1
00:00:04.919 --> 00:00:08.279
It all started when I was just
a 12- year- old boy.

2
00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:14.599
My mother got a job as a
cashier at a store called Giant store that

3
00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:19.519
no longer exists in Mexico today,
while my father worked as a foreign driver.

4
00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:25.920
But at that point his marriage was
already about to collapse. My mother

5
00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:31.280
made the decision to move to a
neighborhood in a very poor neighborhood outside Cuernavaca.

6
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:37.039
The neighborhood belonged to some cousins of
my mother, whom, before living

7
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:42.880
there, I saw only on a
couple of occasions. They were very affectionate

8
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:46.920
people, but strange. My aunt, the eldest, was suffering from a

9
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:52.880
nervous illness, which caused her whole
body to tremble uncontrollably. This forced her

10
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:58.600
to always be brought in from a
wheelchair. The other two guys. One

11
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:03.119
was ill from his demental faculties and
had a home of his own. I

12
00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:07.000
' d rather live in the trash. The third of the brothers suffered the

13
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:11.159
same evil as my aunt Rosario,
although not so sharp, for he could

14
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:15.879
walk with the help of a cane. He lived in a house a few

15
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.879
blocks from there and my aunt Rosario
lived in a huge house at the entrance

16
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:25.560
of the neighborhood next to her son. The rent price was almost given away

17
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:30.319
and my mother had offered to take
care of her while we were living there.

18
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:34.560
This is because his son was vicious
and lazy. The only thing that

19
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:41.959
contributed to his mother They were concerns
gave us the number seven department was not

20
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:47.280
the biggest but the best fact and
is that the apartments were built directly on

21
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:53.519
a fairly old estate that was probably
even part of some monastery or hacienda.

22
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:59.680
The apartment had a fairly spacious room, a long hallway, with a garden

23
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:04.280
or or, the floor in the
back, the bathroom that had a bathtub

24
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:08.159
and on one side the kitchen.
The place seemed huge to me. One

25
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:13.479
day, my mother had to perform
a night shift and arrived in the morning

26
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:17.520
very tired. After giving me breakfast, she asked me not to wake her

27
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:23.599
up and later she would take me
to my favorite restaurant for pizza. When

28
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:28.439
I was a kid, I was
pretty quiet if I wasn' t reading

29
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:30.319
some comic book from the paper.
I was playing with my toy soldiers in

30
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:36.400
the garden and that day. It
was no exception. I amused myself soon

31
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:40.199
with my games. He was sitting
in the garden when a violent gust of

32
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:46.800
wind passed through the garden and then
entered through the kitchen window. I found

33
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:51.840
that blizzard most strange, as it
would normally have been for the wind to

34
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:55.879
crash into the bathroom door that was
closest to the garden. Within minutes of

35
00:02:55.919 --> 00:03:04.680
this, the kitchen window opened by
itself. Then I heard a few steps

36
00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:08.479
inside and, finally, I saw
as if someone were looking at the newspaper

37
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:12.120
for this point I was standing on
my toes in front of the window.

38
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:16.560
There was no one in there.
I felt scared and when I was about

39
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:21.960
to return, I heard a voice
greeting me at that moment I panicked.

40
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:25.159
I ran into the room, but
my mother had closed it from the inside.

41
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:30.240
I started knocking on the door and
a few seconds later my mother came

42
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:34.520
out. I told her what happened
and my mother, after calming me down,

43
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:38.360
told me that when I was a
child, I had lived in the

44
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:44.120
apartment on one side and that it
was up to her to witness all kinds

45
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:46.639
of paranormal activity, both to her
and to her brothers. He told me

46
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:51.199
a story about a little toy clown
he found next to a water well in

47
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:57.520
that apartment. According to my mother, they had to burn the toy because

48
00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:01.680
it grew roots in her hands and
looked like their nails were growing. And

49
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:08.319
although they tried to throw it away
on several occasions in one way or another,

50
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:12.280
the doll returned to dawn by the
well of water. My mother swore

51
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:16.680
to me that the apartment, on
the one hand, was completely haunted,

52
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:23.240
but that she should not be afraid
of ours, for throughout her childhood she

53
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:28.279
never found out that something bad or
strange happened in it. And that'

54
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:32.360
s where my grandmother' s brother
lived for many years. Different and strange

55
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:36.720
things were always said, such as, for example, that they once took

56
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:42.279
my aunt' s son, Rosario, out of the well, because he

57
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:45.519
said he went down to the well
following a robot toy. When they found

58
00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:49.519
him, he was almost purple and
if it had taken a couple more minutes,

59
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:54.680
he would have drowned. At that
time when we moved to apartment seven

60
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:59.600
the six was empty and with my
mother' s stories, he began to

61
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:03.240
see it with fear. I was
so terrified to go through one side that

62
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:09.480
when they sent me to the store, I ran through the hallway, because

63
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:13.879
I imagined that if I stopped for
a second to look at the gate or

64
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:15.600
in the direction of the window,
I would see the face of a witch.

65
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:21.439
There came a day when a young
woman with two children, a ten

66
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:26.120
- year- old girl and a
boy my age, moved to the apartment.

67
00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:30.279
I remember as soon as they were
moving, I came to meet them.

68
00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:34.480
I offered to help with the move
and once I was inside and saw

69
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:39.680
the apartment in detail. I found
no reason to be afraid, because the

70
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:44.800
place was almost identical to the one
I lived, except for the well of

71
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:48.800
water that, by the way,
was well latched with blacksmith' s work

72
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:55.279
for more security. The door to
the well was well closed with a thick

73
00:05:55.680 --> 00:06:00.360
chain and a huge solid steel padlock. The well was exactly where the garden

74
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:06.160
should be in front of the only
room. Everything else was just like my

75
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:12.680
house. That first day we played
late. The children were called Edgar and

76
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:17.800
Guadalupe. Nothing strange happened that day, except that the spotlights flashed, but

77
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:25.399
that was very common in the neighborhood. The next day, the children played

78
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:30.000
at my house. His mother worked
double shifts and only ordered my mother to

79
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:35.480
send them to his apartment. Before
eight. They themselves prepared to eat.

80
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:40.240
My mother wouldn' t let me
stay at her house. And almost every

81
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:45.560
day I gave the children dinner.
On a Saturday night. It was about

82
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:48.879
11: 30 at night when they
knocked on our door, my mother and

83
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:54.759
I were already asleep. But at
the insistence of the knocks on the door,

84
00:06:55.279 --> 00:07:00.720
my mother got up and went to
see who Edgar and Guadalm were knocking

85
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:03.879
on the door. They looked very
scared. They told my mother that her

86
00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:09.000
mom wasn' t coming back and
she' d never taken so long before.

87
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:14.279
My mother invited them to stay home
that night. They accepted, asked

88
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:18.800
me to accompany them for blankets and
pillows. I followed him into his room

89
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:25.600
and while they were settling their things, we heard the laughter of some children

90
00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:29.800
coming from the well. We turned
towards laughter and saw a red ball bouncing

91
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:35.519
on its own. He jumped quickly
and turned in the air. We were

92
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:41.000
scared and ran to my house.
By that time she was already entering the

93
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:45.879
neighborhood, the mother of the children. When we told her what had just

94
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:50.399
happened to us, the mother told
us that everything was the work of our

95
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:56.600
imagination and that she had arrived late
because her mistress extended her hours. When

96
00:07:56.680 --> 00:08:00.800
I told my mother what we heard
in the well, she told me not

97
00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:05.319
to go to their house at the
moment, for she had heard that the

98
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:09.720
woman sometimes brought in a man of
bad repute who used to beat the poor

99
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:16.319
woman. Besides that if what we
had heard were children, it was most

100
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:20.959
likely something unknown that lived there,
that wanted to attract us to the well.

101
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:26.680
At that time my father came with
a super Nintendo. He lived with

102
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:33.320
us for about fifteen days and then
left so he wouldn' t come back

103
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:35.120
with the video game at home.
My friends were more often with me,

104
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:41.320
which my mother thought was right,
because she did not want me to go

105
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:46.279
back into the children' s department. One day while we were playing,

106
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:50.000
they told me that they had found
several toys by the well. One of

107
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:56.399
them was a doll and another a
robot. His mother didn' t let

108
00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:00.600
them take them and when they found
a couple of balloons moored at the latched

109
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:03.960
door again, she decided to cover
everything around with black bags. He also

110
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:09.799
placed a rosary at the door,
saying that after this nothing was found again,

111
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:13.879
but that Edgar, one night,
as he went to the bathroom,

112
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:18.799
heard as if a child were whistling
to him, but Edgar ignored him and

113
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:24.720
ran into the bathroom. I remember
seeing the man who lived with my friends

114
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:30.399
' mother back then. He was
a bad- looking man, very low

115
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:33.879
in stature, who was almost always
drunk. It wasn' t long before

116
00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:41.480
we heard that man lose control.
One would think that a situation of violence

117
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:46.600
is very common in Mexico, but
that man seemed to be possessed by something

118
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:50.039
very great, as his cries of
rage and hatred were too strong. The

119
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:56.039
wall separating the two departments was rumbling
at his blows. A day without saying

120
00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:00.480
anything. That man also left without
saying to God, the mother of my

121
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:05.679
friends. My mother told me he
was put in jail, but Edgar told

122
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:11.120
me another story. According to him, his mother left them alone with that

123
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:16.320
man, but he was not looking
after them and only sent them to buy

124
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:22.120
beers for him at a warehouse on
the avenue. In one of those laps

125
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:26.279
they found the man screaming in sheer
terror locked in the room. When he

126
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:31.000
finally got out, they saw it
all undone. He kept crying, he

127
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:35.600
was pale, he took his stuff
and he left the boys. They went

128
00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:39.960
to live for a while with their
maternal grandmother, because their mother had problems

129
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:46.679
with alcohol consumption and other substances locked
the woman in a psychiatric clinic, but

130
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:52.960
they continued to pay the rent of
the department. As far as I knew,

131
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:58.600
the patterns of her took care of
all this because they appreciated her very

132
00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:03.679
much. All that time, the
apartment was left alone, but it didn

133
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:07.919
' t seem because from time to
time, while I played in the courtyard,

134
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:13.080
three voices were heard, those of
two children and an adult. Even

135
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:16.879
my mother had to listen. It
was a clear and strong voice. I

136
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:20.399
remember my mother even went to talk
to my aunt to go check out the

137
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:26.360
apartment. My aunt told him that
just in the morning he had been there,

138
00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:30.360
but that if my mother wanted him, I would give him the key

139
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:33.519
to go see anything. My mother
went to check, but said the only

140
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:39.399
weird thing she found was the gate
to the open pit gate, plus there

141
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:45.919
was a pack of wet cigars on
the floor and also a cap. She

142
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:50.759
handed these items over to my aunt
and she ordered her to watch out if

143
00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:54.399
she saw anyone else coming in.
He also gave him a lock with a

144
00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:58.799
chain to place at the entrance of
the apartment. My mother also did or

145
00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:05.720
did not pray several prayers in our
apartment and threw holy water in the direction

146
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:11.320
of the wall shared with apartment six. Several days went by when I practically

147
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:15.960
forgot about my friends and a day
after school, I met them playing in

148
00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:20.879
the neighborhood hallway. When they saw
me, they were excited, because they

149
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:26.600
said they had a surprise for me
when you were a child, I didn

150
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:30.399
’ t pay attention to certain things
and my friends didn’ t even know

151
00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:33.080
what had happened to their mother.
They were happy because their mother bought them

152
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:39.480
a video game console of those that
had several games included I was invited to

153
00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:43.320
play, but I couldn' t
because I was visiting with my grandmother.

154
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:46.879
During the weekend, I was invited
to his apartment, as his mother would

155
00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:52.279
make them a special meal. We
played all day and night, the lady

156
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:56.559
went out to the store, leaving
us alone as we were playing and not

157
00:12:56.559 --> 00:13:00.960
counting. We gave ourselves that the
lady took a while to empty at the

158
00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:05.879
store. Suddenly we hear the laughter
of some children. We also heard the

159
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:11.320
same sound that video games produced on
the TV. We left the room and

160
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:16.639
realized it was too late and the
lady was not coming back. The sound

161
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:20.919
that made us come out was no
longer heard. We barely turned around to

162
00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:26.600
get back to the room. When
the sound returned, the sound came from

163
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:31.480
the well and did not come alone, for at the entrance of the well

164
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:35.320
a light shone as if a television
was on inside. In that we heard

165
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:39.600
the voices of a couple of children
who pronounced our names and invited us to

166
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:46.360
come down and play with them.
From that moment I don' t remember

167
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:48.639
very clearly only that we saw a
man in a gray suit coming out of

168
00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:54.000
the well. He wore his face
painted white, he was bald and his

169
00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:58.559
clothes were silver, something like the
astronaut costumes of the movies black and white,

170
00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:03.360
but with big pompons like those of
a clown his face did not look

171
00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:09.360
normal. It was as if the
same white skin was superimposed, just as

172
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:13.519
a mask made of skin would.
We ran out of the house and met

173
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:18.399
my mother, who was wearing my
aunt in a wheelchair. We told them

174
00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:22.120
what had just happened to us,
but my aunt told us that what was

175
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:28.320
happening was a hallucination for playing so
many video games. At that time Edgar

176
00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:33.399
' s mother arrived and Guadalupe said
she had to return for some things to

177
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:37.440
the house where she works, but
she looked pretty bad, she was pale

178
00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:43.519
and had dilated eyes. Besides,
it stinked of alcohol. That night,

179
00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:48.519
I couldn' t get that man' s shape out of his head in

180
00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:52.960
his silver suit, especially his face. That weekend, my aunt gave us

181
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:58.360
some tickets for a circus that was
put in a vacant lot at the entrance

182
00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:03.240
to the colony. I was very
excited to be able to attend. My

183
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:07.360
mother took me on Sunday The show
started at six o' clock in the

184
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:11.559
afternoon. I enjoyed the whole show
a lot until the clown show came around.

185
00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:16.440
At first everything seemed pretty funny until
I saw one of them wearing a

186
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:22.320
silver suit. He was bald,
with two red strands on each side and

187
00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:28.240
his skin was badly ill- treated, perhaps for having suffered some burning.

188
00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:33.679
As soon as I saw him I
began to tremble that horrible man realized my

189
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:39.320
fear and approached me. At that
moment my mind was erased. I don

190
00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:43.919
' t remember what happened, because
after the man approached me. I just

191
00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:48.879
remember waking up in my house crying
and seeing my visit to the circus as

192
00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:54.519
a nightmare. My mother told me
that I had a seizure and that she

193
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:56.600
would take me to check on a
doctor. I told my mother that I

194
00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:03.080
had lost consciousness because of fear,
because that clown looked like the same one

195
00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:08.120
I saw floating in the pit of
apartment six. When I described the clown,

196
00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:12.600
my mother told me that there was
no clown in the circus that looked

197
00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:18.679
like that and that I did.
Several came out. In my studies they

198
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:25.159
found nothing strange, I was not
sick of anything. I lasted several days

199
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:29.960
without wanting to sleep, and it
is that every time I fell asleep I

200
00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:33.240
repeated that moment in the circus again, the moment when the clown with the

201
00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:38.559
burnt face approached me. Then I
would crawl to a place where there was

202
00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:42.799
plenty of water. Because of this
I preferred not to sleep, but as

203
00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:48.879
at night I used to hear the
laughter of children away, I developed a

204
00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:55.120
phobia of night and loneliness to make
life more difficult. My mother had to

205
00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:59.720
cover several night sales and so that
I wasn' t left alone, she

206
00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:03.639
asked me to stay at my aunt' s house, which I didn'

207
00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:07.640
t want, because if I was
afraid of the pit of Department Six,

208
00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:12.720
my aunt' s house made me
more afraid, because her room was full

209
00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:18.559
of strange religious paintings and especially,
I panicked one where the souls of purgatory

210
00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:25.799
were represented, whom my aunt used
to pray to said that in that way

211
00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:30.599
my aunt got favors to convince me
to offer to pay me to take care

212
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:34.799
of her. Besides, he let
me order pizza on the phone. I

213
00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:38.880
agreed to stay with my aunt.
She was a very affectionate and pleasant person,

214
00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:44.079
but it was really sad to see
how the attacks came to her.

215
00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:49.200
He lost control of his body,
but he kept talking and needed to grab

216
00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:53.799
a person. That way, the
attack was more tolerable. My mother was

217
00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:59.240
helping him. Apart from looking at
the paintings. I was terrified that my

218
00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:02.880
aunt would have an attack when I
was alone with her, because I didn

219
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:07.599
' t really know what to pray
for because I didn' t give her

220
00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:12.200
the attack. Besides, my mother
told me that she didn' t always

221
00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:15.799
have them and it wasn' t
as likely that she would give him that

222
00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:18.559
night. But in case he did, I' d give him a pill

223
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:23.839
in his mouth with some water.
My aunt' s house was a huge

224
00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:30.599
three- story colonial house. The
construction was too strange. They had rooms

225
00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:34.400
so small that they didn' t
even know why they did it, because

226
00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:38.240
there wasn' t even a single
bed there. There was also a spiral

227
00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:42.920
staircase leading to each of the floors, as well as an elevator for the

228
00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:48.599
laundry service itself that was in the
basement where I was not even jokingly planning

229
00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:56.319
to go. My aunt gave me
money to rent some movies that I wanted,

230
00:18:56.759 --> 00:19:00.480
and that' s because on the
corner of my house was a video

231
00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:03.920
center. I had a great evening. I was just trying not to look

232
00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:07.880
at the pictures in the room and
watch the movies, and I was afraid

233
00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:14.000
my aunt would have an attack.
Suddenly I relaxed so much that I fell

234
00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:18.759
asleep in one of the armchairs.
I woke up scared about two o'

235
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:22.359
clock in the morning. My aunt
was also asleep in her wheelchair with her

236
00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:26.559
feet on an armchair. I was
relieved that I didn' t have an

237
00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:33.319
attack on her I wanted to wake
my aunt, but I saw her so

238
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:37.680
calmly sleeping that I felt I shouldn' t. I was just about to

239
00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:41.440
turn off the TV. When I
heard something fall to the floor from the

240
00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:45.799
stairs, I thought my aunt would
wake up, but she didn' t

241
00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:48.480
just roll over to the other side
of the chair. I walked up the

242
00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:52.599
stairs and when I got there I
realized that the sound was because a kind

243
00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:59.119
of trapdoor fell between two steps.
Behind the wall I saw a wooden box

244
00:19:59.920 --> 00:20:03.359
or put my hand in and took
it out inside there were several books,

245
00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:08.440
a bottle of brine with something that
seemed totally undone. Inside the books were

246
00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:14.480
witchcraft. I was scared to see
those things right away. I put the

247
00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:19.079
box back in place. Then I
placed the trapdoor and checked that it had

248
00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:25.720
a mechanism that fixed it to the
wall and to open it it was necessary

249
00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:30.519
to activate the safety of a lever, which made it difficult for it to

250
00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:34.880
open on its own. Suddenly a
gust of wind crossed the room. Then

251
00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:40.759
I saw a dense shadow, so
dense that, despite being in the dark,

252
00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:45.640
it distinguished. That shadow came up
to me and then advanced to my

253
00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:48.799
aunt. At that time, she
stood up from her chair, screamed a

254
00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:53.640
terrible scream, then sat back down
and began presenting one of her attacks,

255
00:20:53.920 --> 00:21:00.799
but this one was different. She
had seen her before and, despite losing

256
00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:04.720
control of her body, tried to
talk to calm down. But on that

257
00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:10.359
occasion she did not speak and the
attack was very violent. Besides, my

258
00:21:10.440 --> 00:21:14.000
aunt' s face got as white
as if she had put on makeup.

259
00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:18.880
My fear became real. My aunt
was in the middle of a very strong

260
00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:22.039
attack and I petrified myself. I
remembered what my mother told me to give

261
00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:27.119
her the pill and water. I
went for the medication and a glass of

262
00:21:27.119 --> 00:21:32.240
water. When I came back,
my aunt had her head rolled unnaturally.

263
00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:37.039
The attack was over, but something
wasn' t right. My aunt'

264
00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:41.680
s face didn' t look like
hers. I kept that white color and

265
00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:45.200
a sinister smile that I thought I' d seen somewhere else. At that

266
00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:49.759
time I remembered it was the same
face of the man we saw in the

267
00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:55.920
well. Terror took over me.
I dropped the glass and the pill.

268
00:21:56.519 --> 00:22:03.759
Then I desperately screamed my aunt'
s face back to normal. Then he

269
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:08.960
tried to calm me down, but
I couldn' t control myself and wanted

270
00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:12.000
to tell him what had just happened. I didn' t know how to

271
00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:18.440
tell her that her face wasn'
t hers and that I saw clearly how

272
00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:22.200
an evil entity entered her. I
decided to lie to her I told her

273
00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:25.680
I was scared and crying because I
saw her having an attack and I didn

274
00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:26.839
' t know what to do.
My aunt asked me to hug her.

275
00:22:27.480 --> 00:22:33.559
Then he tried to calm me down
by saying that sometimes it happened to him

276
00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:38.200
in his sleep. Then he asked
me to give him his pill. After

277
00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:41.960
ten minutes my mother arrived. After
I put my aunt in her bed.

278
00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:48.000
He took me to our apartment.
I didn' t sleep again. I

279
00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:52.599
also didn' t want to tell
my mother what had just happened. The

280
00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:56.519
next day, my mother rested and
while giving me breakfast, I told her

281
00:22:56.599 --> 00:23:02.119
about the wooden box I found behind
the stairs, I told her the titles

282
00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:06.799
of the books and what I found
in the jar. My mother told me

283
00:23:06.920 --> 00:23:11.160
that her great aunt, my aunt' s mother, was famous for doing

284
00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:17.039
witchcraft work and that sort of thing. It was for this reason that the

285
00:23:17.079 --> 00:23:21.599
people of the neighborhood said that all
their children went wrong, that it was

286
00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:26.680
a kind of curse that fell on
his family, but that he should not

287
00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:30.960
be afraid of my aunt Rosario,
because she was good in heart and did

288
00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:36.000
not deserve the disease my mother suffered
went to sleep and I stayed playing in

289
00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:40.799
the yard. My mother' s
words resonated in my head, but inside

290
00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:45.319
me I thought that my aunt,
rather than being sick, was stalked by

291
00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:48.680
the unknown evil, hiding in the
well and somehow related to everything that was

292
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:56.519
going on around noon. Edgar and
Guadalupe came and invited me to play at

293
00:23:56.599 --> 00:24:02.839
their house, but I told them
to bring me into the house. They

294
00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:07.400
told me that their mother wouldn'
t let them out, that she gave

295
00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:10.680
them permission to be with them,
but they didn' t want them to

296
00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:15.000
leave. My mother tried to convince
them to stay and, in case her

297
00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:19.200
mother arrived, she would talk to
her. That day they told me that

298
00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:23.039
they had heard the voice of their
stepfather inside the well. He first spoke

299
00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:29.240
kindly to them asking them to go
down with him and then help him up,

300
00:24:29.359 --> 00:24:33.599
because he was adored. As my
friends did not respond, the man

301
00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:37.799
began to threaten them. He told
them that if they did not come down

302
00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:41.240
to help him, when he managed
to escape, he would go up and

303
00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:45.799
down to drown them. They told
her mother and she checked when there was

304
00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:49.640
light, but all she saw were
several of the toys belonging to Edgar and

305
00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:56.680
Guadalupe. This discovery cost them a
good scolding because they were forbidden to approach

306
00:24:56.759 --> 00:25:02.039
the well. As much as the
mother told him. Every time we hear

307
00:25:02.119 --> 00:25:07.880
voices of children inside and as a
man floated inside, he wouldn' t

308
00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:11.400
believe them. As I was told, I was not even paying attention to

309
00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:18.119
them and it was easy to realize
that the mother neglected them, walked dirty

310
00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:21.319
and were very thin. That'
s why my mother gave them food whenever

311
00:25:21.359 --> 00:25:26.640
she could and also gave them ROPA. My mother told us that during the

312
00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:30.880
time they lived in that apartment,
they had to live a hell, not

313
00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:34.640
only because of the scares they gave
their brothers and her, but also that

314
00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:38.880
their father seemed to go crazy every
single one at home. And it'

315
00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:45.400
s just that my maternal grandfather was
working on roads. Then he wasn'

316
00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:51.559
t always home, but when he
was there he behaved like a real madman,

317
00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:56.039
even hitting them and his mother.
When they moved to a larger apartment,

318
00:25:56.440 --> 00:26:02.000
my grandfather calmed down, but soon
he became sick of cancer. At

319
00:26:02.119 --> 00:26:07.519
that time they learned that another family
moved to apartment six and there was a

320
00:26:07.599 --> 00:26:11.519
tragedy in which a little seven-
year- old boy drowned in the well.

321
00:26:14.200 --> 00:26:18.599
Edgar and Guadalupe did not pay attention
to my mother, but I listened

322
00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:23.720
to her and thought that the land
where that apartment was built was cursed.

323
00:26:25.440 --> 00:26:29.519
I didn' t understand how it
was that my friends' mother didn'

324
00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:33.680
t notice. That night the mother
didn' t come back and they slept

325
00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:38.000
in my house. The next day
a very young woman arrived asking about the

326
00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:44.319
children. He showed up as his
aunt was carrying a huge suitcase. He

327
00:26:44.400 --> 00:26:48.519
asked to talk to my mother alone, but I hid behind the door to

328
00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:52.079
hear what they were talking about.
The aunt came to live with the children,

329
00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:56.680
because her mother was locked up in
a rehab clinic, but she didn

330
00:26:56.759 --> 00:27:02.480
' t want her nephews to find
out. She was thinking of lying to

331
00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:04.920
tell them that her mother went to
work for a few months outside. The

332
00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:11.359
woman was pretty pretty. Her name
was Emma. When my friends saw her,

333
00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:15.000
they hugged her tightly. She was
known to love her very much when

334
00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:18.200
she told them the lie about her
mother. Instead of worrying, they were

335
00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:23.519
very happy that Emma took care of
them. I think Emma was between 18

336
00:27:23.559 --> 00:27:30.319
and 20 years old She was very
young. During the time Emma was with

337
00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:37.200
them, the bad energies of department
six seemed to calm down because nothing strange

338
00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:44.160
or tragic happened and I was practically
every day with them. The mother returned,

339
00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:48.880
but Emma decided to stay because she
feared that her sister would fall into

340
00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:52.079
vices. Emma, after a year
of living in the neighborhood, ended up

341
00:27:52.119 --> 00:27:57.400
living with a man. Edgar and
Guadeloupe' s mother had not fallen into

342
00:27:57.440 --> 00:28:03.319
vices either or walked with anyone.
She seemed calm. He even usually took

343
00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:10.079
his children to Mass on Sundays.
I know because I was with them and

344
00:28:10.079 --> 00:28:15.000
going out. The lady took us
to the games outside the square. One

345
00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:18.480
day I took my video game home. Her mother made us cookies in an

346
00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:23.880
electric oven she just bought. He
made us the cookies at night. Then

347
00:28:23.960 --> 00:28:29.240
he wanted to send Edgar to the
store, but seeing him so entertaining,

348
00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:33.400
he told us that he would go
to her he needed to buy milk to

349
00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:37.720
drink along with the cookies. When
my friends' mother left, I felt

350
00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:44.039
as if everything outside was quieter than
normal. I didn' t hear a

351
00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:48.039
cricket or a bird' s song. It was a silence that felt heavy.

352
00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:52.920
Then we hear the laughter of the
children again. We stood up as

353
00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:56.880
if we felt what was about to
happen. We tried to run out of

354
00:28:56.880 --> 00:29:03.119
his room, but a windfake rz
closed the door to us in fury.

355
00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:07.480
Then the focus began to blink,
ended up shutting down. Then it went

356
00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:14.799
back on with more brightness than normal. One might think that this would be

357
00:29:14.880 --> 00:29:21.240
normal in an electrical overload, but
we listened as if the switch was pressed

358
00:29:21.319 --> 00:29:26.640
Again and again outside the children'
s laughter was heard and we were also

359
00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:30.039
told to play with them. We
approached the door, tried to open it,

360
00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:36.359
but it opened itself. We ran
out, but we couldn' t

361
00:29:36.440 --> 00:29:41.000
help but turn towards the well.
We noticed the lock and chain were on

362
00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:45.079
the floor. The door that prevented
the entrance was open and there, outside

363
00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:49.960
the well, was that creature,
with that hideous mask, the same face

364
00:29:51.400 --> 00:29:56.759
that I saw in my aunt that
terrible night. At that moment I do

365
00:29:56.880 --> 00:30:00.039
not remember what happened my mind is
erased at that point. From there the

366
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:06.759
memory of my life passes until the
moment we change our homes. I think

367
00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:11.680
my mind repressed everything. For a
long time I had an insomnia crisis,

368
00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:17.240
but this time my mother took me
to the doctor and ended up giving me

369
00:30:17.279 --> 00:30:19.960
a medicine that left me very badly
during the day. Besides, when I

370
00:30:19.960 --> 00:30:23.839
was dreaming, I remembered everything I
had lived through, especially everything that happened

371
00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:29.720
to me in the circus, my
aunt' s incident and that last encounter

372
00:30:29.720 --> 00:30:33.400
in well one. I could believe
that the encounter with that being could be

373
00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:37.319
because of a child' s imagination, but in this last encounter we were

374
00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:42.519
three children who saw that being.
Edgar says that at that moment he and

375
00:30:42.599 --> 00:30:48.400
Guadalupe ran out of the apartment very
scared and when they looked away at the

376
00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:53.359
entrance, they noticed that I had
not left, but they were afraid to

377
00:30:53.440 --> 00:30:57.160
approach the place and see that thing
again. It wasn' t until her

378
00:30:57.200 --> 00:31:02.200
mother arrived, that she went to
her house and found me lying down,

379
00:31:02.799 --> 00:31:07.480
I found my eyes turned and vomited
I woke up in a hospital. My

380
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:11.559
mother was crying with my aunt.
Out of the way. They started asking

381
00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:15.000
me what had happened and if I
had ingested something in my friends' house.

382
00:31:17.359 --> 00:31:21.279
My mom started blaming their mom because
she thought she had ingested some substance

383
00:31:21.319 --> 00:31:26.519
she used to consume. But I
said no, and I told her all

384
00:31:26.640 --> 00:31:30.240
the last thing I remembered. My
mom didn' t take it anymore,

385
00:31:32.279 --> 00:31:37.960
since she knew bad things were going
on there, too, and that was

386
00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:41.599
really affecting me. He preferred that
we move somewhere else. I didn'

387
00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:47.200
t want it to affect me any
more with whatever lived there. We moved

388
00:31:47.240 --> 00:31:52.319
to apartments close to my aunt'
s. She was helping us with the

389
00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:56.079
expenses because, even though we moved, my mom was still going to help

390
00:31:56.359 --> 00:31:59.759
him and my aunt was paying him. That' s why my mom wouldn

391
00:31:59.799 --> 00:32:04.880
' t leave a bar for me
to go into the apartment for fear that

392
00:32:05.079 --> 00:32:09.200
I might get some other seizure from
a panic attack and that I might suffer

393
00:32:09.200 --> 00:32:13.079
more than just fainting. I didn' t see Edgar and Guadalupe anymore.

394
00:32:13.680 --> 00:32:16.720
The last thing I heard about them
is that one night their mom was very

395
00:32:16.759 --> 00:32:22.920
upset, waking up all the neighbors. My aunt watched them running out of

396
00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:30.000
the neighborhood so they wouldn' t
come back until days later for their belongings

397
00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:32.119
and we didn' t hear from
them again. Nor was it known what

398
00:32:32.240 --> 00:32:37.319
caused her to leave the place so
terrified, but I am sure she had

399
00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:45.799
an encounter with the being that we
had seen. Story written and adapted by
