1
00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:09.599
My grandmother was a horrible woman.
Since I have used reason and memories of
2
00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:14.679
my childhood, I have always remembered
my grandmother as a cruel woman and one
3
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:19.320
of the main reasons that affirm it
is that it has always been known that
4
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:24.280
she has made use of black magic, and not to help, but rather
5
00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:30.280
for her own benefit and harm others. It was never in his interest to
6
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:34.240
live, of his dark knowledge.
Most of all, he always used them
7
00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:40.119
to hurt those who were in his
way, whoever he was neighbors, friends,
8
00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:45.399
and even his own family. For
the family, she stopped being the
9
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:50.520
grandmother and became the monster we met
today and because of what happened to her
10
00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:54.560
recently, it' s easier to
talk about her without fear of being punished.
11
00:00:56.119 --> 00:01:00.560
You could say it all started decades
ago. When I was late grandparents
12
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:04.480
came to live from Colombia to Mexico
in search of a better quality of life.
13
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:11.159
They had been run because of several
national conflicts over the lands and,
14
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:14.719
instead of staying to fight for their
lands, as many did, they took
15
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:19.359
the escape route to another country,
which for several months had to find where
16
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:26.480
to live until they reached Mexico.
In her blood witchcraft was already running,
17
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:30.719
and my great- great- grandmother
was a witch known to read the bones.
18
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:34.079
My great- great- grandfather,
who, unlike his wife, was
19
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:40.239
an ordinary person, was more concerned
about getting a place to live with his
20
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:46.280
two children and always bringing some money. After eight months of walking from one
21
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.599
side to the other, they arrived
in Chiapas, where they met an old
22
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:56.079
lady who took pity on them and
gave them a small home. My great
23
00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:00.680
- great- great- grandfather found
work immediately, which gave them enough sustenance
24
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:06.040
to bring food to the family,
while my great- great- grandmother had
25
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:10.120
little time to make herself known as
the village witch. She gained fame for
26
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:16.759
her bone reading and black witchcraft.
He came to perform clean dark and special
27
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:23.599
prepared works, but particularly he had
an incredible ability with the bones. The
28
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:28.520
rules were simple. She could read
the future and ask for advice from dark
29
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:34.159
beings through the bones she had kept. A client arrived and when she asked
30
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:38.560
for a favor or advice, the
great- grandmother threw her bones on a
31
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:43.800
black carpet and, according to their
position, she interpreted the answer, which
32
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:50.000
was always accurate. All this,
great- great- grandmother was standing in
33
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:53.479
front of her children. They were
always witnesses of the occult that his mother
34
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:55.599
performed. It was in this way
that, over the years, the knowledge
35
00:02:55.800 --> 00:03:04.680
of great- grandmother was transferred to
them who developed these skills. This is
36
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:08.520
where the road was divided into two. My grandfather uncle decided to choose to
37
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:13.960
follow in his father' s footsteps, forgetting the black magic that ran in
38
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:19.280
the family' s blood. He
looked for a job, found a partner
39
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:23.400
and made a family and, as
soon as he could live elsewhere and no
40
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:27.439
one saw him again, let alone
heard from him. Unlike her sister,
41
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:30.520
whom she is my grandmother today,
she kept all the knowledge inherited from her
42
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:35.800
mother and, instead of using all
this black magic as a means of living,
43
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:43.199
she decided to use it for her
own benefit. One of the first
44
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:47.479
manifestations of my grandmother' s power
was against a young man who was quite
45
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:52.879
attractive. Many women liked him as
much as my grandmother, but he was
46
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:57.280
in love with someone else. My
grandmother, who was not in the interest
47
00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:01.479
of the young man, did a
special job for him, created a homemade
48
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:06.719
fetish, used a potato covered in
honey and mud which wrapped in a black
49
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:12.039
cloth and with the use of pins, stuck them in the potato, which
50
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:15.400
ended up buried in the courtyard of
her house on a full moon night.
51
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:19.279
As the days passed, the young
man woke up dead in the middle of
52
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:24.240
the road with a swollen face.
It was said that it was the bees
53
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:28.879
that had bitten him, causing a
terrible allergy, or at least, that
54
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:32.720
was the version that was circulating.
The reality was different. My grandmother,
55
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:38.199
with the use of the fetish,
caused the bees to approach the young man
56
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:41.759
and not let him rest until he
was left without life. It was in
57
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:46.199
that way that rumor began to circulate
in the village about my grandmother' s
58
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:49.959
powers. People knew that my great
grandmother was a bearer of black magic,
59
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:56.480
but they did not know the magnitude
of the strength and power her daughter had
60
00:04:56.560 --> 00:05:00.879
and how she used it In the
end no one dared to judge my grandmother
61
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:04.920
for that crime against the young man, because they were not encouraged to do
62
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:11.040
so. Grandma was very stubborn about
the black magic her mother used. He
63
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:15.879
always asked for the bones he used
for his mother' s work. They
64
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:20.120
were denied all along, for my
great- great- grandmother was aware of
65
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:25.360
the enormous power her daughter contained.
He swore he' d never give them
66
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:30.079
to you. But the time passed
and the day my great- great-
67
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:33.360
grandmother was on her deathbed, she
asked her daughter to promise her not to
68
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:39.160
use black magic for her own benefit
and not to use it to harm others.
69
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:44.040
But she, as long as she
didn' t upset her, lied
70
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:48.399
to her that she would. Minutes
later, the great- great- grandmother
71
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:51.120
passed away, which my grandmother did
later with her mother' s body.
72
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:57.000
She has no forgiveness from God rather
than burying her or incinerating her, as
73
00:05:57.079 --> 00:06:01.519
suggested by the priest of the Community, she indicated that she should be buried
74
00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:04.319
without a box in the courtyard of
her house. After a year, Grandma
75
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:11.360
extracted what was left of her mother. Pure bones. He performed a ritual
76
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:16.639
so that he could use them as
a means of using their black magic and
77
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:19.720
be able to use them today.
In that house it is said that in
78
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:25.360
the courtyard, in the middle of
the night you hear the lament of an
79
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:29.519
old woman and who comes to investigate
you can run into a woman with translucent
80
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:33.360
body in the middle of the courtyard, just over the place where you buried
81
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:38.839
half- grandmother. My grandmother acquired
the fame of the witch of the village
82
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:43.920
and at the same time the nickname
of the new Great Witch. There were
83
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:47.720
always people asking for their services and
she always refused to give them to them.
84
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:53.079
There were important people, including government
and powerful people, asking for favors,
85
00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:59.439
but she always refused. He was
offered numerous amounts of money and when
86
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:03.720
this happened, he was threatened with
death, even with a gun in his
87
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:08.079
hand pointing at his head. Those
who thought of carrying out these acts of
88
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:14.040
threat always disappeared the next day and
no one knew about them anymore and remained
89
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:18.319
in oblivion at night. In the
sky appeared a ball of fire circulating throughout
90
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:24.319
the town. The terrified people were
hiding in their homes, for they feared
91
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:29.560
for their good people who did not
hide, disappeared and did not appear again
92
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:33.000
or, namely, of them.
The fireball always faded into the darkest of
93
00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:39.959
the woods. No doubt, people
started accusing my grandmother. It was when
94
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:45.680
she began to retaliate against the people
through her black magic. It caused the
95
00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:48.519
people' s water to change its
flavor. If you took it, you
96
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:55.720
wouldn' t quench your thirst It
wasn' t long before the village was
97
00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:59.839
abandoned as a result of Grandma.
Being alone, my grandmother decided to move
98
00:07:59.879 --> 00:08:03.199
to another place further north, where
she and her black magic had not yet
99
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:09.079
been heard. In this way he
arrived in the town of San Cristóbal,
100
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:13.680
a place where his life would change. Even though my grandmother was a bad
101
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:18.519
person. There was someone she fell
in love with in San Cristóbal, who,
102
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:22.879
luckily, her love was reciprocated or
at least that was told. He
103
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:28.240
was a young man named Francis,
with whom he joined by free union a
104
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:33.720
few months after he had met.
It was since then that they formed a
105
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:37.080
family. They had two children,
of which the eldest daughter is my mother.
106
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:43.200
My grandmother tried to stay anonymous for
a while if there were people who
107
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:48.840
still recognized her and kept away from
her. One afternoon, a man went
108
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:52.600
looking for my grandmother to ask for
a job against someone in the government.
109
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:58.840
My mother tells me that when she
saw the guy, it caught her eye.
110
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:03.600
One of his teeth shone like the
same gold my grandmother. Like he
111
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:05.720
always refused to do you a favor. The man didn' t say anything.
112
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:11.200
He just turned around and retired from
the house. A couple of days
113
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:16.519
later, in the morning he was
found. My grandfather appeared dead hanging from
114
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:20.159
a tree. For my grandmother it
was the worst thing that could have happened
115
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:24.240
to her. They had killed her
husband and left her alone with her two
116
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:31.360
children. She was bewildered because,
even though she always consulted her mother'
117
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:35.200
s bones to know her future,
she was never warned of this event.
118
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:41.519
My grandmother was furious again. He
used the bones he took from his mother
119
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:46.279
' s grave to tell her who
it was and how it had happened.
120
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:52.639
He performed the ritual, took the
bones from his right hand and threw them
121
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:56.720
into the black carpet where he did
his readings. My grandmother quickly interpreted the
122
00:09:56.759 --> 00:10:01.639
result. The bones indicate to him
that he had been a person with a
123
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:07.879
gold tooth whom he quickly remembered as
the subject who had denied his services.
124
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:11.879
A few days ago, she was
willing to take revenge on that person.
125
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:18.519
Grandma wasn' t a person asking
others for help. She decided to take
126
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:22.720
control of this problem by her own
hand. It was in that way that
127
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:26.600
my grandmother began to dig into every
canteen she found. For some reason,
128
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:31.360
the bones hadn' t told him
exactly where he was. It was just
129
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:37.320
an approximate. She kept in mind
the person who had asked her for help.
130
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:41.320
He didn' t want to be
forgotten what he looked like until he
131
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:43.600
found him in the village' s
last canteen. He was a guy named
132
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:48.600
Adrian, famous for getting into trouble, because of money and seeing the government
133
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:54.960
for so many loans he applied for. My grandmother waited until the guy came
134
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:58.600
out of the canteen and she came
up just to whisper something in her ear.
135
00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:05.840
Grandpa' s funeral was attended by
his family, close friends and friends.
136
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:09.639
My grandmother didn' t invite anyone
close to her. The only thing
137
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:15.960
he had in his family back then
was Grandpa and his two daughters. This
138
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:20.919
did not stop Grandma from making a
good hostess and serving dinner to all those
139
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:26.679
who went to show their condolences.
He prepared a pork stew, one of
140
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:33.039
the best people ate in his life. There were even those who repeated dish,
141
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:37.279
but curiously, my grandmother did not
let her children taste a single bite.
142
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:43.159
As much as they asked. She
told them it wasn' t for
143
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:48.039
them. The whole stew was finished
to the last drop and in the last
144
00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:52.480
dish is where one of grandfather'
s friends met with what seemed to be
145
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:58.840
a gold tooth. From that night
forward, Grandma would change forever in San
146
00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:03.639
Cristóbal. Drián was never seen again, either in the canteen or in the
147
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:07.919
surrounding area. It was as if
the earth had swallowed it up or,
148
00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:15.600
rather, the people themselves. My
grandmother always denied that she knew him and
149
00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:18.720
claimed that someone else had done him
a job. Obviously, she was lying.
150
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:24.519
Grandma left town with her two children
almost immediately. He didn' t
151
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:28.879
tell anyone where he was going to
go or what road he would take.
152
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:33.879
He just disappeared in the town of
San Cristóbal. A curse remained and for
153
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:39.159
more than twenty years not a single
drop of rain. He fell slowly into
154
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:45.840
a forgotten village. Actually, my
grandmother and her children wandered for a while,
155
00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:50.759
but they managed to find a home
in the city of Toluca, a
156
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:56.399
place where the bones had sent her
to start her life again. There he
157
00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:01.759
met another man who offered him a
home and food. He ended up in
158
00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:05.000
love with her and together they formed
a small family with the two children.
159
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:11.000
For a while, things were going
well, or at least it seemed that
160
00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:16.879
the dark times when my grandmother used
black magic were already gone. But everything
161
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:22.360
changed when an old inhabitant of the
village from which she had fled recognized her.
162
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:26.600
In the municipal market. My grandmother
met my mother shopping for food,
163
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:33.919
when suddenly a guy pointed out her
terrified. When she saw her, she
164
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:37.399
started screaming at her witch in front
of everyone. This drew people' s
165
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:41.799
attention. The guy kept repeating to
her that she was a killer witch.
166
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:46.639
He shouted several times to the police
to stop her, but this didn'
167
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:52.480
t seem to matter to Grandma.
She kept quiet at all times and doing
168
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:56.159
her shopping. So, once he
finished buying what he wanted, he approached
169
00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:03.840
the guy. She took the subject' s hand pretending to want to seduce
170
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:07.679
him and the man suddenly remained silent
could not mention any words. No matter
171
00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:13.200
how hard he tried. My grandmother
suddenly bit the lord' s hand.
172
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:16.120
The man tried to scream, but
the voice didn' t come out.
173
00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:20.639
She shook her hand hard from my
grandmother' s hands until she managed to
174
00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:24.440
get it off her. The subject' s hand was left with his teeth
175
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:28.759
marked. She warned him that if
he saw her again or if he talked
176
00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:33.320
about her with someone else or even
said his name, some stranger or acquaintance
177
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:37.600
his hand, he would rot.
Suddenly the subject was able to speak his
178
00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:43.360
voice back, insulted him again and
went to accuse her with the authorities for
179
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:48.159
the assault. My mother says the
next few days they went to the market.
180
00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:52.080
People were walking away from Grandma.
During those days they met again with
181
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:58.679
the subject and he already had a
rotten arm. It was full of larvae.
182
00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:01.120
As the days passed, the man
appeared dead on the sidewalk in front
183
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:07.960
of the municipal market. The terror
and darkness emanating from my grandmother seemed to
184
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:13.960
affect those close to her. Grandma
seemed unstoppable. If someone harmed him,
185
00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:20.759
he had a unique ability to inflict
harm, suffering, and destruction. And
186
00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:24.559
the bad thing about all this is
that his power grew over time. For
187
00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:30.639
a long time, she thought this
darkness would never reach her family. The
188
00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:35.519
fate that awaited us already had us
trapped. For a long time. My
189
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:41.000
mother grew up and met my father. Today, she was tired of everything
190
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:45.559
she had lived next to Grandma,
so she looked for the fastest way to
191
00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:50.840
get away from there. He ended
up hanging out with my father and they
192
00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:56.039
moved in together. This didn'
t seem like it to Grandma, so
193
00:15:56.120 --> 00:16:00.240
she always had my mother threatened in
case someone came and found out about the
194
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:06.639
use of black magic in the family. My mother endured this warning for years
195
00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:11.720
and told no one the terrible secret. I was born in' 80.
196
00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:17.399
At that time, Grandma could barely
walk and she couldn' t leave the
197
00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:21.840
house so easily. When he found
out about my existence, he wanted to
198
00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:25.519
see me. My mother thought about
it a lot, but at the end
199
00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:30.960
of the day, she introduced me
to her condition was that I would never
200
00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:33.080
let her carry me in my arms
or take care of me. She preferred
201
00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:38.080
to keep our relationship with Grandma at
bay. Years passed. Grandma got older
202
00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:44.200
and little was known about her.
That' s when my mother had the
203
00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:47.679
courage to tell me what I just
told you. I was old enough to
204
00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:53.440
understand things and make decisions. She
trusted me with the stories she lived with
205
00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:59.240
Grandma. I realized the horror my
grandmother came to cause or at least what
206
00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:07.599
they got me to say. Then
Grandma became seriously ill inevitably. We had
207
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:11.160
to go visit her. My mother
asked me to keep my mouth shut at
208
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:17.119
all times and not look her in
the eye. He told me to always
209
00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:22.039
keep my eyes on the floor for
someone my age was creepy. I was
210
00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:25.160
afraid for my life. After hearing
all the evils my grandmother had done,
211
00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:30.119
but the most important rule was that
she didn' t mention anything my mother
212
00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:34.319
had told me. Upon arriving at
the house, I realized that the atmosphere
213
00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:41.039
was totally different from that felt in
other places. It was heavy and full
214
00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:45.319
of moisture. On the bed was
my grandmother, who wept in pain.
215
00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:51.319
Realizing that her daughter had visited her, she asked her to talk to her.
216
00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:56.400
I listened to my mother keep her
eyes on the floor. All I
217
00:17:56.440 --> 00:18:02.480
did was listen My grandmother appears to
be bearing the blame for so many evils
218
00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:07.279
that someone had apparently finally done justice
and my grandmother' s life was in
219
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:14.039
danger. Everything indicated that there was
nothing else to do. He asked my
220
00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:18.920
mother a favor, begged her to
pass on her power, but my mother
221
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:23.200
refused. In the face of such
a situation, she had no intention of
222
00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:29.640
handling black magic, let alone putting
us at risk. Grandma had a black
223
00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:33.599
briefcase on the side of her pillow
and brought it up to her lap and
224
00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:37.599
pulled the skull out of my great- great- grandmother. Then he pulled
225
00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:42.680
some bones out of what I think
were from his hand or foot was all
226
00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:48.079
he had left after so many years. She asked my mother to take them,
227
00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:53.079
but she refused. Again. My
mother didn' t want anything to
228
00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:57.559
do with black magic or anything.
Esoteric, but my grandmother started crying,
229
00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:03.319
telling her I snore would die.
But noting that this did not convince my
230
00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:11.759
mother, Grandma behaved grotesquely, grunting
and spitting. She seemed to be someone
231
00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:17.480
else as if an evil being had
come into her and threatened her by telling
232
00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:22.039
her that if she ignored her,
her children would pay the consequences. Still,
233
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:26.880
my mother stood firm in her decision. She said good- bye to
234
00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:30.720
her mother forever and asked me to
say good- bye to Grandma. That
235
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:33.720
' s what I did. We
got out of the room. They only
236
00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:38.279
sounded like Grandma' s screams and
grunts moved away as she did. We
237
00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:42.079
were running out of the house.
After that, my mother told me more
238
00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:47.920
horrible things that my grandmother had done
in case I had any doubts about the
239
00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:52.240
person she was and because it was
necessary to end that cycle of evil.
240
00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:56.559
That' s how my mother asked
me to please forget that my grandmother had
241
00:19:56.599 --> 00:20:00.480
existed or that at least I didn' t talk about her with someone.
242
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:07.759
We buried Grandma along with her mother' s skull, we couldn' t
243
00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:11.480
get her to let him go.
It looked like he' d held on
244
00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:14.759
to the bones and skull. That
was the last good- bye I gave
245
00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:21.039
Grandma. Written and adapted by the
language of the sorcerer
1
00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:09.599
My grandmother was a horrible woman.
Since I have used reason and memories of
2
00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:14.679
my childhood, I have always remembered
my grandmother as a cruel woman and one
3
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:19.320
of the main reasons that affirm it
is that it has always been known that
4
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:24.280
she has made use of black magic, and not to help, but rather
5
00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:30.280
for her own benefit and harm others. It was never in his interest to
6
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:34.240
live, of his dark knowledge.
Most of all, he always used them
7
00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:40.119
to hurt those who were in his
way, whoever he was neighbors, friends,
8
00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:45.399
and even his own family. For
the family, she stopped being the
9
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:50.520
grandmother and became the monster we met
today and because of what happened to her
10
00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:54.560
recently, it' s easier to
talk about her without fear of being punished.
11
00:00:56.119 --> 00:01:00.560
You could say it all started decades
ago. When I was late grandparents
12
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:04.480
came to live from Colombia to Mexico
in search of a better quality of life.
13
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:11.159
They had been run because of several
national conflicts over the lands and,
14
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:14.719
instead of staying to fight for their
lands, as many did, they took
15
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:19.359
the escape route to another country,
which for several months had to find where
16
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:26.480
to live until they reached Mexico.
In her blood witchcraft was already running,
17
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:30.719
and my great- great- grandmother
was a witch known to read the bones.
18
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:34.079
My great- great- grandfather,
who, unlike his wife, was
19
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:40.239
an ordinary person, was more concerned
about getting a place to live with his
20
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:46.280
two children and always bringing some money. After eight months of walking from one
21
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.599
side to the other, they arrived
in Chiapas, where they met an old
22
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:56.079
lady who took pity on them and
gave them a small home. My great
23
00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:00.680
- great- great- grandfather found
work immediately, which gave them enough sustenance
24
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:06.040
to bring food to the family,
while my great- great- grandmother had
25
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:10.120
little time to make herself known as
the village witch. She gained fame for
26
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:16.759
her bone reading and black witchcraft.
He came to perform clean dark and special
27
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:23.599
prepared works, but particularly he had
an incredible ability with the bones. The
28
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:28.520
rules were simple. She could read
the future and ask for advice from dark
29
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:34.159
beings through the bones she had kept. A client arrived and when she asked
30
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:38.560
for a favor or advice, the
great- grandmother threw her bones on a
31
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:43.800
black carpet and, according to their
position, she interpreted the answer, which
32
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:50.000
was always accurate. All this,
great- great- grandmother was standing in
33
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:53.479
front of her children. They were
always witnesses of the occult that his mother
34
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:55.599
performed. It was in this way
that, over the years, the knowledge
35
00:02:55.800 --> 00:03:04.680
of great- grandmother was transferred to
them who developed these skills. This is
36
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:08.520
where the road was divided into two. My grandfather uncle decided to choose to
37
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:13.960
follow in his father' s footsteps, forgetting the black magic that ran in
38
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:19.280
the family' s blood. He
looked for a job, found a partner
39
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:23.400
and made a family and, as
soon as he could live elsewhere and no
40
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:27.439
one saw him again, let alone
heard from him. Unlike her sister,
41
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:30.520
whom she is my grandmother today,
she kept all the knowledge inherited from her
42
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:35.800
mother and, instead of using all
this black magic as a means of living,
43
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:43.199
she decided to use it for her
own benefit. One of the first
44
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:47.479
manifestations of my grandmother' s power
was against a young man who was quite
45
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:52.879
attractive. Many women liked him as
much as my grandmother, but he was
46
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:57.280
in love with someone else. My
grandmother, who was not in the interest
47
00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:01.479
of the young man, did a
special job for him, created a homemade
48
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:06.719
fetish, used a potato covered in
honey and mud which wrapped in a black
49
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:12.039
cloth and with the use of pins, stuck them in the potato, which
50
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:15.400
ended up buried in the courtyard of
her house on a full moon night.
51
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:19.279
As the days passed, the young
man woke up dead in the middle of
52
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:24.240
the road with a swollen face.
It was said that it was the bees
53
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:28.879
that had bitten him, causing a
terrible allergy, or at least, that
54
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:32.720
was the version that was circulating.
The reality was different. My grandmother,
55
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:38.199
with the use of the fetish,
caused the bees to approach the young man
56
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:41.759
and not let him rest until he
was left without life. It was in
57
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:46.199
that way that rumor began to circulate
in the village about my grandmother' s
58
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:49.959
powers. People knew that my great
grandmother was a bearer of black magic,
59
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:56.480
but they did not know the magnitude
of the strength and power her daughter had
60
00:04:56.560 --> 00:05:00.879
and how she used it In the
end no one dared to judge my grandmother
61
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:04.920
for that crime against the young man, because they were not encouraged to do
62
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:11.040
so. Grandma was very stubborn about
the black magic her mother used. He
63
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:15.879
always asked for the bones he used
for his mother' s work. They
64
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:20.120
were denied all along, for my
great- great- grandmother was aware of
65
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:25.360
the enormous power her daughter contained.
He swore he' d never give them
66
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:30.079
to you. But the time passed
and the day my great- great-
67
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:33.360
grandmother was on her deathbed, she
asked her daughter to promise her not to
68
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:39.160
use black magic for her own benefit
and not to use it to harm others.
69
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:44.040
But she, as long as she
didn' t upset her, lied
70
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:48.399
to her that she would. Minutes
later, the great- great- grandmother
71
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:51.120
passed away, which my grandmother did
later with her mother' s body.
72
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:57.000
She has no forgiveness from God rather
than burying her or incinerating her, as
73
00:05:57.079 --> 00:06:01.519
suggested by the priest of the Community, she indicated that she should be buried
74
00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:04.319
without a box in the courtyard of
her house. After a year, Grandma
75
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:11.360
extracted what was left of her mother. Pure bones. He performed a ritual
76
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:16.639
so that he could use them as
a means of using their black magic and
77
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:19.720
be able to use them today.
In that house it is said that in
78
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:25.360
the courtyard, in the middle of
the night you hear the lament of an
79
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:29.519
old woman and who comes to investigate
you can run into a woman with translucent
80
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:33.360
body in the middle of the courtyard, just over the place where you buried
81
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:38.839
half- grandmother. My grandmother acquired
the fame of the witch of the village
82
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:43.920
and at the same time the nickname
of the new Great Witch. There were
83
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:47.720
always people asking for their services and
she always refused to give them to them.
84
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:53.079
There were important people, including government
and powerful people, asking for favors,
85
00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:59.439
but she always refused. He was
offered numerous amounts of money and when
86
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:03.720
this happened, he was threatened with
death, even with a gun in his
87
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:08.079
hand pointing at his head. Those
who thought of carrying out these acts of
88
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:14.040
threat always disappeared the next day and
no one knew about them anymore and remained
89
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:18.319
in oblivion at night. In the
sky appeared a ball of fire circulating throughout
90
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:24.319
the town. The terrified people were
hiding in their homes, for they feared
91
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:29.560
for their good people who did not
hide, disappeared and did not appear again
92
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:33.000
or, namely, of them.
The fireball always faded into the darkest of
93
00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:39.959
the woods. No doubt, people
started accusing my grandmother. It was when
94
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:45.680
she began to retaliate against the people
through her black magic. It caused the
95
00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:48.519
people' s water to change its
flavor. If you took it, you
96
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:55.720
wouldn' t quench your thirst It
wasn' t long before the village was
97
00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:59.839
abandoned as a result of Grandma.
Being alone, my grandmother decided to move
98
00:07:59.879 --> 00:08:03.199
to another place further north, where
she and her black magic had not yet
99
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:09.079
been heard. In this way he
arrived in the town of San Cristóbal,
100
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:13.680
a place where his life would change. Even though my grandmother was a bad
101
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:18.519
person. There was someone she fell
in love with in San Cristóbal, who,
102
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:22.879
luckily, her love was reciprocated or
at least that was told. He
103
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:28.240
was a young man named Francis,
with whom he joined by free union a
104
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:33.720
few months after he had met.
It was since then that they formed a
105
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:37.080
family. They had two children,
of which the eldest daughter is my mother.
106
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:43.200
My grandmother tried to stay anonymous for
a while if there were people who
107
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:48.840
still recognized her and kept away from
her. One afternoon, a man went
108
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:52.600
looking for my grandmother to ask for
a job against someone in the government.
109
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:58.840
My mother tells me that when she
saw the guy, it caught her eye.
110
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:03.600
One of his teeth shone like the
same gold my grandmother. Like he
111
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:05.720
always refused to do you a favor. The man didn' t say anything.
112
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:11.200
He just turned around and retired from
the house. A couple of days
113
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:16.519
later, in the morning he was
found. My grandfather appeared dead hanging from
114
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:20.159
a tree. For my grandmother it
was the worst thing that could have happened
115
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:24.240
to her. They had killed her
husband and left her alone with her two
116
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:31.360
children. She was bewildered because,
even though she always consulted her mother'
117
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:35.200
s bones to know her future,
she was never warned of this event.
118
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:41.519
My grandmother was furious again. He
used the bones he took from his mother
119
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:46.279
' s grave to tell her who
it was and how it had happened.
120
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:52.639
He performed the ritual, took the
bones from his right hand and threw them
121
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:56.720
into the black carpet where he did
his readings. My grandmother quickly interpreted the
122
00:09:56.759 --> 00:10:01.639
result. The bones indicate to him
that he had been a person with a
123
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:07.879
gold tooth whom he quickly remembered as
the subject who had denied his services.
124
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:11.879
A few days ago, she was
willing to take revenge on that person.
125
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:18.519
Grandma wasn' t a person asking
others for help. She decided to take
126
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:22.720
control of this problem by her own
hand. It was in that way that
127
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:26.600
my grandmother began to dig into every
canteen she found. For some reason,
128
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:31.360
the bones hadn' t told him
exactly where he was. It was just
129
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:37.320
an approximate. She kept in mind
the person who had asked her for help.
130
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:41.320
He didn' t want to be
forgotten what he looked like until he
131
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:43.600
found him in the village' s
last canteen. He was a guy named
132
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:48.600
Adrian, famous for getting into trouble, because of money and seeing the government
133
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:54.960
for so many loans he applied for. My grandmother waited until the guy came
134
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:58.600
out of the canteen and she came
up just to whisper something in her ear.
135
00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:05.840
Grandpa' s funeral was attended by
his family, close friends and friends.
136
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:09.639
My grandmother didn' t invite anyone
close to her. The only thing
137
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:15.960
he had in his family back then
was Grandpa and his two daughters. This
138
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:20.919
did not stop Grandma from making a
good hostess and serving dinner to all those
139
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:26.679
who went to show their condolences.
He prepared a pork stew, one of
140
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:33.039
the best people ate in his life. There were even those who repeated dish,
141
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:37.279
but curiously, my grandmother did not
let her children taste a single bite.
142
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:43.159
As much as they asked. She
told them it wasn' t for
143
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:48.039
them. The whole stew was finished
to the last drop and in the last
144
00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:52.480
dish is where one of grandfather'
s friends met with what seemed to be
145
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:58.840
a gold tooth. From that night
forward, Grandma would change forever in San
146
00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:03.639
Cristóbal. Drián was never seen again, either in the canteen or in the
147
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:07.919
surrounding area. It was as if
the earth had swallowed it up or,
148
00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:15.600
rather, the people themselves. My
grandmother always denied that she knew him and
149
00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:18.720
claimed that someone else had done him
a job. Obviously, she was lying.
150
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:24.519
Grandma left town with her two children
almost immediately. He didn' t
151
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:28.879
tell anyone where he was going to
go or what road he would take.
152
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:33.879
He just disappeared in the town of
San Cristóbal. A curse remained and for
153
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:39.159
more than twenty years not a single
drop of rain. He fell slowly into
154
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:45.840
a forgotten village. Actually, my
grandmother and her children wandered for a while,
155
00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:50.759
but they managed to find a home
in the city of Toluca, a
156
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:56.399
place where the bones had sent her
to start her life again. There he
157
00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:01.759
met another man who offered him a
home and food. He ended up in
158
00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:05.000
love with her and together they formed
a small family with the two children.
159
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:11.000
For a while, things were going
well, or at least it seemed that
160
00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:16.879
the dark times when my grandmother used
black magic were already gone. But everything
161
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:22.360
changed when an old inhabitant of the
village from which she had fled recognized her.
162
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:26.600
In the municipal market. My grandmother
met my mother shopping for food,
163
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:33.919
when suddenly a guy pointed out her
terrified. When she saw her, she
164
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:37.399
started screaming at her witch in front
of everyone. This drew people' s
165
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:41.799
attention. The guy kept repeating to
her that she was a killer witch.
166
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:46.639
He shouted several times to the police
to stop her, but this didn'
167
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:52.480
t seem to matter to Grandma.
She kept quiet at all times and doing
168
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:56.159
her shopping. So, once he
finished buying what he wanted, he approached
169
00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:03.840
the guy. She took the subject' s hand pretending to want to seduce
170
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:07.679
him and the man suddenly remained silent
could not mention any words. No matter
171
00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:13.200
how hard he tried. My grandmother
suddenly bit the lord' s hand.
172
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:16.120
The man tried to scream, but
the voice didn' t come out.
173
00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:20.639
She shook her hand hard from my
grandmother' s hands until she managed to
174
00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:24.440
get it off her. The subject' s hand was left with his teeth
175
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:28.759
marked. She warned him that if
he saw her again or if he talked
176
00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:33.320
about her with someone else or even
said his name, some stranger or acquaintance
177
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:37.600
his hand, he would rot.
Suddenly the subject was able to speak his
178
00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:43.360
voice back, insulted him again and
went to accuse her with the authorities for
179
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:48.159
the assault. My mother says the
next few days they went to the market.
180
00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:52.080
People were walking away from Grandma.
During those days they met again with
181
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:58.679
the subject and he already had a
rotten arm. It was full of larvae.
182
00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:01.120
As the days passed, the man
appeared dead on the sidewalk in front
183
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:07.960
of the municipal market. The terror
and darkness emanating from my grandmother seemed to
184
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:13.960
affect those close to her. Grandma
seemed unstoppable. If someone harmed him,
185
00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:20.759
he had a unique ability to inflict
harm, suffering, and destruction. And
186
00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:24.559
the bad thing about all this is
that his power grew over time. For
187
00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:30.639
a long time, she thought this
darkness would never reach her family. The
188
00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:35.519
fate that awaited us already had us
trapped. For a long time. My
189
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:41.000
mother grew up and met my father. Today, she was tired of everything
190
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:45.559
she had lived next to Grandma,
so she looked for the fastest way to
191
00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:50.840
get away from there. He ended
up hanging out with my father and they
192
00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:56.039
moved in together. This didn'
t seem like it to Grandma, so
193
00:15:56.120 --> 00:16:00.240
she always had my mother threatened in
case someone came and found out about the
194
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:06.639
use of black magic in the family. My mother endured this warning for years
195
00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:11.720
and told no one the terrible secret. I was born in' 80.
196
00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:17.399
At that time, Grandma could barely
walk and she couldn' t leave the
197
00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:21.840
house so easily. When he found
out about my existence, he wanted to
198
00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:25.519
see me. My mother thought about
it a lot, but at the end
199
00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:30.960
of the day, she introduced me
to her condition was that I would never
200
00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:33.080
let her carry me in my arms
or take care of me. She preferred
201
00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:38.080
to keep our relationship with Grandma at
bay. Years passed. Grandma got older
202
00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:44.200
and little was known about her.
That' s when my mother had the
203
00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:47.679
courage to tell me what I just
told you. I was old enough to
204
00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:53.440
understand things and make decisions. She
trusted me with the stories she lived with
205
00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:59.240
Grandma. I realized the horror my
grandmother came to cause or at least what
206
00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:07.599
they got me to say. Then
Grandma became seriously ill inevitably. We had
207
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:11.160
to go visit her. My mother
asked me to keep my mouth shut at
208
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:17.119
all times and not look her in
the eye. He told me to always
209
00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:22.039
keep my eyes on the floor for
someone my age was creepy. I was
210
00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:25.160
afraid for my life. After hearing
all the evils my grandmother had done,
211
00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:30.119
but the most important rule was that
she didn' t mention anything my mother
212
00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:34.319
had told me. Upon arriving at
the house, I realized that the atmosphere
213
00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:41.039
was totally different from that felt in
other places. It was heavy and full
214
00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:45.319
of moisture. On the bed was
my grandmother, who wept in pain.
215
00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:51.319
Realizing that her daughter had visited her, she asked her to talk to her.
216
00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:56.400
I listened to my mother keep her
eyes on the floor. All I
217
00:17:56.440 --> 00:18:02.480
did was listen My grandmother appears to
be bearing the blame for so many evils
218
00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:07.279
that someone had apparently finally done justice
and my grandmother' s life was in
219
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:14.039
danger. Everything indicated that there was
nothing else to do. He asked my
220
00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:18.920
mother a favor, begged her to
pass on her power, but my mother
221
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:23.200
refused. In the face of such
a situation, she had no intention of
222
00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:29.640
handling black magic, let alone putting
us at risk. Grandma had a black
223
00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:33.599
briefcase on the side of her pillow
and brought it up to her lap and
224
00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:37.599
pulled the skull out of my great- great- grandmother. Then he pulled
225
00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:42.680
some bones out of what I think
were from his hand or foot was all
226
00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:48.079
he had left after so many years. She asked my mother to take them,
227
00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:53.079
but she refused. Again. My
mother didn' t want anything to
228
00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:57.559
do with black magic or anything.
Esoteric, but my grandmother started crying,
229
00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:03.319
telling her I snore would die.
But noting that this did not convince my
230
00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:11.759
mother, Grandma behaved grotesquely, grunting
and spitting. She seemed to be someone
231
00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:17.480
else as if an evil being had
come into her and threatened her by telling
232
00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:22.039
her that if she ignored her,
her children would pay the consequences. Still,
233
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:26.880
my mother stood firm in her decision. She said good- bye to
234
00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:30.720
her mother forever and asked me to
say good- bye to Grandma. That
235
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:33.720
' s what I did. We
got out of the room. They only
236
00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:38.279
sounded like Grandma' s screams and
grunts moved away as she did. We
237
00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:42.079
were running out of the house.
After that, my mother told me more
238
00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:47.920
horrible things that my grandmother had done
in case I had any doubts about the
239
00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:52.240
person she was and because it was
necessary to end that cycle of evil.
240
00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:56.559
That' s how my mother asked
me to please forget that my grandmother had
241
00:19:56.599 --> 00:20:00.480
existed or that at least I didn' t talk about her with someone.
242
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:07.759
We buried Grandma along with her mother' s skull, we couldn' t
243
00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:11.480
get her to let him go.
It looked like he' d held on
244
00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:14.759
to the bones and skull. That
was the last good- bye I gave
245
00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:21.039
Grandma. Written and adapted by the
language of the sorcerer
