00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:11.720
The doll will tell you this won' t be easy. It' s
2
00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:16.399
a story my grandmother has told us
about some events that they went through from
3
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:21.039
when she was very young to when
she had children. I emphasize that it
4
00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:25.879
is something summarized and counted in the
best way not to mention their names and
5
00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:32.000
avoid some family problem. It all
goes back many years, when my grandmother
6
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:36.840
was small and belonged to a family
that lived on the outskirts of the city
7
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:42.719
near Lake Chapala, on a small
ranch. They lived in a rather humble
8
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:47.240
house. At that time there were
not so many people and the communication between
9
00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:51.560
the city and the towns was really
scarce. My grandmother, the youngest of
10
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:56.039
five brothers and the third woman in
the family, liked to go out for
11
00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:00.079
a walk on the shores of the
lake just to see how they fished and
12
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:03.439
make it possible for them to give
her something. It was a situation that
13
00:01:03.519 --> 00:01:10.319
often occurred, as the fishermen themselves
saw my grandmother watching them and pitied them,
14
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:18.280
so they gave her some fish.
But one day things changed. A
15
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:23.040
storm had just passed and the fishermen
had gone fishing. My grandmother soon went
16
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:29.480
out to the lake to see that
she could get her way for a few
17
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:32.560
minutes until she arrived with a fisherman
who always gave her something. He saw
18
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:38.439
her approach and rushed to deliver something
to her. A porcelain doll was filled
19
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:42.680
with algae and wet. The fisherman
told my grandmother that she had been caught
20
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:48.799
with the net. That same morning, my grandmother was excited to see her
21
00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:52.400
and accepted her. She was the
first doll I' d ever have in
22
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:56.519
her life. She ran home,
very excited about the gift she had been
23
00:01:56.599 --> 00:02:01.599
given. When she arrived at the
ranch, immediately, one of her sisters
24
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:07.239
stared at her and asked her what
was in her hands, but my grandmother
25
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:10.960
refused to answer her knew that her
sister would take it away and not return
26
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:15.719
it to her. Her older sister, who was quite possessive, approached her
27
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:21.400
and snatched her wrist from her hands. My grandmother insisted that I return it
28
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:25.120
to her, but her sister refused
and, looking at her from head to
29
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:30.400
toe, told her that she was
an ugly, dirty doll that should be
30
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:35.240
thrown into the trash. That way, her sister took her away, leaving
31
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:39.479
my grandmother crying. It' s
been several hours. My grandmother had already
32
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:45.879
calmed down and was in the lobby
with two of her brothers. When they
33
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:51.800
heard the door open all of a
sudden, her sister walked through her head
34
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:55.439
looking down, holding her wrist in
her hands. My grandmother was happy to
35
00:02:55.479 --> 00:03:00.879
see that the wrist was in good
condition and asked her sister if she could
36
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:07.080
return it. Her sister replied very
aggressively that she would keep it. Her.
37
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:12.120
He walked slowly without looking at the
others and locked himself in his room
38
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:15.879
with his wrist. Both my grandmother
and her brothers were shocked by what had
39
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:23.120
happened that night. While everyone was
asleep, a strange laugh invaded the house.
40
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:29.879
My grandmother woke up and looked around. There were his father and mother
41
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:36.280
sleeping next to him and his younger
brothers in the other beds. But again
42
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:42.120
the laughter rang and this time my
grandmother was sure it didn' t come
43
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:46.639
from anyone in the room. He
rose in silence and walked into the hallway,
44
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:52.120
where he was sure to have heard
the voice. Suddenly there was a
45
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:55.599
cry similar to that of a woman. The first thing my grandmother thought was
46
00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:00.800
that one of her older sisters had
been hurt, so she ran to the
47
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:06.280
kitchen where she thought the sounds were
coming from. When he came to the
48
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:12.439
door, his heart almost stopped seeing
what he least expected. Her older sister
49
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:15.879
was standing right next to the table, holding the wrist in one hand and
50
00:04:15.959 --> 00:04:20.720
leaning on the table with the other. My grandmother asked him if he was
51
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:25.199
okay, and his sister answered him
with the same aggressive tone of voice,
52
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:30.240
assuring him that he was perfectly.
My grandmother told him that she had heard
53
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:34.560
laughter and tears and was curious to
see what it was about. According to
54
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:40.800
my grandmother, her sister was slowly
approaching and then she could see that the
55
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:46.040
wristâ s gaze was fixed on
her. I could clearly appreciate the doll
56
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:49.920
watching her. My grandmother thought that
her mind was playing a bad game,
57
00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:56.959
that everything was the product of her
imagination. When the doll suddenly blinked a
58
00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:00.920
chill, it ran through my grandmother' s body and took several steps back.
59
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:05.839
She told her sister that she would
leave her alone and that if she
60
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:14.279
needed anything, I would call her
All night long, tears and voices continued
61
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:17.199
to be heard, but my grandmother
no longer dared to go and see what
62
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:23.120
it was about. The next morning, while everyone had breakfast, the only
63
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:27.600
person who had not sat at the
table was the older sister. She didn
64
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:30.879
' t want to leave her room
as much as my grandmother' s parents
65
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:36.279
went looking for her. She told
them to leave her alone. A few
66
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:41.879
hours passed, my grandmother and her
brothers were playing in the living room,
67
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:47.319
when suddenly a huge chill ran through
her back. The temperature had decreased for
68
00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:53.839
some strange reason. Then one of
my grandmother' s brothers pointed to the
69
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:59.000
wall and they all looked in that
direction. The older sister looked like she
70
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:02.800
was hiding from them and when she
noticed that they were watching her, she
71
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:10.800
quickly vanished. Within a few seconds, slow steps began to be heard approaching.
72
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:16.639
The three of them stared down the
hall and then the older sister appeared
73
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:23.839
walking side by side in one hand, carrying her wrist hanging as if she
74
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:27.560
weighed several kilos and could barely handle
it. He went into the bathroom,
75
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:31.360
closed the door and opened the key
to the shower to bathe. So,
76
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:36.959
one of my grandmother' s brothers
mentioned that that was chilling and that her
77
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:43.439
sister had changed a lot since that
doll arrived. Then another of his brothers
78
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:46.240
came up with the silly idea of
going through his wrist to hide it.
79
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:53.279
My grandmother tried to warn him not
to, as she was not just a
80
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:58.120
doll, but her brother told her
that nothing was wrong. Ignoring the warning,
81
00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:02.079
he approached the door or the door
and opened it slowly so as not
82
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:06.480
to alert his older sister and entered
through the wrist. It didn' t
83
00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:11.319
happen a minute when all of a
sudden you heard laughter from the bathroom.
84
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:15.399
It wasn' t his brother or
his sister he was laughing at. There
85
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:20.600
seemed to be someone else inside.
Suddenly, a horrible cry sounded so loud
86
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:27.040
that my grandmother and her other brother
covered their ears. Crying and laughter stopped
87
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:30.600
listening to each other. All you
could hear was the water noise from the
88
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:38.439
shower. My grandmother' s father
came running asking what that had been.
89
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:44.399
I was sure I' d heard
someone else inside the house. Then the
90
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:48.959
bathroom door opened and they looked inside. There were his brother and his sister,
91
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:54.720
both looking up at the wall as
if they were hypnotized. My grandmother
92
00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:59.519
' s father came up to talk
to them, but they both had a
93
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:03.959
gray, lifeless look. Then my
grandmother noticed something, something the others overlooked
94
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:09.920
sitting down. On the top of
the toilet was the doll with its head
95
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:15.839
tilted. He seemed to be looking
at my grandmother again. As I was
96
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:20.560
saying, the ranch was very isolated
with the city back then. So my
97
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:24.600
grandmother' s father thought to call
the town doctor by showing his children in
98
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:31.399
that situation. The first thing the
doctor said was that perhaps it had been
99
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:35.720
the bite of an animal that inhabits
the area and that, unfortunately, caused
100
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:41.960
hallucinations and catatonic states in people.
Everything pointed to what that had been.
101
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:48.519
It was only left to take care
of the sick until the effect was passed
102
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:52.600
on, but my grandmother was certain
that this had been caused as a result
103
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:56.919
of the wrist. My grandmother'
s father had no choice but to abide
104
00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:01.279
by the doctor' s instructions during
the stage of caring for his brothers.
105
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:07.799
The things of both of them were
stored in a wooden trunk and inside it
106
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:11.559
they came to put my grandmother'
s wrist too. Seeing this he could
107
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:18.120
feel enormous relief. The things of
both brothers were sheltered in the trunk for
108
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:24.120
a long time. Unfortunately, my
grandmotherâ s brothers did not show an
109
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:30.080
early improvement, but quite the opposite. His state of mind was aggravated to
110
00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:33.200
such an extent that today it is
already necessary to take care of them forever.
111
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:39.279
For years, the doll was sheltered
in the trunk, which did not
112
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:43.799
open, but until thirteen years later, when the family had to make some
113
00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:48.000
arrangements to the house. The one
who opened the trunk was my great-
114
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:52.639
grandmother. I was looking for things
to get rid of. He then reminded
115
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:58.600
a family who had just settled near
the house. In that family they had
116
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:03.759
a little girl as young as four
years old, so my great- grandmother
117
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:09.679
thought of giving it to her.
One Saturday afternoon, the neighbors came to
118
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:13.080
the house to find my mother.
They had to go out to visit a
119
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:18.039
relative of theirs at the hospital,
but by local rules they could not bring
120
00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:24.000
children, so they asked my great- grandmother to help them take care of
121
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:28.039
their daughter. My great- grandmother
thought it was a good idea, but
122
00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:31.799
what I had in mind was for
my grandmother to take care of the child
123
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.720
while she was making dinner. The
girl stayed in the living room playing and
124
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:41.399
my grandmother kindly agreed to take care
of her. He decided to approach the
125
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:46.480
girl to get to know her a
little more, but when asked how she
126
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:50.159
was, he realized that the girl
was not very social. She also asked
127
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:54.399
him what he liked to do,
but the girl did not respond. He
128
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:58.279
was very concentrated playing with some wooden
blocks that he had brought from his house.
129
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:05.799
My grandmother, a little desperate,
decided to step aside and sit on
130
00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:11.399
the couch when she suddenly met the
old doll that had been given to her
131
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:16.000
sitting next to her. He quickly
rose from the couch and approached his mother
132
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:20.960
to ask her about the wrist.
Her mother told her that she had found
133
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:24.919
it in the trunk and that a
few days ago she had given it to
134
00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:28.519
the girl. My grandmother approached the
girl and asked her if she was okay
135
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:33.080
or if something had happened to her
at home with her wrist. But the
136
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:37.519
girl only replied that the doll liked
to play hide- and- seek.
137
00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:43.639
Disconcerted, my grandmother asked her when
this happened and the girl told her that
138
00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:48.480
it always happened when she was asleep. My grandmother approached her wrist and examined
139
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:54.840
her. She seemed normal, but
she knew how evil she could be.
140
00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:58.720
She asked the girl if it would
be okay to keep her wrist, to
141
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:03.440
which the girl replied that she did
not like that doll, because whenever she
142
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:09.519
kept it, she kicked where she
would put it and had to take it
143
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:13.879
out again before my grandmother kept asking
more questions. My great- grandmother asked
144
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:18.240
them to come to dinner. At
that time, there were only my great
145
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:24.879
- grandparents, my grandmother and her
two mentally troubled brothers and the girl in
146
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:30.399
the house. The other brothers were
either outside or at their cousins' house.
147
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:33.840
During dinner, the girl kept watching
the doll, which was sitting on
148
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:41.919
the floor. My great- grandmother
told him that she had nothing to worry
149
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:45.200
about because she wouldn' t leave
there. The girl seemed to be convinced,
150
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:50.639
so she stopped worrying about her.
A little later, the girl fell
151
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:56.120
asleep on my great- grandmother'
s lap, so they decided to take
152
00:12:56.759 --> 00:13:01.080
her to sleep not without first ordering
my grandmother to pick up all the girl
153
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:03.759
' s toys and keep them.
My great- grandmother realized that would be
154
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:09.879
her chance to get rid of the
wrist. Once and for all. The
155
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:16.279
tension in the house increased with every
moment. Everyone slept, except my grandmother,
156
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:20.399
who stayed to pick up the toys. In the end she left the
157
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:24.960
doll right where the girl had left
her sitting in the middle of the room.
158
00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:31.919
While I was picking up, my
grandmother wouldn' t turn her eyes
159
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:35.440
off her wrist and when she ended
up she sat near her. My grandmother
160
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:39.000
told the doll that she knew well
what she had done to her brothers and
161
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:45.000
that she knew she was a devilish
doll. The doll didn' t react
162
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:48.639
or do anything, so my grandmother
got out of the chair and went to
163
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:54.679
get a sack to get her inside. But when he came back with the
164
00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:58.840
sack, the doll was gone.
My grandmother realized that she had made a
165
00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:03.039
mistake leaving her alone for a few
seconds, so she started looking for her.
166
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:11.200
At that moment he heard the dog
start barking outside the house. He
167
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:16.000
quickly left the house and headed where
the dog barked. There he found him
168
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:22.799
sitting with his body tense, looking
into the darkness and barking scared. My
169
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:28.159
grandmother approached slowly and saw a pair
of bright eyes that had the dog terrified.
170
00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:33.279
Quickly, my grandmother called her dog
into the house and they both ran
171
00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:41.759
inside. My grandmother closed all the
windows doors and plugged any hole the wrist
172
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:48.039
could hide through. That night,
my grandmother couldn' t sleep like she
173
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:52.240
should. She stayed awake with her
dog on guard in case the doll appeared
174
00:14:52.320 --> 00:15:00.200
again the next morning, when everything
seemed a little quieter. The girl woke
175
00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:05.600
up and spoke to my great-
grandmother. My grandmother who had just woken
176
00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:09.279
up from the little dream she had
achieved. She noticed that the girl was
177
00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:13.919
carrying something in her arms. He
realized it was the doll. He didn
178
00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:20.399
' t understand how he had managed
to return, but the doll had found
179
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:24.720
a way to sneak back in to
the girl. Hours later, when the
180
00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:28.159
girl went out to play and left
the doll again on the floor. This
181
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:33.279
time, the dog barked at him
strangely, as if he perceived that it
182
00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:39.000
was an evil doll. My grandmother
already had the sack ready, so she
183
00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:45.720
approached her wrist and put it abruptly
into the sack. Then he climbed the
184
00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:50.360
stairs to the attic, where the
trunk was supposed to still be. Without
185
00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:54.720
taking the doll off the sack,
he shoved it into the trunk and closed
186
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:58.759
it with a lock. At that
moment, a fragile voice was heard behind
187
00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:03.399
her saying you used my wrist.
My grandmother felt her blood freezing, but
188
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:08.360
when she turned around she realized she
was her older sister. The latter had
189
00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:14.399
seen my grandmother put something in the
trunk and had been insisting on asking about
190
00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:18.720
her wrist. However, my grandmother
had to lie to him telling him that
191
00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:23.480
he was not there and asking him
not to insist. Shortly afterwards, when
192
00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:27.120
the girl realized that her wrist was
missing, my grandmother approached her and told
193
00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:32.279
her that she no longer had to
fear that she had taken care of the
194
00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:37.720
problem. For the first time since
the girl stayed at the house of the
195
00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:44.840
great- grandparents, she smiled as
if a weight had been lifted from her
196
00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:48.759
shoulders. The years passed and all
that time my grandmother kept the key hidden.
197
00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:55.960
Her older sister continued to insist on
her doll, but my grandmother always
198
00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:59.960
refused. Finally s later. O
O O O O O O O Or,
199
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:04.799
my grandmother would marry my grandfather and
take several things, including the trunk.
200
00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:10.680
Even though it had been a long
time since the last incident with the
201
00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:15.039
wrist and that my grandmother was already
an adult woman, married and with her
202
00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:21.640
own family. The memory of those
events continued to haunt it as a bitter
203
00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:26.519
memory, despite having left behind the
ranch and the house where those events occurred.
204
00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:32.440
The terror that the doll instilled in
her life still persisted in her memory,
205
00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:37.519
but even though she continued to fear
her, she could not leave her
206
00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:41.240
in the house with her parents and
her brothers, They would take a great
207
00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:48.319
risk, So my grandmother decided to
take the risk by staying with the trunk
208
00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:53.200
one night while ordering some belongings in
the attic of her new house, found
209
00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:56.039
the key to the old trunk where
she locked the wrist. The find.
210
00:17:56.319 --> 00:18:03.119
He filled her with deep concern,
but he was also extremely curious. She
211
00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:08.640
wondered what had happened to her determined
wrist, but a little shaky, my
212
00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:14.319
grandmother decided to open the trunk and
face her past. Turning the key and
213
00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:18.559
lifting the lid, a gust of
cold and rancid air came out of its
214
00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:23.759
interior as if the trunk was locking
more than just a doll and old papers
215
00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:30.720
between cobwebs and dust. The doll
was out of the sack. My grandmother
216
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:34.319
remembered that I had tied her up. The look on the wrist was empty
217
00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:41.559
and his sinister smile remained intact.
It had some bites, which seemed to
218
00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:45.880
be from a rodent and the ropita
was very dirty. My grandmother picked her
219
00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:51.480
up and stared at her for several
seconds. I had the feeling that at
220
00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:56.960
any moment the wrist would twist.
In that a terrible feeling of discomfort invaded
221
00:18:57.039 --> 00:19:02.400
her. The atmosphere became not cloudy
and the air became so dense that it
222
00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:07.119
could barely breathe. My grandmother looked
at her wrist with a lot of rage
223
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:11.920
and quickly put her in the trunk. When he was about to close it,
224
00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:15.160
he could hear a voice that seemed
to come from the wrist. My
225
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:21.960
grandmother got a horrible chill and felt
a paralyzing fear that took hold of her,
226
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:26.799
but she forced herself to keep her
composure with a firm hand. He
227
00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:30.880
took the lid of the trunk and
closed it tightly. Finally, he put
228
00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:36.880
the lock back on. My grandmother
was already determined to get rid of that
229
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:41.400
evil presence from her home once and
for all, so she asked Grandpa to
230
00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:47.599
help her take the trunk to a
forest near where they lived. What my
231
00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:52.160
grandmother intended was to carry the trunk
and bury it with the wrist inside between
232
00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:56.799
the two of us. The trunk
was loaded into the family van and this
233
00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:00.920
task was carried out after an hour
or an hour of driving and having arrived
234
00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:07.160
in the forest. My grandmother told
my grandfather where she wanted to be buried.
235
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:11.759
It wouldn' t take long,
so my grandmother took the opportunity to
236
00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:18.599
tell Grandpa everything and let him know
why he was doing that. The two
237
00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:22.279
began to end and, while doing
so, my grandmother mentioned to my grandfather
238
00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:27.519
that she felt that something was not
right and that she could also feel someone
239
00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:33.359
watching them. Between the two of
them they were able to dig a deep
240
00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:37.200
hole where they threw the trunk and
then cast the whole earth over it.
241
00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:41.880
As they did so, my grandmother
prayed a couple of our parents and a
242
00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:47.279
weed bird, begging them not to
see the light of day again, my
243
00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:52.359
grandmother began to feel great relief.
When she finally saw the hole covered,
244
00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:59.480
she kept faith that this whole nightmare
would finally come to an end. However,
245
00:20:59.839 --> 00:21:03.319
his peace of mind lasted very little. For several days. My grandmother
246
00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:10.519
had nightmares and the feeling that someone
was watching her even heard whispers asking her
247
00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:17.079
to be released. My grandmother knew
all this would have consequences, so she
248
00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:22.640
decided to visit a psychologist. She
received treatment that helped her cope with all
249
00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:29.359
this stress, but the whispers did
not end. One afternoon, my grandmother
250
00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:33.160
had to run an errand in a
village near where they lived, so she
251
00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:38.720
asked my grandfather to go in the
car as they advanced on the road.
252
00:21:40.599 --> 00:21:45.519
My grandfather realized that the fog on
the road was getting denser. My grandmother
253
00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:51.039
realized that they were near the place
where they had buried the wrist, so
254
00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:56.240
she asked Grandpa to speed up the
passage, at least not to stay stranded
255
00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:00.599
in that place. However, the
net hebline did not allow them to move
256
00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:08.400
faster and my grandfather had to slow
down considerably. Minutes later on to the
257
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:14.440
side of the road. They both
realized there was a person standing. Later,
258
00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:21.200
it was a woman with white hair
wearing a white nightgown. My grandfather
259
00:22:21.279 --> 00:22:26.279
told my grandmother that it was probably
someone who had had an accident and that
260
00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:32.279
they should help her. My grandmother
kept quiet, thinking maybe it wasn'
261
00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:37.160
t a good idea. My grandfather
parked the car almost next to the woman,
262
00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:42.079
turned on the high lights so he
could see a little more and they
263
00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:47.759
both realized who it was. My
grandmother' s sister. His hands were
264
00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:52.440
muddy and the whole nightgown was covered
in dirt. My grandmother also got out
265
00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:57.680
of the car and asked him what
he was doing there, but his sister
266
00:22:57.680 --> 00:23:03.039
didn' t answer him. She
quickly opened the back door of the car
267
00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:07.880
and invited her sister up, but
she did not move. My grandfather got
268
00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:11.599
out of the car too. He
approached her and gave her a little push
269
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:18.640
to walk towards the car. Slowly
he got into the back seat they drove
270
00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:22.759
back to the house. Along the
way, my grandmother asked her sister if
271
00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:27.200
everything was okay or why she had
left the house, but her sister still
272
00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:33.759
did not answer her. Suddenly,
my grandmother sensed a familiar smell, a
273
00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:38.519
smell that she had not felt in
a long time and that immediately brought her
274
00:23:38.599 --> 00:23:42.559
to her memory. The moment he
opened the trunk where the wrist was,
275
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:49.839
he realized what was happening quickly.
My grandmother got out of her seat and
276
00:23:49.960 --> 00:23:53.559
looked at her sister' s hands. He realized he was hiding something in
277
00:23:53.640 --> 00:24:00.000
the nightgown. It was the cursed
doll. She asked her, but serum
278
00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:03.440
sister didn' t want to give
it to her for more than my grandmother
279
00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:07.920
tried to take it from her.
His sister seemed stronger and struggled more and
280
00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:12.400
more suddenly. She opened the back
door and jumped out of the car to
281
00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:17.519
one side of the road. They
stopped the car and went out to help
282
00:24:17.519 --> 00:24:22.160
her. Fortunately, they didn'
t go so fast, so he didn
283
00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:26.920
' t suffer any serious fractures,
just scratches and blows. My grandmother helped
284
00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:32.839
her sister get up, who terrified
screamed When she realized that she had no
285
00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:37.319
wrist in her hands, my grandmother
looked everywhere to see where she was and
286
00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:42.200
saw her in the middle of the
road. Her sister tried to go after
287
00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:48.039
her, but among my grandparents they
contained her and forced her back into the
288
00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:52.319
car. That' s when my
grandfather said he' d go around the
289
00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:55.519
wrist to put her back in a
sack he was carrying in the car.
290
00:24:56.079 --> 00:24:59.839
But just when he set foot on
the road, a passenger bus passes at
291
00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:06.279
that time crushing the wrist and tearing
it apart. My grandmother covered her ears,
292
00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:11.200
as she said she could hear a
horrible cry of pain. My grandfather
293
00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:15.839
returned to the car and told them
that it had been shattered. He started
294
00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:19.839
the car to return home once and
for all my grandmother' s sister stayed
295
00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:26.720
in bed without talking or eating She
stayed there for a long time drinking only
296
00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:30.519
a little water. From time to
time my grandmother contacted her mother to tell
297
00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:36.200
her she was with her sister,
my great- grandmother told her that a
298
00:25:36.319 --> 00:25:41.480
few days earlier the sister had shown
an improvement, but she was obsessed with
299
00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:47.720
getting her wrist back, especially asking
about the trunk. When she realized that
300
00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:51.440
my grandmother had the trunk, she
started insisting on going looking for it.
301
00:25:52.680 --> 00:25:56.640
How they refused. He chose to
get out of the house and go look
302
00:25:56.640 --> 00:26:00.359
for him. My mother' s
sister' s health in ra got worse.
303
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:06.279
Even a doctor went to see her
and mentioned that she needed to be
304
00:26:06.519 --> 00:26:08.440
hospitalized, but they didn' t
come to that. Her sister died a
305
00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:15.880
week after her wrist was destroyed.
The funeral was attended by the whole family,
306
00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:21.160
including the other brother, who also
suffered from mental illness. He was
307
00:26:21.279 --> 00:26:26.799
seen in better condition, speaking more
fluently than before, and his behavior had
308
00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:33.920
improved markedly. One thing my grandmother
kept secret for a long time is that
309
00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:42.279
she can still hear the words of
the doll asking me to release a story
310
00:26:42.359 --> 00:26:45.559
written and adapted by the tongue of
a sorcerer
1
00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:11.720
The doll will tell you this won' t be easy. It' s
2
00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:16.399
a story my grandmother has told us
about some events that they went through from
3
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:21.039
when she was very young to when
she had children. I emphasize that it
4
00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:25.879
is something summarized and counted in the
best way not to mention their names and
5
00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:32.000
avoid some family problem. It all
goes back many years, when my grandmother
6
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:36.840
was small and belonged to a family
that lived on the outskirts of the city
7
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:42.719
near Lake Chapala, on a small
ranch. They lived in a rather humble
8
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:47.240
house. At that time there were
not so many people and the communication between
9
00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:51.560
the city and the towns was really
scarce. My grandmother, the youngest of
10
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:56.039
five brothers and the third woman in
the family, liked to go out for
11
00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:00.079
a walk on the shores of the
lake just to see how they fished and
12
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:03.439
make it possible for them to give
her something. It was a situation that
13
00:01:03.519 --> 00:01:10.319
often occurred, as the fishermen themselves
saw my grandmother watching them and pitied them,
14
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:18.280
so they gave her some fish.
But one day things changed. A
15
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:23.040
storm had just passed and the fishermen
had gone fishing. My grandmother soon went
16
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:29.480
out to the lake to see that
she could get her way for a few
17
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:32.560
minutes until she arrived with a fisherman
who always gave her something. He saw
18
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:38.439
her approach and rushed to deliver something
to her. A porcelain doll was filled
19
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:42.680
with algae and wet. The fisherman
told my grandmother that she had been caught
20
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:48.799
with the net. That same morning, my grandmother was excited to see her
21
00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:52.400
and accepted her. She was the
first doll I' d ever have in
22
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:56.519
her life. She ran home,
very excited about the gift she had been
23
00:01:56.599 --> 00:02:01.599
given. When she arrived at the
ranch, immediately, one of her sisters
24
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:07.239
stared at her and asked her what
was in her hands, but my grandmother
25
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:10.960
refused to answer her knew that her
sister would take it away and not return
26
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:15.719
it to her. Her older sister, who was quite possessive, approached her
27
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:21.400
and snatched her wrist from her hands. My grandmother insisted that I return it
28
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:25.120
to her, but her sister refused
and, looking at her from head to
29
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:30.400
toe, told her that she was
an ugly, dirty doll that should be
30
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:35.240
thrown into the trash. That way, her sister took her away, leaving
31
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:39.479
my grandmother crying. It' s
been several hours. My grandmother had already
32
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:45.879
calmed down and was in the lobby
with two of her brothers. When they
33
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:51.800
heard the door open all of a
sudden, her sister walked through her head
34
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:55.439
looking down, holding her wrist in
her hands. My grandmother was happy to
35
00:02:55.479 --> 00:03:00.879
see that the wrist was in good
condition and asked her sister if she could
36
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:07.080
return it. Her sister replied very
aggressively that she would keep it. Her.
37
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:12.120
He walked slowly without looking at the
others and locked himself in his room
38
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:15.879
with his wrist. Both my grandmother
and her brothers were shocked by what had
39
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:23.120
happened that night. While everyone was
asleep, a strange laugh invaded the house.
40
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:29.879
My grandmother woke up and looked around. There were his father and mother
41
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:36.280
sleeping next to him and his younger
brothers in the other beds. But again
42
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:42.120
the laughter rang and this time my
grandmother was sure it didn' t come
43
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:46.639
from anyone in the room. He
rose in silence and walked into the hallway,
44
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:52.120
where he was sure to have heard
the voice. Suddenly there was a
45
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:55.599
cry similar to that of a woman. The first thing my grandmother thought was
46
00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:00.800
that one of her older sisters had
been hurt, so she ran to the
47
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:06.280
kitchen where she thought the sounds were
coming from. When he came to the
48
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:12.439
door, his heart almost stopped seeing
what he least expected. Her older sister
49
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:15.879
was standing right next to the table, holding the wrist in one hand and
50
00:04:15.959 --> 00:04:20.720
leaning on the table with the other. My grandmother asked him if he was
51
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:25.199
okay, and his sister answered him
with the same aggressive tone of voice,
52
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:30.240
assuring him that he was perfectly.
My grandmother told him that she had heard
53
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:34.560
laughter and tears and was curious to
see what it was about. According to
54
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:40.800
my grandmother, her sister was slowly
approaching and then she could see that the
55
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:46.040
wristâ s gaze was fixed on
her. I could clearly appreciate the doll
56
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:49.920
watching her. My grandmother thought that
her mind was playing a bad game,
57
00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:56.959
that everything was the product of her
imagination. When the doll suddenly blinked a
58
00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:00.920
chill, it ran through my grandmother' s body and took several steps back.
59
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:05.839
She told her sister that she would
leave her alone and that if she
60
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:14.279
needed anything, I would call her
All night long, tears and voices continued
61
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:17.199
to be heard, but my grandmother
no longer dared to go and see what
62
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:23.120
it was about. The next morning, while everyone had breakfast, the only
63
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:27.600
person who had not sat at the
table was the older sister. She didn
64
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:30.879
' t want to leave her room
as much as my grandmother' s parents
65
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:36.279
went looking for her. She told
them to leave her alone. A few
66
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:41.879
hours passed, my grandmother and her
brothers were playing in the living room,
67
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:47.319
when suddenly a huge chill ran through
her back. The temperature had decreased for
68
00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:53.839
some strange reason. Then one of
my grandmother' s brothers pointed to the
69
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:59.000
wall and they all looked in that
direction. The older sister looked like she
70
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:02.800
was hiding from them and when she
noticed that they were watching her, she
71
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:10.800
quickly vanished. Within a few seconds, slow steps began to be heard approaching.
72
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:16.639
The three of them stared down the
hall and then the older sister appeared
73
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:23.839
walking side by side in one hand, carrying her wrist hanging as if she
74
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:27.560
weighed several kilos and could barely handle
it. He went into the bathroom,
75
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:31.360
closed the door and opened the key
to the shower to bathe. So,
76
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:36.959
one of my grandmother' s brothers
mentioned that that was chilling and that her
77
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:43.439
sister had changed a lot since that
doll arrived. Then another of his brothers
78
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:46.240
came up with the silly idea of
going through his wrist to hide it.
79
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:53.279
My grandmother tried to warn him not
to, as she was not just a
80
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:58.120
doll, but her brother told her
that nothing was wrong. Ignoring the warning,
81
00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:02.079
he approached the door or the door
and opened it slowly so as not
82
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:06.480
to alert his older sister and entered
through the wrist. It didn' t
83
00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:11.319
happen a minute when all of a
sudden you heard laughter from the bathroom.
84
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:15.399
It wasn' t his brother or
his sister he was laughing at. There
85
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:20.600
seemed to be someone else inside.
Suddenly, a horrible cry sounded so loud
86
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:27.040
that my grandmother and her other brother
covered their ears. Crying and laughter stopped
87
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:30.600
listening to each other. All you
could hear was the water noise from the
88
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:38.439
shower. My grandmother' s father
came running asking what that had been.
89
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:44.399
I was sure I' d heard
someone else inside the house. Then the
90
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:48.959
bathroom door opened and they looked inside. There were his brother and his sister,
91
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:54.720
both looking up at the wall as
if they were hypnotized. My grandmother
92
00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:59.519
' s father came up to talk
to them, but they both had a
93
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:03.959
gray, lifeless look. Then my
grandmother noticed something, something the others overlooked
94
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:09.920
sitting down. On the top of
the toilet was the doll with its head
95
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:15.839
tilted. He seemed to be looking
at my grandmother again. As I was
96
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:20.560
saying, the ranch was very isolated
with the city back then. So my
97
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:24.600
grandmother' s father thought to call
the town doctor by showing his children in
98
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:31.399
that situation. The first thing the
doctor said was that perhaps it had been
99
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:35.720
the bite of an animal that inhabits
the area and that, unfortunately, caused
100
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:41.960
hallucinations and catatonic states in people.
Everything pointed to what that had been.
101
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:48.519
It was only left to take care
of the sick until the effect was passed
102
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:52.600
on, but my grandmother was certain
that this had been caused as a result
103
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:56.919
of the wrist. My grandmother'
s father had no choice but to abide
104
00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:01.279
by the doctor' s instructions during
the stage of caring for his brothers.
105
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:07.799
The things of both of them were
stored in a wooden trunk and inside it
106
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:11.559
they came to put my grandmother'
s wrist too. Seeing this he could
107
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:18.120
feel enormous relief. The things of
both brothers were sheltered in the trunk for
108
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:24.120
a long time. Unfortunately, my
grandmotherâ s brothers did not show an
109
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:30.080
early improvement, but quite the opposite. His state of mind was aggravated to
110
00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:33.200
such an extent that today it is
already necessary to take care of them forever.
111
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:39.279
For years, the doll was sheltered
in the trunk, which did not
112
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:43.799
open, but until thirteen years later, when the family had to make some
113
00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:48.000
arrangements to the house. The one
who opened the trunk was my great-
114
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:52.639
grandmother. I was looking for things
to get rid of. He then reminded
115
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:58.600
a family who had just settled near
the house. In that family they had
116
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:03.759
a little girl as young as four
years old, so my great- grandmother
117
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:09.679
thought of giving it to her.
One Saturday afternoon, the neighbors came to
118
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:13.080
the house to find my mother.
They had to go out to visit a
119
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:18.039
relative of theirs at the hospital,
but by local rules they could not bring
120
00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:24.000
children, so they asked my great- grandmother to help them take care of
121
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:28.039
their daughter. My great- grandmother
thought it was a good idea, but
122
00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:31.799
what I had in mind was for
my grandmother to take care of the child
123
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.720
while she was making dinner. The
girl stayed in the living room playing and
124
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:41.399
my grandmother kindly agreed to take care
of her. He decided to approach the
125
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:46.480
girl to get to know her a
little more, but when asked how she
126
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:50.159
was, he realized that the girl
was not very social. She also asked
127
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:54.399
him what he liked to do,
but the girl did not respond. He
128
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:58.279
was very concentrated playing with some wooden
blocks that he had brought from his house.
129
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:05.799
My grandmother, a little desperate,
decided to step aside and sit on
130
00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:11.399
the couch when she suddenly met the
old doll that had been given to her
131
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:16.000
sitting next to her. He quickly
rose from the couch and approached his mother
132
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:20.960
to ask her about the wrist.
Her mother told her that she had found
133
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:24.919
it in the trunk and that a
few days ago she had given it to
134
00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:28.519
the girl. My grandmother approached the
girl and asked her if she was okay
135
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:33.080
or if something had happened to her
at home with her wrist. But the
136
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:37.519
girl only replied that the doll liked
to play hide- and- seek.
137
00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:43.639
Disconcerted, my grandmother asked her when
this happened and the girl told her that
138
00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:48.480
it always happened when she was asleep. My grandmother approached her wrist and examined
139
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:54.840
her. She seemed normal, but
she knew how evil she could be.
140
00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:58.720
She asked the girl if it would
be okay to keep her wrist, to
141
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:03.440
which the girl replied that she did
not like that doll, because whenever she
142
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:09.519
kept it, she kicked where she
would put it and had to take it
143
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:13.879
out again before my grandmother kept asking
more questions. My great- grandmother asked
144
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:18.240
them to come to dinner. At
that time, there were only my great
145
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:24.879
- grandparents, my grandmother and her
two mentally troubled brothers and the girl in
146
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:30.399
the house. The other brothers were
either outside or at their cousins' house.
147
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:33.840
During dinner, the girl kept watching
the doll, which was sitting on
148
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:41.919
the floor. My great- grandmother
told him that she had nothing to worry
149
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:45.200
about because she wouldn' t leave
there. The girl seemed to be convinced,
150
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:50.639
so she stopped worrying about her.
A little later, the girl fell
151
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:56.120
asleep on my great- grandmother'
s lap, so they decided to take
152
00:12:56.759 --> 00:13:01.080
her to sleep not without first ordering
my grandmother to pick up all the girl
153
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:03.759
' s toys and keep them.
My great- grandmother realized that would be
154
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:09.879
her chance to get rid of the
wrist. Once and for all. The
155
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:16.279
tension in the house increased with every
moment. Everyone slept, except my grandmother,
156
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:20.399
who stayed to pick up the toys. In the end she left the
157
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:24.960
doll right where the girl had left
her sitting in the middle of the room.
158
00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:31.919
While I was picking up, my
grandmother wouldn' t turn her eyes
159
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:35.440
off her wrist and when she ended
up she sat near her. My grandmother
160
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:39.000
told the doll that she knew well
what she had done to her brothers and
161
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:45.000
that she knew she was a devilish
doll. The doll didn' t react
162
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:48.639
or do anything, so my grandmother
got out of the chair and went to
163
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:54.679
get a sack to get her inside. But when he came back with the
164
00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:58.840
sack, the doll was gone.
My grandmother realized that she had made a
165
00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:03.039
mistake leaving her alone for a few
seconds, so she started looking for her.
166
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:11.200
At that moment he heard the dog
start barking outside the house. He
167
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:16.000
quickly left the house and headed where
the dog barked. There he found him
168
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:22.799
sitting with his body tense, looking
into the darkness and barking scared. My
169
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:28.159
grandmother approached slowly and saw a pair
of bright eyes that had the dog terrified.
170
00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:33.279
Quickly, my grandmother called her dog
into the house and they both ran
171
00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:41.759
inside. My grandmother closed all the
windows doors and plugged any hole the wrist
172
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:48.039
could hide through. That night,
my grandmother couldn' t sleep like she
173
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:52.240
should. She stayed awake with her
dog on guard in case the doll appeared
174
00:14:52.320 --> 00:15:00.200
again the next morning, when everything
seemed a little quieter. The girl woke
175
00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:05.600
up and spoke to my great-
grandmother. My grandmother who had just woken
176
00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:09.279
up from the little dream she had
achieved. She noticed that the girl was
177
00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:13.919
carrying something in her arms. He
realized it was the doll. He didn
178
00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:20.399
' t understand how he had managed
to return, but the doll had found
179
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:24.720
a way to sneak back in to
the girl. Hours later, when the
180
00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:28.159
girl went out to play and left
the doll again on the floor. This
181
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:33.279
time, the dog barked at him
strangely, as if he perceived that it
182
00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:39.000
was an evil doll. My grandmother
already had the sack ready, so she
183
00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:45.720
approached her wrist and put it abruptly
into the sack. Then he climbed the
184
00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:50.360
stairs to the attic, where the
trunk was supposed to still be. Without
185
00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:54.720
taking the doll off the sack,
he shoved it into the trunk and closed
186
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:58.759
it with a lock. At that
moment, a fragile voice was heard behind
187
00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:03.399
her saying you used my wrist.
My grandmother felt her blood freezing, but
188
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:08.360
when she turned around she realized she
was her older sister. The latter had
189
00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:14.399
seen my grandmother put something in the
trunk and had been insisting on asking about
190
00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:18.720
her wrist. However, my grandmother
had to lie to him telling him that
191
00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:23.480
he was not there and asking him
not to insist. Shortly afterwards, when
192
00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:27.120
the girl realized that her wrist was
missing, my grandmother approached her and told
193
00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:32.279
her that she no longer had to
fear that she had taken care of the
194
00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:37.720
problem. For the first time since
the girl stayed at the house of the
195
00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:44.840
great- grandparents, she smiled as
if a weight had been lifted from her
196
00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:48.759
shoulders. The years passed and all
that time my grandmother kept the key hidden.
197
00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:55.960
Her older sister continued to insist on
her doll, but my grandmother always
198
00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:59.960
refused. Finally s later. O
O O O O O O O Or,
199
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:04.799
my grandmother would marry my grandfather and
take several things, including the trunk.
200
00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:10.680
Even though it had been a long
time since the last incident with the
201
00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:15.039
wrist and that my grandmother was already
an adult woman, married and with her
202
00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:21.640
own family. The memory of those
events continued to haunt it as a bitter
203
00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:26.519
memory, despite having left behind the
ranch and the house where those events occurred.
204
00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:32.440
The terror that the doll instilled in
her life still persisted in her memory,
205
00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:37.519
but even though she continued to fear
her, she could not leave her
206
00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:41.240
in the house with her parents and
her brothers, They would take a great
207
00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:48.319
risk, So my grandmother decided to
take the risk by staying with the trunk
208
00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:53.200
one night while ordering some belongings in
the attic of her new house, found
209
00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:56.039
the key to the old trunk where
she locked the wrist. The find.
210
00:17:56.319 --> 00:18:03.119
He filled her with deep concern,
but he was also extremely curious. She
211
00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:08.640
wondered what had happened to her determined
wrist, but a little shaky, my
212
00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:14.319
grandmother decided to open the trunk and
face her past. Turning the key and
213
00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:18.559
lifting the lid, a gust of
cold and rancid air came out of its
214
00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:23.759
interior as if the trunk was locking
more than just a doll and old papers
215
00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:30.720
between cobwebs and dust. The doll
was out of the sack. My grandmother
216
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:34.319
remembered that I had tied her up. The look on the wrist was empty
217
00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:41.559
and his sinister smile remained intact.
It had some bites, which seemed to
218
00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:45.880
be from a rodent and the ropita
was very dirty. My grandmother picked her
219
00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:51.480
up and stared at her for several
seconds. I had the feeling that at
220
00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:56.960
any moment the wrist would twist.
In that a terrible feeling of discomfort invaded
221
00:18:57.039 --> 00:19:02.400
her. The atmosphere became not cloudy
and the air became so dense that it
222
00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:07.119
could barely breathe. My grandmother looked
at her wrist with a lot of rage
223
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:11.920
and quickly put her in the trunk. When he was about to close it,
224
00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:15.160
he could hear a voice that seemed
to come from the wrist. My
225
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:21.960
grandmother got a horrible chill and felt
a paralyzing fear that took hold of her,
226
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:26.799
but she forced herself to keep her
composure with a firm hand. He
227
00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:30.880
took the lid of the trunk and
closed it tightly. Finally, he put
228
00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:36.880
the lock back on. My grandmother
was already determined to get rid of that
229
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:41.400
evil presence from her home once and
for all, so she asked Grandpa to
230
00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:47.599
help her take the trunk to a
forest near where they lived. What my
231
00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:52.160
grandmother intended was to carry the trunk
and bury it with the wrist inside between
232
00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:56.799
the two of us. The trunk
was loaded into the family van and this
233
00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:00.920
task was carried out after an hour
or an hour of driving and having arrived
234
00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:07.160
in the forest. My grandmother told
my grandfather where she wanted to be buried.
235
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:11.759
It wouldn' t take long,
so my grandmother took the opportunity to
236
00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:18.599
tell Grandpa everything and let him know
why he was doing that. The two
237
00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:22.279
began to end and, while doing
so, my grandmother mentioned to my grandfather
238
00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:27.519
that she felt that something was not
right and that she could also feel someone
239
00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:33.359
watching them. Between the two of
them they were able to dig a deep
240
00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:37.200
hole where they threw the trunk and
then cast the whole earth over it.
241
00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:41.880
As they did so, my grandmother
prayed a couple of our parents and a
242
00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:47.279
weed bird, begging them not to
see the light of day again, my
243
00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:52.359
grandmother began to feel great relief.
When she finally saw the hole covered,
244
00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:59.480
she kept faith that this whole nightmare
would finally come to an end. However,
245
00:20:59.839 --> 00:21:03.319
his peace of mind lasted very little. For several days. My grandmother
246
00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:10.519
had nightmares and the feeling that someone
was watching her even heard whispers asking her
247
00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:17.079
to be released. My grandmother knew
all this would have consequences, so she
248
00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:22.640
decided to visit a psychologist. She
received treatment that helped her cope with all
249
00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:29.359
this stress, but the whispers did
not end. One afternoon, my grandmother
250
00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:33.160
had to run an errand in a
village near where they lived, so she
251
00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:38.720
asked my grandfather to go in the
car as they advanced on the road.
252
00:21:40.599 --> 00:21:45.519
My grandfather realized that the fog on
the road was getting denser. My grandmother
253
00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:51.039
realized that they were near the place
where they had buried the wrist, so
254
00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:56.240
she asked Grandpa to speed up the
passage, at least not to stay stranded
255
00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:00.599
in that place. However, the
net hebline did not allow them to move
256
00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:08.400
faster and my grandfather had to slow
down considerably. Minutes later on to the
257
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:14.440
side of the road. They both
realized there was a person standing. Later,
258
00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:21.200
it was a woman with white hair
wearing a white nightgown. My grandfather
259
00:22:21.279 --> 00:22:26.279
told my grandmother that it was probably
someone who had had an accident and that
260
00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:32.279
they should help her. My grandmother
kept quiet, thinking maybe it wasn'
261
00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:37.160
t a good idea. My grandfather
parked the car almost next to the woman,
262
00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:42.079
turned on the high lights so he
could see a little more and they
263
00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:47.759
both realized who it was. My
grandmother' s sister. His hands were
264
00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:52.440
muddy and the whole nightgown was covered
in dirt. My grandmother also got out
265
00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:57.680
of the car and asked him what
he was doing there, but his sister
266
00:22:57.680 --> 00:23:03.039
didn' t answer him. She
quickly opened the back door of the car
267
00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:07.880
and invited her sister up, but
she did not move. My grandfather got
268
00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:11.599
out of the car too. He
approached her and gave her a little push
269
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:18.640
to walk towards the car. Slowly
he got into the back seat they drove
270
00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:22.759
back to the house. Along the
way, my grandmother asked her sister if
271
00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:27.200
everything was okay or why she had
left the house, but her sister still
272
00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:33.759
did not answer her. Suddenly,
my grandmother sensed a familiar smell, a
273
00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:38.519
smell that she had not felt in
a long time and that immediately brought her
274
00:23:38.599 --> 00:23:42.559
to her memory. The moment he
opened the trunk where the wrist was,
275
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:49.839
he realized what was happening quickly.
My grandmother got out of her seat and
276
00:23:49.960 --> 00:23:53.559
looked at her sister' s hands. He realized he was hiding something in
277
00:23:53.640 --> 00:24:00.000
the nightgown. It was the cursed
doll. She asked her, but serum
278
00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:03.440
sister didn' t want to give
it to her for more than my grandmother
279
00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:07.920
tried to take it from her.
His sister seemed stronger and struggled more and
280
00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:12.400
more suddenly. She opened the back
door and jumped out of the car to
281
00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:17.519
one side of the road. They
stopped the car and went out to help
282
00:24:17.519 --> 00:24:22.160
her. Fortunately, they didn'
t go so fast, so he didn
283
00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:26.920
' t suffer any serious fractures,
just scratches and blows. My grandmother helped
284
00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:32.839
her sister get up, who terrified
screamed When she realized that she had no
285
00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:37.319
wrist in her hands, my grandmother
looked everywhere to see where she was and
286
00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:42.200
saw her in the middle of the
road. Her sister tried to go after
287
00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:48.039
her, but among my grandparents they
contained her and forced her back into the
288
00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:52.319
car. That' s when my
grandfather said he' d go around the
289
00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:55.519
wrist to put her back in a
sack he was carrying in the car.
290
00:24:56.079 --> 00:24:59.839
But just when he set foot on
the road, a passenger bus passes at
291
00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:06.279
that time crushing the wrist and tearing
it apart. My grandmother covered her ears,
292
00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:11.200
as she said she could hear a
horrible cry of pain. My grandfather
293
00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:15.839
returned to the car and told them
that it had been shattered. He started
294
00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:19.839
the car to return home once and
for all my grandmother' s sister stayed
295
00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:26.720
in bed without talking or eating She
stayed there for a long time drinking only
296
00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:30.519
a little water. From time to
time my grandmother contacted her mother to tell
297
00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:36.200
her she was with her sister,
my great- grandmother told her that a
298
00:25:36.319 --> 00:25:41.480
few days earlier the sister had shown
an improvement, but she was obsessed with
299
00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:47.720
getting her wrist back, especially asking
about the trunk. When she realized that
300
00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:51.440
my grandmother had the trunk, she
started insisting on going looking for it.
301
00:25:52.680 --> 00:25:56.640
How they refused. He chose to
get out of the house and go look
302
00:25:56.640 --> 00:26:00.359
for him. My mother' s
sister' s health in ra got worse.
303
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:06.279
Even a doctor went to see her
and mentioned that she needed to be
304
00:26:06.519 --> 00:26:08.440
hospitalized, but they didn' t
come to that. Her sister died a
305
00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:15.880
week after her wrist was destroyed.
The funeral was attended by the whole family,
306
00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:21.160
including the other brother, who also
suffered from mental illness. He was
307
00:26:21.279 --> 00:26:26.799
seen in better condition, speaking more
fluently than before, and his behavior had
308
00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:33.920
improved markedly. One thing my grandmother
kept secret for a long time is that
309
00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:42.279
she can still hear the words of
the doll asking me to release a story
310
00:26:42.359 --> 00:26:45.559
written and adapted by the tongue of
a sorcerer
