1
00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:09.279
Since I was sixteen years old,
I entered a convent like Novice. It
2
00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:13.240
was not easy for my parents to
accept that I wanted to consecrate my life
3
00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:17.760
to God. When I told them
what I was planning to do, they
4
00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:21.000
sent me for a month to their
parents' house. When I got to
5
00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:24.960
my grandmother' s house, she
already knew what my intentions were. In
6
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:30.120
general, they were a family of
customs rooted in Catholicism. I didn'
7
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:35.679
t like the idea of my parents
sending me to town. One morning I
8
00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:40.960
found myself recharged in the trunk of
a tree reading when I thought I saw
9
00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:45.799
someone swimming deep in the river,
dropped the Bible and paid attention to the
10
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:50.359
water. Since it was the time
of Rain, the river carried a lot
11
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:56.200
of water, it was only able
to distinguish a shadow that submerged and immediately
12
00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:59.159
left for a few seconds. The
water from the river was brown because the
13
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:03.480
rain from the previous night overturned the
water. Still I could see someone in
14
00:01:03.519 --> 00:01:08.280
the water. Then I lost sight
of the person who was swimming. For
15
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:14.239
a moment I thought he drowned,
but that would have happened. I couldn
16
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:18.760
' t do anything for him because
I couldn' t swim. I was
17
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:23.840
attentive to the water without seeing anyone. Suddenly I heard a whisper behind the
18
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:30.040
tree trunk. I didn' t
distinguish what he said, but I could
19
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:34.760
hear a voice that spoke to me
by my name when I turned around to
20
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:38.879
know who it was there was a
big, completely dark being with bright eyes
21
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.079
that looked at me with a macabre
smile. The first thing I thought about
22
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:46.280
was asking him to stay away in
God' s name. I pulled out
23
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:49.680
my little wooden cross that was always
around my neck and showed it to him.
24
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:55.439
But that being continued to laugh as
if it did not cause him any
25
00:01:55.439 --> 00:02:00.120
harm. My protection. In a
moment he disappeared. I immediately left the
26
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:05.840
river and told my grandmother what happened
to me. She told me that surely
27
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:09.479
the one who was most upset because
he wanted to be a nun was the
28
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:14.280
devil, as he was losing a
possible soul for his hare. The best
29
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:17.719
thing was to always be protected.
He pulled out a very nice cross.
30
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:22.719
He told me it was a special
memory of his mother. She was always
31
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:28.240
a very devoted person. That cross
was blessed and very miraculous. She asked
32
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:31.159
me to always bring her with me, because all the time she' d
33
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:35.120
be taking care of me. I
grabbed the cross my grandmother gave me and
34
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:38.120
put it in my suitcase. I
didn' t agree with what he said
35
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:42.840
to me. I went with the
Father of the Church and told him why
36
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:46.199
I was in the village. My
parents disagreed that I wanted to dedicate my
37
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:52.639
life to God. The Father asked
me to assist him during the Mass so
38
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:55.639
that I might become involved in the
Ministry of God. That' s how
39
00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:00.280
I started going to the parish every
morning. He arrived half an hour earlier
40
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:06.039
to give the bells of the Mass. As I pulled the rope, I
41
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:09.280
heard again a whisper from behind me, as if someone was talking to me,
42
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:15.879
but I saw no one. Only
that muted voice kept muttering something at
43
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:20.840
that time. The Church was still
alone. The sacristan was the only one
44
00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:23.560
who was there. I went looking
for him to tell him he was afraid.
45
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:29.639
He was at the altar accommodating all
the utensils the father needed to offer
46
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:35.520
the Mass. I came running to
tell him there was someone in the bell
47
00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:38.199
tower, but he didn' t
even listen to me. He kept taking
48
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:43.159
out the gold objects. I told
him to come with me so you can
49
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:46.360
see him. I was whispering in
my ear and at that time there was
50
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:52.159
no one else with me. He
told me it was probably the wind and
51
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:55.080
he had me confused. I didn' t tell him anything anymore. I
52
00:03:55.120 --> 00:04:00.000
went up cautiously to give the second
call to mass myself as I turned everywhere
53
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:06.879
hoping to see that dark silhouette that
no longer appeared. I was convincing myself
54
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:11.719
that that dark being. I didn' t want him to make my vows
55
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:15.439
to God. My faith was firm, of course I was afraid as soon
56
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:19.720
as I saw that the priest arrived
I approached him with fear. I told
57
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:24.959
him what was happening to me.
Don' t worry, child, evil
58
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:29.199
will be stalking you because you feel
a lost soul. Stay firm in your
59
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:31.920
faith. As long as you believe
in God, he' ll take care
60
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:38.079
of you and protect you. When
my parents were convinced that I really wanted
61
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:42.360
to be part of Jesus' family, they gave me the opportunity to go
62
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:46.360
to the convent. In addition to
the prayer and learning that they gave us
63
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:50.560
in the convent, we also served
in a hospital During the day. Our
64
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:57.199
job was to help medical staff and
care for those sick who had no family
65
00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:00.319
members. As the convent was behind
the one in the hospital. At night
66
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:05.600
it was dark only with the light
necessary for people to work on a regular
67
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:12.000
basis. I liked staying late in
the chapel. It was a place where
68
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:15.360
I felt calm and peaceful. I
wasn' t always praying. Sometimes I
69
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:21.519
just remained silent to sort my thoughts
out. There were certain restrictions with the
70
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:27.399
schedules and activities that had to be
carried out within the convent, but I
71
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:31.040
told the superior mother that I felt
very well being in the chapel. She
72
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:36.000
agreed and gave me leave to be
there as long as I wanted. One
73
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:42.040
of those nights I was sitting on
the front bench, I heard steps inside
74
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:46.639
the chapel. I thought it was
some partner who had insomnia, but it
75
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:53.000
wasn' t. The steps kept
listening to him clearly stopped at the side
76
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:58.079
of the bench. I turned to
see who he was and there he was
77
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:01.639
again, with his great height and
his maleficent smile on his lips, I
78
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:06.319
made myself to the other side of
the bench to avoid his closeness. He
79
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:12.879
didn' t do anything about it, he just stared at me with the
80
00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:16.600
same smile. He did so for
a few seconds and left. He couldn
81
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:21.439
' t understand what that act of
presence was or what his intention was,
82
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:27.079
because if he wanted to hurt me, he would have done it, but
83
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:30.920
it didn' t happen. I
stayed longer praying for help from God.
84
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:36.199
As I walked through the halls,
I was afraid to find him again almost
85
00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:41.519
everything was in darkness. Only the
dim light of the courtyard lit up the
86
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:46.800
room. I stayed between the plants
hidden when I saw that there was no
87
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:50.759
one, I quickly left the place. I had another girl of the same
88
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:57.160
age as me as a roommate.
Letti felt when I ran in, sat
89
00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:02.040
on the bed waiting for an explanation. I was sorry to tell you that
90
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:05.399
I had seen the same demon in
front of me. I was sorry to
91
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:11.680
say it because I thought I was
responsible for her appearing to me. Surely
92
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:16.639
some of my thoughts or actions had
been wrong. That' s why I
93
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:21.079
was being harassed for my misconduct,
but as the days went by I realized
94
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:27.040
that that wasn' t the real
reason I showed up. He had other
95
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:30.920
intentions and he wasn' t exactly
with me. I stopped going to pray
96
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:35.519
after hours of the night. The
reason was not to meet the devil.
97
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:40.879
It took me a long time to
talk about what was happening to me with
98
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:45.319
the convent authorities. I was afraid
that they would hold me responsible, that
99
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:49.000
I was the one who had brought
him to the convent, because since before
100
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:53.079
entering he had already appeared to me
in the village. He had a very
101
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:57.639
great doubt, as it was possible
that in a place where there was so
102
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:03.240
much prayer and dedicated to the ministry
of service to the sick, an evil
103
00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:07.360
being could appear in that place.
The following nights I never saw him again
104
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:13.600
I understood it because I stopped leaving
my room so late, but I kept
105
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:18.680
praying inside. Holy Week was approaching
and they were days of fasting and constant
106
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:24.639
prayer, because it was when the
devil went out to do more evils.
107
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:30.639
On Sunday of bouquets we each stay
with our blessed palm. I put it
108
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:35.000
at the head of my bed and
Letti did the same. We had activities
109
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:39.440
for every day. We fell asleep
early. However, after a while of
110
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:45.399
being asleep I heard noises outside in
the central courtyard of the convent, I
111
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:50.039
looked in the window facing the courtyard
and could see a shadow moving quickly.
112
00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:56.639
I assumed it was the evil one. I closed the curtain because I was
113
00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:58.759
so afraid to see it. I
was afraid my soul would be at risk.
114
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:05.120
I began to pray in the individual
oratory in front of the image of
115
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:09.879
the sacred heart of Jesus. Letti
was asleep, so I did everything in
116
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:15.440
complete silence. Praying that that being
would leave me alone, for I felt
117
00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:18.600
that I was going after my soul. I noticed when Letti started making a
118
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:24.679
lot of noises. I looked like
I had a nightmare, but I noticed
119
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:28.200
something that startled me. It was
not a bad dream, but an erotic
120
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:35.080
one that gave her pleasure I approached
her to try to wake her up and
121
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:41.000
to stop having obsenus dreams on the
wall I could see the silhouette of the
122
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:46.200
demon that possessed my companion. Letti. I ran out of the room and
123
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:52.279
knocked on the door insistently on Mother
SUPERIORA She went out dressed in a white
124
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:56.879
nightgown and I told her that there
was the evil one in the room.
125
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:01.480
I didn' t dare say the
rest. The mother accompanied me to my
126
00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:07.360
room by then. Letty was deep
asleep. I woke her up and asked
127
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:11.159
her what had happened, because she
was very restless. I was afraid something
128
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:18.320
bad would happen to him. Letty
answered with no malice saying everything was fine.
129
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:22.159
I didn' t remember any kind
of sleep. The mother asked me
130
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:26.080
to calm down and concentrate on praying
more. It was a difficult week,
131
00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:33.320
because evil was always lurking. The
best thing was to stay in prayer and
132
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:37.879
with your mind in order right away. He went to his room. Letty
133
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:43.159
asked me if everything was okay.
I said yes. I didn' t
134
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:46.039
want to tell you anything about what
I saw. On the contrary, I
135
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:50.200
did not want to frighten her,
let alone predispose her confidence. We went
136
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:56.559
to sleep. I couldn' t
stick my eyes all night. I was
137
00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:01.519
afraid that at any moment evil would
return. When the sun came in,
138
00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:07.120
I felt calmer. He had always
related evil to the darkness of the night.
139
00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:13.399
I thought at least during the day
everything would be fine. Very carefully
140
00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:18.519
he watched Letti fear for his well- being the joyous way with the rest
141
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:24.200
of the novices. Very early in
the morning, at six o' clock
142
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:28.120
our routine began with a cold bath
and prayer at six thirty o' clock
143
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:33.519
so we could start Mass at seven
o' clock in the morning. Then
144
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:39.159
we looked at the patients and the
patients who only attended the consultation we directed
145
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:45.639
them to where they should go,
as well as to draw blood for the
146
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:50.120
tests and give injections when necessary.
For the novices. Our turn to assist
147
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:54.919
the sick. It was until three
in the afternoon. After eating, they
148
00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:00.000
gave us two hours off to do
what we wanted, either to decire,
149
00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:03.080
to tire, to read or to
talk with some other of the compañeras.
150
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:09.399
At six the rosary began and at
seven the Mass followed by going to our
151
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:15.039
rooms to be in meditation and peace. He watched Letti all the time to
152
00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:18.759
see if he had any changes in
his behavior. That day was normal,
153
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:24.840
quiet as ever. At nine o' clock at night, they gave us
154
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:28.159
the indication to enter our rooms.
I went to the room and prepared to
155
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:33.559
pray very close to the window.
While doing so, I noticed Letti taking
156
00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:37.879
off her clothes and being completely naked. I asked him what. It happened
157
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:45.480
to her that she dressed where her
education was, but she let go laughing
158
00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:48.600
as if she had said something funny
to her. You don' t have
159
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:52.320
to be scared of the human body. We all have the same thing.
160
00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:54.440
That' s how God made us
little by little you don' t have
161
00:12:54.440 --> 00:13:00.279
this. Then he sat on the
bed without covering himself and started smoking a
162
00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:05.120
cigarette. I had no idea where
I got it. He came up with
163
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:09.600
me and poured all the smoke on
my face. I walked away from her,
164
00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:15.600
telling her to calm down. His
behavior was inappropriate. He must confess
165
00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:20.080
and return to the path of prayer. Difficult days came and she did not
166
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:24.840
prepare herself for the temptations of the
evil one. He didn' t answer
167
00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:31.639
anything He just saw me in a
strange way Those who try to get into
168
00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:35.840
your spirit. I swerved my gaze
because I couldn' t hold it.
169
00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:39.399
I was afraid of what I saw
in her. I followed every step of
170
00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:46.120
Letti. His behavior was completely normal. He prayed in the morning, went
171
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:50.159
to Mass on seven in the morning
and spent time caring for the sick with
172
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:56.720
kindness. If I wasn' t
sure what I' d seen, I
173
00:13:56.080 --> 00:14:01.360
could make sure she was okay.
I just noticed in her a strange thing.
174
00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:05.679
When consuming our food, we sat
in a large lounge with long tables.
175
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:13.080
Letti always sat in front of me. I could observe what I was
176
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:16.799
doing while we were eating. I
noticed I almost didn' t eat anything.
177
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:20.960
Most of the food was kept inside
a bag that led to the moment
178
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:26.879
of picking up our frets. His
plate was empty. The reality was that
179
00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:31.759
I hadn' t ingested anything.
I didn' t say anything not to
180
00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:35.519
put her on alert. On the
contrary, he gave her the confidence to
181
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:39.720
tell me what was going on with
her, but she told me almost nothing.
182
00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:45.879
She became quieter and more isolated.
After we picked up our dirty dishes,
183
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:50.519
they gave us 15 minutes to go
to the bathroom or relax a little.
184
00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:54.519
Letti went straight to the room.
I stayed in the yard. I
185
00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:58.000
didn' t want to come in
because he' d realize I was watching
186
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:01.960
her. I didn' t know
what he did inside the room, but
187
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:05.679
he came out smiling. I got
the impression that he was hiding something in
188
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:11.720
his hands because when he opened the
door, he turned everywhere to realize that
189
00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:16.519
there was no one in the hallway. Right away. He went into the
190
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:22.080
backyard. I could not follow her
because soon they gave the bell to receive
191
00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:26.360
the religion class. But as soon
as I had a chance, I went
192
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:31.240
to the yard. The courtyard was
a place with roses of different colors.
193
00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:37.559
It had concrete spaces with stone to
walk through the flowers. I carefully checked
194
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:43.159
every space without finding anything. Until
I saw a mound of dirt. It
195
00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:48.600
was evident that they had digged there. The earth was felt removed. Before
196
00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:52.399
acting, I went to the door
to check if anyone could see me,
197
00:15:54.000 --> 00:16:00.279
but all my companions were in the
central courtyard with great care. I dug
198
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:03.440
to see what it was about.
I couldn' t believe what I saw
199
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:07.279
in the well wrapped in a handkerchief
was the blessed wooden rosary they gave us
200
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:12.200
all at the time of entering.
It was the symbol that we acquired the
201
00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:17.720
commitment to pray it every day.
They also gave us a picture of Santa
202
00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:22.159
Vicenta. She was in charge of
protecting us from the adversities and temptations of
203
00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:29.240
the evil one. From the beginning
we were told that she was like our
204
00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:33.080
godmother to whom we could ask for
any help, and she would give it
205
00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:37.360
to us because she was very happy
that we were part of that congregation.
206
00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:42.679
I failed to say that the rosary
with coffee wood beads was cut into many
207
00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:48.600
pieces. I heard voices coming from
the hallway. I quickly buried the blessed
208
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:52.440
objects and withdrew from the place.
It was he who came along with other
209
00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:59.480
companions. Apparently there were jokes because
they were so funny. Letti was in
210
00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:06.200
charge of keeping two other girls entertained. When they came with me, they
211
00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:08.559
asked me what was happening to me
because they noticed the paleness on my face.
212
00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:14.759
I couldn' t hide the surprise
I took in finding the sacred objects
213
00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:18.160
in that state. Letti said,
now it' s your turn to tell
214
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:25.079
everything you left out before entering the
convent. Tell us about your boyfriend or
215
00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:30.720
something bad you did that forced your
parents into this place. She didn'
216
00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:36.400
t respond to her insinuations, but
if I could tell that the reason she
217
00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:40.480
had to be in the convent wasn' t the same as mine, no
218
00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:45.359
one had forced me and from what
she said to her, yes, maybe
219
00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:51.279
that was the real reason why the
evil one was stalking her because she was
220
00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:55.680
against her will and so I saw
that she did deny everything or maybe it
221
00:17:56.279 --> 00:18:00.759
was worse. It was not precisely
she who made such an aberration. I
222
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:04.559
asked the superior mother to talk to
her. He met me in the afternoon
223
00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:08.000
at six. I told him all
the details of what was going on with
224
00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:11.839
Letti, about everything he buried.
The mother asked me to show her the
225
00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:17.599
place where I found the rosary and
the image of Santa Vicenta, but when
226
00:18:17.640 --> 00:18:22.200
I searched the earth, there was
nothing left. I told the mother that
227
00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:26.799
I was sure I had seen them
buried, but she began to doubt not
228
00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:32.240
only me, but my sanity,
so she imposed a kind of punishment on
229
00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:36.599
me that I had to pray for
longer. He took me to the chapel
230
00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:41.960
of the Most Holy and asked me
to stay there for an hour. She
231
00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:44.799
' d come back for me.
From what the mother superior told me.
232
00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:48.000
I realized you didn' t believe
me, I didn' t want to
233
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:52.440
talk anymore. I was in the
chapel of the Blessed Sacrament looking for an
234
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:56.240
explanation of what was happening. Rather
than being in prayer, he analyzed each
235
00:18:56.240 --> 00:19:00.559
of the details of what happened.
Looking for her to help my partner because
236
00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:07.519
I had no doubt that the evil
was inside her. After a while,
237
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:12.440
I heard a few steps inside the
chapel. I assumed she was the superior
238
00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:18.079
mother to take me back to my
room. I persected myself and got up
239
00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:22.359
to retire, but it wasn'
t the mother. There was no one
240
00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:26.359
inside. I was just listening to
the footsteps that someone was inside the place.
241
00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:32.240
It started to get cold and a
smell spoiled. It started flooding the
242
00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:38.119
entire space. I looked everywhere because
I was afraid that the horrible image of
243
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:45.480
the devil would appear unexpectedly. I
felt my shoulder touched and I jumped scared
244
00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:49.920
calm. Letti told me the superior
mother sent me to come for you.
245
00:19:51.559 --> 00:19:56.039
He told me that the time had
passed for you to reflect and stop inventing
246
00:19:56.079 --> 00:19:59.680
lies about me. Let' s
go and pull my hand. No,
247
00:19:59.279 --> 00:20:02.559
no, no, I can assure
you what I felt the moment Letty grabbed
248
00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:07.240
my arm. She was freezing and
pressed me so hard that she left me
249
00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:12.000
a bruise. I asked him to
let me go because he hurt me,
250
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:15.279
but he didn' t listen to
me. He only said with an unknown
251
00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:21.960
voice that that was the least that
could happen to me If I kept getting
252
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:25.400
into his business right away, it
was again the same loving let as ever.
253
00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:30.119
He let me go and we walked
slowly. I really didn' t
254
00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:34.119
want to sleep with her in the
same room anymore, but I didn'
255
00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:37.000
t know what to do. The
superior mother didn' t give credit to
256
00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:42.839
my words and Letti or what was
inside her was clever enough for everything she
257
00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:49.599
spoke against me. I remembered that
the following Sunday was visiting day. I
258
00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:55.160
would ask my parents for their support
and, if necessary, even if I
259
00:20:55.160 --> 00:21:00.240
did not want to, I would
leave the convent the following night was Holy
260
00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:03.880
Thursday and we had many activities to
perform. At first I couldn' t
261
00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:08.559
sleep because of the fear I had, but Letti was calm. She fell
262
00:21:08.640 --> 00:21:15.519
asleep very soon It took me longer. I tried, but in the face
263
00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:19.640
of any movement or noise I was
immediately lifted. There was a moment when
264
00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:25.759
I fell deeply asleep until the sound
of a few blows woke me up.
265
00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:32.319
The first thing I did was look
for Lett in her bed, but she
266
00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:36.319
wasn' t there. I sat
down and looked around, but I didn
267
00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:38.519
' t find her either. Without
putting on my shoes, I looked up
268
00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:44.839
at the window. Maybe he had
gone out into the yard again I heard
269
00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:48.920
someone was inside. When I looked
at Letti' s bed underneath, she
270
00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:53.119
was like a spider and with her
head twisted looking at me, I couldn
271
00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:56.440
' t help it. It was
so much fear that I screamed very loudly.
272
00:21:56.680 --> 00:22:02.039
Letti signaled me to keep quiet with
her finger and started crawling out of
273
00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:08.079
bed. I was petrified, I
couldn' t scream anymore. I felt
274
00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:11.839
something stuck in my throat that wouldn' t allow me to make any sound.
275
00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:17.920
I was standing at the door intending
to leave, but lett or what
276
00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:23.440
was inside her realized my intentions.
His mouth seemed more elongated than normal and
277
00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:30.799
his eyes completely black. The room
had been filled with a ruined tufo and
278
00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:37.160
it was cold. The temperature had
dropped a lot. Letty was moving slowly
279
00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:41.480
toward me when I was very close. He opened his mouth and brought it
280
00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:47.119
to my face. That' s
when I started to understand the whole demon
281
00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:51.200
used my friend to get to me. He tried it since the first time
282
00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:55.039
I saw him in the river,
or at least that' s what I
283
00:22:55.160 --> 00:22:57.640
thought I wanted to move without getting
it. There was an instant when I
284
00:22:57.720 --> 00:23:02.240
lost my senses I didn' t
know anymore I woke up. In the
285
00:23:02.359 --> 00:23:07.559
medical room. It was on the
stretcher. By my side was the superior
286
00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:11.480
mother. I wanted to try to
get up, but I couldn' t.
287
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:15.559
I felt a very severe headache.
I had so many questions to ask.
288
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:19.799
Surely, the mother noticed my anxiety, asked me to calm down.
289
00:23:21.559 --> 00:23:26.039
She offered me an apology for not
believing that it wasn' t for someone
290
00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:30.160
who knocked on her door and led
her to my bedroom. I' d
291
00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:34.799
probably be dead when I opened the
door. I couldn' t believe what
292
00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:40.519
I saw. He looked at the
state he was in. Letti shouted a
293
00:23:40.640 --> 00:23:42.839
psalm from the Bible and showed him
the Christ he had on his neck,
294
00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:48.720
but the devil merely smiled. At
that moment something fell out of my hand.
295
00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:55.880
It was a cross that showed it
letti got angry and let me go,
296
00:23:56.039 --> 00:24:00.000
opened the window and jumped. The
next day she was found lying in
297
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:03.960
the backyard in the garden, next
to a small well on the ground,
298
00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:10.119
which she probably did because she pulled
out a small sack with the rosary and
299
00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:15.440
the image of her broken benefactor.
The mother was quiet. When I asked
300
00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:18.960
her what had happened to Letty,
she told me that it was necessary to
301
00:24:19.119 --> 00:24:22.279
call her relatives and to take her
home because they couldn' t help her.
302
00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:27.319
They had to go to a hospital
where she was still hospitalized. I
303
00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:32.480
didn' t know anything about her
until then. The mother was quiet again
304
00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:37.119
until I asked her why I didn' t hurt the evil and my friend
305
00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:42.960
yes, she was thoughtful. He
told me that by showing him the crucifix
306
00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:47.480
I had in my hands, he
had protected me. The truth is,
307
00:24:47.640 --> 00:24:51.200
I didn' t really know what
happened to the crucifix. What I do
308
00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:55.240
believe is that it was an important
element for my well- being. Unfortunately,
309
00:24:55.839 --> 00:25:00.519
before Letti' s family could do
anything, she died. I was
310
00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:03.160
left with the doubt as to what
happened to her soul, whether or not
311
00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:10.319
they were able to release her.
Most likely not. I' m telling
312

00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:09.279
Since I was sixteen years old,
I entered a convent like Novice. It
2
00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:13.240
was not easy for my parents to
accept that I wanted to consecrate my life
3
00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:17.760
to God. When I told them
what I was planning to do, they
4
00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:21.000
sent me for a month to their
parents' house. When I got to
5
00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:24.960
my grandmother' s house, she
already knew what my intentions were. In
6
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:30.120
general, they were a family of
customs rooted in Catholicism. I didn'
7
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:35.679
t like the idea of my parents
sending me to town. One morning I
8
00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:40.960
found myself recharged in the trunk of
a tree reading when I thought I saw
9
00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:45.799
someone swimming deep in the river,
dropped the Bible and paid attention to the
10
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:50.359
water. Since it was the time
of Rain, the river carried a lot
11
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:56.200
of water, it was only able
to distinguish a shadow that submerged and immediately
12
00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:59.159
left for a few seconds. The
water from the river was brown because the
13
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:03.480
rain from the previous night overturned the
water. Still I could see someone in
14
00:01:03.519 --> 00:01:08.280
the water. Then I lost sight
of the person who was swimming. For
15
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:14.239
a moment I thought he drowned,
but that would have happened. I couldn
16
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:18.760
' t do anything for him because
I couldn' t swim. I was
17
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:23.840
attentive to the water without seeing anyone. Suddenly I heard a whisper behind the
18
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:30.040
tree trunk. I didn' t
distinguish what he said, but I could
19
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:34.760
hear a voice that spoke to me
by my name when I turned around to
20
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:38.879
know who it was there was a
big, completely dark being with bright eyes
21
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.079
that looked at me with a macabre
smile. The first thing I thought about
22
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:46.280
was asking him to stay away in
God' s name. I pulled out
23
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:49.680
my little wooden cross that was always
around my neck and showed it to him.
24
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:55.439
But that being continued to laugh as
if it did not cause him any
25
00:01:55.439 --> 00:02:00.120
harm. My protection. In a
moment he disappeared. I immediately left the
26
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:05.840
river and told my grandmother what happened
to me. She told me that surely
27
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:09.479
the one who was most upset because
he wanted to be a nun was the
28
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:14.280
devil, as he was losing a
possible soul for his hare. The best
29
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:17.719
thing was to always be protected.
He pulled out a very nice cross.
30
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:22.719
He told me it was a special
memory of his mother. She was always
31
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:28.240
a very devoted person. That cross
was blessed and very miraculous. She asked
32
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:31.159
me to always bring her with me, because all the time she' d
33
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:35.120
be taking care of me. I
grabbed the cross my grandmother gave me and
34
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:38.120
put it in my suitcase. I
didn' t agree with what he said
35
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:42.840
to me. I went with the
Father of the Church and told him why
36
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:46.199
I was in the village. My
parents disagreed that I wanted to dedicate my
37
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:52.639
life to God. The Father asked
me to assist him during the Mass so
38
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:55.639
that I might become involved in the
Ministry of God. That' s how
39
00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:00.280
I started going to the parish every
morning. He arrived half an hour earlier
40
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:06.039
to give the bells of the Mass. As I pulled the rope, I
41
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:09.280
heard again a whisper from behind me, as if someone was talking to me,
42
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:15.879
but I saw no one. Only
that muted voice kept muttering something at
43
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:20.840
that time. The Church was still
alone. The sacristan was the only one
44
00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:23.560
who was there. I went looking
for him to tell him he was afraid.
45
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:29.639
He was at the altar accommodating all
the utensils the father needed to offer
46
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:35.520
the Mass. I came running to
tell him there was someone in the bell
47
00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:38.199
tower, but he didn' t
even listen to me. He kept taking
48
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:43.159
out the gold objects. I told
him to come with me so you can
49
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:46.360
see him. I was whispering in
my ear and at that time there was
50
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:52.159
no one else with me. He
told me it was probably the wind and
51
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:55.080
he had me confused. I didn' t tell him anything anymore. I
52
00:03:55.120 --> 00:04:00.000
went up cautiously to give the second
call to mass myself as I turned everywhere
53
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:06.879
hoping to see that dark silhouette that
no longer appeared. I was convincing myself
54
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:11.719
that that dark being. I didn' t want him to make my vows
55
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:15.439
to God. My faith was firm, of course I was afraid as soon
56
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:19.720
as I saw that the priest arrived
I approached him with fear. I told
57
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:24.959
him what was happening to me.
Don' t worry, child, evil
58
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:29.199
will be stalking you because you feel
a lost soul. Stay firm in your
59
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:31.920
faith. As long as you believe
in God, he' ll take care
60
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:38.079
of you and protect you. When
my parents were convinced that I really wanted
61
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:42.360
to be part of Jesus' family, they gave me the opportunity to go
62
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:46.360
to the convent. In addition to
the prayer and learning that they gave us
63
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:50.560
in the convent, we also served
in a hospital During the day. Our
64
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:57.199
job was to help medical staff and
care for those sick who had no family
65
00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:00.319
members. As the convent was behind
the one in the hospital. At night
66
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:05.600
it was dark only with the light
necessary for people to work on a regular
67
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:12.000
basis. I liked staying late in
the chapel. It was a place where
68
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:15.360
I felt calm and peaceful. I
wasn' t always praying. Sometimes I
69
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:21.519
just remained silent to sort my thoughts
out. There were certain restrictions with the
70
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:27.399
schedules and activities that had to be
carried out within the convent, but I
71
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:31.040
told the superior mother that I felt
very well being in the chapel. She
72
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:36.000
agreed and gave me leave to be
there as long as I wanted. One
73
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:42.040
of those nights I was sitting on
the front bench, I heard steps inside
74
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:46.639
the chapel. I thought it was
some partner who had insomnia, but it
75
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:53.000
wasn' t. The steps kept
listening to him clearly stopped at the side
76
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:58.079
of the bench. I turned to
see who he was and there he was
77
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:01.639
again, with his great height and
his maleficent smile on his lips, I
78
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:06.319
made myself to the other side of
the bench to avoid his closeness. He
79
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:12.879
didn' t do anything about it, he just stared at me with the
80
00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:16.600
same smile. He did so for
a few seconds and left. He couldn
81
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:21.439
' t understand what that act of
presence was or what his intention was,
82
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:27.079
because if he wanted to hurt me, he would have done it, but
83
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:30.920
it didn' t happen. I
stayed longer praying for help from God.
84
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:36.199
As I walked through the halls,
I was afraid to find him again almost
85
00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:41.519
everything was in darkness. Only the
dim light of the courtyard lit up the
86
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:46.800
room. I stayed between the plants
hidden when I saw that there was no
87
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:50.759
one, I quickly left the place. I had another girl of the same
88
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:57.160
age as me as a roommate.
Letti felt when I ran in, sat
89
00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:02.040
on the bed waiting for an explanation. I was sorry to tell you that
90
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:05.399
I had seen the same demon in
front of me. I was sorry to
91
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:11.680
say it because I thought I was
responsible for her appearing to me. Surely
92
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:16.639
some of my thoughts or actions had
been wrong. That' s why I
93
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:21.079
was being harassed for my misconduct,
but as the days went by I realized
94
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:27.040
that that wasn' t the real
reason I showed up. He had other
95
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:30.920
intentions and he wasn' t exactly
with me. I stopped going to pray
96
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:35.519
after hours of the night. The
reason was not to meet the devil.
97
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:40.879
It took me a long time to
talk about what was happening to me with
98
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:45.319
the convent authorities. I was afraid
that they would hold me responsible, that
99
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:49.000
I was the one who had brought
him to the convent, because since before
100
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:53.079
entering he had already appeared to me
in the village. He had a very
101
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:57.639
great doubt, as it was possible
that in a place where there was so
102
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:03.240
much prayer and dedicated to the ministry
of service to the sick, an evil
103
00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:07.360
being could appear in that place.
The following nights I never saw him again
104
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:13.600
I understood it because I stopped leaving
my room so late, but I kept
105
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:18.680
praying inside. Holy Week was approaching
and they were days of fasting and constant
106
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:24.639
prayer, because it was when the
devil went out to do more evils.
107
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:30.639
On Sunday of bouquets we each stay
with our blessed palm. I put it
108
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:35.000
at the head of my bed and
Letti did the same. We had activities
109
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:39.440
for every day. We fell asleep
early. However, after a while of
110
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:45.399
being asleep I heard noises outside in
the central courtyard of the convent, I
111
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:50.039
looked in the window facing the courtyard
and could see a shadow moving quickly.
112
00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:56.639
I assumed it was the evil one. I closed the curtain because I was
113
00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:58.759
so afraid to see it. I
was afraid my soul would be at risk.
114
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:05.120
I began to pray in the individual
oratory in front of the image of
115
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:09.879
the sacred heart of Jesus. Letti
was asleep, so I did everything in
116
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:15.440
complete silence. Praying that that being
would leave me alone, for I felt
117
00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:18.600
that I was going after my soul. I noticed when Letti started making a
118
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:24.679
lot of noises. I looked like
I had a nightmare, but I noticed
119
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:28.200
something that startled me. It was
not a bad dream, but an erotic
120
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:35.080
one that gave her pleasure I approached
her to try to wake her up and
121
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:41.000
to stop having obsenus dreams on the
wall I could see the silhouette of the
122
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:46.200
demon that possessed my companion. Letti. I ran out of the room and
123
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:52.279
knocked on the door insistently on Mother
SUPERIORA She went out dressed in a white
124
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:56.879
nightgown and I told her that there
was the evil one in the room.
125
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:01.480
I didn' t dare say the
rest. The mother accompanied me to my
126
00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:07.360
room by then. Letty was deep
asleep. I woke her up and asked
127
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:11.159
her what had happened, because she
was very restless. I was afraid something
128
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:18.320
bad would happen to him. Letty
answered with no malice saying everything was fine.
129
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:22.159
I didn' t remember any kind
of sleep. The mother asked me
130
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:26.080
to calm down and concentrate on praying
more. It was a difficult week,
131
00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:33.320
because evil was always lurking. The
best thing was to stay in prayer and
132
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:37.879
with your mind in order right away. He went to his room. Letty
133
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:43.159
asked me if everything was okay.
I said yes. I didn' t
134
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:46.039
want to tell you anything about what
I saw. On the contrary, I
135
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:50.200
did not want to frighten her,
let alone predispose her confidence. We went
136
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:56.559
to sleep. I couldn' t
stick my eyes all night. I was
137
00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:01.519
afraid that at any moment evil would
return. When the sun came in,
138
00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:07.120
I felt calmer. He had always
related evil to the darkness of the night.
139
00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:13.399
I thought at least during the day
everything would be fine. Very carefully
140
00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:18.519
he watched Letti fear for his well- being the joyous way with the rest
141
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:24.200
of the novices. Very early in
the morning, at six o' clock
142
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:28.120
our routine began with a cold bath
and prayer at six thirty o' clock
143
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:33.519
so we could start Mass at seven
o' clock in the morning. Then
144
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:39.159
we looked at the patients and the
patients who only attended the consultation we directed
145
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:45.639
them to where they should go,
as well as to draw blood for the
146
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:50.120
tests and give injections when necessary.
For the novices. Our turn to assist
147
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:54.919
the sick. It was until three
in the afternoon. After eating, they
148
00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:00.000
gave us two hours off to do
what we wanted, either to decire,
149
00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:03.080
to tire, to read or to
talk with some other of the compañeras.
150
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:09.399
At six the rosary began and at
seven the Mass followed by going to our
151
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:15.039
rooms to be in meditation and peace. He watched Letti all the time to
152
00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:18.759
see if he had any changes in
his behavior. That day was normal,
153
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:24.840
quiet as ever. At nine o' clock at night, they gave us
154
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:28.159
the indication to enter our rooms.
I went to the room and prepared to
155
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:33.559
pray very close to the window.
While doing so, I noticed Letti taking
156
00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:37.879
off her clothes and being completely naked. I asked him what. It happened
157
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:45.480
to her that she dressed where her
education was, but she let go laughing
158
00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:48.600
as if she had said something funny
to her. You don' t have
159
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:52.320
to be scared of the human body. We all have the same thing.
160
00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:54.440
That' s how God made us
little by little you don' t have
161
00:12:54.440 --> 00:13:00.279
this. Then he sat on the
bed without covering himself and started smoking a
162
00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:05.120
cigarette. I had no idea where
I got it. He came up with
163
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:09.600
me and poured all the smoke on
my face. I walked away from her,
164
00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:15.600
telling her to calm down. His
behavior was inappropriate. He must confess
165
00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:20.080
and return to the path of prayer. Difficult days came and she did not
166
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:24.840
prepare herself for the temptations of the
evil one. He didn' t answer
167
00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:31.639
anything He just saw me in a
strange way Those who try to get into
168
00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:35.840
your spirit. I swerved my gaze
because I couldn' t hold it.
169
00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:39.399
I was afraid of what I saw
in her. I followed every step of
170
00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:46.120
Letti. His behavior was completely normal. He prayed in the morning, went
171
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:50.159
to Mass on seven in the morning
and spent time caring for the sick with
172
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:56.720
kindness. If I wasn' t
sure what I' d seen, I
173
00:13:56.080 --> 00:14:01.360
could make sure she was okay.
I just noticed in her a strange thing.
174
00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:05.679
When consuming our food, we sat
in a large lounge with long tables.
175
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:13.080
Letti always sat in front of me. I could observe what I was
176
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:16.799
doing while we were eating. I
noticed I almost didn' t eat anything.
177
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:20.960
Most of the food was kept inside
a bag that led to the moment
178
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:26.879
of picking up our frets. His
plate was empty. The reality was that
179
00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:31.759
I hadn' t ingested anything.
I didn' t say anything not to
180
00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:35.519
put her on alert. On the
contrary, he gave her the confidence to
181
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:39.720
tell me what was going on with
her, but she told me almost nothing.
182
00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:45.879
She became quieter and more isolated.
After we picked up our dirty dishes,
183
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:50.519
they gave us 15 minutes to go
to the bathroom or relax a little.
184
00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:54.519
Letti went straight to the room.
I stayed in the yard. I
185
00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:58.000
didn' t want to come in
because he' d realize I was watching
186
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:01.960
her. I didn' t know
what he did inside the room, but
187
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:05.679
he came out smiling. I got
the impression that he was hiding something in
188
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:11.720
his hands because when he opened the
door, he turned everywhere to realize that
189
00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:16.519
there was no one in the hallway. Right away. He went into the
190
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:22.080
backyard. I could not follow her
because soon they gave the bell to receive
191
00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:26.360
the religion class. But as soon
as I had a chance, I went
192
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:31.240
to the yard. The courtyard was
a place with roses of different colors.
193
00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:37.559
It had concrete spaces with stone to
walk through the flowers. I carefully checked
194
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:43.159
every space without finding anything. Until
I saw a mound of dirt. It
195
00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:48.600
was evident that they had digged there. The earth was felt removed. Before
196
00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:52.399
acting, I went to the door
to check if anyone could see me,
197
00:15:54.000 --> 00:16:00.279
but all my companions were in the
central courtyard with great care. I dug
198
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:03.440
to see what it was about.
I couldn' t believe what I saw
199
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:07.279
in the well wrapped in a handkerchief
was the blessed wooden rosary they gave us
200
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:12.200
all at the time of entering.
It was the symbol that we acquired the
201
00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:17.720
commitment to pray it every day.
They also gave us a picture of Santa
202
00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:22.159
Vicenta. She was in charge of
protecting us from the adversities and temptations of
203
00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:29.240
the evil one. From the beginning
we were told that she was like our
204
00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:33.080
godmother to whom we could ask for
any help, and she would give it
205
00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:37.360
to us because she was very happy
that we were part of that congregation.
206
00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:42.679
I failed to say that the rosary
with coffee wood beads was cut into many
207
00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:48.600
pieces. I heard voices coming from
the hallway. I quickly buried the blessed
208
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:52.440
objects and withdrew from the place.
It was he who came along with other
209
00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:59.480
companions. Apparently there were jokes because
they were so funny. Letti was in
210
00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:06.200
charge of keeping two other girls entertained. When they came with me, they
211
00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:08.559
asked me what was happening to me
because they noticed the paleness on my face.
212
00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:14.759
I couldn' t hide the surprise
I took in finding the sacred objects
213
00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:18.160
in that state. Letti said,
now it' s your turn to tell
214
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:25.079
everything you left out before entering the
convent. Tell us about your boyfriend or
215
00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:30.720
something bad you did that forced your
parents into this place. She didn'
216
00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:36.400
t respond to her insinuations, but
if I could tell that the reason she
217
00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:40.480
had to be in the convent wasn' t the same as mine, no
218
00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:45.359
one had forced me and from what
she said to her, yes, maybe
219
00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:51.279
that was the real reason why the
evil one was stalking her because she was
220
00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:55.680
against her will and so I saw
that she did deny everything or maybe it
221
00:17:56.279 --> 00:18:00.759
was worse. It was not precisely
she who made such an aberration. I
222
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:04.559
asked the superior mother to talk to
her. He met me in the afternoon
223
00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:08.000
at six. I told him all
the details of what was going on with
224
00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:11.839
Letti, about everything he buried.
The mother asked me to show her the
225
00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:17.599
place where I found the rosary and
the image of Santa Vicenta, but when
226
00:18:17.640 --> 00:18:22.200
I searched the earth, there was
nothing left. I told the mother that
227
00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:26.799
I was sure I had seen them
buried, but she began to doubt not
228
00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:32.240
only me, but my sanity,
so she imposed a kind of punishment on
229
00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:36.599
me that I had to pray for
longer. He took me to the chapel
230
00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:41.960
of the Most Holy and asked me
to stay there for an hour. She
231
00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:44.799
' d come back for me.
From what the mother superior told me.
232
00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:48.000
I realized you didn' t believe
me, I didn' t want to
233
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:52.440
talk anymore. I was in the
chapel of the Blessed Sacrament looking for an
234
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:56.240
explanation of what was happening. Rather
than being in prayer, he analyzed each
235
00:18:56.240 --> 00:19:00.559
of the details of what happened.
Looking for her to help my partner because
236
00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:07.519
I had no doubt that the evil
was inside her. After a while,
237
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:12.440
I heard a few steps inside the
chapel. I assumed she was the superior
238
00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:18.079
mother to take me back to my
room. I persected myself and got up
239
00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:22.359
to retire, but it wasn'
t the mother. There was no one
240
00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:26.359
inside. I was just listening to
the footsteps that someone was inside the place.
241
00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:32.240
It started to get cold and a
smell spoiled. It started flooding the
242
00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:38.119
entire space. I looked everywhere because
I was afraid that the horrible image of
243
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:45.480
the devil would appear unexpectedly. I
felt my shoulder touched and I jumped scared
244
00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:49.920
calm. Letti told me the superior
mother sent me to come for you.
245
00:19:51.559 --> 00:19:56.039
He told me that the time had
passed for you to reflect and stop inventing
246
00:19:56.079 --> 00:19:59.680
lies about me. Let' s
go and pull my hand. No,
247
00:19:59.279 --> 00:20:02.559
no, no, I can assure
you what I felt the moment Letty grabbed
248
00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:07.240
my arm. She was freezing and
pressed me so hard that she left me
249
00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:12.000
a bruise. I asked him to
let me go because he hurt me,
250
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:15.279
but he didn' t listen to
me. He only said with an unknown
251
00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:21.960
voice that that was the least that
could happen to me If I kept getting
252
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:25.400
into his business right away, it
was again the same loving let as ever.
253
00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:30.119
He let me go and we walked
slowly. I really didn' t
254
00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:34.119
want to sleep with her in the
same room anymore, but I didn'
255
00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:37.000
t know what to do. The
superior mother didn' t give credit to
256
00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:42.839
my words and Letti or what was
inside her was clever enough for everything she
257
00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:49.599
spoke against me. I remembered that
the following Sunday was visiting day. I
258
00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:55.160
would ask my parents for their support
and, if necessary, even if I
259
00:20:55.160 --> 00:21:00.240
did not want to, I would
leave the convent the following night was Holy
260
00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:03.880
Thursday and we had many activities to
perform. At first I couldn' t
261
00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:08.559
sleep because of the fear I had, but Letti was calm. She fell
262
00:21:08.640 --> 00:21:15.519
asleep very soon It took me longer. I tried, but in the face
263
00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:19.640
of any movement or noise I was
immediately lifted. There was a moment when
264
00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:25.759
I fell deeply asleep until the sound
of a few blows woke me up.
265
00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:32.319
The first thing I did was look
for Lett in her bed, but she
266
00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:36.319
wasn' t there. I sat
down and looked around, but I didn
267
00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:38.519
' t find her either. Without
putting on my shoes, I looked up
268
00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:44.839
at the window. Maybe he had
gone out into the yard again I heard
269
00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:48.920
someone was inside. When I looked
at Letti' s bed underneath, she
270
00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:53.119
was like a spider and with her
head twisted looking at me, I couldn
271
00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:56.440
' t help it. It was
so much fear that I screamed very loudly.
272
00:21:56.680 --> 00:22:02.039
Letti signaled me to keep quiet with
her finger and started crawling out of
273
00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:08.079
bed. I was petrified, I
couldn' t scream anymore. I felt
274
00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:11.839
something stuck in my throat that wouldn' t allow me to make any sound.
275
00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:17.920
I was standing at the door intending
to leave, but lett or what
276
00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:23.440
was inside her realized my intentions.
His mouth seemed more elongated than normal and
277
00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:30.799
his eyes completely black. The room
had been filled with a ruined tufo and
278
00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:37.160
it was cold. The temperature had
dropped a lot. Letty was moving slowly
279
00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:41.480
toward me when I was very close. He opened his mouth and brought it
280
00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:47.119
to my face. That' s
when I started to understand the whole demon
281
00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:51.200
used my friend to get to me. He tried it since the first time
282
00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:55.039
I saw him in the river,
or at least that' s what I
283
00:22:55.160 --> 00:22:57.640
thought I wanted to move without getting
it. There was an instant when I
284
00:22:57.720 --> 00:23:02.240
lost my senses I didn' t
know anymore I woke up. In the
285
00:23:02.359 --> 00:23:07.559
medical room. It was on the
stretcher. By my side was the superior
286
00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:11.480
mother. I wanted to try to
get up, but I couldn' t.
287
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:15.559
I felt a very severe headache.
I had so many questions to ask.
288
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:19.799
Surely, the mother noticed my anxiety, asked me to calm down.
289
00:23:21.559 --> 00:23:26.039
She offered me an apology for not
believing that it wasn' t for someone
290
00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:30.160
who knocked on her door and led
her to my bedroom. I' d
291
00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:34.799
probably be dead when I opened the
door. I couldn' t believe what
292
00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:40.519
I saw. He looked at the
state he was in. Letti shouted a
293
00:23:40.640 --> 00:23:42.839
psalm from the Bible and showed him
the Christ he had on his neck,
294
00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:48.720
but the devil merely smiled. At
that moment something fell out of my hand.
295
00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:55.880
It was a cross that showed it
letti got angry and let me go,
296
00:23:56.039 --> 00:24:00.000
opened the window and jumped. The
next day she was found lying in
297
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:03.960
the backyard in the garden, next
to a small well on the ground,
298
00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:10.119
which she probably did because she pulled
out a small sack with the rosary and
299
00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:15.440
the image of her broken benefactor.
The mother was quiet. When I asked
300
00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:18.960
her what had happened to Letty,
she told me that it was necessary to
301
00:24:19.119 --> 00:24:22.279
call her relatives and to take her
home because they couldn' t help her.
302
00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:27.319
They had to go to a hospital
where she was still hospitalized. I
303
00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:32.480
didn' t know anything about her
until then. The mother was quiet again
304
00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:37.119
until I asked her why I didn' t hurt the evil and my friend
305
00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:42.960
yes, she was thoughtful. He
told me that by showing him the crucifix
306
00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:47.480
I had in my hands, he
had protected me. The truth is,
307
00:24:47.640 --> 00:24:51.200
I didn' t really know what
happened to the crucifix. What I do
308
00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:55.240
believe is that it was an important
element for my well- being. Unfortunately,
309
00:24:55.839 --> 00:25:00.519
before Letti' s family could do
anything, she died. I was
310
00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:03.160
left with the doubt as to what
happened to her soul, whether or not
311
00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:10.319
they were able to release her.
Most likely not. I' m telling
312
00:25:10.319 --> 00:25:18.079
you. Written and adapted by Adriana
