1
00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:10.640
I was about to turn fifteen.
It was tradition to choose a special person
2
00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:16.839
to give me a doll, which
symbolically represented my last toy. I chose
3
00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:22.480
my friend Mariana to be the one
to give me the doll. Upon arriving
4
00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:26.960
on the long awaited day, I
was standing, along with my relatives at
5
00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:32.159
the main entrance of the church to
enter Mass. I was looking for my
6
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:36.280
friend among those present. I wanted
to see my doll, but she didn
7
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:42.359
' t look anywhere. Before I
entered the temple, I looked back for
8
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:46.240
the last time to see if Mariana
had arrived, but she was not there.
9
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:50.520
I resigned myself to the fact that
I wouldn' t make it and
10
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:53.560
I came to the idea that I
wasn' t going to have that special
11
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:56.880
doll. The moment we arrived at
the casino, I saw Mariana standing waiting
12
00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:03.560
for me carrying a beautiful doll.
He was big, wearing a dress identical
13
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:07.519
to mine, with his hair long
and straight. After the party, my
14
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.040
friend stayed with me. There were
times when I was going home too,
15
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:18.439
so there was some sympathy from his
family with mine. As soon as we
16
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:22.079
got there, I took off my
dress next to my bed. I had
17
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:26.439
a desk with my music box that
my parents gave me. It was a
18
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:30.000
special box because it belonged to my
grandmother Mother. Next to the bureau I
19
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:36.000
put a rocking chair that also belonged
to my grandmother Paterna. That' s
20
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:40.200
where I put the doll. That
would be her special place to have her
21
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:44.760
very close as soon as I put
the wrist on her chair, perhaps because
22
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:49.359
of the impulse I made when I
sat her down In that place, the
23
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:52.200
rocking chair started to move very little. I sensed it, but I didn
24
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:57.000
' t give it enough attention.
I thought I did it unintentionally. I
25
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:00.519
even made the comment to my friend
in the form of a joke that my
26
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:07.200
wrist was also happy at home because
it immediately began to rock. We both
27
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:12.759
laughed and slept to rest The following
days I continued with my daily life.
28
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:17.159
I went to high school and came
back at noon. I was left alone
29
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:23.840
in the afternoon because my parents worked
all day. One of my brothers went
30
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:28.840
to high school and the other to
college. I had the afternoon for myself
31
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:31.360
I had already gotten used to being
alone for a space of four hours.
32
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:38.479
On many occasions I went to my
house Mariana we did the homework and ate
33
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:43.800
together. The food my mom was
making that afternoon was very rare, because
34
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:49.319
we rushed to finish our schoolwork so
we could see a horror movie right away.
35
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:54.199
I started cooking popcorn in the microwave, we closed the curtains so the
36
00:02:54.240 --> 00:03:00.639
house would get a little darker.
While we were eating popcorn, I heard
37
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:04.520
a noise inside my room. I
asked Mariana if she had heard it too.
38
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:09.039
She replied that she was not so
distracted that she did not realize it
39
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:13.680
without taking so much importance. We' re still watching the movie. Suddenly
40
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:19.400
I heard a heavy object fell out
of my room without saying anything. I
41
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:23.120
went straight to see what was going
on. There was a broken window glass.
42
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:28.039
Someone from the outside blew a stone. I snuck into the window,
43
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.879
but I couldn' t see anyone
with trouble. I went back to the
44
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:37.240
room, but it had not been
more than fifteen minutes when again the same
45
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:42.639
noise was heard. This time it
was another stone. I quickly left the
46
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:47.560
house. I could see two kids
in front hiding behind a tree. I
47
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:53.479
went straight with them. They tried
to run, but I caught one of
48
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:58.039
the shirt I told him I was
going to pay for the two broken glasses
49
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:01.000
between him and his friend. I
wasn' t gonna see them doing pranks
50
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:05.840
like that. I' ve never
bothered them before. The boy without answering
51
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:10.479
my question, pointed his finger at
the window of my house, telling me
52
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:15.919
that he was there again and that
he threw the stone at him because he
53
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:20.240
was very afraid I turned to see
what he meant I made a distinction that
54
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:25.600
someone was looking out of the window. I only distinguished a small head that
55
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:29.560
was barely visible. I told the
kid I had no right to throw stones
56
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:33.879
at my house just because someone showed
up. He insisted by telling me that
57
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:39.000
what he saw was not a person, it was someone ugly who scared him.
58
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:42.439
I didn' t want to keep
scolding him anymore. The little one
59
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:46.240
didn' t seem to understand.
I told him my mom was gonna talk
60
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:50.120
to him. Mariana was at the
front door trying to see what was going
61
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:54.480
on. When I was with her, she asked me what had happened.
62
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:58.319
Later, my friend went home when
my parents and brothers were still not here.
63
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:03.680
I started picking up the broken glass
in my room. While I was
64
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:08.800
doing it, I realized that my
wrist was on the bed. I thought
65
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:14.279
Mariana put it there when she was
out with the kids. As soon as
66
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:16.079
my mom arrived, I told her
what the neighbor' s kids did.
67
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:20.000
He went to talk to their mother. Upon his return, he told me
68
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:27.199
that the children were still scared because, according to them, they had seen
69
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:30.360
a small being looking out the window, she was a girl or a doll.
70
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:33.720
It was so weird that my mom
told me that. I had no
71
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:39.240
idea what I could do if even
my friend and I were inside the room.
72
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:45.199
I told my mom, but she
thought we were trying to scare the
73
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:50.720
kids. With my doll I went
to sleep later. When I woke up,
74
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:55.560
I realized it was already night.
I went out to the living room,
75
00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:59.279
but everyone was already asleep. When
I saw the time it was after
76
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:02.720
midnight. I' ve been looking
through the hole in my window. The
77
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:08.199
sky was cloudy. You didn'
t see the stars. It was a
78
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:14.639
bit windy in the glass holes.
He was threatening to rain all of a
79
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:17.279
sudden. I started listening to the
musical box, which sounded like his usual
80
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:24.000
note. The box had opened itself. I couldn' t find an explanation
81
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:28.920
for what was happening. I closed
the music box and kept thinking about what
82
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:32.759
was going on in my room.
It was the children first. Now the
83
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:39.480
box could no longer reflect, because
I heard the grinding of the wood rocking
84
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:45.360
machine. Slightly rocked, but he
managed to distinguish his movement and his sound.
85
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:49.240
As I creaked the wood, I
jumped out of bed and walked out
86
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:55.519
of the room. It was an
impulsive act because, as I was without
87
00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:59.759
shoes, I cut myself with some
of the glasses that I did not pick
88
00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:00.560
up the piece of Crystal I was
embedded in the sole of my foot.
89
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:04.920
When I took the glass out,
the blood didn' t stop. I
90
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:11.319
had to get my mom up to
help me stop the blood. My mom
91
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:15.480
got up right away. He disinfected
my wound, used bandages to stop the
92
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:20.639
bleeding and then put on an already
calmer patch. I could tell him something
93
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:26.160
strange was going on in my room. The music box was on alone.
94
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:30.800
The rocking chair began to move.
Besides, I had to believe that I
95
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:35.920
didn' t scare those kids.
She was more empathetic, too. She
96
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:42.040
told me the next day she'
d take care of checking my room.
97
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:47.279
Maybe it was a misunderstanding about the
kids and the music box. I probably
98
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:53.160
had some explanation. It had to
be taken into account that it was very
99
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:58.800
old. Maybe what I needed was
some repair. Similarly, I would clean
100
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:03.279
my room better so that another accident
would no longer happen to me. I
101
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:09.360
could go quieter to rest everything my
mother told me. I thought it was
102
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:13.959
true. There was a justification for
everything. I slept deeply without having a
103
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:20.600
bad thought. One night while I
was sleeping, the sound of lightning pulled
104
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:24.639
me out of sleep fell so close
that it made me wake up suddenly,
105
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:30.079
I lay down. Trying to sleep
again outside, it was heard raining with
106
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:35.639
force the wind shook the top of
the trees with intensity. It was one
107
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:39.480
night with a very strong storm.
Trying to regain my sleep, I was
108
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:46.919
covered with my blanket, watching the
rainwater hit the window glass hard. That
109
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:52.360
night I had left the curtain open
suddenly a lightning lit up for an instant
110
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:58.799
my room was when I saw her
doll turned her face towards me. I
111
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:03.480
doubted a little if nothing had ever
really seen his head turn. I was
112
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:09.600
attentive for a few minutes looking at
her without taking off my sight immediately,
113
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:13.159
I heard the rocking chair moved a
little. It was a sound that I
114
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:16.919
could barely hear, as the sound
of the rain was opacing it was true.
115
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:22.840
I could see the chair rocking.
I got so scared that I left
116
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:28.080
my room and stayed in the room
wrapped in the blanket. It was three
117
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:31.440
o' clock in the morning.
I was sitting on the couch. I
118
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:37.279
still had doubts about what I had
seen. It couldn' t be true
119
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:39.600
with care. I went to my
room. I opened the door very carefully
120
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:43.840
making as little noise as possible.
From there I could see the wrist,
121
00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:48.279
but the rocking chair was no longer
moving. I didn' t know what
122
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:52.440
to do or think. I couldn' t believe the doll had life.
123
00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:56.960
I decided to go back into my
room. I lay down to the other
124
00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:00.200
side of the bed, where I
could be as far away as possible.
125
00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:03.639
The rain was starting to calm down. I just heard the sound of the
126
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:09.080
wind. Little by little I calmed
down. He kept looking at the wrist.
127
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:16.000
Any sign of movement was enough to
leave immediately. I didn' t
128
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:20.600
know when the dream beat me I
woke up with the same position I slept
129
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:24.159
in. A scare took me When
I saw the doll beside me, His
130
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:30.279
head was resting on my pillow.
I jumped out of bed at the same
131
00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:33.080
time that I yelled scared at my
mom. She came in right away.
132
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:37.559
I asked her if she had put
the doll on my bed. I asked
133
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:41.639
him twice insistently. My mom had
no idea what I was talking about.
134
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:48.320
She looked at me strangely telling me
she hadn' t come into my room.
135
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:52.159
My screams made her go and see
what was happening right away. One
136
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:58.039
of my brothers came in asking what
was going on. My brother in a
137
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:03.480
mockery told me I was old enough
to be scared by a toy. The
138
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:05.720
best thing was for me to get
her out of my room and get her
139
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:11.360
settled. My brother made the comment
in the form of a joke and I
140
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.440
didn' t get a bad idea. I grabbed her and put her in
141
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:18.080
the living room. I asked my
mom if I didn' t mind getting
142
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:20.879
her out of my room and leaving
her on the couch. She told me
143
00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:26.399
there was no problem. I felt
it wasn' t enough. I was
144
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:28.919
scared of the doll. I didn' t want to say anything else to
145
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:33.000
my mom and brother because I felt
like they didn' t believe me.
146
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:37.519
I managed to go to school,
but every time I went through the room
147
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:43.039
I kept looking at the wrist I
had the feeling that at any moment I
148
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:48.360
was going to turn his face.
I couldn' t have her with me.
149
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:52.720
I thought I' d bring her
back to my friend. As soon
150
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:56.200
as I saw her in high school, I asked her why she gave me
151
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:01.559
the doll if she knew I had
something wrong. Mariana stared at me with
152
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:05.200
her eyes wide open. Mariana didn' t say anything, she kept quiet.
153
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:09.919
That made me even more angry.
I told her I' d take
154
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:13.840
her home in the afternoon. She
immediately said no, not because they didn
155
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:20.159
' t want her at home.
Your answer just bothered me more. She
156
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:24.480
also intrigued me I didn' t
talk to her anymore. I went to
157
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:28.960
the class that was already starting at
recess. I was already feeling calmer.
158
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:33.200
Mariana didn' t even try to
get close. It was on the other
159
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:37.559
side of the yard. I went
to her. She thought I was gonna
160
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:41.279
scold her again, but I didn' t do it anymore. I asked
161
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:45.559
him to explain to me why he
gave it to me. Doubting a little,
162
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:50.200
he told me he never intended to
hurt me. The gift wasn'
163
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:54.279
t malicious. She was quiet.
It didn' t seem easy for him
164
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:58.720
to talk about the doll. He
went on to say that the doll belonged
165
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:03.120
to his grandmother. It was a
toy that belonged to one of her daughters
166
00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:07.600
who died when she was a child. That' s why her grandmother kept
167
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:11.559
her and cared so fondly for her. The doll was one of her most
168
00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:16.200
precious objects because she considered it a
part of her deceased daughter. As his
169
00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:20.320
mother told him. When her grandmother
was on her deathbed, she asked to
170
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:24.879
have her wrist very close and hugged
her and died a few minutes later.
171
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:30.159
Her mother decided to stay with her
because she was a very valuable memory.
172
00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:35.360
What they never expected was to begin
to notice that the wrist moved, but
173
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:39.240
it always did at night. He
walked from one piece of furniture to another,
174
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:45.120
sometimes turning his head and others more
closed or opened his eyes. The
175
00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:50.200
worst thing happened when she once moved
her mouth as if trying to talk,
176
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:54.440
was when they put it inside a
box and kept it in the room of
177
00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:58.399
objects they didn' t use,
but she left that place and appeared again
178
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:03.240
in which er er erno part of
the house, mainly on the couch of
179
00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:07.559
the living room. The huge doubt
that I had and that I was very
180
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:11.840
uncomfortable with it was to know why
I had given it to myself if they
181
00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:13.799
already knew there was something disturbing about
it. I told Mariana. She lowered
182
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:20.399
her head again clarifying that it was
never her intention to harm me. On
183
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:24.360
one occasion they went with a seer, took her doll and she performed a
184
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:30.279
ritual to take away the spirit she
had attached. According to her, it
185
00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:33.519
was the soul of the grandmother who
was inside at the time of her death.
186
00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:37.519
As he embraced the wrist, there
was a transition from one part of
187
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:41.399
his soul into the object, not
to mention belonging to another person who died.
188
00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:46.360
It was a transfer of spirits.
That is why they had cared so
189
00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:52.320
fondly for her, because they felt
that they had a small essence of the
190
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:56.639
soul of their loved ones. But
a strange situation began to happen to one
191
00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:01.000
of Mariana' s sisters began to
camera her character according to what her mother
192
00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:07.240
said. He took attitudes from his
grandmother. She was talking about past things
193
00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:11.960
she hadn' t lived. He
said words and comments that only Mariana'
194
00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:16.960
s mother knew they belonged to her
own mother. It was disturbing to realize
195
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:22.120
that every day his sister became another
person with the essence of grandmother and daughter.
196
00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:30.879
Mariana kept telling me that they tried
to get rid of the toy by
197
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:33.559
throwing it in the trash, but
inexplicably she was returning to the house.
198
00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:39.559
They went back to the seer telling
her that one of Mariana' s sisters
199
00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:43.399
was beginning to have behaviors and attitudes
of both grandmother and daughter, and they
200
00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:50.000
were situations she had never lived before. The disturbing thing was when he talked
201
00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:56.600
about the grandfather and other deceased relatives, as if he had contact with them,
202
00:15:56.759 --> 00:16:00.279
as if a channel of communication of
the world of the living with that
203
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:04.519
of the dead had been opened.
Sometimes it was chilling to hear Mariana'
204
00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:11.159
s sister talk about what was in
the afterlife. He said there were faceless
205
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:15.240
beings who lost their memory. They
were wandering souls wandering in the dark.
206
00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:19.679
I didn' t know who they
were or who they were. They walked
207
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:26.759
in a dark place full of huge
trees and as they had no eyes or
208
00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:30.279
mouth with their noses, they were
guided by their instincts, but in many
209
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:34.519
of the times they clashed with other
souls with the trees or fell into the
210
00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:40.919
void. I couldn' t believe
everything Mariana told me. Knowing all that
211
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:45.240
he had still dared to give it
to me. My friend explained to me
212
00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:48.519
that when they went to talk to
the seer, she told them not to
213
00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:53.360
keep the cursed toy. The only
way the doll would no longer return with
214
00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:59.240
them was to give a gift to
another person who did not belong to his
215
00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:03.440
family, who had no blood bond, but not to an unknown person.
216
00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:07.440
They had to give it to someone
with whom they had another kind of bond
217
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:14.920
to counteract the effects of family ties. At the time I had mixed feelings.
218
00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:18.960
On the one hand, I understood
Mariana and her family why they had
219
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:25.920
done that, but I also resented
being given a curse because now I had
220
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:32.920
to carry it. Mariana interrupted me
by telling me they didn' t do
221
00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:36.960
it with any evil. The seer
assured them that by handing over the doll
222
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:41.880
to another person, the curse was
going to get there, because the lady
223
00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:45.799
also performed a ritual to the doll
to expel the spirit or spirits from her
224
00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:52.839
body. To conclude, it was
necessary to give it with affection and good
225
00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:57.119
intentions. Someone else who wasn'
t a relative was the only way to
226
00:17:57.160 --> 00:18:03.400
break the curse. It was life
that distressed him what was happening to me
227
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:07.599
in many ways. He told me
it was never his intention to hurt me
228
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:11.359
and I believed him I no longer
wanted to ask about what happened. The
229
00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:15.920
best thing was to find a solution
to what happened when I got home.
230
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:19.920
I wanted to tell her everything about
the doll, my mom, and that
231
00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:25.720
what those kids saw when they broke
the glass was real. They were very
232
00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:30.079
right to be scared, but she
had already gone to work. I was
233
00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:36.119
alone all afternoon. I can'
t deny that I was afraid to keep
234
00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:38.839
my wrist. After what Mariana told
me, I went to my bedroom and
235
00:18:40.279 --> 00:18:44.640
saw her sitting on the rocking chair. I closed the door to my room
236
00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:48.279
and set out to eat and do
my homework. I felt calmer knowing that
237
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:52.680
the wrist was locked and I wasn' t going to open the door until
238
00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:59.039
I spoke to my mother. We' d have to do something about it,
239
00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:00.960
but one more night, with the
miss, doll didn' t pretend
240
00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:07.359
to have it. I turned on
the TV as I ate all of a
241
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:10.279
sudden I caught up with the corner
of my eye that someone passed through the
242
00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:14.559
hallway. I stopped eating to go
see my room. I couldn' t
243
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:18.759
believe what I saw The door to
my room was open. It couldn'
244
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:22.400
t have been open. If I
had the only key. I was so
245
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:26.480
scared that all I thought about was
getting out of the house and getting me
246
00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:32.319
safe. I had no idea what
the intentions of that cursed toy were,
247
00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:37.640
because time had passed and it had
never hurt me, but I wasn'
248
00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:42.240
t planning on finding out either.
I grabbed my backpack and before I left
249
00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:47.640
I saw the doll sitting on the
couch. I stood there watching her without
250
00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:52.160
knowing what to do. At that
moment I began to feel dizzy and felt
251
00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:56.480
very bad. I didn' t
realize that I fell unconscious in which I
252
00:19:56.519 --> 00:20:00.039
saw in a dream an older woman
extending her hand to me was a woman
253
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:04.240
with white hair. He had it
picked up with a braid. He was
254
00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:07.559
wearing a long, wide skirt.
Next to her was a girl with an
255
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:14.200
extremely thin yellow complexion and her hair
up to her shoulders. They both saw
256
00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:18.279
me with a deep look. Behind
them I could see many more spirits moving
257
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:25.119
wandering in the darkness. I had
an unexplained fear. When I was conscious.
258
00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:29.559
By my side was my mom and
one of my brothers told me that
259
00:20:29.880 --> 00:20:33.519
the doctor was already on his way, because it was hard to make me
260
00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:38.440
react. My vitals went down a
lot. They were afraid something serious would
261
00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:44.200
have happened to me. A few
minutes later they knocked on the door.
262
00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:48.440
It was the family doctor my mom
called the doctor checked me out. He
263
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:52.839
told my mom that I was in
good condition, but to make sure everything
264
00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:57.279
was okay, he sent me to
do a series of studies to rule out
265
00:20:57.319 --> 00:21:03.640
any illness. My reaction to being
conscious was to look for the wrist,
266
00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:07.839
but it wasn' t on the
couch. I wanted to get up and
267
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:11.440
I couldn' t do it because
I felt a terrible dizziness. The doctor
268
00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:15.720
told me to take it easy.
I' d be better in no time.
269
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:19.319
I asked quickly about the wrist.
My brothers didn' t know what
270
00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:23.079
was going on with the wrist,
so one of them went by the wrist
271
00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:27.400
to my room and put it in
my arms. The first thing I did
272
00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:33.480
was see her terrified. While I
saw her clearly when she closed my eyes,
273
00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:37.799
I screamed like crazy and threw her
to the floor When the doctor saw
274
00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:41.799
me in that state, he suggested
that I also be taken to the psychologist
275
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:45.920
and, if necessary, to the
psychiatrist. I didn' t require any
276
00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:51.160
studies or another doctor. What urged
me was to get rid of that cursed
277
00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:55.960
doll, but my family still didn' t know everything Mariana told me.
278
00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:00.160
As soon as the doctor left the
house. As they eat, he hurried
279
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:03.920
to tell my parents and brothers what
I knew for Mariana and what I saw
280
00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:08.279
when I was unconscious, but they
did not give credit to my words.
281
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:14.960
I got hysterical when I told them
I didn' t want to be with
282
00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:18.720
the wrist anymore. My mom,
trying to calm me down, told me
283
00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:22.319
not to worry. I was going
to take her to her room with all
284
00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:26.240
the medications the doctor gave me.
I began to feel a lot of sleep
285
00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:32.720
soon fell asleep. It was probably
a tranquilizer he gave me to calm down,
286
00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:37.799
but all he got was for me
to fall asleep and be dreaming about
287
00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:44.440
people who had died. Surely in
the morning the effect of the drug they
288
00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:48.640
supplied me was gone because I woke
up a noise in my room. I
289
00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:52.599
saw the figure of someone small moving
on the floor. I didn' t
290
00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:56.359
see it clearly, but I had
no doubts anymore. It was the doll
291
00:22:56.480 --> 00:23:00.960
I was looking for to be with
me. It' s been paralyzed by
292
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:03.920
fear. I didn' t scream
so I wouldn' t wake my family.
293
00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:07.200
Besides, they reacted in a way
I didn' t like. They
294
00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:11.160
were going to give me more painkillers
and those weren' t going to solve
295
00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:15.680
the problem. I went the other
way. From my bed stuck to the
296
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:21.960
wall From before I had no doubt
that it was her, but to perceive
297
00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:26.799
that I was inside my room in
the morning looking for me that filled me
298
00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:30.680
with a deep fear. I couldn' t tell exactly where I was.
299
00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:37.039
He only listened to the light footprints
of his body. For a few seconds
300
00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:41.279
I stopped hearing her. That'
s when with horror I noticed I was
301
00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:44.799
starting to climb into my bed through
my quilt. I had no more room
302
00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:48.880
to get away from her. With
great care, I moved to the other
303
00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:53.880
side of the bed. Suddenly I
saw when she stood upright on my bed.
304
00:23:55.519 --> 00:23:59.200
I could only look at his silhouette
through the little light that came through
305
00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:03.160
the window. I didn' t
stay out of my room any longer because
306
00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:07.680
of my nerves. I got entangled
in the blanket and fell to the floor,
307
00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:12.200
but that didn' t stop me
from running away as soon as possible
308
00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:17.079
and sneaking out of my room.
When I opened the door, I scared
309
00:24:17.119 --> 00:24:21.319
you even more because my mom was
standing there. I screamed more scared.
310
00:24:21.839 --> 00:24:23.960
My mother asked me not to make
a noise with her finger. He kept
311
00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:29.920
signaling me to shut up. He
grabbed my hand and took me elsewhere in
312
00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:34.920
the house to a safer place.
When we felt more protected, my mom
313
00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:40.759
hugged me by telling me she was
right about everything. The next day I
314
00:24:40.880 --> 00:24:44.119
' d look for a way to
get rid of her. He asked me
315
00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:48.839
not to go to high school,
unless I had something important to deliver or
316
00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:53.119
some test to get rid of the
wrist. I couldn' t stay in
317
00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:59.000
our house any longer. We sat
on the couch of the room any external
318
00:24:59.079 --> 00:25:03.759
sound. We were jumping out of
fear. It was a few hours that
319
00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:08.640
seemed eternal to us, as at
any moment we feared that he would appear
320
00:25:08.759 --> 00:25:11.359
or that he would come back to
us. It didn' t happen that
321
00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:15.839
way. As soon as it started
to dawn, my mom took her stuff,
322
00:25:17.200 --> 00:25:21.440
asked me to manage to get out. I didn' t want to
323
00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:25.599
because all my belongings were inside my
room and I didn' t want to
324
00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:30.119
go in. My mom accompanied me, had a black bag and a towel
325
00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:33.799
with her. Before I entered my
room. We' re standing still.
326
00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:40.039
We didn' t dare enter,
but after a few seconds we did it
327
00:25:40.119 --> 00:25:44.359
very carefully. My mother opened the
door. I was after her. For
328
00:25:44.519 --> 00:25:48.680
a moment I thought that object was
going to be thrown on my mom or
329
00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:52.279
on top of me and I wouldn' t be able to get it off
330
00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:55.599
my back. But it didn'
t happen like that. There she was
331
00:25:56.039 --> 00:26:00.759
lying on my pillow in my bed
trying to make as little noise as possible.
332
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:03.440
My mom wrapped it in the towel
and put it inside the bag.
333
00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:11.599
He made a strong marre to prevent
her from leaving immediately. He asked for
334
00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:15.720
a cab service and we left the
house. I had no idea where we
335
00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:19.119
were going or what my mom intended
to do. Since it was too early,
336
00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:22.640
there wasn' t much traffic.
Soon we arrived at the place my
337
00:26:22.759 --> 00:26:27.119
mom told the taxi driver. The
house we arrived at was small and humble.
338
00:26:29.160 --> 00:26:33.079
My mother knocked on the door without
anyone taking care of us. He
339
00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:37.440
looked at his watch, telling me
it was too early, and he played
340
00:26:37.440 --> 00:26:41.160
harder. I could hear a few
slow steps approaching the door, as well
341
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:47.079
as the key. When she entered
the lock, an older woman with her
342
00:26:47.160 --> 00:26:52.599
loose white hair appeared. My mom
told him she was recommended. Upon entering
343
00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:57.440
the room, it was surprising to
see how many images of saints each had
344
00:26:59.119 --> 00:27:03.160
with their respective candlestick, as well
as a large altar to an angel.
345
00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:07.079
My mother didn' t get into
much detail about the wrist. Apparently,
346
00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:14.240
the lady was already aware of at
least the most important things. The lady
347
00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:18.279
offered us a wooden chair to sit
down and started asking me if the doll
348
00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:23.480
had tried to hurt me. At
some point I was quiet for a few
349
00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:30.359
minutes trying to remember, but I
wasn' t sure that I hadn'
350
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:33.240
t been hurt and so I told
the lady. The lady asked for the
351
00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:37.680
bag. My mother was told that
when there was a curse on a doll,
352
00:27:38.200 --> 00:27:44.640
who owns it acquires everything that concerns
the object. When he asked the
353
00:27:44.759 --> 00:27:48.519
question whether he had hurt me or
tried it, it was because it could
354
00:27:48.599 --> 00:27:52.880
be an evil being that was inside
her, but since it did not happen
355
00:27:53.000 --> 00:27:57.680
that way, it meant that there
was a soul or spirit in sorrow that
356
00:27:57.720 --> 00:28:02.720
lodged in the wrist to be able
to live on. The lady was interrupting
357
00:28:02.839 --> 00:28:07.480
to tell him that it was not
just a spirit, but two. It
358
00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:11.599
was when I began to tell her
everything my friend Mariana told me as I
359
00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:17.680
told her all the details, she
told me that it was going to be
360
00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:21.680
difficult for, after so long,
the spirit of those two souls to go
361
00:28:21.799 --> 00:28:26.200
to a place of peace. It
was obvious that something stopped them. The
362
00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:30.039
lady got up to take the inside
of the bag to the wrist carefully.
363
00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:36.599
He saw her and told us that
she was a very beautiful and very old
364
00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:40.599
doll and, indeed, her body
housed two spirits. He told us we
365
00:28:40.680 --> 00:28:45.720
could leave the doll to work with
her for a week. I was going
366
00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:48.240
to try to get the souls out
of her so they could cross over to
367
00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:53.319
the hereafter. I left the place
with a strange feeling. I thought the
368
00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:57.720
lady was gonna make me a clean
one to pray and do things I'
369
00:28:57.880 --> 00:29:03.720
d seen in the movies, but
she didn' t just say the patient
370
00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:07.960
was the doll. I didn'
t leave the place a little confused.
371
00:29:08.599 --> 00:29:12.200
On the way back, my mom
asked me what she thought of the lady.
372
00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:18.759
I said I wish it all would
work. I reserved my doubts.
373
00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:22.160
As soon as we get to the
house. I felt a sense of relief
374
00:29:22.319 --> 00:29:26.000
to know that the doll was no
longer in the house. I could'
375
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:30.960
ve been quieter. While I was
alone for a while. I got the
376
00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:36.559
distrust of him walking around. Faced
with any noise I heard, I was
377
00:29:36.720 --> 00:29:40.799
careful to see what it was about, but everything was in order. During
378
00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:45.599
the night I could rest only that
the next day, very early, the
379
00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:49.640
phone rang. My mom was the
one who always got up. Early,
380
00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:53.880
when I saw his face, I
knew it was about the doll. As
381
00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:59.039
soon as she hung up, my
mom told me she was the lady we
382
00:29:59.119 --> 00:30:03.039
took her doll to ask her to
go immediately for her. My mom didn
383
00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:07.480
' t give me any more details. We left in the cab. I
384
00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:11.079
was baffled because my mom didn'
t tell me anything. As soon as
385
00:30:11.160 --> 00:30:15.200
we got to Mrs Ella' s
house, she was already waiting for us
386
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:18.920
with the door open. The whole
inside of the house was in complete disarray.
387
00:30:19.359 --> 00:30:23.400
The pictures of saints were fallen with
the broken glass, the candlelights,
388
00:30:23.519 --> 00:30:30.720
also the dehujad flowers everywhere, the
furniture moved, some torn from the cloth
389
00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:36.519
and one of the wooden chairs was
broken. It was impossible to stop her.
390
00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:40.519
He wanted to give it back to
us. Of course, both my
391
00:30:40.599 --> 00:30:45.440
mother and I said no. We
didn' t want her what we could
392
00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:48.599
do. The lady gave us the
answer. Return it to the person who
393
00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:52.440
gave it to you, because those
spirits you have did not belong to us.
394
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:56.839
They were theirs. My mother accepted, gave her payment to the lady
395
00:30:56.960 --> 00:31:02.640
and we immediately went to Mariana'
s house. Since it was still early,
396
00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:06.440
everyone was at home. My mom
asked Mariana' s mom to talk
397
00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:11.480
to her. He explained everything to
her and told her the doll was his
398
00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:15.960
property. It was up to them
to fix what was going on with her
399
00:31:17.119 --> 00:31:21.000
and their souls and never to give
it back to anyone else. Mariana'
400
00:31:21.119 --> 00:31:26.960
s mother and my friend were embarrassed. They asked us for an apology telling
401
00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:30.559
us they never wanted to transfer any
curses. The person who oriented them was
402
00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:36.839
an obvious one who assured that,
by giving it to someone other than a
403
00:31:36.880 --> 00:31:41.440
blood relative, the curse would end. The souls were going to continue on
404
00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:47.000
their way to the hereafter. I
left my friend' s house with mixed
405
00:31:47.079 --> 00:31:52.559
feelings. I was very fond of
her and her family, but I didn
406
00:31:52.680 --> 00:31:59.519
' t like what they did premeditatedly. Our friendship relationship continued, but not
407
00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:05.640
as close as it was before.
As for the doll, I don'
408
00:32:05.759 --> 00:32:09.640
t know what happened or what continued
to happen, because I never asked about
409
00:32:09.640 --> 00:32:14.000
her again. I think they took
her with a priest to help them,
410
00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:20.759
but I don' t know if
it really worked, because I realized Mariana
411
00:32:20.960 --> 00:32:23.680
kept investigating who could help her.
From the little I know, there are
412
00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:28.799
souls who cling to some non-
living object so they can get what they
413
00:32:29.200 --> 00:32:35.920
could not do in life. Story
written and adapted by Adriana Cuevas
1
00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:10.640
I was about to turn fifteen.
It was tradition to choose a special person
2
00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:16.839
to give me a doll, which
symbolically represented my last toy. I chose
3
00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:22.480
my friend Mariana to be the one
to give me the doll. Upon arriving
4
00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:26.960
on the long awaited day, I
was standing, along with my relatives at
5
00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:32.159
the main entrance of the church to
enter Mass. I was looking for my
6
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:36.280
friend among those present. I wanted
to see my doll, but she didn
7
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:42.359
' t look anywhere. Before I
entered the temple, I looked back for
8
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:46.240
the last time to see if Mariana
had arrived, but she was not there.
9
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:50.520
I resigned myself to the fact that
I wouldn' t make it and
10
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:53.560
I came to the idea that I
wasn' t going to have that special
11
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:56.880
doll. The moment we arrived at
the casino, I saw Mariana standing waiting
12
00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:03.560
for me carrying a beautiful doll.
He was big, wearing a dress identical
13
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:07.519
to mine, with his hair long
and straight. After the party, my
14
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.040
friend stayed with me. There were
times when I was going home too,
15
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:18.439
so there was some sympathy from his
family with mine. As soon as we
16
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:22.079
got there, I took off my
dress next to my bed. I had
17
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:26.439
a desk with my music box that
my parents gave me. It was a
18
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:30.000
special box because it belonged to my
grandmother Mother. Next to the bureau I
19
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:36.000
put a rocking chair that also belonged
to my grandmother Paterna. That' s
20
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:40.200
where I put the doll. That
would be her special place to have her
21
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:44.760
very close as soon as I put
the wrist on her chair, perhaps because
22
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:49.359
of the impulse I made when I
sat her down In that place, the
23
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:52.200
rocking chair started to move very little. I sensed it, but I didn
24
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:57.000
' t give it enough attention.
I thought I did it unintentionally. I
25
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:00.519
even made the comment to my friend
in the form of a joke that my
26
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:07.200
wrist was also happy at home because
it immediately began to rock. We both
27
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:12.759
laughed and slept to rest The following
days I continued with my daily life.
28
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:17.159
I went to high school and came
back at noon. I was left alone
29
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:23.840
in the afternoon because my parents worked
all day. One of my brothers went
30
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:28.840
to high school and the other to
college. I had the afternoon for myself
31
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:31.360
I had already gotten used to being
alone for a space of four hours.
32
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:38.479
On many occasions I went to my
house Mariana we did the homework and ate
33
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:43.800
together. The food my mom was
making that afternoon was very rare, because
34
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:49.319
we rushed to finish our schoolwork so
we could see a horror movie right away.
35
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:54.199
I started cooking popcorn in the microwave, we closed the curtains so the
36
00:02:54.240 --> 00:03:00.639
house would get a little darker.
While we were eating popcorn, I heard
37
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:04.520
a noise inside my room. I
asked Mariana if she had heard it too.
38
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:09.039
She replied that she was not so
distracted that she did not realize it
39
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:13.680
without taking so much importance. We' re still watching the movie. Suddenly
40
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:19.400
I heard a heavy object fell out
of my room without saying anything. I
41
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:23.120
went straight to see what was going
on. There was a broken window glass.
42
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:28.039
Someone from the outside blew a stone. I snuck into the window,
43
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.879
but I couldn' t see anyone
with trouble. I went back to the
44
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:37.240
room, but it had not been
more than fifteen minutes when again the same
45
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:42.639
noise was heard. This time it
was another stone. I quickly left the
46
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:47.560
house. I could see two kids
in front hiding behind a tree. I
47
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:53.479
went straight with them. They tried
to run, but I caught one of
48
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:58.039
the shirt I told him I was
going to pay for the two broken glasses
49
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:01.000
between him and his friend. I
wasn' t gonna see them doing pranks
50
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:05.840
like that. I' ve never
bothered them before. The boy without answering
51
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:10.479
my question, pointed his finger at
the window of my house, telling me
52
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:15.919
that he was there again and that
he threw the stone at him because he
53
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:20.240
was very afraid I turned to see
what he meant I made a distinction that
54
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:25.600
someone was looking out of the window. I only distinguished a small head that
55
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:29.560
was barely visible. I told the
kid I had no right to throw stones
56
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:33.879
at my house just because someone showed
up. He insisted by telling me that
57
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:39.000
what he saw was not a person, it was someone ugly who scared him.
58
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:42.439
I didn' t want to keep
scolding him anymore. The little one
59
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:46.240
didn' t seem to understand.
I told him my mom was gonna talk
60
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:50.120
to him. Mariana was at the
front door trying to see what was going
61
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:54.480
on. When I was with her, she asked me what had happened.
62
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:58.319
Later, my friend went home when
my parents and brothers were still not here.
63
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:03.680
I started picking up the broken glass
in my room. While I was
64
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:08.800
doing it, I realized that my
wrist was on the bed. I thought
65
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:14.279
Mariana put it there when she was
out with the kids. As soon as
66
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:16.079
my mom arrived, I told her
what the neighbor' s kids did.
67
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:20.000
He went to talk to their mother. Upon his return, he told me
68
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:27.199
that the children were still scared because, according to them, they had seen
69
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:30.360
a small being looking out the window, she was a girl or a doll.
70
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:33.720
It was so weird that my mom
told me that. I had no
71
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:39.240
idea what I could do if even
my friend and I were inside the room.
72
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:45.199
I told my mom, but she
thought we were trying to scare the
73
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:50.720
kids. With my doll I went
to sleep later. When I woke up,
74
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:55.560
I realized it was already night.
I went out to the living room,
75
00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:59.279
but everyone was already asleep. When
I saw the time it was after
76
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:02.720
midnight. I' ve been looking
through the hole in my window. The
77
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:08.199
sky was cloudy. You didn'
t see the stars. It was a
78
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:14.639
bit windy in the glass holes.
He was threatening to rain all of a
79
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:17.279
sudden. I started listening to the
musical box, which sounded like his usual
80
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:24.000
note. The box had opened itself. I couldn' t find an explanation
81
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:28.920
for what was happening. I closed
the music box and kept thinking about what
82
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:32.759
was going on in my room.
It was the children first. Now the
83
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:39.480
box could no longer reflect, because
I heard the grinding of the wood rocking
84
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:45.360
machine. Slightly rocked, but he
managed to distinguish his movement and his sound.
85
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:49.240
As I creaked the wood, I
jumped out of bed and walked out
86
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:55.519
of the room. It was an
impulsive act because, as I was without
87
00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:59.759
shoes, I cut myself with some
of the glasses that I did not pick
88
00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:00.560
up the piece of Crystal I was
embedded in the sole of my foot.
89
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:04.920
When I took the glass out,
the blood didn' t stop. I
90
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:11.319
had to get my mom up to
help me stop the blood. My mom
91
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:15.480
got up right away. He disinfected
my wound, used bandages to stop the
92
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:20.639
bleeding and then put on an already
calmer patch. I could tell him something
93
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:26.160
strange was going on in my room. The music box was on alone.
94
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:30.800
The rocking chair began to move.
Besides, I had to believe that I
95
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:35.920
didn' t scare those kids.
She was more empathetic, too. She
96
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:42.040
told me the next day she'
d take care of checking my room.
97
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:47.279
Maybe it was a misunderstanding about the
kids and the music box. I probably
98
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:53.160
had some explanation. It had to
be taken into account that it was very
99
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:58.800
old. Maybe what I needed was
some repair. Similarly, I would clean
100
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:03.279
my room better so that another accident
would no longer happen to me. I
101
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:09.360
could go quieter to rest everything my
mother told me. I thought it was
102
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:13.959
true. There was a justification for
everything. I slept deeply without having a
103
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:20.600
bad thought. One night while I
was sleeping, the sound of lightning pulled
104
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:24.639
me out of sleep fell so close
that it made me wake up suddenly,
105
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:30.079
I lay down. Trying to sleep
again outside, it was heard raining with
106
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:35.639
force the wind shook the top of
the trees with intensity. It was one
107
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:39.480
night with a very strong storm.
Trying to regain my sleep, I was
108
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:46.919
covered with my blanket, watching the
rainwater hit the window glass hard. That
109
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:52.360
night I had left the curtain open
suddenly a lightning lit up for an instant
110
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:58.799
my room was when I saw her
doll turned her face towards me. I
111
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:03.480
doubted a little if nothing had ever
really seen his head turn. I was
112
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:09.600
attentive for a few minutes looking at
her without taking off my sight immediately,
113
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:13.159
I heard the rocking chair moved a
little. It was a sound that I
114
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:16.919
could barely hear, as the sound
of the rain was opacing it was true.
115
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:22.840
I could see the chair rocking.
I got so scared that I left
116
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:28.080
my room and stayed in the room
wrapped in the blanket. It was three
117
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:31.440
o' clock in the morning.
I was sitting on the couch. I
118
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:37.279
still had doubts about what I had
seen. It couldn' t be true
119
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:39.600
with care. I went to my
room. I opened the door very carefully
120
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:43.840
making as little noise as possible.
From there I could see the wrist,
121
00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:48.279
but the rocking chair was no longer
moving. I didn' t know what
122
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:52.440
to do or think. I couldn' t believe the doll had life.
123
00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:56.960
I decided to go back into my
room. I lay down to the other
124
00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:00.200
side of the bed, where I
could be as far away as possible.
125
00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:03.639
The rain was starting to calm down. I just heard the sound of the
126
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:09.080
wind. Little by little I calmed
down. He kept looking at the wrist.
127
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:16.000
Any sign of movement was enough to
leave immediately. I didn' t
128
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:20.600
know when the dream beat me I
woke up with the same position I slept
129
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:24.159
in. A scare took me When
I saw the doll beside me, His
130
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:30.279
head was resting on my pillow.
I jumped out of bed at the same
131
00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:33.080
time that I yelled scared at my
mom. She came in right away.
132
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:37.559
I asked her if she had put
the doll on my bed. I asked
133
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:41.639
him twice insistently. My mom had
no idea what I was talking about.
134
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:48.320
She looked at me strangely telling me
she hadn' t come into my room.
135
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:52.159
My screams made her go and see
what was happening right away. One
136
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:58.039
of my brothers came in asking what
was going on. My brother in a
137
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:03.480
mockery told me I was old enough
to be scared by a toy. The
138
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:05.720
best thing was for me to get
her out of my room and get her
139
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:11.360
settled. My brother made the comment
in the form of a joke and I
140
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.440
didn' t get a bad idea. I grabbed her and put her in
141
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:18.080
the living room. I asked my
mom if I didn' t mind getting
142
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:20.879
her out of my room and leaving
her on the couch. She told me
143
00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:26.399
there was no problem. I felt
it wasn' t enough. I was
144
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:28.919
scared of the doll. I didn' t want to say anything else to
145
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:33.000
my mom and brother because I felt
like they didn' t believe me.
146
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:37.519
I managed to go to school,
but every time I went through the room
147
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:43.039
I kept looking at the wrist I
had the feeling that at any moment I
148
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:48.360
was going to turn his face.
I couldn' t have her with me.
149
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:52.720
I thought I' d bring her
back to my friend. As soon
150
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:56.200
as I saw her in high school, I asked her why she gave me
151
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:01.559
the doll if she knew I had
something wrong. Mariana stared at me with
152
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:05.200
her eyes wide open. Mariana didn' t say anything, she kept quiet.
153
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:09.919
That made me even more angry.
I told her I' d take
154
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:13.840
her home in the afternoon. She
immediately said no, not because they didn
155
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:20.159
' t want her at home.
Your answer just bothered me more. She
156
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:24.480
also intrigued me I didn' t
talk to her anymore. I went to
157
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:28.960
the class that was already starting at
recess. I was already feeling calmer.
158
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:33.200
Mariana didn' t even try to
get close. It was on the other
159
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:37.559
side of the yard. I went
to her. She thought I was gonna
160
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:41.279
scold her again, but I didn' t do it anymore. I asked
161
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:45.559
him to explain to me why he
gave it to me. Doubting a little,
162
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:50.200
he told me he never intended to
hurt me. The gift wasn'
163
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:54.279
t malicious. She was quiet.
It didn' t seem easy for him
164
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:58.720
to talk about the doll. He
went on to say that the doll belonged
165
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:03.120
to his grandmother. It was a
toy that belonged to one of her daughters
166
00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:07.600
who died when she was a child. That' s why her grandmother kept
167
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:11.559
her and cared so fondly for her. The doll was one of her most
168
00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:16.200
precious objects because she considered it a
part of her deceased daughter. As his
169
00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:20.320
mother told him. When her grandmother
was on her deathbed, she asked to
170
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:24.879
have her wrist very close and hugged
her and died a few minutes later.
171
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:30.159
Her mother decided to stay with her
because she was a very valuable memory.
172
00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:35.360
What they never expected was to begin
to notice that the wrist moved, but
173
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:39.240
it always did at night. He
walked from one piece of furniture to another,
174
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:45.120
sometimes turning his head and others more
closed or opened his eyes. The
175
00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:50.200
worst thing happened when she once moved
her mouth as if trying to talk,
176
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:54.440
was when they put it inside a
box and kept it in the room of
177
00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:58.399
objects they didn' t use,
but she left that place and appeared again
178
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:03.240
in which er er erno part of
the house, mainly on the couch of
179
00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:07.559
the living room. The huge doubt
that I had and that I was very
180
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:11.840
uncomfortable with it was to know why
I had given it to myself if they
181
00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:13.799
already knew there was something disturbing about
it. I told Mariana. She lowered
182
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:20.399
her head again clarifying that it was
never her intention to harm me. On
183
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:24.360
one occasion they went with a seer, took her doll and she performed a
184
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:30.279
ritual to take away the spirit she
had attached. According to her, it
185
00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:33.519
was the soul of the grandmother who
was inside at the time of her death.
186
00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:37.519
As he embraced the wrist, there
was a transition from one part of
187
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:41.399
his soul into the object, not
to mention belonging to another person who died.
188
00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:46.360
It was a transfer of spirits.
That is why they had cared so
189
00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:52.320
fondly for her, because they felt
that they had a small essence of the
190
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:56.639
soul of their loved ones. But
a strange situation began to happen to one
191
00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:01.000
of Mariana' s sisters began to
camera her character according to what her mother
192
00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:07.240
said. He took attitudes from his
grandmother. She was talking about past things
193
00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:11.960
she hadn' t lived. He
said words and comments that only Mariana'
194
00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:16.960
s mother knew they belonged to her
own mother. It was disturbing to realize
195
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:22.120
that every day his sister became another
person with the essence of grandmother and daughter.
196
00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:30.879
Mariana kept telling me that they tried
to get rid of the toy by
197
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:33.559
throwing it in the trash, but
inexplicably she was returning to the house.
198
00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:39.559
They went back to the seer telling
her that one of Mariana' s sisters
199
00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:43.399
was beginning to have behaviors and attitudes
of both grandmother and daughter, and they
200
00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:50.000
were situations she had never lived before. The disturbing thing was when he talked
201
00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:56.600
about the grandfather and other deceased relatives, as if he had contact with them,
202
00:15:56.759 --> 00:16:00.279
as if a channel of communication of
the world of the living with that
203
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:04.519
of the dead had been opened.
Sometimes it was chilling to hear Mariana'
204
00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:11.159
s sister talk about what was in
the afterlife. He said there were faceless
205
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:15.240
beings who lost their memory. They
were wandering souls wandering in the dark.
206
00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:19.679
I didn' t know who they
were or who they were. They walked
207
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:26.759
in a dark place full of huge
trees and as they had no eyes or
208
00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:30.279
mouth with their noses, they were
guided by their instincts, but in many
209
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:34.519
of the times they clashed with other
souls with the trees or fell into the
210
00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:40.919
void. I couldn' t believe
everything Mariana told me. Knowing all that
211
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:45.240
he had still dared to give it
to me. My friend explained to me
212
00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:48.519
that when they went to talk to
the seer, she told them not to
213
00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:53.360
keep the cursed toy. The only
way the doll would no longer return with
214
00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:59.240
them was to give a gift to
another person who did not belong to his
215
00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:03.440
family, who had no blood bond, but not to an unknown person.
216
00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:07.440
They had to give it to someone
with whom they had another kind of bond
217
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:14.920
to counteract the effects of family ties. At the time I had mixed feelings.
218
00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:18.960
On the one hand, I understood
Mariana and her family why they had
219
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:25.920
done that, but I also resented
being given a curse because now I had
220
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:32.920
to carry it. Mariana interrupted me
by telling me they didn' t do
221
00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:36.960
it with any evil. The seer
assured them that by handing over the doll
222
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:41.880
to another person, the curse was
going to get there, because the lady
223
00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:45.799
also performed a ritual to the doll
to expel the spirit or spirits from her
224
00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:52.839
body. To conclude, it was
necessary to give it with affection and good
225
00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:57.119
intentions. Someone else who wasn'
t a relative was the only way to
226
00:17:57.160 --> 00:18:03.400
break the curse. It was life
that distressed him what was happening to me
227
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:07.599
in many ways. He told me
it was never his intention to hurt me
228
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:11.359
and I believed him I no longer
wanted to ask about what happened. The
229
00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:15.920
best thing was to find a solution
to what happened when I got home.
230
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:19.920
I wanted to tell her everything about
the doll, my mom, and that
231
00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:25.720
what those kids saw when they broke
the glass was real. They were very
232
00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:30.079
right to be scared, but she
had already gone to work. I was
233
00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:36.119
alone all afternoon. I can'
t deny that I was afraid to keep
234
00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:38.839
my wrist. After what Mariana told
me, I went to my bedroom and
235
00:18:40.279 --> 00:18:44.640
saw her sitting on the rocking chair. I closed the door to my room
236
00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:48.279
and set out to eat and do
my homework. I felt calmer knowing that
237
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:52.680
the wrist was locked and I wasn' t going to open the door until
238
00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:59.039
I spoke to my mother. We' d have to do something about it,
239
00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:00.960
but one more night, with the
miss, doll didn' t pretend
240
00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:07.359
to have it. I turned on
the TV as I ate all of a
241
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:10.279
sudden I caught up with the corner
of my eye that someone passed through the
242
00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:14.559
hallway. I stopped eating to go
see my room. I couldn' t
243
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:18.759
believe what I saw The door to
my room was open. It couldn'
244
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:22.400
t have been open. If I
had the only key. I was so
245
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:26.480
scared that all I thought about was
getting out of the house and getting me
246
00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:32.319
safe. I had no idea what
the intentions of that cursed toy were,
247
00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:37.640
because time had passed and it had
never hurt me, but I wasn'
248
00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:42.240
t planning on finding out either.
I grabbed my backpack and before I left
249
00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:47.640
I saw the doll sitting on the
couch. I stood there watching her without
250
00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:52.160
knowing what to do. At that
moment I began to feel dizzy and felt
251
00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:56.480
very bad. I didn' t
realize that I fell unconscious in which I
252
00:19:56.519 --> 00:20:00.039
saw in a dream an older woman
extending her hand to me was a woman
253
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:04.240
with white hair. He had it
picked up with a braid. He was
254
00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:07.559
wearing a long, wide skirt.
Next to her was a girl with an
255
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:14.200
extremely thin yellow complexion and her hair
up to her shoulders. They both saw
256
00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:18.279
me with a deep look. Behind
them I could see many more spirits moving
257
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:25.119
wandering in the darkness. I had
an unexplained fear. When I was conscious.
258
00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:29.559
By my side was my mom and
one of my brothers told me that
259
00:20:29.880 --> 00:20:33.519
the doctor was already on his way, because it was hard to make me
260
00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:38.440
react. My vitals went down a
lot. They were afraid something serious would
261
00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:44.200
have happened to me. A few
minutes later they knocked on the door.
262
00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:48.440
It was the family doctor my mom
called the doctor checked me out. He
263
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:52.839
told my mom that I was in
good condition, but to make sure everything
264
00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:57.279
was okay, he sent me to
do a series of studies to rule out
265
00:20:57.319 --> 00:21:03.640
any illness. My reaction to being
conscious was to look for the wrist,
266
00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:07.839
but it wasn' t on the
couch. I wanted to get up and
267
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:11.440
I couldn' t do it because
I felt a terrible dizziness. The doctor
268
00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:15.720
told me to take it easy.
I' d be better in no time.
269
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:19.319
I asked quickly about the wrist.
My brothers didn' t know what
270
00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:23.079
was going on with the wrist,
so one of them went by the wrist
271
00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:27.400
to my room and put it in
my arms. The first thing I did
272
00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:33.480
was see her terrified. While I
saw her clearly when she closed my eyes,
273
00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:37.799
I screamed like crazy and threw her
to the floor When the doctor saw
274
00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:41.799
me in that state, he suggested
that I also be taken to the psychologist
275
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:45.920
and, if necessary, to the
psychiatrist. I didn' t require any
276
00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:51.160
studies or another doctor. What urged
me was to get rid of that cursed
277
00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:55.960
doll, but my family still didn' t know everything Mariana told me.
278
00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:00.160
As soon as the doctor left the
house. As they eat, he hurried
279
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:03.920
to tell my parents and brothers what
I knew for Mariana and what I saw
280
00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:08.279
when I was unconscious, but they
did not give credit to my words.
281
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:14.960
I got hysterical when I told them
I didn' t want to be with
282
00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:18.720
the wrist anymore. My mom,
trying to calm me down, told me
283
00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:22.319
not to worry. I was going
to take her to her room with all
284
00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:26.240
the medications the doctor gave me.
I began to feel a lot of sleep
285
00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:32.720
soon fell asleep. It was probably
a tranquilizer he gave me to calm down,
286
00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:37.799
but all he got was for me
to fall asleep and be dreaming about
287
00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:44.440
people who had died. Surely in
the morning the effect of the drug they
288
00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:48.640
supplied me was gone because I woke
up a noise in my room. I
289
00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:52.599
saw the figure of someone small moving
on the floor. I didn' t
290
00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:56.359
see it clearly, but I had
no doubts anymore. It was the doll
291
00:22:56.480 --> 00:23:00.960
I was looking for to be with
me. It' s been paralyzed by
292
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:03.920
fear. I didn' t scream
so I wouldn' t wake my family.
293
00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:07.200
Besides, they reacted in a way
I didn' t like. They
294
00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:11.160
were going to give me more painkillers
and those weren' t going to solve
295
00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:15.680
the problem. I went the other
way. From my bed stuck to the
296
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:21.960
wall From before I had no doubt
that it was her, but to perceive
297
00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:26.799
that I was inside my room in
the morning looking for me that filled me
298
00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:30.680
with a deep fear. I couldn' t tell exactly where I was.
299
00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:37.039
He only listened to the light footprints
of his body. For a few seconds
300
00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:41.279
I stopped hearing her. That'
s when with horror I noticed I was
301
00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:44.799
starting to climb into my bed through
my quilt. I had no more room
302
00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:48.880
to get away from her. With
great care, I moved to the other
303
00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:53.880
side of the bed. Suddenly I
saw when she stood upright on my bed.
304
00:23:55.519 --> 00:23:59.200
I could only look at his silhouette
through the little light that came through
305
00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:03.160
the window. I didn' t
stay out of my room any longer because
306
00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:07.680
of my nerves. I got entangled
in the blanket and fell to the floor,
307
00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:12.200
but that didn' t stop me
from running away as soon as possible
308
00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:17.079
and sneaking out of my room.
When I opened the door, I scared
309
00:24:17.119 --> 00:24:21.319
you even more because my mom was
standing there. I screamed more scared.
310
00:24:21.839 --> 00:24:23.960
My mother asked me not to make
a noise with her finger. He kept
311
00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:29.920
signaling me to shut up. He
grabbed my hand and took me elsewhere in
312
00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:34.920
the house to a safer place.
When we felt more protected, my mom
313
00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:40.759
hugged me by telling me she was
right about everything. The next day I
314
00:24:40.880 --> 00:24:44.119
' d look for a way to
get rid of her. He asked me
315
00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:48.839
not to go to high school,
unless I had something important to deliver or
316
00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:53.119
some test to get rid of the
wrist. I couldn' t stay in
317
00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:59.000
our house any longer. We sat
on the couch of the room any external
318
00:24:59.079 --> 00:25:03.759
sound. We were jumping out of
fear. It was a few hours that
319
00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:08.640
seemed eternal to us, as at
any moment we feared that he would appear
320
00:25:08.759 --> 00:25:11.359
or that he would come back to
us. It didn' t happen that
321
00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:15.839
way. As soon as it started
to dawn, my mom took her stuff,
322
00:25:17.200 --> 00:25:21.440
asked me to manage to get out. I didn' t want to
323
00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:25.599
because all my belongings were inside my
room and I didn' t want to
324
00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:30.119
go in. My mom accompanied me, had a black bag and a towel
325
00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:33.799
with her. Before I entered my
room. We' re standing still.
326
00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:40.039
We didn' t dare enter,
but after a few seconds we did it
327
00:25:40.119 --> 00:25:44.359
very carefully. My mother opened the
door. I was after her. For
328
00:25:44.519 --> 00:25:48.680
a moment I thought that object was
going to be thrown on my mom or
329
00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:52.279
on top of me and I wouldn' t be able to get it off
330
00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:55.599
my back. But it didn'
t happen like that. There she was
331
00:25:56.039 --> 00:26:00.759
lying on my pillow in my bed
trying to make as little noise as possible.
332
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:03.440
My mom wrapped it in the towel
and put it inside the bag.
333
00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:11.599
He made a strong marre to prevent
her from leaving immediately. He asked for
334
00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:15.720
a cab service and we left the
house. I had no idea where we
335
00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:19.119
were going or what my mom intended
to do. Since it was too early,
336
00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:22.640
there wasn' t much traffic.
Soon we arrived at the place my
337
00:26:22.759 --> 00:26:27.119
mom told the taxi driver. The
house we arrived at was small and humble.
338
00:26:29.160 --> 00:26:33.079
My mother knocked on the door without
anyone taking care of us. He
339
00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:37.440
looked at his watch, telling me
it was too early, and he played
340
00:26:37.440 --> 00:26:41.160
harder. I could hear a few
slow steps approaching the door, as well
341
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:47.079
as the key. When she entered
the lock, an older woman with her
342
00:26:47.160 --> 00:26:52.599
loose white hair appeared. My mom
told him she was recommended. Upon entering
343
00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:57.440
the room, it was surprising to
see how many images of saints each had
344
00:26:59.119 --> 00:27:03.160
with their respective candlestick, as well
as a large altar to an angel.
345
00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:07.079
My mother didn' t get into
much detail about the wrist. Apparently,
346
00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:14.240
the lady was already aware of at
least the most important things. The lady
347
00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:18.279
offered us a wooden chair to sit
down and started asking me if the doll
348
00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:23.480
had tried to hurt me. At
some point I was quiet for a few
349
00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:30.359
minutes trying to remember, but I
wasn' t sure that I hadn'
350
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:33.240
t been hurt and so I told
the lady. The lady asked for the
351
00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:37.680
bag. My mother was told that
when there was a curse on a doll,
352
00:27:38.200 --> 00:27:44.640
who owns it acquires everything that concerns
the object. When he asked the
353
00:27:44.759 --> 00:27:48.519
question whether he had hurt me or
tried it, it was because it could
354
00:27:48.599 --> 00:27:52.880
be an evil being that was inside
her, but since it did not happen
355
00:27:53.000 --> 00:27:57.680
that way, it meant that there
was a soul or spirit in sorrow that
356
00:27:57.720 --> 00:28:02.720
lodged in the wrist to be able
to live on. The lady was interrupting
357
00:28:02.839 --> 00:28:07.480
to tell him that it was not
just a spirit, but two. It
358
00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:11.599
was when I began to tell her
everything my friend Mariana told me as I
359
00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:17.680
told her all the details, she
told me that it was going to be
360
00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:21.680
difficult for, after so long,
the spirit of those two souls to go
361
00:28:21.799 --> 00:28:26.200
to a place of peace. It
was obvious that something stopped them. The
362
00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:30.039
lady got up to take the inside
of the bag to the wrist carefully.
363
00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:36.599
He saw her and told us that
she was a very beautiful and very old
364
00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:40.599
doll and, indeed, her body
housed two spirits. He told us we
365
00:28:40.680 --> 00:28:45.720
could leave the doll to work with
her for a week. I was going
366
00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:48.240
to try to get the souls out
of her so they could cross over to
367
00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:53.319
the hereafter. I left the place
with a strange feeling. I thought the
368
00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:57.720
lady was gonna make me a clean
one to pray and do things I'
369
00:28:57.880 --> 00:29:03.720
d seen in the movies, but
she didn' t just say the patient
370
00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:07.960
was the doll. I didn'
t leave the place a little confused.
371
00:29:08.599 --> 00:29:12.200
On the way back, my mom
asked me what she thought of the lady.
372
00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:18.759
I said I wish it all would
work. I reserved my doubts.
373
00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:22.160
As soon as we get to the
house. I felt a sense of relief
374
00:29:22.319 --> 00:29:26.000
to know that the doll was no
longer in the house. I could'
375
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:30.960
ve been quieter. While I was
alone for a while. I got the
376
00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:36.559
distrust of him walking around. Faced
with any noise I heard, I was
377
00:29:36.720 --> 00:29:40.799
careful to see what it was about, but everything was in order. During
378
00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:45.599
the night I could rest only that
the next day, very early, the
379
00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:49.640
phone rang. My mom was the
one who always got up. Early,
380
00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:53.880
when I saw his face, I
knew it was about the doll. As
381
00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:59.039
soon as she hung up, my
mom told me she was the lady we
382
00:29:59.119 --> 00:30:03.039
took her doll to ask her to
go immediately for her. My mom didn
383
00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:07.480
' t give me any more details. We left in the cab. I
384
00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:11.079
was baffled because my mom didn'
t tell me anything. As soon as
385
00:30:11.160 --> 00:30:15.200
we got to Mrs Ella' s
house, she was already waiting for us
386
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:18.920
with the door open. The whole
inside of the house was in complete disarray.
387
00:30:19.359 --> 00:30:23.400
The pictures of saints were fallen with
the broken glass, the candlelights,
388
00:30:23.519 --> 00:30:30.720
also the dehujad flowers everywhere, the
furniture moved, some torn from the cloth
389
00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:36.519
and one of the wooden chairs was
broken. It was impossible to stop her.
390
00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:40.519
He wanted to give it back to
us. Of course, both my
391
00:30:40.599 --> 00:30:45.440
mother and I said no. We
didn' t want her what we could
392
00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:48.599
do. The lady gave us the
answer. Return it to the person who
393
00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:52.440
gave it to you, because those
spirits you have did not belong to us.
394
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:56.839
They were theirs. My mother accepted, gave her payment to the lady
395
00:30:56.960 --> 00:31:02.640
and we immediately went to Mariana'
s house. Since it was still early,
396
00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:06.440
everyone was at home. My mom
asked Mariana' s mom to talk
397
00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:11.480
to her. He explained everything to
her and told her the doll was his
398
00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:15.960
property. It was up to them
to fix what was going on with her
399
00:31:17.119 --> 00:31:21.000
and their souls and never to give
it back to anyone else. Mariana'
400
00:31:21.119 --> 00:31:26.960
s mother and my friend were embarrassed. They asked us for an apology telling
401
00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:30.559
us they never wanted to transfer any
curses. The person who oriented them was
402
00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:36.839
an obvious one who assured that,
by giving it to someone other than a
403
00:31:36.880 --> 00:31:41.440
blood relative, the curse would end. The souls were going to continue on
404
00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:47.000
their way to the hereafter. I
left my friend' s house with mixed
405
00:31:47.079 --> 00:31:52.559
feelings. I was very fond of
her and her family, but I didn
406
00:31:52.680 --> 00:31:59.519
' t like what they did premeditatedly. Our friendship relationship continued, but not
407
00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:05.640
as close as it was before.
As for the doll, I don'
408
00:32:05.759 --> 00:32:09.640
t know what happened or what continued
to happen, because I never asked about
409
00:32:09.640 --> 00:32:14.000
her again. I think they took
her with a priest to help them,
410
00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:20.759
but I don' t know if
it really worked, because I realized Mariana
411
00:32:20.960 --> 00:32:23.680
kept investigating who could help her.
From the little I know, there are
412
00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:28.799
souls who cling to some non-
living object so they can get what they
413
00:32:29.200 --> 00:32:35.920
could not do in life. Story
