00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:11.240
The apparitions. It was a girl. When one Wednesday morning, my dad
2
00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:16.399
got really scared into the house.
He had gone to the bus station to
3
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:22.000
process his car. As soon as
my father arrived, he turned on the
4
00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:27.120
television to watch the news and what
was happening around the station. In the
5
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:31.239
house we only met my mother and
I. He told us that he was
6
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:37.039
trained when he heard a very loud
noise that scared him right away, the
7
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:41.439
sirens of ambulances and firemen began to
be heard in the collector' s office.
8
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:45.280
They only warned that they were going
to close for a horrible moment that
9
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:47.880
had happened very close. That'
s where they all started running. My
10
00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:51.759
father also ran and came as soon
as he could to the house and told
11
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:55.600
us that they did not want to
tell them what was happening, but that
12
00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:59.600
it was better that they get out
of the perimeter of risk, that they
13
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:02.960
all go home. When my dad
got so scared, my mother and I
14
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:07.560
had no idea what had happened through
the special news. It was, as
15
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:12.719
we learned, that explosions had occurred, mainly in the Analco neighborhood, but
16
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:19.040
other colonies, such as San Carlos, Atlas and Las Conchas, had also
17
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:23.159
been affected. The explosions occurred on
April 22nd of a thousand nine hundred and
18
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:29.799
ninety- two as a result of
an explosion of hydrocarbons that opened the streets
19
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:33.959
of these colonies. Many people died
in those explosions and so many others were
20
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:38.040
injured. The most affected street was
Ghent. I think it was in it
21
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:42.040
that the highest number of deaths were
recorded. Some bodies were found, but
22
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:48.200
others were not. His relatives were
trying to find his loved ones to bury
23
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:53.120
him without succeeding. There were such
sad images where moms were looking for their
24
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:57.760
children in the rubble. At that
time this tragedy occurred, I did not
25
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:01.760
understand the effect of this fact.
I was only twelve when I grew up
26
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:07.200
I saw things from another perspective.
At that time, my house was away
27
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:10.520
from this area, so there was
no danger of new explosions happening, because
28
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:15.240
among the population a paranoia was created
in which it was thought that at any
29
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:21.840
moment the sewers could explode, so
all the neighbors began to open them.
30
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:29.479
In this way avoid a possible explosion
when I was older. After I finished
31
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:32.560
my studies, I started working in
a company that was in that area.
32
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:38.280
As I walked through those streets,
there were no traces of the damage that
33
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:44.599
occurred years ago, but the people
who still lived in that place kept that
34
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:50.000
tragedy latent by that date. I
had already been asked to rent the apartment
35
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:55.159
next to my partner Patty. We
had both joined the same company. We
36
00:02:55.159 --> 00:03:00.439
were disappointed because we lived very well
in that place, but we had no
37
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:07.000
choice. It was necessary to change
residence while walking through the streets of Analco
38
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:12.800
we used to look for an apartment
or house for rent, because we did
39
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:16.319
not have so much time to do
so, since our working day absorbed us
40
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:22.280
most of the time. Besides,
we were too tired to keep looking for
41
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:27.439
a house. On one occasion we
were lucky enough to find a small rental
42
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:32.159
home. It was on Ghent Street, very close to our workplace. We
43
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:37.919
immediately contacted the owner. He gave
us an appointment to see the house and,
44
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:43.599
if we agreed to the requirements,
we could sign the contract. The
45
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:46.240
house wasn' t very big,
but it had everything you needed. There
46
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:51.479
were two rooms, one for Patti
and one for me. The rent seemed
47
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:55.080
accessible to us. Without hesitation.
We said yes. We agreed, so
48
00:03:55.159 --> 00:04:00.639
soon we went to live in a
new colony, Analco. From the beginning,
49
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:04.759
something in the environment made me feel
uncomfortable, as if there was a
50
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:10.159
strange energy floating in the air.
But since we were two young girls and
51
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:15.040
the rent from the apartment had a
very good price, we decided to ignore
52
00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:19.079
that feeling and settle down. We
did not forget that several years ago a
53
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:24.720
series of explosions had occurred in the
area, resulting in dozens of deaths and
54
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:30.160
injuries. We both believed that,
perhaps through time those emotions from when the
55
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:33.199
accident occurred, had been left in
the air. But it was very strange
56
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:38.759
to us, because before we went
through that street and we never noticed anything.
57
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:45.079
One night something terrifying happened while we
were watching a movie in the living
58
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:49.000
room. Suddenly, all the lights
went out and we heard a deafening rumble.
59
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:53.279
Patty and I looked at each other
in fear without knowing what to do.
60
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:59.120
That' s when we saw that
the walls of the apartment began to
61
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:04.199
tremble and the ground moved under our
feet. At that time I remembered the
62
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:10.639
explosions of the past and thought something
similar was happening with the heart in hand.
63
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:15.079
I grabbed Patti and we ran out
of the apartment. Outside the street.
64
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:19.240
He was in complete chaos. The
neighbors shouted and ran in all directions,
65
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:26.319
some crying and others trying to call
their loved ones. Finally, everything
66
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:30.279
went back to normal. We realized
that it was a tremor, which lasted
67
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:35.079
a few more seconds. After he
stopped, we calmed down a bit,
68
00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:41.879
tried to get our nerves off and
returned to our apartment, although that night
69
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:45.759
it was hard for us to fall
asleep. As the morning progressed, we
70
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:50.600
began to hear a sound that filled
us with terror. Rims and laments coming
71
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:56.360
from the street. At first we
thought they were neighbors frightened by the tremor.
72
00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:00.439
As we looked out the window,
we saw that there was no one
73
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:04.040
outside. However, crying and lamenting
became ever stronger and more desperate, as
74
00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:12.600
if someone were suffering immense pain.
Padi and I looked at each other with
75
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:15.079
concern. We realized something wasn'
t right on that street, but we
76
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:21.279
couldn' t understand what was going
on. We decided to go out and
77
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:27.439
investigate, but when we opened the
apartment door we found a scene that left
78
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:30.399
us paralyzed. The street was completely
empty, but the light from the lamps
79
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:35.240
flashed as if they were about to
go out. The trees moved without wind.
80
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:40.600
The scariest thing was that, suddenly, a figure appeared in the middle
81
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:44.319
of the street, a woman dressed
in white rocking from one side to the
82
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:49.279
other crying dissolubly. We cling to
each other without knowing what to do.
83
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:55.480
The woman slowly approached us with her
hair- covered face, began to murmur,
84
00:06:56.240 --> 00:07:00.680
something we could not understand. His
voice was so unscathing that we felt
85
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:08.600
a chill running through our body at
the time we realized that something supernatural was
86
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:14.160
happening. We ran back to the
apartment and locked the door, feeling terrified
87
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:20.160
by what we had just witnessed.
The night was long and difficult, with
88
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:25.759
the cries and laments ringing endlessly in
the street. From that night on,
89
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:30.480
the presence of the woman dressed in
white became more and more frequent on the
90
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:33.920
street. We often saw her walk
from one side to the other with her
91
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:39.600
eyes lost and her arms stretched out. His crying was louder and more heartbreaking
92
00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:44.519
than ever before, and the neighbors
began to comment on his presence in the
93
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:47.959
area. At first, many refused
to believe in the existence of ghosts,
94
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:54.319
but over time, more people began
to see the woman in white In the
95
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:59.600
early morning there were even cases of
people claiming to have seen her in their
96
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:03.439
own vines crying in the dark.
I couldn' t sleep at night.
97
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:09.360
I woke up startled by the laments
and screams on the street and often looked
98
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:15.199
out of the window to see if
the woman in white was there. Although
99
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:18.879
she feared to find her face,
she could not help but feel a strange
100
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:24.279
fascination for her. One day I
decided that I had to know who that
101
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:28.319
woman was and why I was tormenting
the inhabitants of Ghent Street, so I
102
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:33.960
started talking to the neighbors. I
asked them when they saw that woman.
103
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:39.720
I managed to discover something that I
had already assumed because of the terrible tragedy
104
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:43.799
of the explosions of ninety- two. According to the elderly, from that
105
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:50.720
time on the woman began to appear
on the street. At first not everyone
106
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:56.279
could see it. Over time it
was visible to all people. The woman
107
00:08:56.360 --> 00:09:00.240
dressed in white was said to be
the ghost of one of the victims of
108
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:05.200
the accident, who continued to wander
the street seeking revenge for what had happened
109
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:09.759
to her. Some neighbors said that
women were capable of possessing people and committing
110
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:16.120
terrible acts. I didn' t
know if to believe those stories, but
111
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:20.519
what was clear was that something strange
was happening. I decided to investigate further,
112
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:26.720
but what I discovered was even more
frightening. There were several cases of
113
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:31.919
persons mysteriously missing in the area and
rumored that the white woman had something to
114
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:37.000
do with those disappearances. The place
became dangerous, and not only because of
115
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:41.679
the theft of auto parts, but
because it became a space full of mysteries.
116
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:46.919
I knew it wasn' t wise
for us to stay there, but
117
00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:52.360
we had nowhere else to live.
The woman in white kept showing up in
118
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:56.639
the morning. At least I tried
to stay away from her if I wanted
119
00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:01.600
nothing bad to happen to me.
One summer night, the weather changed dramatically
120
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:05.600
and it started to rain very hard. The rain hit the windows and walls
121
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:11.320
so hard that it seemed like the
building was shaking. As the storm escalated,
122
00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:16.000
the electricity started to fail and finally
the light went out throughout the building.
123
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:22.559
The darkness took over everything and the
sound of the rain seemed deafening.
124
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:26.720
In the stillness of the night,
in the darkness strange things began to be
125
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:33.759
heard, unintelligible whispers, steps approaching
and moving away and the sharp laughter of
126
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:37.320
a woman. Soon everyone realized that
the woman was on the street again,
127
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:43.919
but this time her presence was even
darker than ever before. In the dark,
128
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:50.519
the white figure seemed almost unreal as
if it were a specter that faded
129
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:56.559
away and reappeared unceasingly. Some neighbors
began to tremble with fear and others tried
130
00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:00.720
to ignore the woman' s presence, but it was impossible. The laughter
131
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:05.120
and laments that came out of the
ghost figure were getting louder and louder and
132
00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:09.840
the rain continued to fall. The
night became long and endless. Besides,
133
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:15.039
the electricity didn' t come back
until morning. It was a night to
134
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:18.960
forget, but the image of the
woman was engraved in everyone' s mind.
135
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:24.200
No one could explain what had happened
that night and some neighbors decided to
136
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:31.879
move out of the area frightened by
what they had experienced since that night.
137
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:37.720
The presence of the woman became even
more frequent and strange events multiplied. Many
138
00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:43.399
wondered whether the rain and darkness had
triggered something more sinister that had remained hidden
139
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:50.879
for years. That woman became an
urban legend in the area. Some claimed
140
00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:56.919
to have seen and heard her on
the darkest and most stormy nights. Despite
141
00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:01.159
the fear that continued to generate,
people could not help but feel a morbid
142
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:07.279
fascination for the ghost figure. Some
decided to investigate more about events that had
143
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:13.440
occurred on Ghent Street in the past. What they found was even more disturbing
144
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:18.120
than they had imagined. They discovered
that the woman' s story was more
145
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:22.879
intertwined with past events than they had
believed and that her presence could be an
146
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:28.000
indication of something much darker and more
dangerous. So I kept asking more,
147
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:35.559
especially those older people who had lived
in the area for decades. I discovered
148
00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:39.279
something I didn' t know whether
to believe, maybe everything was a product
149
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:43.840
of those people' s imagination.
I was told that when that terrible event
150
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:50.759
of the explosions occurred, many people
died, including a young woman wearing a
151
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:54.720
white dress. At the time of
the accident, the woman was named Cecilia,
152
00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:58.600
had been found dead in the rubble, with an expression of fear on
153
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:03.440
her face. According to the accounts
of the time, Cecilia had been a
154
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:07.759
very popular woman in the area.
Her death had been a tragedy for all
155
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:13.200
who knew her. But what no
one knew was that Cecilia had been involved
156
00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:20.759
in dark and dangerous activities and that
she had died because she had discovered secrets
157
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:24.159
she should never have known. It
gave me the chill to know that truth,
158
00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:28.600
but I also doubted its veracity.
She could not conceive of how Cecilia
159
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:33.360
came from beyond to get revenge on
those who had betrayed her, although when
160
00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:39.639
she heard the laments, the whispers
and the laughter that came from the street
161
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:43.039
began to make more sense. The
more I investigated, the more I went
162
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:48.200
into the dark secrets of that street. I realized that I had gotten into
163
00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:54.600
something dangerous because, as I got
more information, mysterious and strange events began
164
00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:58.759
to happen in my apartment. I
began to hear strange noises at night,
165
00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:03.559
to see shadows moving around the house
and to feel the presence of something I
166
00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:09.879
could not explain. Cecilia' s
presence had moved from the street to our
167
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:16.440
home. At first, the feeling
of his presence was barely perceptible as a
168
00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:20.840
shadow moving in the room, but
with the passage of time, his figure
169
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:26.480
became stronger and oppressive. My partner
and I began to notice that we felt
170
00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:33.240
extremely tired and exhausted all the time. Our mood became gloomy and heavy.
171
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:41.240
Sometimes we felt like something was absorbing
us. Every time we noticed that Cecilia
172
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:46.600
' s presence had become so intense
that she seemed to want to absorb our
173
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:50.480
energy. It was necessary to do
something to free us from the influence of
174
00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:56.279
that woman, because I felt that
every day I began to lose my capacity
175
00:14:56.279 --> 00:14:58.960
for consciousness and will. So I
started searching the Internet for how to deal
176
00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:05.720
with supernatural spirits or presences. I
found some remedies I put into practice,
177
00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:09.720
but they didn' t give me
any results. They only made the spirit
178
00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:15.000
of cecilia more altered. When we
talked to a neighbor who worked in a
179
00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:18.919
local market. She told us of
a more powerful ritual that promised to expel
180
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:26.080
any evil entity from our home.
We gather all the necessary elements. On
181
00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:30.720
a full moon night. We began
the ritual, which was long and exhausting.
182
00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:35.519
We had to recite long prayers and
make offerings. As the ritual progressed.
183
00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:41.360
We felt the even more intense presence
of the white woman caused the room
184
00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:46.399
to be filled with a dense and
cold haze. It seemed like someone was
185
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:52.960
whispering something in our ears. After
a while, everything was quiet. We
186
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:56.799
stop perceiving the sounds and the sinister
shadow. For a while we thought it
187
00:15:56.879 --> 00:16:00.360
was all over. We even had
it left. We' re sitting on
188
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:04.720
the couch like waiting for something sudden
to come, but it didn' t
189
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:08.480
happen like that. Both Pati and
I thought it was all over. However,
190
00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:14.399
it was not that simple. In
the night, when everything was silent,
191
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:18.600
only the persistent sound of rain was
heard as it fell on the floor
192
00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:25.240
and the thunder of the rays.
Again I began to hear noises outside my
193
00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:30.120
room. I went out cautiously to
tell Patty something strange was going on.
194
00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:34.080
He didn' t have to.
She had also listened and was outside her
195
00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:38.840
room. We both looked at each
other in despair. Suddenly, everything turned
196
00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:45.759
into chaos. The frets began to
fall. The few objects we had started
197
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:49.840
to move. The curtains were moving
as if there was a strong gust of
198
00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:53.879
wind. All I could think of
was getting close to Patti. She grabbed
199
00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:57.559
me tightly by the hand. I
told him it was necessary to get out
200
00:16:57.559 --> 00:17:02.759
of there. We were able to
do it, but with great difficulty,
201
00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:06.720
because it seemed that some of the
objects threw them directly at us. In
202
00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:12.400
fact, one of the paintings we
had hit Patti. When we closed the
203
00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:18.599
door, we got to hear some
of the objects that were turning hit her.
204
00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:22.799
We both stayed for a few minutes
without knowing what to do. It
205
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:26.920
was too late to ask for help. It was raining really hard. Besides,
206
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:32.039
no one would believe what was happening. Desperate and tired, we went
207
00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:36.640
to sit on the stairs of the
building at least there we did not get
208
00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:40.920
wet and we stayed, safe from
the aggressions that occurred inside the apartment.
209
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:45.519
I don' t know if it
was much of our luck, or there
210
00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:49.599
really are angels who help us and
protect us because a neighbor upstairs who had
211
00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:55.480
never seen her came out and asked
us if everything was okay. We told
212
00:17:55.559 --> 00:18:00.559
him almost crying that we weren'
t too afraid about what was going on
213
00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:03.279
in our apartment. She sat with
us. He asked us what we had
214
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:07.119
done. We told him without details
about the ritual. She explained to us
215
00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:11.279
that most likely we had not succeeded
in fading the appearance of the woman dressed
216
00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:15.960
in white, but, on the
contrary, we had opened more portals in
217
00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:21.839
which other souls who were trapped had
managed to get out. He also told
218
00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:27.000
us that such rituals are not done
without previous knowledge. That' s why
219
00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:30.680
we only opened the portals, but
we didn' t know how to close
220
00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:34.559
them. She told us she'
d try to help us, but she
221
00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:37.359
didn' t know if she'
d make it. Thank you, we
222
00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:41.240
hug her. The woman was about
forty years old on her face. There
223
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:45.480
was a scar that crossed his right
cheekbone. He went home for certain items
224
00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:52.799
that would help orient the spirits that
were in our apartment Outside followed the very
225
00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:57.880
heavy rain with the lightnings that suddenly
lit up the darkness. The neighbor came
226
00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:03.440
down from her apartment and told us
she' d come into our apartment We
227
00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:04.920
were going after her. He gave
us a signal with his hand to stop
228
00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:11.519
us. She preferred to enter our
apartment alone. They kept listening to how
229
00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:17.839
the objects moved. I can'
t tell you how much time happened,
230
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:22.160
but it did happen a long time. Suddenly we stopped listening to the noises.
231
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:26.960
Then our neighbor came out. She
felt very tired. He told us
232
00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:30.799
he made it. The spirits had
left, It was the souls who had
233
00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:36.559
died on the day of the explosions, who had lived in that building and
234
00:19:36.559 --> 00:19:41.000
who failed to live. Without saying
more, he climbed the ladder and left
235
00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:45.480
when I reacted. I went after
her, but I didn' t see
236
00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:48.920
what department she was in. Pati
talked to me to tell me we could
237
00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:53.839
get into our apartment. Everything was
quiet. There was only one mess about
238
00:19:53.839 --> 00:20:00.559
the things that were lying down,
but no more strange situation happened. We
239
00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:03.559
were so tired, we fell asleep. We were awakened by the sunlight that
240
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:08.039
leaked through the window. We no
longer saw the figure of the woman in
241
00:20:08.039 --> 00:20:12.279
white. At night we went up
to the other floor to find the woman
242
00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:17.720
who had helped us. We saw
a neighbor who left her apartment. We
243
00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:21.359
asked her how we didn' t
know her name. We described it to
244
00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:26.640
her. She told us we were
wrong on that floor. Only she lived
245
00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:30.519
with her children in the other apartment. I was busy with a couple of
246
00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:34.759
old people. The neighbor, seeing
our surprise face, asked us if she
247
00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:41.200
had a scar on her right cheek. We said yes. She told us
248
00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:44.759
she wasn' t alive anymore.
He' s been taking his own life
249
00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:48.839
for a long time. She had
lived in the same apartment that we were
250
00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:52.400
occupying. I didn' t understand
what the neighbor told us or how we
251
00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:57.279
got that help. We thought as
soon as we could, we' d
252
00:20:57.319 --> 00:21:02.759
leave that apartment. But the events
had stopped at least in our house,
253
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:07.519
because in the street at night voices
and laments were still being heard from people
254
00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:22.519
who died many years ago. Story
written and adapted by Adriana Cuevas
1
00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:11.240
The apparitions. It was a girl. When one Wednesday morning, my dad
2
00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:16.399
got really scared into the house.
He had gone to the bus station to
3
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:22.000
process his car. As soon as
my father arrived, he turned on the
4
00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:27.120
television to watch the news and what
was happening around the station. In the
5
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:31.239
house we only met my mother and
I. He told us that he was
6
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:37.039
trained when he heard a very loud
noise that scared him right away, the
7
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:41.439
sirens of ambulances and firemen began to
be heard in the collector' s office.
8
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:45.280
They only warned that they were going
to close for a horrible moment that
9
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:47.880
had happened very close. That'
s where they all started running. My
10
00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:51.759
father also ran and came as soon
as he could to the house and told
11
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:55.600
us that they did not want to
tell them what was happening, but that
12
00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:59.600
it was better that they get out
of the perimeter of risk, that they
13
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:02.960
all go home. When my dad
got so scared, my mother and I
14
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:07.560
had no idea what had happened through
the special news. It was, as
15
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:12.719
we learned, that explosions had occurred, mainly in the Analco neighborhood, but
16
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:19.040
other colonies, such as San Carlos, Atlas and Las Conchas, had also
17
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:23.159
been affected. The explosions occurred on
April 22nd of a thousand nine hundred and
18
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:29.799
ninety- two as a result of
an explosion of hydrocarbons that opened the streets
19
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:33.959
of these colonies. Many people died
in those explosions and so many others were
20
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:38.040
injured. The most affected street was
Ghent. I think it was in it
21
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:42.040
that the highest number of deaths were
recorded. Some bodies were found, but
22
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:48.200
others were not. His relatives were
trying to find his loved ones to bury
23
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:53.120
him without succeeding. There were such
sad images where moms were looking for their
24
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:57.760
children in the rubble. At that
time this tragedy occurred, I did not
25
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:01.760
understand the effect of this fact.
I was only twelve when I grew up
26
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:07.200
I saw things from another perspective.
At that time, my house was away
27
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:10.520
from this area, so there was
no danger of new explosions happening, because
28
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:15.240
among the population a paranoia was created
in which it was thought that at any
29
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:21.840
moment the sewers could explode, so
all the neighbors began to open them.
30
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:29.479
In this way avoid a possible explosion
when I was older. After I finished
31
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:32.560
my studies, I started working in
a company that was in that area.
32
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:38.280
As I walked through those streets,
there were no traces of the damage that
33
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:44.599
occurred years ago, but the people
who still lived in that place kept that
34
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:50.000
tragedy latent by that date. I
had already been asked to rent the apartment
35
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:55.159
next to my partner Patty. We
had both joined the same company. We
36
00:02:55.159 --> 00:03:00.439
were disappointed because we lived very well
in that place, but we had no
37
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:07.000
choice. It was necessary to change
residence while walking through the streets of Analco
38
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:12.800
we used to look for an apartment
or house for rent, because we did
39
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:16.319
not have so much time to do
so, since our working day absorbed us
40
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:22.280
most of the time. Besides,
we were too tired to keep looking for
41
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:27.439
a house. On one occasion we
were lucky enough to find a small rental
42
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:32.159
home. It was on Ghent Street, very close to our workplace. We
43
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:37.919
immediately contacted the owner. He gave
us an appointment to see the house and,
44
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:43.599
if we agreed to the requirements,
we could sign the contract. The
45
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:46.240
house wasn' t very big,
but it had everything you needed. There
46
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:51.479
were two rooms, one for Patti
and one for me. The rent seemed
47
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:55.080
accessible to us. Without hesitation.
We said yes. We agreed, so
48
00:03:55.159 --> 00:04:00.639
soon we went to live in a
new colony, Analco. From the beginning,
49
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:04.759
something in the environment made me feel
uncomfortable, as if there was a
50
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:10.159
strange energy floating in the air.
But since we were two young girls and
51
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:15.040
the rent from the apartment had a
very good price, we decided to ignore
52
00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:19.079
that feeling and settle down. We
did not forget that several years ago a
53
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:24.720
series of explosions had occurred in the
area, resulting in dozens of deaths and
54
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:30.160
injuries. We both believed that,
perhaps through time those emotions from when the
55
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:33.199
accident occurred, had been left in
the air. But it was very strange
56
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:38.759
to us, because before we went
through that street and we never noticed anything.
57
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:45.079
One night something terrifying happened while we
were watching a movie in the living
58
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:49.000
room. Suddenly, all the lights
went out and we heard a deafening rumble.
59
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:53.279
Patty and I looked at each other
in fear without knowing what to do.
60
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:59.120
That' s when we saw that
the walls of the apartment began to
61
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:04.199
tremble and the ground moved under our
feet. At that time I remembered the
62
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:10.639
explosions of the past and thought something
similar was happening with the heart in hand.
63
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:15.079
I grabbed Patti and we ran out
of the apartment. Outside the street.
64
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:19.240
He was in complete chaos. The
neighbors shouted and ran in all directions,
65
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:26.319
some crying and others trying to call
their loved ones. Finally, everything
66
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:30.279
went back to normal. We realized
that it was a tremor, which lasted
67
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:35.079
a few more seconds. After he
stopped, we calmed down a bit,
68
00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:41.879
tried to get our nerves off and
returned to our apartment, although that night
69
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:45.759
it was hard for us to fall
asleep. As the morning progressed, we
70
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:50.600
began to hear a sound that filled
us with terror. Rims and laments coming
71
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:56.360
from the street. At first we
thought they were neighbors frightened by the tremor.
72
00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:00.439
As we looked out the window,
we saw that there was no one
73
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:04.040
outside. However, crying and lamenting
became ever stronger and more desperate, as
74
00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:12.600
if someone were suffering immense pain.
Padi and I looked at each other with
75
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:15.079
concern. We realized something wasn'
t right on that street, but we
76
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:21.279
couldn' t understand what was going
on. We decided to go out and
77
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:27.439
investigate, but when we opened the
apartment door we found a scene that left
78
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:30.399
us paralyzed. The street was completely
empty, but the light from the lamps
79
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:35.240
flashed as if they were about to
go out. The trees moved without wind.
80
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:40.600
The scariest thing was that, suddenly, a figure appeared in the middle
81
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:44.319
of the street, a woman dressed
in white rocking from one side to the
82
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:49.279
other crying dissolubly. We cling to
each other without knowing what to do.
83
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:55.480
The woman slowly approached us with her
hair- covered face, began to murmur,
84
00:06:56.240 --> 00:07:00.680
something we could not understand. His
voice was so unscathing that we felt
85
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:08.600
a chill running through our body at
the time we realized that something supernatural was
86
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:14.160
happening. We ran back to the
apartment and locked the door, feeling terrified
87
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:20.160
by what we had just witnessed.
The night was long and difficult, with
88
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:25.759
the cries and laments ringing endlessly in
the street. From that night on,
89
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:30.480
the presence of the woman dressed in
white became more and more frequent on the
90
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:33.920
street. We often saw her walk
from one side to the other with her
91
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:39.600
eyes lost and her arms stretched out. His crying was louder and more heartbreaking
92
00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:44.519
than ever before, and the neighbors
began to comment on his presence in the
93
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:47.959
area. At first, many refused
to believe in the existence of ghosts,
94
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:54.319
but over time, more people began
to see the woman in white In the
95
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:59.600
early morning there were even cases of
people claiming to have seen her in their
96
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:03.439
own vines crying in the dark.
I couldn' t sleep at night.
97
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:09.360
I woke up startled by the laments
and screams on the street and often looked
98
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:15.199
out of the window to see if
the woman in white was there. Although
99
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:18.879
she feared to find her face,
she could not help but feel a strange
100
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:24.279
fascination for her. One day I
decided that I had to know who that
101
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:28.319
woman was and why I was tormenting
the inhabitants of Ghent Street, so I
102
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:33.960
started talking to the neighbors. I
asked them when they saw that woman.
103
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:39.720
I managed to discover something that I
had already assumed because of the terrible tragedy
104
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:43.799
of the explosions of ninety- two. According to the elderly, from that
105
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:50.720
time on the woman began to appear
on the street. At first not everyone
106
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:56.279
could see it. Over time it
was visible to all people. The woman
107
00:08:56.360 --> 00:09:00.240
dressed in white was said to be
the ghost of one of the victims of
108
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:05.200
the accident, who continued to wander
the street seeking revenge for what had happened
109
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:09.759
to her. Some neighbors said that
women were capable of possessing people and committing
110
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:16.120
terrible acts. I didn' t
know if to believe those stories, but
111
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:20.519
what was clear was that something strange
was happening. I decided to investigate further,
112
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:26.720
but what I discovered was even more
frightening. There were several cases of
113
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:31.919
persons mysteriously missing in the area and
rumored that the white woman had something to
114
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:37.000
do with those disappearances. The place
became dangerous, and not only because of
115
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:41.679
the theft of auto parts, but
because it became a space full of mysteries.
116
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:46.919
I knew it wasn' t wise
for us to stay there, but
117
00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:52.360
we had nowhere else to live.
The woman in white kept showing up in
118
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:56.639
the morning. At least I tried
to stay away from her if I wanted
119
00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:01.600
nothing bad to happen to me.
One summer night, the weather changed dramatically
120
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:05.600
and it started to rain very hard. The rain hit the windows and walls
121
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:11.320
so hard that it seemed like the
building was shaking. As the storm escalated,
122
00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:16.000
the electricity started to fail and finally
the light went out throughout the building.
123
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:22.559
The darkness took over everything and the
sound of the rain seemed deafening.
124
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:26.720
In the stillness of the night,
in the darkness strange things began to be
125
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:33.759
heard, unintelligible whispers, steps approaching
and moving away and the sharp laughter of
126
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:37.320
a woman. Soon everyone realized that
the woman was on the street again,
127
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:43.919
but this time her presence was even
darker than ever before. In the dark,
128
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:50.519
the white figure seemed almost unreal as
if it were a specter that faded
129
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:56.559
away and reappeared unceasingly. Some neighbors
began to tremble with fear and others tried
130
00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:00.720
to ignore the woman' s presence, but it was impossible. The laughter
131
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:05.120
and laments that came out of the
ghost figure were getting louder and louder and
132
00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:09.840
the rain continued to fall. The
night became long and endless. Besides,
133
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:15.039
the electricity didn' t come back
until morning. It was a night to
134
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:18.960
forget, but the image of the
woman was engraved in everyone' s mind.
135
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:24.200
No one could explain what had happened
that night and some neighbors decided to
136
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:31.879
move out of the area frightened by
what they had experienced since that night.
137
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:37.720
The presence of the woman became even
more frequent and strange events multiplied. Many
138
00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:43.399
wondered whether the rain and darkness had
triggered something more sinister that had remained hidden
139
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:50.879
for years. That woman became an
urban legend in the area. Some claimed
140
00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:56.919
to have seen and heard her on
the darkest and most stormy nights. Despite
141
00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:01.159
the fear that continued to generate,
people could not help but feel a morbid
142
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:07.279
fascination for the ghost figure. Some
decided to investigate more about events that had
143
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:13.440
occurred on Ghent Street in the past. What they found was even more disturbing
144
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:18.120
than they had imagined. They discovered
that the woman' s story was more
145
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:22.879
intertwined with past events than they had
believed and that her presence could be an
146
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:28.000
indication of something much darker and more
dangerous. So I kept asking more,
147
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:35.559
especially those older people who had lived
in the area for decades. I discovered
148
00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:39.279
something I didn' t know whether
to believe, maybe everything was a product
149
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:43.840
of those people' s imagination.
I was told that when that terrible event
150
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:50.759
of the explosions occurred, many people
died, including a young woman wearing a
151
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:54.720
white dress. At the time of
the accident, the woman was named Cecilia,
152
00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:58.600
had been found dead in the rubble, with an expression of fear on
153
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:03.440
her face. According to the accounts
of the time, Cecilia had been a
154
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:07.759
very popular woman in the area.
Her death had been a tragedy for all
155
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:13.200
who knew her. But what no
one knew was that Cecilia had been involved
156
00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:20.759
in dark and dangerous activities and that
she had died because she had discovered secrets
157
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:24.159
she should never have known. It
gave me the chill to know that truth,
158
00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:28.600
but I also doubted its veracity.
She could not conceive of how Cecilia
159
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:33.360
came from beyond to get revenge on
those who had betrayed her, although when
160
00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:39.639
she heard the laments, the whispers
and the laughter that came from the street
161
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:43.039
began to make more sense. The
more I investigated, the more I went
162
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:48.200
into the dark secrets of that street. I realized that I had gotten into
163
00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:54.600
something dangerous because, as I got
more information, mysterious and strange events began
164
00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:58.759
to happen in my apartment. I
began to hear strange noises at night,
165
00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:03.559
to see shadows moving around the house
and to feel the presence of something I
166
00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:09.879
could not explain. Cecilia' s
presence had moved from the street to our
167
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:16.440
home. At first, the feeling
of his presence was barely perceptible as a
168
00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:20.840
shadow moving in the room, but
with the passage of time, his figure
169
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:26.480
became stronger and oppressive. My partner
and I began to notice that we felt
170
00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:33.240
extremely tired and exhausted all the time. Our mood became gloomy and heavy.
171
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:41.240
Sometimes we felt like something was absorbing
us. Every time we noticed that Cecilia
172
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:46.600
' s presence had become so intense
that she seemed to want to absorb our
173
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:50.480
energy. It was necessary to do
something to free us from the influence of
174
00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:56.279
that woman, because I felt that
every day I began to lose my capacity
175
00:14:56.279 --> 00:14:58.960
for consciousness and will. So I
started searching the Internet for how to deal
176
00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:05.720
with supernatural spirits or presences. I
found some remedies I put into practice,
177
00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:09.720
but they didn' t give me
any results. They only made the spirit
178
00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:15.000
of cecilia more altered. When we
talked to a neighbor who worked in a
179
00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:18.919
local market. She told us of
a more powerful ritual that promised to expel
180
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:26.080
any evil entity from our home.
We gather all the necessary elements. On
181
00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:30.720
a full moon night. We began
the ritual, which was long and exhausting.
182
00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:35.519
We had to recite long prayers and
make offerings. As the ritual progressed.
183
00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:41.360
We felt the even more intense presence
of the white woman caused the room
184
00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:46.399
to be filled with a dense and
cold haze. It seemed like someone was
185
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:52.960
whispering something in our ears. After
a while, everything was quiet. We
186
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:56.799
stop perceiving the sounds and the sinister
shadow. For a while we thought it
187
00:15:56.879 --> 00:16:00.360
was all over. We even had
it left. We' re sitting on
188
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:04.720
the couch like waiting for something sudden
to come, but it didn' t
189
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:08.480
happen like that. Both Pati and
I thought it was all over. However,
190
00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:14.399
it was not that simple. In
the night, when everything was silent,
191
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:18.600
only the persistent sound of rain was
heard as it fell on the floor
192
00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:25.240
and the thunder of the rays.
Again I began to hear noises outside my
193
00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:30.120
room. I went out cautiously to
tell Patty something strange was going on.
194
00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:34.080
He didn' t have to.
She had also listened and was outside her
195
00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:38.840
room. We both looked at each
other in despair. Suddenly, everything turned
196
00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:45.759
into chaos. The frets began to
fall. The few objects we had started
197
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:49.840
to move. The curtains were moving
as if there was a strong gust of
198
00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:53.879
wind. All I could think of
was getting close to Patti. She grabbed
199
00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:57.559
me tightly by the hand. I
told him it was necessary to get out
200
00:16:57.559 --> 00:17:02.759
of there. We were able to
do it, but with great difficulty,
201
00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:06.720
because it seemed that some of the
objects threw them directly at us. In
202
00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:12.400
fact, one of the paintings we
had hit Patti. When we closed the
203
00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:18.599
door, we got to hear some
of the objects that were turning hit her.
204
00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:22.799
We both stayed for a few minutes
without knowing what to do. It
205
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:26.920
was too late to ask for help. It was raining really hard. Besides,
206
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:32.039
no one would believe what was happening. Desperate and tired, we went
207
00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:36.640
to sit on the stairs of the
building at least there we did not get
208
00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:40.920
wet and we stayed, safe from
the aggressions that occurred inside the apartment.
209
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:45.519
I don' t know if it
was much of our luck, or there
210
00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:49.599
really are angels who help us and
protect us because a neighbor upstairs who had
211
00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:55.480
never seen her came out and asked
us if everything was okay. We told
212
00:17:55.559 --> 00:18:00.559
him almost crying that we weren'
t too afraid about what was going on
213
00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:03.279
in our apartment. She sat with
us. He asked us what we had
214
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:07.119
done. We told him without details
about the ritual. She explained to us
215
00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:11.279
that most likely we had not succeeded
in fading the appearance of the woman dressed
216
00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:15.960
in white, but, on the
contrary, we had opened more portals in
217
00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:21.839
which other souls who were trapped had
managed to get out. He also told
218
00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:27.000
us that such rituals are not done
without previous knowledge. That' s why
219
00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:30.680
we only opened the portals, but
we didn' t know how to close
220
00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:34.559
them. She told us she'
d try to help us, but she
221
00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:37.359
didn' t know if she'
d make it. Thank you, we
222
00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:41.240
hug her. The woman was about
forty years old on her face. There
223
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:45.480
was a scar that crossed his right
cheekbone. He went home for certain items
224
00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:52.799
that would help orient the spirits that
were in our apartment Outside followed the very
225
00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:57.880
heavy rain with the lightnings that suddenly
lit up the darkness. The neighbor came
226
00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:03.440
down from her apartment and told us
she' d come into our apartment We
227
00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:04.920
were going after her. He gave
us a signal with his hand to stop
228
00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:11.519
us. She preferred to enter our
apartment alone. They kept listening to how
229
00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:17.839
the objects moved. I can'
t tell you how much time happened,
230
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:22.160
but it did happen a long time. Suddenly we stopped listening to the noises.
231
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:26.960
Then our neighbor came out. She
felt very tired. He told us
232
00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:30.799
he made it. The spirits had
left, It was the souls who had
233
00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:36.559
died on the day of the explosions, who had lived in that building and
234
00:19:36.559 --> 00:19:41.000
who failed to live. Without saying
more, he climbed the ladder and left
235
00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:45.480
when I reacted. I went after
her, but I didn' t see
236
00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:48.920
what department she was in. Pati
talked to me to tell me we could
237
00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:53.839
get into our apartment. Everything was
quiet. There was only one mess about
238
00:19:53.839 --> 00:20:00.559
the things that were lying down,
but no more strange situation happened. We
239
00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:03.559
were so tired, we fell asleep. We were awakened by the sunlight that
240
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:08.039
leaked through the window. We no
longer saw the figure of the woman in
241
00:20:08.039 --> 00:20:12.279
white. At night we went up
to the other floor to find the woman
242
00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:17.720
who had helped us. We saw
a neighbor who left her apartment. We
243
00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:21.359
asked her how we didn' t
know her name. We described it to
244
00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:26.640
her. She told us we were
wrong on that floor. Only she lived
245
00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:30.519
with her children in the other apartment. I was busy with a couple of
246
00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:34.759
old people. The neighbor, seeing
our surprise face, asked us if she
247
00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:41.200
had a scar on her right cheek. We said yes. She told us
248
00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:44.759
she wasn' t alive anymore.
He' s been taking his own life
249
00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:48.839
for a long time. She had
lived in the same apartment that we were
250
00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:52.400
occupying. I didn' t understand
what the neighbor told us or how we
251
00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:57.279
got that help. We thought as
soon as we could, we' d
252
00:20:57.319 --> 00:21:02.759
leave that apartment. But the events
had stopped at least in our house,
253
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:07.519
because in the street at night voices
and laments were still being heard from people
254
00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:22.519
who died many years ago. Story
