Sacerdotes Tienen Cautiva A Una Poseída Historias De Terror - REDE

1
00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:12.599
The monitors. Several years ago,
while checking the local job advertisements online,

2
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:17.239
an ad caught my attention, not
so much because of what I said,

3
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:22.000
but because of the little I reported. What I remember best is that the

4
00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:29.600
ad mentioned available work, good pay, no benefits. Discretion is required followed

5
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:36.039
by an email address and nothing else. At the time I was a music

6
00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:41.840
store manager. I want to clarify
one thing that will be important for everything

7
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:45.920
else to make sense. I,
before working at that music store, had

8
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:52.560
been a criminal. He had never
stepped on prison because he worked for the

9
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:58.399
organization that controlled the city prison.
On one occasion we had a confrontation with

10
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:02.399
the Navy, they killed me boss
and everyone else who went with me,

11
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:10.040
only I was alive returning to the
music store. At that time rumors were

12
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:15.319
circulating that we were going to close
next year with little hope of being transferred

13
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:19.200
to another store, although it had
been days taking a look at job offers.

14
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:25.400
This was the first one that really
caught my attention, maybe out of

15
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:30.480
boredom or because it was unusual,
so I sent an email and a half

16
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:36.120
hour later I received a response that
instructed me to go to an office building

17
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:41.159
in an exclusive area of the city
at a specific time for a selection.

18
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:48.079
I went and waited for a few
minutes and they took me to an office

19
00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:51.959
where I filled out several forms and
questionnaires. After I picked them up,

20
00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:56.959
I was informed that they would contact
me. I almost forgot about it.

21
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:01.120
When a month later they called me
to tell me that I had advanced to

22
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:06.120
the second stage of the selection process. I was given a new direction and

23
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:10.479
time this time in a different office
park located about thirty- two kilometers from

24
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:15.879
the first, a man welcomed me
and took me to a large room with

25
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:21.199
a chair, a desk, two
large monitors, a keyboard, a mouse

26
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:25.639
and a metal box with two buttons
without wasting time. The man explained to

27
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:30.599
me that the shift was twelve hours, but I couldn' t leave the

28
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:35.639
workplace. In the place we'
d always be two people. We both

29
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:38.879
had to stay in the place twenty- four hours a day, seven days

30
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:46.120
a week and every twelve hours we
would take turns resting. I could quit

31
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:50.719
at any time I wanted, but
as long as I didn' t quit,

32
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:53.000
I couldn' t leave the workplace. They explained to me that behind

33
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:58.240
the door, on the other side
of the room where I was, there

34
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:00.800
was a kitchen, living room,
bathroom with shower and a bedroom. Also,

35
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:06.360
every three days someone would leave us
food, movies and everything necessary so

36
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:10.680
that both I and the other person
who was already working there would be comfortable.

37
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:17.120
What I would have to do is
constantly monitor a live stream from a

38
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:24.199
HD camera in a remote location displayed
on the left monitor. Every hour he

39
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:31.080
had to use the computer connected to
the right monitor to briefly record any interesting

40
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:37.360
events that occurred. I would not
be allowed pencil pens or paper and should

41
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:42.639
never try to take written notes about
the work. As for the buttons,

42
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:46.039
the one on the left should only
be used in case of an emergency,

43
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:51.680
whether it is something in the video
or in my workspace requiring external assistance.

44
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:55.759
The button on the right would be
pressed if I saw something in the video

45
00:03:55.879 --> 00:04:01.680
transmission that was especially noticeable. This
would indicate to other people somewhere that,

46
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:08.919
in my opinion, something interesting was
happening. The man emphasized that although he

47
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:14.840
was free to decide when to use
this button, he should do so only

48
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:18.800
if something truly important happened. The
monitor on the right was a simple black

49
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:25.920
and white terminal. Sometimes I could
use it to write records, but I

50
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:30.120
didn' t have access to the
Internet or any other external functionality. When

51
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:33.439
I got there, the monitor was
off. The man asked me if I

52
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:39.120
would accept the job, that I
could not ask any other questions. He

53
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:43.079
told me that the pay was a
thousand pesos for every twenty- four hours

54
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:46.959
at work and that he wouldn'
t tell me anything else until he accepted

55
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:50.040
the job. It was all so
weird that I assumed that that was supposed

56
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:54.920
to be something illegal. My experience
working with the cartel told me that it

57
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:59.360
was most likely that, through that
monitor, I would have to be watching

58
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:02.360
someone deprived of their liberty, which, despite how loud it may sound,

59
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:08.439
I didn' t care. As
long as I got paid, it was

60
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:13.079
enough for me. So I told
the man to take the job. The

61
00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:16.279
man took me to the other side
of the door to show me the rest

62
00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:20.959
of the place and asked me my
size of clothes that at dusk a person

63
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:25.360
would take me clothes. He also
told me to hand him the cell phone,

64
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:29.439
which I did. The other person
who would be with me on the

65
00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:32.879
spot immediately came out of the bathroom
I noticed the guy had been in prison.

66
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:36.439
That was my confirmation that, in
fact, what was happening there was

67
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:44.000
illegal. We went back to the
main room and the man lit the monitor

68
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:47.920
on the left. There was shown
the video of a room that could be

69
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:53.839
described as a bedroom because it had
a bed, although it also had a

70
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:58.360
TV, a sofa chairs, a
couple of tables and plenty of free space.

71
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:01.959
The Chamber was with I in a
high corner, which allowed me to

72
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:08.600
see almost the whole place, except
the furthest sides of the furniture. At

73
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:13.199
first I did not pay much attention
to the details of the environment, since

74
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:16.040
all I noticed was to the woman. She looked a little older than me

75
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:20.000
and she was very pretty. The
first time I saw her I was lying

76
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:24.680
sideways on the sofa, in the
farthest part of the chamber, but the

77
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:30.879
picture was very clear and I could
notice that she was sleeping. I leaned

78
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:33.959
towards the monitor to see her better. The man asked me if everything was

79
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:39.680
all right and I calmly said yes, that any doubt would already ask the

80
00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:44.839
other person. The man said goodbye
and left, as I assumed it was

81
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:47.240
the rest of the other, for
I sat there in front of the monitor.

82
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:51.399
It was a boring job. The
truth. My first seven hours became

83
00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:57.560
eternal. I couldn' t even
move to the bathroom. When the clock

84
00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:00.720
dialed nine o' clock at night, someone knocked on the front door.

85
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:05.199
I got up and went to ask
the other person if he could open He

86
00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:10.519
said no, that he was going
there to show me how to know who

87
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:15.279
to open it to and who not. I went back to the seat and

88
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:18.160
two minutes later he was my partner. He knocked on the door inside in

89
00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:25.720
a particular way and the person outside
responded by imitating the sound. Then he

90
00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:30.480
opened it. He was a man
who was carrying food and that stuff was

91
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:33.399
also wearing clothes. For me.
He didn' t say a word to

92
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:36.439
us. He just left everything in
the living room and left in silence.

93
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:42.720
I grabbed a packet of cookies,
a coke and went back to the monitor.

94
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:46.279
At eleven o' clock, my
partner came to relieve me and told

95
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:49.319
me that I could rest now that
at eleven o' clock in the morning

96
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:51.600
I was going to cover it.
The first thing I did was go to

97
00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:56.040
the bathroom. Then I had something
to eat, bathed, put on a

98
00:07:56.120 --> 00:08:00.040
movie and then fell asleep. When
I woke up, the clock on the

99
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:03.879
wall was clocking nine in the morning, I had fast breakfast, went to

100
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:07.759
the bathroom, took a dip and
prepared a lunch break during the shift.

101
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:11.199
And so it was day after day. As the weeks went by, I

102
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:16.959
began to notice interesting things through the
monitor periodically a couple of times a week.

103
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:22.120
During my shifts, men and women
in strange suits came in and took

104
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:26.360
the woman out of the room.
Sometimes he resisted, but usually he went

105
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:31.519
with them cabizbaja. She was always
returned after three or four hours, and

106
00:08:31.679 --> 00:08:37.000
every time she returned, she started
painting on the walls. I was doing

107
00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:39.679
it for an hour or two.
He always painted weird things. I figured

108
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:45.440
whatever they were doing to him.
Every one of them had her disturbed by

109
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:50.440
the time she had been at work
for six months, and I had become

110
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:56.159
accustomed to seeing others coming in every
few weeks taking pictures of what the girl

111
00:08:56.159 --> 00:09:01.919
painted on the walls. The first
time I felt some guilt was when people

112
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:07.519
came to take her away. She
looked directly at the House and spoke obviously,

113
00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:09.200
I couldn' t hear her,
but I did read her lips.

114
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:15.120
She was asking me for help for
a second my conscience, like she wanted

115
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:18.679
to click me but I remembered that
under my bed I already had almost 200,

116
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.279
000 pesos in pure five hundred bills
and, as cruel as it may

117
00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:26.240
sound. I was there to raise
money and that was all I cared about,

118
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:31.440
so I shook my guilt and pretended
I hadn' t seen her ask

119
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:35.240
me for help. A week later, the moment I went to cover my

120
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:41.799
partner for his rest, I told
him I had some doubts. He just

121
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:46.559
stared at me without telling me anything
that I interpreted that I could tell him

122
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:50.679
my doubts. Then I asked him
if he knew what all the weird things

123
00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:56.720
that the girl painted on the walls
meant because they took pictures of what she

124
00:09:56.279 --> 00:10:01.440
painted and why they always painted the
walls white again with the intention that the

125
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:05.200
woman would paint more things. The
answer you gave me did not answer any

126
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:09.519
of my questions. However, it
was very clear with the situation. He

127
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:15.000
answered me the one before you.
He asked a lot of questions. If

128
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:18.840
you' re interested in work,
don' t ask questions and just do

129
00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:22.360
your job. I didn' t
tell him anything anymore, I just made

130
00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:24.519
a gesture that I gave him to
understand that what he said to me was

131
00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:30.600
clear. That you told me I
didn' t interpret it as a threat,

132
00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:33.720
but rather as a warning. It
made me consider something I hadn'

133
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:39.240
t thought of until then. The
reason why there had been a vacancy in

134
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:43.120
that job and taking into account what
he told me, apparently, the vacancy

135
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:48.080
occurred because the other person asked too
many questions. On the one hand,

136
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:52.840
I understand that when you get involved
in an illegal business, the less you

137
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:56.759
know, the better. That implies
not asking anything and really that if I

138
00:10:56.799 --> 00:11:00.440
had seen that woman being beaten or
whatever, it would have been anything for

139
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:03.120
me, but the interest they showed
in what the woman was painting was not

140
00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:09.120
normal and the fact that I was
asking myself that only triggered a wave of

141
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:16.159
questions and so I spent the next
three weeks asking me questions over and over

142
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:22.720
again while watching the monitors. I
could describe some of the things he painted,

143
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:26.919
but the truth. I don'
t think it' ll do any

144
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:31.600
good, because I could never even
imagine a meaning. One day, when

145
00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:37.399
I was starting my shift, those
strangely dressed people arrived for her and on

146
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:41.919
that occasion it took longer to return
her. I know that because I already

147
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:46.159
knew that every one that took her
away took three to four hours to return.

148
00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:50.000
I had measured the time because it
gave me time to go to the

149
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:56.440
bathroom and prepare an aperitif and by
the time I finished eating and returned to

150
00:11:56.679 --> 00:12:00.799
the monitors, at best, I
would spend an hour with fifteen minutes to

151
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:03.039
see her enter the room. But
on that occasion it was three and a

152
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:07.159
half hours before she was returned to
the room. The woman was more exhausted

153
00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:13.159
so much that when the people left, she did not start painting immediately,

154
00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:20.080
but fell asleep woke up four hours
later, although I don' t know

155
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:24.480
if she was really awake. I
mean, he got up and started doing

156
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:28.879
things, but his eyes were closed
like he was sleepwalking. That was the

157
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:33.480
first time I saw him happen,
so I pressed the button, which was

158
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:39.639
to warn that something weird was happening. Five seconds later my partner arrived and

159
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:43.720
asked me what was going on.
I told her the woman was sleepwalking.

160
00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:48.960
Then I asked him how he knew
that I had pressed a button, to

161
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:54.480
which he replied that he had a
cell phone and that there came the warning.

162
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:58.240
I was barely going to ask him
about the cell phone, but he

163
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:03.480
went ahead of my question and told
me that that cell phone wasn' t

164
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:07.240
his, but it was work that
only served two things. One was to

165
00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:11.759
warn when one of the buttons was
pressed, and the other was to receive

166
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:18.240
calls. In case you press the
button that something alarming was happening. The

167
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:20.360
guy pulled out his cell phone and
put it on the desk. He told

168
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:26.399
me that if anything else happened and
I pressed the other button, they would

169
00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:28.080
call me to confirm that I didn' t press it by accident. Then

170
00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:33.360
he went to bathe. I assumed
that no one had told me about that

171
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:37.799
cell phone, because I was the
new one in quotation marks, because she

172
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:39.919
was many months old, but maybe
the other one already had more than a

173
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:45.600
year there and that' s why
he was driving that cell phone. I

174
00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:50.440
kept looking at the screen and then
I saw the woman bite her arm by

175
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:54.000
ripping off a piece of meat and
with the blood coming out of her,

176
00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:58.279
she started painting the walls. I
immediately pressed the other button. It didn

177
00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:01.879
' t take two seconds. So, when the cell phone rang, I

178
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:05.120
answered the voice on the other side. It wasn' t the person who

179
00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:09.279
hired me. It was someone else. That person asked me what was going

180
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:13.919
on, I told him and then
that person told me to turn off the

181
00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:18.279
monitor and if it took less than
two hours for me to finish my shift,

182
00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:22.840
that I could go to rest,
that I left the monitor off and

183
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:28.320
that my partner turned it on when
taking his shift, I told the person

184
00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:31.639
that I was fine and ended the
call. But of course I didn'

185
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:37.080
t turn off the screen, I
knew something was going to happen, something

186
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:41.120
important, so I went first to
make sure my partner was still in the

187
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:45.360
bathroom, but I needed to know
how long it would take him to get

188
00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:48.879
out, so I told him I
needed to go to the bathroom, which

189
00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:50.320
wasn' t urgent, but if
I could hurry a little bit, I

190
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:54.200
' d appreciate it. He said
he' d be outside in ten minutes.

191
00:14:56.039 --> 00:14:58.960
That meant I had less than ten
minutes to be watching the monkey hoping

192
00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:03.639
something would happen before I had to
turn off the monitor so my partner wouldn

193
00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:09.360
' t find out by looking at
something I shouldn' t see. Five

194
00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:15.919
minutes passed and nothing happened. The
woman continued to bleed out while painting the

195
00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:20.120
walls. Then three priests entered the
room, all three with a book in

196
00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:26.279
my hand that I suppose was the
Bible. The priests opened the books and

197
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:31.080
I think they started praying. They
were reading the books As they surrounded the

198
00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:35.000
woman, she stopped painting. As
soon as they opened the books. In

199
00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:37.799
fact, it seemed like he wanted
to attack them, but he couldn'

200
00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:41.720
t. Everything was so weird.
The priests came closer and closer to her,

201
00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:46.720
as they cornered her to a corner
that remained outside the vision of the

202
00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:52.200
Chamber. As soon as the priests
and the woman came out of my sight,

203
00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:56.039
I turned off the monitor and ran
to open the refrigerator and had a

204
00:15:56.039 --> 00:15:58.679
soda. Five seconds later, my
partner came out of the bathroom. He

205
00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:03.559
saw me holding the refrigerator door with
one hand, while the other had a

206
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:07.240
coke. I, as soon as
I saw it, closed the fridge I

207
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:10.639
left the coke on the table and
went into the bathroom. Obviously, I

208
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:15.480
didn' t feel like doing anything. I only made time when I left

209
00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:18.519
my partner asked me what had happened
and where the cell phone was. I

210
00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:22.440
told him I pressed the other button
and they called me to tell me to

211
00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:26.559
turn off the monitor and that the
cell phone was there near the monitor.

212
00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:32.240
He exhaled and said something like that
it had already been almost a year since

213
00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:37.320
the last time it had been necessary
to turn off the monitor. I used

214
00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:41.120
to ask him how long he had
living there working in front of the monitor.

215
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:45.639
He replied that he was two and
a half years old and that he

216
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:51.879
would stay three more months and then
resign. That seemed too long. I

217
00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:56.960
was already a few months old,
too, but I didn' t even

218
00:16:56.080 --> 00:16:59.039
think I' d be locked up
for years without going anywhere. I had

219
00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:03.000
no family, no girlfriend or anything, but still, almost three years without

220
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:07.799
going out. From there it seemed
an overwhelming amount of time. What he

221
00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:12.160
told me was that he was nine
years in prison and that when he left

222
00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:15.359
his wife he had gone with another
one. Their brothers had killed them.

223
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:22.680
His mother had died of cancer and
his father had not been able to bear

224
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:26.599
it, so he took his own
life. He was just hoping to raise

225
00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:33.000
a million pesos to go to another
country. I thought it was a very

226
00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:37.400
cruel and very sad story. I
took advantage of the fact that we had

227
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:40.680
come a little into confidence and not
wanting to. I asked him what happened

228
00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:44.680
the last time they had to turn
off the monitor. He looked very serious

229
00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:49.240
to me and answered me. The
woman started floating. I didn' t

230
00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:52.920
say anything, I had no words, I had no idea how. I

231
00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:57.799
was supposed to react. I only
opened the soda that I had left on

232
00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:03.559
the table and gave him a drink
at eleven in the morning the next day.

233
00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:07.599
When my shift started, I saw
that the woman was now in a

234
00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:11.480
wheelchair. I was in the middle
of the room staring straight at the camera.

235
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:17.200
I couldn' t explain it,
but that woman knew I was seeing

236
00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:19.039
her, but she didn' t
ask for help anymore. I was just

237
00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:26.480
standing there looking sad scared. I
quit Three weeks later, I' d

238
00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:30.119
already put together enough money to start
a business and forget about having to work

239
00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:33.839
for someone else. I have no
idea what the hell was going on with

240
00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:48.319
that woman' s route I work
driving buses for a well- known company

241
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:52.400
in Mexico. I' m saving
my name for obvious reasons. I can

242
00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:56.920
' t say my name or that
of any partner involved, and it'

243
00:18:57.039 --> 00:19:02.440
s not that much because the company
is going to fire me or something is

244
00:19:02.440 --> 00:19:06.640
just for privacy. My job is
to drive buses that go to different parts

245
00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:11.039
of Mexico. Maybe. This clarification
remains, but working in a bus company

246
00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:17.000
does not necessarily mean being a driver. In my case, yes, but

247
00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:22.839
in the transport companies also work guards, cleaning staff, office people. That

248
00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:26.000
' s why I' m making
it clear that I' m a bus

249
00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:30.519
driver where I work. Each driver
has a specific bus. That doesn'

250
00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:33.400
t mean we always have the same
route. The routes are only fixed for

251
00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:38.559
24 hours. As those twenty-
four hours go by, they change the

252
00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:45.400
route. In my company there have
been serious accidents, some where people only

253
00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:48.559
get hurt and others where there is
only material damage and, of course,

254
00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:53.960
there have also been accidents where people
have lost their lives. Thank God.

255
00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:59.200
I' ve never had a passenger
die if I' ve been in a

256
00:19:59.279 --> 00:20:03.559
carambolla on the road, but beyond
a few injuries, I' ve always

257
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:07.440
been well off. In the years
I' ve been working at the company,

258
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:11.799
I' ve had my bus changed
five times. The last time they

259
00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:17.640
changed my bus was three years ago. The story I' m going to

260
00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:21.519
tell happened to me in the 2, 000th. The bus I was carrying

261
00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:26.880
back then broke down because of a
factory problem. They told me I wouldn

262
00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:30.160
' t work for a week.
After spending that week, I was informed

263
00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:36.400
that my bus was so damaged that
they had to return it to the factory,

264
00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:40.799
so they would assign me another bus, but I would have to wait

265
00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:45.200
another week. For me it was
fine, because they were actually like paid

266
00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:48.079
vacations. I couldn' t complain
it happened that other week and they told

267
00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:53.000
me that they hadn' t got
the bus they were waiting for, but

268
00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:57.200
that it was coming up for me
to get back on the road, so

269
00:20:57.279 --> 00:20:59.960
they gave me a bus that was
a little older than mine. The bus

270
00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:03.319
they gave me had just fixed it
and it was ready to be used.

271
00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:07.720
I got along pretty well with the
person in charge of checking the trucks every

272
00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:11.880
day before I left on the road, so if he told me the bus

273
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:18.079
was okay, it was because I
was that simple I started preparing the last

274
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:22.759
before the passengers started getting on.
Then I went to sign the route.

275
00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:26.640
I' d been coordinated on a
long trip. That night. It was

276
00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:30.920
about a thousand four hundred kilometers with
stopovers. Of course, a trip this

277
00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:36.359
long means we' re going two
drivers. This is because, taking into

278
00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:41.039
account anything that can happen on the
road, it is a journey that can

279
00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:45.119
be extended up to eighteen hours or
even longer. That' s why we

280
00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:47.720
' re going two drivers. We
split the trip into four stages. One

281
00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:51.920
handles the first and third stages and
the other handles the second and the last

282
00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:56.759
stages in that way. Neither of
us drive tired and the journey can be

283
00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:00.839
done much more optimally, but above
all safer, both for us and for

284
00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:07.319
passengers. I remember clearly that I
started the trip while my partner rested on

285
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:11.640
the first stage, as he had
literally just finished a six- hour trip.

286
00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:18.160
Everything seemed normal at first, but
as the night progressed, I began

287
00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:22.480
to feel something strange, a fear
I could not explain. Although my work

288
00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:27.599
has its risks, especially on some
roads, I had always relied on my

289
00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:33.559
skills and on my vehicle, feeling
the security necessary for my work. Of

290
00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:38.519
course I didn' t go on
my bus I thought maybe that was the

291
00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:42.119
reason to relax I put music on
and I focused on the road. I

292
00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:47.720
had traveled a few kilometers when a
lady interrupted me. He was standing in

293
00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:52.359
the hallway, complaining that it was
very hot in the passenger room. Looking

294
00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:57.119
at the digital thermometer we used to
control temperature, I was surprised to see

295
00:22:57.160 --> 00:23:02.559
that it marked much more than recommended. I assumed it was a mistake of

296
00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:06.839
mine, and I assured the lady
that I would fix it. That was

297
00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:11.920
weird, because I knew I had
correctly adjusted the thermostat before starting the trip.

298
00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:17.319
I adjusted the thermostat and the journey
went on. The passengers were asleep

299
00:23:17.359 --> 00:23:21.880
and the road was quiet. Suddenly. Looking in the mirror, I saw

300
00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:25.960
a person standing in the hallway.
At first I thought it was a reflection,

301
00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:30.440
but then I saw clearly a black
shadow. This figure seemed to stare

302
00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:33.880
at me, although we must keep
an eye on the front. Every time

303
00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:38.039
I looked at the mirror I saw
her there I thought she' d come

304
00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:41.720
up with something, but when I
checked the thermostat, the temperature was right.

305
00:23:42.359 --> 00:23:48.599
I briefly turned on the lights on
the bus in case it needed to

306
00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:51.960
get closer, but in doing so, the figure disappeared. I don'

307
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:55.839
t usually get scared easily, so
I tried to convince myself that it was

308
00:23:55.839 --> 00:23:59.880
tiredness. I do not mean that
the road was tiring me, but because

309
00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:03.799
I had just come back from a
two- week vacation in which I did

310
00:24:03.799 --> 00:24:08.559
not drive, because the body gets
unaccustomed very quickly, even though my time

311
00:24:08.640 --> 00:24:14.279
of rest had not arrived, I
decided to stop and wake my partner to

312
00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:18.400
take the wheel. The partner who
was with me knew him well enough.

313
00:24:19.079 --> 00:24:22.359
That' s why I was confident
to tell him to cover for me,

314
00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:26.519
even though it wasn' t his
turn yet. Obviously, he asked me

315
00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:30.640
why I wanted to change at once
and I told him I had a weird

316
00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:36.000
feeling and that was distracting me.
He mentioned that he had also felt something

317
00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:40.839
strange and had not been able to
sleep well, but that he would finish

318
00:24:40.880 --> 00:24:44.720
that stretch and the next and then
wake me up to continue. I'

319
00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:48.720
m the third stage. We already
made the change and although I was not

320
00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:52.839
sleepy, I tried to fall asleep
to be ready for the next shift.

321
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:56.680
As I closed my eyes, I
felt pressure on myself similar to what some

322
00:24:56.720 --> 00:25:02.599
people describe as the feeling of tea
having something or someone on top. I

323
00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:07.000
couldn' t see anything talking or
moving like I lost circulation in my body.

324
00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:12.079
You know how typical of a dead
man is. After a while,

325
00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:18.200
the feeling began to fade I could
move again and decided not to call my

326
00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:22.759
partner, thinking that maybe it had
been part of a dream. A few

327
00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:27.039
hours later I woke up startled by
a sudden brake on the bus. I

328
00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:32.359
got up to go see what had
happened. In that, my partner originated,

329
00:25:32.839 --> 00:25:37.000
as I arrived with him. I
asked him what had happened and he

330
00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:40.839
told me that an idiot had invaded
his lane. I checked the route.

331
00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:45.000
About 60 kilometers to finish the second
stage. So I told my partner to

332
00:25:45.039 --> 00:25:51.599
go to rest and I prepared to
continue the journey, even though for the

333
00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:59.279
first few kilometers I was still feeling
something uncomfortable. In less than an hour

334
00:25:59.440 --> 00:26:03.079
it was dawning and with the sunrise, the atmosphere felt different and the rest

335
00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:08.680
of the trip passed smoothly already in
the center, as it had been a

336
00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:14.000
fairly long journey, We were given
three hours to rest. Before making the

337
00:26:14.039 --> 00:26:18.880
return trip, we headed to the
bedrooms and were able to rest. We

338
00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:26.079
get up in time just to eat
something and go to the bathroom. Then

339
00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:30.279
we went to sign the paperwork on
the route so that the passengers would start

340
00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:36.039
getting on the bus. Passengers were
quietly getting on the bus. Suddenly I

341
00:26:36.200 --> 00:26:41.440
felt a pat on my back.
A colleague, another driver greeted me and

342
00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:45.920
started talking about the bus I was
about to drive. He told me that

343
00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:49.079
bus had been the one his friend
was driving until the day of his accident.

344
00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:53.759
That gave me a chill and I
felt even more scared. When I

345
00:26:53.759 --> 00:26:59.599
heard the details, he told me
that that bus had had a serious accident

346
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:06.319
where several people died, including the
driver who was his friend. The bus

347
00:27:06.359 --> 00:27:10.720
crashed into a trailer that was badly
parked and without lights on the road.

348
00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:17.640
Nine people died in that accident.
I didn' t know what to do

349
00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:22.279
or say after hearing that story.
Then that driver told me, but don

350
00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:26.559
' t worry. An uncle of
my friend was a priest. When they

351
00:27:26.599 --> 00:27:30.440
did the repairs, I convinced the
company to take him to bless the bus.

352
00:27:32.440 --> 00:27:36.200
So God is looking after him.
Don' t worry. And that

353
00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:40.720
driver left. There were only three
passengers left to board, so I went

354
00:27:40.799 --> 00:27:44.440
up and told my partner what they
had just told me. He, being

355
00:27:44.480 --> 00:27:48.359
very Catholic, told me that if
a priest had given him a blessing,

356
00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:53.640
then everything was fine, but I
kept thinking about it. As we started

357
00:27:53.720 --> 00:27:59.400
our journey, everything was going on
normally. At first. My partner was

358
00:27:59.440 --> 00:28:03.680
with me in the cabin and the
passengers were in their own way. We

359
00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:07.680
were talking about different subjects and the
bus was running smoothly. However, peace

360
00:28:08.039 --> 00:28:12.480
of mind broke when, for some
absurd reason, something happened that should not

361
00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:18.839
happen, because it is literally impossible
for it to happen. All the hearing

362
00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:23.359
aid ports stopped working and instead all
the passenger screens began to take out a

363
00:28:23.359 --> 00:28:30.359
lot of volume. That' s
impossible because the screens don' t have

364
00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:36.160
speakers. My partner went fast with
the passengers, apologized and told them it

365
00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:40.400
was best to turn off the screens. Anyway, the bus had internet ace

366
00:28:40.480 --> 00:28:45.720
and they could use their cell phones. Since my partner took care of the

367
00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:48.400
situation, he returned to the cabin
and reported what happened on the radio.

368
00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:56.000
Traffic control thought we were kidding.
They couldn' t believe what we had

369
00:28:56.279 --> 00:29:02.720
told them After a while, my
partner went to rest and I kept driving,

370
00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:07.240
but strange things started to happen on
the bus. The lights in the

371
00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:11.759
hallway blinked and the thermostat varied the
temperature without explanation. They weren' t

372
00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:17.279
very sudden changes. It was never
hot on the bus, but I saw

373
00:29:17.359 --> 00:29:22.519
how the thermostat digits moved on their
own. I thought it might be an

374
00:29:22.559 --> 00:29:26.839
electrical problem, but knowing the history
of the bus, everything felt much more

375
00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:33.279
chilling. At one point when it
was not long before my partner had to

376
00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:37.480
cover me I saw a figure standing
in the corridor of the bus. He

377
00:29:37.519 --> 00:29:40.759
wasn' t moving. I was
just there in the middle of the hallway.

378
00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:47.119
Watching me was awesome. It did
not seem to fade, but remained

379
00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:52.640
firm. I kept driving until my
turn came to rest. We changed and

380
00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:56.480
I went to lie down. I
couldn' t sleep, so I pulled

381
00:29:56.640 --> 00:30:00.200
out my cell phone and started looking
for information about the bus crash. I

382
00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:04.680
found details and images of the event. The bus wasn' t that bad

383
00:30:04.759 --> 00:30:08.559
because, as I said there,
the driver had managed to turn the steering

384
00:30:08.680 --> 00:30:12.400
wheel a little bit an instant before
the impact. Therefore, the only ones

385
00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:19.799
who received the direct hit were the
driver and the passengers going forward. When

386
00:30:19.839 --> 00:30:25.319
the bus hit, you could say
that half bounced and turned to the side.

387
00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:29.440
Contrary, he did not turn,
but turned half over the road and

388
00:30:29.920 --> 00:30:33.680
stood aside, obstructing all the lanes. Passengers who were not on the front

389
00:30:33.720 --> 00:30:40.519
side and who were wearing their seatbelts. They were only moved with force.

390
00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:45.480
In the images you could see blood
stains on the curtains of the first seats.

391
00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:49.039
I turned off my cell phone and
I better try to sleep. I

392
00:30:49.079 --> 00:30:53.400
woke up just as it was a
few minutes before it was my turn.

393
00:30:53.799 --> 00:31:00.240
The rest of the trip to the
station went unanticipated. Upon arrival, the

394
00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:06.200
passengers descended and removed their bags.
We were just about to deliver the bus

395
00:31:06.319 --> 00:31:10.200
to the workshop. When my partner
called me urgently, there was a gentleman

396
00:31:10.240 --> 00:31:12.640
in the seat thirty- four who
didn' t wake up. He looked

397
00:31:12.799 --> 00:31:18.440
motionless and pale. I went down
quickly to ask the National Guard for help,

398
00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:22.759
because at that time it was they
who were in charge of the security

399
00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:26.880
of the plant. They tried to
revive him without success. The situation escalated

400
00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:32.799
rapidly with the arrival of the police
and an ambulance. After examining him,

401
00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:37.160
they confirmed that the man had passed
away hours ago. The police took over

402
00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:41.799
the bus to investigate the death of
the passenger. My partner and I were

403
00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:49.359
shocked. The bus was held for
about fifteen days. I rested three or

404
00:31:49.400 --> 00:31:55.160
four days until my unit was ready
and I was able to continue working on

405
00:31:55.200 --> 00:31:59.599
my bus. As for the bus
that was held, I really missed all

406
00:31:59.559 --> 00:32:02.440
follow- up on the case.
I really don' t know what to

407
00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:06.440
think about all that. On the
one hand, there is the fact that

408
00:32:06.480 --> 00:32:10.160
that bus had already been in an
accident where there were deaths, as well

409
00:32:10.279 --> 00:32:15.839
as that a priest had gone to
give him a blessing before they put him

410
00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:20.720
back in circulation. Then there are
all the weird things that were going on,

411
00:32:20.960 --> 00:32:24.279
like the thermostat, the lights,
the impossible thing that happened with the

412
00:32:24.279 --> 00:32:29.519
sound of the screens. It should
be added that both my partner and I

413
00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:34.079
were feeling strange things during the one- way trip, also a little during

414
00:32:34.119 --> 00:32:37.759
the return trip and the shadow that
I was seeing. I have no idea

415
00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:40.799
if that' s all related to
man' s death. Maybe yes,

416
00:32:42.039 --> 00:32:53.160
maybe not. Who knows, but
it was definitely a very strange store experience.

417
00:32:57.319 --> 00:33:02.440
For a few years I worked as
an assistant in the Department of Loss

418
00:33:02.519 --> 00:33:06.119
Prevention I don' t know how
you handle it in other self- service

419
00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:10.000
companies. The Department of Loss Prevention
is responsible for overseeing all employees in all

420
00:33:10.119 --> 00:33:16.920
departments, including managers and managers.
Suppliers and customers must also be monitored.

421
00:33:20.400 --> 00:33:23.920
One thing I want to comment on
is that for three years I was at

422
00:33:24.039 --> 00:33:29.079
the branch office back in Mexico,
the few times I was at night,

423
00:33:29.319 --> 00:33:32.200
I had to see some things.
We' re going to say weird things

424
00:33:32.319 --> 00:33:37.559
like fruits flying out of the shelves, alarms ringing when no one was around,

425
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:43.799
box line drawers opening up even though
they had lockers that were shaking like

426
00:33:43.880 --> 00:33:51.119
a cat was locked in shadows that
passed over the shelves. So and although

427
00:33:51.160 --> 00:33:54.960
for some absurd reason, I thought
those were things that only happened in Mexico.

428
00:33:55.920 --> 00:34:00.200
Turns out not. When I started
off on the non- shift shift

429
00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:06.559
at the branch office across the U
S, I also saw things and the

430
00:34:06.559 --> 00:34:08.039
truth much more disturbing things. The
first time I noticed anything weird was with

431
00:34:08.119 --> 00:34:14.400
the employees' bathrooms located in the
back corners of the store. These bathrooms

432
00:34:14.519 --> 00:34:19.840
have lights with motion sensors. One
day I saw one' s light turn

433
00:34:19.880 --> 00:34:24.039
on, although there were only two
other people relatively close to that area,

434
00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:28.320
but they weren' t as such
there in the bathrooms. I walked over,

435
00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:31.679
knocked on the door, but when
I didn' t get an answer,

436
00:34:32.079 --> 00:34:35.000
I opened it and found the bathroom
empty I didn' t give it

437
00:34:35.000 --> 00:34:39.519
much importance. Then another minor incident
occurred in our work. The most expensive

438
00:34:39.559 --> 00:34:45.599
items carry a safety device called a
turtle, which sounds. If someone tries

439
00:34:45.719 --> 00:34:50.119
to get the item out without paying. One night I heard the alarm of

440
00:34:50.239 --> 00:34:54.840
a turtle, looked where it came
from and discovered that it was a drill

441
00:34:54.920 --> 00:35:00.639
that was hidden beneath others and an
exhibition while trying to get there for him.

442
00:35:00.800 --> 00:35:06.119
Another nearby device also started to ring. At that time I realized that

443
00:35:06.199 --> 00:35:10.039
it didn' t make sense that
the turtles were ringing, because what triggers

444
00:35:10.119 --> 00:35:15.679
that alarm sound is that the products
pass through the censor pallets, which are

445
00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:20.960
crossing the box line and at both
the access and exit doors. So turtles

446
00:35:21.000 --> 00:35:28.039
shouldn' t be making noise for
two weeks. Nothing else happened and I

447
00:35:28.119 --> 00:35:32.440
stopped thinking. In those incidents,
I considered the sensors to be faulty.

448
00:35:34.360 --> 00:35:38.039
On another occasion it was around two
o' clock in the morning and I

449
00:35:38.119 --> 00:35:43.320
was heading towards the electric area.
That' s when I saw something surprising.

450
00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:49.440
Honestly, I stood there for a
minute or two trying to understand what

451
00:35:49.599 --> 00:35:54.440
I was seeing. Down the hall. There was a kind of shadow that

452
00:35:54.519 --> 00:36:00.079
had a little arm shape. It
wasn' t solid. You could tell

453
00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:04.039
it was a shadow, but it
was still the shadow of an arm,

454
00:36:04.920 --> 00:36:09.599
which made no sense. That shadow
came from under the shelves. He was

455
00:36:09.679 --> 00:36:14.880
moving like someone was looking for something. I preferred to turn around and go

456
00:36:14.920 --> 00:36:17.639
do something else already in the morning, about 6: 30 the department chief

457
00:36:17.719 --> 00:36:24.000
arrived and I told him what I
had seen. His response was surprisingly calm.

458
00:36:24.400 --> 00:36:30.039
He told me not to worry and
to stay away because that shadow might

459
00:36:30.119 --> 00:36:34.840
try to grab me. I was
very surprised by the carefree manner in which

460
00:36:34.880 --> 00:36:38.320
you told me. I tried to
get some more information out of him and

461
00:36:38.360 --> 00:36:44.280
although it became clear to me that
I didn' t want to talk about

462
00:36:44.280 --> 00:36:47.559
it, if I managed to get
some data out of him, like that

463
00:36:47.639 --> 00:36:52.199
shadow wasn' t detected by the
cameras, and he also told me that

464
00:36:52.320 --> 00:36:57.480
one time, one of the workers
assured that that shadow had pulled his foot

465
00:36:57.559 --> 00:36:58.880
and knocked him against the ground,
causing a fracture in his arm. After

466
00:36:58.920 --> 00:37:01.679
that, he didn' t talk
about it anymore and asked me to stop

467
00:37:01.760 --> 00:37:06.920
asking. I could tell that talking
about that made him uncomfortable. Obviously,

468
00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:10.599
I needed to find out more about
those shadows and that I started to ask

469
00:37:10.679 --> 00:37:15.239
the other workers, those who went
out when I started shift, those who

470
00:37:15.320 --> 00:37:19.519
were on the night shift and those
who arrived in the morning for shop opening.

471
00:37:22.199 --> 00:37:25.480
Of all those I asked, there
were about twenty- five people who

472
00:37:25.519 --> 00:37:30.159
told me that they had seen that
arm- like shadow. One of the

473
00:37:30.239 --> 00:37:35.639
Department of Integrity told me that he
was almost about to get hold of that

474
00:37:35.639 --> 00:37:39.800
shadow, but that he could dodge
it by leaving that shadow a little aside.

475
00:37:40.119 --> 00:37:45.440
As you all know, stores are
divided by areas and departments. That

476
00:37:45.480 --> 00:37:50.639
shadow thing happened in the department of
Do it yourself, well, in the

477
00:37:50.679 --> 00:37:54.119
same department, but in the area
of home and garden you live something.

478
00:37:54.639 --> 00:37:58.480
The first thing I thought was that
that was a leprechaun or a chaneque.

479
00:37:58.920 --> 00:38:02.440
But talking to the other workers,
what they say is that it' s

480
00:38:02.480 --> 00:38:07.599
a homo, specifically a garden homo, and that he likes to live there,

481
00:38:07.840 --> 00:38:10.599
because all year round there are garden
things. No one' s ever

482
00:38:10.599 --> 00:38:15.000
seen it, but we' ve
heard it. It' s always moving.

483
00:38:15.400 --> 00:38:21.079
We heard him run over the shelves. That thing likes to mess up

484
00:38:21.079 --> 00:38:25.039
the shelves and throw away objects.
This caused extra work for the department,

485
00:38:25.280 --> 00:38:31.599
which seemed especially annoying to them.
During the nights. On one occasion,

486
00:38:31.679 --> 00:38:35.880
while I was taking my lunch hour, which is at one in the morning,

487
00:38:36.320 --> 00:38:40.280
when through the cameras I saw that
something had been knocked down, inflatable

488
00:38:40.320 --> 00:38:44.800
decorations that are exposed near the entrance, which, by the way, is

489
00:38:44.840 --> 00:38:47.800
not so far from gardening. But
that' s not all. He'

490
00:38:47.840 --> 00:38:52.639
s always laughing. It is not
a loud or evil laugh, but rather

491
00:38:52.840 --> 00:38:57.079
a laugh or a suffocated laugh,
as if it were funny to know that

492
00:38:57.119 --> 00:39:01.239
we cannot see it as if it
seemed amused to him, as if he

493
00:39:01.320 --> 00:39:06.639
were playing with us. This laugh
begins as soon as you enter the garden

494
00:39:06.920 --> 00:39:10.039
center and does not stop until you
leave and always sounds behind you or next

495
00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:15.480
to you. Sometimes so close you
can feel her breath, but when you

496
00:39:15.559 --> 00:39:20.000
turn around there' s nothing.
Sometimes his laughter seems to come from the

497
00:39:20.079 --> 00:39:23.360
other side of the center and that' s when you have to be more

498
00:39:23.960 --> 00:39:28.920
attentive, because that means he'
s going to throw things like stones or

499
00:39:28.920 --> 00:39:32.679
pieces of rubber at you. Anything
I can grab, fortunately, doesn'

500
00:39:32.800 --> 00:39:37.400
t have a good aim. But
if he hits you, then his laughter

501
00:39:37.480 --> 00:39:43.639
intensifies. Telling him that wall doesn' t help, it just incites him

502
00:39:43.639 --> 00:39:49.519
more. The best thing we can
do is just ignore it that garden nome

503
00:39:49.599 --> 00:39:53.599
assuming that it' s trying to
be quiet when there are more than two

504
00:39:53.599 --> 00:39:57.880
people in the area. Yet they
have been able to hear it when it

505
00:39:57.960 --> 00:40:00.199
runs or climbs through the shelves.
The presence of that thing in the garden

506
00:40:00.280 --> 00:40:07.519
center, even though it is harmless, remains disturbing. On one occasion that

507
00:40:07.639 --> 00:40:12.039
we were going to have a visit
from the regional manager, there were more

508
00:40:12.079 --> 00:40:15.199
people than usual on the night shift
that week. It wasn' t my

509
00:40:15.199 --> 00:40:19.159
turn, but the head of the
department told me it was best if we

510
00:40:19.199 --> 00:40:22.159
were two at night, precisely because
there were going to be more people than

511
00:40:22.159 --> 00:40:27.760
usual. When lunchtime arrived at 1
a m, instead of going to the

512
00:40:27.800 --> 00:40:31.679
employee dining room, we all went
to the Hotdeli area because the manager had

513
00:40:31.760 --> 00:40:37.239
scheduled for the shift two people from
that department to prepare a dinner for everyone

514
00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:44.760
who would be there that night.
The Hoddelli area is practically at the main

515
00:40:44.800 --> 00:40:49.079
entrance. In fact, the windows
that are in front of the tables where

516
00:40:49.119 --> 00:40:52.800
you sit to eat have a direct
view of the parking lot. We were

517
00:40:52.840 --> 00:40:59.360
all there, some already having dinner, others going for refreshments and some formed

518
00:40:59.400 --> 00:41:01.199
to receive the dish of or dinner. When someone, for some reason,

519
00:41:01.360 --> 00:41:07.599
looked out, he realized that everyone
was clouding as lightning leaped into the clouds

520
00:41:07.639 --> 00:41:13.280
as if a strong storm were to
come out, which is often taken very

521
00:41:13.320 --> 00:41:19.119
seriously here in the United States.
That was pretty weird,' cause we

522
00:41:19.159 --> 00:41:21.800
were in the middle of summer and
there' s no storm in summer.

523
00:41:22.280 --> 00:41:25.320
Or sometimes yes, but no one
knew that any storms had been announced.

524
00:41:25.400 --> 00:41:30.880
In those days. There was a
time when the clouds were no longer grey,

525
00:41:30.199 --> 00:41:35.280
but completely black, which really worried
us a lot, but in the

526
00:41:35.320 --> 00:41:39.199
end the sky cleared and nothing happened. The strangest thing of all was that

527
00:41:39.280 --> 00:41:44.760
such a strange situation had only been
seen in the vicinity of the store as

528
00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:50.559
if those clouds with the gray lightnings
had appeared on the tent and then disappeared.

529
00:41:52.079 --> 00:41:57.280
I don' t want to sound
too exaggerated, but clouds so dense

530
00:41:57.400 --> 00:42:00.519
don' t show up out of
nowhere. These things move around and absorb

531
00:42:00.559 --> 00:42:05.800
other clouds until they become very thick. But in the rest of the city

532
00:42:05.880 --> 00:42:10.559
the sky had been perfectly clear all
night, so it was something that was

533
00:42:10.679 --> 00:42:17.159
left unexplained. That happened, and
when I got back on the night shift

534
00:42:17.199 --> 00:42:22.440
one night while doing the tour that
should be done every two hours, as

535
00:42:22.480 --> 00:42:25.800
I was passing through the box line, I saw something put them in position.

536
00:42:27.159 --> 00:42:30.599
At every box line point there are
glass doors that are on the outside.

537
00:42:30.559 --> 00:42:36.199
These doors obviously close with a metal
curtain on the outside and you can

538
00:42:36.239 --> 00:42:40.559
see the parking through the doors.
So, being near one of those doors

539
00:42:40.599 --> 00:42:46.280
and looking out, I noticed a
figure in the parking lot. He was

540
00:42:46.320 --> 00:42:52.719
a tall, heavy man, dressed
in a dark, long coat. I

541
00:42:52.760 --> 00:42:57.599
contacted the guard in the parking lot
to tell him about that person I was

542
00:42:57.639 --> 00:43:02.519
seeing through Crystal' s doors.
The guard told me there was no one

543
00:43:02.559 --> 00:43:08.239
standing outside. I told him I
was just seeing him, but he insisted

544
00:43:08.280 --> 00:43:13.119
there was nothing. I didn'
t mean to argue, so I gave

545
00:43:13.119 --> 00:43:15.480
him the order to get close to
the vehicle. The guard approached and,

546
00:43:15.880 --> 00:43:20.639
as soon as he pointed the long
lights to the place where I was seeing

547
00:43:20.639 --> 00:43:25.320
the man, the figure disappeared as
if it had never been there. Four

548
00:43:25.440 --> 00:43:29.960
days later I saw the same silhouette
again, but it was no longer in

549
00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:34.840
the parking lot, but it was
in the back of the store. I

550
00:43:34.880 --> 00:43:37.000
was on the monitors and that'
s where I saw the silhouette. I

551
00:43:37.079 --> 00:43:40.639
wasn' t doing anything, I
was just standing there in the backyard.

552
00:43:42.039 --> 00:43:45.239
I was watching him for, like, five minutes and then he vanished.

553
00:43:45.960 --> 00:43:52.719
After that, several months passed without
any major incident to mention, until Black

554
00:43:52.760 --> 00:43:57.440
Friday arrived. By that time I
no longer had the night shift fixed.

555
00:43:58.239 --> 00:44:00.960
We were already rotating it between the
six of us. The only one who

556
00:44:01.000 --> 00:44:06.840
didn' t take the night shift
was the boss and, because of rotation

557
00:44:06.880 --> 00:44:09.719
of shifts between us, I got
the night shift during Black Friday week.

558
00:44:12.760 --> 00:44:15.840
The night shift starts at 11 p
m and ends at 7 a m.

559
00:44:17.119 --> 00:44:22.400
But I had to cross the bridge, for I was measuring my time by

560
00:44:22.440 --> 00:44:27.000
contemplating that there might be a lot
of line. Then he used to arrive

561
00:44:27.079 --> 00:44:30.360
at the branch office between 10:
00 p m and 10: 30 p

562
00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:35.519
m. The closing of the store
used to be done around midnight, depending

563
00:44:35.599 --> 00:44:39.639
on the number of customers. This
thing I' m going to tell happened

564
00:44:39.639 --> 00:44:45.440
before the closing. At the back
of the store we have a loading platform

565
00:44:45.480 --> 00:44:50.559
where items are stored that have not
yet been placed on the shelves or are

566
00:44:50.719 --> 00:44:55.400
waiting to be collected by customers.
Because a storm was approaching, the wind

567
00:44:57.000 --> 00:45:01.119
was strong that night and made the
rolling doors of the platform hit It wasn

568
00:45:02.079 --> 00:45:07.000
' t too loud noise, so
I didn' t pay much attention to

569
00:45:07.000 --> 00:45:10.920
it. However, I was close
to the last of the three doors when

570
00:45:12.039 --> 00:45:15.679
a particularly strong blow made me jump. I stood still for a moment.

571
00:45:16.760 --> 00:45:22.599
Then another blow rang from the middle
door. I didn' t think it

572
00:45:22.599 --> 00:45:25.440
was the wind, as dents were
formed in the doors because of the blows.

573
00:45:27.000 --> 00:45:30.320
The noise was so loud, I
had to cover my ears and it

574
00:45:30.360 --> 00:45:35.639
stopped like that. Already in the
morning, before passing the shift to the

575
00:45:35.719 --> 00:45:39.679
boss, I went to check the
door from the outside and had a few

576
00:45:39.719 --> 00:45:44.079
scratches that looked like a bear.
Of course there were no bears of any

577
00:45:44.119 --> 00:45:49.400
kind in that town. Seven weeks
later, I got my night shift back.

578
00:45:50.559 --> 00:45:52.320
I don' t remember whether this
was a Wednesday or a Thursday.

579
00:45:52.800 --> 00:45:57.920
What I do remember is the time
it was five in the morning. At

580
00:45:57.960 --> 00:46:04.440
that time I was checking the amount
of cardboard and play. I heard a

581
00:46:04.559 --> 00:46:07.519
soft sound. At first I didn' t identify him because he was too

582
00:46:07.519 --> 00:46:13.719
short. Then I heard a voice, that of a nervous girl I said

583
00:46:14.199 --> 00:46:17.079
hello and then, from the back
of the compactor I was answered by a

584
00:46:17.079 --> 00:46:22.400
wave. Then a black bird flew
out of the back. I don'

585
00:46:22.480 --> 00:46:25.679
t know if other birds can imitate
sounds like quails. I' d bet

586
00:46:25.760 --> 00:46:30.559
that only quails are birds that can
imitate people' s voices. That'

587
00:46:30.639 --> 00:46:36.280
s why I thought it was so
creepy that that bird was talking to me

588
00:46:36.280 --> 00:46:38.000
in a human voice. And if
you think about it, even if that

589
00:46:38.079 --> 00:46:42.400
would have been a normal bird.
It doesn' t make sense that the

590
00:46:42.480 --> 00:46:44.800
sound that was uttering was a girl' s voice. Of course, I

591
00:46:44.920 --> 00:46:47.679
don' t see it as normal
in any case. That same week,

592
00:46:47.880 --> 00:46:52.840
on one occasion in the plumbing area, I was making a partial inventory of

593
00:46:52.880 --> 00:46:57.679
one of those products. The point
is, I was there when a box

594
00:46:57.719 --> 00:47:01.119
fell behind me. As I looked
up like that, I saw the black

595
00:47:01.159 --> 00:47:04.760
bird who spoke to me as a
child. Not that it was a bird

596
00:47:04.800 --> 00:47:09.880
that looked like it was the same
bird was identical. That one was staring

597
00:47:09.960 --> 00:47:15.559
at me. The truth intimidated me
with his deep eyes, so maybe it

598
00:47:15.559 --> 00:47:20.719
was a silly idea, but it
occurred to me. Talking to the bird

599
00:47:20.840 --> 00:47:25.000
sounds ridiculous, but I yelled at
him asking him what he wanted and why

600
00:47:25.039 --> 00:47:30.440
it bothered me, I stayed completely
icy When the bird told me, I

601
00:47:30.519 --> 00:47:35.840
look at you, it' s
not that I made a sound, that

602
00:47:35.960 --> 00:47:37.199
it resembled so that I understood that
thing he spoke to me. I heard

603
00:47:37.239 --> 00:47:52.159
clearly that he said I look at
you dead son, my eighteen- year

604
00:47:52.599 --> 00:47:54.239
- old son, took his own
life. He was alone in his room

605
00:47:54.400 --> 00:47:58.519
when he did. I' m
not going to give any details about it.

606
00:47:59.320 --> 00:48:04.400
My wife found him. He suffered
a brutal emotional impact. Your Mind

607
00:48:04.480 --> 00:48:09.599
chose not to face reality your mind
literally went that way the doctors told me.

608
00:48:10.800 --> 00:48:15.880
I didn' t even take her
to the funeral because she didn'

609
00:48:15.000 --> 00:48:19.000
t remember that our son had died. His memory until before that day was

610
00:48:19.079 --> 00:48:23.360
perfect. It wasn' t like
she got crazy or paranoid. I just

611
00:48:23.400 --> 00:48:27.960
didn' t generate new memories for
her anymore. Every day was a day

612
00:48:28.039 --> 00:48:31.679
before our son' s death.
There came a point where I couldn'

613
00:48:31.760 --> 00:48:35.880
t have her at home anymore,
because I couldn' t even mourn,

614
00:48:36.679 --> 00:48:39.360
because she wasn' t aware of
our son' s death, so I

615
00:48:39.440 --> 00:48:44.679
had to put her in a psychiatric
hospital. I was going to see her

616
00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:47.599
every day from Monday to Sunday.
She didn' t suffer from leaving her

617
00:48:47.679 --> 00:48:52.719
there because every morning, when she
woke up, she thought it was her

618
00:48:52.800 --> 00:48:57.400
first day in that place, and
both I and the doctors told her that

619
00:48:57.519 --> 00:48:59.320
she would only be there for two
days. So, even though three years

620
00:48:59.360 --> 00:49:06.000
had passed, it was always two
days before she left. Those first three

621
00:49:06.039 --> 00:49:12.599
years were perfectly well maintained. I
wasn' t even medicated, but one

622
00:49:12.639 --> 00:49:16.119
afternoon, right on our son'
s lucky anniversary, I was told that

623
00:49:16.159 --> 00:49:20.280
he had suffered an attack that left
her catatonic. When I got to the

624
00:49:20.440 --> 00:49:22.880
psych ward, I asked what caused
the attack. The doctor told me that

625
00:49:22.920 --> 00:49:27.960
the nurses told her that my wife
apparently remembered the moment she found our son

626
00:49:27.960 --> 00:49:31.639
without life, but remembering to see
him that way was not what affected her,

627
00:49:31.800 --> 00:49:36.880
because she started screaming that something had
been with our son in her room.

628
00:49:38.239 --> 00:49:44.840
When that happened, she remembered seeing
something next to our son' s

629
00:49:44.960 --> 00:49:49.199
body and that' s what made
her have an attack. After returning from

630
00:49:49.280 --> 00:49:52.440
visiting my wife, I found myself
alone in the house. He felt terrible.

631
00:49:53.079 --> 00:49:58.920
My steps seemed to resonate too loudly
in my ears. I had decided

632
00:49:58.960 --> 00:50:01.119
to enter my son' s room
for the first time since what happened.

633
00:50:01.400 --> 00:50:06.679
I couldn' t help but think
about what the nurses said my wife started

634
00:50:06.800 --> 00:50:12.159
screaming. I was just going up
the stairs. When someone knocked on the

635
00:50:12.440 --> 00:50:15.360
door I went to open. She
was a friend, an old friend who

636
00:50:15.400 --> 00:50:21.719
years ago had also lost a daughter. She had become a Buddhist, because

637
00:50:21.840 --> 00:50:27.000
after her daughter passed away, she
ended up suffering from deep depression and anxiety,

638
00:50:27.599 --> 00:50:31.199
which is normal. This friend had
come to try and help me with

639
00:50:31.199 --> 00:50:36.639
something. I hadn' t had
a chance to attend the funeral and he

640
00:50:36.639 --> 00:50:39.360
wanted to say a few words to
me. We were talking about very personal

641
00:50:39.360 --> 00:50:43.960
things. When I told him I
didn' t understand why God allowed someone

642
00:50:44.039 --> 00:50:47.559
so young that he never hurt anyone, he allowed the idea of taking his

643
00:50:47.559 --> 00:50:53.519
own life into his head. Then
my friend told me that once the Buddha

644
00:50:53.639 --> 00:50:59.039
met a woman afflicted by the death
of her desperate son and asked the Buddha

645
00:50:59.000 --> 00:51:04.920
to resurrect him. The Buddha proposed
that she bring him a grain of rice

646
00:51:04.920 --> 00:51:08.599
from a house where they did not
have a deceased. He would resurrect his

647
00:51:08.679 --> 00:51:13.960
son. The woman sought unsuccessfully in
all the houses, because everyone had suffered

648
00:51:14.000 --> 00:51:19.920
some loss and so the woman understood
that death affected everyone. No matter what.

649
00:51:21.079 --> 00:51:23.519
I thanked him for the intention and
we said goodbye. I went to

650
00:51:23.559 --> 00:51:28.360
the kitchen, had a juice and
then went back to what was before,

651
00:51:28.840 --> 00:51:32.079
so I went upstairs and went to
my son' s room. I took

652
00:51:32.119 --> 00:51:37.239
a deep breath and pushed the door. Tears sprouted in my eyes. I

653
00:51:37.320 --> 00:51:42.639
inhaled for a long moment blinking quickly
to try to clear them. I saw

654
00:51:42.639 --> 00:51:46.639
his notebooks on a shelf on the
corner, I went over them until I

655
00:51:46.639 --> 00:51:51.159
found one I' d never seen
before. I was down to several,

656
00:51:51.440 --> 00:51:54.639
so I grabbed it. As I
moved on to the first page, I

657
00:51:54.760 --> 00:52:00.800
saw a picture of my son sleeping
while something hideous, with melted skin and

658
00:52:00.880 --> 00:52:06.480
bright eyes lay next to him.
This abomination. I looked directly at my

659
00:52:06.599 --> 00:52:09.960
son with eyes without eyelids and smiled. At the top of the page was

660
00:52:10.119 --> 00:52:15.119
written in large, sharp letters the
angel of death. Sleep next to me,

661
00:52:16.639 --> 00:52:20.239
I left my son' s room
and went to the living room.

662
00:52:20.920 --> 00:52:23.920
I was sitting on the couch looking
at the empty ashtray on the table.

663
00:52:24.960 --> 00:52:29.800
I sighed as my son' s
diary lay at the table in front of

664
00:52:30.719 --> 00:52:35.039
me, gathering courage, I opened
it and continued reading. She comes in

665
00:52:35.079 --> 00:52:39.159
different ways. He had written and
that was almost the last thing he'

666
00:52:39.239 --> 00:52:45.000
d written all over the paper.
All the other pages had drawings. There

667
00:52:45.039 --> 00:52:49.760
was a picture of a van.
His headlights looked like eyes covered in cataracts.

668
00:52:49.920 --> 00:52:57.440
Looking inside, teeth hung from the
ceiling dripping with saliva. More sharp

669
00:52:57.480 --> 00:53:01.039
fangs like razors protruded from the ground. I moved on to the next page.

670
00:53:01.400 --> 00:53:07.480
There was an abomination floating on the
ground. He had the giants,

671
00:53:07.599 --> 00:53:12.199
spreading on both sides of his body
like that of a bat, thorny and

672
00:53:12.239 --> 00:53:17.920
sharp framed with narrow and curved bones. He wore a shiny black robe and

673
00:53:17.920 --> 00:53:22.840
dozens of eels or snakes grew from
his skull. Each of them had white,

674
00:53:23.280 --> 00:53:30.760
dead eyes and sharp fangs. dripping, I continued to pass through the

675
00:53:30.840 --> 00:53:37.239
pages, finding increasingly disturbing images.
I finally got to the last page I

676
00:53:37.239 --> 00:53:40.840
saw what might have been a self- portrait of my son, but everything

677
00:53:40.840 --> 00:53:45.239
seemed wrong. His teeth were painted
black, his eyes shining like polished silver.

678
00:53:46.360 --> 00:53:50.760
I couldn' t sleep that night. I spent the hours walking around,

679
00:53:51.039 --> 00:53:55.079
watching TV and chewing nicotine gum I
wanted to smoke a cigarette a lot.

680
00:53:58.159 --> 00:54:00.800
At 2 a m I heard a
loud noise at the front door.

681
00:54:01.440 --> 00:54:07.360
I startled by making my glass of
water break on the floor. It sounded

682
00:54:07.360 --> 00:54:10.800
like someone was banging on the door
with a big hammer. The wood folded

683
00:54:10.880 --> 00:54:16.800
inwards as if it were cardboard.
Another blow was heard creating deep cracks in

684
00:54:16.840 --> 00:54:22.480
the door. I got off the
couch and ran upstairs. A minute later,

685
00:54:23.039 --> 00:54:28.920
the third blow rang as the door
shattered. I' m out of

686
00:54:28.920 --> 00:54:32.760
breath. My son' s voice
was heard sounding sick and damaged. His

687
00:54:32.880 --> 00:54:38.119
voice sounded distorted and chilling, but
I still realized it was my son'

688
00:54:38.239 --> 00:54:43.880
s. I didn' t answer
I hid in the bedroom with the door

689
00:54:43.880 --> 00:54:46.760
locked. Lock it. I heard
heavy and slow steps on the first floor,

690
00:54:47.559 --> 00:54:54.000
looking for anything that was imitating my
son started climbing the stairs. He

691
00:54:54.320 --> 00:54:58.639
finally got to the other side of
the door. My son spoke again sounding

692
00:54:58.880 --> 00:55:02.760
even sicker. Something hit the door
like they threw an anvil at her.

693
00:55:05.360 --> 00:55:09.519
I knew another good blow would completely
break it. Suddenly, the door broke

694
00:55:09.599 --> 00:55:15.039
inward, splinters of wood falling on
me. In the dark I saw my

695
00:55:15.159 --> 00:55:22.079
son, but his eyes were white, covered in cataracts and he smiled showing

696
00:55:22.199 --> 00:55:25.840
black teeth. He came in slowly. Suddenly he ran towards me with his

697
00:55:25.920 --> 00:55:31.400
mouth too open, as if the
tendons of his jaw were cut off the

698
00:55:31.440 --> 00:55:36.280
smell of rotten meat. It became
overwhelming, he hit me at full speed

699
00:55:36.400 --> 00:55:42.800
and I fell on my back.
He threw himself at me trying to bite

700
00:55:42.840 --> 00:55:45.360
me I tried to resist his strength, but it was too much. When

701
00:55:45.440 --> 00:55:49.280
I was about to bite my face, I don' t know what happened,

702
00:55:49.519 --> 00:55:52.360
that everything moved and I was standing
on the stairs. I didn'

703
00:55:52.360 --> 00:55:57.559
t understand what happened. Then someone
knocked on the door. I still couldn

704
00:55:57.679 --> 00:56:00.840
' t react. But as they
kept knocking on the door, I went

705
00:56:00.880 --> 00:56:04.880
down the stairs and opened. It
was my friend who had become a Buddhist

706
00:56:04.960 --> 00:56:08.039
after losing her daughter. I kept
seeing him weird, especially because when I

707
00:56:08.079 --> 00:56:13.079
opened the door I realized it was
still daylight. I didn' t understand

708
00:56:13.079 --> 00:56:16.199
anything. She noticed I was kind
of weird. She asked me about it,

709
00:56:16.400 --> 00:56:21.800
and I told her that she didn' t believe me. Then I

710
00:56:21.840 --> 00:56:24.559
told her the story she had told
me, the Buddha' s story with

711
00:56:24.639 --> 00:56:29.800
the woman who had lost her son. She kept thinking and told me it

712
00:56:29.840 --> 00:56:32.480
was the first time I talked to
someone who had had an owl dja.

713
00:56:34.519 --> 00:56:37.880
What he recommended was that I not
do what I had seen in my ship

714
00:56:37.000 --> 00:56:40.920
leave better, instead of going to
my son' s room to find that

715
00:56:40.960 --> 00:56:45.639
dark notebook that better accompany her to
eat something, I listened to him.

716
00:56:46.639 --> 00:56:52.079
The next day, as I was
still very thoughtful, I decided to pay

717
00:56:52.119 --> 00:56:57.280
someone to clean my son' s
room to keep everything in bags and all

718
00:56:57.320 --> 00:57:01.840
the bags in boxes. And when
that person finished saving everything. When I

719
00:57:01.920 --> 00:57:07.559
was already paying him. I asked
him if he had seen a notebook with

720
00:57:07.719 --> 00:57:12.440
such characteristics and he replied yes.
That confirmed that my Deyabu had been real.

721
00:57:13.840 --> 00:57:16.440
To this day I still wonder what
would have happened if I had read

722
00:57:16.559 --> 00:57:29.800
that notebook. Stories written and adapted
