1
00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:09.400
My air friend told me that in
the collection booth where she worked, they
2
00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:16.519
were soliciting staff, especially women.
I covered the profile they requested, so
3
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:21.120
I was encouraged just as my friend
told me, I got to work soon.
4
00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:25.879
The only thing I didn' t
like was that I would work at
5
00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:31.000
night. I had some fear of
that schedule, because ever since I was
6
00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:36.799
little I was afraid of the darkness, but there was reason to fear it,
7
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:40.079
as when I was a child I
saw shadows and people who had already
8
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:43.920
died. My brothers and my parents
never paid attention to what I was telling
9
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:49.479
them. They always took me for
crazy and I stopped telling them the reason
10
00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:54.719
for my fear of the night.
I usually fell asleep early. My grandmother
11
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:59.520
taught me to pray to my guardian
angel. She told me that all people
12
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:04.040
since we were born had only one
that most people didn' t know or
13
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:08.640
believe in that they didn' t
ask their angel to protect them, true
14
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:15.280
or not. I felt safer with
the image of the guardian angel at the
15
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:19.680
head of my bed, perhaps because
of the beliefs my grandmother taught me.
16
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:26.239
The angel protected me from the beings
I sometimes saw. I didn' t
17
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:30.159
like going to funerals either. I
saw the soul of the deceased standing at
18
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:34.439
the side of the bewildered coffin as
if I did not understand what was happening.
19
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:40.439
My grandmother was the only person who
believed me. He said that there
20
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:45.680
were two worlds, that of the
living to which we belonged and that of
21
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:49.359
the spirits on which were all the
souls that left this world. But you
22
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:55.719
had to be careful, because not
all souls transcended the beyond. There were
23
00:01:55.799 --> 00:02:00.359
others who were detained for various reasons, but in that or world of spirits
24
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:06.879
there were also demons against them.
We always had the protection of our guardian
25
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:12.240
angel. My mother was more skeptical. He said that there was no life
26
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:17.680
beyond death and that all my grandmother
told me was nonsense. She didn'
27
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:23.800
t believe him. I do,
because I was the one who suffered the
28
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:29.360
night terrors of seeing those beings move
around different parts of the street. Oh,
29
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:32.000
I knew what was happening to me. He told me if I didn
30
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:35.840
' t want to go to work
for anything. There was no problem.
31
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:39.719
It would be temporary, because with
the passage of time they would change my
32
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:44.319
shift. It had happened to her. The same is why I encouraged myself
33
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:50.479
to work. I started my first
night of work. I went to work
34
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.599
at ten o' clock tonight to
leave at six o' clock in the
35
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:58.639
morning. The first night I started
charging, I felt extremely nervous. The
36
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:04.439
toll zone was fully illuminated. There
were more workers in the other booths,
37
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:08.840
in addition to the security guards who
were in a separate cubicle, and that
38
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:15.199
' s why I was calming down
for two hours. Car traffic was fluid.
39
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:23.319
The supervisor was present to observe if
I performed my duties the first day
40
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:28.879
correctly. Something unusual happened one night. It was not temporary rain, but
41
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:34.199
that night a light rain began to
fall. We were all surprised that it
42
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:38.479
rained back then. Besides, very
few cars passed by. I had time
43
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:43.120
to talk to my shift partner at
a distance. I asked him if it
44
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:46.039
was normal for everything to be so
quiet. She said no. Usually there
45
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:52.599
were always cars. It was strange, maybe because of the unexpected rain.
46
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:55.879
There was some skid on the road
or a landslide. I started watching videos
47
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.439
on my cell phone. Suddenly I
saw in the distance several people walking on
48
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:06.840
one side of the road. As
they got closer. I could tell it
49
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:12.879
was a family. It was a
young couple with a boy and a girl.
50
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:16.959
I wanted to ask my partner if
it was normal to see people on
51
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:20.879
that side, but she wasn'
t in the cabin. I had gone
52
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:26.040
to the bathroom and for a coffee. When they saw me, they came
53
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:30.839
near where I was. The couple
was pale, while the children were crying.
54
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:36.120
The youngest girl had with her a
dirty doll hugged her tightly. The
55
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:41.759
man told me they had just had
an accident a mile back. They tried
56
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:45.680
to ask for help, but he
didn' t find his cell phone and,
57
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:48.040
since no one could help them,
they decided to walk. I hadn
58
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:53.720
' t grown up. They had
gone out with some blows, but nothing
59
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:58.240
serious. They just wanted someone to
support them to get their car because it
60
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:01.000
hadn' t turned on. Perhaps
at that time it was not possible,
61
00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:05.680
but to be helped to go to
the nearest village so that they could rest.
62
00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:12.120
The next day I could take the
necessary steps to go. To pick
63
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:16.519
him up, I pointed out where
the paramedics were and the roadside area there
64
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:20.680
were going to support them. I
asked him to calm down because I noticed
65
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:25.959
the man' s hand shaking in
the distance. I saw the lights from
66
00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:30.040
several cars, I couldn' t
accompany them to the security booth. I
67
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:33.319
saw when they walked away and went
to the place I told them when a
68
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:36.600
car arrived. The first thing I
asked him was how the accident was.
69
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:43.480
The driver of the car told me
what accident I was talking about. I
70
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:47.199
told him that the one that just
happened a moment ago in the car that
71
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:51.319
came a family. The man got
me confused, I gave him his ticket
72
00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:56.839
and he left. I couldn'
t get away from my place of work
73
00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:00.720
anymore because the cars kept paying until
the shift was over. I walked up
74
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:06.360
to the safe house looking for the
family. I asked the paramedic where the
75
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:11.839
young couple with two little ones was. The boy told me that no one
76
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:15.600
had come and that it had been
a very quiet night. I told him
77
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:20.720
my meeting with the family and that
they would come here. The paramedic told
78
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:26.079
me I had to get some rest. Not sleeping all night was not good
79
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:31.759
for mental health. The safest thing
was that I imagined that family. There
80
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:39.600
was no car accident report. All
calls arrived at the paramedic headquarters. I
81
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:44.000
wasn' t wrong, I didn' t say anything anymore. I got
82
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:48.079
confused. From there. I knew
I had the ability to see spirits before,
83
00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:53.120
but they were all isolated. They
were like shadows in the dark.
84
00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:56.800
I' ve never talked to anyone
before, like I did this time.
85
00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:02.439
The transport arrived and my substitute comparison
was already in the cabin. I had
86
00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:09.079
to retire from the workplace. During
the journey I went thinking about that family
87
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:15.759
what happened and why they wandered in
this world. Before I went to rest,
88
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:18.720
I went to my grandmother' s
house to tell her what had happened
89
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:25.879
to me. She was already awake
I found her watering her plants and feeding
90
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:30.040
the chickens. As soon as he
saw me, he asked me what was
91
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:32.120
wrong with me. My face was
ratting me out. I told him everything
92
00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:36.079
that happened. My grandmother listened attentively
to me. When I finished, he
93
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:42.160
told me that not all people when
they died left this world immediately. Many
94
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:46.560
were stuck for different reasons. She
asked me to accompany her inside the house.
95
00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:53.800
He gave me a branch of dried
rosemary and lit it. He told
96
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:57.720
me to carry Romero' s ashes
with me all the time. When I
97
00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:01.439
saw one of the beings that no
longer belonged to this world, To water
98
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:05.120
Romero' s ash in the place
where one of them was found for the
99
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:11.120
properties that had its aroma, it
served to show the way to him beyond.
100
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:16.720
I thanked my grandmother for the favor. I put Romero' s ash
101
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:20.399
in a paper bag to always carry
with me. I got to sleep at
102
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:26.480
my place right away. I fell
into a deep sleep in which I saw
103
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:31.480
that family again walking down the road, but on this occasion they were faceless,
104
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:37.960
Their factions did not exist. I
woke up scared. I didn'
105
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:41.320
t know why I saw them that
way, but it was all product of
106
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:48.960
my unconscious as the days passed.
Everything was dissipating, especially since I did
107
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:54.559
not have a similar situation again until
one day another arrived for a doctor.
108
00:08:54.919 --> 00:09:00.840
He had been changed from a collection
booth. When he came back and we
109
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:03.480
made a very good friendship. I
lived in a village near mine. One
110
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:09.240
day while we were on our way
back, I asked him if he knew
111
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:11.519
anything about the family, what was
going on walking on the road. He
112
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:16.840
stared at me for a moment I
thought he was going to make fun of
113
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:20.360
me. He was very respectful.
He told me he saw them, too.
114
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:26.360
Most of his colleagues didn' t
believe him. They told him I
115
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:31.360
imagined things, but he was sure
to have seen them. He stopped seeing
116
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:35.879
them until after a year. Again
it was the same situation. A young
117
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:41.279
couple with their two little ones walking
down the fence. On this occasion he
118
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:45.559
no longer told them anything, he
looked at them with his lost gaze.
119
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:50.960
My partner told me that the whole
family most likely died in a car accident
120
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:56.279
and each year they remembered the same
date, so they only saw each other
121
00:09:56.360 --> 00:10:00.759
once a year, which he didn' t understand where they were the rest
122
00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:05.600
of the year. That question was
left unanswered, as there was no way
123
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:11.360
to answer it. It was a
world unknown to us. After two months
124
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:16.799
another strange fact happened. There were
no cars on that occasion. It was
125
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:22.919
strange, as it was usually a
favorite time for vacationers. My partner approached
126
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:28.240
my cabin for everyone. It was
an exceptional fact. Another of my companions
127
00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:33.879
closed her booth for a moment to
eat. A little while chatting with my
128
00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:37.720
friend, we began to hear the
murmur of several people. I asked him
129
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:41.919
if he would listen to them.
He nodded where the voices came from.
130
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:48.000
In the distance I came to distinguish
a group of people who came together,
131
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:52.919
all with their hands together. Praying
I looked at my friend, he was
132
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:56.320
watching them, too. People didn' t stop to ask anything. They
133
00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:01.639
were followed by the road' s
narrowing. They passed the security guard very
134
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:07.720
closely on the side of the civil
protection cubicle. For a moment I thought
135
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:13.480
they were going to be stopped,
as it was not safe for them to
136
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:18.519
walk at night on the road could
be attacked by a cargo truck. Civil
137
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:24.919
protection partners were unaware of the presence
of the people. They kept talking and
138
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:28.360
drinking their coffee. I looked at
my friend. We both thought the same
139
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:33.919
thing without saying anything. We followed
the people until we lost sight of them.
140
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:39.600
A few minutes later a car arrived
to pay its toll. The driver
141
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:43.960
looked nervous and upset. He told
me there was an unfortunate accident back there.
142
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:50.840
A heavy cargo truck had hit a
passenger bus. The crash was so
143
00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:56.799
strong that the bus hit a hill, there were many screams and lamentations until
144
00:11:56.200 --> 00:12:01.600
everything was absolutely silent. They closed
for a while the road where the necessary
145
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:07.039
steps were taken so as not to
put the other drivers at risk. That
146
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:11.919
' s why they didn' t
drive by. Then, a lot of
147
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:16.639
car lights started to look at each
other. They had already allowed the passage.
148
00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:20.519
My partner noticed everything he' d
stayed in the cabin. He came
149
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:26.919
up to tell me that what we
saw were the deceased people who followed his
150
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:31.600
path. It was a little comforting
to know that my friend could also see
151
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:33.840
the same thing as me. That
didn' t mean she was calm.
152
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:41.759
I had never been used to seeing
spirits and fewer people who had just passed
153
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:46.320
away. Seeing appearances of already deceased
people was not easy to overcome. When
154
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:52.399
it happened, I was nervous about
any sound or knock on the glass to
155
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:58.240
get my attention. I was scared
to death, I thought it was some
156
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:03.799
of the wandering spirits. I began
to feel calm because the paranormal events no
157
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:09.399
longer gave way. I thought that
maybe I didn' t have the ability
158
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:13.840
to perceive them anymore or that there
weren' t so many accidents anymore,
159
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:16.440
but it didn' t happen as
I thought. Rainstorm' s here.
160
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:22.720
It was funny, but when it
rained harder, cars almost didn' t
161
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:26.240
get to the booth from inside the
cabin. The feeling of seeing the dark
162
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:33.279
sky illuminated with lightning was not good. On that occasion. It all began
163
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:37.759
with a strong wind that moved the
containment barriers. There was even one that
164
00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:43.159
broke. It was at that time
that there came a heavy rain that barely
165
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:50.279
allowed for visibility at very short distances
only managed to distinguish the headlights from the
166
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:54.919
cars when they were already very close. That time a black cart came in
167
00:13:56.039 --> 00:14:01.720
with the polarized glass. The driver
under the window glass could see a man
168
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:07.360
about forty years old. He reached
out to give me the money. Just
169
00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:11.559
when I took it, he grabbed
my hand so hard that I couldn'
170
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:16.120
t let go. I felt a
strange feeling. The man was very cold.
171
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:22.639
I understood because the temperature had dropped
drastically. With the storm, I
172
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:24.679
tried to get away without getting there. That' s when I asked him
173
00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:30.399
to let go. The man immediately
released my hand. At the same time
174
00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:33.960
he smiled and stared at me.
I thought this was another person who was
175
00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:39.360
trying to persuade me to go out
with her or who wanted me to smile,
176
00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:46.080
as there were people who were often
beyond the limits of work being invasive.
177
00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:50.639
I didn' t take it seriously
as soon as I gave him his
178
00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:56.600
ticket, the man left and I
was quieter, but I heard a whisper
179
00:14:56.679 --> 00:15:01.360
that made me jump out of my
seat. I clearly heard when he told
180
00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:05.240
me he was looking for you and
I found you. I did not understand
181
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:09.960
the meaning of those words or where
they came from. In addition, my
182
00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:16.639
cabin began to be filled with a
white steamer that prevented me from being visible
183
00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:20.360
with my hand cleaning the glass without
being able to see outwards. The smell
184
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:24.919
began to be unpleasant. I wanted
to open the door to get out of
185
00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:28.399
the cabin, but I didn'
t make it. The door was locked
186
00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:35.039
like outside, someone was stopping her. Again I heard the same murmur behind
187
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:39.399
me, but when I turned around
I couldn' t see anyone. A
188
00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:43.759
few minutes later, it all faded
away. The steam has spread and I
189
00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:50.120
can open the door. When I
went outside, I could breathe. I
190
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:54.600
felt like I was going to suffocate
inside the cabin. I was out for
191
00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:58.519
a few seconds until I recovered a
little bit. I looked around to see
192
00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:04.360
who had noticed what happened to me, but everything was normal. My companions
193
00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:10.519
were still tending to the vehicles.
The security guard wasn' t even in
194
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:15.559
his rightful place. I thought about
going with my friend to the civil protection
195
00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:21.480
cubicle, but several cars started to
form in the lane that I was supposed
196
00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:25.679
to attend. Trembled by fear,
he attended to the car he was waiting
197
00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:30.320
for. I didn' t know
what it would look like, because the
198
00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:33.759
woman driving asked me if I was
okay. I wanted to say no,
199
00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:37.960
something strange was behind me, but
I couldn' t do it. I
200
00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:42.480
replied that everything was fine, only
tiredness and he not sleeping had affected me.
201
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:48.039
I continued to attend to the drivers
with fear that I would again reach
202
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:53.440
that man in a black car,
because surely he was the one who had
203
00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:57.799
provoked everything. As I was charging
the toll, I could see in the
204
00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:00.960
rain the silhouette of a man dressed
in black or suit. It was not
205
00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:06.599
possible to see it easily, because
one car was behind the other. The
206
00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:12.079
line had become long, but that
man kept looking where I was. I
207
00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:15.319
wanted to go with my friend,
but I couldn' t leave the cabin
208
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:21.279
alone. It was part of the
bans we had when we had a long
209
00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:26.920
line of cars. At every moment
I felt more restless because that elegantly dressed
210
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:30.839
figure was not leaving. Besides,
what he told me filled me with fear.
211
00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:36.039
I didn' t know why he
was looking for me or what he
212
00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:40.920
intended to do. When I met
each moment, I turned to the same
213
00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:44.960
place and he didn' t leave. There was a crucial moment when my
214
00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:49.240
friend came out of his civil protection
cubicle and walked with me. The rain
215
00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:56.920
was still lingering, but he had
no objection to getting wet as if he
216
00:17:56.240 --> 00:18:00.559
felt something or realized what was happening
to me. He asked me if I
217
00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:04.680
was okay. I said no,
and I turned to the place where the
218
00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:11.039
man in black was. I couldn' t tell you anything else because the
219
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:15.079
cars kept coming. The storm wasn' t that strong anymore, but still
220
00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:21.519
the lightning lit up space for seconds. That' s when I saw that
221
00:18:21.599 --> 00:18:25.640
man with some horns, or at
least that' s what I thought,
222
00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:29.200
because the light was for an instant. It was no longer possible for me
223
00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:32.519
to see him, since he disappeared
from that place. I didn' t
224
00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:37.880
realize when he moved or where he
had gone. I started getting more nervous
225
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:42.000
because I was afraid he' d
come to my booth. So it took
226
00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:45.640
a few minutes until I heard a
dry blow on the wall of the shed.
227
00:18:47.240 --> 00:18:51.920
A car hit the other side of
my booth. My civil protection partners
228
00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:56.680
immediately mobilized among themselves. My friend
was coming. It was a woman the
229
00:18:57.240 --> 00:19:02.160
driver was so strong that she got
stuck between the steering wheel and the seat.
230
00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:07.240
From where I was, I could
tell that she was still alive.
231
00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:11.960
I saw the speed of my partners
getting her out of her car, she
232
00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:17.279
started throwing up blood and moved her
head with me. His gaze was fixed
233
00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:21.519
in that direction. I could see
when his soul came out of his body.
234
00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:25.200
That' s when I realized I' d just lost my life.
235
00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:32.079
A mixture of feelings made me shudder. But it was worse when I saw
236
00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:36.720
the same man who had been watching
me, taking her by the hand and
237
00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:42.880
leaving with her. That made my
nerves explode completely. I couldn' t
238
00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:47.599
stay in the cabin anymore. I
went with my friend to tell him what
239
00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:51.480
had happened to me. He only
realized the woman' s death and was
240
00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:57.279
used to working with injured people.
It was also a low blow to his
241
00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:00.720
mood. He told me. He
told me that watching a person die was
242
00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:07.119
not pleasant at all. They did
everything they could to save their lives,
243
00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:11.920
but there were moments that it was
virtually impossible to help them, especially if
244
00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:15.720
the time of their death was already
marked. I told him about the man
245
00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:18.559
in black, but he didn'
t get to see anything. The rest
246
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:25.640
of the night we were affected by
the incident. The relevant authorities arrived and
247
00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:33.920
carried out the investigative assessments until responsibilities
were demarcated After a long time, the
248
00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:37.799
semen took the woman' s body. Later, the crane also did the
249
00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:42.839
same. In the morning there were
no traces of the accident. Except for
250
00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:47.960
the damage on the wall, I
left my shift with little encouragement, not
251
00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:52.640
only because I saw what happened to
the woman, but because that being was
252
00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:57.480
chasing me. I never knew if
it was for my soul. Before I
253
00:20:57.559 --> 00:21:02.480
got home, I went cor with
my grandmother. I told him everything that
254
00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:04.960
happened. I was going with the
idea of quitting work. I no longer
255
00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:11.359
wanted to see any more spiritual beings, let alone that man I assumed.
256
00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:15.039
It was about the demon. My
grandmother told me she was leaving work.
257
00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:19.039
For that reason, my visions were
not going to leave the place where I
258
00:21:19.079 --> 00:21:26.680
worked. The best thing was to
protect me every day showed me a doll
259
00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:30.920
she had made with dried branches of
medicinal herbs. He told me he prayed
260
00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:37.319
every day and did protective rituals.
He also explained to me that Budu'
261
00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:42.319
s traditional dolls serve not only to
make curses, but also to bless people.
262
00:21:42.599 --> 00:21:48.839
I could make my doll and bless
her to protect me. I continued
263
00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:52.720
to work at the collection booth with
the intention of being changed soon. I
264
00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:57.160
asked my immediate boss and soon they
gave me my change in the morning.
265
00:21:57.839 --> 00:22:03.200
I stopped seeing many spirits, as
it was the right place for them to
266
00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:08.440
be present during the night, because
with so many cars, accidents happen at
267
00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:15.279
all times. I' m protected
by my grandmother and being in the collection
268
00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:21.160
booth during the day changes a lot. The prospect for nothing is the same
269
00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:25.759
for the night as the day.
Darkness is influential for many beings from another
270
00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:38.680
world to become present. Story written
and adapted by Adriana Cuevas
1
00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:09.400
My air friend told me that in
the collection booth where she worked, they
2
00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:16.519
were soliciting staff, especially women.
I covered the profile they requested, so
3
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:21.120
I was encouraged just as my friend
told me, I got to work soon.
4
00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:25.879
The only thing I didn' t
like was that I would work at
5
00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:31.000
night. I had some fear of
that schedule, because ever since I was
6
00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:36.799
little I was afraid of the darkness, but there was reason to fear it,
7
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:40.079
as when I was a child I
saw shadows and people who had already
8
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:43.920
died. My brothers and my parents
never paid attention to what I was telling
9
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:49.479
them. They always took me for
crazy and I stopped telling them the reason
10
00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:54.719
for my fear of the night.
I usually fell asleep early. My grandmother
11
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:59.520
taught me to pray to my guardian
angel. She told me that all people
12
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:04.040
since we were born had only one
that most people didn' t know or
13
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:08.640
believe in that they didn' t
ask their angel to protect them, true
14
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:15.280
or not. I felt safer with
the image of the guardian angel at the
15
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:19.680
head of my bed, perhaps because
of the beliefs my grandmother taught me.
16
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:26.239
The angel protected me from the beings
I sometimes saw. I didn' t
17
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:30.159
like going to funerals either. I
saw the soul of the deceased standing at
18
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:34.439
the side of the bewildered coffin as
if I did not understand what was happening.
19
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:40.439
My grandmother was the only person who
believed me. He said that there
20
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:45.680
were two worlds, that of the
living to which we belonged and that of
21
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:49.359
the spirits on which were all the
souls that left this world. But you
22
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:55.719
had to be careful, because not
all souls transcended the beyond. There were
23
00:01:55.799 --> 00:02:00.359
others who were detained for various reasons, but in that or world of spirits
24
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:06.879
there were also demons against them.
We always had the protection of our guardian
25
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:12.240
angel. My mother was more skeptical. He said that there was no life
26
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:17.680
beyond death and that all my grandmother
told me was nonsense. She didn'
27
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:23.800
t believe him. I do,
because I was the one who suffered the
28
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:29.360
night terrors of seeing those beings move
around different parts of the street. Oh,
29
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:32.000
I knew what was happening to me. He told me if I didn
30
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:35.840
' t want to go to work
for anything. There was no problem.
31
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:39.719
It would be temporary, because with
the passage of time they would change my
32
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:44.319
shift. It had happened to her. The same is why I encouraged myself
33
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:50.479
to work. I started my first
night of work. I went to work
34
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.599
at ten o' clock tonight to
leave at six o' clock in the
35
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:58.639
morning. The first night I started
charging, I felt extremely nervous. The
36
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:04.439
toll zone was fully illuminated. There
were more workers in the other booths,
37
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:08.840
in addition to the security guards who
were in a separate cubicle, and that
38
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:15.199
' s why I was calming down
for two hours. Car traffic was fluid.
39
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:23.319
The supervisor was present to observe if
I performed my duties the first day
40
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:28.879
correctly. Something unusual happened one night. It was not temporary rain, but
41
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:34.199
that night a light rain began to
fall. We were all surprised that it
42
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:38.479
rained back then. Besides, very
few cars passed by. I had time
43
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:43.120
to talk to my shift partner at
a distance. I asked him if it
44
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:46.039
was normal for everything to be so
quiet. She said no. Usually there
45
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:52.599
were always cars. It was strange, maybe because of the unexpected rain.
46
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:55.879
There was some skid on the road
or a landslide. I started watching videos
47
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.439
on my cell phone. Suddenly I
saw in the distance several people walking on
48
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:06.840
one side of the road. As
they got closer. I could tell it
49
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:12.879
was a family. It was a
young couple with a boy and a girl.
50
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:16.959
I wanted to ask my partner if
it was normal to see people on
51
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:20.879
that side, but she wasn'
t in the cabin. I had gone
52
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:26.040
to the bathroom and for a coffee. When they saw me, they came
53
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:30.839
near where I was. The couple
was pale, while the children were crying.
54
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:36.120
The youngest girl had with her a
dirty doll hugged her tightly. The
55
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:41.759
man told me they had just had
an accident a mile back. They tried
56
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:45.680
to ask for help, but he
didn' t find his cell phone and,
57
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:48.040
since no one could help them,
they decided to walk. I hadn
58
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:53.720
' t grown up. They had
gone out with some blows, but nothing
59
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:58.240
serious. They just wanted someone to
support them to get their car because it
60
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:01.000
hadn' t turned on. Perhaps
at that time it was not possible,
61
00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:05.680
but to be helped to go to
the nearest village so that they could rest.
62
00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:12.120
The next day I could take the
necessary steps to go. To pick
63
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:16.519
him up, I pointed out where
the paramedics were and the roadside area there
64
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:20.680
were going to support them. I
asked him to calm down because I noticed
65
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:25.959
the man' s hand shaking in
the distance. I saw the lights from
66
00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:30.040
several cars, I couldn' t
accompany them to the security booth. I
67
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:33.319
saw when they walked away and went
to the place I told them when a
68
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:36.600
car arrived. The first thing I
asked him was how the accident was.
69
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:43.480
The driver of the car told me
what accident I was talking about. I
70
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:47.199
told him that the one that just
happened a moment ago in the car that
71
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:51.319
came a family. The man got
me confused, I gave him his ticket
72
00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:56.839
and he left. I couldn'
t get away from my place of work
73
00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:00.720
anymore because the cars kept paying until
the shift was over. I walked up
74
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:06.360
to the safe house looking for the
family. I asked the paramedic where the
75
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:11.839
young couple with two little ones was. The boy told me that no one
76
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:15.600
had come and that it had been
a very quiet night. I told him
77
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:20.720
my meeting with the family and that
they would come here. The paramedic told
78
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:26.079
me I had to get some rest. Not sleeping all night was not good
79
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:31.759
for mental health. The safest thing
was that I imagined that family. There
80
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:39.600
was no car accident report. All
calls arrived at the paramedic headquarters. I
81
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:44.000
wasn' t wrong, I didn' t say anything anymore. I got
82
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:48.079
confused. From there. I knew
I had the ability to see spirits before,
83
00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:53.120
but they were all isolated. They
were like shadows in the dark.
84
00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:56.800
I' ve never talked to anyone
before, like I did this time.
85
00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:02.439
The transport arrived and my substitute comparison
was already in the cabin. I had
86
00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:09.079
to retire from the workplace. During
the journey I went thinking about that family
87
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:15.759
what happened and why they wandered in
this world. Before I went to rest,
88
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:18.720
I went to my grandmother' s
house to tell her what had happened
89
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:25.879
to me. She was already awake
I found her watering her plants and feeding
90
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:30.040
the chickens. As soon as he
saw me, he asked me what was
91
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:32.120
wrong with me. My face was
ratting me out. I told him everything
92
00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:36.079
that happened. My grandmother listened attentively
to me. When I finished, he
93
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:42.160
told me that not all people when
they died left this world immediately. Many
94
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:46.560
were stuck for different reasons. She
asked me to accompany her inside the house.
95
00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:53.800
He gave me a branch of dried
rosemary and lit it. He told
96
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:57.720
me to carry Romero' s ashes
with me all the time. When I
97
00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:01.439
saw one of the beings that no
longer belonged to this world, To water
98
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:05.120
Romero' s ash in the place
where one of them was found for the
99
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:11.120
properties that had its aroma, it
served to show the way to him beyond.
100
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:16.720
I thanked my grandmother for the favor. I put Romero' s ash
101
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:20.399
in a paper bag to always carry
with me. I got to sleep at
102
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:26.480
my place right away. I fell
into a deep sleep in which I saw
103
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:31.480
that family again walking down the road, but on this occasion they were faceless,
104
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:37.960
Their factions did not exist. I
woke up scared. I didn'
105
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:41.320
t know why I saw them that
way, but it was all product of
106
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:48.960
my unconscious as the days passed.
Everything was dissipating, especially since I did
107
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:54.559
not have a similar situation again until
one day another arrived for a doctor.
108
00:08:54.919 --> 00:09:00.840
He had been changed from a collection
booth. When he came back and we
109
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:03.480
made a very good friendship. I
lived in a village near mine. One
110
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:09.240
day while we were on our way
back, I asked him if he knew
111
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:11.519
anything about the family, what was
going on walking on the road. He
112
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:16.840
stared at me for a moment I
thought he was going to make fun of
113
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:20.360
me. He was very respectful.
He told me he saw them, too.
114
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:26.360
Most of his colleagues didn' t
believe him. They told him I
115
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:31.360
imagined things, but he was sure
to have seen them. He stopped seeing
116
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:35.879
them until after a year. Again
it was the same situation. A young
117
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:41.279
couple with their two little ones walking
down the fence. On this occasion he
118
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:45.559
no longer told them anything, he
looked at them with his lost gaze.
119
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:50.960
My partner told me that the whole
family most likely died in a car accident
120
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:56.279
and each year they remembered the same
date, so they only saw each other
121
00:09:56.360 --> 00:10:00.759
once a year, which he didn' t understand where they were the rest
122
00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:05.600
of the year. That question was
left unanswered, as there was no way
123
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:11.360
to answer it. It was a
world unknown to us. After two months
124
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:16.799
another strange fact happened. There were
no cars on that occasion. It was
125
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:22.919
strange, as it was usually a
favorite time for vacationers. My partner approached
126
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:28.240
my cabin for everyone. It was
an exceptional fact. Another of my companions
127
00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:33.879
closed her booth for a moment to
eat. A little while chatting with my
128
00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:37.720
friend, we began to hear the
murmur of several people. I asked him
129
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:41.919
if he would listen to them.
He nodded where the voices came from.
130
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:48.000
In the distance I came to distinguish
a group of people who came together,
131
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:52.919
all with their hands together. Praying
I looked at my friend, he was
132
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:56.320
watching them, too. People didn' t stop to ask anything. They
133
00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:01.639
were followed by the road' s
narrowing. They passed the security guard very
134
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:07.720
closely on the side of the civil
protection cubicle. For a moment I thought
135
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:13.480
they were going to be stopped,
as it was not safe for them to
136
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:18.519
walk at night on the road could
be attacked by a cargo truck. Civil
137
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:24.919
protection partners were unaware of the presence
of the people. They kept talking and
138
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:28.360
drinking their coffee. I looked at
my friend. We both thought the same
139
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:33.919
thing without saying anything. We followed
the people until we lost sight of them.
140
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:39.600
A few minutes later a car arrived
to pay its toll. The driver
141
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:43.960
looked nervous and upset. He told
me there was an unfortunate accident back there.
142
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:50.840
A heavy cargo truck had hit a
passenger bus. The crash was so
143
00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:56.799
strong that the bus hit a hill, there were many screams and lamentations until
144
00:11:56.200 --> 00:12:01.600
everything was absolutely silent. They closed
for a while the road where the necessary
145
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:07.039
steps were taken so as not to
put the other drivers at risk. That
146
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:11.919
' s why they didn' t
drive by. Then, a lot of
147
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:16.639
car lights started to look at each
other. They had already allowed the passage.
148
00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:20.519
My partner noticed everything he' d
stayed in the cabin. He came
149
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:26.919
up to tell me that what we
saw were the deceased people who followed his
150
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:31.600
path. It was a little comforting
to know that my friend could also see
151
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:33.840
the same thing as me. That
didn' t mean she was calm.
152
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:41.759
I had never been used to seeing
spirits and fewer people who had just passed
153
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:46.320
away. Seeing appearances of already deceased
people was not easy to overcome. When
154
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:52.399
it happened, I was nervous about
any sound or knock on the glass to
155
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:58.240
get my attention. I was scared
to death, I thought it was some
156
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:03.799
of the wandering spirits. I began
to feel calm because the paranormal events no
157
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:09.399
longer gave way. I thought that
maybe I didn' t have the ability
158
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:13.840
to perceive them anymore or that there
weren' t so many accidents anymore,
159
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:16.440
but it didn' t happen as
I thought. Rainstorm' s here.
160
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:22.720
It was funny, but when it
rained harder, cars almost didn' t
161
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:26.240
get to the booth from inside the
cabin. The feeling of seeing the dark
162
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:33.279
sky illuminated with lightning was not good. On that occasion. It all began
163
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:37.759
with a strong wind that moved the
containment barriers. There was even one that
164
00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:43.159
broke. It was at that time
that there came a heavy rain that barely
165
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:50.279
allowed for visibility at very short distances
only managed to distinguish the headlights from the
166
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:54.919
cars when they were already very close. That time a black cart came in
167
00:13:56.039 --> 00:14:01.720
with the polarized glass. The driver
under the window glass could see a man
168
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:07.360
about forty years old. He reached
out to give me the money. Just
169
00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:11.559
when I took it, he grabbed
my hand so hard that I couldn'
170
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:16.120
t let go. I felt a
strange feeling. The man was very cold.
171
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:22.639
I understood because the temperature had dropped
drastically. With the storm, I
172
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:24.679
tried to get away without getting there. That' s when I asked him
173
00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:30.399
to let go. The man immediately
released my hand. At the same time
174
00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:33.960
he smiled and stared at me.
I thought this was another person who was
175
00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:39.360
trying to persuade me to go out
with her or who wanted me to smile,
176
00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:46.080
as there were people who were often
beyond the limits of work being invasive.
177
00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:50.639
I didn' t take it seriously
as soon as I gave him his
178
00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:56.600
ticket, the man left and I
was quieter, but I heard a whisper
179
00:14:56.679 --> 00:15:01.360
that made me jump out of my
seat. I clearly heard when he told
180
00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:05.240
me he was looking for you and
I found you. I did not understand
181
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:09.960
the meaning of those words or where
they came from. In addition, my
182
00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:16.639
cabin began to be filled with a
white steamer that prevented me from being visible
183
00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:20.360
with my hand cleaning the glass without
being able to see outwards. The smell
184
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:24.919
began to be unpleasant. I wanted
to open the door to get out of
185
00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:28.399
the cabin, but I didn'
t make it. The door was locked
186
00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:35.039
like outside, someone was stopping her. Again I heard the same murmur behind
187
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:39.399
me, but when I turned around
I couldn' t see anyone. A
188
00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:43.759
few minutes later, it all faded
away. The steam has spread and I
189
00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:50.120
can open the door. When I
went outside, I could breathe. I
190
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:54.600
felt like I was going to suffocate
inside the cabin. I was out for
191
00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:58.519
a few seconds until I recovered a
little bit. I looked around to see
192
00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:04.360
who had noticed what happened to me, but everything was normal. My companions
193
00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:10.519
were still tending to the vehicles.
The security guard wasn' t even in
194
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:15.559
his rightful place. I thought about
going with my friend to the civil protection
195
00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:21.480
cubicle, but several cars started to
form in the lane that I was supposed
196
00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:25.679
to attend. Trembled by fear,
he attended to the car he was waiting
197
00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:30.320
for. I didn' t know
what it would look like, because the
198
00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:33.759
woman driving asked me if I was
okay. I wanted to say no,
199
00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:37.960
something strange was behind me, but
I couldn' t do it. I
200
00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:42.480
replied that everything was fine, only
tiredness and he not sleeping had affected me.
201
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:48.039
I continued to attend to the drivers
with fear that I would again reach
202
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:53.440
that man in a black car,
because surely he was the one who had
203
00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:57.799
provoked everything. As I was charging
the toll, I could see in the
204
00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:00.960
rain the silhouette of a man dressed
in black or suit. It was not
205
00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:06.599
possible to see it easily, because
one car was behind the other. The
206
00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:12.079
line had become long, but that
man kept looking where I was. I
207
00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:15.319
wanted to go with my friend,
but I couldn' t leave the cabin
208
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:21.279
alone. It was part of the
bans we had when we had a long
209
00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:26.920
line of cars. At every moment
I felt more restless because that elegantly dressed
210
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:30.839
figure was not leaving. Besides,
what he told me filled me with fear.
211
00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:36.039
I didn' t know why he
was looking for me or what he
212
00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:40.920
intended to do. When I met
each moment, I turned to the same
213
00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:44.960
place and he didn' t leave. There was a crucial moment when my
214
00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:49.240
friend came out of his civil protection
cubicle and walked with me. The rain
215
00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:56.920
was still lingering, but he had
no objection to getting wet as if he
216
00:17:56.240 --> 00:18:00.559
felt something or realized what was happening
to me. He asked me if I
217
00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:04.680
was okay. I said no,
and I turned to the place where the
218
00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:11.039
man in black was. I couldn' t tell you anything else because the
219
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:15.079
cars kept coming. The storm wasn' t that strong anymore, but still
220
00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:21.519
the lightning lit up space for seconds. That' s when I saw that
221
00:18:21.599 --> 00:18:25.640
man with some horns, or at
least that' s what I thought,
222
00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:29.200
because the light was for an instant. It was no longer possible for me
223
00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:32.519
to see him, since he disappeared
from that place. I didn' t
224
00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:37.880
realize when he moved or where he
had gone. I started getting more nervous
225
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:42.000
because I was afraid he' d
come to my booth. So it took
226
00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:45.640
a few minutes until I heard a
dry blow on the wall of the shed.
227
00:18:47.240 --> 00:18:51.920
A car hit the other side of
my booth. My civil protection partners
228
00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:56.680
immediately mobilized among themselves. My friend
was coming. It was a woman the
229
00:18:57.240 --> 00:19:02.160
driver was so strong that she got
stuck between the steering wheel and the seat.
230
00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:07.240
From where I was, I could
tell that she was still alive.
231
00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:11.960
I saw the speed of my partners
getting her out of her car, she
232
00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:17.279
started throwing up blood and moved her
head with me. His gaze was fixed
233
00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:21.519
in that direction. I could see
when his soul came out of his body.
234
00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:25.200
That' s when I realized I' d just lost my life.
235
00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:32.079
A mixture of feelings made me shudder. But it was worse when I saw
236
00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:36.720
the same man who had been watching
me, taking her by the hand and
237
00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:42.880
leaving with her. That made my
nerves explode completely. I couldn' t
238
00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:47.599
stay in the cabin anymore. I
went with my friend to tell him what
239
00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:51.480
had happened to me. He only
realized the woman' s death and was
240
00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:57.279
used to working with injured people.
It was also a low blow to his
241
00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:00.720
mood. He told me. He
told me that watching a person die was
242
00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:07.119
not pleasant at all. They did
everything they could to save their lives,
243
00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:11.920
but there were moments that it was
virtually impossible to help them, especially if
244
00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:15.720
the time of their death was already
marked. I told him about the man
245
00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:18.559
in black, but he didn'
t get to see anything. The rest
246
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:25.640
of the night we were affected by
the incident. The relevant authorities arrived and
247
00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:33.920
carried out the investigative assessments until responsibilities
were demarcated After a long time, the
248
00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:37.799
semen took the woman' s body. Later, the crane also did the
249
00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:42.839
same. In the morning there were
no traces of the accident. Except for
250
00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:47.960
the damage on the wall, I
left my shift with little encouragement, not
251
00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:52.640
only because I saw what happened to
the woman, but because that being was
252
00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:57.480
chasing me. I never knew if
it was for my soul. Before I
253
00:20:57.559 --> 00:21:02.480
got home, I went cor with
my grandmother. I told him everything that
254
00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:04.960
happened. I was going with the
idea of quitting work. I no longer
255
00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:11.359
wanted to see any more spiritual beings, let alone that man I assumed.
256
00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:15.039
It was about the demon. My
grandmother told me she was leaving work.
257
00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:19.039
For that reason, my visions were
not going to leave the place where I
258
00:21:19.079 --> 00:21:26.680
worked. The best thing was to
protect me every day showed me a doll
259
00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:30.920
she had made with dried branches of
medicinal herbs. He told me he prayed
260
00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:37.319
every day and did protective rituals.
He also explained to me that Budu'
261
00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:42.319
s traditional dolls serve not only to
make curses, but also to bless people.
262
00:21:42.599 --> 00:21:48.839
I could make my doll and bless
her to protect me. I continued
263
00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:52.720
to work at the collection booth with
the intention of being changed soon. I
264
00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:57.160
asked my immediate boss and soon they
gave me my change in the morning.
265
00:21:57.839 --> 00:22:03.200
I stopped seeing many spirits, as
it was the right place for them to
266
00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:08.440
be present during the night, because
with so many cars, accidents happen at
267
00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:15.279
all times. I' m protected
by my grandmother and being in the collection
268
00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:21.160
booth during the day changes a lot. The prospect for nothing is the same
269
00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:25.759
for the night as the day.
Darkness is influential for many beings from another
