00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:11.199
I' ll bring him back.
On one occasion I received an invitation from

2
00:00:11.279 --> 00:00:15.320
one of my best friends in high
school, who was getting married and inviting

3
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:20.719
me to her wedding. Basically,
it was three days on the beach,

4
00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:26.000
all paid, so I couldn'
t resist I talked to my sister and

5
00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:30.079
told her it wouldn' t be
possible for me to take care of her

6
00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:32.719
children for those days. She told
me she was fine and wished me a

7
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:37.840
good trip. I packed my things
and left I remember well that my nephews

8
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:41.840
were sad because I was leaving and
they wouldn' t see me in two

9
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:46.640
days, but I tried to reassure
them. The most afflicted was mateo and

10
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:50.240
I promised him that I would try
to bring him some souvenirs from the beach.

11
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:55.679
This made him happy and at least
he stopped crying. Me. I

12
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:59.479
had a great time at the wedding, but while I was on the bus

13
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:03.040
back I got a call from my
sister. At first, the signal was

14
00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:07.079
so bad that I tried to answer
it. This one was cut to the

15
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:11.599
point of answering. I tried calling
her again, but the signal at the

16
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:15.920
time was very bad. I think
it was about an hour before I got

17
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:22.359
another call from her again. At
this point, I was already feeling a

18
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:26.799
little uneasy. It was as if
something within me told me that that call

19
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:32.040
was very important and that it wasn' t good news, but I wasn

20
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:36.079
' t ready for the bomb they
dropped on me. She was already crying

21
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:41.560
and in her cry she managed to
tell me that he was dead. At

22
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:46.359
that moment everything became very blurry for
me. Even though he was trying to

23
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:49.959
give me a little more details,
I couldn' t hear anything. When

24
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:53.359
I got off the bus and went
to my sister' s house, I

25
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:57.799
could understand the situation a little better. Apparently, my sister had resorted to

26
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:02.760
paying other people to take care of
my nephews and she had taken them to

27
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:08.360
the park, but she was not
paying attention to them. Mateo fell into

28
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:15.879
the lake of the park. Needless
to say, the whole family was devastated.

29
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:21.000
I blamed myself internally for this,
as I felt that if it hadn

30
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:25.840
' t been for me and if
I had decided to stay, then maybe

31
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:30.319
Matthew would still be with us.
I went back to my house and my

32
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:35.560
sister and I stopped talking for about
two months. This feeling of guilt that

33
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:38.919
I had reached the point that I
felt that the reason my sister didn'

34
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:45.479
t talk to me was because she
also knew what my fault was and now

35
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:50.400
she hated me. Not only had
I lost my nephew, but also my

36
00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:55.159
sister. That' s why my
surprise was great. When one morning I

37
00:02:55.319 --> 00:03:00.520
woke up and looked at my phone, it was ringing it was my sister.

38
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:05.719
I answered her and she told me
that it had been a long time

39
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:08.879
and that she had to go back
to her work and asked me to take

40
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:14.360
care of her children, since she
did not trust anyone else to be with

41
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:17.919
them. This hurt very much,
as I felt that I had been wrong

42
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:23.400
to speak and that, for obvious
reasons, I was only referring to my

43
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:27.960
niece. But at the time I
didn' t have the strength to correct

44
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:30.960
it and I replied that it was
okay, as I really wanted to see

45
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:36.520
my niece. After that we hung
up and I joined up and went out

46
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:39.439
there. As soon as I got
home, I realized my sister was fine.

47
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:47.199
I mean, she looked happy almost
like nothing happened. I understand there

48
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:51.199
are different ways to deal with grief, but I don' t know.

49
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:55.800
I guess at the time I was
so devastated that that attitude she had even

50
00:03:55.919 --> 00:04:03.000
seemed a little annoying and out of
place. My sister was ready to go

51
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:08.800
to work and only said goodbye to
me just before she walked through the door.

52
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:12.960
He told me again that I was
taking care of my nephews. For

53
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:17.319
a moment, I thought maybe my
sister had gone into some sort of denial,

54
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:23.360
something that is also very common in
mourning. I didn' t say

55
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:27.519
anything about it either. I just
told her I was fine and then she

56
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:31.079
went to my niece' s room
to see what she was doing and I

57
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:36.279
saw that this whole situation was affecting
her a lot, too. She was

58
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:41.160
pale, oblivious and seemed to have
been crying in the last few hours.

59
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:45.360
I approached her, since we hadn' t been able to talk since the

60
00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:50.279
funeral day. I was about to
try to tell him a few words of

61
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:56.279
comfort, when suddenly I realized that
the drawing I was making was weird,

62
00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:00.279
of course you couldn' t quite
interpret it well. One person said taking

63
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:06.600
something out of a dead body by
size and because I had seen how I

64
00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:12.839
drew it before I could know what
it was about killing. She understood that

65
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:17.160
this was also a process through which
children went through and that perhaps it was

66
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:23.639
just a way for her to understand
death. I didn' t tell him

67
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:26.680
anything, I just caressed his hair
and noticed that he was very tangled.

68
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:30.199
I asked him if he wanted me
to brush it. She refused. I

69
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:36.279
replied that this whole situation was very
harsh for everyone. The following were the

70
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:41.639
first words of comfort that came to
mind and I told her to be calm,

71
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:46.279
because I was sure that I killed
was already in a better place.

72
00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:51.680
She looked at me for a moment
and told me that her brother had not

73
00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:58.360
left, that he had returned last
week. At that time I was very

74
00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:02.079
confused and I thought that, like
my sister, she had entered into some

75
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:09.920
sort of denial. I knew that
wasn' t healthy, so trying to

76
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:14.720
get her to understand that her brother
was already gone and that there was no

77
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:18.600
chance of her coming back. I
tried to explain it calmly and with words

78
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:25.639
that I felt she could understand.
She listened carefully until I finished talking,

79
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:30.959
and that' s when she told
me he was coming back. And then

80
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:34.000
he proceeded to tell me a very
strange story. He told me that,

81
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:39.279
after the funeral, his mom locked
herself in his room for three days.

82
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:44.879
Then he went out and asked if
he missed his brother. She said yes,

83
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:48.040
and then her mom told her she
would do everything in her power to

84
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:54.120
bring him back. He also told
me that, after he promised her that,

85
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:59.040
his mom started dating almost every night. Usually, during the first few

86
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:02.959
days, he came back very angry
saying that all people were very incompetent,

87
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:10.800
but suddenly he came to someone who
could help them. She told me that

88
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:15.439
this person went to her house and
that she built a doll from her brother

89
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:19.879
' s stature and also said that
she made it very similar to him alone

90
00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:24.959
and then put on her clothes.
That' s how they got me to

91
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:29.279
kill back at first. Of course
I didn' t believe him. I

92
00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:32.319
understood that this was also very common
in the children' s mourning process.

93
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:38.959
Inventing stories or scenarios of how they
would like things to be was very normal.

94
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:43.120
So, as soon as she said
yes to me, I wanted to

95
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:46.600
see it, I said yes,
because I thought if she couldn' t

96
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:53.040
prove her story, maybe she'
d stop saying it even though she knew

97
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:57.079
this was part of the kids'
grief. At that time I was also

98
00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:01.560
going through my own grief and that
she was saying those things. It hurt.

99
00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:07.560
She smiled from Oreja to Oreja and
told me to go to her brother

100
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:11.879
' s room then, because there
I got up and followed her. While

101
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:16.040
she was turning the knob, I
was about to tell her she was fine.

102
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:20.399
If it wasn' t there.
When I suddenly saw him lying in

103
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:24.920
bed was a doll the exact size
he had killed at the time of his

104
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:30.680
death. He was dressed in his
favorite shirt. But the thing that disturbed

105
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:35.240
me the most was that on the
head of that doll I had hair stuck.

106
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:39.960
It was a lot. I knew
it couldn' t be any locks

107
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:46.120
that my sister had kept for some
reason. Besides that it was identical to

108
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:50.120
the hair of mateo at that time
I refused to recognize it. Obviously,

109
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:54.039
I couldn' t believe how far
my sister' s madness had gone.

110
00:08:54.840 --> 00:09:00.919
This was one step beyond any grieving
process. Also, for obvious reasons,

111
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:05.519
it was not healthy at all that
he had made his daughter believe that that

112
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:09.799
doll was his brother. My niece
was the one who pulled me out of

113
00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:13.639
that trance where a thousand things were
going through my head. At the same

114
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:18.320
time, he told me that now
that he was a doll, he usually

115
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:22.639
preferred to sleep during the day and
play at night, but that he was

116
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:28.080
still himself, or at least that' s what his mother said. He

117
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:31.679
also told me that he was very
happy that I understood, as his mom

118
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:35.919
didn' t want me to know. Because he said I wasn' t

119
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:39.799
going to understand it, but he
liked to see that he did understand it

120
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:43.120
and that he could now take care
of both of them. As before,

121
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:48.399
I was so shocked at the time
that the only thing I could think of

122
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:52.360
was to keep up with him and
close the door of the room again.

123
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:58.360
I wanted to tell her that that
doll wasn' t her brother, but

124
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:01.039
I couldn' t since I did
tell her and I missed sister, who

125
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:05.600
seemed to be too involved in this
farce, she found out. Without a

126
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:11.279
doubt, this would provoke a huge
fight between us, which might well cause

127
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:15.879
me to stay away from her and
my niece just tried to forget that I

128
00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:20.440
was there. I thought maybe I
could try to talk to my sister more

129
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:26.320
calmly, maybe hear exactly why she
had the doll After all, my niece

130
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:31.200
was very small and might well be
telling lies. Maybe there was a perfectly

131
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:37.559
logical reason why he had that doll. There I could tell you that I

132
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:43.480
wanted to come in to see your
room for the last time and I saw

133
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:48.080
the doll there I just spent the
rest of the afternoon trying to distract my

134
00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:50.600
niece, playing board games so that
the theme of her doll brother didn'

135
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:54.320
t come out either. When it
was eight I took her to her room

136
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.000
to sleep and I went to the
living room to watch TV, but I

137
00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:05.159
was still turning towards that real-
sized doll that looked like my nephew and

138
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:11.000
that was even lying on his bed. Little by little, my eyes began

139
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:18.600
to feel heavier and heavier. I
fell asleep. I think I was already

140
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:22.440
starting to get into deep sleep when
suddenly I started to feel a little hand

141
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:30.320
caressing my cheek. This accompanied by
one and the other laughs and also some

142
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:33.840
words, there was no doubt,
at least for me, that it was

143
00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:39.919
Matthew’ s voice. But the
more I regained consciousness, the more I

144
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:45.600
realized that it was not a dream, but reality. It was already dark

145
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:50.960
and the TV was off. I
couldn' t see well, but there

146
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:54.960
was someone in front of me at
first, being in a small state of

147
00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:58.159
drowsiness. The idea of Mateo being
there didn' t seem crazy at all.

148
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:03.320
I or I picked them up from
the couch and almost at the same

149
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:07.320
time I saw someone running down the
hall towards the rooms. I turned on

150
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:11.240
the TV and the light again,
but I couldn' t see anyone.

151
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:18.399
At first I got scared, but
soon after I thought it might be Mariela.

152
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:22.679
After all, she was the one
who told me the whole story about

153
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:28.360
the doll and how my nephew was
back. I thought maybe it could be

154
00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:31.799
a joke of very bad taste,
of course it was a girl. Probably

155
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:37.960
didn' t measure the consequences or
impact of his actions yet. I didn

156
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:41.159
' t think of that at the
time. Quite the opposite. I got

157
00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:46.399
upset, so I started walking into
his room to tell him not to do

158
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:50.879
that again, or I would tell
his mother, But when I opened the

159
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:56.519
door, I realized that I was
deep asleep first I thought I was faking

160
00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:01.759
it, but after waking up and
seeing that, indeed, his eyes were

161
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:09.159
somewhat disoriented to wake up so suddenly, I just made up something and told

162
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:11.879
him to go back to sleep.
I went back to the living room.

163
00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:16.639
I was thinking about what all that
stuff I had just lived on might have

164
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:20.039
been. But after a while,
I came to the conclusion that it might

165
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:26.960
well be a strange dream. After
all, I had been dreaming about my

166
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:31.759
nephew in the last month and perhaps
this had already taken a toll on my

167
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:37.879
mental health and felt it to be
real. I just turned up the TV

168
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:41.919
volume and put on a movie.
On this occasion I could no longer sleep,

169
00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:48.960
as the pure idea gave me chills. I was watching the movie when

170
00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:52.200
I suddenly started listening to a couple
of steps that seemed to come from the

171
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:56.399
hallway. At first I thought it
was Mariela who wanted to go to the

172
00:13:56.559 --> 00:14:00.559
bathroom or that she had had some
nightmare and she had gone looking for me.

173
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:03.960
I didn' t just turn around
watching TV waiting for her to get

174
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:09.039
close, but that didn' t
happen. It was weird. I listened

175
00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:13.840
to the steps getting closer and you
could also feel the presence of someone else

176
00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:20.519
and suddenly all that stopped. No
steps, no presence. It was all

177
00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:24.840
like she was totally alone. I
even turned around to check it out and

178
00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:28.639
there was no one. I called
my niece' s name to come out

179
00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:33.639
if she was hiding, but she
wasn' t. At the time I

180
00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:37.600
felt like I was going crazy.
I couldn' t get to the idea

181
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:43.039
that something unexplainable or paranormal was happening
to me. I was always someone who

182
00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:46.639
didn' t believe in that kind
of thing. I just thought I was

183
00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:52.000
so upset by the duel I was
going through as much as by the creepy

184
00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:56.799
doll in my nephew' s bed
and the story Mariela had told me.

185
00:14:56.600 --> 00:15:01.080
I felt like I just had to
hold on a little longer until my sister

186
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:05.519
arrived and then go home to rest. I set out to watch a movie,

187
00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:11.559
but as I tried, I could
hear strange little noises that weren'

188
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:15.919
t typical of the house and didn' t seem to come from outside either.

189
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:18.840
It was very clear that they were
inside the house. I wanted to

190
00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:24.279
give you an explanation saying that maybe
there was a rat in the kitchen and

191
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:26.919
I' d let my sister know
as soon as I got there. Then,

192
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:31.159
I saw clearly as a small silhouette
of my nephew' s stature,

193
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:37.559
took my purse and scattered all things
across the floor, then ran into the

194
00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:43.080
hallway of the rooms and I could
see exactly what got into the room that

195
00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:48.080
had belonged to Matthew. I turned
on the light and saw all my stuff

196
00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:50.080
lying down, but at the time
that didn' t matter to me.

197
00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:56.080
I started walking towards Mateo' s
room very slowly, as a part of

198
00:15:56.279 --> 00:16:00.960
me wanted to find Mariela inside and
know that she was playing a joke on

199
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:06.840
me. The other side was also
a little scared, because she well knew

200
00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:11.799
Mariela was taller than her brother was
about to turn the knob. When I

201
00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:18.240
suddenly heard my sister' s voice
wondering what she was doing, I turned

202
00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:22.840
scared and babbled. For a moment, she asked me again, but I

203
00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:26.720
didn' t know what to say. I just pointed at the door.

204
00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:33.120
When I finally had enough strength to
talk, I said Mariela had thrown my

205
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:37.720
stuff away and then got into the
math room. At that time the explanation

206
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:41.799
in my head sounded so real that
to me it was a fact. I

207
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:47.879
was about to turn the knob again
and expose it. When my sister told

208
00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:52.399
me not to, she would talk
to Mariela so she would never do it

209
00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:56.960
again. Then he told me that
I could leave and thanked me for taking

210
00:16:56.039 --> 00:17:02.279
care of his children. I was
very confused, because I had never felt

211
00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:06.640
this hostility and the urgency of leaving
my sister' s house seriously, it

212
00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:11.720
seemed like I was hiding something and
unable to explain everything that had been happening

213
00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:17.119
to me. I just walked back
into the living room, picked up all

214
00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:21.240
my stuff and left. It'
s been days when I didn' t

215
00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:25.279
hear from my niece or my sister. I, too, was focused on

216
00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:29.680
my things, but I couldn'
t be completely calm. I had a

217
00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:33.519
nightmare about that doll and wondered if
my sister and niece were okay, both

218
00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:38.839
physically and mentally. I even thought
of the idea of staying with my niece

219
00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:44.960
for a while, if my sister
allowed him to help while solving her problems.

220
00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:49.400
I almost immediately discarded the idea,
because I knew my sister would never

221
00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:53.599
allow it. Needless to say,
I felt a great relief. When my

222
00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:59.640
sister called me, I answered and
she asked me again if I could go

223
00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:03.039
take care of her children. I
said yes and when I arrived I noticed

224
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:07.839
that she was a little more serious
while my niece was in the drawing room.

225
00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:12.319
This was weird, because my niece
generally preferred to be in her room.

226
00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:18.720
I still didn' t give much
importance to that. When she left

227
00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:22.119
I approached my niece and asked her
if she wanted to play cards with me.

228
00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:27.880
She refused and looked very fearful.
She seemed to be getting sick,

229
00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:34.200
as her skin was very pale.
I asked her if everything was okay and

230
00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:38.880
she kept quiet so she could gain
confidence with me. I told her that

231
00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:44.880
she could tell me what she wanted
and that she promised not only not to

232
00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:49.680
say anything to her mother, but
that she would also see the possibility of

233
00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:52.400
helping her with a trembling voice.
He told me that mateo was behaving very

234
00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:59.559
strangely. I asked him what he
meant and he told me he seemed angry

235
00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:03.319
too. Or she told me that
she had told her mom that she had

236
00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:07.200
told me about the story of the
Witch and the doll and that now her

237
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:11.960
mom was also mad at her because
she said I couldn' t understand it.

238
00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:17.240
I had told her that if I
asked her again about the doll,

239
00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:22.200
I had to deny everything and say
that it was a lie, that she

240
00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:27.039
had invented it and that she had
also made the doll to deceive me,

241
00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:29.480
but she didn' t want to
lie to me. She also told me

242
00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:33.079
that she was very afraid of the
doll and that she wanted to get rid

243
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:37.079
of it, but her mom wouldn' t leave it because she said she

244
00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:40.759
wasn' t going to kill her
son. Again, he felt that he

245
00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:45.200
was not his brother because he said
horrible things. I told her how she

246
00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:48.359
and her mother and even me were
going to die. She also told me

247
00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:52.759
she didn' t want to be
alone with that doll anymore. I tried

248
00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:56.759
to comfort her and told her there
was no problem, that I wouldn'

249
00:19:56.920 --> 00:20:02.200
t leave her alone. He even
mentioned that he would try to talk to

250
00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:07.200
his mom and maybe we could remember
to go live with me for a couple

251
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:11.400
of days, at least while he
was fixing everything. She was very happy

252
00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:17.000
about it, all day long we
were together, but she was very quiet

253
00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:22.519
when bedtime came. She begged me
to stay in her room all night with

254
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:26.279
her. Seeing her so scared,
I couldn' t say no. I

255
00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:33.079
promised her and she fell asleep about
half an hour later, seriously, I

256
00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:37.640
wanted to go watch TV, but
I knew I couldn' t leave her

257
00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:42.599
alone. At first I was trying
to distract myself from falling asleep, but

258
00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:48.480
being there in that room wasn'
t much to do to achieve my goals.

259
00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:52.240
I couldn' t stand it anymore
and fell asleep. I think I

260
00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:56.720
was just beginning to dream when something
woke me up. I felt one of

261
00:20:56.799 --> 00:21:03.400
the strands of my hair hit hard. I immediately opened my eyes and it

262
00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:07.079
was incredible, but it seemed that
on one side I had mateo not a

263
00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:11.480
doll. He was standing just like
he looked the last time I saw him.

264
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:15.839
He was smiling at me He could
see it thanks to the light at

265
00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:18.960
night that my niece had on her
side of the bed. It didn'

266
00:21:19.119 --> 00:21:23.319
t light much, but it did
light enough for me to see that it

267
00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:27.680
looked flesh and blood. At first
I thought I was dreaming, but I

268
00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:30.640
soon realized it wasn' t like
that. I couldn' t believe it.

269
00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:34.880
Words couldn' t get out of
my mouth. Part of me knew

270
00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:41.039
I should be scared, but I
never imagined I could see him again.

271
00:21:41.559 --> 00:21:47.079
Mateo spoke. I don' t
remember exactly what he said. I told

272
00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:52.680
him he wasn' t a mateo, he erased his smile and I still

273
00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:55.720
didn' t know where he was
getting the courage. I turned on the

274
00:21:56.400 --> 00:22:00.720
light, as the switch was right
next to the bed, but as for

275
00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:04.960
the room, it was completely illuminated
I could see as a child of flesh

276
00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:08.440
and blood. Now that I saw
him, he was nothing but a doll.

277
00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:11.960
He didn' t stand up.
It was as if the light made

278
00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:18.000
him again a simple rag doll and
fell to the floor completely motionless. I

279
00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:22.559
don' t know when my niece
woke up. I guess it was because

280
00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:26.680
of the light I lit, but
what got me out of the impression of

281
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:30.359
seeing that was that my niece started
screaming horrified by the fact that that doll

282
00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:36.200
was in her room. He asked
me, please, to take him out

283
00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:38.599
and that I didn' t want
to see him please take him to me

284
00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:42.799
and that he was bad. I
was about to touch it when my sister,

285
00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:48.160
who had just arrived, ran down
the hall to stop me. He

286
00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:52.319
asked me what was happening and what
was doing to his son, not knowing

287
00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:57.839
exactly how I told him that thing
was standing in front of me and that

288
00:22:57.920 --> 00:23:02.920
when I turned on the light he
just threw himself on the floor. She

289
00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:07.079
almost discovered herself, asked me to
please leave her house and that she no

290
00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:12.960
longer needed me to take care of
her children anymore. But feeling a little

291
00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:18.599
responsible for my niece' s safety
and well- being, I told her

292
00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:22.839
that I couldn' t be doing
that, that I didn' t know

293
00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:26.839
what was going on, but that
my niece was terrified and that she didn

294
00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:29.640
' t deserve any of that.
I asked her to reconsider, that this

295
00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:34.880
was just a rag doll and in
no way could she be killed she bothered

296
00:23:36.119 --> 00:23:41.279
and basically pulled me out of her
house. I was playing for a long

297
00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:45.319
time, but they didn' t
open me anymore, so I had no

298
00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:48.720
choice but to go back to my
house that day. I first thought that

299
00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:53.400
perhaps it would be best to file
a lawsuit to try to get custody of

300
00:23:55.240 --> 00:24:00.319
my niece, claiming that she was
not well mentally and that perhaps she was

301
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:04.759
with a child protection visit so that
they would realize that both the girl and

302
00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:11.680
my sister were not in the best
condition. But I couldn' t do

303
00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:17.160
that to my sister, because I
knew that if I took her only daughter,

304
00:24:17.559 --> 00:24:21.680
I probably wouldn' t resist it. I was very nervous lying in

305
00:24:21.799 --> 00:24:26.200
my bed thinking what would be the
best decision I had to make. When

306
00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:30.000
all of a sudden I started to
hear something. At first I thought it

307
00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:34.160
was an outside sound, but then, when it was heard more clearly,

308
00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:40.160
the cries of a child were heard
very real. I got up and walked

309
00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:44.359
into the room where the sound seemed
to come from, but I didn'

310
00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:48.079
t see anything. I was about
to go back to my room when I

311
00:24:48.279 --> 00:24:52.559
suddenly heard his voice. I think
that sound stayed in the house for about

312
00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:59.279
five minutes without stopping and then stopped. It didn' t matter if I

313
00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:03.440
tried to interact with him otherwise or
find him. All I could hear was

314
00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:08.480
his voice. The next morning,
after some research, I went to a

315
00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:14.480
lady who said she was doing white
magic. I told him everything I'

316
00:25:14.599 --> 00:25:17.680
d ever lived. She told me
that what was in my sister' s

317
00:25:17.759 --> 00:25:22.880
house was not math, but that
my sister believed it that way. The

318
00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:27.920
reality was that she was only fooled. He even described me to the person

319
00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:33.960
who had probably given him the doll
promising that his son would come back because

320
00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:38.359
of him. But that woman told
me that not only was it not him,

321
00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:44.960
but that she could feel that the
true soul of mateo was trapped,

322
00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:49.359
because that thing needed him close to
be able to imitate his voice and take

323
00:25:49.359 --> 00:25:52.839
on his appearance. He told me
he was forcing him to stay on this

324
00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:56.119
plane. At the time, he
scared the shit out of me. She

325
00:25:56.240 --> 00:26:00.680
also told me that, luckily,
that soul hadn' t been staying at

326
00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:04.720
my sister' s house for long. It was very simple. All I

327
00:26:04.759 --> 00:26:11.319
had to do was destroy the doll
by burning it with some special herbs she

328
00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:15.279
would give me. I accepted and
then waited until the hour I knew my

329
00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:19.319
sister was going to work, I
went to her house and opened up one

330
00:26:19.440 --> 00:26:25.079
of her neighbors who looked after my
niece for my luck, she didn'

331
00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:29.079
t know about our lawsuit. He
let me in when I told him I

332
00:26:29.200 --> 00:26:33.200
forgot my purse the last day I
had been there. The first thing I

333
00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:37.480
did was enter the room and I
saw him lying in bed. I just

334
00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:42.200
took it and took it. All
of this wasn' t hard what I

335
00:26:42.319 --> 00:26:47.480
was and I didn' t feel
like anything had happened, I mean,

336
00:26:48.119 --> 00:26:51.519
there was no smoke or things moving
or something trying to stop me. It

337
00:26:51.599 --> 00:26:56.160
burned very easily that same day.
I had several calls from my sister,

338
00:26:56.880 --> 00:26:59.960
but I didn' t answer any. He came to my house and he

339
00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:02.920
was or was knocking for a long
time, but I didn' t open

340
00:27:02.920 --> 00:27:06.200
the door for him either. Then
he sent me a very long message telling

341
00:27:06.319 --> 00:27:08.720
me that he had killed his son
and that he would never forgive me.

342
00:27:08.839 --> 00:27:15.160
So, to make sure I went
to that woman who was doing white witchcraft

343
00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:19.359
and asked her if it had worked
or if she could do anything else,

344
00:27:19.640 --> 00:27:25.720
but she told me that everything was
all right, only that I still felt

345
00:27:25.799 --> 00:27:30.119
that my nephew' s soul was
following me everywhere. We had to make

346
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:33.079
several prayers for his soul so that
in this way he could rest in peace.

347
00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:37.400
And I' ve been praying for
his soul for about a month.

348
00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:41.960
Integer made me clean with that woman, hoping that that horrible stage of my

349
00:27:42.160 --> 00:27:48.079
life would remain in oblivion forever.
After that, she mentioned to me that

350
00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:52.680
I no longer felt that my nephew' s spirit was there and did one

351
00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:57.240
last thing. He told me that
this last ritual served to protect my nephew

352
00:27:57.279 --> 00:28:03.480
' s soul so that he could
leave in peace and there was nothing that

353
00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:07.200
no sorcerer could do to try to
bring him back. I tried to make

354
00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:11.640
peace with my sister. Soon after
I learned that my nephew’ s soul

355
00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:15.400
had been able to rest in peace, I realized that they had moved.

356
00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:22.279
It' s been about two years
that I haven' t been able to

357
00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:26.400
engage in any kind of conversation,
since I can' t find them alone.

358
00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:30.720
I hope, in the depths of
my heart, that both my niece

359
00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:34.039
and my sister will be well.
The only thing that comforts me is knowing

360
00:28:34.200 --> 00:28:48.160
that I kill today rests in peace
of mind. I started a relationship I

361
00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:52.839
' ve called the worst couple I' ve ever had. We left for

362
00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:56.839
about two months, before he asked
me if he wanted to meet his family,

363
00:28:57.599 --> 00:29:02.839
flattered by the invitation, as he
had known very few families of my

364
00:29:02.920 --> 00:29:07.599
partners and because he felt it was
a big step in our relationship. I

365
00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:11.559
agreed upon arriving at his house,
I realized that his family was a bit

366
00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:15.279
peculiar. I don' t mean
they were strange people. On the contrary,

367
00:29:17.079 --> 00:29:22.519
they were quite hospitable, but very
soon I learned that they did not

368
00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:26.119
have a common religion, at least
not as I knew it. They followed

369
00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:33.880
the Yoruba religion, better known as
Santeria. As the food progressed, I

370
00:29:33.880 --> 00:29:38.160
discovered that everyone was quite attached to
it. The vast majority of family members,

371
00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:44.720
including both parents and three siblings,
as well as my boyfriend. At

372
00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:51.039
that time they were santeros. Each
said that he studied hard to break curses

373
00:29:51.079 --> 00:29:56.480
and claimed to be children of different
gods. I didn' t understand much

374
00:29:56.480 --> 00:30:00.759
at the time. I only found
it very strange, but I used to

375
00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:06.480
respect most religions as long as they
did not harm third parties. I was

376
00:30:06.559 --> 00:30:11.079
curious that my boyfriend hadn' t
told me anything about it in the time

377
00:30:11.160 --> 00:30:14.720
we' d been dating. Nor
is it as if he was ashamed,

378
00:30:15.119 --> 00:30:19.079
for even that very day he seemed
to be very proud of his religion.

379
00:30:21.440 --> 00:30:26.200
He also acted as if I knew
in advance. All this at first seemed

380
00:30:26.279 --> 00:30:30.839
a little strange to me, but
I decided not to give it more importance,

381
00:30:32.359 --> 00:30:33.599
thinking it would not have a real
impact on my life at that time.

382
00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:40.319
After lunch we talked a little more
about things that had nothing to do

383
00:30:40.440 --> 00:30:45.279
with their religion. Then my boyfriend
took me home. I was glad to

384
00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:48.400
know a couple of days after his
family had adored me, or at least

385
00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:52.799
that' s what he told me. I guess it was partly real,

386
00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:57.039
because after that we started going home
every Sunday to eat and his whole family

387
00:30:57.400 --> 00:31:04.279
started joining me very soon. She
was practically one of them. It was

388
00:31:04.359 --> 00:31:10.440
no surprise to anyone when in our
first year of relationship, during a meal

389
00:31:10.519 --> 00:31:14.519
with his family, he asked me
to marry him. Of course I accepted

390
00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:18.839
and we started preparations. The wedding
wasn' t like I expected since I

391
00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:22.160
was a kid. I dreamed of
a traditional wedding like the ones in the

392
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:26.839
movies, in a white dress and
an official church, with a father,

393
00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:33.720
but they convinced me otherwise, arguing
that I didn' t have a religion

394
00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:37.759
as such and they did. Moreover, it would mean a lot to them

395
00:31:37.880 --> 00:31:41.240
to have a wedding according to their
religion. I ended up agreeing. Don

396
00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:45.799
' t get me wrong. It
wasn' t a bad wedding, and

397
00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:48.079
there weren' t a lot of
weird things to warn me to run out

398
00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:52.559
of there either. On the contrary, it was quite nice and more spiritual

399
00:31:52.680 --> 00:31:57.319
in style and it took me a
bit to learn all the things they asked

400
00:31:57.319 --> 00:32:01.039
me for. In the end,
I am pleased to see that not only

401
00:32:01.160 --> 00:32:05.279
my husband was happy, but also
his family, with whom I was well.

402
00:32:05.799 --> 00:32:09.079
I didn' t make a big
fuss. That' s why the

403
00:32:09.319 --> 00:32:14.079
real hell broke loose a couple of
weeks after the wedding. As I hunted

404
00:32:14.200 --> 00:32:19.039
us so fast, I probably skipped
the stage of knowing the best and maybe

405
00:32:19.119 --> 00:32:22.119
spending some time together to see each
other' s habits. Besides, he

406
00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:28.240
started getting a little violent. At
first they were passive, aggressive comments,

407
00:32:29.400 --> 00:32:32.920
mumbles that were more insults, and
then he went screaming or beating near me,

408
00:32:34.079 --> 00:32:37.759
to the wall or the table.
About five months after the wedding,

409
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:43.079
he was very committed to having a
baby. The truth is that we hadn

410
00:32:43.160 --> 00:32:47.240
' t had time to talk about
the children' s issue and I personally

411
00:32:47.240 --> 00:32:51.400
didn' t want to. At
first I refused, but he was very

412
00:32:51.519 --> 00:32:54.960
insistent on the issue of having a
child, which caused great fights in our

413
00:32:55.039 --> 00:33:00.200
marriage. One day I found out
it was in bars. It was not

414
00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:06.480
a complete surprise, as he was
the only one taking care of himself whenever

415
00:33:06.640 --> 00:33:12.519
he tried to take birth control pills
mysteriously, they disappeared or suffered an accident.

416
00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:16.799
Preventing me from completing treatment. Despite
my doubts, he was incredibly happy.

417
00:33:19.799 --> 00:33:22.559
He promised me he' d change
and that we' d be nothing

418
00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:27.400
short of our son and me.
Eventually I fell in love with the idea

419
00:33:27.519 --> 00:33:30.960
of being the mother of your child, but a violent person doesn' t

420
00:33:30.960 --> 00:33:36.000
change so easily. When our son
was born, he realized that being a

421
00:33:36.359 --> 00:33:40.599
father implied much more than having a
lovely child who only laughed and made funny

422
00:33:40.720 --> 00:33:49.160
faces. The responsibility and sleepless hours
began to weigh him and his behavior became

423
00:33:49.359 --> 00:33:53.880
even more violent, both with me
and with our son. It took me

424
00:33:53.960 --> 00:34:00.559
many years to realize that this life
was not healthy. I wanted to quit,

425
00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:02.799
but I was afraid my son would
grow up without his father. He

426
00:34:02.839 --> 00:34:09.400
physically and psychologically mistreated us both.
The critical point came when my son was

427
00:34:09.559 --> 00:34:15.199
seven years old, after one of
the many assaults I suffered, My son

428
00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:20.119
approached me and told me not to
worry that when I was big I would

429
00:34:20.119 --> 00:34:23.400
defend myself. At that time I
understood the kind of life I was modeling

430
00:34:23.480 --> 00:34:28.679
for my son, I gathered the
courage to leave him. Once and for

431
00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:32.519
all, I packed our stuff and
we left before he came home without telling

432
00:34:32.639 --> 00:34:38.960
him anything. Initially we moved to
another city to prevent him from finding us,

433
00:34:39.840 --> 00:34:45.199
but somehow he tracked us down and
tried to convince me that he would

434
00:34:45.320 --> 00:34:51.000
change again by then he was no
longer interested in his empty promises. I

435
00:34:51.079 --> 00:34:55.239
stood firm and when he became violent, again I called the police and a

436
00:34:55.519 --> 00:35:00.639
restraining order was issued. But,
as is often the case in Mexico,

437
00:35:01.360 --> 00:35:07.559
these orders are not always carried out. Despite changing my city repeatedly, he

438
00:35:07.559 --> 00:35:14.599
always managed to find us. Finally, I got a job in the United

439
00:35:14.719 --> 00:35:17.960
States and I was able to take
my son because he signed so that he

440
00:35:19.440 --> 00:35:22.639
could take my son already to start
a new life. For about two months.

441
00:35:22.840 --> 00:35:27.880
Everything seemed to be going well in
our new life in America, until

442
00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:32.039
my son started having nightmares. Suddenly
he went to my room and told me

443
00:35:32.119 --> 00:35:37.119
there was a man under his bed. At first it didn' t take

444
00:35:37.440 --> 00:35:43.519
on any importance and only let him
sleep with me to calm down, thinking

445
00:35:43.719 --> 00:35:45.440
that it was a phase and that
he would soon overcome it. But this

446
00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:52.239
started to happen every night, no
matter how many times I tried to reassure

447
00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:55.559
him or make him see that none
of that could be real. He always

448
00:35:55.639 --> 00:36:00.320
told me there was a man under
his bed. He even described it to

449
00:36:00.320 --> 00:36:06.480
me. He said his eyes were
totally yellow, he had almost all his

450
00:36:06.599 --> 00:36:09.960
teeth missing, he seemed to have
chains on his hands and he was almost

451
00:36:09.960 --> 00:36:14.719
bald. To me, it sounded
like the classic ghost of horror movies.

452
00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:20.519
I kept ignoring him, telling him
that he was already too big for that

453
00:36:20.880 --> 00:36:24.360
and that I should stop being afraid
of those things, but my son swore

454
00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:28.960
it was real. I couldn'
t do much about it but keep leaving

455
00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:34.159
him, sleep with me and expect
him to stop being afraid. About a

456
00:36:34.280 --> 00:36:37.119
month and a half had passed from
this situation. When I met someone at

457
00:36:37.199 --> 00:36:42.880
work, he constantly invited me to
dinner, but I usually rejected him,

458
00:36:43.360 --> 00:36:47.440
feeling that my destiny was to be
single for the rest of my life.

459
00:36:49.599 --> 00:36:52.760
But the friends I had already started
doing in this job encouraged me to accept

460
00:36:52.800 --> 00:36:58.079
that exit, as they told me
that I was not obliged to anything and

461
00:36:58.480 --> 00:37:01.840
I could know him a little better, because he seemed to be a good

462
00:37:01.840 --> 00:37:06.360
subject. Mostly because of the pressure
they gave me, I agreed to go

463
00:37:06.440 --> 00:37:09.360
out with him. My son had
stayed in the care of one of my

464
00:37:09.440 --> 00:37:15.920
working friends. While we were going
to the restaurant he had invited me to.

465
00:37:15.719 --> 00:37:21.320
We were in the car talking about
minor things. Suddenly, he flipped

466
00:37:21.360 --> 00:37:28.079
almost into a light pole when he
asked what had happened. Instead of answering

467
00:37:28.159 --> 00:37:32.239
me, he was looking at the
back seat, checking the gap between the

468
00:37:32.360 --> 00:37:37.920
seats. He was pale. I
asked again what was going on and he

469
00:37:38.320 --> 00:37:44.039
told me he was going to think
I was crazy, but he had seen

470
00:37:44.119 --> 00:37:47.679
someone sitting in the back seat.
I asked him who he was and he

471
00:37:47.760 --> 00:37:52.639
described me exactly the same man my
son claimed to see under his bed.

472
00:37:52.320 --> 00:37:58.159
We both remained silent, a silence
that was interrupted by my phone, which

473
00:37:58.280 --> 00:38:02.320
rang by checking out the caller ID
VI that was my friend who was taking

474
00:38:02.440 --> 00:38:07.079
care of. To my son I
answered and I heard her very exalted.

475
00:38:07.519 --> 00:38:13.559
On the verge of crying, she
told me that someone had gone into the

476
00:38:13.679 --> 00:38:15.920
apartment where I lived with my son. Of course, it scared me a

477
00:38:16.079 --> 00:38:21.039
lot and I asked her if she
and my son were okay. She replied

478
00:38:21.119 --> 00:38:24.840
yes, they were in the apartment
right away, but the police were already

479
00:38:25.119 --> 00:38:30.599
on their way. So we were
both scared. I asked that man to

480
00:38:30.679 --> 00:38:36.440
take me back to my apartment explaining, of course, what had happened.

481
00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:43.039
He agreed and took me. When
we arrived, the police were already at

482
00:38:43.079 --> 00:38:46.679
the scene checking, but as much
as they searched they couldn' t find

483
00:38:46.679 --> 00:38:52.679
anyone. We lived on a fifth
floor like there was no proof that someone

484
00:38:52.760 --> 00:38:54.639
had come out through the cameras,
out of the hall of the building.

485
00:38:55.239 --> 00:39:00.719
It was impossible for anyone to be
inside. What jumped me the most was

486
00:39:00.800 --> 00:39:04.639
my friend' s testimony. She, not knowing anything about what I had

487
00:39:04.719 --> 00:39:07.800
been living with my son, told
the police that when he put my son

488
00:39:07.920 --> 00:39:12.599
to sleep, he told him that
he did not want to go to sleep

489
00:39:12.719 --> 00:39:17.440
because there was a man under his
bed. Thinking it was just a childish

490
00:39:17.559 --> 00:39:22.840
fantasy, he told her not to
worry because there was nothing down there.

491
00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:30.239
But, as my son insisted on
an attempt to prove that there was nothing

492
00:39:30.360 --> 00:39:35.599
there, he crouched down and in
doing so saw exactly the same description that

493
00:39:35.719 --> 00:39:39.320
my son had given. It was
the same description of the man my date

494
00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:44.599
had seen sitting in his rearview mirror. From that day on, things went

495
00:39:44.719 --> 00:39:49.480
from bad to worse in our home. The objects moved from place, even

496
00:39:49.880 --> 00:39:53.960
in front of our eyes. Suddenly, all the magnets in the refrigerator fell,

497
00:39:54.519 --> 00:39:59.800
the glasses of water flew off the
table, the plates slipped on their

498
00:40:00.119 --> 00:40:04.920
own from the shelf and broke into
the floor. But not only that.

499
00:40:05.519 --> 00:40:08.920
That entity began to manifest not only
under my son' s bed, but

500
00:40:09.719 --> 00:40:15.119
seemed to be anywhere in the house
at any time of the day, not

501
00:40:15.119 --> 00:40:20.679
just at night. On one occasion, my son went down to play football

502
00:40:20.840 --> 00:40:23.800
with other children in the building and
I took advantage of it to give me

503
00:40:23.800 --> 00:40:28.599
a long bath. I was in
Latin and began to fall asleep when,

504
00:40:29.199 --> 00:40:32.880
suddenly, a few steps woke me
up. At first I thought it was

505
00:40:34.079 --> 00:40:38.199
my son who had returned to the
apartment and I had not heard him open

506
00:40:38.199 --> 00:40:44.199
the door, but soon after I
began to hear laments. It was like

507
00:40:44.320 --> 00:40:49.679
a grown man walked in pain.
The sound of chains crawling on the floor

508
00:40:49.760 --> 00:40:53.079
was also heard. That' s
when I realized he couldn' t be

509
00:40:53.159 --> 00:40:59.119
my son. I left Latina and
after dressing carefully, I went out into

510
00:40:59.199 --> 00:41:02.559
the hallway. What I saw left
me freezing. The man who had so

511
00:41:02.679 --> 00:41:07.000
many times disturbed. My son'
s dream was in front of me,

512
00:41:07.920 --> 00:41:10.559
I was at the bottom of the
hall. He looked horrible, his body

513
00:41:10.599 --> 00:41:15.360
slightly deformed and bent, his clothes
torn and he seemed to fall off at

514
00:41:15.480 --> 00:41:22.800
any moment had wounds all over his
body and dragged chains. He almost had

515
00:41:22.960 --> 00:41:27.760
no teeth and his eyes shone with
a yellow glow. I was scared,

516
00:41:29.079 --> 00:41:31.320
but the more I looked at him, the more I felt sadness than fear.

517
00:41:32.199 --> 00:41:37.360
His gaze was not evil, rather
it seemed that of someone who was

518
00:41:37.559 --> 00:41:42.199
suffering as if he no longer wanted
to be on this plane. I was

519
00:41:42.280 --> 00:41:46.679
watching about thirty seconds before I threw
one last scream, pitiful and disappearing as

520
00:41:46.880 --> 00:41:52.880
if I had never been there.
I thought about all that during the day

521
00:41:52.960 --> 00:41:58.719
and in the end decided to seek
help to try to get that spirit to

522
00:41:58.840 --> 00:42:01.519
rest in peace in case he was
trapped in our apartment, where we lived.

523
00:42:01.679 --> 00:42:07.119
My son and I remember that day
at work I approached the man I

524
00:42:07.199 --> 00:42:14.320
had tried to date and told him
what I had seen. He believed me

525
00:42:14.639 --> 00:42:19.320
because he had also had a similar
experience with me. That is why I

526
00:42:19.400 --> 00:42:23.880
had enough confidence to tell him,
and he told me that his sister could

527
00:42:23.880 --> 00:42:30.639
meet someone who was engaged in spiritual
cleansing. He offered me his help and

528
00:42:30.719 --> 00:42:34.840
told me he would ask that person' s contact number to give it to

529
00:42:34.840 --> 00:42:39.199
me. I accepted the help and
he, thinking it was an opportunity to

530
00:42:39.280 --> 00:42:44.480
have another appointment, suggested we could
have it. When it was done clean

531
00:42:44.599 --> 00:42:49.760
in my house, I was undecided
to say yes or no. When a

532
00:42:49.840 --> 00:42:53.480
fan hung from the ceiling detached and
fell on his head, there was no

533
00:42:53.559 --> 00:42:59.679
explanation, as that fan had never
given any indication of being loose or having

534
00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:06.360
any problems. Until that day it
was a perfectly functional fan. He left

535
00:43:06.400 --> 00:43:10.559
work early that day, but later
contacted me to give me the number of

536
00:43:10.840 --> 00:43:17.400
the person who could help us with
spiritual cleansing without wasting time. I went

537
00:43:17.519 --> 00:43:21.679
with my son and we didn'
t have to tell him anything. The

538
00:43:21.760 --> 00:43:28.079
specialist told us that we had a
parasite spirit attached to us gave us a

539
00:43:28.159 --> 00:43:32.840
detailed description that left us both surprised. After a little clean for both of

540
00:43:32.840 --> 00:43:38.000
us, he explained that my suspicions
that he was a spirit trapped in our

541
00:43:38.519 --> 00:43:43.800
apartment were not true. Rather,
it was something that had come to us

542
00:43:43.920 --> 00:43:49.719
specifically something that someone had sent to
make sure that we lived the life he

543
00:43:49.800 --> 00:43:53.559
wanted. I didn' t fully
understand what he was saying and asked him

544
00:43:53.559 --> 00:43:59.599
for more details. The specialist explained
that he was someone who had been very

545
00:43:59.639 --> 00:44:04.360
close to us for a long time, but from whom we had distanced ourselves.

546
00:44:05.119 --> 00:44:10.480
This individual wanted to make sure to
keep an eye on us, even

547
00:44:10.800 --> 00:44:15.840
if we were separated and that'
s why they sent him in to intervene

548
00:44:15.840 --> 00:44:16.880
if we did something he didn'
t like. He asked me if I

549
00:44:17.039 --> 00:44:22.239
had any idea who he might be
and I immediately thought about my ex-

550
00:44:22.599 --> 00:44:28.400
husband telling him about the abuses he
had suffered with him and the religion his

551
00:44:28.400 --> 00:44:32.119
family practiced. The specialist listened attentively
and after asking me for my ex-

552
00:44:32.320 --> 00:44:37.800
husband' s name and date of
birth he assured me that it had been

553
00:44:37.039 --> 00:44:43.320
he who, through a spell,
had anchored that spirit to make sure it

554
00:44:43.320 --> 00:44:47.920
did. What he wanted. He
went to our apartment and spent about an

555
00:44:49.079 --> 00:44:53.000
hour doing a clean in each of
the rooms of the house, as well

556
00:44:53.159 --> 00:44:59.320
as placing some symbols on the windows. He explained to me that I should

557
00:44:59.320 --> 00:45:02.800
not remove them. For two weeks. After that, he gave us some

558
00:45:02.880 --> 00:45:08.440
intrigued protective bracelets. I asked her
if that soul could rest in peace or

559
00:45:08.559 --> 00:45:13.639
if it had simply taken her away
from us. He assured me not to

560
00:45:13.760 --> 00:45:19.559
worry, that the soul would be
liberated. He also explained that it was

561
00:45:19.639 --> 00:45:22.159
my ex- husband who was supposed
to be worried. I asked him why,

562
00:45:22.599 --> 00:45:27.159
and he told me that soul looked
very upset with who had condemned her

563
00:45:27.280 --> 00:45:32.320
to do her dirty work. For
him there was no doubt that he would

564
00:45:32.440 --> 00:45:36.800
try to avenge himself in any way. At the time, I didn'

565
00:45:36.840 --> 00:45:39.519
t care what might happen to my
ex- husband. I only cared that

566
00:45:39.639 --> 00:45:44.880
my son and I were fine about
a month after all this happened and already

567
00:45:45.039 --> 00:45:50.320
being quieter, because all the paranormal
activity in our department and in our lives

568
00:45:50.639 --> 00:45:58.599
in general had stopped completely. I
got a piece of news My ex-

569
00:45:58.599 --> 00:46:00.840
husband had passed away. The person
who told me mentioned that there was no

570
00:46:00.960 --> 00:46:06.079
clear reason. Even though she was
young and in good health one day,

571
00:46:06.320 --> 00:46:09.840
she simply did not wake up.
At that time I decided not to ask

572
00:46:09.840 --> 00:46:14.559
for more details, since in the
background it already gave me an idea of

573
00:46:14.679 --> 00:46:25.880
what had been the reason for his
death an outstanding debt. Since I'

574
00:46:27.039 --> 00:46:30.039
ve been using reason, I'
ve had very bad luck. I know

575
00:46:30.159 --> 00:46:32.280
some people will say life isn'
t about good luck or bad luck.

576
00:46:32.880 --> 00:46:37.440
If there was an award for being
the person with the most misfortunes, I

577
00:46:37.440 --> 00:46:42.079
probably wouldn' t win it,
because I' ve never earned anything in

578
00:46:42.079 --> 00:46:45.639
my life. But my bad luck
doesn' t end there. Accidents and

579
00:46:45.719 --> 00:46:51.400
blows happen to me so often that
not only in the nearest hospital do they

580
00:46:51.519 --> 00:46:57.800
know me, but over time my
tolerance for pain has become greater. When

581
00:46:57.920 --> 00:47:02.320
I was little from age five to
age ten or eleven. I thought that

582
00:47:02.400 --> 00:47:07.400
was life for everyone and that my
bad luck streak would end, but as

583
00:47:07.679 --> 00:47:13.400
I passed this age I realized that
my bad luck went beyond that. Apparently,

584
00:47:13.960 --> 00:47:17.360
I have something attached to me that
doesn' t just make my presence

585
00:47:17.519 --> 00:47:23.679
unwelcome. Despite being a physically graceful
person usually, my energy is so negative

586
00:47:23.760 --> 00:47:29.079
that I put people in a bad
mood just by being there, I don

587
00:47:29.119 --> 00:47:32.800
' t even have to say anything
so that people don' t just start

588
00:47:32.920 --> 00:47:40.239
hating me, but also start fighting
each other. I would like to relate

589
00:47:40.480 --> 00:47:45.719
different situations that not only led me
to discover that I have something attached to

590
00:47:45.960 --> 00:47:49.039
me, but also how I discovered
more or less that it is. As

591
00:47:49.159 --> 00:47:53.360
I mentioned earlier, I began to
suspect him around eleven or perhaps when he

592
00:47:53.480 --> 00:48:00.639
was about to turn twelve. Right
now I can' t exactly remember it,

593
00:48:00.360 --> 00:48:06.039
but I began to realize that something
was still growing up with it all

594
00:48:06.199 --> 00:48:10.760
my life. I thought it was
normal. I thought that' s how

595
00:48:10.920 --> 00:48:16.000
the steps should sound until one day, while I was sitting in a place

596
00:48:16.000 --> 00:48:19.760
with a lot of echo, I
saw a girl pass that I liked very

597
00:48:19.760 --> 00:48:22.920
much. That' s when I
realized his steps didn' t sound like

598
00:48:23.000 --> 00:48:29.920
mine. Mine were heavier and sometimes
a small sound was heard that might well

599
00:48:30.199 --> 00:48:36.079
be a second step. Before that, I saw them as very normal.

600
00:48:36.719 --> 00:48:42.039
And after I realized that I began
to notice it much more frequently. Every

601
00:48:42.119 --> 00:48:46.280
time I walked alone, especially at
night, I could hear something behind me.

602
00:48:47.320 --> 00:48:52.320
He usually walked at the same time
as me, but from time to

603
00:48:52.400 --> 00:48:57.239
time he was delayed by one or
two seconds. The worst part was that

604
00:48:57.320 --> 00:49:02.199
it seemed the more I realized this. The entity that followed me also realized

605
00:49:02.360 --> 00:49:08.719
that I knew it. Then I
began to walk in an increasingly different way

606
00:49:08.800 --> 00:49:15.159
from mine, so that it was
impossible not to realize that someone was following

607
00:49:15.280 --> 00:49:21.719
me back then I decided to tell
my parents and I don' t blame

608
00:49:21.840 --> 00:49:25.360
them for their reaction. If I
were a father and they told me something

609
00:49:27.079 --> 00:49:30.480
like that, I would also look
for the most logical option. For obvious

610
00:49:30.599 --> 00:49:36.480
reasons, they decided to take me
with a specialist to evaluate my situation at

611
00:49:36.480 --> 00:49:38.039
that time. I was still trying
to understand what was happening to me.

612
00:49:38.480 --> 00:49:43.840
I was very honest with the specialist. I told him not only that I

613
00:49:43.960 --> 00:49:47.800
felt that someone was following me all
the time, but also other things that

614
00:49:47.920 --> 00:49:53.199
I was beginning to notice, among
them that every time I gathered the courage

615
00:49:53.320 --> 00:49:57.639
to turn around and see. If
anyone was watching me, I could notice

616
00:49:58.000 --> 00:50:01.920
that thing being anything. I saw
him hiding behind posts, trash cans or

617
00:50:02.000 --> 00:50:08.960
alleyways. Of course, no one
believed my story and after exams and consultations,

618
00:50:09.320 --> 00:50:15.280
I was recommended psychotic drugs, as
it was believed that I could be

619
00:50:15.280 --> 00:50:19.679
developing schizophrenia, but I took them. This didn' t solve anything.

620
00:50:20.639 --> 00:50:24.360
Both my bad luck streak and the
feeling of having something stuck to me continued

621
00:50:24.519 --> 00:50:30.400
to affect me more and more.
I felt increasingly desperate and isolated. I

622
00:50:30.599 --> 00:50:35.679
was always on the medication I was
prescribed, but there was never any improvement.

623
00:50:36.239 --> 00:50:40.519
No psychiatrist had a clear answer about
why the drugs didn' t work

624
00:50:42.239 --> 00:50:45.960
on me In the end, they
came to the conclusion that I was lying.

625
00:50:45.599 --> 00:50:52.599
They recognized that he had psychotic delusions, they thought maybe he just wanted

626
00:50:52.599 --> 00:50:55.599
to get attention. They left me
on an average dose of medication and sent

627
00:50:55.639 --> 00:51:00.639
me to therapy. I basically spent
all my adolescence and part of my adulthood

628
00:51:00.880 --> 00:51:07.599
with that, honestly, believing that
I could get better if I kept on

629
00:51:07.719 --> 00:51:09.519
taking medication and going to therapy.
But over the years, the situation was

630
00:51:09.840 --> 00:51:16.440
only getting worse. I couldn'
t ignore the fact that my presence seemed

631
00:51:16.480 --> 00:51:22.400
to bother everyone around me. Every
attempt to get rid of this feeling seemed

632
00:51:22.599 --> 00:51:28.079
to strengthen it and make it more
annoying to the point of not only being

633
00:51:28.159 --> 00:51:30.679
a factor that dictated my bad luck, but it seemed to provoke it directly.

634
00:51:31.320 --> 00:51:36.159
A clear example of this is that, very often, as I walked

635
00:51:36.280 --> 00:51:42.559
along the sidewalk I suddenly felt someone
pushing me. He usually managed to brake

636
00:51:42.639 --> 00:51:46.960
before falling completely off the bench.
In time I learned to develop a kind

637
00:51:47.000 --> 00:51:52.880
of resistance. I could feel when
that thing was close to me and I

638
00:51:52.000 --> 00:51:59.079
was preparing for the moment when I
tried to hurt myself somehow and on many

639
00:51:59.199 --> 00:52:04.440
occasions managed to mitigate data. But
the only person who decided to approach me

640
00:52:04.760 --> 00:52:08.000
didn' t have the same luck. This kid started talking to me in

641
00:52:08.119 --> 00:52:14.000
the senior year of college. This
surprised me a lot, as, as

642
00:52:14.119 --> 00:52:17.760
I mentioned earlier, because of the
energy that used to emanate, people didn

643
00:52:17.800 --> 00:52:22.920
' t get too close to me
and generally had problems of some kind.

644
00:52:22.440 --> 00:52:27.880
But this guy I' m calling. Daniel not only started talking to me

645
00:52:27.880 --> 00:52:31.920
regularly, but also tried to become
my friend. I think he was the

646
00:52:32.000 --> 00:52:37.280
first person to confirm everything I'
ve reported before about my strange aura and

647
00:52:37.360 --> 00:52:43.719
how people seemed not to like him. All my therapists and psychiatrists told me

648
00:52:43.840 --> 00:52:49.199
that everything was in my head and
that people had other impressions. It was

649
00:52:49.280 --> 00:52:53.039
impossible for a large group to feel
a negative vibration. Daniel confirmed this in

650
00:52:53.199 --> 00:52:58.280
one of our first conversations, after
inviting me to have a few beers.

651
00:52:59.079 --> 00:53:04.039
I replied that it seemed very strange
to me that someone invited me, because

652
00:53:04.199 --> 00:53:07.199
no one had ever done it,
and he told me it was because of

653
00:53:07.199 --> 00:53:13.360
my weirdness, but that was precisely
what intrigued him about me, even once

654
00:53:13.480 --> 00:53:17.280
when he was drunk, he confessed
to me that he had to make a

655
00:53:17.559 --> 00:53:22.960
great effort to ignore what he called
my weirdness. He also explained to me

656
00:53:22.159 --> 00:53:27.719
that, when he was close to
me for a long time, his mind

657
00:53:27.920 --> 00:53:31.679
was filled with dark thoughts such as
his own death, that of his loved

658
00:53:31.840 --> 00:53:35.519
ones and other sad things that had
happened to him. Despite this, he

659
00:53:35.519 --> 00:53:39.039
didn' t walk away and we
became friends. We maintained our friendship until

660
00:53:39.119 --> 00:53:45.480
I was twenty- five years old, when I began to experience my own

661
00:53:45.599 --> 00:53:50.320
bad luck. It only happened when
he was near me. Daniel started having

662
00:53:50.400 --> 00:53:54.000
accidents and getting bad news when we
were less than a meter away on one

663
00:53:54.119 --> 00:54:02.239
occasion as we walked down the sidewalk. I felt clearly that energy was very

664
00:54:02.360 --> 00:54:07.360
close to me. I prepared for
the moment I tried to push myself,

665
00:54:07.039 --> 00:54:09.599
but, to my surprise, this
time it didn' t affect me.

666
00:54:10.159 --> 00:54:15.159
Instead, my friend rolled off the
sidewalk and was about to be hit by

667
00:54:15.239 --> 00:54:20.920
a car. When I helped him
get up, he told me that I

668
00:54:20.920 --> 00:54:24.400
could call him madness, but that
I had felt someone pushing him. He

669
00:54:24.480 --> 00:54:30.920
described feeling hands on his ribs just
before he was pushed. Until that time

670
00:54:30.360 --> 00:54:35.599
I had not mentioned anything about the
entity that I felt was chasing me since

671
00:54:35.679 --> 00:54:40.519
childhood. I had told him about
my visits to psychiatrists, my medications and

672
00:54:40.599 --> 00:54:46.079
my feeling of bad luck, but
I had never mentioned this presence. When

673
00:54:46.199 --> 00:54:52.039
I finally told him Daniel suggested that
maybe I should look for another method if

674
00:54:52.119 --> 00:54:58.599
medicine had not helped me at all. He suggested that he might consider a

675
00:54:58.719 --> 00:55:02.679
clean or other approach. The truth
is that the subject had interested me for

676
00:55:02.800 --> 00:55:07.360
many years, but for some reason, I had never encouraged myself to do

677
00:55:07.360 --> 00:55:13.199
so. I felt that if it
didn' t work, I would feel

678
00:55:13.960 --> 00:55:17.880
like a real fool, but now
that my only friend was recommending it to

679
00:55:19.000 --> 00:55:22.480
me, he made me finally decide
not to lie. At first we went

680
00:55:22.599 --> 00:55:28.039
with a couple of people who said
they weren' t what you could call

681
00:55:28.039 --> 00:55:32.239
professionals. They charged us a lot
of money for telling us things that were

682
00:55:32.400 --> 00:55:36.880
lying and that you could easily deduce
that they were making up. After the

683
00:55:36.920 --> 00:55:43.199
second person we saw like this,
I was so disappointed that I even told

684
00:55:43.239 --> 00:55:46.800
my friend that I didn' t
want to try anymore. I was planning

685
00:55:46.960 --> 00:55:52.159
on continuing the plan to take pills
until my depression was so severe that one

686
00:55:52.239 --> 00:55:55.679
day I decided to finish everything.
But he didn' t give up and

687
00:55:55.800 --> 00:56:00.920
one day he told me that someone
had told him about a man who was

688
00:56:01.039 --> 00:56:07.000
a real sorcerer and they said he
could see things that others wouldn' t

689
00:56:07.079 --> 00:56:14.000
undo curses and make clean and that
many people recommended. At first I showed

690
00:56:14.000 --> 00:56:17.800
resistance, but in the end I
ended up convincing myself that it was the

691
00:56:17.800 --> 00:56:22.679
best idea. I was already quite
skeptical at that point. Once we got

692
00:56:22.800 --> 00:56:27.599
there we realized that he didn'
t have a fee as such. Basically,

693
00:56:28.039 --> 00:56:32.159
cooperation was voluntary, depending on how
satisfied you were with the work he

694
00:56:32.320 --> 00:56:37.800
was doing. As soon as he
walked through the door of his office,

695
00:56:38.199 --> 00:56:44.480
he stared at me, though he
did not seem to be looking at me,

696
00:56:44.800 --> 00:56:47.480
but he did look at my direction. As soon as we were close

697
00:56:47.480 --> 00:56:52.840
enough, I asked him if he
saw anything in me and he said not

698
00:56:52.920 --> 00:56:58.480
to ask questions about things I already
knew, because I was too smart for

699
00:56:58.480 --> 00:57:04.360
that. I kept quiet. He
said he knew my real question was what

700
00:57:04.559 --> 00:57:08.480
it was. What haunted me very
seriously and already believing what I was saying,

701
00:57:08.719 --> 00:57:14.159
I asked him if he knew what
it was, but he only shook

702
00:57:14.239 --> 00:57:19.840
his head saying he could see it, but he wasn' t quite sure

703
00:57:19.960 --> 00:57:23.400
what it was. He seemed to
have a very dark aura and also told

704
00:57:23.559 --> 00:57:28.760
me that he was very angry with
me. He then asked if he had

705
00:57:29.119 --> 00:57:35.920
ever disrespected anyone or had stolen anything
from a cemetery or tomb. I continued

706
00:57:36.239 --> 00:57:39.440
to refuse and he replied that I
put my memory to work. I tried

707
00:57:39.559 --> 00:57:45.440
very hard to remember, but it
was only things I had lived with since

708
00:57:45.480 --> 00:57:49.440
I had memory. I didn'
t think I could have done something that

709
00:57:49.440 --> 00:57:52.400
bad. Being such a little boy, I let him know and he asked

710
00:57:52.519 --> 00:57:58.760
me to get up. He said
he' d try to clean me up

711
00:57:58.880 --> 00:58:02.480
to at least take away all the
energy denied of what I' d been

712
00:58:02.559 --> 00:58:07.719
infecting all the time since it hit
me. But he assured me that it

713
00:58:07.840 --> 00:58:13.000
was too much negative energy to remove
it at once. He first smeared some

714
00:58:13.079 --> 00:58:16.679
oils on my back and then cleaned
me with pyrul branches, pulled an egg

715
00:58:16.760 --> 00:58:22.400
out of a blue box and started
passing it all over my body. However,

716
00:58:22.880 --> 00:58:28.960
barely touching my neck, the egg
exploded at first. I thought I

717
00:58:29.079 --> 00:58:32.239
might have pushed too hard. I
tried to sound nice and told him not

718
00:58:32.320 --> 00:58:37.840
to worry about it. Instead of
a quick response, he looked me straight

719
00:58:37.960 --> 00:58:43.960
into my eyes. Even he seemed
surprised by what had just happened. When

720
00:58:44.079 --> 00:58:47.039
I turned to the floor, I
realized that the yolk was completely black,

721
00:58:47.519 --> 00:58:52.559
but the egg smelled nothing. He
replied that it was not he who had

722
00:58:52.679 --> 00:58:58.000
to apologize and that, rather,
he would make me pray to the God

723
00:58:58.000 --> 00:59:01.880
of my choice. He tried to
get my information back. I guess a

724
00:59:02.039 --> 00:59:07.559
part of him didn' t think
all that was happening to me without me

725
00:59:07.679 --> 00:59:14.039
having any intention of provoking him.
However, I kept refusing to clarify that

726
00:59:14.159 --> 00:59:19.159
I always tried to follow the rules
for that moment. He was aware that

727
00:59:19.239 --> 00:59:23.239
that thing had been attached to me
for a long time, but I think

728
00:59:23.360 --> 00:59:28.800
at that point he felt that maybe
it had been about three or at most

729
00:59:28.880 --> 00:59:31.880
five years. I doubted he thought
I had it since I was a kid.

730
00:59:32.599 --> 00:59:37.880
In the end, after trying to
make it clean for a long time

731
00:59:37.039 --> 00:59:43.559
and see that nothing seemed to work, he told me that he wanted to

732
00:59:43.639 --> 00:59:47.199
try something else on the table and
around her he started throwing what seemed to

733
00:59:47.639 --> 00:59:52.480
be grain salt and lime held me
by the hands and began whispering some prayers,

734
00:59:53.079 --> 00:59:55.880
but I couldn' t understand what
he was saying because it wasn'

735
00:59:55.880 --> 01:00:00.400
t in Spanish. Suddenly, the
man seemed to enter a sort of trance.

736
01:00:01.440 --> 01:00:05.920
He squeezed my hands so hard that
I felt like I was gonna break

737
01:00:05.920 --> 01:00:08.880
them. Her eyes went blank and
she was trying to get her attention,

738
01:00:09.679 --> 01:00:15.000
telling her how much she was hurting
me and pulling my hands to let go.

739
01:00:15.639 --> 01:00:19.760
He didn' t seem to react, luckily, it only lasted about

740
01:00:19.840 --> 01:00:22.840
two or three minutes before he came
to himself. He looked very agitated and

741
01:00:22.920 --> 01:00:28.039
tired. He couldn' t even
talk to me as soon as he did.

742
01:00:28.119 --> 01:00:31.159
He was fully recovered. He told
me what he had seen was a

743
01:00:31.239 --> 01:00:37.000
very powerful demon entity. I asked
him if there was a way to try

744
01:00:37.000 --> 01:00:38.599
to take it off. After all, I hadn' t done anything,

745
01:00:39.239 --> 01:00:44.679
but he told me things couldn'
t be that simple. Whoever threw it

746
01:00:44.760 --> 01:00:49.480
at me had a lot of hate
for me and all you could do was

747
01:00:49.559 --> 01:00:52.800
try to put amulets and seals of
protection on me. But that this would

748
01:00:52.880 --> 01:00:58.719
only work if I knew exactly who
it was that had done it to me,

749
01:00:58.880 --> 01:01:06.000
because otherwise nothing I used or where
I went would work. This happened

750
01:01:06.119 --> 01:01:09.159
five years ago and since then,
what that man told me has been fulfilled.

751
01:01:10.719 --> 01:01:15.920
Things have gotten stronger and stronger every
day. I think I could end

752
01:01:15.039 --> 01:01:20.880
my life at any moment. Right
now I think maybe it' s best

753
01:01:21.000 --> 01:01:23.960
to just wait for that thing to
end with me once and for all.
