
to my house. I didn'
t know if it was very much my

419
00:34:59.039 --> 00:35:02.519
need to be heard and to be
understood without passing judgment, but the priest

420
00:35:02.599 --> 00:35:07.599
' s voice and his words calmed
me down. I was at Mass asking

421
00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:10.719
for the rest of Angela' s
soul and her son. As for the

422
00:35:10.760 --> 00:35:15.440
Mass she finished, the father approached
me, told me that he was going

423
00:35:15.519 --> 00:35:20.960
to go to my house to bless
her. We walked away as the priest

424
00:35:21.079 --> 00:35:24.639
told me about his childhood and his
people and strange things happened there too.

425
00:35:27.400 --> 00:35:31.920
The souls in sorrow told me,
those who for some human reason were left

426
00:35:32.000 --> 00:35:37.280
unable to leave and were detained in
the space of the living. All they

427
00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:43.360
asked for was help. So we
had to find the motive that had it

428
00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:49.320
here, although we also had to
take into account that the dark evil beings

429
00:35:49.440 --> 00:35:52.960
were present and that sometimes they did
not allow them to leave for the Kingdom

430
00:35:52.960 --> 00:35:58.960
of Light. I was surprised that
the priest had no prejudice about what he

431
00:35:59.000 --> 00:36:02.800
saw. On the contrary. On
the way to my house he told me

432
00:36:02.840 --> 00:36:08.920
of some strange situations he witnessed when
he lived in his village. We followed

433
00:36:09.000 --> 00:36:14.519
the talk until we entered the house. As soon as we arrived, the

434
00:36:14.599 --> 00:36:17.639
priest told me that there was something
inside without any preamble. He began to

435
00:36:17.679 --> 00:36:22.000
pray to the Virgin of Guadalupe,
the Holy Spirit and Jesus. At the

436
00:36:22.159 --> 00:36:27.840
same time, he watered holy water
everywhere. When the father went through the

437
00:36:27.960 --> 00:36:31.800
whole house with his prayer and blessings. He left me in a small jar

438
00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:37.239
a little holy water. Before leaving
he told me that the little one Angela

439
00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:43.679
carried was probably a born or unborn
baby, so he didn' t have

440
00:36:43.800 --> 00:36:49.199
the sacrament of baptism. It might
be possible that she was being held for

441
00:36:49.199 --> 00:36:52.679
her son. If she ever appeared
to me again, I had to baptize

442
00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:57.400
the little one in God’ s
name. I wasn' t able to

443
00:36:57.760 --> 00:37:00.719
do it, I wasn' t
even going to mass and or or or

444
00:37:00.840 --> 00:37:04.440
or or was the person to give
baptism to the little one. He had

445
00:37:04.559 --> 00:37:09.280
to. I stopped all upset,
as I remembered that if Angela showed up

446
00:37:09.320 --> 00:37:15.039
again she would do it in the
morning, so I couldn' t go

447
00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:17.400
for the father. A little resigned, I told her she was fine.

448
00:37:17.920 --> 00:37:23.239
Just to explain to me how to
do it the father had no problem telling

449
00:37:23.239 --> 00:37:27.039
me and right away. He left
because he had to go to visit the

450
00:37:27.159 --> 00:37:30.679
sick, to be with the priest
and to tell me that the apparitions of

451
00:37:30.760 --> 00:37:37.320
souls occurred everywhere and in all times. It gave me peace of mind.

452
00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:42.760
In addition, she had already given
me another possible solution in case Angela appeared

453
00:37:42.880 --> 00:37:47.920
again with her son. Either way
in the house. I felt that I

454
00:37:49.000 --> 00:37:52.599
could breathe better and that the bad
energies were gone. I felt so good

455
00:37:53.079 --> 00:37:58.440
that I prepared to cook something good
to eat. I had a long time

456
00:37:58.559 --> 00:38:00.599
that I didn' t. Yeah, well, I went to get some

457
00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:05.280
rest to watch a movie. The
tiredness of so many sleepless days made yours.

458
00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:10.079
I fell deeply asleep on the sofa
in the living room with the TV

459
00:38:10.079 --> 00:38:15.800
on, I didn' t know
what time it was when the baby cry

460
00:38:15.800 --> 00:38:19.559
woke me up in. The first
thing I thought was that it didn'

461
00:38:19.719 --> 00:38:22.840
t serve the ritual that the father
had done either, and that, like

462
00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:28.719
the woman in the store is soterical, they had only given me hope that

463
00:38:28.719 --> 00:38:30.920
everything was going to end. At
that moment I remembered the holy water left

464
00:38:31.000 --> 00:38:36.400
to me by the priest. I
went after her and looked where Angela was.

465
00:38:37.280 --> 00:38:40.440
To say it sounds like it was
very easy to face her, although,

466
00:38:40.800 --> 00:38:45.079
as the father told me, it
was not a dark being who wanted

467
00:38:45.199 --> 00:38:49.599
to hurt me because I had already
done it. On the contrary, I

468
00:38:49.760 --> 00:38:53.920
was looking for something special, but
I was still afraid. That night was

469
00:38:54.039 --> 00:38:59.360
hard. I was very afraid,
as not only did Angela show up with

470
00:38:59.480 --> 00:39:02.639
her baby and I was afraid that
it was already a lot to meet in

471
00:39:02.760 --> 00:39:06.400
the dark and alone completely in the
house. It gave me a horrible dread.

472
00:39:07.039 --> 00:39:10.360
I remembered the priest' s words
as a last resort. I went

473
00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:15.199
to get the bottle of holy water
and went to get Angela' s soul.

474
00:39:15.960 --> 00:39:20.719
The crying came from my room.
So, convinced I decided to do

475
00:39:20.800 --> 00:39:24.840
it with great fear and trembling.
I got close to the door of my

476
00:39:24.960 --> 00:39:31.239
room. Suddenly the baby' s
crying stopped everything was completely silent. With

477
00:39:31.360 --> 00:39:36.400
great caution, I went into the
room. There she was hugging her son,

478
00:39:36.760 --> 00:39:43.039
but her face was disfigured. He
turned his head to the other side

479
00:39:43.119 --> 00:39:46.880
of the room. A black entity
was there with all its power, because

480
00:39:47.360 --> 00:39:52.960
as soon as it saw me,
it made a horrible sound that raised my

481
00:39:52.960 --> 00:39:57.679
skin. I almost ran out of
the place, but there was something that

482
00:39:58.239 --> 00:40:00.639
made me stop shaking. I began
to say the words the father taught me,

483
00:40:01.199 --> 00:40:07.280
but I had not finished doing so
when that lens fell upon me in

484
00:40:07.400 --> 00:40:12.000
all I thought was to make the
sign of the cross with the holy water,

485
00:40:12.480 --> 00:40:19.199
but that being passed over me.
Just the moment he did. I

486
00:40:19.280 --> 00:40:23.519
felt for an instant a series of
negative feelings. When I looked at Angela,

487
00:40:23.719 --> 00:40:28.920
I immediately went with her from a
distance, gave the blessing to her

488
00:40:29.199 --> 00:40:34.480
son and baptized him. In an
instant. Everything disappeared Angela, her son

489
00:40:35.119 --> 00:40:38.599
and that dark entity I was sitting
on the floor. I don' t

490
00:40:38.719 --> 00:40:45.519
know how long I ran out of
thoughts and energy when I started getting out

491
00:40:45.599 --> 00:40:47.760
of the state I was in.
I saw in the rest of the house

492
00:40:47.840 --> 00:40:53.079
that that evil being left shattered in
his path. I wanted to think it

493
00:40:53.199 --> 00:40:59.280
was all over, but at that
point I wasn' t sure about anything

494
00:40:59.320 --> 00:41:04.719
anymore, so I sat on the
couch waiting for everything to happen, but

495
00:41:04.840 --> 00:41:09.199
nothing happened. The rest of the
night was calm as soon as dawn,

496
00:41:09.599 --> 00:41:14.079
I set out to get ready to
go to work. I didn' t

497
00:41:14.199 --> 00:41:16.880
feel like doing it, but I
couldn' t miss another day. I

498
00:41:16.920 --> 00:41:21.840
went along the known route and saw
the cemetery. In my turn, I

499
00:41:21.880 --> 00:41:25.000
was no longer the same as when
I was going with my mother, but

500
00:41:25.119 --> 00:41:29.119
I was sure of something. It
was the resting place of the dead,

501
00:41:29.639 --> 00:41:32.679
but not of all. Upon my
return from work, I went to the

502
00:41:34.000 --> 00:41:37.079
parish to talk to the priest and
told him everything that happened. He listened

503
00:41:37.159 --> 00:41:43.960
to me thoughtfully nodding I asked him
what had happened. The father’ s

504
00:41:44.159 --> 00:41:47.760
theory was that the baby lacked baptism
to enter heaven and that perhaps an evil

505
00:41:47.960 --> 00:41:54.079
being tried to take it away because
he was not baptized and his mother cared

506
00:41:54.159 --> 00:41:59.079
for him all the time. It
was very likely that these two souls were

507
00:41:59.159 --> 00:42:13.960
now resting in peace closing soul.
I used public transport from my city to

508
00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:19.559
move to my place of work.
At that time he worked in a company

509
00:42:19.679 --> 00:42:24.000
that was engaged in the production of
biscuits and biscuits. He was a maintenance

510
00:42:24.000 --> 00:42:30.760
worker, so he did all kinds
of activities within the organization. There were

511
00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:35.079
times when I had to stay longer
because I had to do some electrical repairs

512
00:42:35.159 --> 00:42:40.199
or some other complications that could not
be postponed those days when I left later

513
00:42:40.320 --> 00:42:45.239
from work the company paid me the
service of a taxi or an uber only

514
00:42:45.480 --> 00:42:51.559
on occasions when the light train extended
its schedule for holidays in the city was

515
00:42:52.280 --> 00:42:57.119
when I used it at eleven o' clock or until twelve o' clock

516
00:42:57.239 --> 00:43:01.559
at night. It was on one
of those occasions that the bathroom water supply

517
00:43:01.639 --> 00:43:09.039
pipe broke because the facilities were already
old. A little before my shift ended,

518
00:43:09.320 --> 00:43:15.679
the manager sent for me to call
the women' s bathroom was completely

519
00:43:15.880 --> 00:43:21.159
flooded, so I had to stay
to work overtime. My house was on

520
00:43:21.320 --> 00:43:24.239
the other side of the city,
but the light train left me very close.

521
00:43:24.800 --> 00:43:29.440
I was just walking a few blocks
and I was already in my house.

522
00:43:30.679 --> 00:43:35.719
Previously I had a girlfriend, but
we didn' t understand each other

523
00:43:35.840 --> 00:43:40.920
and everyone took their way so I
lived with my dog Tobby fixing the pipe

524
00:43:42.000 --> 00:43:45.039
was a little more complicated than I
thought. It took me longer than my

525
00:43:45.039 --> 00:43:50.440
estimate, so I left the company
too late. It was almost midnight.

526
00:43:51.639 --> 00:43:55.239
My supervisor left me the money to
take a cab, but I preferred to

527
00:43:55.360 --> 00:44:00.960
keep that money and walk to the
light train station. On the way I

528
00:44:01.000 --> 00:44:06.679
noticed the streets were empty. So
far they heard the screams of the people

529
00:44:06.800 --> 00:44:10.880
who were at the auditorium event.
A famous artist had appeared, so when

530
00:44:12.000 --> 00:44:16.119
I entered the station she was completely
desolate, contrary to what I expected.

531
00:44:16.760 --> 00:44:22.960
There was no one inside. There
was only one woman with thin complexion and

532
00:44:22.079 --> 00:44:27.199
long hair up to the VI waist. When she looked at me, I

533
00:44:27.280 --> 00:44:31.039
tried to smile and be friendly,
but she immediately evaded me within a few

534
00:44:31.039 --> 00:44:35.679
minutes. He left the other side
of the platform. It was empty because

535
00:44:36.000 --> 00:44:42.440
it was the last station there,
so it barely started its journey as soon

536
00:44:42.559 --> 00:44:45.199
as the car opened its doors.
VI When the woman got into another one

537
00:44:45.320 --> 00:44:50.079
of the wagons, I had the
urge to go to the wagon she got

538
00:44:50.280 --> 00:44:53.239
into, but I didn' t
do it to not scare her. Then

539
00:44:53.519 --> 00:44:55.800
I' d think I was stalking
her and it wasn' t like that.

540
00:44:57.400 --> 00:45:01.239
I just wanted to start a conversation
with her from where I sat I

541
00:45:01.320 --> 00:45:07.119
could see her. She had sat
in the middle of the car, so

542
00:45:07.159 --> 00:45:13.159
we were both in sight. Suddenly
she looked up shy, while I kept

543
00:45:13.199 --> 00:45:17.039
looking at her at every station.
The train stopped, but a strange case

544
00:45:17.119 --> 00:45:22.800
was there was no one else on
the platforms, so the train continued its

545
00:45:22.840 --> 00:45:29.079
journey with only two passengers. After
passing the Mezquitan station, the train was

546
00:45:29.159 --> 00:45:34.039
still on the underground side of the
street, while it was still in motion.

547
00:45:34.400 --> 00:45:37.840
There were a few seconds when the
light went out immediately. I turned

548
00:45:37.920 --> 00:45:43.400
around to see how she was,
but, to my surprise, I wasn

549
00:45:43.559 --> 00:45:46.199
' t in the car. I
got up and went to the window to

550
00:45:46.280 --> 00:45:52.639
see if she had changed her seat, but that woman was gone. The

551
00:45:52.760 --> 00:45:58.960
wagon. It was completely empty.
I didn' t know what explanation to

552
00:45:58.960 --> 00:46:02.119
give to what happened. Jack that
the moment she vanished the train didn'

553
00:46:02.920 --> 00:46:08.199
t have any stops. It was
as he followed his journey through the rails,

554
00:46:08.639 --> 00:46:14.360
that he could not understand what was
going on, where that woman had

555
00:46:14.480 --> 00:46:17.480
gone, how it was possible that
she had disappeared. The strangest thing was

556
00:46:17.639 --> 00:46:22.920
that, when we arrived at the
next station, that of Juarez, there

557
00:46:22.960 --> 00:46:28.239
were several people waiting for the service
distributed in the three wagons. The train

558
00:46:28.400 --> 00:46:31.599
was once again the same as always, with hustle and bustle and people all

559
00:46:31.679 --> 00:46:37.480
around me. I stood looking through
the window at the other car with the

560
00:46:37.039 --> 00:46:40.480
intention of seeing that young woman again, but it didn' t happen.

561
00:46:42.840 --> 00:46:46.119
When the voice of the train announced
that we arrived at the last station I

562
00:46:46.159 --> 00:46:50.960
got off, as did the rest
of the people. I was on the

563
00:46:51.119 --> 00:46:54.239
platform hoping to see her, but
I wasn' t wrong. She had

564
00:46:54.360 --> 00:47:01.519
mysteriously disappeared. The Anden was completely
Void bewildered by that event, I went

565
00:47:01.559 --> 00:47:07.280
home, even though the streets were
alone and dark. I wasn' t

566
00:47:07.440 --> 00:47:12.599
afraid because I was more than used
to being late to my house. The

567
00:47:12.719 --> 00:47:15.760
next day I told one of my
coworkers what had happened to me on the

568
00:47:15.920 --> 00:47:21.599
train, but my partner didn'
t pay attention to me. He told

569
00:47:21.679 --> 00:47:24.800
me by the way of a joke
that it was so much my desire to

570
00:47:25.199 --> 00:47:30.400
meet a woman that I already imagined
her. That' s why I had

571
00:47:30.960 --> 00:47:34.360
mysteriously disappeared, because it was only
in my mind. I didn' t

572
00:47:34.480 --> 00:47:37.719
tell him anything anymore, because it
bothered me not to believe me. I

573
00:47:37.800 --> 00:47:43.480
continued to work on installing some electrical
switches. When another of my colleagues approached

574
00:47:43.559 --> 00:47:47.559
me, he told me to apologize, but I had listened to my talk

575
00:47:49.119 --> 00:47:52.679
and it was not true that I
had imagined. That woman. She did

576
00:47:52.760 --> 00:47:57.559
exist, because she had also seen
it, just as it happened to me,

577
00:47:58.039 --> 00:48:01.280
she saw it alone and then,
while the train was running, she

578
00:48:01.280 --> 00:48:07.440
disappeared. I was calmed down a
bit because I realized that I had not

579
00:48:07.920 --> 00:48:10.880
been the only one, because since
the train was alone, there were no

580
00:48:12.039 --> 00:48:16.079
people who could testify to what I
had seen. It also gave me a

581
00:48:16.159 --> 00:48:21.199
little fear. I can' t
deny that all day I spent thinking about

582
00:48:21.320 --> 00:48:25.679
her, trying to give a logical
explanation to what happened, because in all

583
00:48:25.800 --> 00:48:30.719
the time I had used the train
service, nothing like that had ever happened

584
00:48:30.880 --> 00:48:35.840
to me. That day and the
next week I was leaving later than usual

585
00:48:35.920 --> 00:48:39.039
from work, not as late as
the night I saw the young woman,

586
00:48:39.239 --> 00:48:45.079
but enough to make it dark and
wait for the service at the last station.

587
00:48:47.400 --> 00:48:52.039
Every day I looked for her without
finding her, although there were also

588
00:48:52.119 --> 00:48:57.280
many people on the platforms, as
the parties in the auditorium were all over

589
00:48:57.360 --> 00:49:01.599
October. As the days passed,
I stopped looking for her. I didn

590
00:49:01.719 --> 00:49:07.079
' t have words to explain the
event, so I didn' t spin

591
00:49:07.079 --> 00:49:10.760
it anymore. I left the business
behind. I had very few out-

592
00:49:12.039 --> 00:49:15.519
of- work activities, as I
was absorbed most of the time being in

593
00:49:15.519 --> 00:49:22.320
the company. Always for some reason
there were malfunctions that didn' t allow

594
00:49:22.400 --> 00:49:24.519
me to return home early. It
was true that he had no family,

595
00:49:24.719 --> 00:49:30.840
that he was waiting for me,
but he wanted to do other kinds of

596
00:49:30.880 --> 00:49:34.880
activities, such as going to the
walker to run with my dog, which

597
00:49:34.880 --> 00:49:37.039
he also had very forgotten. Poor
Toby spent only most of his time.

598
00:49:38.880 --> 00:49:44.719
I would take him for a walk
before I went to work and at night

599
00:49:44.960 --> 00:49:50.119
also when I didn' t get
so tired, but it was the only

600
00:49:50.119 --> 00:49:52.400
thing I did for him. I
was angry every day being inside the company.

601
00:49:53.679 --> 00:50:00.199
It was true that on Saturdays I
worked until noon and rested on Sundays

602
00:50:00.320 --> 00:50:05.039
and received a good salary for the
overtime I had left, but I wanted

603
00:50:05.039 --> 00:50:08.639
something different. One of the few
days I left work early, I realized

604
00:50:08.679 --> 00:50:15.360
that the train was filling more than
usual on a skillful schedule. My body

605
00:50:15.639 --> 00:50:19.199
was glued to that of so many
others. I didn' t like going

606
00:50:19.280 --> 00:50:22.280
out early at all. Not everything
was so bad because I met a friend

607
00:50:22.360 --> 00:50:29.119
who had a long time without seeing
we had studied together at SECAT. After

608
00:50:29.280 --> 00:50:34.880
we finished the technical career, we
continued to see each other, but our

609
00:50:34.960 --> 00:50:37.000
own work did not allow us to
continue doing so. In addition, he

610
00:50:37.039 --> 00:50:43.800
had married and formed a family.
When I saw him, I was very

611
00:50:44.239 --> 00:50:45.199
happy to find him as I could. I gave him a hug. I

612
00:50:45.280 --> 00:50:50.280
told him I was inviting him to
my house for a drink and catching up

613
00:50:50.400 --> 00:50:54.039
on our lives. He saw his
watch. He told me he didn'

614
00:50:54.119 --> 00:51:00.239
t have much time, but he
had something to talk to me, so

615
00:51:00.239 --> 00:51:02.239
we got off to the last train
station on the south side of the city.

616
00:51:04.719 --> 00:51:07.920
In a short time I was at
my house talking with my friend Luis.

617
00:51:07.360 --> 00:51:10.719
He didn' t have much time, so he told me where he

618
00:51:10.880 --> 00:51:16.039
worked they were applying for a maintenance
assistant. He had thought of me,

619
00:51:17.079 --> 00:51:21.360
but he hadn' t told me, so we didn' t talk much

620
00:51:21.360 --> 00:51:24.559
anymore. I was interested in your
proposal and asked for the details. Luis

621
00:51:24.760 --> 00:51:30.320
told me the job was on the
light train. The faults of the train

622
00:51:30.440 --> 00:51:34.480
wagons, the rails, the electricity
of the entire electric train system, the

623
00:51:34.559 --> 00:51:37.840
possible leaks of water in the different
pipes of all the stations, as well

624
00:51:37.920 --> 00:51:44.239
as the revision of the train'
s auditory programs had to be carried out.

625
00:51:45.320 --> 00:51:49.360
The only thing that work was at
night, because most repairs and maintenance

626
00:51:49.440 --> 00:51:54.159
were done at night, although there
were times when work was done during the

627
00:51:54.239 --> 00:52:00.320
day, but that happened sporadically within
the advantages it had was that the salary

628
00:52:00.400 --> 00:52:06.760
was very good, better than the
one it had in the company. Good

629
00:52:06.840 --> 00:52:13.079
performance and mainly I think it was
what pleased me most about the possibility of

630
00:52:13.159 --> 00:52:16.239
doing other activities during the day.
It was true that I didn' t

631
00:52:16.320 --> 00:52:22.679
have all day for myself because I
had to sleep to rest at night,

632
00:52:22.119 --> 00:52:27.280
but Luis told me the work wasn' t heavy. There was a large

633
00:52:27.400 --> 00:52:31.280
staff of men who dedicated themselves to
the same thing, so it was only

634
00:52:31.360 --> 00:52:37.039
up to two seasons for every four
men. Without much thought, I told

635
00:52:37.079 --> 00:52:40.920
him that I already wanted to change
my work and schedule. So I started

636
00:52:42.000 --> 00:52:46.599
my business paperwork. I asked for
permission one day at work, arguing that

637
00:52:46.679 --> 00:52:50.960
I would go to the doctor to
take all my documents to the new company.

638
00:52:52.079 --> 00:52:54.800
Because of the recommendation he made.
I got the job in less than

639
00:52:54.960 --> 00:53:00.800
a month. Luis asked me to
be left in his crew to monitor my

640
00:53:00.400 --> 00:53:06.000
activities and also teach me what to
do. The first night, Luis dedicated

641
00:53:06.119 --> 00:53:09.840
himself to showing me the place where
the tools were located, as well as

642
00:53:10.199 --> 00:53:17.119
the electrical and centrifugal control devices of
the electricity and water systems. As soon

643
00:53:17.280 --> 00:53:22.119
as we had a break to rest, I asked Luis if he had seen

644
00:53:22.239 --> 00:53:27.400
strange things inside the seasons. He
asked me why I asked him that question

645
00:53:28.039 --> 00:53:30.119
with a little fear that he would
judge me crazy or laugh at me.

646
00:53:31.400 --> 00:53:36.239
I told him what happened to me
that night in October, contrary to my

647
00:53:36.360 --> 00:53:40.239
friend’ s expectations. He gave
me a lot of attention as soon as

648
00:53:40.280 --> 00:53:43.960
I finished telling him what happened to
me. He stayed serious. She told

649
00:53:44.079 --> 00:53:50.239
me to be very careful because that
woman I saw was an apparition a soul

650
00:53:50.320 --> 00:53:55.199
in sorrow, perhaps because she had
some unfinished business, but it was to

651
00:53:55.360 --> 00:54:00.440
some extent normal for strange things to
happen, not just him to her.

652
00:54:00.039 --> 00:54:06.960
There were also times when voices were
heard as if a number of people were

653
00:54:07.119 --> 00:54:13.719
in some station, they were murmurs
that were suspended in this reality, but

654
00:54:13.760 --> 00:54:17.079
then they stopped listening, they also
said that a man appeared in a car.

655
00:54:19.280 --> 00:54:23.559
We had time to talk, because
that night there wasn' t much

656
00:54:23.599 --> 00:54:30.239
work, so Luis continued to explain
to me events that he didn' t

657
00:54:30.400 --> 00:54:35.920
know as the time that a person
at the North Division station ventured onto the

658
00:54:35.920 --> 00:54:38.119
tracks and lost his life. It
was a fact that tried to keep it

659
00:54:38.719 --> 00:54:44.239
secret and was achieved because on that
occasion the electric train users were told that

660
00:54:44.320 --> 00:54:49.519
the service was suspended due to a
system failure, as it was true that

661
00:54:49.880 --> 00:54:54.400
a setback had occurred. Trains were
being checked, so they were transiting the

662
00:54:54.480 --> 00:55:00.360
tracks without people on board, only
maintenance and operators, so there were no

663
00:55:00.480 --> 00:55:05.840
witnesses but the workers themselves, but
they were asked not to say anything.

664
00:55:08.320 --> 00:55:13.719
That time there were no trains for
two hours until the man' s lifeless

665
00:55:13.800 --> 00:55:21.239
body was removed, without any evidence. He also told me about the car

666
00:55:21.440 --> 00:55:24.079
accidents that the train had because of
the recklessness of the drivers themselves. Sometimes

667
00:55:24.159 --> 00:55:31.559
they were private cars, sometimes they
were cargo trucks or buses. My friend,

668
00:55:31.800 --> 00:55:36.519
by the way of a joke,
told me that if I wanted to

669
00:55:36.719 --> 00:55:39.280
continue with the dark accounts of the
train, or would prefer to continue the

670
00:55:39.280 --> 00:55:44.239
work evening. I was right,
so I didn' t care what I

671
00:55:44.280 --> 00:55:49.840
saw with that woman anymore. Days
later, I was called during the day

672
00:55:49.920 --> 00:55:54.320
to report to one of the stations
on the new line three. I had

673
00:55:54.480 --> 00:55:59.719
little time that had opened and a
failure occurred. I didn' t know

674
00:55:59.719 --> 00:56:04.239
what it was about, but Luis
asked me for my support at that station

675
00:56:04.360 --> 00:56:07.679
because the train had stopped. He
offered me an apology for speaking to me

676
00:56:07.800 --> 00:56:13.119
at the time of my break,
but it was an unusual situation, no

677
00:56:13.119 --> 00:56:15.440
problem at all. I went to
work, so I immediately put on my

678
00:56:15.559 --> 00:56:21.400
uniform and went to the station.
The problem to be solved took us longer

679
00:56:21.519 --> 00:56:25.119
than expected. There was more staff
trying to settle the conflict. It was

680
00:56:25.199 --> 00:56:30.920
made at night and we were still
working very late. That' s when

681
00:56:30.039 --> 00:56:35.639
it could all be finished. The
chief approached the workers' staff and told

682
00:56:36.039 --> 00:56:40.039
us that we could go to rest. The problem had already been solved and

683
00:56:40.159 --> 00:56:45.800
we had worked hard for several hours
in a row and all went home.

684
00:56:46.480 --> 00:56:51.800
I kept talking to Luis for a
few more minutes. I suddenly remembered that

685
00:56:51.840 --> 00:56:54.760
I had left my backpack in the
car. I went for her and started

686
00:56:54.880 --> 00:57:00.320
to hear a lot of kid laughs. At that moment I remember my friend

687
00:57:00.360 --> 00:57:05.280
' s words. Without listening,
I picked up my belongings to get out

688
00:57:05.280 --> 00:57:09.360
of the car, but before I
did, I heard a few steps running

689
00:57:09.480 --> 00:57:14.639
like someone was inside, but there
was no one. Then I saw the

690
00:57:14.719 --> 00:57:19.000
hands of some children drawn on the
glass windows. I had no idea what

691
00:57:19.119 --> 00:57:24.119
it was about what I ran out
of the car. My friend noticed fear.

692
00:57:24.679 --> 00:57:29.719
He asked me not to be scared
of that freak. It started to

693
00:57:29.880 --> 00:57:32.199
happen while they were building line three
of the train. I knew it was

694
00:57:32.320 --> 00:57:37.880
not pleasant to hear them and see
the evidence that something happened when their hands

695
00:57:38.000 --> 00:57:42.480
were reflected in the glass, but
there was nothing to do. The best

696
00:57:42.719 --> 00:57:46.079
thing was to leave. Every time
I was surprised by what was happening on

697
00:57:46.159 --> 00:57:51.760
the train and its stations. It
was as if there was another life apart

698
00:57:51.840 --> 00:57:55.519
from that used by the common user. Although Luis told me I had nothing

699
00:57:55.639 --> 00:58:00.920
to worry about. That' s
what happened every night. With the passage

700
00:58:00.000 --> 00:58:05.519
of time I was going to get
used to it, although I thought that

701
00:58:05.719 --> 00:58:09.039
such events one never gets used to, especially because he lived alone. I

702
00:58:09.119 --> 00:58:14.599
had the feeling that at any moment, one of those spirits could stick to

703
00:58:14.719 --> 00:58:22.400
me and go home with me.
After that chaotic night. The other days

704
00:58:22.480 --> 00:58:28.199
were quiet. The job was permanent, but without any setbacks. The worst

705
00:58:28.280 --> 00:58:31.360
night I had was one that Luis
didn' t go to work because he

706
00:58:31.440 --> 00:58:36.440
was sick. He reported fever and
stayed home to rest for the last time.

707
00:58:37.159 --> 00:58:43.280
Another of my colleagues had an accident
while checking the rails. He fell

708
00:58:43.599 --> 00:58:49.719
and hurt his knee. He had
to go to the E R because his

709
00:58:49.760 --> 00:58:55.199
knee swelled a lot, so we
only had another partner and I. The

710
00:58:55.320 --> 00:58:59.480
job wasn' t going to be
a problem because it wasn' t much.

711
00:59:00.159 --> 00:59:02.719
We did it constantly. In four
hours, I' d be done.

712
00:59:04.519 --> 00:59:07.719
That' s what I was suggesting
to my partner. Then we could

713
00:59:07.840 --> 00:59:12.559
go to sleep for a while,
so we got to work. While checking

714
00:59:12.679 --> 00:59:16.280
the cables on the wagons, he
was at the top of one of the

715
00:59:16.480 --> 00:59:22.840
wagons because there was a problem with
the wiring. When I suddenly heard someone

716
00:59:22.960 --> 00:59:28.159
sneezing, I thought it was my
partner, I told him the usual health

717
00:59:28.639 --> 00:59:34.320
and continued my work. I heard
the same noise again. I got off

718
00:59:34.440 --> 00:59:38.000
the roof of the car to tell
him jokingly that what I needed was a

719
00:59:38.880 --> 00:59:42.920
beer, but I was dumb.
When I saw a woman sitting in the

720
00:59:43.000 --> 00:59:47.719
car seat, it was impossible for
her to be a normal passenger, because

721
00:59:47.760 --> 00:59:52.400
it was after 2: 00 in
the morning. I walked very cautiously trying

722
00:59:52.519 --> 00:59:55.920
to keep the woman from seeing me, but when I took one step further,

723
00:59:57.440 --> 01:00:01.320
a plastic bottle that some passenger on
the floor kicked without realizing the woman

724
01:00:01.440 --> 01:00:08.239
or whatever it was. He turned
his head immediately to where I was by

725
01:00:08.440 --> 01:00:15.639
then and was sweating cold. When
I saw her pale white face and her

726
01:00:15.719 --> 01:00:20.920
eyes completely dark, I knew she
wasn' t a real woman. He

727
01:00:21.079 --> 01:00:24.199
was one of those beings who went
out at night. I was paralyzed by

728
01:00:24.320 --> 01:00:28.559
fear. I wanted to run,
but my legs didn' t answer.

729
01:00:29.000 --> 01:00:32.519
As she began to approach. That' s when I realized he had his

730
01:00:32.599 --> 01:00:37.760
feet naked and bleeding. In my
attempt to get out of the place quickly,

731
01:00:37.280 --> 01:00:43.960
I stumbled and fell down, but
fear caused me to get up soon

732
01:00:44.039 --> 01:00:47.800
I got out of the car running
across the platform, but that woman was

733
01:00:47.880 --> 01:00:52.480
faster than I was. He got
on all fours and started running like an

734
01:00:52.559 --> 01:00:57.880
animal. It hit me faster than
I thought. I felt his icy hand

735
01:00:57.960 --> 01:01:01.639
on my neck. Then he started
licking him sitting on me. He showed

736
01:01:01.760 --> 01:01:07.480
me big teeth like he was trying
to nail them somewhere in my body.

737
01:01:07.880 --> 01:01:13.719
I remember that I only felt a
very strong pain in my neck and lost

738
01:01:13.719 --> 01:01:19.599
consciousness, a movement made me aware. It was my partner who was trying

739
01:01:19.679 --> 01:01:23.280
to get me back. The images
of that woman immediately came to my mind.

740
01:01:24.599 --> 01:01:30.960
I pulled back looking all over for
her. She was there babbling at

741
01:01:31.000 --> 01:01:36.280
my partner towards the wagon, but
he didn' t even want to look

742
01:01:37.000 --> 01:01:39.719
out, and not because he didn' t believe me, but he knew

743
01:01:39.719 --> 01:01:45.000
what I meant. My companion pulled
out under his uniform a rosary hanging on

744
01:01:45.039 --> 01:01:50.239
his neck told me that he was
blessed and that every day he brought it,

745
01:01:50.400 --> 01:01:54.000
since he had also seen the woman
who attacked me. I didn'

746
01:01:54.119 --> 01:01:58.679
t know if it was a witch, a demon, but it was real.

747
01:02:00.480 --> 01:02:02.719
As soon as I got up,
we left the platform and went to

748
01:02:02.800 --> 01:02:08.159
a small room where all the tools
and materials were kept. We didn'

749
01:02:08.239 --> 01:02:12.880
t even finish the job anymore.
It wasn' t much that was missing,

750
01:02:13.679 --> 01:02:15.960
but we preferred to stay inside the
room. We felt safer, although

751
01:02:16.360 --> 01:02:22.079
I think it was useless to be
there, because if that woman wanted to

752
01:02:22.239 --> 01:02:27.119
hurt us the door with a key
and the walls wouldn' t stop her.

753
01:02:28.039 --> 01:02:31.440
My co- worker confirmed what I
thought, as she told me that

754
01:02:31.960 --> 01:02:37.119
if she wanted to hurt me,
she would have done it without any problem.

755
01:02:37.760 --> 01:02:43.960
When the shift was over, the
workers began to arrive. I took

756
01:02:43.960 --> 01:02:47.079
a deep breath, felt calmer and
relieved. I went to rest at my

757
01:02:47.199 --> 01:02:52.760
place. Although it was in vain, he could not get the dream as

758
01:02:52.880 --> 01:02:55.519
soon as he closed his eyes.
The image of the woman scared me just

759
01:02:57.199 --> 01:03:00.800
to think that I would have to
work at the same station again. It

760
01:03:00.920 --> 01:03:07.000
gave me chills that made me shudder. I don' t know how long

761
01:03:07.119 --> 01:03:12.079
I' ve been up and around
the same thought until I made the decision.

762
01:03:12.480 --> 01:03:15.639
I phoned Luis to tell him I
wasn' t going to show up

763
01:03:15.719 --> 01:03:20.199
for work anymore. I told him
what happened to me. At no time

764
01:03:20.639 --> 01:03:23.119
did he deny everything I told him. On the contrary, he told me

765
01:03:23.239 --> 01:03:30.280
that not only in the train stations
did such apparitions occur. Anywhere. The

766
01:03:30.400 --> 01:03:35.199
souls of the dead wandered, could
appear on a dark street, in a

767
01:03:35.320 --> 01:03:39.800
church or even in their own house. I shouldn' t let myself be

768
01:03:40.039 --> 01:03:44.599
intimidated by a spirit that couldn'
t hurt me anymore because I had no

769
01:03:44.599 --> 01:03:50.039
body. Luis' words seemed true
to me, but I didn' t

770
01:03:50.119 --> 01:03:53.440
agree with him telling me that they
couldn' t hurt me, because it

771
01:03:53.519 --> 01:03:58.320
wasn' t what I felt.
I had the impression that I wanted to

772
01:03:58.440 --> 01:04:01.079
take my life even though I thought
when well I was still alive. If

773
01:04:01.159 --> 01:04:04.679
he wanted to hurt me, he
wouldn' t be talking to my friend

774
01:04:04.679 --> 01:04:10.000
anymore. The reflection he told me
made me continue at work, but asking

775
01:04:10.119 --> 01:04:15.800
him to change other stations if possible
from another line. The change was not

776
01:04:15.880 --> 01:04:20.920
made overnight. It came a little
over two weeks before I was allowed to

777
01:04:21.000 --> 01:04:27.000
go to another workplace, so I
was still working at the same stations this

778
01:04:27.079 --> 01:04:33.360
week. The next night, after
the incident I had with that wandering spirit,

779
01:04:34.039 --> 01:04:39.239
she did not approach me. I
could only see her sitting inside the

780
01:04:39.639 --> 01:04:43.920
car, with her long black hair. From time to time he turned his

781
01:04:44.039 --> 01:04:48.519
face to look at me without leaving
the car, he would lie if I

782
01:04:48.599 --> 01:04:53.800
told them that one gets used to
living with beings from another plane and that

783
01:04:53.920 --> 01:04:56.920
he could be on the platform where
she was. As soon as I saw

784
01:04:57.039 --> 01:04:59.440
her, I was going to a
place where I wasn' t present.

785
01:05:00.239 --> 01:05:04.280
She was always the same, with
her head bent down with her hair covering

786
01:05:04.360 --> 01:05:09.639
most of her face could only reach
to see the look lost in nothingness.

787
01:05:11.320 --> 01:05:15.119
Next week, they switched me to
line three on the train. It was

788
01:05:15.239 --> 01:05:19.159
the same station where the incident occurred
when the train stopped for an entire afternoon.

789
01:05:20.360 --> 01:05:26.000
Also in that place, after midnight, laughter was heard from children as

790
01:05:26.159 --> 01:05:31.599
if they were playing even once again
crying. I cannot deny that the first

791
01:05:31.679 --> 01:05:36.800
times I heard the children I was
afraid, a fear of the unknown that

792
01:05:36.920 --> 01:05:43.159
invaded my entire body. So I' m still working on the citeur with

793
01:05:43.280 --> 01:05:47.480
the setbacks that this implies. Although
one day I found out that a man

794
01:05:47.599 --> 01:05:53.360
got very bad he screamed like crazy
that there was a strange woman there.

795
01:05:54.000 --> 01:05:59.000
He was aiming at a corner of
the platform, but as it was too

796
01:05:59.079 --> 01:06:01.840
late there were very few people like
him, he continued to make a lot

797
01:06:01.840 --> 01:06:06.199
of scandal. They talked to the
police. I think the spirit of that

798
01:06:06.320 --> 01:06:12.079
woman wanders for some reason, which
did her much harm to such an extent

799
01:06:12.559 --> 01:06:18.920
that even her soul has not been
able to rest. Stories written and adapted
