1
00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:11.160
My family is usually ordinary. We
are quiet and as far as friendly neighbors.
2
00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:15.960
Sometimes we bother like anyone else and
seek to help others. However,
3
00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:21.679
we have a particular situation and it
is that it torments us a curse that
4
00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:26.320
we have been carrying for years because
of a bad payment that my grandfather made
5
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:32.359
with a witch the colony where my
grandfather lived as a child there was a
6
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:36.479
rumor that there was a witch.
It was really a woman who practiced chiromancia.
7
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:41.920
She read the palm of her hand
to the neighbors, guessing the future.
8
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:46.399
My grandfather thought it was fun,
so he asked him to guess the
9
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:50.520
future. However, he warned him
that if things did not happen as he
10
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:54.759
had indicated, he would not pay
him. But to my grandfather' s
11
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:58.759
bad fortune, the things the witch
told him happened almost to the letter,
12
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:03.039
because or because of what she already
owed to the Witch, my grandfather refused
13
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:07.200
to pay, so he ignored her
for a while and despite the witch'
14
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:14.599
s warnings, he ignored her.
After a while, the lady warned him
15
00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:19.439
more than if he did not pay, they would pay the consequences, not
16
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:23.120
only him, but also his children
and the children of his children. But
17
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:30.400
my grandfather ignored her. That'
s when it all started. Days after
18
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:34.280
he broke his promise with the witch, while lying down, he heard a
19
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:40.200
noise coming from outside. He slept
on the first floor in front of a
20
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:45.159
window, which led directly to the
street. He got up to look out,
21
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:48.719
but he didn' t find anything
weird. He swore to have heard
22
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:53.319
that someone was running from one side
to the other as if they were surrounding
23
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:57.079
the house, but as much as
he paid attention and looked carefully, he
24
00:01:57.599 --> 00:01:59.519
couldn' t see anything, so
he went back to bed. He tried
25
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:02.560
to distract a little by thinking about
the things he had to do the next
26
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:07.599
day. In this way he managed
to fall asleep and when he was about
27
00:02:07.639 --> 00:02:13.120
to fall asleep, they touched the
window as if they had done it with
28
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:16.879
their fists closed. His senses were
energized. He realized there was really something
29
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:23.199
out there. He stared for a
few seconds at the window, which suddenly
30
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:28.919
opened, letting in an icy stream
of air. Then he distinguished that something
31
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:32.639
was lurking in the darkness just behind
the curtain. He didn' t know
32
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:37.560
what moment he was in. Until
a few seconds ago the window had opened
33
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:42.599
and he saw nothing happen, but
now there was something coming out of the
34
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:46.319
curtains. Suddenly he heard several steps
approaching his bed and before him rose the
35
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:52.840
figure of a woman with scars on
her face and black eyes. My grandfather
36
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:57.879
perceived the look of this woman and
in turn felt a gigantic weight on her
37
00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:01.280
chest. The air ate him to
miss. He could not take away the
38
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:06.479
gaze of that woman who seemed to
speak in another language. My grandfather started
39
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:09.000
coughing. He didn' t get
any air in his lungs. The woman
40
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:15.159
vanished and my grandfather caught his breath
instantly whatever it was. My grandfather knew
41
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:20.120
well that that had been a result
of the promise he broke with the Witch.
42
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:24.159
So, without waiting the next day, after he got up, he
43
00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:29.120
went to look for the witch.
However, it was no longer possible for
44
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:31.439
him to find her. As much
as she asked where the lady who read
45
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:36.599
her hands was. No one was
able to give you any indication. The
46
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:42.280
woman had grabbed her things and left
without warning anyone. That' s when
47
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:46.120
my grandfather realized the problem he'
d gotten into. For the next few
48
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:50.759
nights, my grandfather couldn' t
sleep peacefully. I had a feeling that
49
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:54.599
that woman would appear before him again, but the only thing she could see
50
00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:59.639
was an owl in the top of
a tree. He did not pay much
51
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:03.159
attention to his first nights, but
as the days passed, the owl came
52
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:08.240
closer to the house. My grandfather
thought that maybe he was making a nest,
53
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:13.800
until one night that idea changed.
My grandfather came back from playing football.
54
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:16.839
He was very tired, so he
just walked into his room without turning
55
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:20.600
on the light and lay down to
sleep. It was then that he felt
56
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:26.120
that he was not alone in bed
without opening his eyes. He raised his
57
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:30.959
hand to touch the side of the
bed and could feel two huge, sharp,
58
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:36.720
frightened nails. He rose quickly from
the bed and looked around. There
59
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:43.000
was a huge lump that opened his
two bright eyes. It was the owl
60
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:46.040
who spoke to him and told him
you didn' t pay your debt.
61
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:51.199
The owl walked away, flew from
the window and disappeared into the dark of
62
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:59.040
the night. Since then, my
grandfather became very perceptible before apparitions. He
63
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:02.720
heard people talking in the hallways of
the house, shadows moving quickly to the
64
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:08.560
corners and even calling him at night
by his name. My grandfather was a
65
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:12.199
bundle of nerves to such an extent
that the family had to move for my
66
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:15.639
grandfather' s mental health. He
helped this for a few years. My
67
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:19.759
grandfather had a chance to make his
life normal. He had four children,
68
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:25.959
one of whom is my father.
Over the years, my grandfather warned his
69
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:30.480
children of this curse and that they
should be attentive to any eventuality presented to
70
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:35.240
them by the witch. He had
set him free, but without a doubt,
71
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:40.439
his children were now following him.
My father used to go to a
72
00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:46.040
lathe shop to prepare material to sell. Very often. He stayed late working
73
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:50.439
and asked his employer for permission to
continue making material. He was never denied
74
00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:56.759
it. The only condition was that
he shut down the workshop. One night
75
00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:00.959
while my father was working he decided
to turn on the pia radio to work
76
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:05.040
accompanied by music, when suddenly someone
turned it off. At that time the
77
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:10.040
radio they used was one of the
most modern, so it seemed strange to
78
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:14.240
him that it had broken down on
its own. He came up to her
79
00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:17.240
and turned it on again. However, he was no longer picking up any
80
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:23.160
radio signals. He thought maybe the
radio had lost the signal, so he
81
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:27.680
left it on with the loud volume, waiting for the signal to return.
82
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:34.040
Only the pure static was heard.
In a way, that was relaxing for
83
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:42.040
him. Until the static began to
distort. My father stared at the radio,
84
00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:46.800
and this was happening. When someone
approached the radio, the signal didn
85
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:50.199
' t go well because the frequency
was blocked. But on that occasion my
86
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:56.680
father was suddenly alone on the radio. A voice began to be heard,
87
00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:00.639
which at first was imperceptible. My
father thought the signal had finally returned,
88
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:08.199
but this voice seemed different from that
of some speaker or singer. The voice
89
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:11.720
took that of a woman who kept
saying the same thing, until it was
90
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:16.879
heard quite clearly, your father has
not paid his debt. It was what
91
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:21.480
my father heard then, from the
top of the ceiling, that my father
92
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:28.240
realized that there was an owl watching
Alletó very strongly that the wind caused by
93
00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:32.680
his wings reached my father. The
bird moved away from there, perplexing him.
94
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:39.800
The next few days were heavy for
my father. At night, while
95
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:44.600
he slept, he saw in his
dreams a woman with scars on her face.
96
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:48.160
She didn' t seem to be
an ordinary woman. It was disturbing
97
00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:53.959
to look at her. My father
woke up agitated sweating cold. I didn
98
00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:58.000
' t know what I could do, so he chose to finally tell Grandpa.
99
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:01.680
My grandfather accompanied my father a couple
of times at night to meet Grandma
100
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:07.560
and finally pay her debt, but
she never appeared in the form of a
101
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:13.600
new owl. My grandfather missed a
chance to pay him. The family had
102
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:20.360
to get used to the series of
events that were happening to them all over
103
00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:24.360
the place. Things were whistling at
night and when everyone was asleep, it
104
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:30.199
was something that happened and they had
to get used to it. Years later,
105
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:35.399
fate called my grandfather died of so
much smoking. There was no chance
106
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:39.720
of saying goodbye to him. I
got to know him in life. He
107
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:43.720
even carried me in his arms when
I was little, but with the passage
108
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:48.039
of time everything is forgotten with the
exception of debts. My father kept a
109
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:54.440
portrait of my grandfather' s face
in his fourth year after my grandfather'
110
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:58.759
s death and when he was old, my father told me all this and
111
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:03.600
the witch' s curse. Even
though my grandfather had already died, it
112
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:07.080
was important that I knew. According
to my father, something quite disturbing happened
113
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:11.200
to me in my case. A
week ago I was alone at home.
114
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:16.440
My parents had gone to a birthday
of a friendship of old. I told
115
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:22.399
them I wanted to stay home watching
TV. In a way, I knew
116
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:26.120
they wouldn' t come back early, so I stayed up late watching TV.
117
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.320
It was already 1: 00 a
m when I got a little hungry.
118
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:35.039
I had bought some snacks at the
store a little before they closed,
119
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:39.960
so I opened them and set myself
up to consume them. Just when I
120
00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:43.919
was about to give her the first
bite, I heard a noise I swore
121
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:50.080
came from the second floor. I
left things on the table and went to
122
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:54.279
check the sound. It was very
similar to when something fell on the floor,
123
00:09:54.919 --> 00:10:00.519
so I figured it could be the
closet. I looked carefully and even
124
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:05.159
looked at the other rooms, but
found nothing out of the ordinary or out
125
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:09.240
of place, so I chose to
go back and watch TV. But just
126
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:13.720
as I arrived in the living room, to my surprise, the TV was
127
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:18.399
off. We don' t have
it scheduled to go off alone, so
128
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:22.360
I found it quite strange. I
turned it on and put back on the
129
00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:26.960
program I was watching, but almost
instantly another noise was heard, but this
130
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:35.120
time with more intensity. It was
so loud the noise that I really scared
131
00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:37.240
myself running up to look at myself, but I didn' t see anything
132
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:41.320
out of place. However, a
strange lump in one of the windows caught
133
00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:46.360
my attention. It was a round
lump that stood out from everything. I
134
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:52.360
stood by for a few seconds trying
to find him a figure and then two
135
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:58.320
bright round eyes opened wide. It
was an owl. He stared at me.
136
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:03.000
He seemed to be analyzing every move
he made. I kept asking myself
137
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:07.559
what the hell an owl was doing
in my house. I remembered that my
138
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:11.960
father saw one when he was little
and assured me that they were bad,
139
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:15.000
especially because of what had happened to
him. It started to scare me.
140
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:20.320
I had to do something to drive
him away, so I quickly looked for
141
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:22.759
something to scare him. Then I
remembered that in the bathroom was a broom,
142
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:26.960
which my mother left there by the
time she took care of it.
143
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:31.320
I went to get her and when
I came back to scare the owl,
144
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:35.360
this one was gone. The noises
were now heard on the ground floor.
145
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:39.000
I didn' t understand how the
bird was now on the other floor.
146
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:45.480
If the only place to get to
him was down the stairs, I rushed
147
00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:48.519
down the stairs with the broom in
hand. Then I realized that the new
148
00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:54.080
account TV was off and not just
that. The lights in the kitchen turned
149
00:11:54.120 --> 00:12:00.840
on and off constantly. I realized
something bad was going on, so I
150
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:07.639
ran my phone to dial my parents. I felt my heart beating so hard
151
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:11.799
that I almost felt it coming out
and when the phone or tone in front
152
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:16.679
of me was the owl, its
bright eyes seemed to hypnotize me. My
153
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:22.000
body responded on its own. The
broom got loose from my hands and I
154
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:24.600
couldn' t move my eyes.
I realized things were shaking, they were
155
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:30.559
wobbly from one side to the other. The bird turned around and went into
156
00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:37.320
a room. Suddenly it changed shape
to that of a person. I couldn
157
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:41.000
' t tell if it was a
man or a woman. I was totally
158
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:46.639
paralyzed and then the person came out
of the room and climbed the stairs.
159
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:50.360
Within a few seconds I recovered the
movement in my arms and legs. I
160
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:56.080
rushed up and could only tell how
that bird came out of the window.
161
00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:01.279
My parents soon marked me that I
had marked them, but I didn'
162
00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:05.879
t answer them. They only heard
strange noises on the other side of the
163
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:09.159
horn and didn' t answer them. That' s when I realized it
164
00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:11.759
' s been more than two hours
since it all started. I didn'
165
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:16.440
t feel the time pass so fast
or at least it wasn' t what
166
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:20.559
I felt. My heart was still
beating hard, so I asked my parents
167
00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:26.159
to come back soon. That morning
we talked a little bit about what happened.
168
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:31.320
I was already calmer, so I
could tell them things better. My
169
00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:35.240
father, hearing my story, suddenly
rose from the chair and went to his
170
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:41.320
room. My mother and I did
not know what had happened, but at
171
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:46.639
one point he returned alarmed indicating that
his father' s photograph was not in
172
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:52.399
place. My father was disturbed by
the disappearance of my grandfather' s photograph.
173
00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:56.960
We went through the house searching every
corner, but there was no trace
174
00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:01.000
of it. It was strange,
as my father had always kept that photograph
175
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:05.799
in a safe place and never moved
it from there. We decided to check
176
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:11.440
the rest of the house, but
everything seemed to be in order, except
177
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:16.200
for the tense atmosphere that felt.
It was as if something was watching us
178
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:20.399
from the shadows waiting for the right
time to act. I couldn' t
179
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:26.639
stop thinking about the owl. My
father suggested that perhaps someone had entered the
180
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:31.159
house and had taken the photograph and
that there was no connection with what happened
181
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:33.960
that night, but I knew in
the depths of my being that it was
182
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:39.320
not so and that there was a
strong relationship with the curse that had haunted
183
00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:43.919
us for generations. By my father' s decision, we decided not to
184
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:48.679
talk about it anymore at the moment
and tried to keep the day normal,
185
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:54.919
but it was difficult to ignore the
feeling of discomfort that was looming over us
186
00:14:56.000 --> 00:15:00.679
that night, while we were silently
dining a noise coming from the basement,
187
00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:03.639
we were not jumped out of our
seats. My father and I looked at
188
00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:07.480
each other with concern. As my
mother clung to her rosary with her eyes
189
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:15.399
closed in a silent prayer with caution, we headed to the basement armed with
190
00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:20.159
a flashlight and a crucifix that my
mother had taken from the wall as she
191
00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:24.639
opened the door, a chill ran
through my back as I felt a gust
192
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:28.559
of cold air coming from the darkest. We slowly descended down the stairs.
193
00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:33.399
The basement was barely lit by the
dim light of my father' s flashlight.
194
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:39.480
That' s when we saw him, a hooded figure standing in the
195
00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:43.240
middle of the room, with his
arms stretched out in a sinister gesture.
196
00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:48.919
We could not see his face,
but we could feel his gaze fixed on
197
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:54.960
us, as if he were devouring
our souls with his eyes empty. My
198
00:15:54.000 --> 00:16:00.679
father took a challenging step forward and
demanded that he identify himself, but the
199
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:06.320
figure did not respond. He just
stood there like a statue. Then,
200
00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:11.200
with a sudden movement, the figure
raised his hand and pointed towards a dark
201
00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:15.080
corner of the basement. My father
and I followed his gaze and saw something
202
00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:19.639
that iced us. The blood,
my grandfather' s broken and torn photograph
203
00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:25.919
lay on the ground next to a
puddle of water. Before we could react,
204
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:30.440
the figure disappeared into the shadows,
leaving us alone in the darkness of
205
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:37.240
the basement. We looked at each
other without words, knowing that something dark
206
00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:41.480
and evil had happened, but in
a way we realized that perhaps there was
207
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:47.320
no way the debt could be settled. Now that the witch realized Grandpa'
208
00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:52.879
s death. But I really can' t tell you that, because things
209
00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:59.320
are still happening in my house and
the owl keeps showing up almost every night.
210
00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:03.919
Written and adapted by the language of
the sorcerer
1
00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:11.160
My family is usually ordinary. We
are quiet and as far as friendly neighbors.
2
00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:15.960
Sometimes we bother like anyone else and
seek to help others. However,
3
00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:21.679
we have a particular situation and it
is that it torments us a curse that
4
00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:26.320
we have been carrying for years because
of a bad payment that my grandfather made
5
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:32.359
with a witch the colony where my
grandfather lived as a child there was a
6
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:36.479
rumor that there was a witch.
It was really a woman who practiced chiromancia.
7
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:41.920
She read the palm of her hand
to the neighbors, guessing the future.
8
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:46.399
My grandfather thought it was fun,
so he asked him to guess the
9
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:50.520
future. However, he warned him
that if things did not happen as he
10
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:54.759
had indicated, he would not pay
him. But to my grandfather' s
11
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:58.759
bad fortune, the things the witch
told him happened almost to the letter,
12
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:03.039
because or because of what she already
owed to the Witch, my grandfather refused
13
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:07.200
to pay, so he ignored her
for a while and despite the witch'
14
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:14.599
s warnings, he ignored her.
After a while, the lady warned him
15
00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:19.439
more than if he did not pay, they would pay the consequences, not
16
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:23.120
only him, but also his children
and the children of his children. But
17
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:30.400
my grandfather ignored her. That'
s when it all started. Days after
18
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:34.280
he broke his promise with the witch, while lying down, he heard a
19
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:40.200
noise coming from outside. He slept
on the first floor in front of a
20
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:45.159
window, which led directly to the
street. He got up to look out,
21
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:48.719
but he didn' t find anything
weird. He swore to have heard
22
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:53.319
that someone was running from one side
to the other as if they were surrounding
23
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:57.079
the house, but as much as
he paid attention and looked carefully, he
24
00:01:57.599 --> 00:01:59.519
couldn' t see anything, so
he went back to bed. He tried
25
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:02.560
to distract a little by thinking about
the things he had to do the next
26
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:07.599
day. In this way he managed
to fall asleep and when he was about
27
00:02:07.639 --> 00:02:13.120
to fall asleep, they touched the
window as if they had done it with
28
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:16.879
their fists closed. His senses were
energized. He realized there was really something
29
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:23.199
out there. He stared for a
few seconds at the window, which suddenly
30
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:28.919
opened, letting in an icy stream
of air. Then he distinguished that something
31
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:32.639
was lurking in the darkness just behind
the curtain. He didn' t know
32
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:37.560
what moment he was in. Until
a few seconds ago the window had opened
33
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:42.599
and he saw nothing happen, but
now there was something coming out of the
34
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:46.319
curtains. Suddenly he heard several steps
approaching his bed and before him rose the
35
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:52.840
figure of a woman with scars on
her face and black eyes. My grandfather
36
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:57.879
perceived the look of this woman and
in turn felt a gigantic weight on her
37
00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:01.280
chest. The air ate him to
miss. He could not take away the
38
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:06.479
gaze of that woman who seemed to
speak in another language. My grandfather started
39
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:09.000
coughing. He didn' t get
any air in his lungs. The woman
40
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:15.159
vanished and my grandfather caught his breath
instantly whatever it was. My grandfather knew
41
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:20.120
well that that had been a result
of the promise he broke with the Witch.
42
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:24.159
So, without waiting the next day, after he got up, he
43
00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:29.120
went to look for the witch.
However, it was no longer possible for
44
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:31.439
him to find her. As much
as she asked where the lady who read
45
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:36.599
her hands was. No one was
able to give you any indication. The
46
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:42.280
woman had grabbed her things and left
without warning anyone. That' s when
47
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:46.120
my grandfather realized the problem he'
d gotten into. For the next few
48
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:50.759
nights, my grandfather couldn' t
sleep peacefully. I had a feeling that
49
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:54.599
that woman would appear before him again, but the only thing she could see
50
00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:59.639
was an owl in the top of
a tree. He did not pay much
51
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:03.159
attention to his first nights, but
as the days passed, the owl came
52
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:08.240
closer to the house. My grandfather
thought that maybe he was making a nest,
53
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:13.800
until one night that idea changed.
My grandfather came back from playing football.
54
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:16.839
He was very tired, so he
just walked into his room without turning
55
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:20.600
on the light and lay down to
sleep. It was then that he felt
56
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:26.120
that he was not alone in bed
without opening his eyes. He raised his
57
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:30.959
hand to touch the side of the
bed and could feel two huge, sharp,
58
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:36.720
frightened nails. He rose quickly from
the bed and looked around. There
59
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:43.000
was a huge lump that opened his
two bright eyes. It was the owl
60
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:46.040
who spoke to him and told him
you didn' t pay your debt.
61
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:51.199
The owl walked away, flew from
the window and disappeared into the dark of
62
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:59.040
the night. Since then, my
grandfather became very perceptible before apparitions. He
63
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:02.720
heard people talking in the hallways of
the house, shadows moving quickly to the
64
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:08.560
corners and even calling him at night
by his name. My grandfather was a
65
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:12.199
bundle of nerves to such an extent
that the family had to move for my
66
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:15.639
grandfather' s mental health. He
helped this for a few years. My
67
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:19.759
grandfather had a chance to make his
life normal. He had four children,
68
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:25.959
one of whom is my father.
Over the years, my grandfather warned his
69
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:30.480
children of this curse and that they
should be attentive to any eventuality presented to
70
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:35.240
them by the witch. He had
set him free, but without a doubt,
71
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:40.439
his children were now following him.
My father used to go to a
72
00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:46.040
lathe shop to prepare material to sell. Very often. He stayed late working
73
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:50.439
and asked his employer for permission to
continue making material. He was never denied
74
00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:56.759
it. The only condition was that
he shut down the workshop. One night
75
00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:00.959
while my father was working he decided
to turn on the pia radio to work
76
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:05.040
accompanied by music, when suddenly someone
turned it off. At that time the
77
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:10.040
radio they used was one of the
most modern, so it seemed strange to
78
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:14.240
him that it had broken down on
its own. He came up to her
79
00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:17.240
and turned it on again. However, he was no longer picking up any
80
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:23.160
radio signals. He thought maybe the
radio had lost the signal, so he
81
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:27.680
left it on with the loud volume, waiting for the signal to return.
82
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:34.040
Only the pure static was heard.
In a way, that was relaxing for
83
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:42.040
him. Until the static began to
distort. My father stared at the radio,
84
00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:46.800
and this was happening. When someone
approached the radio, the signal didn
85
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:50.199
' t go well because the frequency
was blocked. But on that occasion my
86
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:56.680
father was suddenly alone on the radio. A voice began to be heard,
87
00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:00.639
which at first was imperceptible. My
father thought the signal had finally returned,
88
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:08.199
but this voice seemed different from that
of some speaker or singer. The voice
89
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:11.720
took that of a woman who kept
saying the same thing, until it was
90
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:16.879
heard quite clearly, your father has
not paid his debt. It was what
91
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:21.480
my father heard then, from the
top of the ceiling, that my father
92
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:28.240
realized that there was an owl watching
Alletó very strongly that the wind caused by
93
00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:32.680
his wings reached my father. The
bird moved away from there, perplexing him.
94
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:39.800
The next few days were heavy for
my father. At night, while
95
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:44.600
he slept, he saw in his
dreams a woman with scars on her face.
96
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:48.160
She didn' t seem to be
an ordinary woman. It was disturbing
97
00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:53.959
to look at her. My father
woke up agitated sweating cold. I didn
98
00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:58.000
' t know what I could do, so he chose to finally tell Grandpa.
99
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:01.680
My grandfather accompanied my father a couple
of times at night to meet Grandma
100
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:07.560
and finally pay her debt, but
she never appeared in the form of a
101
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:13.600
new owl. My grandfather missed a
chance to pay him. The family had
102
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:20.360
to get used to the series of
events that were happening to them all over
103
00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:24.360
the place. Things were whistling at
night and when everyone was asleep, it
104
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:30.199
was something that happened and they had
to get used to it. Years later,
105
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:35.399
fate called my grandfather died of so
much smoking. There was no chance
106
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:39.720
of saying goodbye to him. I
got to know him in life. He
107
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:43.720
even carried me in his arms when
I was little, but with the passage
108
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:48.039
of time everything is forgotten with the
exception of debts. My father kept a
109
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:54.440
portrait of my grandfather' s face
in his fourth year after my grandfather'
110
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:58.759
s death and when he was old, my father told me all this and
111
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:03.600
the witch' s curse. Even
though my grandfather had already died, it
112
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:07.080
was important that I knew. According
to my father, something quite disturbing happened
113
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:11.200
to me in my case. A
week ago I was alone at home.
114
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:16.440
My parents had gone to a birthday
of a friendship of old. I told
115
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:22.399
them I wanted to stay home watching
TV. In a way, I knew
116
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:26.120
they wouldn' t come back early, so I stayed up late watching TV.
117
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.320
It was already 1: 00 a
m when I got a little hungry.
118
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:35.039
I had bought some snacks at the
store a little before they closed,
119
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:39.960
so I opened them and set myself
up to consume them. Just when I
120
00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:43.919
was about to give her the first
bite, I heard a noise I swore
121
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:50.080
came from the second floor. I
left things on the table and went to
122
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:54.279
check the sound. It was very
similar to when something fell on the floor,
123
00:09:54.919 --> 00:10:00.519
so I figured it could be the
closet. I looked carefully and even
124
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:05.159
looked at the other rooms, but
found nothing out of the ordinary or out
125
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:09.240
of place, so I chose to
go back and watch TV. But just
126
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:13.720
as I arrived in the living room, to my surprise, the TV was
127
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:18.399
off. We don' t have
it scheduled to go off alone, so
128
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:22.360
I found it quite strange. I
turned it on and put back on the
129
00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:26.960
program I was watching, but almost
instantly another noise was heard, but this
130
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:35.120
time with more intensity. It was
so loud the noise that I really scared
131
00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:37.240
myself running up to look at myself, but I didn' t see anything
132
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:41.320
out of place. However, a
strange lump in one of the windows caught
133
00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:46.360
my attention. It was a round
lump that stood out from everything. I
134
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:52.360
stood by for a few seconds trying
to find him a figure and then two
135
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:58.320
bright round eyes opened wide. It
was an owl. He stared at me.
136
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:03.000
He seemed to be analyzing every move
he made. I kept asking myself
137
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:07.559
what the hell an owl was doing
in my house. I remembered that my
138
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:11.960
father saw one when he was little
and assured me that they were bad,
139
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:15.000
especially because of what had happened to
him. It started to scare me.
140
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:20.320
I had to do something to drive
him away, so I quickly looked for
141
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:22.759
something to scare him. Then I
remembered that in the bathroom was a broom,
142
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:26.960
which my mother left there by the
time she took care of it.
143
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:31.320
I went to get her and when
I came back to scare the owl,
144
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:35.360
this one was gone. The noises
were now heard on the ground floor.
145
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:39.000
I didn' t understand how the
bird was now on the other floor.
146
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:45.480
If the only place to get to
him was down the stairs, I rushed
147
00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:48.519
down the stairs with the broom in
hand. Then I realized that the new
148
00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:54.080
account TV was off and not just
that. The lights in the kitchen turned
149
00:11:54.120 --> 00:12:00.840
on and off constantly. I realized
something bad was going on, so I
150
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:07.639
ran my phone to dial my parents. I felt my heart beating so hard
151
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:11.799
that I almost felt it coming out
and when the phone or tone in front
152
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:16.679
of me was the owl, its
bright eyes seemed to hypnotize me. My
153
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:22.000
body responded on its own. The
broom got loose from my hands and I
154
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:24.600
couldn' t move my eyes.
I realized things were shaking, they were
155
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:30.559
wobbly from one side to the other. The bird turned around and went into
156
00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:37.320
a room. Suddenly it changed shape
to that of a person. I couldn
157
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:41.000
' t tell if it was a
man or a woman. I was totally
158
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:46.639
paralyzed and then the person came out
of the room and climbed the stairs.
159
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:50.360
Within a few seconds I recovered the
movement in my arms and legs. I
160
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:56.080
rushed up and could only tell how
that bird came out of the window.
161
00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:01.279
My parents soon marked me that I
had marked them, but I didn'
162
00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:05.879
t answer them. They only heard
strange noises on the other side of the
163
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:09.159
horn and didn' t answer them. That' s when I realized it
164
00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:11.759
' s been more than two hours
since it all started. I didn'
165
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:16.440
t feel the time pass so fast
or at least it wasn' t what
166
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:20.559
I felt. My heart was still
beating hard, so I asked my parents
167
00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:26.159
to come back soon. That morning
we talked a little bit about what happened.
168
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:31.320
I was already calmer, so I
could tell them things better. My
169
00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:35.240
father, hearing my story, suddenly
rose from the chair and went to his
170
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:41.320
room. My mother and I did
not know what had happened, but at
171
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:46.639
one point he returned alarmed indicating that
his father' s photograph was not in
172
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:52.399
place. My father was disturbed by
the disappearance of my grandfather' s photograph.
173
00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:56.960
We went through the house searching every
corner, but there was no trace
174
00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:01.000
of it. It was strange,
as my father had always kept that photograph
175
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:05.799
in a safe place and never moved
it from there. We decided to check
176
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:11.440
the rest of the house, but
everything seemed to be in order, except
177
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:16.200
for the tense atmosphere that felt.
It was as if something was watching us
178
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:20.399
from the shadows waiting for the right
time to act. I couldn' t
179
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:26.639
stop thinking about the owl. My
father suggested that perhaps someone had entered the
180
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:31.159
house and had taken the photograph and
that there was no connection with what happened
181
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:33.960
that night, but I knew in
the depths of my being that it was
182
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:39.320
not so and that there was a
strong relationship with the curse that had haunted
183
00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:43.919
us for generations. By my father' s decision, we decided not to
184
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:48.679
talk about it anymore at the moment
and tried to keep the day normal,
185
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:54.919
but it was difficult to ignore the
feeling of discomfort that was looming over us
186
00:14:56.000 --> 00:15:00.679
that night, while we were silently
dining a noise coming from the basement,
187
00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:03.639
we were not jumped out of our
seats. My father and I looked at
188
00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:07.480
each other with concern. As my
mother clung to her rosary with her eyes
189
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:15.399
closed in a silent prayer with caution, we headed to the basement armed with
190
00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:20.159
a flashlight and a crucifix that my
mother had taken from the wall as she
191
00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:24.639
opened the door, a chill ran
through my back as I felt a gust
192
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:28.559
of cold air coming from the darkest. We slowly descended down the stairs.
193
00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:33.399
The basement was barely lit by the
dim light of my father' s flashlight.
194
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:39.480
That' s when we saw him, a hooded figure standing in the
195
00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:43.240
middle of the room, with his
arms stretched out in a sinister gesture.
196
00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:48.919
We could not see his face,
but we could feel his gaze fixed on
197
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:54.960
us, as if he were devouring
our souls with his eyes empty. My
198
00:15:54.000 --> 00:16:00.679
father took a challenging step forward and
demanded that he identify himself, but the
199
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:06.320
figure did not respond. He just
stood there like a statue. Then,
200
00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:11.200
with a sudden movement, the figure
raised his hand and pointed towards a dark
201
00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:15.080
corner of the basement. My father
and I followed his gaze and saw something
202
00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:19.639
that iced us. The blood,
my grandfather' s broken and torn photograph
203
00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:25.919
lay on the ground next to a
puddle of water. Before we could react,
204
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:30.440
the figure disappeared into the shadows,
leaving us alone in the darkness of
205
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:37.240
the basement. We looked at each
other without words, knowing that something dark
206
00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:41.480
and evil had happened, but in
a way we realized that perhaps there was
207
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:47.320
no way the debt could be settled. Now that the witch realized Grandpa'
208
00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:52.879
s death. But I really can' t tell you that, because things
209
00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:59.320
are still happening in my house and
the owl keeps showing up almost every night.
