La Posesión De Mi Madre, Pudo Acabar Con Mi Vida Historias De Terror - REDE

WEBVTT

1
00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:11.960
The abandoned neighborhood. There was a
time when I only lived with my mother,

2
00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:17.120
in a semi abandoned neighborhood, where
things happened to us that I still

3
00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:21.559
can' t understand. Logically,
my mother had left my father a long

4
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:26.960
time ago when I was only about
two years old. Since then, it

5
00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:31.359
was just me and my mother.
Therefore we had to live constantly in different

6
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:37.719
places, always for a short time. Unfortunately, we never have the support

7
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:42.039
of the family, neither of my
father nor of my mother. In fact,

8
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:45.679
as far as I remember, it' s always been just us.

9
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:51.200
Two. My mother was offered a
very cheap rent from a small house in

10
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:58.000
the neighborhood. The owner had told
us that he would soon sell the entire

11
00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:02.240
neighborhood to a person who wanted to
set up a factory, so he told

12
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:06.840
my mother that he could rent a
place for a couple of months, but

13
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:11.200
as soon as he told us,
we would have to leave the neighborhood for

14
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:15.480
just 300 Mexican pesos. A month
later, we managed to get a place

15
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:19.439
to sleep, which gave my mother
enough time to get a better place.

16
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:25.959
For my part, I was glad
that this time I would not be changed

17
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:32.719
from school as always when we moved
home. The neighborhood was located right in

18
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:38.200
the heart of the city, between
alleyways and more modern buildings. This place

19
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:42.400
seemed forgotten in time, inside most
of the houses were uninhabited, with worn

20
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:51.560
walls and stains that were already difficult
to remove. There were even some who

21
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:57.519
could barely stand. The broken windows
of one of the houses gave the appearance

22
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:02.319
that it was a haunted place.
Even the owner, when introducing us to

23
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:08.080
the place, mentioned that it would
not be a good idea to approach there,

24
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:12.680
because at any time it could come
down. Right behind the stairs leading

25
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:16.120
to the top floor, where we
could hang our clothes to dry, was

26
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:23.919
the dumpster. There one could leave
his trash and the truck would stop by

27
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:27.879
once a week to pick it up. My mother asked the owner if there

28
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:32.639
was anyone else living in the houses. He commented that just that week the

29
00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:38.120
last tenant, a young couple,
would leave. In other words, starting

30
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:45.680
next week we' d just be
my mother and me. The neighborhood was

31
00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:50.560
very quiet. You could hear the
air, go through the houses and whistle

32
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:54.560
through every hole. In some houses, as on the floor, I could

33
00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:59.960
notice the moss growing and right next
to the stairs was the one to laugh

34
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:02.960
at our little house for a few
months. One of the few houses that

35
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:09.319
still had the iron door complete,
rusty, but complete. The owner opened

36
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:15.319
the door of a push. Apparently
he didn' t even bother to lock

37
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:20.840
it inside Everything was dark, with
a strange smell of moisture. There was

38
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:24.599
a small living room, two bedrooms, a bathroom and a small patio.

39
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:30.400
Without asking, my mother gave the
owner a month' s deposit and the

40
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:34.800
advance rent. We didn' t
have many things. A friend of my

41
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:38.520
mom' s from her job helped
us move in on a single trip with

42
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:43.879
her truck. My room consisted only
of my clothes, my mattress and a

43
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:50.439
toy box. I found myself putting
my things on top of boxes. When

44
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:54.159
my mother told me to leave for
a few moments, she asked me if

45
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:59.000
I could leave myself to what I
didn' t see anything wrong with and

46
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:01.479
I told her that she doesn'
t care. He' d just turned

47
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:08.800
eleven. I already felt great and
able to face several problems. It'

48
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:13.840
s been about 20 minutes since my
mother left. When I sensed something a

49
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:18.519
strange breath, it was heard all
around me and with it a terrible chill

50
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:21.879
made me tremble. I' ve
never felt a feeling before. So,

51
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:28.839
I suddenly had the absurd idea that
someone was watching me I looked behind me,

52
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:32.360
but there was no one. In
fact, I even asked about my

53
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:36.680
mother' s return, but I
didn' t get an answer. Then,

54
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:40.680
by the edge of the wall I
got to see a dark lump.

55
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:46.000
At first I was not alarmed,
but when I noticed that it took the

56
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:47.720
shape of a child' s face, the blood went to my feet.

57
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:54.720
He was pale in hair, short
and black. He was just looking at

58
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:57.800
me innocently. I thought that child
had gone into the house without me noticing,

59
00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:01.560
but when I asked him how he
had entered and saw that he did

60
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:06.879
not respond, I felt restless.
I asked her her name, but I

61
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:10.879
didn' t get an answer either. I approached him and could see him

62
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:15.480
in more detail. He was smaller
than me, maybe about four years old

63
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:20.360
I opened the front door and asked
him out. Right then I heard my

64
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:26.399
mother' s voice coming up,
so I quickly came out to warn her

65
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:30.199
about the child. Apparently, my
mother had gone to the store with her

66
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:35.040
friend, bringing food and some drinks. When I was alarmed, they put

67
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:40.319
the bags aside and asked me what
was going on. I took them to

68
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:44.439
the house and told them where the
child was. My mother, surprised,

69
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:49.480
came in, but looked everywhere and
saw no one. He asked me if

70
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:54.360
I was sure of what I had
seen and if it had not been my

71
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:59.360
imagination, so I described as best
I could the child I saw My mother

72
00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:02.839
' s friend so also searched even
behind the moving boxes and inside them,

73
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:09.360
but they found no one. The
most logical thing that occurred to me was

74
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:13.439
that the child had taken advantage of
it to leave without seeing it when I

75
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:16.399
went to look for my mother.
But it all happened in a fraction of

76
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:21.560
seconds, so it didn' t
make sense. Later we set out to

77
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:27.560
eat and finish keeping what was missing. My mother' s friend stayed to

78
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:31.079
sleep with us that night. In
a way, I didn' t like

79
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:36.800
it very much, but it was
an unknown place and somehow you could feel

80
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:41.839
the nervousness in the environment. I
was trying to concentrate on dinner, but

81
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:46.279
every unusual noise made me jump out
of my seat. I was totally alert

82
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:54.279
to any presence and this feeling was
no more. The night fell on the

83
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:59.639
neighborhood with dense darkness. There was
no light between the houses, except that

84
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:02.759
of the couple who lived a little
further back. You could hear the wind

85
00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:10.600
whispering between the cracked walls of the
other abandoned houses. We' re getting

86
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:13.800
ready to go to sleep. I
was very anxious to be in that place,

87
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:17.519
so I asked my mother for the
phone to play for a while and

88
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:23.759
keep my mind occupied. I slept
on my mattress. I struggled to keep

89
00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:29.319
my mind focused on the game,
but every noise kept me restless, until

90
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:33.800
finally the tiredness beat me and I
fell asleep. I was woken up abruptly

91
00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:39.319
by a sound that smelled my blood. The sharp squealing of a strong-

92
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:46.240
flashing door. My eyes were wide
open and my heart was pounding hard on

93
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:51.600
my chest. I sat on the
couch looking around me. You could barely

94
00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:57.720
tell things apart in the dark.
I looked at the window and noticed that

95
00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:01.839
there was some wind. I thought
maybe in another house some door had been

96
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:07.920
whipped because of the loud swindles,
but again I heard that noise. I

97
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:13.560
was so startled that it even seemed
strange to me that my mother had not

98
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:18.399
risen to find out what that had
been. I stood up and with my

99
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:22.360
heart in my throat, I braved
myself to face whatever was whipping the door.

100
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:28.600
I slowly headed towards the living room, where the sound had resounded.

101
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:33.120
I realized that my mother' s
friend was lying on the couch and apparently

102
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:39.679
my mother was in the bed in
her room, which was closed. Then

103
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:48.360
I realized that the front door of
the house was open. Swinging slowly with

104
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:52.639
the wind of the night, I
approached her to close it. When I

105
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:56.720
ran into something that knocked me out
of breath and paralyzed me with terror.

106
00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:03.440
Outside and right in front of our
house stood a dark figure barely perceptible in

107
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:07.159
the gloom standing. On the threshold. I didn' t know how long

108
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:11.639
he was there. Stopped the fear
had taken over me, I had frozen

109
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:18.279
every muscle and my mind was clouded
by panic. I was totally paralyzed until

110
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:24.279
finally the sound of a few steps
approaching made me wake up from this horrible

111
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:28.639
trance. It was about my mother. His face looked pale and lifeless.

112
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:35.639
I was returning to the house and
although I was facing her, she seemed

113
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:39.240
not to notice my presence. He
walked past me and got into his room.

114
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:45.519
It was like I was sleepwalking,
but it was really scary. After

115
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:50.440
that, the wind stopped and the
atmosphere felt lighter. I could even hear

116
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:54.639
the crickets and some dog. To
bark in the distance and the dark figure

117
00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:58.519
I had seen was no longer there. I closed the door and went back

118
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:03.240
to my room I saw to go
back to bed. However, I could

119
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:07.240
not fall asleep. Again I didn' t know what had happened or why

120
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:11.919
my mother was out of her room. Something was happening and it was certainly

121
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:18.120
a consequence of the neighborhood. The
next day, just as it was dawning

122
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:24.120
and there was a little more light
I made the decision to explore a little

123
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:28.679
bit I felt a little more courage, and even my mother' s friend

124
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:31.960
told me that he wanted to accompany
me, I didn' t want to

125
00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:37.759
let myself explore. Besides, my
mother wasn' t up yet. We

126
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:43.679
left the house and suddenly saw a
young man taking out boxes. We assumed

127
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:48.480
it was the couple who would soon
move in. We approached to greet him,

128
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:54.039
but the young man upon seeing us
was so surprised that he called his

129
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:56.480
partner from the house. A girl
who was pregnant came out. The young

130
00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:01.639
man asked us how long we had
been in that house, to which we

131
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:05.840
replied that only one day. That' s when he told us that several

132
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:09.440
days ago he saw that at night
right in the house where we were living.

133
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:15.200
The lights went on by themselves and
when he was going to check,

134
00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:18.519
I didn' t see anyone inside. That' s why he was very

135
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:22.120
surprised to see us there. Even
his partner asked us if at night we

136
00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:31.120
had not experienced something strange or unusual. My mother' s friend immediately replied

137
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:35.639
no. Without letting me say anything
he told us, the young man left

138
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:39.360
me with a knot in my stomach. I could hardly imagine that something had

139
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:46.840
happened before in that house and that
made me nervous. Still, we decided

140
00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:52.399
to explore a little more around us. We went into different houses, all

141
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:58.240
empty, but equally undone. Inside
it looked more like rubble than a place

142
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:03.559
where someone had lived one that another
cat jumped out of nowhere and scared us

143
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:09.559
both. It was strange, but
I had that feeling again that someone was

144
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:13.720
watching us from the windows of the
houses. So, my mother' s

145
00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:18.679
friend thought we' d go to
the dump. It was the last corner

146
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:22.480
we needed to investigate, so I
didn' t see anything wrong with it.

147
00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:28.360
We just got to the dump.
A chill lifted the beautiful ones out

148
00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:33.159
of my arms. I could feel
something coming through my body. It was

149
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:37.600
a strange thing. I couldn'
t move for a few seconds and when

150
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:41.519
I least thought about it, I
was alone I didn' t know where

151
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:46.159
I had gone. My mother'
s friend tried to scream, but the

152
00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:50.399
voice didn' t come out.
Then the wind went up and I felt

153
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:56.240
it push me and then I saw
a dark figure moving through the piles of

154
00:12:56.240 --> 00:13:01.799
garbage. He seemed to be hiding
from me and suddenly they' re falling

155
00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:05.200
apart for a second. I thought
that would be my end. A few

156
00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:11.559
seconds later my mother' s friend
came asking me where I was. I

157
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:16.480
went home with my head full of
doubts and more fears than before. I

158
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:22.559
couldn' t help wondering what dark
secrets were hiding the worn walls of the

159
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:26.600
neighborhood or how much had happened there
before. The day passed as normally as

160
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:33.240
possible. We made the last touches
to the house and settled the last ones.

161
00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:37.559
I was still a little nervous,
but it was less than before.

162
00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:43.919
My mother seemed pretty quiet. She
didn' t remember anything that happened last

163
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:50.360
night, when she seemed sleepwalking,
she told me she didn' t remember

164
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:54.279
getting up at night. When it
started at sunset, my mother' s

165
00:13:54.559 --> 00:14:00.440
friend said goodbye to both of us
by telling us that he had to leave

166
00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:03.720
because the next day he had to
work. At the end of a few

167
00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:07.360
minutes he got in his truck and
left. I could feel a horrible terror

168
00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:13.559
knowing that it would be just me
and my mother alone. When the night

169
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:18.159
fell once again upon the neighborhood,
I found myself trembling with fear on my

170
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:22.799
mattress, unable to fall asleep.
Every little noise made me jump into the

171
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:30.039
dark and my imagination made me think
of a number of horrible things, like

172
00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:35.639
someone peeking out of my window or
if someone died appeared to me. Then

173
00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:39.960
when the house plunged into the silence
of the night, I heard a sound

174
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:46.360
freezing my blood in the veins were
steps approaching the hallway. My heart was

175
00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:50.159
pounding. I felt like I was
getting out. I tried to scream,

176
00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:56.279
but my voice drowned in my throat. My body paralyzed by fear and panic

177
00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:01.759
had totally blocked me and then,
emerging from the dark as a nightmare,

178
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:07.200
I saw the dark figure of someone
small. No doubt, it was a

179
00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:11.840
child standing in front of the window
in my room. I tried to hide

180
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:18.480
under the blankets, but I also
didn' t want to move too much

181
00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:22.080
and get their attention, so I
was trying to fall asleep. The boy

182
00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:26.919
stayed there for a long time.
Then he turned around and I could see

183
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:33.200
his gaze on me. It seemed
that just by seeing me I had caused

184
00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:37.759
paralysis in my entire body. In
an instant, the figure disappeared into the

185
00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:43.879
darkness as a fleeting shadow. I
was left alone in the room shaking.

186
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:48.480
I got my breath back as soon
as I could. I was afraid of

187
00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:52.759
all this and I had to tell
my mother. For the rest of the

188
00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:58.679
night I remained motionless without closing my
eyes, waiting for dawn to pray that

189
00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:03.440
the dark figure of the child would
not return. However, the silence was

190
00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:10.080
interrupted again by more steps approaching my
room, but this time they resounded much

191
00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:17.080
more strongly. I prepared for the
worst. My muscles got tense. I

192
00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:21.519
couldn' t think of anything else
and my mind was clouded by fear.

193
00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:26.919
Then the door opened suddenly and my
mother' s figure came out of it.

194
00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:33.240
His face looked distorted as if his
mouth and eyes were combined in a

195
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:38.360
swirl. I tried to talk to
him, to ask him what was wrong

196
00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:41.320
with him, but my words got
stuck in my dry throat. I didn

197
00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:45.600
' t know what was happening and
I didn' t understand it. Then

198
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:51.600
he looked at me or seemed to
see me His face pointed at me and

199
00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:56.360
I could feel as if his gaze
crossed my soul. I even felt like

200
00:16:56.480 --> 00:17:02.039
I could read my thoughts. Then
he told me something, but I didn

201
00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:07.359
' t understand. His words sounded
scavenging and pointless, he walked away from

202
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:11.559
my room, whipping the door loudly. My heart was beating so hard that

203
00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:17.920
I could even feel the beating of
my chest. After a while I regained

204
00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:22.640
control of my senses, so I
got up quickly to go see my mother.

205
00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:27.200
I didn' t know what had
happened to her and I had to

206
00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:32.359
make sure she was okay, but
when I got to her door, I

207
00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:34.519
found something that iced me. The
blood. My mother was standing there in

208
00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:40.359
the middle of the room, but
her face was devoid of all emotion.

209
00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:45.680
Although he could already distinguish his eyes
and mouth, he did not seem to

210
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:49.319
have any emotion. Then he turned
his head and his empty eyes looked at

211
00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:53.319
me like they didn' t recognize
me, like I was a stranger in

212
00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:59.680
his own house. I tried to
get her attention, but she didn'

213
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:03.319
t respond, like she was trapped
in some sort of trance. I did

214
00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:08.200
the only thing I could think of
at the time I started praying. I

215
00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:12.200
closed the door to the room,
leaving my mother in there and I started

216
00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:18.839
praying our father and the bird weeded
until dawn. The next day. I

217
00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:23.240
woke up on the couch. I
didn' t remember when I went to

218
00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:29.880
bed, but I noticed my mother
was already awake. However, she was

219
00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:33.920
sitting next to me saying that her
head hurt a lot and that she felt

220
00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:38.240
that she had not rested at all. I realized that it was her again

221
00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:44.640
that did the same thing back then. I hugged her and asked her to

222
00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:49.279
listen to me because I had something
serious to tell her. After a long

223
00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:56.119
time of telling her everything, she
seemed to understand everything. He told me

224
00:18:56.200 --> 00:19:00.920
that he believed me because he had
had very strange dreams for the last two

225
00:19:02.319 --> 00:19:07.640
days, so he would soon bring
holy water to bless the place so that

226
00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:12.000
he could live peacefully. That day
I had to go to school and my

227
00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:17.720
mother to work, but we dedicated
all day to bless the house with the

228
00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:21.559
holy water given to us in the
temple. The truth is, I already

229
00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:26.680
felt safer. I knew that somehow
this would help a lot, but the

230
00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:33.640
test would be that night already when
it started to get dark, I asked

231
00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:37.559
my mother to let me sleep with
her. I was afraid our whole effort

232
00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:42.640
wouldn' t have worked. She
accepted and indicated that if anything ever happened

233
00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:48.200
to me, she would immediately call
her friend and he would come to help

234
00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:55.160
me. Minutes later, we both
found ourselves sleeping deeply. It was the

235
00:19:55.200 --> 00:20:00.000
first quiet night we had in a
long time. The next few days they

236
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:03.680
got tired of being just as calm. Before I went out anywhere, I

237
00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:07.599
tried to drink some holy water and
spread it over my forehead and chest as

238
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:15.480
a protection. I felt that somehow
helped me for a whole month we managed

239
00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:21.880
to live calmly and without any setbacks. I had already stopped sleeping with my

240
00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:26.559
mother and had returned to my room. Even on a couple of occasions I

241
00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:32.079
had forgotten to put on holy water, but little by little we adapted to

242
00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:37.119
our daily lives. One afternoon,
when we were finishing dinner, my mother

243
00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:42.839
had gotten an old TV. I
really liked watching cartoons and waking up on

244
00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:48.279
the weekends watching some movie for that
one. Then my mother' s friend

245
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:53.759
had asked her out. She asked
me if I could leave alone until eleven,

246
00:20:55.319 --> 00:20:57.119
to which I said yes. I
didn' t have a problem.

247
00:20:57.839 --> 00:21:03.839
I felt confident because the paranormal experiences
we went through had already calmed down,

248
00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:10.000
so it was only one thing I
had to take out the trash so that

249
00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:14.880
the cockroaches would not get in,
because living in an old neighborhood was a

250
00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:21.920
plague we had to face. She
left and I was left alone. It

251
00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:26.440
' s barely ten o' clock
at night. I took advantage of some

252
00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:30.000
commercials on TV to take out the
trash. I tied the bags and put

253
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:33.799
them on my back. Coming out
of the house. I saw there was

254
00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:38.079
a glass of an isel with a
little soda. I took it to take

255
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:42.079
advantage of throwing it away. I
also began to feel some fear. Always

256
00:21:42.200 --> 00:21:48.960
the neighborhood in absolute darkness terrified me. We were the only house with light

257
00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:56.720
and everything around us was dim.
I quickly headed towards the dumpster. I

258
00:21:56.759 --> 00:22:00.880
got to the dumpster and threw both
bags away. Then I took the glass

259
00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:03.160
from an isel and threw it away
as well. As soon as I did,

260
00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:07.960
I turned around to start walking back
home as fast as possible without running,

261
00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:17.519
because the floor had enough debris and
was very irregular. I was barely

262
00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:22.799
taking a few steps when the glass
shot at me from the dumpster and hit

263
00:22:22.839 --> 00:22:26.400
my head. I felt a huge
terror. I didn' t encourage myself

264
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:30.400
to turn around to see who had
returned my glass. I ran wildly out.

265
00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:34.519
I slipped a couple of times,
but luckily I didn' t fall.

266
00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:40.440
But I swear to God I could
hear someone yelling at me behind me.

267
00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:47.720
I' m coming for you,
I left everything on light is TV

268
00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:49.960
and I went straight to my mother' s room. There I turned on

269
00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:55.039
the lights and stayed in the middle
of the bed, begging God for my

270
00:22:55.119 --> 00:22:59.599
mother to arrive. I remembered the
holy water, so I looked for it

271
00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:04.079
in my mother' s Cajonada was
the place where I kept it, but

272
00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:10.359
to my terror I discovered that the
jar where the liquid was contained had opened

273
00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:15.720
and everything had spread over the drawer
with its fingers. I tried to take

274
00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:19.559
away as much as I could and
I persected myself with them in my mind

275
00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:26.000
and kept repeating our father and just
listening to any noise the door of the

276
00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:30.799
house said aloud. My mother opened
and closed. I had finally arrived safely.

277
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:36.079
I would scold myself for leaving everything
on, but I would tell him

278
00:23:36.119 --> 00:23:38.279
what had just happened to me.
I got out of bed and opened the

279
00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:42.759
door to receive her. But as
soon as I left his room and turned

280
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:48.559
to the entrance, I realized there
was no one. It' s a

281
00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:52.759
small house we lived in, so
it wasn' t complicated to realize who

282
00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:57.119
was or wasn' t home.
Suddenly the television began to lose signal the

283
00:23:57.680 --> 00:24:03.720
screen blinked and it was not understood
what they said on it. The antenna

284
00:24:03.799 --> 00:24:08.279
we had installed began to rotate and
move on its own. Something was inside

285
00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:14.359
the house, so I had to
hide I just stepped inside the room.

286
00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:19.319
The room light went out, then
the kitchen light and then the hallway light,

287
00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:25.759
where I was. There was only
the light that broadcasted the television without

288
00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:27.960
a signal, and that of my
mother' s room. I ran inside

289
00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:33.319
and in that I heard the television
go off alone. I took the blankets

290
00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:37.559
and tucked myself in them until I
covered my whole body. Suddenly I could

291
00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:42.799
feel someone sitting on the edge of
the bed sinking from that side and then

292
00:24:42.839 --> 00:24:49.799
moving over it. I began to
hear that strange breath. I knew it

293
00:24:49.880 --> 00:24:56.680
was on me from before. I
was shaking trying to pray and breathe at

294
00:24:56.799 --> 00:25:02.039
the same time and then something took
my foot and pulled me out of bed.

295
00:25:02.599 --> 00:25:07.119
I fell down with everything and sheltered
on one side. I quickly got

296
00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:11.240
under the bed, stared everywhere in
the fear that something would suddenly come out

297
00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:18.720
of one end. I could hear
that it was walking on the bed from

298
00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:22.839
one side to the other and then
it stopped. I was still, trying

299
00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:27.640
to guess where I' d go. That' s where I saw the

300
00:25:27.640 --> 00:25:33.440
door open. I thought it would
be my chance to run away from there,

301
00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:37.319
but something held me back. I
thought maybe it was some trap,

302
00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:42.480
so I stood there looking at the
door and in that I could feel a

303
00:25:42.559 --> 00:25:49.960
tingling behind my head and as something
scratched it slowly, I turned my head

304
00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:56.279
and next to me was there that
being had no face or, at least

305
00:25:56.359 --> 00:26:00.279
I didn' t notice his eyes
or nose, but he did open what

306
00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:04.079
seemed to be his huge mouth.
As the light was still on in that

307
00:26:04.160 --> 00:26:11.240
room, I could see that thing
was my mother. I got out as

308
00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:17.079
fast as I could from under the
bed, that being was pulling my clothes.

309
00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:18.920
I managed to get out of the
room and get out of the room.

310
00:26:19.559 --> 00:26:25.519
Then I saw my mother' s
phone on the table, which previously

311
00:26:25.640 --> 00:26:29.519
wasn' t there. I took
it and searched for my mother' s

312
00:26:29.559 --> 00:26:32.920
friend' s name and marked him. I told her something had happened to

313
00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:37.759
my mother and she was in the
neighborhood. I ran out of the house

314
00:26:37.799 --> 00:26:41.920
and went to the entrance of the
neighborhood to wait for Mr It didn'

315
00:26:42.039 --> 00:26:47.480
t take long to get there,
as it seemed that I wasn' t

316
00:26:47.480 --> 00:26:49.200
far away. I told him he
looked like a monster or something possessed.

317
00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:56.440
He told me that he had taken
enough and maybe was drunk, but to

318
00:26:56.480 --> 00:26:59.920
make sure that he would come in
and check me out. He told me

319
00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:03.960
to wait inside the truck for more
security and if I was busy returning,

320
00:27:04.359 --> 00:27:08.920
I' d dial my mother'
s number. I waited for several minutes.

321
00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:12.920
I didn' t even know what
to think. It was definitely about

322
00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:18.720
my mother. Apparently, he had
arrived and left his phone on the table

323
00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:26.400
as he used to, but again
he had become that thing. Then I

324
00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:30.720
began to hear strange noises behind my
seat. It seemed to be someone'

325
00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:37.119
s breath. I looked through the
rearview mirror and then I saw the face

326
00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:41.279
of the child who had met me
before. I turned around and just in

327
00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:45.359
the middle of the back seat was
the boy sitting. His face was even

328
00:27:45.440 --> 00:27:51.400
paler than before. He looked at
me and without saying a word, he

329
00:27:51.440 --> 00:27:56.279
told me to remain silent. Then
the phone rang. Without taking the child

330
00:27:56.359 --> 00:28:00.640
' s eyes off, I answered
and heard that he went on to my

331
00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:03.000
mother. She was telling me everything
was fine, to go to the house,

332
00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:08.440
because my mother was asking about me. I got out of the van

333
00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:14.559
and realized that the boy stayed there. I ran to the house. Everything

334
00:28:14.680 --> 00:28:18.759
was still dark and terrified, but
I barely got to the house. I

335
00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:22.799
looked out carefully. My mother was
hugged by her friend. I was crying.

336
00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:27.680
He looked at me and I realized
it was the old one. She

337
00:28:27.759 --> 00:28:33.359
asked me to hug her, which
I did with some distrust, but after

338
00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:37.960
a while I felt calm. The
three of us stayed up till morning.

339
00:28:38.599 --> 00:28:44.240
We were going to get more holy
water. The next day, my mother

340
00:28:44.279 --> 00:28:48.880
told me that when she came to
the house she felt some kind of chill

341
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:52.599
that made her twist. Remember that
his head looked toward the ceiling and stayed

342
00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:57.400
like this for several minutes. After
that, he only has vague memories of

343
00:28:57.480 --> 00:29:03.079
me running away and screaming. When
I left the house for several days,

344
00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:07.880
my mother' s friend stayed to
sleep with us. We always try to

345
00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:11.759
put holy water. However, something
inside me told me that things would be

346
00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:19.000
different for a few days. My
mother' s friend told us that strange

347
00:29:19.039 --> 00:29:23.880
noises had begun to be heard in
his house, but, like us,

348
00:29:25.480 --> 00:29:30.160
he sprinkled the entire house with holy
water and also called a priest specializing in

349
00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:37.519
spiritual entities. He told them that
it was the soul of an infant through

350
00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:44.920
a ritual. The priest helped the
lost spirit to rest in peace and our

351
00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:51.000
final time arrived in the vicinity.
The owner made an appearance. After a

352
00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:56.039
long time he asked us if something
strange had not happened during our stay,

353
00:29:56.039 --> 00:30:02.160
so my mother told him everything that
happened. He was not surprised, as

354
00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:07.160
he told us that a child had
long passed away in the dump. He

355
00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:12.240
had gone up the stairs looking for
his mother, didn' t realize that

356
00:30:12.279 --> 00:30:17.480
there was a hole in the roof, stumbled upon him, and fell from

357
00:30:17.559 --> 00:30:21.200
the top right into the dumpster.
No one knew he fell there or his

358
00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:26.319
mother. She always said that someone
had gone into the neighborhood and stolen the

359
00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:30.359
child, until finally, after a
week the garbage truck arrived, they found

360
00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:37.400
him. The neighborhood was gradually abandoned
because of this situation, so what the

361
00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:45.559
owner came up with was selling it. My mother told me a long time

362
00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:49.240
ago that she thought maybe it was
the spirit of the mother of the child

363
00:30:49.319 --> 00:30:53.880
who was still looking for him.
Today we live in an apartment already quieter

364
00:30:53.960 --> 00:30:59.400
and without so many problems, for
or at least without problems or n o

365
00:30:59.480 --> 00:31:03.640
r s rs. My mother'
s friend ended up being her boyfriend and

366
00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:07.279
over the years they ended up getting
married. Now, at my 20s,

367
00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:12.839
I remember all that time we went
through and I realize how lucky I am

368
00:31:12.839 --> 00:31:21.920
to be alive. Written and adapted
