1
00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:11.439
The night of the Goblin. I' m originally from a fishing village in

2
00:00:11.439 --> 00:00:15.519
Chile. My land is full of
mysteries, although most of the world knows

3
00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:20.480
only the mystery of Frenchip Island itself
that we live in Chile we know that

4
00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:25.480
it is true that it exists,
but it is inaccessible. However, this

5
00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:30.000
is not the subject of history that
I wish to share with you today,

6
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:35.039
but something as terrible as it is
incredible, and it is no other my

7
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:38.439
intention that he should vent my mind
from the nightmare that I experienced last year.

8
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:43.000
We live in a coastal town.
My house is closer to a freshwater

9
00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:49.399
river where salmon are usually fished.
The place is beautiful, a little cold,

10
00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:54.640
but in winter the views are beautiful. During the summer of last year

11
00:00:55.159 --> 00:01:00.000
we suffered from several floods that were
not because my father built a fairly high

12
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:03.719
empty foundation and put under tunnels for
the water to run towards the coast.

13
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:10.239
We wouldn' t have survived.
Once everything was in peace and quiet,

14
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:15.560
the rain stopped and we had two
days of sunshine. On the third day,

15
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:21.719
however, the clouds came together again
in the sky, darkening everything seemed

16
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:25.200
to be at night. When it
was four o' clock in the afternoon,

17
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:30.280
thunder resounded in the distance announcing a
coming storm. My family and I

18
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:36.400
decided to take refuge at home,
securing the windows and doors, before what

19
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:41.599
could be an intense new rain.
The storm started hard. The wind was

20
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:47.480
beating the walls of our house and
the rain was falling in torrents the thunder

21
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:52.120
was rumbling with an intensity that made
the ground vibrate. Although we had already

22
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:57.959
experienced intense rains, this storm seemed
to have a peculiar energy, something unusual

23
00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:02.280
that we could not identify. In
the midst of the storm, while we

24
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:07.560
were all gathered in the room,
we heard a strange sound, a soft,

25
00:02:07.800 --> 00:02:12.759
sharp murmur that intermingled with the roar
of wind and rain. My parents

26
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:17.800
exchanged worried looks, but none of
us dared to go out to investigate.

27
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:23.919
The feeling that something was wrong took
over the atmosphere of the house. I

28
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:29.560
don' t know, but I
believe that the electrical energy contained in the

29
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:34.960
rays can open portals in our dimension, allowing entry to etheric beings that otherwise

30
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:38.479
would not be able to materialize.
And that occasion, as the storm passed

31
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:43.919
at night, we heard as if
a little boat were trying to get out

32
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:47.879
of the water and seconds later,
someone or something was knocking at our door.

33
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:52.960
My father opened the door, but
there was no one standing at the

34
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:58.199
entrance to our house, although when
my father returned he said he had heard

35
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:01.560
a small voice speaking in a strange
language, but, moreover, he tried

36
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:06.080
to locate the place where this voice
came from. He couldn' t find

37
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:08.800
anyone, because it was like someone
invisible was talking to him head- on.

38
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:13.560
I, at the time, mocked
my father, because I didn'

39
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:15.919
t believe him anymore, I didn' t even understand what he meant.

40
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:22.439
That night they put us all out
to take the water out of the flooded

41
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:27.960
courtyard then, under a laundry room. Next to the washing machine, I

42
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:31.919
heard something move, thinking it was
a rat or mouse, I took a

43
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:37.479
broom and threw a hit underneath.
Then something pulled my broom so hard that

44
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:42.599
I ended up falling to the ground
soaking. When I was on the floor,

45
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:47.360
I saw a little creature bending over
my head, sketching a mocking smile

46
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:52.319
and immediately threw a laugh in such
a dark tone that I began to tremble.

47
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:55.599
I stood and ran inside my house. My father and sister saw me

48
00:03:55.719 --> 00:04:00.879
and asked me what was going on
and how nervous I was. He couldn

49
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:05.039
' t articulate any words. I
just told them stuttering that I saw a

50
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:10.800
little creature under the sink, right
next to the washing machine. My father

51
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:15.919
made a mockery of me and then
showed some concern. What happened immediately was

52
00:04:15.480 --> 00:04:19.079
that he accompanied me to the place
where I told him I had seen the

53
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:25.720
little creature, but when we arrived
there we found no trace of the strange

54
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:30.720
entity. My father tried to calm
me down by saying it was probably just

55
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:34.439
my imagination. Playing a bad game
because of the stress of the storm.

56
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:40.920
Although I tried to convince them of
what I had seen, we decided to

57
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:45.959
put the incident aside and continue with
our cleaning tasks. The night was advancing

58
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:50.360
and the atmosphere in the house became
heavier. As it got dark. We

59
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:55.920
listened again to that soft, sharp
murmur that mingled with the sounds of the

60
00:04:56.040 --> 00:05:01.639
storm. This time we were all
aware of it, the feeling of being

61
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:08.000
observed invaded us and the moods in
the house were tense. We decided to

62
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:13.839
close all the lights and lie down
early, trying to ignore the strange presence

63
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:17.839
that seemed to inhabit our home.
While I was in my room trying to

64
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:24.560
fall asleep, I heard laughter,
softness and murmurs coming from my desk,

65
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:29.199
I got up, lit my lamp
and then headed to the hallway, because

66
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:33.160
on my desk I saw nothing in
that. I heard my sister screaming,

67
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:39.639
so I ran to her room.
As soon as I came in, I

68
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:42.600
turned on the light and saw how
this goblin was on it. He had

69
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:46.240
a long tongue and he was spitting
a lot out of his mouth. At

70
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:49.759
first I thought he was hairy,
but after seeing him carefully, I realized

71
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:54.319
that the hairs on his body were
part of the outfit he was wearing.

72
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:58.279
The only thing I could think of
was taking a baseball bat that my sister

73
00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:01.839
had hanging by the door and I
immediately hit the little spawn, but he

74
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:09.920
dodged. The blow jumped into his
window and then evaporated as if it were

75
00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:14.000
made of smoke. I hugged my
sister, who was so scared, I

76
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:16.800
felt like I was shaking with fear. He told me that the creature tried

77
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:23.160
to hurt him, that he felt
like he was salivating while saying words he

78
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:26.199
didn' t understand, because he
spoke in a strange language. We went

79
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:30.040
to my father' s room,
who was snoring loudly. When we woke

80
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:33.879
him up, he got pretty serious
and told us that the creature, which

81
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:38.959
we had seen was nothing but a
goblin and that the only way we could

82
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:45.160
drive him away was chilly chance and
leave the house closed. We spent the

83
00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:48.240
rest of the night in my father' s room, listening to that creature

84
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:53.360
running down the halls of the house. We also heard how he threw the

85
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:57.680
paintings to the ground. The next
morning we found the house turned upside down.

86
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:01.160
Everything was out of order. My
father set us clean while he lit

87
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:08.399
a fire in the garden. Then
he pulled out a grill and threw several

88
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:12.160
dried chilies that he pulled out of
the cupboard. We started coughing, so

89
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:15.920
my father told us to go to
the park or to the house of an

90
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:21.000
aunt who lived nearby. We couldn' t go to the park, because

91
00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:27.079
of the floods. Government workers were
cleaning and repairing some wrecks, so we

92
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:31.399
stayed on a bench, in a
square. While we were in the square,

93
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:38.639
my sister and I shared our experiences
the night before. We were both

94
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:44.279
frightened and confused by the presence of
that malevolent goblin in our house. At

95
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:47.480
the same time, we wonder about
the connection between the storm and the appearance

96
00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:53.600
of this creature. When we got
back to the house, my father looked

97
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:58.279
worried. He was smoking, which
he didn' t do unless some situation

98
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:01.720
exalted him. My father told us
that he had faced the leprechaun, whom

99
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:05.639
he failed to overcome, because being
a creature that did not belong to our

100
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:11.360
plane of existence, it could disappear
and materialize elsewhere. And the thing that

101
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:15.720
worried him the most was that being
told him that I would catch my sister

102
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:18.639
and take her to her den.
He didn' t know what to do

103
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:24.439
and that made him feel powerless.
All we did was move temporarily to my

104
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:30.240
aunt' s house, who kept
several crucifixes and religious images. There we

105
00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:33.639
felt calm, but every time we
went back to my house, we found

106
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:39.600
her lying down. In addition to
the fact that we began to notice a

107
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:45.519
certain aroma of stagnant water, my
aunt got a sorcerer to clean the house

108
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:50.480
using roots, herbs and prayers.
He performed a sort of purification ritual to

109
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:54.559
ward off any evil presence. Meanwhile, we stayed at my aunt' s

110
00:08:54.679 --> 00:09:01.519
house trying to find a solution to
this problem. The Witch explained to us

111
00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:07.480
that goblins in popular mythology and beliefs
are naughty beings that can cause problems for

112
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:13.960
people. Some traditions suggest that goblins
can be expelled with certain rituals or through

113
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:20.440
the intervention of individuals with spiritual abilities. After the Witch performed his rituals in

114
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:26.879
our house, we returned cautiously.
The atmosphere seemed to have changed and the

115
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:30.559
smell of stagnant water. He'
s gone. My father, though still

116
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:35.080
concerned, was grateful for any solution
that could bring peace to our family.

117
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:41.799
The weeks passed and the nights were
quiet and quiet again, as time passed.

118
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:48.399
The intensity of the experience faded away, but the memory of that night

119
00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:52.879
and the goblin was always present in
our minds. We decided not to return

120
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:58.639
to the coastal house, sold it
and moved to another place away from that

121
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:03.879
memory or reindeer related to the presence
of that ethereal being. Although life followed

122
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:07.759
its course, experience left us with
a sense of humility and respect for the

123
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:13.799
unknown, reminding us that in certain
places and moments, the barriers between worlds

124
00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:22.240
can become thinner, allowing the entry
of entities that escape our understanding. The

125
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:26.679
history of the night of the goblin
became a local legend in our ancient village,

126
00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:30.720
reminding us all that, even in
the most beautiful and quiet places,

127
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:35.639
mysteries that defy logic and reason can
be hidden and that we were not the

128
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:43.399
only family that reported having heard and
seen these beings. Some neighbors swore that

129
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:50.759
these creatures killed their dogs and others
reported the disappearance of a baby. Although

130
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:54.480
we have not noticed anything strange during
this year, sometimes I am afraid to

131
00:10:54.519 --> 00:11:07.799
meet these creatures again. They come
from the woods. My grandfather was of

132
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:13.039
Irish origin. He came to live
in Mexico shortly after his father, my

133
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:16.720
great- grandfather, got into trouble
in the village from which they originated as

134
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:20.159
children. We loved going to his
house, which he had next to the

135
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:26.440
queen' s forest in tonalá Jalisco. Unfortunately, he passed away a couple

136
00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:31.559
of years ago. He was an
encyclopedia of living accounts of Among all his

137
00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:35.279
stories, there is one that I
wish to share today, for it has

138
00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:39.639
seemed most frightening to me. My
grandfather, his name was Patrick, was

139
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:43.960
from a county whose name I don' t remember, but it was located

140
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:46.679
in Northern Ireland. According to his
words, they lived a season in a

141
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:52.840
cabin deep in the forest, this
because there were certain political conflicts in which

142
00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:56.440
my great- grandfather was intruded.
I cannot give much detail of the conflict

143
00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:01.559
in question, for my grandfather never
gave such impo these events in his accounts.

144
00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:05.679
The point is, my grandfather Patrick
used to play with his brother Lyam

145
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:11.519
in a clearing deep in the woods. In those years his fun was outdoors.

146
00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:16.120
They played very few board games and
had no dolls. His mother used

147
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:22.679
to warn them to be careful of
any sign of goblins, for according to

148
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:24.279
Irish legends, not all were good. Despite what is believed today, leprechauns

149
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:30.080
were leprechauns who hated human beings,
especially children, which was why they were

150
00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:33.000
hunted down or tricked into a ravine
where they were thrown away and later stolen

151
00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:43.240
their clothes. My grandfather said that
as children they were quite reckless and that,

152
00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:48.240
although they were afraid of these creatures, they knew how to recognize them,

153
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:54.279
since their mother told them that the
way to identify them was because they

154
00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:58.279
wore red jackets. On March 17, they played on a stream with a

155
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:03.159
boat made with a salt can and
a sheet of paper as sail. They

156
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:07.559
were very entertaining following their little boat
upstream, when suddenly they heard heartbreaking screams.

157
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:15.320
As it was common to find people
wounded along the forest, they walked

158
00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:20.679
stealthy to see who it was.
Approaching came as far as they saw a

159
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:26.159
metal trap that hunters used to set
up to catch Liebres. Then they saw

160
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:30.960
who seemed to be a little boy. He had a leg trapped by the

161
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:33.919
metal teeth of the trap. As
they came closer, they realized that his

162
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:39.519
face was that of an old man, so his facial features did not correspond

163
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:43.559
to those of a child. Lyam
came too close to the little man who,

164
00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:46.720
as soon as he saw him,
began to whine. And pleading for

165
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:50.600
his release, for if they did
not, he would immediately kill them and

166
00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:56.039
steal his soul. Patrick warned Lyam
to stay away from that man, for

167
00:13:56.039 --> 00:14:01.399
he distinguished that he was wearing a
crimson jacket and remembering what his mother told

168
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:07.200
them about the leprechauns, prechaun how
they hated the children. At that time,

169
00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:11.519
the goblin again asked them to let
him go this time begging, and

170
00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:16.080
if they did, he would take
them to a well where he kept millions

171
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:20.399
of toys that he had stolen throughout
his life from rich children who misbehaved.

172
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:24.480
Liam, who was smaller and naïve, believed the leprechaun and immediately looked for

173
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:30.120
a way to remove the mechanism from
the trap. Patrick, on the other

174
00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:35.240
hand, asked him to leave and
let that monstrous man be caught Masliam did

175
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:39.919
not obey and, on the contrary, told Patrick that if he so wished,

176
00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:43.679
he could go home. That'
s how you' d get more

177
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:46.240
toys. Patrick told him that he
would go tell his mother what was happening

178
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:54.519
and if he so wished, he
could keep that devilish creature. Then Liam

179
00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:58.159
was left alone. He argued with
himself whether or not to release the Goblin.

180
00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:03.639
The little continuous being loved with his
supplications, alternating between threats and promises

181
00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:07.600
of riches. The tension in the
air was palpable and Patrick insisted that they

182
00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:13.799
should move away before something bad happened. Suddenly, the goblin changed his tone

183
00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:20.399
and began whispering toy names, mentioning
specific details about the children they belonged to

184
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:26.000
This puzzled Patrick, who began to
wonder if the goblin really had access to

185
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:31.679
some kind of stolen treasure. But
as his fear was greater, he kicked

186
00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:39.279
the creature in the face and ran
out to the cabin. Patrick said he

187
00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:43.960
had come a long way, running
when he got remorse and fear of leaving

188
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:50.879
his younger brother alone with that creature. Then he returned to his steps,

189
00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:56.159
speeding up the pace more and more, because he was very afraid that the

190
00:15:56.159 --> 00:16:00.000
worst would happen. As I walked, I felt the path become darker and

191
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:06.200
the trees thicker. Besides he heard
laughter between the branches, he knew it

192
00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:11.840
was not just a leprechaun, but
several who walked around. When he got

193
00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:15.799
to the place where the Goblin had
been. All that was left was the

194
00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:18.279
deactivated trap and Lyan' s fingerprints
showing how he walked away. Heading south.

195
00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:23.720
Patrick, who was very skilled in
following traces, as his father carried

196
00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:29.960
him hunting as many as he could, did not find it difficult to distinguish

197
00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:33.360
the footprints between the dry leaves.
Following the trail, he reached a cave

198
00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:38.879
where the water was born. Then
he found Patrick, next to that demonic

199
00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:42.440
Goblin, who was about to throw
him into a well by the cave,

200
00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:48.679
but Patrick quickly grabbed his brother from
the jacket, pulling him towards him.

201
00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:53.240
He took it from the Goblin and
he, showing a sinister look with his

202
00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:57.799
eyes injected into blood, threw a
bite at Patrick and plucked a piece of

203
00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:03.679
meat from his arm and made him
laugh. He told them that they would

204
00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:07.640
not leave that forest alive and that, in case they escaped, he had

205
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:11.039
already tasted the taste of his flesh
and that thanks to this he would know

206
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:15.079
where to look for them, which
was not only several of them coming from

207
00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:18.720
the forest. Patrick, crying for
the pain but full of adrenaline, took

208
00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:22.559
his brother' s arm and,
after kicking the leprechaun in a red jacket,

209
00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:29.920
ran in a hurry. After a
couple of miles they met a lumberjack

210
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:36.000
who was told what happened and asked
for help. The lumberjack carried with him

211
00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:41.200
a medallion with the image of Saint
Patrick. He accompanied them to his cabin.

212
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:45.400
Once there, the mother of the
children offered something to drink to the

213
00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:49.119
lumberjack, who, for his kindness, gave them his medallion, not without

214
00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:55.480
first warning the children that they should
approach the water eye, for that place

215
00:17:55.559 --> 00:17:59.960
was often plagued with goblins and although
they did not always let themselves be seen,

216
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:04.559
they could not resist the presence of
children. Patrick began to overwhelm himself

217
00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:10.079
with the pain in the arm wound, as he quickly began to become infected.

218
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:12.799
His mother cured him as best she
could, but as a result of

219
00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:18.359
that bite he suffered a fever.
The rest of the week. He said

220
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:22.519
he screamed every night they come from
the woods. He said that in his

221
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:27.319
dreams he saw a group of leprechaun
coming to the cabin to take Iam,

222
00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:32.519
while he, weakened by the fever, could do nothing to save him.

223
00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:40.000
The worst of all was to really
contemplate the face of these beings, to

224
00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:45.400
listen to their voices in their native
language was something maddening, as it was

225
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:48.599
not compared to anything I had heard
before. It was a blasphemous sound that

226
00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:52.720
did not resemble either the grunt of
a wild beast or the voice of a

227
00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:59.200
child. It lasted more than a
week with fever and when he finally managed

228
00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:03.200
to recover, he did so to
discover that not everything in his dreams It

229
00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:07.359
was fantasy, as the tragedy lay
in the cabin. Liam was gone,

230
00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:15.279
panicking and still not recovering 100%. Patrick asked his mother for the medallion

231
00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:18.200
of Saint Patrick, because with him
he would manage to save his brother,

232
00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:23.799
but his mother told him that he
no longer had any case, that already

233
00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:29.279
several experienced loggers were tracking the area
in search of the child. Lyan'

234
00:19:29.359 --> 00:19:33.519
s disappearance plunged the family into despair. Patrick, still weak by the fever

235
00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:38.440
and bite of the goblin, felt
guilty and tormented by the dreams that predicted

236
00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:44.519
the tragedy. Despite the efforts of
the loggers and the community, Lyan'

237
00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:51.079
s search was unsuccessful. Patrick,
obsessed with the idea that the goblins were

238
00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:56.400
behind his brother' s disappearance,
decided to undertake his own search. Convinced

239
00:19:56.519 --> 00:20:02.359
that St Patrick' s Medallion was
the key to protecting himself, He ventured

240
00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:06.759
back into the forest, determined to
find Lyam and face the magical creatures.

241
00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:12.799
Guided by the nightmares and the persistent
voice he was crying out for came from

242
00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:18.400
the forest, Patrick delved into the
darkness of the forest, where the laughter

243
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:21.519
of the goblins resounded among the trees. His path led him to the water

244
00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:26.920
eye mentioned by the woodman, a
mystical place surrounded by legends about the connection

245
00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:32.559
between the human world and the Kingdom
of the Goblins. Unfortunately, this story

246
00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:36.839
does not end with an end.
Happy Patrick did not find his brother,

247
00:20:36.839 --> 00:20:40.160
but if he heard his voice at
the bottom of the water eye, so

248
00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:44.319
hoping to find his brother, he
went immediately to that place, but gradually

249
00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:48.160
materialized on a rock the goblin carrying
a red sweater that belonged to Lyam.

250
00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:56.599
Patrick put on the medallion, cursed
the leprechaun, and immediately recited a prayer

251
00:20:56.640 --> 00:20:59.960
he learned in a book of his
mother' s prayers. I' ve

252
00:20:59.960 --> 00:21:03.680
given you the prayer. The creature
began to twist and cast curses in a

253
00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:10.599
horrible language. In the end he
ended up fading, leaving only the sweater

254
00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:14.400
that belonged to Lyam. Although the
loggers stopped looking for Liam, they thought

255
00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:18.359
the boy had fallen into a very
deep well, which was virtually impossible to

256
00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:22.759
get down and get back out.
But Patrick, my grandfather, used to

257
00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:27.839
say that he was sure that those
goblins took his brother, being his only

258
00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:40.640
consolation to think that he managed to
banish the elves from next door forever.

259
00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:48.559
As a child, he lived in
a house of Infonavit in a colony near

260
00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:53.119
the basilica of Zapopan. It was
one of those new constructions that shared walls

261
00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:59.240
with each other, besides being made
of cheap and fragile materials. Even as

262
00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:03.559
we do, we live more than
ten years in a neighborhood room. That

263
00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:07.680
house seemed like a palace to us. They were totally new houses and at

264
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:11.759
first we only had two neighbors.
As time went by, all the houses

265
00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:15.480
were occupied. The house next door
was bought by a young couple who only

266
00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:21.519
lived there about a year and a
half. They used to have quite a

267
00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:26.079
lot of trouble because the husband was
an alcoholic and every drunkenness was a reason

268
00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:30.440
to fight as little as I knew
them were quite nice, if not because

269
00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:33.519
we lived on one side. We' d never have imagined they were in

270
00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:37.319
trouble. The point is, this
couple didn' t sell the house.

271
00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:41.440
As we knew, they owned several
properties and they were dedicated to real estate,

272
00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:48.400
which is why they always took advantage
of good investment purchases. I remember

273
00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:52.279
the husband once told me, when
I was a little past of glasses,

274
00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:56.119
that I was leaving the house because
I thought there was something wrong with the

275
00:22:56.160 --> 00:23:00.319
earth, a kind of evil that
attracted problems. They started renting the house,

276
00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:06.359
but the neighbors never lasted more than
six months. The neighbor who lasted

277
00:23:06.440 --> 00:23:11.240
the longest was a rather strange tall
man, accused by a neighbor as a

278
00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:15.920
stalker. In addition, it sold
spirits illegally. After that neighbor left the

279
00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:19.160
house, it lasted for a long
time without being rented. I think the

280
00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:23.200
house was easily uninhabited for a year. For this, my mother, who

281
00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:27.680
had always dedicated herself to home and
raising us, got a job because she

282
00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:33.480
had separated from my father. Then
my sister and I spent the whole afternoon

283
00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:38.039
and part of the night alone.
That' s when we started to notice

284
00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:42.079
certain strange sounds. On the continuous
wall of the empty house. We shared

285
00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:47.799
a room and one day around five
o' clock in the afternoon we began

286
00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:52.880
to hear the tinkling of some bells, which we did not pay much attention

287
00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:57.200
to at first, but after remaining
silent, we noticed more noises as if

288
00:23:57.240 --> 00:24:00.160
they were playing with marbles and gnashing
at the wheels of a trissino. At

289
00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:04.240
the time, my sister and I
thought we' d have new neighbors.

290
00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:10.200
We left the house and headed to
the next door to meet the new neighbors.

291
00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:14.799
What would be our surprise that the
house was still empty. There was

292
00:24:14.920 --> 00:24:18.839
no car outside as we approached the
window, which was without curtain and only

293
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:23.400
covered by a sign that said for
rent. Everything was in complete silence,

294
00:24:23.680 --> 00:24:29.480
in addition to being very dirty due
to the sudden abandonment, my sister observed

295
00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:33.119
that a small tricycle moved on its
own told me to look, but when

296
00:24:33.160 --> 00:24:37.519
I did, it was no longer
moving. I was just in the main

297
00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:41.359
room, where a few seconds ago
there was nothing. Suddenly we heard a

298
00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:45.799
little voice. I wouldn' t
know how to describe it. It seemed

299
00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:48.599
like a boy' s, but
with a certain old tone. We'

300
00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:52.279
re scared and we walk away from
the window. We immediately returned to the

301
00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:56.440
house and I, by pure chance, started trying to scare my sister by

302
00:24:56.960 --> 00:25:00.839
telling her that in the house next
door or lived a goblin that if I

303
00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:06.119
had a chance I would bite us
at that moment. It made me laugh,

304
00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:11.160
but she got serious and scared.
He told me it was very likely

305
00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:15.160
that it was one of those beings. A couple of days passed, but

306
00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:21.200
as it was Mom' s day
of rest, we did not notice strange

307
00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:25.400
noises, although if we tell her
what happened and she told us that as

308
00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:26.759
a child she saw goblins in a
house where they lived in San Luis Potosí.

309
00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:32.359
According to her, these beings lived
near where bodies of water existed.

310
00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:36.920
They weren' t friendly at all. Her and her brothers. They were

311
00:25:36.960 --> 00:25:42.440
suddenly attacked while playing next to a
fountain overlooking a deep well. He told

312
00:25:42.559 --> 00:25:47.279
us that he did not believe that
the house next door was occupied by a

313
00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:52.839
goblin, for although near our house
was a river and a small forest very

314
00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:57.119
close to a ravine that was known
as the swing. He didn' t

315
00:25:57.160 --> 00:26:00.400
think it possible that they were so
far away from their unnatural habitat. This

316
00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:06.759
comment from my mother managed to reassure
us, so we began to explain that

317
00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:12.279
perhaps all we saw and heard was
because of our imagination. The houses had

318
00:26:12.359 --> 00:26:18.279
small courtyards with low walls and stairs
facing the ceiling. We were playing with

319
00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:22.920
water balloons in the yard. One
afternoon, when we started listening, as

320
00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:26.880
if someone were going down the metal
steps quickly, we turned to look,

321
00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:33.079
but we saw nothing. Then everything
remained silent and we heard a sound of

322
00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:37.599
bells again. We went into the
house and didn' t go out in

323
00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:41.720
the yard again. We better turn
on the TV and put on a comedy

324
00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:45.599
movie. In the evening our mother
came in a bad mood and sent us

325
00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:51.400
to sleep early as punishment for having
left a slinghole in the yard. Then

326
00:26:51.440 --> 00:26:56.559
I turned on the radio and put
on a ghost show where people called to

327
00:26:56.599 --> 00:27:00.920
tell their stories. My sister asked
me to change him because that show scared

328
00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:04.920
him. When everything remained silent,
we again noticed how the grinding of the

329
00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:11.119
tires of a tricycle sounded. Then
they started hitting the PARED and I started

330
00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:15.559
responding to those blows hard. The
blows stopped and I came up with the

331
00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:21.079
silly idea of sticking my ear to
the wall. Then I clearly heard a

332
00:27:21.119 --> 00:27:26.000
strange voice uttering my name. After
threatening to take my sister away if I

333
00:27:26.039 --> 00:27:32.000
didn' t start bringing her food
in the morning, I felt so scared

334
00:27:32.079 --> 00:27:36.039
that I ran into my mother'
s room. My sister was already asleep

335
00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:40.680
and I didn' t mind leaving
her behind. My mother wouldn' t

336
00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:44.000
open the door for me. He
told me that what was happening to me

337
00:27:44.119 --> 00:27:47.559
was because I was acting bad.
I kept praying until I could sleep.

338
00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:53.400
At about four o' clock in
the morning, my sister woke up crying

339
00:27:53.480 --> 00:27:56.400
and said that she had dreamed of
the goblin of the house. Next door.

340
00:27:56.400 --> 00:28:00.240
I reassured her that the leprechaun was
not real, that everything was the

341
00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:06.559
work of our imagination. Also,
if that creature were real, being so

342
00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:12.119
small, it would not be a
good opponent and it would be easy to

343
00:28:12.200 --> 00:28:19.279
defeat it the next morning a couple
of dead pigeons were alighted in our yard

344
00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:22.839
were totally shattered and the floor of
the courtyard stained with the blood of those

345
00:28:22.839 --> 00:28:26.920
poor birds. We later learned that
someone had opened a neighbor’ s cage

346
00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:32.720
that raised these animals. My sister
was hysterical when she heard this news,

347
00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:37.039
thinking that the cause of those deaths
had been the goblin of the house next

348
00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:41.359
door. I told my sister that
we couldn' t be sure of that,

349
00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:45.319
that someone was more likely to open
the cage and let the birds out.

350
00:28:45.319 --> 00:28:49.759
And the dead birds in our yard
were a gift from some of the

351
00:28:49.880 --> 00:28:55.960
cats we heard at night on the
roof. Although I myself tried to believe

352
00:28:56.000 --> 00:28:59.680
what I said to my sister,
I kept thinking about the words I wrote

353
00:28:59.640 --> 00:29:04.000
through the wall. Then I made
the decision not to take any chances.

354
00:29:06.319 --> 00:29:10.000
So in the evening, when everyone
went to sleep, I grabbed a packet

355
00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:15.079
of cookies and a jar with a
vanilla natilla. I climbed the stairs,

356
00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:18.720
sat on the wall between the two
houses and threw the food in the direction

357
00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:22.400
of the courtyard. The house next
door had a protection made of a metal

358
00:29:22.519 --> 00:29:27.480
fence, but from the area where
the staircase was located it was easy to

359
00:29:27.599 --> 00:29:33.519
enter. Even though I, at
that moment, no kidding, thought I

360
00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:37.680
' d get inside the house.
As soon as I heard the food fell

361
00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:41.480
to the ground, I heard the
door of the courtyard opened and immediately caught

362
00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:45.200
a sound similar to the purring of
the cats. The sound scared me so

363
00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:49.880
much that I immediately set foot on
the ladder and tried to go down towards

364
00:29:49.920 --> 00:29:55.960
my courtyard. Then I felt like
they grabbed my hair and then walked in

365
00:29:56.039 --> 00:30:00.400
my back. Next thing I know, the door to my yard was closed.

366
00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:04.839
Then I started yelling at my mother
to open up. I also knocked

367
00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:11.519
on the door desperately. While I
was doing this, I heard laughter coming

368
00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:14.559
from the little wall between the houses. Although I didn' t see it,

369
00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:18.079
it seemed like the leprechaun was sitting
on the wall mocking me. I

370
00:30:18.119 --> 00:30:22.319
don' t know how long it
took my mother to get here, maybe

371
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:26.400
minutes, but it seemed to me
like hours. My mother asked me what

372
00:30:26.400 --> 00:30:30.599
had happened because I was in the
yard. I tried to tell him a

373
00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:36.200
lie, but after thinking about it
a couple of seconds, I didn'

374
00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:41.880
t make it and I told him
the whole truth I thought he wouldn'

375
00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:41.559
t believe me, but in the
face of so many coincidences I couldn'

376
00:30:41.559 --> 00:30:45.720
t do the opposite. She allowed
us to sleep with her for several nights.

377
00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:51.519
New neighbors arrived one day. They
were an American couple. After a

378
00:30:51.559 --> 00:30:56.160
month of the house being occupied,
we thought the nightmare had come to an

379
00:30:56.200 --> 00:31:00.160
end. But one rainy night in
October, my sister woke me up at

380
00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:06.319
night. She sounded so scared.
When I finished waking up, I understood

381
00:31:06.400 --> 00:31:08.880
that he was telling me that something
sounded at the window. I turned on

382
00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:14.759
the light and immediately ran the curtain. Then I saw it in all its

383
00:31:14.759 --> 00:31:18.240
fullness. He would not know how
to describe it, for his face was

384
00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:23.079
nothing but drawn from another world.
It was the leprechaun laughing mockingly. Who

385
00:31:23.160 --> 00:31:27.759
knows what he' d be holding
on to, because the window doesn'

386
00:31:27.759 --> 00:31:30.359
t have a balcony or a marquee. I felt like I was going crazy

387
00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:36.039
out of fear, so I started
screaming, losing control of myself. That

388
00:31:36.079 --> 00:31:40.279
' s where my mother ran into
our room with water. Blessed opened the

389
00:31:40.319 --> 00:31:44.240
window and threw the water in his
face, which made that being hurt his

390
00:31:44.319 --> 00:31:48.920
face. My mother said something like
banishment in the name of Jesus, Mary

391
00:31:49.039 --> 00:31:55.799
and Joseph, blessed be their names. The leprechaun disappeared jumping into the neighbor

392
00:31:55.880 --> 00:32:00.440
' s yard. Days later,
my mother brought a priest who was her

393
00:32:00.480 --> 00:32:06.720
friend to bless our house. I
do not know whether the father' s

394
00:32:06.720 --> 00:32:10.480
blessing or my mother' s confrontational
attitude will have banished the leprechaun, for

395
00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:15.480
shortly after my sister and I entered
the prepa in the afternoon shift and we

396
00:32:15.559 --> 00:32:29.599
never again noticed anything strange in the
house the lone child. When I was

397
00:32:29.720 --> 00:32:31.440
a kid, I lived in a
hospice. Today, I am not ashamed

398
00:32:31.480 --> 00:32:37.160
to say it openly. I can
presume that, despite having been without anything,

399
00:32:37.480 --> 00:32:40.400
I currently have a job, a
car and I pay rent from the

400
00:32:40.400 --> 00:32:45.359
apartment where we live, my partner, Cristina and I were very introverted.

401
00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:51.240
And it is that, unlike other
children who had been there since before they

402
00:32:51.240 --> 00:32:54.839
became aware and will remember the time
when they were handed over to the orphanage,

403
00:32:55.960 --> 00:33:00.039
I did remember my parents, because
I was already something big. I

404
00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:05.440
lived with my parents, who were
disturbed people and because of economic and emotional

405
00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:09.640
problems, they chose to get rid
of me something very sad if seen first

406
00:33:09.720 --> 00:33:15.160
hand. To date, however,
he did not claim anything. In fact,

407
00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:17.599
I saw my father die and told
him the same story I' m

408
00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:22.359
about to tell. The point is, I' ve always been very secretive.

409
00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:27.359
Yes, I was involved in all
the activities I had a chance to

410
00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:30.519
do, but I never made a
real friendship with anyone. This caused me

411
00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:34.400
to be treated like a weirdo who
liked to read, instead of being part

412
00:33:34.480 --> 00:33:37.519
of a group to annoy younger children, a weirdo who liked to write small

413
00:33:37.599 --> 00:33:45.319
poems instead of watching TV and far
from wanting to prove otherwise. And more

414
00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:52.680
and more I was just the only
people I was talking to was the nuns

415
00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:57.640
who cared for us and the priest
I chose as godfather. The place I

416
00:33:57.720 --> 00:34:04.079
chose to read alone. It was
an abandoned chapel in the backyard. This

417
00:34:04.200 --> 00:34:07.280
place was feared by all the children, because they said it was haunted,

418
00:34:08.079 --> 00:34:13.800
because there they had buried the remains
of a woman accused of witchcraft, history

419
00:34:13.840 --> 00:34:16.320
in which I obviously did not believe
and therefore did not share the fear towards

420
00:34:16.360 --> 00:34:22.159
the place. Like the others.
Many will think that children are abandoned all

421
00:34:22.239 --> 00:34:27.360
the time, but when Christmas approaches, there are many institutions that offered us

422
00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:32.000
banquets, toys and sweets. Three
days before Christmas came a company that served

423
00:34:32.039 --> 00:34:37.519
hot Dogs and brought a huge movie
screen. Although I was looking forward to

424
00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:44.119
watching the Christmas movies, I preferred
to stay away from my group, as

425
00:34:44.159 --> 00:34:47.760
I had recently had problems with older
children who hated me for having defended myself

426
00:34:49.199 --> 00:34:52.000
from one of them, whom I
almost broke the nose of a punch.

427
00:34:52.360 --> 00:34:55.760
Then I went straight to my hideout. I had removed a bar from the

428
00:34:55.880 --> 00:35:00.239
gate that prevented access to the chapel. Put it on and take it off.

429
00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:04.760
It was my secret so no one
would find me. When I hid

430
00:35:04.840 --> 00:35:07.840
from the world, that day I
found that the bar was on the floor,

431
00:35:08.199 --> 00:35:12.719
something that became strange to me,
because even though I had sanded the

432
00:35:13.119 --> 00:35:16.280
welding, I left a small layer
on the back so that it would stop

433
00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:20.960
and not be easy to remove.
I didn' t listen much to him,

434
00:35:21.239 --> 00:35:24.440
because at that time I told myself
that maybe someone had discovered my secret.

435
00:35:24.519 --> 00:35:30.400
At last I entered the chapel and
felt a strange atmosphere, because unlike

436
00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:37.159
other occasions, the place gave me
a sense of protection. It was my

437
00:35:37.239 --> 00:35:40.920
personal sanctuary, but that day I
felt evil floating in the air. Even

438
00:35:40.920 --> 00:35:46.440
though I had this feeling I would
rather be frightened by the ghost of some

439
00:35:46.519 --> 00:35:52.920
witch who was unjustly burned than have
to endure the mockery and heavy games of

440
00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:57.920
my companions. I was reading a
thousand- and- one- night compilation.

441
00:35:58.639 --> 00:36:01.400
For this I placed myself on a
wooden bench, from which I put

442
00:36:01.440 --> 00:36:06.320
a mattress that I stole from one
of the cellars of the hostel. That

443
00:36:06.400 --> 00:36:10.599
day I listened to the murmur at
the distance and suddenly noticed that several objects

444
00:36:10.840 --> 00:36:15.639
were falling around the chapel, objects
that in no way could possibly move the

445
00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:22.519
air. I also noticed the sound
of a spinning spin I looked at the

446
00:36:22.599 --> 00:36:27.800
already broken altar and managed to see
this toy a wooden spinner with a nailed

447
00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:31.280
tip that rotated on its own,
as if someone held it with an invisible

448
00:36:31.280 --> 00:36:36.199
rope. Suddenly the spin stopped turning, fell to the floor and immediately,

449
00:36:36.639 --> 00:36:40.679
several marbles rolled as far as I
was. I took a couple of them

450
00:36:40.719 --> 00:36:45.880
and put them in one of the
bags in my pants. Then I heard

451
00:36:45.920 --> 00:36:49.920
the laughter of a child who,
following the sound, realized that he was

452
00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:52.960
coming from a well next to a
baptismal pile. This scared me, so

453
00:36:53.159 --> 00:36:59.360
I abandoned what was once my sanctuary, now defiled. When I arrived at

454
00:36:59.400 --> 00:37:02.880
the courtyard where the projection was,
the nun who took care of my group

455
00:37:02.880 --> 00:37:07.440
pulled me out of my ear and
scolded me, like so many other times

456
00:37:07.480 --> 00:37:13.599
I sat next to her and gave
me popcorn. Sometimes I' d rather

457
00:37:13.639 --> 00:37:19.079
get in trouble because that' s
how I knew they' d isolate me

458
00:37:19.159 --> 00:37:20.519
from the other kids and at least
I' d be safe for a whole

459
00:37:20.519 --> 00:37:24.199
day. Another measure of punishment that
they imposed on me was to stay in

460
00:37:24.280 --> 00:37:30.519
a solitary cabin, away from the
group and also leave us a long penance

461
00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:35.440
of prayers that we, as children, did not wish to do. Then

462
00:37:35.559 --> 00:37:39.079
the nuns would stay with you until
you did not fulfill it or leave you

463
00:37:39.079 --> 00:37:44.920
locked up. Being this last one
worse. That time it was no exception,

464
00:37:45.280 --> 00:37:49.079
because a child took away the marbles
I found in the chapel, I

465
00:37:49.199 --> 00:37:52.440
beat him to the point of bleeding
his lips. That night I was taken

466
00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:58.559
to the cabin. They threatened to
leave me alone all night just after the

467
00:37:58.639 --> 00:38:01.079
nun left or or I was crying
with my back recharged at the door.

468
00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:06.679
And it' s because, even
though I always wanted to pretend to be

469
00:38:06.800 --> 00:38:09.440
hard and rebellious, the loneliness caught
me, especially when they took me to

470
00:38:09.440 --> 00:38:15.119
that cabin. As I cried,
I heard something hit the door. This

471
00:38:15.159 --> 00:38:20.360
made me stand up. Then five
marbles and a note were rolled under the

472
00:38:20.400 --> 00:38:24.199
door on a piece of paper.
The letter was almost understandable because the size

473
00:38:24.199 --> 00:38:30.880
of the letter was very small.
But I carefully understood that someone greeted me

474
00:38:30.280 --> 00:38:35.400
by saying that I wanted to be
my friend because I felt sorry for my

475
00:38:35.400 --> 00:38:39.199
loneliness. He signed with a foreign
name. The worst thing about leaving you

476
00:38:39.280 --> 00:38:43.280
alone there was that you couldn'
t even go to the bathroom. You

477
00:38:43.360 --> 00:38:47.360
were given a toilet to make your
needs, causing the aroma inside the cabin

478
00:38:47.400 --> 00:38:52.920
to be something unbearable. Under the
door I saw a pair of shoes a

479
00:38:53.000 --> 00:38:58.800
little funny, for it would look
like those that a clown would wear in

480
00:38:58.840 --> 00:39:02.000
those old days, which were like
pointy and just after the VIs ran,

481
00:39:02.440 --> 00:39:07.320
the feet were much smaller than those
of any child in the orphanage. They

482
00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:14.199
were like those shoes that put babies, only thinner and longer. They would

483
00:39:14.239 --> 00:39:17.320
easily go through the shoes of a
toy doll. I noticed that one of

484
00:39:17.360 --> 00:39:22.719
the marbles had blood stains, but
at the time I didn' t think

485
00:39:22.800 --> 00:39:28.199
it was that, but red paint. The day after they let me out,

486
00:39:28.440 --> 00:39:30.920
the orphanage was in chaos and the
boy who took the marbles from me

487
00:39:30.960 --> 00:39:37.119
was suffocated by a couple of these. Apparently, he put them in his

488
00:39:37.239 --> 00:39:42.400
mouth during the night before sleeping a
rather sad news. Now that I remember

489
00:39:42.400 --> 00:39:46.239
it, though at that time I
didn' t see it that way,

490
00:39:46.400 --> 00:39:51.159
the days passed and I kept getting
these notes with little lyrics. I also

491
00:39:51.239 --> 00:39:55.400
received several other toys that on more
than one occasion brought me trouble because the

492
00:39:55.480 --> 00:40:01.079
jealous companions of these gifts accused me
of stealing them. On another occasion there

493
00:40:01.159 --> 00:40:06.880
was another misfortune. I had received
a spin and a boy three years older

494
00:40:06.920 --> 00:40:10.159
than I took it from me.
The next day, the spine appeared in

495
00:40:10.199 --> 00:40:15.360
my bed with the red stain that
marbles. The child who took it from

496
00:40:15.599 --> 00:40:21.079
me dawned with a severe wound to
the right hand although the child did not

497
00:40:21.199 --> 00:40:24.679
die if he lost a certain level
of mobility between several of his fingers,

498
00:40:24.840 --> 00:40:30.360
this because some nerves were damaged.
I had avoided getting back into the chapel,

499
00:40:30.800 --> 00:40:35.559
because whatever happened that afternoon, I
knew it was not good, as

500
00:40:35.599 --> 00:40:38.559
well as beginning to associate gifts and
notes with something that lived in that place.

501
00:40:42.639 --> 00:40:46.360
Soon my suspicions began to increase,
as the notes began to ask me

502
00:40:46.400 --> 00:40:52.559
to go to the chapel without fear, because I wanted to show myself a

503
00:40:52.639 --> 00:40:55.719
treasure of toys that hid under the
baptismal pile or as a joke. I

504
00:40:55.800 --> 00:41:00.920
was going to approach, because after
this note I had no doubt that everything

505
00:41:00.960 --> 00:41:04.760
was the work of an evil being
who lived hidden in the rubble of the

506
00:41:04.880 --> 00:41:09.960
chapel. I got a couple of
toys again, but I didn' t

507
00:41:10.519 --> 00:41:15.119
take them, but I threw them
out of the rooms. For a while

508
00:41:15.159 --> 00:41:20.400
I stopped getting notes and thought the
matter was over. But I was wrong,

509
00:41:21.239 --> 00:41:24.440
because that period of calm was just
the silence that preceded the storm.

510
00:41:25.800 --> 00:41:30.960
One morning I found a note threatening
me that if I didn' t come

511
00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:34.639
in the afternoon of that day,
I would be suffocated. While I was

512
00:41:35.480 --> 00:41:39.000
sleeping, I felt intensely frightened.
I wanted to go to my best man

513
00:41:39.039 --> 00:41:44.599
or one of the nuns I trusted, but with so much misfortune I felt

514
00:41:44.719 --> 00:41:47.480
that they would not believe me.
So I chose to leave the notes on

515
00:41:47.519 --> 00:41:52.559
the desk of the only mother I
trusted and after school, I set out

516
00:41:52.559 --> 00:41:59.440
to sneak out to the chapel.
I came to the chapel I removed the

517
00:41:59.559 --> 00:42:01.639
bar and I nrré without thinking about
it. When I finally entered the chapel,

518
00:42:02.039 --> 00:42:07.760
I heard a voice welcoming me,
but I saw no one. After

519
00:42:07.800 --> 00:42:12.960
a couple of seconds this little man
was revealed who was not above 50 centimeters

520
00:42:13.079 --> 00:42:17.480
in height and was dressed in stockings, ridiculous shoes and the vest of one

521
00:42:17.559 --> 00:42:22.840
of the children of the orphanage.
I heard it was a leprechaun. Fear

522
00:42:22.880 --> 00:42:29.199
took hold of me and that creature
noticed it. Then he tried to calm

523
00:42:29.239 --> 00:42:32.760
me down by telling me not to
be afraid, because I just wanted to

524
00:42:32.800 --> 00:42:36.199
be my friend and soon pain and
loneliness would no longer be a problem for

525
00:42:36.199 --> 00:42:40.320
me. His comments only made me
more tense, because of the tone in

526
00:42:40.320 --> 00:42:45.519
which he uttered them. I knew
something bad would still do to me so

527
00:42:45.639 --> 00:42:51.079
I preferred to follow what it indicated
to me, for I felt a feeling

528
00:42:51.159 --> 00:42:52.599
of finding a way to save myself
from that creature' s claws. Then

529
00:42:52.639 --> 00:42:59.119
he led me to the Bautismal pile. It was practically in ruins. I

530
00:42:59.159 --> 00:43:04.519
noticed there was a huge well just
outside. The leprechaun told me to jump

531
00:43:05.000 --> 00:43:07.199
that nothing would happen to me.
I didn' t obey him. I

532
00:43:07.239 --> 00:43:13.280
backed out. In that the creature
tried to push me, but being small

533
00:43:13.320 --> 00:43:16.840
and not having a considerable weight,
did not manage to move with fear and

534
00:43:16.880 --> 00:43:20.199
everything I dared to give him a
kick that gave him right in the face.

535
00:43:21.199 --> 00:43:25.199
The goblin threw a squeal that stunned
me and then disappeared. At that

536
00:43:25.320 --> 00:43:30.599
moment he began to threaten me,
at the same time that he felt like

537
00:43:30.599 --> 00:43:32.599
he was pushing me. Again.
Terror invaded me, for this time I

538
00:43:32.679 --> 00:43:38.519
was moving. All I did was
give up thinking the worst would happen to

539
00:43:38.519 --> 00:43:43.239
me, but at that moment the
mother came in, to whom I had

540
00:43:43.280 --> 00:43:47.639
left the notes. He uttered a
Latin prayer that he later told me belonged

541
00:43:47.760 --> 00:43:53.360
to Saint Benedict and was used to
banish evil beings. The leprechaun never showed

542
00:43:53.440 --> 00:44:00.519
up again. The chapel was ordered
to be explored and although no dead bones

543
00:44:00.519 --> 00:44:04.559
were found, several toys and clothes
of the children of the orphanage were found.

544
00:44:04.920 --> 00:44:08.920
Some were very old. Who knows
when that leprechaun would be invading the

545
00:44:09.000 --> 00:44:14.880
orphanage. At least it didn'
t bother me anymore. From that day

546
00:44:14.920 --> 00:44:17.880
on. I create a great friendship
with the mother, whom I remember with

547
00:44:17.920 --> 00:44:32.320
great love and dedicate this story to
her memory. Nomos from Alaska. I

548
00:44:32.440 --> 00:44:37.119
work in Alaska, although I'
m originally from Ontario, Canada. My

549
00:44:37.119 --> 00:44:40.360
parents are from Toledo, Spain,
which is why I can speak Spanish perfectly

550
00:44:40.400 --> 00:44:45.480
and my father always insisted that only
this language be spoken in the house.

551
00:44:46.639 --> 00:44:52.960
I was always considered a failure for
both my parents and my brothers, and

552
00:44:52.000 --> 00:44:58.199
it is that I have never managed
to stand out in anything and this world

553
00:44:58.199 --> 00:45:00.960
seems to favor only those who are
born with a gift nar. I,

554
00:45:00.039 --> 00:45:05.679
on the other hand, could barely
and could keep a formal job for at

555
00:45:06.199 --> 00:45:09.280
least six months and then quit.
The point is, this collection of failures

556
00:45:09.320 --> 00:45:15.199
and self- sabotage led me to
want to flee Ontario. I took a

557
00:45:15.239 --> 00:45:19.480
job in crab fishing in Alaska,
as you can imagine, it' s

558
00:45:19.559 --> 00:45:24.039
a pretty risky job and on my
first cruise I almost died as expected.

559
00:45:24.400 --> 00:45:30.519
I was about to resign, but
a man originally from Mexico was taking care

560
00:45:30.719 --> 00:45:34.800
of me and motivating me not to
have been for him. I wouldn'

561
00:45:34.840 --> 00:45:37.400
t be telling this story. Today, when we returned to land, I

562
00:45:37.840 --> 00:45:42.079
did not want to return to my
home better. I stayed in the village

563
00:45:42.159 --> 00:45:45.960
of Barrow, where I made friends
with the owner of a fishing dam.

564
00:45:46.480 --> 00:45:52.159
His name was Nikolai, a man
of Russian origin who possessed a smile,

565
00:45:52.280 --> 00:45:58.079
bonachona, thick beard and a lot
of money. Nikoli offered to work with

566
00:45:58.199 --> 00:46:01.239
him for a year. Or offered, seeing me half the salary I received

567
00:46:01.320 --> 00:46:07.239
in crab fishing. Because I didn' t want to go home. I

568
00:46:07.239 --> 00:46:12.400
accepted the deal with Nicolai right away. The job was really simple. Nicolá

569
00:46:12.400 --> 00:46:16.079
and maintained fishing nets at different points
in his home. Same as it was

570
00:46:16.159 --> 00:46:22.159
on a small peninsula. Since I
had plenty of free time, I decided

571
00:46:22.199 --> 00:46:27.360
to join the local football team.
A day after a workout. I was

572
00:46:27.639 --> 00:46:31.199
invited on a field trip to a
wasteland very close to our village. I

573
00:46:31.239 --> 00:46:35.599
accepted more than anything because I liked
the sister of a guy on the team.

574
00:46:36.400 --> 00:46:38.679
We traveled in one of the boys' vans for about half an hour.

575
00:46:40.039 --> 00:46:45.360
Then we came to a place full
of trees. We left the van

576
00:46:45.360 --> 00:46:49.400
on the side of the road and
walked through a gap until we reached an

577
00:46:49.639 --> 00:46:54.079
abandoned village. One of the guys
told me he found something quite interesting.

578
00:46:54.840 --> 00:47:00.960
We followed him to an area where
huge stones were erected. As we approached,

579
00:47:01.559 --> 00:47:06.480
I noticed how several of these showed
carved symbols. The boy who took

580
00:47:06.559 --> 00:47:09.519
us told us that they were put
by a group of Inuit who inhabited the

581
00:47:09.559 --> 00:47:14.519
area in the past. I did
not believe this entirely, because the symbols

582
00:47:14.559 --> 00:47:17.199
in question seemed familiar to me,
because one of my aunts, on my

583
00:47:17.239 --> 00:47:22.320
father' s part, is dedicated
to witchcraft and that symbol became quite known

584
00:47:22.360 --> 00:47:27.639
to me because on one occasion her
apartment was burned in Ottawa and when they

585
00:47:27.719 --> 00:47:31.840
succeeded in suffocating the flames, we
discovered a black wood altar with several of

586
00:47:31.920 --> 00:47:35.119
the symbols I saw on the marked
stones. It' s in him,

587
00:47:35.119 --> 00:47:39.880
too. That time of the fire, we discovered with disappointment how he kept

588
00:47:39.960 --> 00:47:45.079
photos of several of us with some
curses written back. The fact is,

589
00:47:45.199 --> 00:47:49.199
seeing those same symbols on the stone, they left me thinking about two things.

590
00:47:50.239 --> 00:47:53.039
One that the carving on the stone
was recent or that maybe the kind

591
00:47:53.119 --> 00:48:00.199
of magic I used or my aunt
was too old. We walked a little

592
00:48:00.239 --> 00:48:04.960
further to an abandoned cabin with two
huge wooden pillars at the entrance, where

593
00:48:04.960 --> 00:48:09.840
two figures were carved. These figures
looked like men of low stature with expressions

594
00:48:10.199 --> 00:48:15.719
of suffering, as if they were
frozen in time in the midst of some

595
00:48:15.760 --> 00:48:22.000
tragedy. In the center of the
pillars we find a figure that stood out

596
00:48:22.039 --> 00:48:25.840
more than the others, a representation
of a man frozen in a peculiar pose.

597
00:48:27.559 --> 00:48:32.360
The sculptures gave me a rather unpleasant
feeling. It was as if inside

598
00:48:32.400 --> 00:48:37.960
my chest a void formed that filled
me with anguish and sadness. I don

599
00:48:37.039 --> 00:48:44.239
' t know how to explain it, but it was as if I felt

600
00:48:44.440 --> 00:48:46.119
all the suffering represented in the drawing
of the central pillar. I heard the

601
00:48:46.159 --> 00:48:52.239
voice of the girl I liked saying
those creatures represented on the pillars were nothing

602
00:48:52.280 --> 00:48:59.960
other than no beings I knew as
goblins. She told me that these creatures

603
00:49:00.119 --> 00:49:04.800
were the cause of the disappearance of
more than thirty people a year in that

604
00:49:04.880 --> 00:49:08.400
area. His real name was written
in a way I can' t mention,

605
00:49:09.079 --> 00:49:14.960
but his translation was Gnome of the
ice. These creatures had not been

606
00:49:15.079 --> 00:49:20.400
created by God, so they lived
in the shadows and needed human souls to

607
00:49:20.480 --> 00:49:24.199
survive, this being the reason that
they lost the unwary ones who, with

608
00:49:24.239 --> 00:49:29.760
the promise of carrying them to a
treasure hidden inside one of the caves where

609
00:49:29.800 --> 00:49:34.599
they live and once inside extract the
soul of the person and feed on his

610
00:49:34.679 --> 00:49:38.199
flesh. I played a brave role
and replied that I did not believe in

611
00:49:38.280 --> 00:49:43.039
such tales, because to me they
were only part of the local folklore,

612
00:49:43.480 --> 00:49:46.320
which was just a stupid way to
explain why the misfortune of people who are

613
00:49:46.440 --> 00:49:52.119
caught in the snow. The girl
told me that if I didn' t

614
00:49:52.159 --> 00:49:57.280
think I' d join her the
next day, she' d show me

615
00:49:57.280 --> 00:50:00.320
something that would change my mind.
That afternoon we returned or to urs before

616
00:50:00.320 --> 00:50:05.119
nightfall. I didn' t sleep
so much because of the excitement of having

617
00:50:05.159 --> 00:50:08.480
a solo date with the girl I
liked as the images carved on the pillars

618
00:50:08.559 --> 00:50:14.360
of that desolate place. We saw
each other early, as the light barely

619
00:50:14.400 --> 00:50:16.599
lasts in Alaska. Fortunately, we
didn' t have to travel far.

620
00:50:17.199 --> 00:50:22.760
He took me to a cave outside
the village. We passed a couple of

621
00:50:22.760 --> 00:50:27.400
ice chambers and suddenly we met a
frozen little man or at least that seemed

622
00:50:27.440 --> 00:50:31.320
to be about a meter high and
he was dressed in various animal skins.

623
00:50:32.519 --> 00:50:37.280
He had pointed ears and his head
covered in a striped hat. I told

624
00:50:37.320 --> 00:50:42.639
her that that creature might well be
just a doll someone forgot in there and

625
00:50:42.840 --> 00:50:47.039
as time passed she froze. He
told me to take a good look at

626
00:50:47.159 --> 00:50:52.239
his skin as his face showed gesticulation. I obeyed him and looked closely at

627
00:50:52.239 --> 00:50:55.199
the frozen figure. He could no
longer believe that it was just a doll,

628
00:50:55.679 --> 00:51:00.079
because in his skin it looked greenish, besides showing to go imperfections that

629
00:51:00.239 --> 00:51:06.199
plastic dolls cannot have, especially that
expression on his face macabre expression that reflected

630
00:51:06.280 --> 00:51:13.639
malevolence. We went back to town
and stayed drinking coffee in a coffee shop.

631
00:51:14.079 --> 00:51:16.880
There I heard from her, as
those beings caught her father, of

632
00:51:16.880 --> 00:51:22.840
whom they only managed to find their
clothes near a cliff. He also told

633
00:51:23.119 --> 00:51:28.679
me that during the 1980s at least
a dozen children were lost and that the

634
00:51:28.800 --> 00:51:35.400
whole town was alerted. Several of
them reported seeing these nomos. I didn

635
00:51:35.519 --> 00:51:40.159
' t mean to contradict her,
because she was pretty convinced of what she

636
00:51:40.239 --> 00:51:42.639
was talking to me about, so
I' d better listen to her without

637
00:51:42.639 --> 00:51:45.719
interrupting her. In the end we
ended up kissing and we became a couple.

638
00:51:46.679 --> 00:51:51.840
For one day we stayed at his
house. His home had a terrace

639
00:51:51.960 --> 00:51:57.119
with fireplace and view towards the mountains. My girlfriend had a telescope on there,

640
00:51:57.239 --> 00:52:00.760
pointing straight towards the mountains, but
she made me look. Then I

641
00:52:00.880 --> 00:52:06.039
saw two beings like the one I
saw inside the cave, carrying with them

642
00:52:06.079 --> 00:52:10.880
the body of a cat and a
dog. I was perplexed I quickly removed

643
00:52:12.000 --> 00:52:15.480
my eye from the telescope. I
couldn' t believe what I just saw.

644
00:52:15.599 --> 00:52:20.480
My girlfriend told me that for a
long time she had seen them sometimes

645
00:52:20.800 --> 00:52:24.360
raid her father' s farm,
but that since she only raised large cattle,

646
00:52:24.719 --> 00:52:29.559
they never took anything away, even
though they had taken things from her

647
00:52:29.559 --> 00:52:35.280
house. At the same time that
he was admired, they also gave him

648
00:52:35.880 --> 00:52:38.920
chills, because on different occasions I
hear them speak in their profane language.

649
00:52:39.599 --> 00:52:44.119
I could no longer try not to
believe what she told me, because in

650
00:52:44.199 --> 00:52:46.920
the face of so much evidence,
to deny what was being seen was pure

651
00:52:46.920 --> 00:52:52.920
foolishness. Then he began to tell
me that these creatures lived there for a

652
00:52:53.480 --> 00:52:59.679
long time before the same mud was
founded and that among the first colonizers I

653
00:52:59.719 --> 00:53:02.960
always saw came witches and witches,
for in a place so far from all

654
00:53:04.079 --> 00:53:07.400
civilization, he gave them a lot
of freedom to perform their rites and spells.

655
00:53:08.719 --> 00:53:13.440
It also told me that those nomos
would not be here if it weren

656
00:53:13.559 --> 00:53:17.719
' t for ancient Inuit witches who, taking advantage of the energy in the

657
00:53:17.800 --> 00:53:22.159
area opened a kind of portal through
which they crossed those gnomes. But that,

658
00:53:22.280 --> 00:53:27.559
as she had told me before,
she believed that those creatures already lived

659
00:53:27.679 --> 00:53:32.599
there From before I listened to what
she told me and when I gathered enough

660
00:53:32.679 --> 00:53:37.639
courage to look back at me through
the telescope, the creatures disappeared. Right

661
00:53:37.639 --> 00:53:43.199
away. She asked me to take
her to ontario with me, who was

662
00:53:43.360 --> 00:53:47.800
too afraid to continue living there,
because those beings recently entered her room that

663
00:53:47.880 --> 00:53:52.639
listening to her voices caused her panic. When he told his mother, she

664
00:53:52.639 --> 00:53:57.519
didn' t do anything, she
even seemed not to believe him. I

665
00:53:57.599 --> 00:54:00.199
kept seeing him, though I believed
him so well. I was pretty hasty

666
00:54:00.360 --> 00:54:07.000
about him going to live with me. If we were really just getting started,

667
00:54:07.320 --> 00:54:08.599
we didn' t know how we' d get along. Still,

668
00:54:08.880 --> 00:54:13.480
I told her that if it was
possible, but that I would have to

669
00:54:13.559 --> 00:54:17.760
consult with my parents, if I
had known that it would be the last

670
00:54:17.840 --> 00:54:20.800
time I would see her I would
have taken her with me to the Nikolai

671
00:54:20.800 --> 00:54:24.800
Farm. That night I came home
with the feeling that someone was following me.

672
00:54:27.400 --> 00:54:30.559
I stopped several times along the way
and turned around to see behind my

673
00:54:30.679 --> 00:54:36.519
back. However, nothing and no
one but the cold wind followed me at

674
00:54:37.519 --> 00:54:42.719
night. While I was sleeping,
I heard her voice in a vivid way,

675
00:54:43.559 --> 00:54:46.880
I felt it so real. Then
I dreamt that I would wake up

676
00:54:46.960 --> 00:54:51.639
and go for a walk to clear
me. Mind, the people were plunged

677
00:54:51.719 --> 00:54:57.280
into darkness and silence. The dim
lights of the houses barely lit up the

678
00:54:57.400 --> 00:55:00.760
snow that covered the streets. I
walked aimlessly, letting the gnashing of snow

679
00:55:00.840 --> 00:55:07.119
under my feet be the only company. At some point I realized that I

680
00:55:07.159 --> 00:55:13.719
was heading for the area where we
had found the nomos sculptures. The full

681
00:55:13.840 --> 00:55:19.360
moon lighted the landscape weakly and I
could see the silhouettes of the carved stones.

682
00:55:20.039 --> 00:55:23.880
As I approached, I felt that
strange feeling of emptiness and discomfort again.

683
00:55:24.880 --> 00:55:29.519
Suddenly, the figure of a little
being materialized in front of me.

684
00:55:30.400 --> 00:55:34.559
It was one of those gnomes,
with its pointed ears and its greenish skin.

685
00:55:35.480 --> 00:55:39.360
I was paralyzed, unable to articulate
a word. The nomo looked at

686
00:55:39.440 --> 00:55:45.239
me with cold, malevolent eyes and
began to speak in a guttural and unknown

687
00:55:45.000 --> 00:55:49.840
language he did not understand what he
was saying, but he felt that his

688
00:55:49.920 --> 00:55:52.360
words resonated in the depths of my
being. Suddenly, the nome approached me

689
00:55:52.440 --> 00:55:58.960
and extended his icy hands to my
chest. I felt like something was torn

690
00:55:59.000 --> 00:56:04.159
inside me, like my soul was
torn from my body. A sharp pain

691
00:56:04.400 --> 00:56:07.440
swept through my being and I fell
to my knees in the snow. The

692
00:56:07.559 --> 00:56:13.559
last image I saw before I woke
up was those gnomes feeding on her body.

693
00:56:14.639 --> 00:56:17.639
I woke up really scared. I
immediately telephoned her house, but I

694
00:56:17.760 --> 00:56:23.320
couldn' t communicate. Then I
went to get her after work and I

695
00:56:23.400 --> 00:56:28.079
didn' t find her either.
Her family refused to tell me something and

696
00:56:28.199 --> 00:56:31.960
told me not to look for her
anymore. I was confused. I let

697
00:56:32.039 --> 00:56:36.639
it go for a couple of days, because I didn' t think anything

698
00:56:36.800 --> 00:56:39.840
bad had happened to her. It
wasn' t until I gathered the courage

699
00:56:39.920 --> 00:56:45.320
to ask one of the guys on
the team that, with my eyes down,

700
00:56:45.679 --> 00:56:47.960
he told me that she was lost
and that it was best that I

701
00:56:49.039 --> 00:56:52.239
didn' t ask any more about
the matter. I felt even more confused,

702
00:56:52.800 --> 00:56:55.360
but I came to the idea that
maybe she didn' t want to

703
00:56:55.360 --> 00:56:59.119
see me anymore, because it wasn' t what she expected in a couple.

704
00:57:00.199 --> 00:57:04.639
This idea took root so strongly in
my head that I began to wish

705
00:57:04.639 --> 00:57:09.000
to leave that town once and for
all. I took the impulse and bought

706
00:57:09.039 --> 00:57:14.400
a flight for the next day.
The last night I spent in mud I

707
00:57:14.440 --> 00:57:16.679
heard her voice and also the voice
of the nomo. She told me that

708
00:57:16.880 --> 00:57:22.079
they took her and that they would
soon come for me. I never went

709
00:57:22.199 --> 00:57:25.599
back into mud so I didn'
t know what happened to her. Sometimes

710
00:57:25.679 --> 00:57:30.480
I think those beings ended up taking
her away and if I hadn' t

711
00:57:30.599 --> 00:57:39.760
left, the goblins from the tonal
focus would have come for me, too.

712
00:57:43.079 --> 00:57:47.360
In my teens I lived near the
tonal focus of Poncitlán Jalisco and on

713
00:57:47.400 --> 00:57:52.559
a couple of occasions my parents took
us to this enigmatic place. We lived

714
00:57:52.599 --> 00:57:58.360
closer to the municipality of Ocotlán than
to Poncitlán. In a place like those,

715
00:57:58.639 --> 00:58:01.760
at least in the time that responds
to my childhood and adolescence, the

716
00:58:01.840 --> 00:58:07.159
place was wonderful for those people who
enjoyed nature, because near my house was

717
00:58:07.199 --> 00:58:12.239
the forest and, if you wanted, you went by bike to the lagoon

718
00:58:12.280 --> 00:58:16.199
or so many other areas that I
do not remember at this moment the story

719
00:58:16.280 --> 00:58:21.960
that I wish to share happened during
the last year that I lived at my

720
00:58:22.119 --> 00:58:25.719
parents' house, because from the
events that occurred and when I entered the

721
00:58:25.800 --> 00:58:31.800
University of Guadalajara, I had to
move back then there were not so many

722
00:58:31.840 --> 00:58:35.960
university campuses as today. When my
parents took me and my sister Ana to

723
00:58:36.039 --> 00:58:39.880
the tonal focus, they told us
that it is a cosmic energy zone where

724
00:58:40.519 --> 00:58:45.760
that nation is offered to the people
who visit her. Whoever had the opportunity

725
00:58:45.880 --> 00:58:50.519
to visit him will know that the
place seems to be taken from another dimension.

726
00:58:51.960 --> 00:58:54.760
When we arrived, both my sister
and I knew that what was said

727
00:58:54.920 --> 00:58:59.960
about this place was not a lie, because the energy feels in truth,

728
00:59:00.519 --> 00:59:04.440
it is as if the force of
gravity is heavier. Apart from that,

729
00:59:04.920 --> 00:59:07.440
you feel stunned and whatever area it
was. When you spoke your voice,

730
00:59:08.000 --> 00:59:13.559
it resonated echoing as if you were
inside a cavern. The place also has

731
00:59:13.639 --> 00:59:17.559
a castle whose architecture denotes great influence. He' s a soterist. I

732
00:59:17.679 --> 00:59:22.199
don' t know who owns this
place, but I have no doubt that

733
00:59:22.320 --> 00:59:27.840
the construction was done for a purpose, for occult purposes. That day we

734
00:59:27.960 --> 00:59:31.880
went more than anything because my mother
was sick. He had recently suffered an

735
00:59:32.000 --> 00:59:38.239
embolism and was still unable to recover
They said that in that place people were

736
00:59:38.599 --> 00:59:44.440
healed thanks to the cosmic energy boosted
by the tonal focus. My sister and

737
00:59:44.519 --> 00:59:47.639
I got bored quickly, as we
didn' t give value to the things

738
00:59:47.719 --> 00:59:52.719
I mention today. So, after
seeing the castle and being with my parents

739
00:59:52.800 --> 00:59:57.599
for a while in the tonal focus
we snuck into the field where they said

740
00:59:57.719 --> 01:00:01.639
there were a thousand goblins. We
saw thousands of old candy and toys burned

741
01:00:01.800 --> 01:00:07.239
by the sun We heard that if
you left a gift to the leprechauns,

742
01:00:07.800 --> 01:00:12.239
they would grant you any favors.
My sister Ana was attracted to a doll

743
01:00:12.360 --> 01:00:16.320
that was still in her original packaging. She tried to take it and I

744
01:00:16.360 --> 01:00:21.119
told her not to, because if
it was true that there were goblins in

745
01:00:21.119 --> 01:00:22.880
the area, it wouldn' t
be very funny for them to take their

746
01:00:22.880 --> 01:00:27.440
things. She, though she didn' t take the doll, made fun

747
01:00:27.559 --> 01:00:30.039
of me for believing in that kind
of myth. At that moment I heard

748
01:00:30.079 --> 01:00:36.039
my mother call us and almost at
the same time as trying to imitate her

749
01:00:36.119 --> 01:00:38.800
voice, someone pronounced our names on
top of a tree. I felt terrified,

750
01:00:39.400 --> 01:00:43.760
so I didn' t want to
turn around and see where the voice

751
01:00:43.760 --> 01:00:46.800
came from. I lost sight of
my sister for a couple of minutes and

752
01:00:46.920 --> 01:00:52.920
when I got to where my parents
were, she was already there. I

753
01:00:52.039 --> 01:00:57.800
saw in it a look that I
knew perfectly, that look that I put

754
01:00:57.880 --> 01:01:00.760
when I had done something wrong.
That no night back home, we noticed

755
01:01:01.480 --> 01:01:07.519
a change in our mother' s
mood. It seemed more lively and its

756
01:01:07.679 --> 01:01:15.360
vital energy seemed to recharge the following
days. His recovery was surprisingly quick.

757
01:01:15.000 --> 01:01:21.239
The weekend I saw my sister playing
with a new doll. It was the

758
01:01:21.320 --> 01:01:25.079
same doll I told her not to
take. When he saw me, he

759
01:01:25.159 --> 01:01:28.639
tried to hide it, but it
was too late. As the days passed,

760
01:01:28.920 --> 01:01:32.960
several things began to get lost in
the house. Keys, jewelry and

761
01:01:34.039 --> 01:01:37.440
even food I noticed a change in
my sister' s behavior. From being

762
01:01:37.519 --> 01:01:44.239
a laughing, mocking and naughty girl, she became frightened, nervous and shy

763
01:01:44.360 --> 01:01:49.519
how we shared a room. Sometimes
she noticed that she got up very excited.

764
01:01:50.239 --> 01:01:53.599
I even got to see her crying
when I ran into her to find

765
01:01:53.599 --> 01:01:55.719
out what was wrong with her.
She didn' t want to tell me

766
01:01:55.800 --> 01:02:00.800
anything, and she was quite proud, even though she didn' t want

767
01:02:00.840 --> 01:02:02.639
to tell me what was going on. I already knew what was going on,

768
01:02:04.159 --> 01:02:07.239
but I didn' t know the
seriousness of the matter. One rainy

769
01:02:07.320 --> 01:02:13.559
night I woke up to go to
the bathroom in the morning. Upon returning

770
01:02:13.599 --> 01:02:15.880
to my room, I began to
notice a few taps at the window.

771
01:02:16.480 --> 01:02:22.079
It was an almost imperceptible sound that
might have been confused with the fall of

772
01:02:22.159 --> 01:02:27.480
hail but the rain was so light
that I could perceive it. I made

773
01:02:27.559 --> 01:02:31.039
the stupid decision to look out for
the sale, not before I turned on

774
01:02:31.159 --> 01:02:36.079
the light of a lamp I had
on a little table at night. Then

775
01:02:36.760 --> 01:02:40.400
I saw these little men. They
had long black hair, long ears,

776
01:02:40.920 --> 01:02:47.119
pointed nose and were dressed in a
long black robe. Everyone looked at me

777
01:02:47.199 --> 01:02:51.880
like they asked me to open the
window and let them in. I backed

778
01:02:51.920 --> 01:02:55.159
out. For this, my sister
woke up and as she looked at me

779
01:02:55.239 --> 01:03:00.760
in the window, she looked at
me with anguish and cried. At that

780
01:03:00.880 --> 01:03:05.199
time I claimed that it was all
because I had taken the doll of the

781
01:03:05.639 --> 01:03:08.679
field that were now there for us
to return. She told me it wasn

782
01:03:08.719 --> 01:03:14.159
' t that easy, because even
when they couldn' t get in that

783
01:03:14.280 --> 01:03:17.480
night, I' d seen them
around the house on several occasions. Desperate,

784
01:03:17.719 --> 01:03:22.000
I talked to my parents about what
was happening. We decided to go

785
01:03:22.119 --> 01:03:25.599
back to the tonal focus and return
the doll to apologize to the goblins.

786
01:03:27.559 --> 01:03:30.199
Upon arriving at the place, we
placed the doll in the same place where

787
01:03:30.320 --> 01:03:35.239
my sister had taken it, offering
apologies and promising to respect the place.

788
01:03:35.639 --> 01:03:38.960
We did so, but this did
not lead away those beings that today I

789
01:03:39.320 --> 01:03:44.719
doubt were the same ones that inhabited
the tonal focus. Moreover, I consider

790
01:03:44.840 --> 01:03:49.719
that these kinds of places not only
open the door to luminous beings, because

791
01:03:49.800 --> 01:03:52.800
many times the beings of darkness are
attracted also by the light and sometimes manage

792
01:03:52.960 --> 01:03:58.239
to escape, being several of these
beings that followed my sister and me.

793
01:03:58.880 --> 01:04:04.360
Even our home, things kept disappearing. In addition, we began to find

794
01:04:04.440 --> 01:04:10.840
strange messages, written with red ink
on white sheets of paper. The messages

795
01:04:10.960 --> 01:04:15.039
were a series of meaningless symbols that, as much as we tried to find

796
01:04:15.159 --> 01:04:20.880
any meaning or resemblance to any language, had no comparison. We sought help

797
01:04:21.039 --> 01:04:26.599
and ended up finding her in the
same tonal focus. There we were introduced

798
01:04:26.719 --> 01:04:30.480
to a parapsychologist who, after interviewing
us, expressed the same opinion as I

799
01:04:30.639 --> 01:04:35.519
as to what was happening. He
also said that those goblins were not the

800
01:04:35.599 --> 01:04:41.280
same as the tonal focus, for
those that usually appear there are of different

801
01:04:41.679 --> 01:04:46.360
colors, while those that we described
seemed too dark. And gloomy with a

802
01:04:46.480 --> 01:04:53.000
series of strange gadgets installed in our
home. I really don' t know

803
01:04:53.039 --> 01:04:56.239
how your machines work. To me
they were just drawers of the metal mine

804
01:04:56.360 --> 01:05:00.840
with many colored tubes and crystals.
Whatever he did, things got better and

805
01:05:01.199 --> 01:05:08.480
things didn' t get lost in
the house again. Some time later,

806
01:05:08.880 --> 01:05:13.159
I went to live with a sister
of my mother. When I returned to

807
01:05:13.280 --> 01:05:16.079
my parents' house, I decided
to visit the tonal focus again. On

808
01:05:16.159 --> 01:05:21.679
this occasion we went to a ceremony
at sunset, I respect all kinds of

809
01:05:23.199 --> 01:05:26.480
beliefs, but on that occasion I
was bored so much. My sister,

810
01:05:26.679 --> 01:05:32.079
who had not yet married or entered
college, snuck back into the area where

811
01:05:32.159 --> 01:05:38.199
she took her wrist I warned her
from the beginning that she would not take

812
01:05:38.320 --> 01:05:43.039
anything or get out of the way. Much less will it approach the area

813
01:05:43.159 --> 01:05:47.400
where the ten thousand goblins lived.
Walking we began to notice a certain tinkling

814
01:05:47.519 --> 01:05:53.280
of blue lights. Without going into
the trees, we sat on a bench

815
01:05:53.440 --> 01:06:00.000
looking towards those lights. Then we
saw those goblins who were the ones living

816
01:06:00.519 --> 01:06:05.079
in that place. I wouldn'
t know how to describe them just as

817
01:06:05.199 --> 01:06:09.840
little little men less than a meter
tall, very bright. Looking at the

818
01:06:09.960 --> 01:06:15.239
view better, we saw how they
were chasing a dark creature. Ana jumped

819
01:06:15.320 --> 01:06:17.920
in and told me that the dark
creature was one of those goblins stalking her

820
01:06:18.000 --> 01:06:23.599
in the house. Everything that followed
I imagine was a kind of struggle,

821
01:06:24.159 --> 01:06:30.199
because the luminous beings made run and
replete to that dark being. The luminous

822
01:06:30.280 --> 01:06:34.199
goblins seemed to be protecting their territory
from the presence of the dark creature stalking

823
01:06:34.320 --> 01:06:40.599
them. The scene was surreal,
with flashes of light and shadows dancing among

824
01:06:40.719 --> 01:06:45.360
the trees. As we watched,
we realized that the luminous goblins possessed a

825
01:06:45.480 --> 01:06:51.920
kind of positive energy that repelled the
dark creature. The dark creature, on

826
01:06:53.039 --> 01:06:58.159
the other hand, issued a threatening
presence and seemed to try to dodge the

827
01:06:58.239 --> 01:07:01.719
light of the luminous goblins. The
battle between light and darkness unfolded before us

828
01:07:01.840 --> 01:07:08.559
and we were amazed by the intensity
of the confrontation in the forest of the

829
01:07:08.679 --> 01:07:15.119
ana tonal focus And I stood still
without daring to interfere in the confrontation between

830
01:07:15.280 --> 01:07:24.480
these mystical creatures. Gradually, the
dark creature receded, seeming to lose ground

831
01:07:24.559 --> 01:07:29.159
in front of the radiant light of
the goblins. He finally disappeared into the

832
01:07:29.239 --> 01:07:32.400
shadows of the forest. Finally,
we heard laughter that, although they did

833
01:07:32.480 --> 01:07:39.519
not sound dark to me if they
gave me chills, because they were luminous

834
01:07:40.199 --> 01:07:43.920
or dark beings, they should not
belong to the same existential plane as us.

835
01:07:44.840 --> 01:07:47.440
For years I avoided talking about this
subject, because, apart from the

836
01:07:47.599 --> 01:07:53.480
panic that caused me to remember it, I was afraid that I would be

837
01:07:53.559 --> 01:07:57.599
ridiculed, given the incredibleness of history. However, now that I have known

838
01:07:57.679 --> 01:08:01.800
this channel, I feel in CONs' confidence in the hope of coinciding with

839
01:08:01.880 --> 01:08:15.359
some story similar to mine the goblin
under the tree. When I was young,

840
01:08:15.600 --> 01:08:19.279
I worked in a parcel company.
Previously it was more difficult to find

841
01:08:19.439 --> 01:08:24.199
the addresses, because it did not
exist, as today the GPS maps.

842
01:08:25.079 --> 01:08:29.279
Today, people are very dependent on
this technology and no longer learn the names

843
01:08:29.359 --> 01:08:32.279
of the streets, while before we
had to make use of our memory.

844
01:08:33.960 --> 01:08:39.439
On one occasion I had to look
for an address, one of those that

845
01:08:39.560 --> 01:08:44.399
were quite difficult, because it was
in a walker, which is a smaller

846
01:08:44.520 --> 01:08:47.880
street than a private one, and
this direction, in particular, was located

847
01:08:47.920 --> 01:08:53.279
in a labyrinth of walkers, this
in a colony of the oldest in Guadalajara,

848
01:08:53.880 --> 01:08:58.119
Jalisco. I have come to think
that it is not simple chance to

849
01:08:58.720 --> 01:09:02.640
find certain phenomena and perhaps the cassans
of them are due to a geographical situation

850
01:09:02.640 --> 01:09:08.039
that naturally moves the most evil souls
to that place, for only they know

851
01:09:08.159 --> 01:09:13.680
how to take advantage of all the
energy that emanates. Naturally, that afternoon

852
01:09:13.880 --> 01:09:17.560
it took me about forty minutes to
find the address, and that is that,

853
01:09:18.159 --> 01:09:23.760
apart from the fact that the walker
was quite narrow, the numbering was

854
01:09:23.840 --> 01:09:26.800
very sautéed and the numbers were not
followed one by one. I crossed through

855
01:09:26.880 --> 01:09:30.840
a park in the middle of the
walker, where there was a huge weeping

856
01:09:30.960 --> 01:09:35.800
willow and immediately some stairs and between
the tree and the stairs I saw a

857
01:09:35.880 --> 01:09:40.920
small door that after observing detail,
I realized that it was a normal door,

858
01:09:41.479 --> 01:09:44.880
of a house that swallowed the tree
as it grew. When I crossed

859
01:09:44.960 --> 01:09:48.520
the stairs, I heard as if
someone were talking to me, then I

860
01:09:48.600 --> 01:09:54.039
turned and seemed to look at an
old lady peeking at a little door at

861
01:09:54.159 --> 01:09:57.399
the top of the door, as
I was so focused on finding the address.

862
01:09:57.920 --> 01:10:01.479
I didn' t pay attention to
this woman going up the stairs,

863
01:10:01.760 --> 01:10:05.359
there was the person waiting for the
package. I gave him his package and

864
01:10:05.439 --> 01:10:11.359
gave him to fill out the receipt
form. When I was about to leave

865
01:10:11.560 --> 01:10:15.279
a very nice house caught my attention. It was two- storey built in

866
01:10:15.359 --> 01:10:19.039
the traditional way and the best of
all is that I saw it display a

867
01:10:19.159 --> 01:10:23.640
huge serrenta sign. Like me,
I had little to marry, although my

868
01:10:23.760 --> 01:10:28.880
wife already had two children, she
was expecting one of mine and we lived

869
01:10:29.000 --> 01:10:31.119
in a small one- room apartment. So I wrote down the number and

870
01:10:31.239 --> 01:10:35.159
got in touch. I barely had
a chance. The rent wasn' t

871
01:10:35.159 --> 01:10:39.640
cheap, but it wasn' t
something I couldn' t pay either,

872
01:10:39.960 --> 01:10:42.720
so I closed the deal, handed
over the deposit and the first month'

873
01:10:42.720 --> 01:10:45.479
s rent. Then I gave the
news to my wife, who was quite

874
01:10:45.560 --> 01:10:49.840
happy to learn that we would move
into a house with three bedrooms. We

875
01:10:49.920 --> 01:10:54.720
moved right away and got a couple
of sixth pieces of furniture in a bazaar.

876
01:10:55.479 --> 01:10:59.920
At this point I kept thinking about
how difficult it would be for correspondence

877
01:11:00.079 --> 01:11:03.239
to find the address. So I
bought a couple of huge numbers and placed

878
01:11:03.359 --> 01:11:06.920
them at the entrance of the house, which was number forty- two to

879
01:11:08.520 --> 01:11:13.239
facilitate the location. The move was
somewhat exhausting, but the excitement of having

880
01:11:13.359 --> 01:11:17.760
a new home kept us motivated the
first few days in the new house were

881
01:11:17.840 --> 01:11:25.079
quite pleasant. The neighborhood seemed quiet
and we were excited to have more space.

882
01:11:25.600 --> 01:11:30.800
However, in time I began to
notice strange things. One afternoon,

883
01:11:30.119 --> 01:11:35.000
while fixing some things in the garden, I heard a whispering voice again.

884
01:11:35.880 --> 01:11:40.920
I' ll go to the sound
direction and, to my surprise, I

885
01:11:41.000 --> 01:11:43.880
saw an old lady. I realized
that this was the same old woman I

886
01:11:43.960 --> 01:11:48.600
' d seen sleeping through the door
on the walker. This time he was

887
01:11:48.720 --> 01:11:53.840
standing in the garden next to me, looking at me with an enigmatic expression.

888
01:11:54.640 --> 01:11:59.520
I tried to talk to her,
but she kept silent looking at me

889
01:11:59.520 --> 01:12:03.680
and when I approached her she ran
out and I lost her sight turning around

890
01:12:03.680 --> 01:12:08.239
the walker. I didn' t
want to tell my wife or children,

891
01:12:08.800 --> 01:12:12.680
because I didn' t want to
make them nervous for no reason. Besides,

892
01:12:13.239 --> 01:12:15.920
one day in the afternoon, when
I returned from work, I heard

893
01:12:16.199 --> 01:12:20.840
the children say that they had seen
a woman under a tree that had a

894
01:12:21.000 --> 01:12:26.159
rather strange appearance, that offered her
sweets, but it was very rare for

895
01:12:26.239 --> 01:12:30.880
them that the woman was practically inside
the tree, so they better ran to

896
01:12:30.880 --> 01:12:34.199
the house. On one occasion,
my wife visited with her parents, who

897
01:12:34.199 --> 01:12:39.880
lived in Tequila, very close to
the mountain range. Although I got along

898
01:12:39.960 --> 01:12:43.920
well with them, I could not
attend, as I had to go to

899
01:12:43.920 --> 01:12:47.319
work. In addition, I had
just asked for a permit and it was

900
01:12:47.439 --> 01:12:54.560
not possible to take days off,
taking advantage that I would just go to

901
01:12:55.159 --> 01:12:57.600
drink a few beers with some friends
in a very famous cantina in Zapopan Centro.

902
01:12:58.359 --> 01:13:01.239
I' m not much to drink, but on that occasion tiredness and

903
01:13:01.319 --> 01:13:08.119
alcohol almost knocked me down. I
went back to my house walking and practically

904
01:13:08.159 --> 01:13:11.359
holding on to the walls. When
I got to the walker, the alcohol

905
01:13:11.439 --> 01:13:15.880
was already out of my blood and
I was able to walk normally. I

906
01:13:15.920 --> 01:13:19.399
noticed something strange and it is that, although it was not too late,

907
01:13:19.880 --> 01:13:25.920
all the houses were very quiet,
besides having the lights off, if not

908
01:13:26.239 --> 01:13:30.720
because in the same walker there were
several lampposts. I would' ve had

909
01:13:30.840 --> 01:13:33.680
a hard time avoiding tripping. I
don' t know how to describe it,

910
01:13:33.840 --> 01:13:39.600
but it felt as if the atmosphere
had become heavier and kept this feeling

911
01:13:39.720 --> 01:13:43.439
as if something was going to happen. Just when I folded in a corner

912
01:13:43.520 --> 01:13:46.520
in the walker' s side facing
the small park where the weeping willow was.

913
01:13:47.560 --> 01:13:51.760
I felt like someone or something was
chasing me. I began to sweat

914
01:13:53.359 --> 01:13:57.960
cold and just as I was about
to climb the steps that lead to the

915
01:13:57.960 --> 01:14:00.159
part where we lived, I heard
how they spoke to me from the branches

916
01:14:00.159 --> 01:14:04.279
of the tree. Then I saw
a little man swinging his feet in the

917
01:14:04.359 --> 01:14:08.720
air. I didn' t see
his face, but if I heard his

918
01:14:08.880 --> 01:14:13.439
voice in the dark, he told
me that she would go after my children

919
01:14:13.560 --> 01:14:15.159
if I didn' t make a
sacrifice. I myself, paralyzed by fear,

920
01:14:15.399 --> 01:14:21.000
didn' t even try to run. Then the little man threw the

921
01:14:21.119 --> 01:14:26.720
body of a dead kitten that fell
very close to where I was and at

922
01:14:26.800 --> 01:14:31.119
that moment I could finally move and
run to my house. I felt my

923
01:14:31.199 --> 01:14:36.239
heart coming out of my chest and
my face drops of cold sweat. I

924
01:14:36.319 --> 01:14:41.119
didn' t believe what I just
saw was a leprechaun. I felt like

925
01:14:41.239 --> 01:14:44.640
I was going to faint as a
child. I had heard stories about these

926
01:14:44.760 --> 01:14:47.560
kinds of beings, but I never
wanted to believe in them. I thought

927
01:14:47.640 --> 01:14:53.199
it was impossible for such a being
to exist and now that I had seen

928
01:14:53.800 --> 01:14:57.239
and heard it my mind was dying. I felt like I was going crazy

929
01:14:57.359 --> 01:15:00.000
or that creature would appear to me
in any corner. And worst of all,

930
01:15:00.319 --> 01:15:04.039
he had told me that someone would
come for my children, which scared

931
01:15:04.119 --> 01:15:09.840
me even more. I called my
in- laws' house and when they

932
01:15:09.960 --> 01:15:14.079
communicated with my wife, I couldn' t tell her what had just happened,

933
01:15:14.159 --> 01:15:18.239
and it' s that, when
I thought of the words I would

934
01:15:18.359 --> 01:15:21.960
use to tell her, I felt
ridiculous I really didn' t know how

935
01:15:23.079 --> 01:15:27.880
to make her believe me, so
I just asked her how they were and

936
01:15:27.960 --> 01:15:28.439
I lied to her that I was
fine, even though my voice was shaking.

937
01:15:28.960 --> 01:15:30.439
I hung him up fast. I
went to bed, but I couldn

938
01:15:30.560 --> 01:15:34.199
' t sleep in my room.
I had a window facing the street and

939
01:15:34.600 --> 01:15:38.800
the next day, after work,
I went to my house and once there

940
01:15:38.960 --> 01:15:42.760
I threw myself straight into bed,
because the night before I had not slept

941
01:15:42.840 --> 01:15:48.479
anything and felt the brain made mush. I was woken up by a few

942
01:15:48.479 --> 01:15:53.079
knocks on the window. I woke
up confused, because everything was already dark.

943
01:15:53.880 --> 01:15:57.439
I turned on the light in my
room and took a look out the

944
01:15:57.439 --> 01:16:01.479
window. At this point I still
did not remember my incident the night before,

945
01:16:02.279 --> 01:16:05.760
and I had convinced myself that what
I experienced was a delusion due to

946
01:16:05.880 --> 01:16:12.680
alcohol. So, when I saw
the strange old lady carrying a doll of

947
01:16:12.800 --> 01:16:15.640
those who sold in the center,
I think they called them elves, I

948
01:16:15.720 --> 01:16:19.279
was scared to death. I told
the old lady to stay away from my

949
01:16:19.399 --> 01:16:23.520
house that I didn' t want
to see her hanging around me. In

950
01:16:23.640 --> 01:16:29.399
that the woman laughed and exposed a
completely rotten denture and then threw that doll

951
01:16:29.520 --> 01:16:36.720
in her arms and then ran out. At that point I looked at the

952
01:16:36.760 --> 01:16:42.479
part of the garden where he threw
the doll. To my surprise, the

953
01:16:42.560 --> 01:16:46.359
doll wasn' t in that,
I lit the lamp at the entrance and

954
01:16:46.399 --> 01:16:49.920
when I looked towards the walker,
I saw the silhouette of a being no

955
01:16:50.039 --> 01:16:55.119
more than a meter high. The
silhouette moved quickly between the shadows and,

956
01:16:55.760 --> 01:17:00.680
although it could not clearly distinguish its
features, it could feel its malevolent presence.

957
01:17:00.479 --> 01:17:04.079
Fear took over me and I knew
I couldn' t just stand there

958
01:17:04.159 --> 01:17:08.640
and do nothing. Then I started
praying and I got out. A Bible

959
01:17:08.720 --> 01:17:12.600
that I always keep in a bureau
next to my bed. This brought me

960
01:17:12.720 --> 01:17:17.920
some calm, so I could sleep
normally. The next day I picked up

961
01:17:18.000 --> 01:17:23.000
my family and, before I went
to work, I told my wife not

962
01:17:23.079 --> 01:17:27.279
to let the children out that she
wouldn' t ask me why, because

963
01:17:27.439 --> 01:17:30.479
I was better off not knowing it. That afternoon, when I returned,

964
01:17:31.039 --> 01:17:34.640
I found my wife very nervous.
He told me that one of the children

965
01:17:35.199 --> 01:17:40.600
had been attacked by a leprechaun near
the tree. When I saw the boy

966
01:17:40.640 --> 01:17:45.359
I found that his arm showed a
terrible bite of tiny size. Then I

967
01:17:45.399 --> 01:17:48.920
encouraged myself to tell her about my
encounters with that creature and agreed to move

968
01:17:48.920 --> 01:17:51.279
out of the house. Luckily,
I bought a house I paid for.

969
01:17:53.159 --> 01:17:57.720
Sometimes I remember my encounter with that
creature and my mind makes me feel insecure,

970
01:17:58.319 --> 01:18:03.720
because I think that at any time
or anywhere I can meet a goblin

971
01:18:03.840 --> 01:18:09.199
or a witch again, I would
have liked to know why the witch and

972
01:18:09.319 --> 01:18:13.359
the goblin were stalking us. Sometimes
I think that house was linked to that

973
01:18:13.399 --> 01:18:26.920
witch' s story. My cat
caught a goblin. I' ve always

974
01:18:27.319 --> 01:18:30.239
felt a huge taste for cats,
not just for cats, but for all

975
01:18:30.439 --> 01:18:35.880
kinds of cats. I love tigers, lions, panthers, jaguars, among

976
01:18:36.000 --> 01:18:42.720
others. I like that I didn' t share with my parents, because

977
01:18:42.800 --> 01:18:45.279
my dad was allergic to cat hair, as well as he liked dogs better.

978
01:18:46.279 --> 01:18:50.439
Still, they always let me have
a pet cat. As long as

979
01:18:50.920 --> 01:18:57.239
I took responsibility for him. I
had several cats, but because of fate,

980
01:18:57.479 --> 01:19:01.319
they died shortly after being adopted.
And it' s just that cats

981
01:19:01.479 --> 01:19:06.039
are too sensitive to health. My
father was a teacher at the University of

982
01:19:06.479 --> 01:19:11.640
Colombia and my mother was a veterinary
doctor. One day we moved into an

983
01:19:11.760 --> 01:19:16.039
old house, but with many rooms. During the first week we lived there

984
01:19:16.600 --> 01:19:21.079
we heard a little cat crying in
the garage under my father' s truck.

985
01:19:21.960 --> 01:19:26.560
This happened for about three days until
one day my mother realized that it

986
01:19:26.640 --> 01:19:31.319
was a little kitten that had been
cut off part of the tail. My

987
01:19:31.399 --> 01:19:35.039
mother couldn' t leave him on
the street, so she put him in

988
01:19:35.039 --> 01:19:39.760
the house. Then he healed the
tail himself, which he thought was fractured,

989
01:19:40.520 --> 01:19:44.119
because the cat, instead of walking
it up, lowered it between its

990
01:19:44.239 --> 01:19:47.760
hind legs. Actually, I fell
in love with the cat because it had

991
01:19:47.800 --> 01:19:53.680
a rather rare color pattern, it
was grey, with black specks, had

992
01:19:53.840 --> 01:19:58.359
the hind legs, too big yellow
eyes and the face of few friends.

993
01:19:59.119 --> 01:20:02.279
At first, she was pretty wild, but once she got used to the

994
01:20:02.359 --> 01:20:08.000
house, she became fond of me. I called him Byron because he reminded

995
01:20:08.039 --> 01:20:11.920
me of one of my favorite poets. My mother said that the little animal

996
01:20:12.000 --> 01:20:16.520
did not look like a domestic cat, but a wild one, this because

997
01:20:16.760 --> 01:20:20.319
of its physical and behavioral constitution.
My father denied it. I was telling

998
01:20:20.520 --> 01:20:25.760
him I was in error and there
was no problem if we adopted the cat.

999
01:20:26.640 --> 01:20:30.039
My room was on the ground floor
and even though I wanted Byron to

1000
01:20:30.159 --> 01:20:35.680
sleep with me, my parents forbade
it because they said it was harmful to

1001
01:20:35.680 --> 01:20:41.199
sleep with animals, as cat hairs
got into my respiratory system, causing problems

1002
01:20:41.319 --> 01:20:45.680
in the long run. I don' t know at what point I started

1003
01:20:45.720 --> 01:20:50.239
presenting a series of pretty scary nightmares. It all started out as a simple

1004
01:20:50.239 --> 01:20:56.159
dream. I saw a little creature, hairy open the window, then go

1005
01:20:56.239 --> 01:21:00.600
in and throw away all my toys, draw a six- pointed star on

1006
01:21:00.680 --> 01:21:03.680
my blackboard and then go through it. Seconds later he appeared again and tried

1007
01:21:03.840 --> 01:21:09.359
to get in my mouth and then
enter my brain, where I began to

1008
01:21:09.439 --> 01:21:15.199
try to possess my body. I
woke up suddenly so scared that I was

1009
01:21:15.199 --> 01:21:18.399
screaming desperate. Unfortunately, the house
was so big and my parents slept on

1010
01:21:18.439 --> 01:21:24.159
the second floor until the last quarter, so they couldn' t hear my

1011
01:21:24.159 --> 01:21:27.720
screams. I turned on the light. I barely realized relieved that everything was

1012
01:21:27.880 --> 01:21:33.680
a nightmare. I barely managed to
calm down when I realized that not everything

1013
01:21:33.840 --> 01:21:39.560
had been the work of a dream, because on my blackboard was still drawn

1014
01:21:39.680 --> 01:21:43.760
that damn five- pointed star,
just like everything in my room was lying.

1015
01:21:44.960 --> 01:21:48.199
I went immediately to my parents'
room to tell them what happened and

1016
01:21:48.279 --> 01:21:53.239
they both accompanied me to see what
was going on. They looked at the

1017
01:21:53.319 --> 01:21:56.399
disaster in my room and the drawing, which, by the way, was

1018
01:21:56.479 --> 01:22:00.600
very badly done and was barely perceptible. The reaction of my parent steps was

1019
01:22:00.840 --> 01:22:03.600
not to believe me. I was
told that I was being suggested by my

1020
01:22:04.000 --> 01:22:09.800
nightmare, that one thing was nightmares
and another thing that I tried to justify

1021
01:22:09.920 --> 01:22:14.399
my idleness because of her. I
really felt bad because my parents didn'

1022
01:22:14.479 --> 01:22:16.880
t believe me, but in part
they were right. He could also be

1023
01:22:16.960 --> 01:22:23.840
suffering from sleepwalking. My parents used
to be very logical people, they didn

1024
01:22:23.920 --> 01:22:28.359
' t believe in anything and they
always wanted an explanation for everything. This

1025
01:22:28.439 --> 01:22:32.359
caused me to have problems with them
during adolescence, as I was always a

1026
01:22:32.439 --> 01:22:36.800
lover of paranormal subjects, but that' s another story. The point is

1027
01:22:36.840 --> 01:22:43.199
that Beyron always started to be with
me and always grunted when I was near

1028
01:22:43.279 --> 01:22:46.800
the blackboard in my room. He
also began to behave very aggressively with any

1029
01:22:46.880 --> 01:22:50.840
other animal that crossed him across the
street. He even killed a Chihuahuan dog,

1030
01:22:51.279 --> 01:22:56.279
which got us into trouble with neighbors
demanding that the cat be sacrificed,

1031
01:22:56.960 --> 01:23:00.239
because they, like my mother,
thought it was a wild cat and not

1032
01:23:00.239 --> 01:23:09.479
one of domestic origin. I loved
my cat and preferred to keep him locked

1033
01:23:09.560 --> 01:23:14.279
up to avoid more trouble. My
nightmares, on the other hand, continued

1034
01:23:14.399 --> 01:23:18.920
to be always the same a little
anthropomorphic hairy creature. This creature pulled out

1035
01:23:19.039 --> 01:23:24.479
his tongue as if he tried to
mock me. He also danced pirouettes,

1036
01:23:24.760 --> 01:23:29.119
causing me to enter a state of
panic. Then he came to me and

1037
01:23:29.199 --> 01:23:32.720
licked the cold sweat on my face. One day in broad daylight, I

1038
01:23:32.720 --> 01:23:39.199
heard a sound between the walls of
my room, believing it was a rat

1039
01:23:39.319 --> 01:23:45.680
or a mouse, took a broom
and hit the wall hard. Then I

1040
01:23:45.720 --> 01:23:49.920
heard a little choking scream that could
not be produced by any rodent. Then

1041
01:23:50.079 --> 01:23:56.319
I heard as if someone recited a
prayer, but the voice was so dim

1042
01:23:56.399 --> 01:24:00.800
that I could barely perceive it.
In that I saw the same creature of

1043
01:24:00.880 --> 01:24:06.520
my nightmares running towards the window.
I was petrified, though I only saw

1044
01:24:06.640 --> 01:24:11.359
it from the back. It was
enough to see that this creature was not

1045
01:24:11.479 --> 01:24:15.399
a projection of my unconscious, for
it was identical to that of my dreams.

1046
01:24:15.800 --> 01:24:18.560
The back and feet were covered by
hair, but looking at it more

1047
01:24:18.640 --> 01:24:23.560
in detail, I noticed that these
hairs were like some kind of clothing,

1048
01:24:23.880 --> 01:24:28.520
for both the feet and the hands
had no hair at all. The creature

1049
01:24:28.640 --> 01:24:32.319
opened the window and jumped into the
street. Seconds later I heard Byron perform

1050
01:24:32.399 --> 01:24:38.119
a rather aggressive sound. He was
like a grunt, but stronger. Then

1051
01:24:38.199 --> 01:24:42.640
he squeaked and ran into the house. I went after him and noticed that

1052
01:24:42.800 --> 01:24:46.039
he had a wound on one of
his front legs. My mother took care

1053
01:24:46.039 --> 01:24:49.199
of him. The wound looked like
it was made with some kind of knife.

1054
01:24:50.680 --> 01:24:55.159
Another thing I noticed is that the
cat had the plants on its legs

1055
01:24:55.760 --> 01:25:00.079
entirely black. Another trait my mother
said was very similar to a kind of

1056
01:25:00.239 --> 01:25:08.239
wild African cat known as a skater
cat. Then he showed me a picture

1057
01:25:08.359 --> 01:25:11.840
and a video. I didn'
t have any more doubts that our barium

1058
01:25:11.920 --> 01:25:15.319
wasn' t a normal cat.
His wound was very strange, but as

1059
01:25:15.399 --> 01:25:18.880
a result of that accident, his
behavior became more strange. He wouldn'

1060
01:25:19.039 --> 01:25:21.560
t leave me alone and if they
wouldn' t let him stay in my

1061
01:25:21.560 --> 01:25:26.399
room. He got aggressive. I
kept banging on my door or my window.

1062
01:25:27.520 --> 01:25:32.119
As the case may be, my
nightmares stopped whenever Byron slept with me.

1063
01:25:32.760 --> 01:25:36.720
Several nights it was my turn to
see him in a guard position looking

1064
01:25:36.800 --> 01:25:40.640
either outside the window or at the
blackboard. My parents finally agreed to have

1065
01:25:40.720 --> 01:25:45.960
Byron sleep with me, because all
the previous times he stayed, he would

1066
01:25:45.319 --> 01:25:50.199
sneak him in. In the end, my parents also began to notice strange

1067
01:25:50.279 --> 01:25:54.840
things in the house. For example, one day my father was carrying out

1068
01:25:54.960 --> 01:25:59.479
a school planning out of nowhere,
he lost all his feathers and feathers.

1069
01:26:00.840 --> 01:26:04.439
The same thing happened to my mother
with her recipes blog. I even heard

1070
01:26:04.520 --> 01:26:10.920
them secretly talking that they had seen
strange things in the house that, although

1071
01:26:10.960 --> 01:26:14.439
they had difficulty accepting it, they
believed that a goblin lived in the house.

1072
01:26:15.039 --> 01:26:17.159
When they saw me coming in,
they kept quiet. One day,

1073
01:26:17.279 --> 01:26:23.079
my parents took out pizza and rented
movies. We threw ourselves on the mat

1074
01:26:23.119 --> 01:26:26.000
in the living room. About eleven
o' clock at night. We began

1075
01:26:26.119 --> 01:26:30.880
to hear Byron grunt in a very
strange way in the courtyard. We went

1076
01:26:30.960 --> 01:26:34.439
out to see what was happening my
father turned on the light and in that

1077
01:26:34.560 --> 01:26:39.640
we all saw the goblin, which
had in his hands a huge kitchen knife.

1078
01:26:40.319 --> 01:26:43.119
Byron, on the other hand,
bufababa and was in attack position.

1079
01:26:44.239 --> 01:26:47.760
The goblin strikes first, but Byron
dodged it with all his agility. Then,

1080
01:26:48.199 --> 01:26:51.800
taking by surprise, the leprechaun fell
on the knife of a couple of

1081
01:26:51.880 --> 01:26:58.479
paws. Then the goblin squealed and
became paralyzed, while Byron opened his mouth

1082
01:26:58.600 --> 01:27:02.199
and caught him in his tusks.
At that time I had no doubt that

1083
01:27:02.279 --> 01:27:06.880
Byron had a wild origin, as
he tore him to pieces of meat that,

1084
01:27:08.239 --> 01:27:15.439
in an unexplainable way, burned before
our eyes. Byron was slow to

1085
01:27:15.439 --> 01:27:18.439
calm down, for even when he
had finished with his enemy, he continued

1086
01:27:18.520 --> 01:27:23.119
to snort his hair erect for a
while. From then on, things calmed

1087
01:27:23.199 --> 01:27:27.319
down in the house, although we
did not last long living there, as

1088
01:27:27.680 --> 01:27:32.520
my father acquired an apartment and ended
up moving there. Byron lived with us

1089
01:27:32.600 --> 01:27:38.439
many years and after a formal study, it was determined that although it was

1090
01:27:38.640 --> 01:27:45.520
not entirely a wild cat, it
was a mixture between the two accounts.
