La Monstruosa Bruja Ave De La Cabaña Historias De Terror - REDE

WEBVTT

1
00:00:05.320 --> 00:00:12.039
The desolate cabin. When I left
Ecuador, I did so with the determination

2
00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:16.839
of a warrior who leaves his land
in search of a better future. It

3
00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:21.239
was the spring of two thousand and
twelve, when the famine, unemployment and

4
00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:25.879
pressure exerted on the people by criminals
who, far from offering any better opportunity,

5
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:33.320
plunged the whole society into the deepest
misery. I went out with a

6
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:39.479
group of twenty people on the first
Saturday of spring, working people, we

7
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:42.799
made a long walk down the road. We met all kinds of people,

8
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:49.359
both people who wanted to abuse us
and people who fed us and gave us

9
00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:54.439
clothes. After a couple of weeks
of walking, we spotted the border of

10
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:59.520
Mexico, where we expected to climb
that train that they call the Beast first

11
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:03.280
or not or two across the border, because we found an operative that prevented

12
00:01:03.400 --> 00:01:07.719
us from entering Mexico and there,
in the midst of all the people,

13
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:12.640
we looked for another means to enter
by choosing the worst way of all.

14
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:19.359
We went up to the Beast,
where we found a similar atmosphere, where

15
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:23.879
small gang leaders extorted us. Fortunately, we joined a group that didn'

16
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:27.000
t do business with other people'
s misfortune and looked after our backs.

17
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:32.760
We still came to an area passing
through Chiapas, where we were no longer

18
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:34.959
allowed to move on. For this
purpose, of the twenty people we left,

19
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:41.840
we only left nine same that we
divided between those who wished to continue

20
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:46.239
at all costs and those who were
already tired and preferred to seek accommodation in

21
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:49.159
the State. Then we arrived in
a nearby village, San Cristóbal de las

22
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:55.519
Casas, where we found work on
a coffee ranch. I didn' t

23
00:01:55.599 --> 00:02:00.480
mean to stay there, but any
work in that place was better than going

24
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:05.280
back to Ecuador. I lasted there
first for a couple of weeks, then

25
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:07.520
six months, and when I remembered
I already had a year of work.

26
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:14.000
I even settled in a little house
on the outskirts of the village. It

27
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:16.520
' s not like I wasn'
t comfortable. The people of Chiapas are

28
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:23.039
very humanitarian, humble and hospitable people. I even started a relationship with a

29
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:27.400
girl from San Cristóbal. However,
I felt within myself this call to continue

30
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:32.919
my journey through the countryside talking with
my then partner named Nancy advised me to

31
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:39.039
take walks in my days of rest
to silence this desire to continue, because

32
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:45.639
the road to the neighboring country of
the North was very uncertain. Maybe I

33
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:51.719
wouldn' t even make it across, and there was a better chance that

34
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:53.319
my story would end up bad for
success. After meditating on his words,

35
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:59.319
I could only agree with him.
If in Chiapas I had already installed what

36
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:02.960
stopped me to be happy. So, I followed his advice, began to

37
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:07.680
take as a hobby the walks in
the countryside. First with her, then

38
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:15.000
I just became a whole walking pro. I even got a tent, a

39
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:20.039
sleeping bag, a first aid kit, and some boots all over the place.

40
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:24.039
These last ones were a gift from
Nancy. To tell the truth,

41
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:30.000
I preferred to travel alone, because
in carrying out this activity I took me

42
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:36.120
to a kind of state of meditation
that always replenished me with both the workload

43
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:39.840
and the traumas experienced during my journey
through Central America. During the first anniversary

44
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:45.919
of Bridezgo, we decided to camp
for a weekend in an area that does

45
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:50.919
not exist today, as it has
been occupied by the urbanization. But at

46
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:55.759
that time it was a barren field
that led to a gap whose path led

47
00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:00.439
you to a small lake. We
do not prepare as we do several canned

48
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:05.120
foods, fruits, a couple of
sleeping bags and warm clothes, because the

49
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:09.719
nights in the open, although the
days are sunny, the nights are quite

50
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:14.479
cold. I heard through one of
the coffee pawns, such that the area

51
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:17.839
where we wanted to camp was not
very safe, not because of crime,

52
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:25.079
but because it was said that paranormal
phenomena occurred there and many people had been

53
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:30.000
lost. Despite that place, it
did not have a leafy forest, cliffs

54
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:33.639
or wells. I, as always, listened only to that warning. But

55
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:39.519
since I had survived the hell that
migrants lived in, then if they talked

56
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:43.480
to me about paranormal phenomena, I
didn' t fear them anyway. In

57
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:48.000
Ecuador he knew several witches of whom
he claimed possessed the power to cause diseases

58
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:53.399
in people, in addition to succeeding
in changing the shape of animals. But

59
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:58.079
neither in Ecuador nor Mexico did I
believe in those stories. So neither Nancy

60
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:02.160
nor I chickened out with that getaway, and it was up to us to

61
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:06.040
see a couple of photographs. We
were made beautiful by the landscape. In

62
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:11.519
addition to the fact that a flat
terrain away from the trees is the ideal

63
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:17.199
place to set up a camp,
we went into the field walking by hand,

64
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:21.160
crossed a part of leafy forest and
decided to stop to look. The

65
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:26.680
light entered between the branches of the
trees and joined to the wind that rocked

66
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:30.000
the branches and the leaves, making
it seem that the light danced. We

67
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:35.240
liked this area so much that we
promised to come back the next day to

68
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:39.959
spend the afternoon. Before we go
home again, we follow our path until

69
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:45.160
we leave behind the little forest.
The green of the trees was replaced by

70
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:49.920
a barren and flat terrain where it
smelled like nards we walked a couple of

71
00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:56.560
kilometers and spotted a desolate cabin in
the distance. It was a rather curious

72
00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:00.879
construction, as it did not resemble
any that I saw either in Mexico or

73
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:04.759
in Ecuador. It looked like that
kind of American- style cabins that were

74
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:11.399
on TV series. It was the
typical house design that one would draw as

75
00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:15.360
a child, despite never having seen
a house like this, four walls,

76
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:20.160
a ceiling shaped like a triangle,
a door, a window and sticking out

77
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:26.680
of the roof, a fireplace.
We approached attracted by this peculiar cabin and

78
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:32.399
just as we approached we felt something
flying over our heads, we stood dry

79
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:38.680
and looked in front of us as
a large bird flew to lie on top

80
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:43.639
of the cabin. It looked like
a owl, but as far as I

81
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:47.040
knew, those birds weren' t
that big, not even owls. We

82
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:51.959
approached with caution. Once we were
in front of the cabin, we saw

83
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:57.720
that it was abandoned and almost all
the wood that kept it standing was rotten.

84
00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:02.439
We looked at the details of the
construction, as the cabin showed that

85
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:06.839
it had been beautiful in the past. Some boards had a well- ornate

86
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:13.000
relief with strange symbols among which I
remember seeing random numbers of a star,

87
00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:17.000
the sun and the moon. We
were absorbed in the details of the cabin.

88
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:21.920
When Nancy jumped scared and I soon
found out what scared her, I

89
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:27.759
turned to the right and for a
couple of seconds I saw a girl with

90
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:33.040
black hair, very long with completely
black eyes. He was showing a face

91
00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:38.160
of anguish. I fell back scared. Then the girl turned and got lost.

92
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:43.079
After the cabin, Nancy and I
moved away from the cabin, we

93
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:47.079
decided to build the camp on a
small, outstanding plain on the flat ground.

94
00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:51.480
We both agreed that the girl was
not human, but a ghost.

95
00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:57.360
After having installed the campaign house,
I started to gather some firewood to light

96
00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:01.399
a campfire, since at the end
of the afternoon the cold would hit eagerly.

97
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:05.800
We ate together and when the sun
fell, a heaviness seized us.

98
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:09.480
We went inside the campaign house and
just closed our eyes, fell asleep.

99
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:16.319
I remember between dreams I heard some
animal footprints outside the store, same horrible

100
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:22.759
scream. Then I tried to wake
up, but I couldn' t.

101
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:28.480
I felt more and more heavy as
if I was immersed in deep water.

102
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:33.120
After several attempts to wake up and
not achieve it, I gave up and

103
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:39.559
remained committed to the dream I witnessed. It wouldn' t be nice in

104
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:43.559
my dream if I woke up and
immediately spoke to Nancy, who also looked

105
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:48.759
pretty uneasy about it. Out of
sheer inertia, I was pulling back,

106
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:54.200
holding her arms and over us.
The tent was beginning to be torn.

107
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:58.159
The fabric of the shop opened and
a huge hairy, pointed leg entered.

108
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:05.000
Then we saw again the horrible face
of the black- eyed girl who barely

109
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:11.440
saw us. He threw that same
regret that I heard when I was trying

110
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:16.440
to wake up the girl had the
spider body and when she was about to

111
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:18.480
reach us, I woke up screaming
desperately until I became a fan. When

112
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:22.240
I woke up, Nancy hugged me
trying to calm me down. I didn

113
00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:24.879
' t want to sleep anymore.
She told me that she also dreamed of

114
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:30.279
the spider girl, but that I
had scared her more of my screams than

115
00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:33.320
the nightmare. I kissed him and
told him to go back to sleep.

116
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:37.799
I got out of the campaign house
and put water to warm up. In

117
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:41.200
the wreckage of the fire. I
looked at my watch at five o'

118
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:45.080
clock in the morning. It won' t be long before dawn. As

119
00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:48.360
I took my coffee sitting on a
trunk, I looked at the fact that

120
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:54.720
right next to the campaign house were
a pair of bow arrows, both adorned

121
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:58.039
with the feather of some bird,
it became quite strange for me to see

122
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:03.000
those objects and that they were embedded
in the earth and not on the ground.

123
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:07.200
I didn’ t want to imagine
things, as I was still a

124
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:11.639
little upset by the nightmare I had
just suffered. I continued to drink coffee

125
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:15.600
and saw the sun rise beyond the
desolate hut. I don' t know

126
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:20.480
why, but at that moment I
felt a huge urge to walk over there

127
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:24.080
and explore inside the cabin, which
I didn' t do until it was

128
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:28.440
fully illuminated. I didn' t
even tell Nancy, because when I was

129
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:33.399
about to go out, I listened
to her snoring and felt sorry to lift

130
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:37.720
her. When I was in front
of the cabin, I felt ashamed,

131
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:43.519
for I could not find a reason
to be afraid of a construction so old

132
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:46.960
that it was very likely to collapse. On entering I saw a flash inside.

133
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:52.799
Right after I showed up, I
noticed that it was three black candles

134
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:58.639
on a candlestick. I put my
head inside the window and I thought I

135
00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:03.720
saw an old woman showing a face
that was too wrinkled. That' s

136
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:07.360
where I went back and hid sticking
my face to the window. The woman

137
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:13.120
seemed to be plucking a hen,
but the bird was still alive and instead

138
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:18.320
of making sounds belonging to a species
animal, it seemed as if a human

139
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:22.759
being was being hurt. I felt
shocked. Then I stepped back and at

140
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:28.840
that moment I bumped into someone'
s back was a guy who looked in

141
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:33.600
deplorable condition. He didn' t
have a shirt, and he was dressed

142
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:39.000
alone in some fabric briefs, as
soon as he saw me, he fell

143
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:41.080
to the ground and was stuck.
Then he began to beg me for help,

144
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:46.320
for according to him, the woman
in the hut had her daughter trapped.

145
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:48.720
I asked the man to stand up
and if he wanted to, he

146
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:54.919
could feed him and also some clothes. But the man, looking at me,

147
00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:58.120
told me he didn' t have
much time left. That' s

148
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:01.480
what I despaired about. I took
him by the shoulders and invited him into

149
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:05.960
the cabin with me to see that
an old woman was not a real problem.

150
00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:11.360
Dragging the man I approached the door, for he did not want to

151
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:15.960
enter. When we reached the door
inside there were neither the three candles nor

152
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:20.519
the old lady. I pushed the
man to show him that there really was

153
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:24.200
nothing to fear in there and if
it was true that his daughter was there,

154
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:28.399
we would find her. But the
man gave me a push with excessive

155
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:33.360
force for someone like him, because
he managed to knock me down and throw

156
00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:37.960
me several meters into the house.
I stood up and immediately wanted to face

157
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:41.879
that man, but he was already
running several meters ahead of me. I

158
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:46.360
wanted to run after him, but
I thought it didn' t make sense.

159
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:50.720
It was very likely that he was
a simple madman who lived in indigence.

160
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:56.080
I still felt afraid for Nancy,
but that man ran in the opposite

161
00:12:56.159 --> 00:13:01.279
direction to the location of our camp. Then I took advantage of the fact

162
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:03.480
that he was already inside. I
decided to take a look, even if

163
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:07.159
it was quick. I didn'
t find the big deal. Just the

164
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:11.240
wax remains of the candles, also
some bird feathers and old girl clothes.

165
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:16.879
The aroma in there was quite unpleasant, as if they opened a kind of

166
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:22.559
plumbing and to try to cover the
aroma several incenses were lit. I didn

167
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:26.240
' t think anyone could be occupying
the cabin, because even the melted wax

168
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:30.559
seemed to have been there a long
time already. I decided to go back

169
00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:33.320
and look for Nancy to spend the
rest of the afternoon at the lake.

170
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:37.679
I thought I' d find her
in the wreckage of the fire, but

171
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:39.440
she wasn' t there. Thinking
I' d still be asleep. I

172
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:43.720
went into the campaign house, but
I didn' t find Nancy either,

173
00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:48.159
and I imagined the worst, so
I started screaming her name. Seconds later,

174
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:50.639
she appeared behind the trees. He
told me he went to the bathroom.

175
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:54.840
She told me that I was quite
nervous that if I preferred, we

176
00:13:54.840 --> 00:14:00.279
would pick up the camp and go
home or try camping in some other loor.

177
00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:03.919
I told him that at least we
spent the rest of the morning at

178
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:05.759
the lake, and then we saw
if we were coming back or not.

179
00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:11.240
When I was there, I told
him about my encounter with that strange tramp

180
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:16.879
and as seconds before I saw that
old lady in front of the candles murdering

181
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:18.879
a bird that produced a human sound. She thought it was very likely that

182
00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:24.519
the cabin was inhabited by ghosts,
but that really, apart from scaring us,

183
00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:28.360
they couldn' t hurt us in
exchange for the homeless. If care

184
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:33.519
should be taken, for there was
a possibility that he would attack us during

185
00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:37.440
the night, then I suggested to
him to move our camp by the lake,

186
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:43.120
because although the terrain was not so
flat, if it was quite beautiful

187
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:46.720
and he did not believe that that
man could survive being half naked in the

188
00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:50.200
cold that leaked on the night of
the lake. Nancy felt the same way

189
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:54.799
I did. Besides, I started
bragging that if you showed up again,

190
00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:58.960
that man would pierce him with my
hunter' s knife. So we went

191
00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:03.600
to lift up the tent, and
I showed Nancy the pair of arrows I

192
00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:09.559
discovered in the morning. This became
quite strange to her, but we prefer

193
00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:13.799
to leave them where we find them. When we finished raising the camp,

194
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:18.720
we heard some sort of lament,
but it was so dim the sound that

195
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:22.799
we could well be confused with the
whistle of the wind and, unlike the

196
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:26.360
night before, the heaviness did not
take hold of us. We stayed late

197
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:31.519
looking at the moon and its reflection
inside the water. We went to sleep.

198
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:37.159
After midnight, I had a little
nightmare with that man. He saw

199
00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:41.720
him in the middle of the hunched
wasteland, shouting his daughter' s name

200
00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:48.039
and crying in despair. Moments later
she saw as that old woman, undressing

201
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:52.440
in the midst of the wilderness,
but her feet clung to form something like

202
00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:56.240
the claws of a vulture. At
that moment he clung to that man'

203
00:15:56.279 --> 00:16:00.639
s neck and his face deformed into
a beak and with it he bit his

204
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:07.240
face until his basins were empty.
At that moment I woke up this time

205
00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:11.039
I didn' t scream. I
just stood up and watched Nancy get stuck

206
00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:17.080
talking inconsistencies. This scared me pretty
much, because as far as I knew

207
00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:22.840
she had no sleepwalking problems or anything
like that, so I tried to hug

208
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:26.360
her to put her back to bed, but her reaction was to let go

209
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:27.320
of a blow in the middle of
the face. I backed out. Then

210
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:33.080
I noticed my nose bleeding. When
I was able to stop the bleeding,

211
00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:37.080
I started talking to Nancy, who
suddenly opened her eyes. She stared at

212
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:42.639
me being possessed and said something like
that, she' ll come by your

213
00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:48.639
eyes too. I felt scared,
but seconds later she woke up and cried.

214
00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:55.559
He told me he had the worst
nightmare of his life. Then I

215
00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:59.240
asked him to tell me, to
which he refused, for he told me

216
00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:03.519
that he preferred to give it,
but that it was best to leave those

217
00:17:03.640 --> 00:17:08.079
lands, for he was sure that
there was something evil there, something that

218
00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:12.359
was not tangible or physical, but
that lived between our world and the astral

219
00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:18.400
low. Then we waited until dawn
was full. Then we had breakfast and

220
00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:22.079
started to raise the camp. While
removing the stakes that kept the tent tied

221
00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:26.319
to the ground. I was thinking
that what happened to Nancy was nothing but

222
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:33.240
possession and not just an episode of
sleepwalking. When we finished guarding all things,

223
00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:37.680
we got on our way back to
the field. We met the man

224
00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:42.200
who was half- naked. He
swung in front of Nancy and asked her

225
00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:45.599
what she asked of me. He
told her to help him get his daughter

226
00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:52.119
back, who was locked in a
kind of cage that was buried under the

227
00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:57.160
desolate hut. Nancy turned to me
to see and against all odds, asked

228
00:17:57.200 --> 00:18:02.640
me to help that man. I
told him it made no sense that this

229
00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:07.519
man suffered from his mental faculties,
that he had already been inside the cabin

230
00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:12.160
and the only thing in there was
ghosts. Nancy didn' t listen to

231
00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:15.440
me and as if she were possessed
again, she ran towards the cabin.

232
00:18:17.640 --> 00:18:21.640
I had no choice but to follow
her completely, since she was inside,

233
00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:26.160
she would realize that that poor guy
was only a victim of some trauma lived

234
00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:30.160
in the past. But Nancy didn' t listen to me. He walked

235
00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:33.400
into the cabin and I stayed outside
from one second to another. I heard

236
00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:40.400
her screaming. Then I entered Nancy
was in that state where I found her

237
00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:44.000
in the morning. I was on
my knees in a corner of the cabin.

238
00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:48.880
Then I approached her and tried to
ask her to come back with me,

239
00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:51.200
but she didn' t answer me. That' s exactly what I

240
00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:57.039
was watching. Underneath the cabin was
a wooden staircase all broken and underneath.

241
00:18:57.559 --> 00:19:03.240
I began to hear the same mino
sound as the hen that plucked the woman.

242
00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:07.839
Seconds later, I saw the old
woman emerge, and when we saw

243
00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:12.759
her, she went up the broken
ladder in an unnatural way At that moment

244
00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:17.440
I brought Nancy to me, because
she didn' t answer and she wasn

245
00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:18.359
' t going to wait for me
to do it to get out of that

246
00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:22.599
damn cabin. When we were outside, it faded and I had to carry

247
00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:26.960
it with the weight of the luggage
plus the weight of it. I just

248
00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:30.440
made it to the plain. From
there I could see that thing that I

249
00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:36.440
could do nothing but a witch and
not a ghost. He flew up to

250
00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:41.319
a meter and a half away.
It was the most horrible thing I'

251
00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:44.279
ve ever seen. I don'
t even have words to describe her.

252
00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:48.880
She was an old woman with bird
legs and her face was mixed with that

253
00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:55.319
of a sopilot or vulture. He
squealed in the brain. The panic took

254
00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:59.640
hold. I didn' t even
know how to react, because I couldn

255
00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:03.519
' t run out and leave Nancy
there. Dropped. The witch flew as

256
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:07.480
far as we were and all I
ever thought of doing was hugging Nancy,

257
00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:11.200
placing my back as a shield as
I closed my eyes. I felt a

258
00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:15.319
horrible burning on my back. Then
I heard her scream. Then I realized

259
00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:18.440
the voice of a man and as
I did not feel being attacked again,

260
00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:25.519
I got up to see what was
happening. Then I saw the half-

261
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:29.480
naked man attack the witch with some
kind of baseball bat with nails. The

262
00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:33.279
creature squealed and the man cursed her
while a claw was on her head.

263
00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:40.359
Nancy came to her senses again,
and without a word, I took her

264
00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:45.200
by the hand and started running.
We stopped when we got to the little

265
00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:48.359
forest. At that moment I felt
very tired and the burning in the back

266
00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:55.799
became unbearable. Nancy noticed my wounds
and screamed. Everything happened so fast that

267
00:20:55.839 --> 00:21:00.799
I can barely remember some details we
went home and after packing, we went

268
00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:06.640
to a health center to attend to
the wounds themselves, which were quite serious

269
00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:11.680
and profound. I didn' t
know what to tell them, for I

270
00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:18.440
knew that if I told the truth, they wouldn' t believe me and

271
00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:18.960
maybe they could even make fun of
me for a long time. We stopped

272
00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:22.720
going out. Even Nancy and I
are done, although we don' t

273
00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:26.400
stop talking. I knew that after
the experience he had an insomnia crisis and

274
00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:30.400
had to give him sleeping pills.
One day. I encouraged myself to tell

275
00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:36.359
my story to an old man who
worked with us. He told me that

276
00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:40.839
the place I was in was inhabited
not just by a witch, but by

277
00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:45.240
several, but that to what he
knew, that had happened a long time

278
00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:49.640
ago, when he was just a
five- year- old boy. According

279
00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:56.279
to the Lord' s account,
the women were foreigners who settled there where

280
00:21:56.359 --> 00:22:02.000
they dedicated themselves to offering herbs for
women to interrupt their pregnancies. But just

281
00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:07.759
as they were there about two years
old, several children from nearby villages began

282
00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:11.480
to disappear. So, naturally,
they accused women of being witches and being

283
00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:18.519
guilty of missing children. Only one
man of all people dared to face them,

284
00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:23.480
for he swore that they had their
daughter. One of the women,

285
00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:29.599
whom he found skinning a hen,
broke into the cabin and buried scissors in

286
00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:33.240
one of his eyes, the other
woman. Seeing the danger, he flew

287
00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:37.559
off into a bird. The man
couldn' t find his daughter, and

288
00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:41.160
he didn' t come home either. They knew what happened because of a

289
00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:47.359
boy who followed him to the man
they found him within three days. Floating

290
00:22:47.400 --> 00:22:51.799
in the lake. He was wearing
nothing but underwear. The fish had eaten

291
00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:56.680
his eyes and carried on his chest
a huge cross made with fire. I

292
00:22:56.720 --> 00:23:02.599
heard the story of the lord and
in the end I could not help but

293
00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:07.200
think that perhaps it was the spirit
of that man whom I saw still wandering

294
00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:11.119
around that area looking for who can
help him find his daughter. In time,

295
00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:15.880
the spirit of travel invaded me again
and I currently reside in Chihuahua,

296
00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:22.839
where I have settled and do not
wish to move on. Tale written and
