El Niño Que Fue Regresado A La Vida Historias De Terror - REDE

1
00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:11.439
He wanted to get up. I
didn' t have much of it that

2
00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:17.120
I had started working and once,
while I was in the hospital, many

3
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:22.160
ambulances arrived because of a huge accident
caused by the wet pavement, because of

4
00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:24.839
the heavy rains that were in that
area because of the bad weather. The

5
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:30.320
accident had left several dead and a
number of injured. The whole hospital by

6
00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:35.119
that time was going crazy and I, being the youngest doctor in this place,

7
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:41.119
was running around trying to be as
helpful as possible. I was asked

8
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:44.479
to go for a couple of things, and the moment I walked into the

9
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:49.000
morgue area, I jumped into the
big surprise I had when I ran into

10
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:54.000
a dead body. I' ve
seen bodies before, but besides I wasn

11
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:58.719
' t expecting to see any bodies
discovered in that place. That was one

12
00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:03.439
of the many who had been in
the accident. His appearance wasn' t

13
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:07.599
the best. I understand that I
can' t be as graphic by this

14
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:12.040
means, but I will say that, in addition to evident openings in part

15
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:18.359
of his face and head, his
eyes seemed very jumpy, almost as if

16
00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:23.359
it wasn' t long before they
got out of his skull and also seemed

17
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:27.000
to be directly oriented towards me,
so the discomfort was even bigger. At

18
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:32.719
the time. I just wanted to
just pick up what I had been given

19
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:37.200
and go back to the others who
needed my help a lot. I continued

20
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:41.439
to help for a while, to
the point that I had even forgotten the

21
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:45.799
small incident with that body, at
least until a doctor asked me to go

22
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:49.239
down to one of the floors below
the hospital, which we called basement,

23
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.920
but it was not a basement.
I had to pick up a couple of

24
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:59.680
missing supplies. Without much thought,
I got on the elevator and went down,

25
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:05.159
but to my misfortune, the electrical
storm that was still falling on the

26
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:07.520
city cut the light out of nowhere, leaving me locked in that elevator.

27
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:13.840
At first I tried to stay calm. After all, hospitals have emergency energy.

28
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:19.800
What I didn' t count on
at the time is that such emergency

29
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:23.840
energy is only destined for important things, such as respirators and some machines.

30
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:30.840
It was about five minutes before I
was in complete darkness. My mind was

31
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:37.400
already starting to create scenarios in my
head that I would stay there locked up

32
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:43.240
for several hours. But all of
a sudden, all these thoughts were interrupted

33
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.800
because I began to feel that I
was no longer alone in that elevator.

34
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:52.479
First it was more like a feeling
and I wanted to attribute it to the

35
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:55.159
fact that it was just my nerves
because of all the stress I had had

36
00:02:55.800 --> 00:03:00.000
that night, in particular, not
to mention that I had not slept very

37
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:02.280
well the previous days either. But
very soon I realized that it could not

38
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:07.560
be just my imagination, since I
could feel very clearly how someone was breathing

39
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:13.759
in a very heavy way, it
was as if it was hard for him

40
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:19.080
to breathe, make many sounds with
his nose and try to pretend that it

41
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:23.319
could be because it was my own
breath. I felt clearly how every time

42
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:29.000
I breathed out the icy air coming
out of their nostrils I would hit my

43
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:31.680
hand. I had no idea what
I should do in those cases, as

44
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:38.319
I knew that when I had gone
up there there was no one and started

45
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:44.000
screaming or panicking would only make the
whole situation worse. I didn' t

46
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:49.479
move even a millimeter. It was
almost as if I had been paralyzed waiting

47
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:54.120
for my destiny, whatever it was
when, suddenly, the light returned.

48
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:59.520
But instead of realizing that I had
always been alone and O O O O

49
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:03.039
O O O O O or I
had been the product of my imagination through

50
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:10.319
the mirror that was still beside the
elevator, I could clearly see how that

51
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:14.800
cadaver with the jumping eyes that I
had seen in the hospital morgue was standing

52
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:18.519
right behind me. Looking at me, I screamed and he went into the

53
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:24.120
mirror almost as if this was some
kind of door. The elevator opened and

54
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:28.680
I got out of that place as
fast as possible. I did not try

55
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:32.759
to tell anyone at the time,
because it was heavy enough to be the

56
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:38.000
new one, as well as to
be catalogued as seeing visions. Besides,

57
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:43.600
right then no one would have paid
attention to my story and by the time

58
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:48.360
all the commotion happened, I also
felt that mine had not been so important

59
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:54.639
anymore. It always stayed in my
memory as the first paranormal event of my

60
00:04:54.759 --> 00:05:00.879
trade. The next one is a
little longer, but I would also say

61
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:03.560
that it is one of the most
interesting. On another occasion, when I

62
00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:09.959
was working for a funeral home that
was also Morgue, something happened to us

63
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:13.360
that not only stayed in my mind, but in that of all of us

64
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:16.759
who were present. I was the
chief doctor of that morgue and on one

65
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:21.360
occasion these people arrived who, in
my view, were unpleasant, because they

66
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:28.759
did not show the least empathy for
the man who took us. Even though

67
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:32.680
they all looked like they had an
excellent economic status, they chose whatever was

68
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:39.360
cheaper. They were not interested in
seeing the coffins either, and as soon

69
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:44.720
as they learned that cremating it was
much cheaper, they decided that that would

70
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:47.480
be the fate of that man.
I can understand that sometimes people do not

71
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:53.439
have the financial solvency, but in
them it was not only that decision,

72
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:59.040
but how they handled all situations,
as well as their attitude towards everything in

73
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:02.199
general. What surprised me most was
when I realized that they were nothing more

74
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:08.120
or less than the children of that
deceased. At first, I totally crossed

75
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:13.000
them out as ungrateful, but shortly
after, my assistant, who was significantly

76
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:18.360
younger, let me know that we
didn' t have the whole story and

77
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:23.600
maybe he wasn' t at all
a good father. They left there and

78
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:29.360
because they didn' t want to
delay, we had everything on the clock

79
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:32.360
and because they said they wanted it
to be as soon as possible. I

80
00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:36.680
hastened my assistant so that everything would
be as fast as possible. I went

81
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:43.160
into the autopsy area and started preparing
all my instruments. While I was entertained

82
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:47.639
in my work, I felt like
someone else was with me in that place

83
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:51.240
right away. I thought it was
about my partner and I hadn' t

84
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:55.199
heard his footsteps. On the way
in. He was the only one who

85
00:06:55.199 --> 00:07:00.480
could be, as the receptionist wore
high heels and listened to the road all

86
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:03.399
over the place. He was very
talkative. He didn' t tell me

87
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:08.839
anything, I didn' t give
him any importance and I kept on doing

88
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:13.360
my thing, but the silence for
me became very heavy, something weird,

89
00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:15.040
since I usually appreciate it, but
I just wanted to break it somehow.

90
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:20.360
I said something like I was ready
to start the autopsy, but he said

91
00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:25.800
no, he didn' t want
it and we shouldn' t do it.

92
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:30.600
This became so strange to me that
I turned around to see it,

93
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:33.759
but to my surprise, there was
no one. There he gave me a

94
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:39.279
chill all over my back and I
even started looking for him anywhere he could

95
00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:44.480
be hiding, but there was nothing
but the body and I, in that

96
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:48.240
place, my disbelief was such that
I was about to tell him to stop

97
00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:55.680
playing and get out of his hiding
place when I suddenly heard footsteps. It

98
00:07:55.759 --> 00:08:01.199
was my assistant who was just arriving
because I had to go to the bathroom

99
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:05.040
before I started. He asked me
what I had why. I looked very

100
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:09.800
pale, but I didn' t
want to scare him by then he was

101
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:11.279
very new and I didn' t
want to burden him. With all that,

102
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:16.360
I just said nothing and that we
should start with the work. Very

103
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:22.800
soon we were both ready to start
preparing the deceased for cremation. Both my

104
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:26.879
assistant and I were about to make
the first incision. When the fire alarm

105
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:33.200
was heard, we both left what
we were doing and went out quickly just

106
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:39.840
to realize that there was no fire
or any other danger threatening us. The

107
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:45.440
receptionist, who was only a few
meters away from the button that lit the

108
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:50.919
alarm, said that she had not
been but that there was no one else

109
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:56.120
there and that she could assure that
she had lit herself. We even checked

110
00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:03.120
the cameras and actually, she was
just sitting there and all of a sudden

111
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:07.279
it just sounded like we figured it
had broken down somehow and we decided it

112
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:11.919
was time to get on with our
work, once we made sure we were

113
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:16.720
okay. But at the time when
both my assistant and I were about to

114
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:20.440
enter the door, it hit so
hard that it almost grabbed my fingers.

115
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:28.320
That was not possible, as,
while there was a window at that time,

116
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:31.440
the weather was too warm for there
to be a breeze strong enough to

117
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:37.639
move a metal door. I started
trying to open it, as it was

118
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:43.799
not difficult to get it on the
outside, but it seemed like it was

119
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:46.320
stuck or at least that I believed
in a beginning. The more I tried,

120
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:50.679
the more I realized it would open
a couple of inches. It seemed

121
00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:56.440
more like someone was trying to hold
her from the other side, I even

122
00:09:56.519 --> 00:10:00.440
told my assistant that I thought someone
had stepped into the morgue area, but

123
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:03.879
as soon as he helped me to
push it, we almost went face to

124
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:07.799
face, because it was as if
suddenly whatever was stopping her, just disappeared

125
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:16.279
and the door opened with the same
ease that she had always done. What

126
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:22.600
we also noticed almost immediately when we
stood up was that that body was covered

127
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:28.360
by a blanket. This was weird, because we had already discovered it when

128
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:31.799
we were about to start with the
autopsy and the moment we left because the

129
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:37.440
alarm had sounded, we didn'
t give ourselves the task of covering it

130
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:41.759
back, but apparently we didn'
t remember it. I didn' t

131
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:45.720
want to make any more comments about
it. I wanted to convince myself that

132
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:50.840
my assistant had been responsible for putting
the blanket back on before I left and,

133
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:54.080
as far as I knew later,
my assistant assumed it was me.

134
00:10:56.039 --> 00:11:00.159
We took the blanket off again and
I noticed that her head is facing in

135
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:05.519
another direction, specifically to the left, when I had left her facing the

136
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:13.759
front. But I didn' t
mean anything either, thinking maybe I was

137
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:18.720
wrong to put his head in the
right position, we started again to prepare

138
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:22.519
everything for cremation. I took the
scalpel and just when I made a slight

139
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:26.840
cut on his chest, the body
moved. Of course, as a medical

140
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:31.360
examiner, he' s jumping out
of the little spasms that come to have

141
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:37.159
the bodies. It' s not
uncommon for them to move an arm,

142
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:41.639
leg, or even for their skin
to seem to beat a little bit,

143
00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:46.559
almost as if they were alive.
But this movement was totally different. It

144
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:50.200
was more like he wanted to move
away from the scalpel. I can'

145
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:56.799
t even be sure because it'
s been a long time since this experience

146
00:11:56.919 --> 00:11:58.440
and the memories may not be entirely
clear. Every time I think about it,

147
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:03.919
I remember he complained and this didn' t stay there, but that

148
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:09.559
body got up it was all very
fast, but what I' m sure

149
00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:13.399
about is that this uprising didn'
t seem to be fully conscious. I

150
00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:18.879
' ll try to explain it as
well as possible, but it was more

151
00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:26.519
like something held him up and made
him get up his movements were very clumsy

152
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:28.399
and his head wasn' t even
upright. He was tilting to different sides,

153
00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:33.440
rising up with such sharpness that from
one moment to the next he was

154
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:37.399
already off the autopsy table and fell
to the ground with great force. Both

155
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:43.000
my partner and I were very scared
and worried, not precisely because we thought

156
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:48.799
this was paranormal, but because at
that time we thought that man was really

157
00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:54.559
alive. And that' s a
very bad thing in our area, because

158
00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:58.639
the hospital that gave him the death
would take a lot of the blame for

159
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:03.879
not doing it right. Without a
doubt, the consequences would also fall on

160
00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:07.480
us immediately. And it is that, in such fresh bodies, we had

161
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:15.399
an obligation to verify it of function
and now that man with apparent life had

162
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:22.600
a scalpel buried in his chest.
There could be serious consequences like lawsuits without

163
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:26.320
wasting time. My partner and I
went to him to pick him up.

164
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:30.879
I will never forget that the moment
we turned him in my direction, I

165
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:37.279
saw that his eyes moved to connect
with mine. This almost makes me let

166
00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:41.240
go. I was totally unbelieving.
His skin felt like that of a dead

167
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:46.200
man. There didn' t seem
to be any kind of circulation or anything

168
00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:52.039
indicating that he was alive, but
at the time we just put him back

169
00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:54.879
on the stretcher. I asked the
gentleman some questions out loud, but he

170
00:13:56.559 --> 00:14:01.200
didn' t answer me. I
started looking for the rial to be able

171
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:03.799
to unlock that scalpel from his chest
and the moment I did, the blood

172
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:09.600
didn' t budge. When the
blood is circulating in the body it is

173
00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:13.039
noticeable, when it sprouts directly and
when one dies, it is different.

174
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:18.279
Of course it comes out, but
it' s not the same pressure and

175
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:22.519
much less the same color, since
oxygen is no longer in our body.

176
00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:26.480
I told my assistant to make a
call directly to the hospital to report all

177
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:33.440
this, as well as to ask
for an ambulance to move him as soon

178
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:39.440
as possible. While I was trying
to revive him, I didn' t

179
00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:43.840
understand exactly what could be going on. The fact that he got up already

180
00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:48.399
indicated that he was alive. My
partner ran and I kept on doing my

181
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:54.120
thing, but at no time during
the healing I did I could not have

182
00:14:54.279 --> 00:15:00.879
enough medical reasons to tell me that
that man was alive. It didn'

183
00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:03.679
t matter how much resuscitation I did. I still couldn' t find a

184
00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:07.159
pulse in it, besides it seemed
like I' d already lost it.

185
00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:13.639
Several hours ago. Suddenly I heard
a big fuss. Outside the receptionist and

186
00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:18.200
my assistant explained to someone who couldn' t get through. But a third

187
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:22.679
voice, which seemed to belong to
a more or less older woman, shouted

188
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:28.159
and said that we had to return
her husband. I didn' t understand

189
00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:31.120
what was going on. Yeah,
I knew I had to get out of

190
00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:35.600
that room and get away from that
dead body if I didn' t want

191
00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:39.200
to go crazy. I went out
to see what was going on and ran

192
00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:45.559
into a woman about the age of
that man. Which as soon as I

193
00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:48.279
got out, it calmed down a
little bit. The first thing she asked

194
00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:52.639
me when she was still upset was
whether we had already cremated her husband.

195
00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:58.879
I said no, and that seemed
to reassure her almost immediately. I don

196
00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:03.840
' t know that we had to
stop the whole process, because your husband

197
00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:10.200
would have a grave, as God
commanded, and he would not be cremated

198
00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:12.559
at all, as that had been
his last wish before he died. We

199
00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:18.799
also explained to her that her children
had signed all this so as not to

200
00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:22.639
get us into trouble, but she
kept insisting that we should stop everything.

201
00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:29.559
She showed us proof that she was
his wife. He also told us that

202
00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:33.200
his children were very ungrateful and that, even though he had tried to give

203
00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:37.519
them everything he could in life for
them, it had never been enough,

204
00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:44.679
and now that he had died,
they were so ambitious that they wanted the

205
00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:49.960
inheritance practically intact. Therefore, they
had cut all the expenses regardless of the

206
00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:56.960
last wish their father had had.
He also told us that she had been

207
00:16:56.080 --> 00:17:02.000
fixing a couple things for the funeral
ceremony and that that' s why her

208
00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:06.799
children took him to the funeral home. Apparently, they didn' t plan

209
00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:11.160
to tell her what her decision had
been, but she told us that while

210
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:17.480
she was doing everything she needed,
she began to have a very ugly feeling

211
00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:18.640
and that' s why she wanted
to go check it out. At first,

212
00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:25.039
they didn' t want to tell
her anything, but she managed to

213
00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:27.960
check what they were going to do
with her body, and there she found

214
00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:33.000
out she was going straight to cremation. He had gone to the funeral home

215
00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:37.599
as quickly as possible in the hope
of stopping him and, for his fortune,

216
00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:41.599
he had succeeded. The truth is
that we didn' t want to

217
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:45.240
tell you anything about the strange events
that had been happening to us at the

218
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:49.319
time. I went back to the
autopsy room and checked all his vital signs

219
00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:55.640
to confirm that he was not alive
and, indeed, as dead as he

220
00:17:55.720 --> 00:18:00.240
had arrived. I got a little
closer to him and told him not to

221
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:04.640
worry anymore, that his wife was
there and he wasn' t going to

222
00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:08.279
let them cremate him and call me
crazy if they wanted to. But to

223
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:12.720
this day I can assure you that, as soon as I told you that,

224
00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:17.599
the whole negative vibe seemed to disappear
from the place. It was as

225
00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:22.680
if all the anxiety or anger or
stress were just gone. After that,

226
00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:27.960
his wife bought a funerary service package
and from us, who had to prepare

227
00:18:29.079 --> 00:18:36.759
it, nothing happened to that man
again. Now we knew that he was

228
00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:47.880
already at peace, for his last
wish had been fulfilled. I say when

229
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:52.200
he' ll leave. This didn' t happen as such in a hospital,

230
00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:56.680
but I was a student to be
a doctor. When I was studying

231
00:18:56.759 --> 00:19:00.920
to get a doctorate, I was
really a very naive and idealistic person.

232
00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:07.839
I mean, I literally felt like
I could make a difference and be able

233
00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:11.599
to influence people' s lives seriously. I thought I' d save millions

234
00:19:11.599 --> 00:19:17.079
of lives. This is one of
the reasons why. As soon as I

235
00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:22.079
started looking for where I should do
my practices, I asked to be sent

236
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:25.880
to one of those distant villages,
where health is very difficult to reach.

237
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:30.000
Not to be a secret to anyone
who practically no doctor wants to go and

238
00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:34.960
do his residency in a place like
that, so it wasn' t hard

239
00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:37.279
for me to get it. My
plan wasn' t to stay there all

240
00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:41.799
my life, but I thought I
did want to start doing something big.

241
00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:47.359
Then I had to start in a
place like this, packed my things and

242
00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:52.160
left for that town for different reasons. I would prefer not to say the

243
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:56.240
name of the people or of any
of the inhabitants, since I honestly fear

244
00:19:56.359 --> 00:20:02.640
for my safety this story that I
am going to narrate next, is something

245
00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:07.160
that not only made me rethink everything
I believed in, but also made me

246
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:14.119
leave the medical career very soon to
finish. When I arrived in the village

247
00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:18.720
I quickly realized that it was a
place with too many shortcomings. I mean

248
00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:22.480
that there was only light in public
buildings and almost no house had an electricity

249
00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:27.920
system and, if that were not
enough, it was also a bit difficult

250
00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:33.519
to get water and the largest and
nearest hospital was a day away, so

251
00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:38.319
if someone got sick, they had
to manage as they could to heal,

252
00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:45.119
since not everyone could afford to travel
there. And not only that, but

253
00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:51.319
if it was a medical emergency that
required an urgent doctor, they didn'

254
00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:56.119
t. For this there was someone
in the village, who, although not

255
00:20:56.440 --> 00:21:02.559
a doctor, was called the healer. He wasn' t exactly a medical

256
00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:07.319
specialist, not even a nurse.
All his remedies were herbal and he also

257
00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:12.279
said he could cure people by just
touching them because he was a powerful sorcerer.

258
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:18.279
When I met him, it made
me feel very bad because, after

259
00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:22.839
a long day helping people with their
medical problems, this man arrived looked quite

260
00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:30.000
healthy. I was a little surprised
that he had come to see me,

261
00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:33.720
but I still asked him if he
had any pain, and he said no

262
00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:38.920
and that he would stop putting ideas
into the people of the village about his

263
00:21:40.079 --> 00:21:45.960
health, giving them diagnoses with strange
words and medicines that did not serve because

264
00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:48.799
only he was able to cure them. I replied that in order to cure

265
00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:55.880
many diseases of the inhabitants of the
village, medicines and competent medical care were

266
00:21:55.880 --> 00:22:00.599
required, and he only told me
not to mind his affairs and then.

267
00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:04.759
He' s gone. I firmly
believed that this man was no more or

268
00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:10.240
less than a simple liar, but
I felt that he would be a problem.

269
00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:14.400
The truth was that after that day
it didn' t bother me anymore.

270
00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:18.039
He looked at me ugly if I
walked around the village, but it

271
00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:21.319
didn' t go from there.
I decided to ignore it, too.

272
00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:25.079
After all, I couldn' t
change the beliefs of people like him.

273
00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:30.519
I was in that town without a
problem. About five months until on one

274
00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:34.400
occasion a woman came to my office
and asked me if I could go see

275
00:22:34.440 --> 00:22:40.720
her son directly to her home.
I replied that it would be most convenient

276
00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:45.759
if I brought him to the office, where he had everything so that he

277
00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:48.079
could check and attend to him.
But he told me that the child could

278
00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:52.559
no longer get up because of the
tiredness he felt all the time, since

279
00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:56.720
he was very sick. Her husband
worked all day and she wasn' t

280
00:22:56.799 --> 00:23:02.200
able to carry him there. Feeling
very emphatic about that woman, I agreed

281
00:23:02.279 --> 00:23:06.319
to go home. I picked up
a couple of things that could serve me

282
00:23:06.440 --> 00:23:11.880
according to the symptoms I was describing, and I left believing that it could

283
00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:15.319
be Varisela or a poorly cared for
cold. But when I arrived, I

284
00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:19.079
came across a terrible reality. That
poor child' s illness was measles.

285
00:23:21.279 --> 00:23:26.759
As a doctor I was obviously disappointed
to know that a child was currently infected

286
00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:30.880
with measles, being one of the
most important vaccines that have been given since

287
00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:36.200
the first year of life. I
could not judge the mother how she would

288
00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:41.400
normally do it in the city,
as she could understand that they had neither

289
00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:45.920
the information nor the resources to take
the child to the nearest clinic to vaccinate

290
00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:51.160
him. I explained to him the
illness his son had and tried to do

291
00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:56.599
everything possible to cure him, but
I also told him that perhaps it would

292
00:23:56.680 --> 00:24:00.599
be best to take him to the
nearest hospital, since measles was a deadly

293
00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:07.839
disease. If necessary care was not
taken. I explained to him that technically

294
00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:11.680
there is no cure. It was
only about fighting symptoms until the child'

295
00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:17.559
s body managed to heal itself.
She told me that she would try to

296
00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:22.599
see if anyone could take it,
but as the days passed I noticed that

297
00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:27.279
the little one was still in town
and on one occasion, when I went

298
00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:30.599
to check it out, I realized
that the healer was there. The house

299
00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:36.640
was completely filled with smoke, which
did not allow me to breathe well.

300
00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:41.160
I asked the mother what was going
on and I told her that they couldn

301
00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:47.440
' t do that by having a
child with measles at home, as it

302
00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:52.160
would only worsen her illness. The
mother tried to explain to me that the

303
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:56.960
healer was trying to remove the measles, but I told her that wasn'

304
00:24:56.960 --> 00:25:00.880
t going to happen. Measles had
no cure and I had already explained it

305
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:07.079
to him. I told the healer
to stop because he was just making things

306
00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:11.839
worse. The woman listened to me, went to him and asked him to

307
00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:17.880
stop, but he said he was
about to do it. At that time

308
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:23.880
I was angry because that man was
only trying to con that woman telling her

309
00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:27.480
that he could cure his son,
when clearly he could not. I went

310
00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:33.200
into the house and told him to
stop. I opened the windows to vent

311
00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:37.759
the room. The little one was
already sweating and seemed to have entered a

312
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:42.559
very serious state of dehydration. As
far as I' m concerned, he

313
00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:48.559
' ll be in no shock.
I personally ran that man and told him

314
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:52.079
I was about to kill the child. I swore to him that if I

315
00:25:52.680 --> 00:25:56.279
killed him, I would do everything
I could to make him spend the rest

316
00:25:56.400 --> 00:26:00.759
of his life in jail. I
annoy that man. He left there,

317
00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:04.960
leaving us alone to his mother,
the child and me. I' ve

318
00:26:06.079 --> 00:26:08.319
been trying to moisturize the child for
many hours. We even put serum on

319
00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:12.680
him, but he was too weak
and about seven o' clock at night,

320
00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:18.559
the boy went into shock and convulsed. I tried to do everything to

321
00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:23.319
revive him. He passed away.
I was too tired and screwed up,

322
00:26:25.319 --> 00:26:27.359
but this, too, was very
bad for me. He really believed that

323
00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:32.880
little boy could have done it if
that man hadn' t done his stupid

324
00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:36.640
things. He was very upset and
trying not to blame the mother. I

325
00:26:36.680 --> 00:26:41.680
left there because I thought I could
throw some outrageous comment towards the family had

326
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:47.440
believed in the words of that person
and had caused the death of that little

327
00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:52.319
one. I went back to the
office. A couple of hours later,

328
00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:56.839
while I was already starting to calm
down a note slipped under my door and

329
00:26:56.960 --> 00:27:03.519
I heard someone r ran away almost
immediately. I picked her up and read

330
00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:08.359
her in it She said, please, go back to the house, as

331
00:27:08.599 --> 00:27:15.960
the child had woken up and probably
needed a check. First I thought it

332
00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:21.400
might be some kind of twisted joke. I quickly thought it couldn' t

333
00:27:21.400 --> 00:27:25.839
be like that, as the only
ones who knew it were the parents of

334
00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:30.000
that little boy and I and I
refused to believe that they were making such

335
00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:34.559
a bad joke like that. I
didn' t understand why they said that

336
00:27:34.680 --> 00:27:41.720
the child had woken up when I
had confirmed that he had stopped breathing or

337
00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:45.920
had any kind of vital sign a
few hours ago. Still, I decided

338
00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:48.400
to go back to the house to
see what the note was about, but

339
00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:53.119
the closer I got to the house, the more I could feel a vibrating

340
00:27:53.240 --> 00:27:59.920
too heavy. It made me very
afraid, but still it did not stop

341
00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:03.720
me and when I arrived I listened
to some murmurs, but no one answered

342
00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:07.720
me. When I knocked on the
door this one opened with a slight push,

343
00:28:08.440 --> 00:28:12.359
since it was not completely closed,
I called that little boy' s

344
00:28:12.440 --> 00:28:18.279
mother again, but she did not
answer me. I just heard someone muttering

345
00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:23.400
something that sounded like prayers. I
thought maybe the person who wrote that note

346
00:28:23.519 --> 00:28:29.759
hadn' t written it. Well, I began to walk to where these

347
00:28:29.880 --> 00:28:33.279
murmurs were heard and as I entered
the room of the house, where the

348
00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:37.960
little one had spent his last days, I realized that his father and mother

349
00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:44.440
were there, but not only them, but also that shaman. This filled

350
00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:48.319
me with anger. I didn'
t want to be a scene, but

351
00:28:48.359 --> 00:28:53.279
I did want to let him know
that man who would keep my word to

352
00:28:53.799 --> 00:28:57.240
do everything in my power to get
him to jail for what that little boy

353
00:28:57.240 --> 00:29:00.119
had done to him. But when
I approached the bed, I realized that

354
00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:06.519
the child' s body had a
lot of strange symbols drawn with ash in

355
00:29:06.720 --> 00:29:11.880
different parts of his body, which
by that time was almost naked that man

356
00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:18.079
spoke nonstop in a dialect that I
did not know. He didn' t

357
00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:22.559
pay attention to me. It was
as if he hadn' t noticed that

358
00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:27.119
I had come in against him.
I asked the little boy' s mother

359
00:29:27.240 --> 00:29:33.119
what was going on. She looked
at me with some guilt, as if

360
00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:37.960
she knew that I would not approve
of what was happening with a certain anger

361
00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:41.359
and was about to tell that man
that he had been responsible for the death

362
00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:47.200
of that child when suddenly something happened
that to a storm my nightmares. To

363
00:29:47.279 --> 00:29:51.160
this day, that boy got up, sat on the bed and began to

364
00:29:51.359 --> 00:29:56.359
turn around to see each of us, but he was different. Their eyes

365
00:29:56.480 --> 00:30:02.319
were not expressive, they looked dead
just like their skin. This was something

366
00:30:02.440 --> 00:30:07.240
that could be noticed, even though
only the room was being lit with a

367
00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:14.119
simple candle. It was like a
dead body was moving altered. I asked

368
00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:18.559
everyone what was going on. That
sorcerer looked at me and told me that

369
00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:22.640
the child was not going to leave
this world until he ordered it and that

370
00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:26.720
he was so powerful that he was
able to bring the dead back to life.

371
00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:32.519
And after that, he took something
green that he had in a bowl

372
00:30:32.640 --> 00:30:36.839
of mud and anointed it on the
forehead and then on the belly of that

373
00:30:36.839 --> 00:30:41.519
child, who was kind of lost
for that moment just sitting on the bed.

374
00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:45.839
But a few seconds after putting this
green thing in his belly and in

375
00:30:47.480 --> 00:30:51.960
front of this thing he absorbed himself
too quickly, almost as if he were

376
00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:55.799
getting into the body, and at
that moment the child seemed to have more

377
00:30:55.799 --> 00:31:00.839
consciousness. He was upset and very
frightened, as if he knew he shouldn

378
00:31:00.920 --> 00:31:07.200
' t be there. He looked
at his hands for a moment after being

379
00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:11.759
alarmed, touched his face as if
he could not believe what was happening to

380
00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:15.880
him and then began to scream.
They were desperate screams, as if it

381
00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:21.440
hurt his whole body screamed a lot. We all took a step back from

382
00:31:21.559 --> 00:31:25.920
the impact this caused. The little
one turned around, as if trying to

383
00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:32.079
get out of bed at the time
his feet touched the floor. He collapsed

384
00:31:32.200 --> 00:31:37.519
as if his legs hadn' t
answered him yet. He seemed to be

385
00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:40.880
trying to catch up with us.
The sorcerer seemed quite satisfied with the work

386
00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:44.839
he had done and said that for
the moment, perhaps not all parts of

387
00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:48.640
the body were still serving him,
but that it would only be a matter

388
00:31:48.680 --> 00:31:52.319
of a couple of days for him
to return to normal. After saying that,

389
00:31:52.599 --> 00:31:56.359
that man turned to see me and
asked me if now that the boy

390
00:31:56.440 --> 00:32:01.079
had woken up again, I wanted
to exhale him to check that he was

391
00:32:01.079 --> 00:32:06.480
okay. But at the time I
was in some kind of shock. My

392
00:32:06.599 --> 00:32:10.279
mind could not conceive of the idea
that the child, who had struggled to

393
00:32:10.400 --> 00:32:15.079
the tiredness to heal and that I
myself had been present at the time he

394
00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:21.319
gave his last breath, was now
alive to wobble and scream for having returned

395
00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:27.519
to life with those dead eyes.
My mind couldn' t stand it and

396
00:32:27.559 --> 00:32:31.839
I just ran away from there as
I could get to the room where I

397
00:32:31.960 --> 00:32:37.759
stayed and kept only a couple of
things. I ran away. I was

398
00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:40.599
so afraid of what could happen to
me or what that man could do to

399
00:32:40.599 --> 00:32:44.240
me. I didn' t care
about the kid or his family anymore.

400
00:32:44.880 --> 00:32:47.880
I just wanted to get out of
there and even though there was no transport

401
00:32:49.000 --> 00:32:52.839
I could use, I just started
running towards the next town, no matter

402
00:32:52.960 --> 00:33:00.640
what time or my own safety at
some point. The truth ignores the time

403
00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:05.160
that had passed. All I know
is that I was walking in the middle

404
00:33:05.279 --> 00:33:09.440
of a sidewalk in total darkness,
since I had not lit public for that

405
00:33:09.440 --> 00:33:13.880
moment either. My mind had come
out of that trance state that made me

406
00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:19.519
run out of town just carrying the
most basic. My mind was starting to

407
00:33:19.599 --> 00:33:23.079
calm down and I was even trying
to think with a little more logic.

408
00:33:23.880 --> 00:33:29.559
I began to think that maybe I
was wrong and the child had never died.

409
00:33:29.640 --> 00:33:34.519
Actually, I probably only had what
in medicine we know as catalepsy.

410
00:33:36.519 --> 00:33:38.960
For those who do not know,
this is a state in which the person

411
00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:45.240
seems to have no vital signs and
is often declared dead without being seriously dead.

412
00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:51.039
It had happened even to the best
or more experienced doctors than me,

413
00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:54.319
and besides, I thought that at
the time I had declared him dead,

414
00:33:55.000 --> 00:34:01.000
I didn' t exactly have all
the resources to be able to determine that

415
00:34:01.160 --> 00:34:06.920
death was a fact and I was
also very tired, not to mention how

416
00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:12.119
dark the room was. I was
trying very hard to believe that to try

417
00:34:12.360 --> 00:34:17.159
to calm myself down when I suddenly
started to hear something. First it was

418
00:34:17.280 --> 00:34:22.239
a slight whisper, which could have
been confused with the branches moving with the

419
00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:29.159
wind, but the more the seconds
passed, the more clearly it was heard.

420
00:34:30.320 --> 00:34:34.079
I fell. I' ve always
believed that I' m likely to

421
00:34:34.199 --> 00:34:37.639
have some kind of nervous breakdown,
which caused me to faint I woke up.

422
00:34:37.719 --> 00:34:43.840
Until the next day. A person
in the neighboring village had poured water

423
00:34:43.960 --> 00:34:47.639
on my face to make sure that
I was still alive and as soon as

424
00:34:47.679 --> 00:34:52.400
I reacted, he asked me if
I needed help. I told him I

425
00:34:52.559 --> 00:34:57.880
needed to get to the nearest town
to talk to my family, and he

426
00:34:57.920 --> 00:35:01.320
offered to take me back for a
few days, so my family could send

427
00:35:01.440 --> 00:35:06.880
me money so I could come back. This story does not end there,

428
00:35:07.360 --> 00:35:10.840
because, just after a month and
a half, some letters began to reach

429
00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:15.920
me. In them they told me
that if I kept trying to heal people,

430
00:35:16.559 --> 00:35:21.920
then it would end. Like that
child, it didn' t matter

431
00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:25.960
where I hid, since he could
always find me. Because of this I

432
00:35:27.039 --> 00:35:30.440
got scared to the point that I
left my career. I no longer wish

433
00:35:30.559 --> 00:35:36.320
to practice today I have been working
on other things throughout my life. I

434
00:35:36.400 --> 00:35:40.519
have never heard anything from that man
or the people again, but very often

435
00:35:40.599 --> 00:35:45.480
I wonder what will have happened to
that little one every time all the events

436
00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:51.840
I related come to mind. I
can' t help but highlight the fact

437
00:35:51.960 --> 00:35:55.599
that it was clear that he was
no longer alive. His legs, his

438
00:35:55.719 --> 00:36:00.840
eyes, his skin all indicated he
was a living corpse. Whether his soul

439
00:36:00.920 --> 00:36:07.159
really returned or his body is doomed
to move like a puppet for all eternity.

440
00:36:07.559 --> 00:36:17.840
It' s a question that always
torments me. Stealing a dead body.

441
00:36:21.320 --> 00:36:24.199
When I was 25, I had
no idea what to do with my

442
00:36:24.320 --> 00:36:30.760
life. I was just playing video
games or partying with my friends. I

443
00:36:30.840 --> 00:36:35.199
was often drunk and, since I
didn' t last at any job,

444
00:36:35.400 --> 00:36:39.559
I stole from my grandfather and grandmother
who had been like parents to me to

445
00:36:39.679 --> 00:36:44.599
solve my vice. I guess having
grown up with my grandfather, this one

446
00:36:44.679 --> 00:36:49.159
didn' t want to believe that
I was a lost case in an attempt

447
00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:52.159
to get me to fix my life. He got me a job in a

448
00:36:52.159 --> 00:36:55.039
morgue. At first I refused.
I didn' t know what I wanted

449
00:36:55.159 --> 00:37:00.440
to do with my life, but
I was sure I didn' t want

450
00:37:00.519 --> 00:37:04.679
to be a mortuary lockdown. The
whole idea of being surrounded or having contact

451
00:37:04.800 --> 00:37:08.320
with corpses caused me to be repulsed. I tried to get rid of that

452
00:37:08.320 --> 00:37:13.760
job. My grandfather forced me to
do it. I had no choice but

453
00:37:13.880 --> 00:37:19.000
to attend. At first, the
tasks they put me on didn' t

454
00:37:19.119 --> 00:37:22.719
involve the corpses at all. Like
I hadn' t studied anything. Looks

455
00:37:22.280 --> 00:37:28.079
basically like my only job there was
cleaning up. I rarely ran into a

456
00:37:28.400 --> 00:37:32.280
table with a blanket, which indicated
that there was someone under it and usually

457
00:37:32.639 --> 00:37:38.159
ignored it. Never in my life
had I seen a dead man and even

458
00:37:38.360 --> 00:37:44.079
though he was old enough, it
was something that made me quite afraid.

459
00:37:44.800 --> 00:37:49.559
A couple of months after I was
working there, another boy named Julian came

460
00:37:50.280 --> 00:37:53.480
in and pretty soon I realized that, like me, Julian was being forced

461
00:37:53.679 --> 00:37:59.360
to work in that place, too. He wasn' t quite sure what

462
00:37:59.400 --> 00:38:02.039
he wanted to do with his life. He had a little difference with me,

463
00:38:02.599 --> 00:38:07.880
and it' s that he not
only played video games and went out

464
00:38:07.000 --> 00:38:12.320
to party, but he was also
a little reckless and very familiar with the

465
00:38:12.320 --> 00:38:15.199
subject of stealing. I didn'
t really see him as bad and I

466
00:38:15.320 --> 00:38:21.639
guess he somehow brainwashed me, as
he used to say he was like Robin

467
00:38:21.639 --> 00:38:25.000
Hood, since he never stole from
people who needed the money, nor would

468
00:38:25.159 --> 00:38:30.480
he ever steal from his job.
Rather, he stole small things from big

469
00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:37.000
malls or big franchises. As I
mentioned before, I wasn' t that

470
00:38:37.119 --> 00:38:42.480
defamiliar about stealing, either, as
I was getting a little bit of money

471
00:38:42.599 --> 00:38:45.960
from my grandparents. It was never
really so serious, at least from my

472
00:38:46.079 --> 00:38:51.440
point of view. What I'
m going with all this is that at

473
00:38:51.559 --> 00:38:55.079
some point Julian told me something,
and it' s that a couple of

474
00:38:55.119 --> 00:39:01.840
hours earlier some people had arrived who
had crashed. Julian had been particularly interested

475
00:39:02.760 --> 00:39:08.159
only to later show me a wallet
and ring that looked like gold. He

476
00:39:08.199 --> 00:39:14.400
told me he had taken them from
those people who had just arrived. Julian

477
00:39:14.679 --> 00:39:17.960
had stolen two corpses He didn'
t even bring much money. In the

478
00:39:19.039 --> 00:39:23.760
wallet were about six hundred pesos and
some photographs of his children and the ring.

479
00:39:24.039 --> 00:39:28.880
He claimed it was gold. The
truth is that I had my doubts

480
00:39:28.960 --> 00:39:32.280
about it, being he my friend. The truth is, I couldn'

481
00:39:32.400 --> 00:39:37.920
t tell you what I thought about
it. He seemed pretty confident. He

482
00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:42.800
told me it had been very easy
and that we could do it whenever there

483
00:39:42.800 --> 00:39:45.440
was a chance. The truth is, I wasn' t so convinced,

484
00:39:45.639 --> 00:39:50.800
but I kept telling him that yes, I didn' t plan on doing

485
00:39:50.800 --> 00:39:54.079
it. A couple of weeks later. The truth is, he convinced me

486
00:39:54.119 --> 00:39:59.639
to do it. Honestly, I
don' t want to blame him all,

487
00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:04.599
since I know I could have stopped
him or set my limits and pretty

488
00:40:04.599 --> 00:40:07.320
soon. I lost my fear of
all this, stealing watches or wallets,

489
00:40:07.599 --> 00:40:14.559
something that at first had given me
quite fear or repulsion because of the simple

490
00:40:14.679 --> 00:40:20.519
fact of searching the pockets of corpses
after a while. It was something that

491
00:40:20.639 --> 00:40:25.480
became a habit and one could say
that he had lost all fear and even

492
00:40:25.760 --> 00:40:30.559
respect for the corpses that arrived at
the morgue. I' m not sure

493
00:40:30.679 --> 00:40:36.320
if anyone at any point noticed,
but I do know that they didn'

494
00:40:36.599 --> 00:40:39.760
t tell us anything and for a
moment we felt at the top of the

495
00:40:39.840 --> 00:40:44.760
world, believing that our actions would
have no consequences whatsoever. But the same

496
00:40:44.880 --> 00:40:49.800
fate would take care of telling us
how wrong we were to the place.

497
00:40:50.000 --> 00:40:53.719
Four bodies arrived and among them was
a man of very advanced age, perhaps

498
00:40:54.119 --> 00:41:00.199
about sixty- five or seventy years. Apparently there had been a car accident

499
00:41:00.039 --> 00:41:07.480
and they had lost their lives instantly. This gentleman dressed extremely elegantly, he

500
00:41:07.480 --> 00:41:12.159
looked at the quality of his clothes. On top of that, he was

501
00:41:12.320 --> 00:41:15.039
wearing rings and a watch that seemed
to be very expensive at first sight.

502
00:41:15.639 --> 00:41:20.519
Julian and I, in an act
of greed, I began to quickly check

503
00:41:20.800 --> 00:41:24.320
each of his pockets until I put
my hand into his left side pocket,

504
00:41:24.800 --> 00:41:30.960
where I clearly felt a large bundle
of bills smile for myself. Once my

505
00:41:31.119 --> 00:41:37.840
hand was out with the money.
I felt like a cold, bony hand

506
00:41:37.960 --> 00:41:44.320
held me fast. I turned and
saw the lord holding my hand and looking

507
00:41:44.400 --> 00:41:47.840
at me he didn' t tell
me anything, he just looked at me

508
00:41:47.960 --> 00:41:51.159
with a lot of hate, I
screamed and shook. Julian saw it all,

509
00:41:51.880 --> 00:41:55.000
but the fear and also the impact
of the fact that that corpse was

510
00:41:55.360 --> 00:42:01.079
doing that. He was petrified by
fear, having no idea how to help

511
00:42:01.199 --> 00:42:07.239
me. In my desperation, I
began to throw so but so hard that

512
00:42:07.599 --> 00:42:13.000
the corpse finally fell to the ground, releasing me once and for all.

513
00:42:14.480 --> 00:42:17.320
The doctor came in and I put
the money in my bag. When he

514
00:42:17.440 --> 00:42:22.119
asked us what had happened, all
I could say was that he had moved.

515
00:42:23.639 --> 00:42:27.599
I don' t know why I
told him the truth, but I

516
00:42:27.599 --> 00:42:31.280
did. The doctor looked at me
and told me that it had probably been

517
00:42:31.360 --> 00:42:37.559
some kind of spasm, but that
the man was dead and then. He

518
00:42:37.679 --> 00:42:40.719
put it back on the table and
then told us to get out of the

519
00:42:40.840 --> 00:42:49.159
room. Once outside we were too
disturbed to say anything. I think we

520
00:42:49.239 --> 00:42:53.559
stayed outside the morgue sitting a long
time on the steps, not telling us

521
00:42:53.719 --> 00:43:00.079
a single word, until Julian finally
looked at me and told me that maybe

522
00:43:00.360 --> 00:43:05.760
it had just been a spasm.
After all, he was dead. There

523
00:43:05.840 --> 00:43:09.880
was a good chance it was some
kind of muscle memory. I had read

524
00:43:10.079 --> 00:43:15.559
that that was possible and the truth
is I guess at that time I just

525
00:43:15.719 --> 00:43:21.800
wanted to believe in anything. I
laughed and told her it was probably that.

526
00:43:22.639 --> 00:43:27.679
We both started throwing some jokes about
it and saying that that man was

527
00:43:27.800 --> 00:43:32.960
too greedy to want to defend his
money until he was already dead. After

528
00:43:34.000 --> 00:43:37.079
that we went to his car and
split up all that money I had gotten.

529
00:43:38.280 --> 00:43:43.880
It was a lot too big.
Almost all of them were 500-

530
00:43:44.119 --> 00:43:49.159
thousand bills. I don' t
know what that man was working on or

531
00:43:49.280 --> 00:43:54.719
why he had so much cash with
him, but at that moment we swore

532
00:43:54.719 --> 00:43:59.159
we had won the lottery. During
the night. Something very strange happened to

533
00:43:59.199 --> 00:44:04.840
me when I finished bathing, the
water was so hot that the bathroom was

534
00:44:04.960 --> 00:44:09.000
flooded with steam and the mirror was
very tarnished. When I was done,

535
00:44:09.320 --> 00:44:14.480
I couldn' t see anything.
When I walked into the mirror, I

536
00:44:14.519 --> 00:44:17.599
began to clean it a little with
the towel so I could see my face,

537
00:44:19.559 --> 00:44:23.119
when suddenly I could swear that I
saw that man standing right behind me,

538
00:44:23.679 --> 00:44:29.559
had that angry look that I had
earlier that day, I screamed and

539
00:44:29.639 --> 00:44:34.159
even slipped. My grandmother asked me
what was wrong with me, but I

540
00:44:34.440 --> 00:44:37.519
didn' t know what to say. For a moment I thought maybe it

541
00:44:37.599 --> 00:44:42.320
was her management of me and it
had only been a vapor stain that I

542
00:44:42.400 --> 00:44:45.360
had seen a face. After that, I went up to my room and

543
00:44:45.440 --> 00:44:50.280
got ready to sleep. I think
I was already grasping the dream, when

544
00:44:50.400 --> 00:44:55.239
suddenly I began to feel that my
room began to get very cold. I

545
00:44:55.280 --> 00:45:00.159
started looking for the blanket to cover
for me. The only thing I felt

546
00:45:00.320 --> 00:45:04.199
was like a hand grabbed mine and
began to squeeze me very hard, I

547
00:45:04.840 --> 00:45:07.760
opened my eyes and the only thing
I could get to see was the face

548
00:45:07.840 --> 00:45:14.079
of that annoying man. Looking at
me, I tried to free myself and

549
00:45:14.320 --> 00:45:17.199
cornered into one of the corners of
my bed, telling him to forgive me

550
00:45:17.320 --> 00:45:22.119
and to give him back the money, but to leave me alone. And

551
00:45:22.239 --> 00:45:25.079
as soon as I opened my eyes
again, I realized that he was no

552
00:45:25.159 --> 00:45:31.280
longer in the room all night.
I never saw him again. The next

553
00:45:31.360 --> 00:45:37.480
morning I woke up with devastating news
that Julian had died, but in a

554
00:45:37.760 --> 00:45:44.079
rather strange way, since he had
died in his sleep. There was no

555
00:45:44.239 --> 00:45:49.119
indication that anyone had entered his house, but they said that he had been

556
00:45:49.119 --> 00:45:52.760
suffocated. Terrified. I went to
the morgue to return what I had taken

557
00:45:52.880 --> 00:45:57.199
from the man, but to my
terror, his body was no longer there.

558
00:45:57.800 --> 00:46:01.199
My boss said his family had left
him I couldn' t return the

559
00:46:01.199 --> 00:46:07.000
money. I remember the next day
that man came back to me asking me

560
00:46:07.079 --> 00:46:13.039
for the money. I was trying
to explain that I didn' t give

561
00:46:13.159 --> 00:46:14.840
it back because I didn' t
know where it was. I had to

562
00:46:14.920 --> 00:46:20.280
ask at the reception where the family
home was. I remember well that the

563
00:46:20.360 --> 00:46:25.039
next morning I was willing to go
and return it, but I couldn'

564
00:46:25.159 --> 00:46:29.559
t because it was Julian' s
funeral. I decided to go first,

565
00:46:29.800 --> 00:46:34.119
when I realized it was too late. I thought I' d go the

566
00:46:34.119 --> 00:46:37.960
next day. This would make him
even more angry. That night I woke

567
00:46:38.079 --> 00:46:44.480
up with that man squeezing my neck, but I managed to let go just

568
00:46:44.559 --> 00:46:47.320
as I was beginning to lose consciousness. The next morning I went and handed

569
00:46:47.440 --> 00:46:52.559
him over to his family, who
looked at me very strangely, but they

570
00:46:52.639 --> 00:46:57.480
accepted him without telling me much.
I thought that would be the end of

571
00:46:57.559 --> 00:47:00.159
this horrible nightmare. It wasn'
t like that. That man has not

572
00:47:00.239 --> 00:47:07.599
stopped harassing me. It causes me
terrible nightmares. Sometimes it disappears, but

573
00:47:07.039 --> 00:47:12.679
it reappears when I' m calmer. It' s come to the point

574
00:47:12.760 --> 00:47:15.199
where he seems to be enjoying making
my life miserable. I don' t

575
00:47:15.199 --> 00:47:20.039
know what to do. I'
ve gone with different sorcerers, but none

576
00:47:20.159 --> 00:47:22.239
of them can feel anything. They
tell me they don' t feel like

577
00:47:22.360 --> 00:47:28.840
anyone' s following me or having
someone stalking me, and since they don

578
00:47:28.840 --> 00:47:29.679
' t feel it, they can' t banish him. I don'

579
00:47:29.760 --> 00:47:39.320
t know why the maquillist of the
dead hasn' t forgiven me to date.

580
00:47:42.400 --> 00:47:45.920
I worked as a maquillist at a
funeral home. Many will think that

581
00:47:46.000 --> 00:47:51.280
working with dead people is a scary
thing, and the truth is, they

582
00:47:51.280 --> 00:47:54.039
' re not wrong. At that
time I was desperate for some money,

583
00:47:54.480 --> 00:47:59.760
as I wanted to move out of
my parents' house as soon as possible.

584
00:48:00.519 --> 00:48:05.800
That job would not only allow me
to have a fixed income, but

585
00:48:06.159 --> 00:48:10.280
also pay was not bad, precisely
because it is a job that not many

586
00:48:10.320 --> 00:48:15.239
dare to do. At first it
caused me some repulsion to have to make

587
00:48:15.280 --> 00:48:20.239
up the dead with the passing of
the months. It became a routine like

588
00:48:20.400 --> 00:48:25.199
any other. But three things happened
to me that I just couldn' t

589
00:48:25.199 --> 00:48:31.920
overlook. The first was shocking,
even before something paranormal happened. He was

590
00:48:32.119 --> 00:48:37.679
a motorcyclist who had lost his life
in a road accident so hard that his

591
00:48:37.800 --> 00:48:43.320
head had detached from the body by
the time he arrived at the funeral home.

592
00:48:43.920 --> 00:48:46.320
The truth is, he wasn'
t decapitated. In the morgue they

593
00:48:46.360 --> 00:48:51.159
had taken care of sewing the head
back to the body. Because their family

594
00:48:51.239 --> 00:48:55.840
was too believing, they refused to
cremation and not only that, but they

595
00:48:55.840 --> 00:49:02.360
also wanted a mass of present body
as it took place. I remember the

596
00:49:02.440 --> 00:49:07.599
moment I saw the seams they made
him, it made me quite upset.

597
00:49:07.039 --> 00:49:12.400
It was like nausea. My boss
told me that the family wanted me to

598
00:49:12.519 --> 00:49:16.599
hide those seams as much as possible
with makeup and that if they didn'

599
00:49:16.599 --> 00:49:20.440
t see each other, it would
be best. I didn' t think

600
00:49:20.480 --> 00:49:24.320
that was possible. I still set
out to do my job. I started

601
00:49:24.400 --> 00:49:29.199
trying to hide as much as possible
from those seams. When, suddenly,

602
00:49:29.639 --> 00:49:35.280
my phone rang was my mother,
I decided to answer her at that moment,

603
00:49:35.800 --> 00:49:39.000
thinking it might be something serious.
I walked out of the room for

604
00:49:39.239 --> 00:49:44.599
a few seconds and took the call. I don' t even remember exactly

605
00:49:44.599 --> 00:49:47.800
what we were talking about, but
as soon as I hung up and turned

606
00:49:47.920 --> 00:49:53.760
around to go back into the room, I clearly heard a sound similar to

607
00:49:53.760 --> 00:49:59.320
steps, which was very strange,
since, while I hadn' t stood

608
00:49:59.360 --> 00:50:01.639
exactly in the door frame, I
had gone away at least a meter and

609
00:50:01.639 --> 00:50:07.079
a half. If someone had come
in, I would have seen it,

610
00:50:07.280 --> 00:50:10.119
I started walking and, the more
I approached the room. I realized that,

611
00:50:10.360 --> 00:50:16.320
besides steps. I was listening as
if someone was crying a little more

612
00:50:16.320 --> 00:50:21.599
alert. I asked aloud if it
was my boss, but I didn'

613
00:50:21.719 --> 00:50:25.800
t get any answers. I asked
again and on this occasion, while I

614
00:50:27.000 --> 00:50:30.679
did not get an answer as such, I heard a hurtful voice from a

615
00:50:30.679 --> 00:50:37.199
young man. I looked up and
the room was empty I couldn' t

616
00:50:37.400 --> 00:50:40.039
take it anymore I ran to my
boss. Once there I told him everything

617
00:50:40.159 --> 00:50:45.679
I had heard. He looked at
me for a moment and finally mocked me

618
00:50:45.760 --> 00:50:50.960
by telling me that it was he
who had put a radio in the makeup

619
00:50:51.039 --> 00:50:53.920
room and had played a joke on
me for talking on the phone. I

620
00:50:54.000 --> 00:50:59.280
laughed nervously and told him he was
very bad at making such jokes. No.

621
00:50:59.320 --> 00:51:01.039
No, I didn' t say
anything else and I left. The

622
00:51:01.119 --> 00:51:05.360
truth is, I didn' t
believe him for several reasons. First of

623
00:51:05.440 --> 00:51:08.599
all, that voice was very youthful. I mean, my boss was an

624
00:51:08.679 --> 00:51:15.639
old man who could hardly make that
kind of voice. And secondly, he

625
00:51:15.800 --> 00:51:20.960
was a very serious and respectful person
to the dead. He didn' t

626
00:51:21.079 --> 00:51:25.599
like jokes and he always respected the
mourning of families. I hardly saw him

627
00:51:25.800 --> 00:51:30.280
doing that kind of thing just to
make a joke. Besides, the voice

628
00:51:30.360 --> 00:51:36.760
listened too vividly in no way.
It sounded like it was some kind of

629
00:51:36.920 --> 00:51:42.239
radio, but I still couldn'
t deny it, at least not at

630
00:51:42.239 --> 00:51:45.880
the time. I only accepted it
when I finished the job. They took

631
00:51:45.960 --> 00:51:51.840
him and I never saw him again. The next story is about a poor

632
00:51:51.960 --> 00:51:55.000
little girl who wasn' t ready
to go. He had drowned in a

633
00:51:55.119 --> 00:52:00.679
lake near his house. His skin
was very blue and such also his lips

634
00:52:00.840 --> 00:52:06.239
were completely purple. The family was
devastated and it was Grandma who did most

635
00:52:06.360 --> 00:52:12.960
of the paperwork. It was also
she who gave us the corresponding indications.

636
00:52:13.519 --> 00:52:16.760
He told us that if we could
make the child look like she was just

637
00:52:17.400 --> 00:52:21.880
sleeping, he would appreciate it very
much. I started doing my job with

638
00:52:22.039 --> 00:52:25.519
that little girl, at the same
time that I felt pretty sorry for myself

639
00:52:25.599 --> 00:52:30.079
because I had a niece about that
age and the simple fact of imagining losing

640
00:52:30.239 --> 00:52:36.880
her for something like that made me
feel pretty bad. It was almost as

641
00:52:37.000 --> 00:52:39.880
if from one moment to the next
I began to feel that someone was seeing

642
00:52:39.880 --> 00:52:45.920
me. I turned around thinking that
one of my colleagues was nearby, but

643
00:52:46.159 --> 00:52:52.239
I was completely alone, until suddenly
it wasn' t just that feeling that

644
00:52:52.400 --> 00:52:58.760
someone was seeing, but I also
started to feel like someone was breathing near

645
00:52:58.880 --> 00:53:02.280
me. I turned around, but
again there was no one and I started

646
00:53:02.360 --> 00:53:07.840
to be the fastest job. When
suddenly I felt someone stung my ribs and

647
00:53:07.880 --> 00:53:14.440
ran out of the room. I
turned quite upset, because I thought one

648
00:53:14.480 --> 00:53:17.519
of my colleagues was making a very
heavy joke on me. What surprised me

649
00:53:17.599 --> 00:53:22.159
was that there was a trail of
what seemed to be footprints made of water,

650
00:53:22.719 --> 00:53:28.599
but that was not the strangest thing, but that these were too small

651
00:53:28.760 --> 00:53:35.639
to belong to some adult and they
were only in that room. They ran

652
00:53:35.800 --> 00:53:38.400
to the door, but there were
no more footprints. Out of the room.

653
00:53:39.159 --> 00:53:44.000
I called my boss and the partner
who was there to tell them what

654
00:53:44.079 --> 00:53:49.840
had happened. When they went,
there were indeed the footprints. My partner

655
00:53:49.960 --> 00:53:53.840
said that was pretty scary and he
didn' t want to get close to

656
00:53:53.920 --> 00:53:59.519
that weird girl again. But my
boss was not at all kind, but

657
00:53:59.639 --> 00:54:04.159
do do do the opposite. He
got upset and told me to stop making

658
00:54:04.239 --> 00:54:08.079
things up and that I should respect
the family. But I told him that

659
00:54:08.599 --> 00:54:13.440
wasn' t a joke, but
he didn' t want to hear anything

660
00:54:13.519 --> 00:54:16.400
I had to tell him. And
he finally got out of there upset.

661
00:54:17.039 --> 00:54:22.039
Forbidding me to speak of that subject
again. But, to our luck,

662
00:54:22.440 --> 00:54:25.679
after they took that little girl,
those footprints didn' t appear again.

663
00:54:28.039 --> 00:54:32.280
The third occurred about a year after
this incident. A rather strange woman arrived

664
00:54:32.400 --> 00:54:37.119
at the funeral home. He had
a lot of tattoos all over his body

665
00:54:37.360 --> 00:54:40.280
and most of them didn' t
seem to make any sense. They were

666
00:54:40.440 --> 00:54:45.079
several random symbols that I couldn'
t even identify. The tattoos on her

667
00:54:45.199 --> 00:54:50.719
body weren' t even the scariest
thing about her, but she had her

668
00:54:50.800 --> 00:54:53.559
eyes open and she looked like she
was smiling. I didn' t see

669
00:54:53.639 --> 00:54:59.360
her until she was already in the
makeup room. My boss was standing there

670
00:54:59.360 --> 00:55:04.679
looking at the fixation when I walked
in and asked him if the family members

671
00:55:04.840 --> 00:55:08.719
had any specifications on how they wanted
their deceased. He didn' t answer

672
00:55:09.400 --> 00:55:13.760
me, he just kept looking at
her. I held my hand close to

673
00:55:13.760 --> 00:55:17.000
the body, but before I could
even touch it with the tip of my

674
00:55:17.480 --> 00:55:23.480
finger, my boss took me abruptly
by the arm telling me that under no

675
00:55:23.480 --> 00:55:27.280
circumstances would I touch it. I
asked him what he meant and he told

676
00:55:27.360 --> 00:55:31.159
me not to touch her. I
didn' t know what to say and

677
00:55:31.440 --> 00:55:36.840
I got out of the room a
little upset, because he had never spoken

678
00:55:36.840 --> 00:55:38.559
to me that way. He was
usually a man who, while serious about

679
00:55:38.719 --> 00:55:45.440
his work, was also quite polite
to all his employees. Almost at the

680
00:55:45.559 --> 00:55:49.559
time I left the room, my
co- worker who was here approached me

681
00:55:49.639 --> 00:55:53.440
and asked me what had happened I
answered him what the boss had done to

682
00:55:53.559 --> 00:55:58.400
me and he was also surprised,
as, as I mentioned earlier, it

683
00:55:58.480 --> 00:56:04.719
was not his own attitude. But
right away, our boss went out and

684
00:56:04.840 --> 00:56:08.639
apologized to me, telling me he
didn' t want to be so rude,

685
00:56:09.599 --> 00:56:12.159
but he wasn' t willing to
risk me that way. I asked

686
00:56:12.199 --> 00:56:15.840
him again what he was talking about
and he told me that the truth is

687
00:56:15.960 --> 00:56:20.719
that he didn' t want to
leave alone. I still didn' t

688
00:56:20.800 --> 00:56:24.920
understand what he wanted to say.
He told me that that face only meant

689
00:56:25.400 --> 00:56:31.159
that a part of the soul was
still inhabiting that body and that he was

690
00:56:31.280 --> 00:56:36.280
looking for any interaction with a person
to take away. Then he turned to

691
00:56:36.280 --> 00:56:42.000
see our co- worker and told
him not to touch her either. We

692
00:56:42.280 --> 00:56:46.039
heard my partner' s son scream. His screams came from the makeup room.

693
00:56:46.679 --> 00:56:51.840
We all ran. The boy was
in a corner and told his dad

694
00:56:51.960 --> 00:56:55.400
that that woman had turned him over
to see when he touched his hand.

695
00:56:57.039 --> 00:57:01.599
We were all quiet, as for
that point we were very suggestive of what

696
00:57:01.639 --> 00:57:07.559
our boss was telling us. My
boss told him to take his son urgently

697
00:57:07.880 --> 00:57:13.039
to get a clean or something,
because something very bad was going to happen

698
00:57:13.079 --> 00:57:16.320
to him. If he just stayed
that way, they two left and a

699
00:57:16.400 --> 00:57:22.760
couple of hours later we got some
terrible news. They had had a car

700
00:57:23.400 --> 00:57:28.559
accident where, while our partner had
left alive, his son had died.

701
00:57:29.880 --> 00:57:34.960
I was very upset and asked my
boss how he knew those things. He

702
00:57:35.039 --> 00:57:37.960
told me that the little things that
had been happening to me throughout my stay

703
00:57:38.000 --> 00:57:44.880
there were real, but he didn' t want to scare me, and

704
00:57:45.039 --> 00:57:49.920
that job was like that and very
often we had to deal with paranormal situations.

705
00:57:50.679 --> 00:57:52.639
It wasn' t the first time
he saw that kind of thing.

706
00:57:53.239 --> 00:57:59.119
I couldn' t stand it,
thinking something like that could happen to me,

707
00:58:00.079 --> 00:58:04.519
I quit that very day. He
understood it, but the truth is

708
00:58:04.599 --> 00:58:07.239
that to this day, every time
I remember that makes me quite sad and

709
00:58:07.360 --> 00:58:20.599
I' m not willing to go
back to work on something similar anymore nurse.

710
00:58:22.239 --> 00:58:28.000
Whenever someone told me that I had
seen or heard something strange, I

711
00:58:28.039 --> 00:58:32.599
always believed that they were people who
were suggested or that they were simply playing

712
00:58:34.400 --> 00:58:37.400
jokes among themselves I work for a
government institution. Sometimes they ask us to

713
00:58:37.440 --> 00:58:42.519
give support in some other hospitals and
this is what they asked of me because

714
00:58:43.039 --> 00:58:46.400
they didn' t have a doctor
for the night. I accepted and went

715
00:58:46.519 --> 00:58:51.119
all the way there. I was
a little retired and I had never been

716
00:58:51.199 --> 00:58:54.719
in that area, but I did
what I had to. The night was

717
00:58:54.840 --> 00:59:00.320
pretty quiet. I just had to
check out some patients who were in and

718
00:59:00.400 --> 00:59:07.159
rarely came emergencies that really required a
pretty specialized care. I remember sitting in

719
00:59:07.280 --> 00:59:12.800
the waiting room looking at my phone
when the security guard sat next to me

720
00:59:12.880 --> 00:59:15.920
for a moment and asked me if
I knew what was being told about that

721
00:59:16.039 --> 00:59:22.000
hospital. I said no, and
he said they were very ugly in preference.

722
00:59:22.639 --> 00:59:25.239
I didn' t walk just because
a lot of things had happened there.

723
00:59:25.800 --> 00:59:30.280
I told him I didn' t
believe any of that, but he

724
00:59:30.360 --> 00:59:32.880
told me that several doctors who,
like me, didn' t believe in

725
00:59:34.159 --> 00:59:37.199
it, had come out of there
believing it because it was real. I

726
00:59:37.280 --> 00:59:42.119
followed his lead and told him he
was fine. And after an hour I

727
00:59:42.320 --> 00:59:47.280
went to check on a senior patient, who had been hospitalized. I was

728
00:59:47.360 --> 00:59:52.440
walking down the hall. It should
be noted that through that same corridor is

729
00:59:52.559 --> 00:59:58.039
entrance and exit, so if someone
had entered or left that area, I

730
00:59:58.159 --> 01:00:02.519
would have seen it. We wouldn' t have crossed, but I saw

731
01:00:02.519 --> 01:00:07.480
absolutely no one. When I suddenly
heard the patient scream I rushed to see

732
01:00:07.599 --> 01:00:12.840
what was going on and what I
found was the patient with the catet was

733
01:00:12.960 --> 01:00:20.199
ripped off. I was in very
bad condition. It seemed that someone had

734
01:00:20.360 --> 01:00:24.679
not only ripped it off, but
had done so trying to do as much

735
01:00:24.800 --> 01:00:30.159
damage as possible. His arm looked
really bad. I asked her while I

736
01:00:30.159 --> 01:00:36.400
was helping her, what had happened
to what she sobbing. She told me

737
01:00:36.880 --> 01:00:40.519
that one of the nurses had come
in and told her that she would give

738
01:00:40.519 --> 01:00:46.480
her some medicine, but she knew
that she still did not touch her medication

739
01:00:46.480 --> 01:00:52.599
and that, in addition, none
of the bottles that the doctor brought was

740
01:00:52.800 --> 01:00:54.679
from any medicine that she was taking. She told the doctor that she thought

741
01:00:54.960 --> 01:01:01.199
she had the wrong patient. But
instead of the doctor checking, she ripped

742
01:01:01.239 --> 01:01:07.039
off his catheter like that and then
left the room. I asked her what

743
01:01:07.119 --> 01:01:12.280
hours that had happened, to which
she told me that a moment ago that

744
01:01:12.360 --> 01:01:16.360
if gradually I had not seen her, since I within a few seconds after

745
01:01:16.440 --> 01:01:20.920
she came out, to which I
told her no, that the truth was

746
01:01:20.920 --> 01:01:23.880
that I had not seen her,
but she replied that she had been a

747
01:01:23.960 --> 01:01:30.280
nurse and even described her to me. She told me that she was a

748
01:01:30.360 --> 01:01:35.599
woman with lactated hair, almost at
her waist, wearing a red lipstick and

749
01:01:35.679 --> 01:01:38.960
wearing a white nurse' s uniform, with purple straps on her arm.

750
01:01:42.119 --> 01:01:46.400
Left, of course I wasn'
t thinking I was a ghost. I

751
01:01:46.519 --> 01:01:52.960
just thought that maybe the patient'
s times were a little confused and that

752
01:01:52.079 --> 01:01:58.519
one of the nurses on duty had
been responsible. As far as I remember,

753
01:01:58.800 --> 01:02:02.159
none of them had hair or length. One of them had very short

754
01:02:02.239 --> 01:02:06.280
hair, and the other, while
long, looked like it was Chinese and

755
01:02:06.360 --> 01:02:12.000
had it picked up. But I
didn' t think much about it and

756
01:02:12.360 --> 01:02:17.119
I got out of there quite upset
with all the intention of scolding the nurse

757
01:02:17.159 --> 01:02:22.719
responsible and raising the corresponding report,
as that was a clear violation of the

758
01:02:22.800 --> 01:02:27.800
patient' s rights. When I
went down to the reception to ask if

759
01:02:27.880 --> 01:02:31.280
they had seen any of the nurses, they told me they had gone to

760
01:02:31.440 --> 01:02:37.920
eat about twenty minutes ago, but
they were probably coming back. The guard

761
01:02:37.000 --> 01:02:43.280
asked me what was happening to me, as I looked very upset. I

762
01:02:43.400 --> 01:02:46.079
told her what had happened to the
patient, to which he answered me almost

763
01:02:46.199 --> 01:02:52.960
laughing that he was quite sure it
had not been any of them. I

764
01:02:53.039 --> 01:02:59.400
told him not to try to cover
them up, but before he could say

765
01:02:59.440 --> 01:03:04.159
anything else, I saw how they
were both coming in. They looked quite

766
01:03:04.280 --> 01:03:08.440
happy and without any trace of guilt, which made me even more angry right

767
01:03:08.559 --> 01:03:15.360
away. I looked at both of
them trying to see who matched the patient

768
01:03:15.519 --> 01:03:21.159
' s descriptions, but both looked
completely different from the descriptions. They didn

769
01:03:21.280 --> 01:03:24.440
' t even bring makeup, already
a little upset. I asked them who

770
01:03:24.480 --> 01:03:30.760
had caused these injuries to the patient. They were very confused and denied everything

771
01:03:30.320 --> 01:03:35.840
saying that they had not been,
but I told them again that the patient

772
01:03:35.960 --> 01:03:42.920
was saying that she had been one
of the nurses and the only ones present

773
01:03:43.039 --> 01:03:46.440
were the two of them. Evidently, someone was lying and by the patient

774
01:03:46.519 --> 01:03:51.719
' s arm, I could know
who he was. Without wasting time,

775
01:03:52.119 --> 01:03:54.960
I took them both in front of
that woman to tell me which of them

776
01:03:55.039 --> 01:04:00.239
had been responsible. She looked at
them and told me that it had not

777
01:04:00.400 --> 01:04:04.239
been either of them and described the
person to me again. I replied that

778
01:04:04.360 --> 01:04:10.320
they were the only two nurses who
were working there that night. The patient

779
01:04:10.519 --> 01:04:16.280
even bothered saying we were probably trying
to cover up someone when all that was

780
01:04:16.360 --> 01:04:20.400
over and we went back down to
the reception. I asked them if they

781
01:04:20.400 --> 01:04:25.760
' d seen anyone suspicious get in
or out of the hospital. Both nurses

782
01:04:25.800 --> 01:04:30.000
looked at each other and one of
them told me that the truth was that

783
01:04:30.119 --> 01:04:35.079
there was no other suspicious person who
had come in or out, who was

784
01:04:35.239 --> 01:04:40.039
simply Nurse Lourdes. I asked them
who Nurse Lourdes was, to which I

785
01:04:40.079 --> 01:04:44.679
was told that she had been a
nurse who had worked there for many years,

786
01:04:45.360 --> 01:04:48.079
but that one day she had stopped
and died in one of the rooms

787
01:04:48.199 --> 01:04:54.679
all over the chess that day.
No one noticed it until a couple of

788
01:04:54.760 --> 01:04:59.800
hours later. According to what they
said, she was very upset that she

789
01:04:59.800 --> 01:05:02.800
had given many years of her life
to that institution and that no one was

790
01:05:02.920 --> 01:05:06.960
good at realizing that she was no
longer there. The truth is, I

791
01:05:08.000 --> 01:05:11.639
didn' t believe them at all. Nor could I find an explanation for

792
01:05:11.760 --> 01:05:16.360
what had happened. A couple of
days later something else happened to me that

793
01:05:16.480 --> 01:05:20.639
made me confirm that strange things were
happening in that place. Seriously, because

794
01:05:21.239 --> 01:05:27.239
while I was making a little rondin, I saw that in one of the

795
01:05:27.679 --> 01:05:31.599
rooms was a woman sitting in bed. I asked her if she needed anything

796
01:05:31.719 --> 01:05:36.119
and she said that her arm hurt
so much and asked me to help her.

797
01:05:36.760 --> 01:05:41.920
When I was about to enter the
room, one of the nurses asked

798
01:05:42.039 --> 01:05:45.079
me what I was doing. I
went back to see her and told her

799
01:05:45.159 --> 01:05:50.079
the patient had a sore arm.
That doctor looked strange to me and said

800
01:05:50.199 --> 01:05:54.920
yes, to which patient, to
which I replied that the one in that

801
01:05:55.119 --> 01:06:01.400
room at the time we turned,
but the way was completely empty. I

802
01:06:01.519 --> 01:06:08.800
stuttered and even got pale. I
assured him there was someone there. She

803
01:06:08.920 --> 01:06:14.800
tried to reassure me and told me
that of course she believed me because many

804
01:06:14.840 --> 01:06:18.400
claimed to have seen someone right in
that room, but that the truth was

805
01:06:18.519 --> 01:06:23.239
that no one knew who I was. After that day I was transferred back

806
01:06:23.360 --> 01:06:27.840
to the hospital that was closer to
me and I never agreed to go to

807
01:06:27.920 --> 01:06:42.079
that hospital again the lonely dead.
I worked for a love that I public

808
01:06:42.159 --> 01:06:45.239
for a long time and is that
the more you are in that area,

809
01:06:45.840 --> 01:06:48.840
the more you realize that very often
there are people who are just forgotten.

810
01:06:49.360 --> 01:06:54.599
Usually, I didn' t have
that much empathy for the dead. I

811
01:06:54.679 --> 01:06:58.840
was uncomfortable thinking that they would cremate
themselves and go to a mass grave,

812
01:06:59.639 --> 01:07:03.039
but I didn' t mind.
Usually, they were elderly over the years,

813
01:07:03.400 --> 01:07:09.239
I basically lost all kinds of empathy
until one day someone quite peculiar had

814
01:07:09.360 --> 01:07:16.360
found it in their apartment. Everything
pointed to a cardiac arrest. I don

815
01:07:16.440 --> 01:07:19.679
' t understand what happened to me, but the moment I saw him lying

816
01:07:19.800 --> 01:07:25.679
on the stretcher, something caused me. He didn' t look like anyone

817
01:07:25.800 --> 01:07:30.760
I knew and he looked maybe three
years older than me. I hadn'

818
01:07:30.119 --> 01:07:34.639
t had a strong accident or anything
that would get my attention, either,

819
01:07:35.000 --> 01:07:40.239
but I did. After evaluating and
determining that he had indeed died of cardiac

820
01:07:40.400 --> 01:07:45.360
arrest. I asked if his family
had already been located, something I had

821
01:07:45.360 --> 01:07:51.320
certainly never asked yet. No one
got weird and they just told me that

822
01:07:51.440 --> 01:07:56.639
the truth is, there wasn'
t a single phone number in the apartment

823
01:07:56.760 --> 01:08:01.519
where they found him just his ID. Out of respect, I don'

824
01:08:01.639 --> 01:08:06.159
t think I should say the name, but I' ll just say that

825
01:08:06.239 --> 01:08:10.320
as soon as I was told,
I was pretty shocked. It was such

826
01:08:10.440 --> 01:08:14.760
a strange feeling as if I knew
him, despite never having seen him in

827
01:08:14.880 --> 01:08:19.119
my life. At first I didn' t think he' d be one

828
01:08:19.279 --> 01:08:23.720
of those people that nobody was going
to claim. All they had to do

829
01:08:23.840 --> 01:08:28.520
was investigate what was right and eventually
someone would come for the body. But

830
01:08:28.840 --> 01:08:31.880
in passing the days in which a
body must be kept by obligation, no

831
01:08:31.880 --> 01:08:36.479
one arrived and for some reason,
despite having no empathy with virtually any person.

832
01:08:40.439 --> 01:08:44.920
This guy in particular was very sympathetic
to me. So much so almost

833
01:08:45.119 --> 01:08:49.680
every day I asked if anyone had
already gone to claim it, but I

834
01:08:49.760 --> 01:08:54.640
didn' t even get to investigate
it. She was quite obsessed with him

835
01:08:54.680 --> 01:08:59.840
being claimed by his family. I
thought that at least I should have something

836
01:08:59.880 --> 01:09:02.960
that as soon as the days of
overtime were spent so that a corpse would

837
01:09:03.119 --> 01:09:09.800
be kept in the morgue, we
started preparing it to be cremated and put

838
01:09:10.039 --> 01:09:14.520
in a mass grave, I remember
that I looked at it with a lot

839
01:09:14.640 --> 01:09:19.560
of sympathy and even did something that
had never made her hair caress a little

840
01:09:19.760 --> 01:09:24.600
and I asked her for an apology
for not being able to wait for her

841
01:09:24.600 --> 01:09:27.720
family any longer. This affected me
to such an extent that as soon as

842
01:09:27.800 --> 01:09:31.399
they took him away and he was
no longer in that area of the morgue

843
01:09:31.479 --> 01:09:35.720
yet I became so obsessed that with
the name I had of him, I

844
01:09:35.760 --> 01:09:39.520
tried to look for him on any
social network I could find. And the

845
01:09:39.600 --> 01:09:45.000
truth is, I was surprised that
I basically had a profile created in every

846
01:09:45.079 --> 01:09:47.880
application I could think of. When
I checked their lists of friends, even

847
01:09:47.960 --> 01:09:55.199
though I had enough, I realized
they were pretty random people. I started

848
01:09:55.279 --> 01:09:59.520
texting every person on every social network
I found him on to tell them what

849
01:09:59.560 --> 01:10:03.359
had happened to his body, but
I realized that none of those people knew

850
01:10:03.760 --> 01:10:12.680
him. Actually. Most of them
told me he was just a guy they

851
01:10:12.760 --> 01:10:15.840
' d talked to a couple of
times online and they' d never met

852
01:10:15.920 --> 01:10:20.680
him in real life. Someone else
told me that I had only accepted the

853
01:10:20.680 --> 01:10:26.880
application, but I really hadn'
t even talked to him once. Others

854
01:10:27.000 --> 01:10:31.159
were online game players who had added
each other, but they didn' t

855
01:10:31.239 --> 01:10:36.720
really know each other. After spending
several days doing that, I gave up

856
01:10:36.920 --> 01:10:42.319
and convinced myself that that man had
no one in the whole world. I

857
01:10:42.399 --> 01:10:45.960
felt a little bad. I didn' t understand what was wrong with that

858
01:10:45.960 --> 01:10:49.800
man. She had never been very
religious, but having grown up in a

859
01:10:49.920 --> 01:10:55.560
Catholic family. I thought maybe he
was praying for his soul in a church.

860
01:10:55.960 --> 01:10:59.640
That could calm me down a little, at least morally. That'

861
01:10:59.720 --> 01:11:02.439
s what he did, but getting
out of there, I really didn'

862
01:11:02.560 --> 01:11:05.920
t feel better. I just felt
a little silly, not because I prayed,

863
01:11:06.079 --> 01:11:12.560
but because I was getting too involved
with a person I hadn' t

864
01:11:12.680 --> 01:11:16.880
even met and I shouldn' t
be obsessed with. Because I wasn'

865
01:11:16.960 --> 01:11:21.920
t healthy for work. I went
to sleep still holding that man in my

866
01:11:23.000 --> 01:11:27.640
head, feeling sorry for what was
only in this world. When I fell

867
01:11:27.760 --> 01:11:32.000
asleep, I woke up around 3
a m between dreams. I was listening

868
01:11:32.079 --> 01:11:38.119
to someone. I thought it was
a dream. The more I regained consciousness

869
01:11:38.239 --> 01:11:42.920
the more I realized that it was
not a dream and that voice was really

870
01:11:43.000 --> 01:11:47.880
being heard in my altered room.
I turned on the lamp that was in

871
01:11:47.880 --> 01:11:51.920
my dresser, but there was no
one there. I tried to calm down,

872
01:11:53.199 --> 01:11:57.880
thinking maybe I was just getting too
involved and it was a horrible joke

873
01:11:58.000 --> 01:12:01.800
that my brain was messing with me. I even thought that first thing in

874
01:12:01.840 --> 01:12:06.600
the morning I' d make an
appointment with my psychologist to stop having such

875
01:12:06.680 --> 01:12:11.399
strange thoughts and go back to sleep. But in the days that followed,

876
01:12:11.960 --> 01:12:15.600
all that happened was that I started
dreaming about it. Normally he was only

877
01:12:15.680 --> 01:12:20.640
at the bottom of a tumult of
people, but he could still hear his

878
01:12:20.640 --> 01:12:25.960
voice. I felt like I was
completely freaking out. I didn' t

879
01:12:26.079 --> 01:12:30.560
understand why I was dreaming that kind
of thing. I went to the psychologist

880
01:12:30.680 --> 01:12:33.560
several times a week trying to get
these strange dreams out of my head.

881
01:12:34.399 --> 01:12:40.800
But after a few weeks something happened
that made me realize they were more than

882
01:12:40.880 --> 01:12:45.439
dreams. After a couple of days, the atmosphere in the morgue began to

883
01:12:45.479 --> 01:12:49.399
feel very strange, It was very
heavy, almost as if the negativity was

884
01:12:49.439 --> 01:12:56.600
invading the place and also began to
affect us. There were two other companions

885
01:12:56.720 --> 01:13:00.560
and we all started to feel irritable
and annoying. We fought a lot that

886
01:13:01.039 --> 01:13:05.000
day, and the truth is,
it was just little things that didn'

887
01:13:05.000 --> 01:13:09.319
t even deserve a fight. But
we still got out of work that day,

888
01:13:10.159 --> 01:13:14.039
all of us having fought against everyone. When I went to sleep,

889
01:13:14.279 --> 01:13:18.279
the dream was not as peaceful as
ever. It was the opposite. Now

890
01:13:18.560 --> 01:13:24.680
he was angry. That being woke
up startled and I tried to forget that

891
01:13:24.680 --> 01:13:28.600
dream. He' s been bothering
me all day to my surprise. When

892
01:13:28.680 --> 01:13:31.720
I got to work, my partner
was there, too. He looked at

893
01:13:31.720 --> 01:13:38.800
me, he looked too obnoxious I
asked him if he had had a bad

894
01:13:38.920 --> 01:13:43.479
night and he said that something very
strange had happened to him, that he

895
01:13:43.520 --> 01:13:46.920
had dreamed of an intrigued man.
I asked him to describe it to me

896
01:13:46.920 --> 01:13:50.520
and after he did, I told
him what had happened and who he was.

897
01:13:51.680 --> 01:13:57.159
This scared him a lot and the
worst part was that we tried to

898
01:13:57.159 --> 01:14:00.000
ignore him. After that day he
told me that something, strange things had

899
01:14:00.000 --> 01:14:04.359
been going on in his house.
He said the plates were falling off the

900
01:14:04.560 --> 01:14:10.960
shelves and that the glasses were flying
out until they broke up against the wall

901
01:14:11.399 --> 01:14:16.079
I decided to go clean up to
get rid of any spirit and almost when

902
01:14:16.439 --> 01:14:23.840
I arrived the shaman told me that
he did bring someone following me and made

903
01:14:23.920 --> 01:14:28.680
me a complete clean for my luck, he disappeared. After that I never

904
01:14:28.760 --> 01:14:33.119
saw him again. I guess it
was somehow my fault for obsessing like that

905
01:14:33.479 --> 01:14:43.920
on that man' s body.
