1
00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:09.480
I' ve always liked the sea. I remember that since I was a
2
00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:11.400
kid, I loved to swim through
the waves and step on the sand.
3
00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:17.120
It really was a scenario that struck
me completely. It was from that moment
4
00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:20.640
that I decided that I wanted to
dedicate my life to the sea. When
5
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:25.120
I was of age, I had
the opportunity to enlist in the navy.
6
00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:31.280
I knew it wouldn' t be
easy, but I wanted to try with
7
00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:34.520
all my might and honor my family
as it should be. My name is
8
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:40.840
George and I will never forget that
sunset in which the ocean became dark and
9
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:47.079
began my greatest martyrdom. As a
veteran sailor, I had sailed through turbulent
10
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:53.799
and calm seas, but I had
never before witnessed anything as disturbing as that
11
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:56.679
evening on the high seas. It
was my watch shift on the deck of
12
00:00:56.799 --> 00:01:00.759
the ship, an old merchant ship
plunging the waters of the Atlantic. The
13
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:07.439
sun had hidden behind the horizon,
submerging the ocean in deep darkness. The
14
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:14.079
stars barely appeared among the clouds in
the sky. Everything seemed quiet until I
15
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:18.599
saw it at first. It was
only a fleeting flash in the distance,
16
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:25.359
a shadow moving with supernatural grace upon
the waves. My eyes were wide open
17
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:30.640
trying to see what was so mysterious, but as the certainty approached that it
18
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:37.120
was not natural. It was as
if darkness itself had come to life.
19
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:45.239
His presence emanated a feeling of intense
cold. At that moment I was petrified,
20
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:49.239
unable to turn my gaze away from
that sea spectre that was getting closer
21
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:55.920
and closer my crew members remained alien
to the vision that was approaching us,
22
00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:00.599
when the shadow was close enough to
make a distinction between his face or at
23
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:07.200
least what seemed to be his face, a mixture of twisted shapes and bottomless
24
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:10.759
eyes that looked at me with an
intensity that would freeze the blood in my
25
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:16.080
veins. That' s when I
knew we weren' t the only ones
26
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:21.680
in that ocean that there was something
beyond marine animals. I really knew that
27
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:27.840
a paranormal being was the one who
was hidden in the depths and as that
28
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:31.919
being faded into darkness, his laughter
and eyes so penetrating remained in my mind.
29
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:38.840
At that moment I knew I had
dug up a secret I should never
30
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:44.280
have known. That night, when
the clock set the time of rest,
31
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:49.000
I found myself unable to find peace
in my cabin. My mind was only
32
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:53.400
spinning in the images of the being
I had seen at sea. His empty
33
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:59.280
eyes and his icy laughter became present
in my thoughts. The stereotype of sailor
34
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:04.759
always made of strength and strength,
but at that moment I wanted to tell
35
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:08.919
my companions what happened in one way
or another. I felt a kind of
36
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:13.719
fear and mockery that they would make
of me. If I told him what
37
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:19.919
happened, I kept my feelings.
I wrapped myself in the linens trying to
38
00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:25.000
chase away the memories of that supernatural
encounter, but the more I struggled to
39
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:29.360
forget, the more vivid it became
the image in my mind. Every time
40
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:32.919
I closed my eyes, I could
feel their presence inside my cabin as if
41
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:38.560
I were waiting for the right moment
to manifest once again the fear took hold
42
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:44.360
of me, turning each shadow into
a possible hiding place for that nightmare being.
43
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:49.280
When the first rays of dawn finally
filtered through the small window of my
44
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:54.719
cabin, I felt a slight sigh
of relief. The light of day demonstrated
45
00:03:54.759 --> 00:04:00.599
in one way or another the sense
that that creature could only dwell in the
46
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:06.639
darkness of the night. As the
days passed, the disturbing feeling did not
47
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:12.919
abandon me. Every time I found
myself undercover, I became present in my
48
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:17.000
being a fear hoping to see again
that being that had tormented me at night.
49
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:24.480
My crewmates noticed my change of attitude, but I couldn' t find
50
00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:29.959
the words to explain what I had
seen. I was afraid that they would
51
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:34.800
call me crazy or superstitious the sound
of the sea hitting the hull of the
52
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:40.439
boat was a constant noise in the
night that accompanied me on my watch shift,
53
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:45.519
but this time I was not alone
I met my companion Saul, and
54
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:48.560
it was at that time that things
began to change. I knew that being
55
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:56.720
that dark shadow that was among my
thoughts would appear again and so it was
56
00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:00.720
when the first shadows of the morning
arrived on the deck. His presence made
57
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:06.480
itself felt once again, but this
time something was different. He was not
58
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:11.040
merely observing me from a distance,
as he had done in the past.
59
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:16.759
This time he seemed to be approaching, sliding through the waves with a sinister
60
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:23.279
determination, a sense of dread.
He seized me by paralyzing me in the
61
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:28.920
place as I watched as that being
approached slowly. As I approached, I
62
00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:33.839
began to experience a strange feeling of
discomfort. An intense cold took over my
63
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:40.600
body as if it was being consumed
from within. Every fiber of my being
64
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:45.160
seemed to twist in agony. As
the being approached me with an overwhelming presence.
65
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:51.600
I tried to scream for help from
my crewmates, but my vocal cords
66
00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:59.160
seemed paralyzed by horror. All I
could do was watch impotently as that being
67
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:03.199
approached me more, wrapping me in
his aura of darkness. Despite being still,
68
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:08.040
he was no longer the only person
who had realized the existence of that
69
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:12.920
being Saul had been a new victim
of that sinister being that accompanied us in
70
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:17.800
the early morning. That' s
when I got it. That being was
71
00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:24.480
not only a supernatural presence in the
ocean, it was a sinister and unknown
72
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:30.319
being who apparently fed on souls every
moment that passed in his presence. It
73
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:34.160
was like a drop of poison that
infiltrated into the depths of me. Consuming
74
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:41.759
me slowly from within desperate, I
struggled to remain conscious, not succumbing to
75
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:46.439
the darkness that threatened to devour me
completely, but my efforts were in vain.
76
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:51.839
When I finally managed to free myself
from his influence, I found myself
77
00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:58.079
in a state of physical and mental
exhaustion, with the certainty that something within
78
00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:01.759
me had changed from moment to moment
I lost the notion of time. Things
79
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:08.399
just got complicated. When I opened
my eyes, I was lying down,
80
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:14.160
while my companion, Saul, looked
at me with concern and mentioned my name
81
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:17.160
several times. The rumor spread over
the ship. After what happened at the
82
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:23.959
time, all the sailors were very
confused. Only strange glances were being cast
83
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:28.480
about it. Some said he had
witnessed an encounter with a sea creature,
84
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:34.600
a monster that fed on the souls
of people sailing through the sea. More
85
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:42.279
superstitious ones claimed that what they had
seen was the spirit of a dead sailor
86
00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:47.800
condemned to wander for eternity. Saul, the companion who had witnessed the last
87
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:54.040
encounter with the dark shadow, insisted
that it was a supernatural entity, a
88
00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:58.839
spectrum from beyond that had been attracted
by the hidden sins of the ship and
89
00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:05.240
its tripun These comments sowed doubts and
comments to the air about what was really
90
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:11.759
happening. But as the days and
nights passed, the true nature of the
91
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:18.839
creature remained an unsolved mystery. Some
claimed to have seen flashes of movement in
92
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:26.079
the depths of the ocean during the
night, while others swore to have heard
93
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:30.959
sinister laughter floating in the sea breeze. Fear had become a constant shadow among
94
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:37.919
the sailors of that ship. After
days, the entire crew was in great
95
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:43.519
fear. For me, fear was
deeper personal. I knew what I had
96
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:50.080
experienced was not a simple superstition or
hallucination. I had felt the presence of
97
00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:56.639
that creature, felt its influence in
the depths of me and tried to ignore
98
00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:01.279
it. I knew I couldn'
t escape the truth. Something dark and
99
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:07.720
sinister was in the depths of the
ocean and we were in its sights.
100
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:11.960
As the ship continued its journey through
the waters, fear was clinging to us
101
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:18.480
and as we went into the darkness
of the Ocean, I could only wonder
102
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:24.279
what other secrets and horrors were waiting
for us in the unknown depths of the
103
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:28.799
sea. The night Saul returned to
meet the dark presence in the sea will
104
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:33.440
be marked in my memory as one
of the scariest of my life while performing
105
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:37.279
his watch shift on the deck,
his screams of terror began to be heard
106
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:45.879
all over the ship. We ran
to the deck fearing the worst we found
107
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:50.840
him by the edge, with his
eyes disorbited and his gaze fixed on the
108
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:56.120
dark horizon of the sea. We
tried to get him out of there screaming
109
00:09:56.240 --> 00:10:00.320
at him begging him to return to
the ship, but he was, as
110
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:03.840
hypnotized by the Presence, found in
the depths and then in an instant disappeared.
111
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:07.679
It was as if the sea itself
had swallowed it by devouring it in
112
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:13.399
the dark. We looked desperately in
the turbulent waters, hoping to find some
113
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:18.279
trace of him, but it was
in vain. Saul had been consumed by
114
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:24.799
that sinister being. There was no
other explanation that had terrified our minds.
115
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:31.000
The news of his disappearance spread the
next day among the crew, triggering panic.
116
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:37.000
Some claimed that he had been dragged
into the abyss by the creature,
117
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:43.000
while others attributed him to a tragic
accident. But as the days and nights
118
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:48.840
passed, an even more disturbing truth
began to arise Saul had not been simply
119
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:54.639
dragged by the waves. It had
been torn away by a dark, supernatural
120
00:10:54.679 --> 00:11:00.360
force that we could not comprehend.
Terror gripped us like a relentless tide,
121
00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:05.799
wrapping us in its icy claws as
we sailed through an increasingly hostile and unknown
122
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:11.919
ocean. Every shadow in the night, even the wind came to frighten the
123
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:18.519
sailors, which became a threat.
The emergency call began to circulate through the
124
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:24.440
radio waves, sending a message of
despair to all nearby ships and coastal stations.
125
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:31.320
We had lost one of our own
in mysterious circumstances, and the need
126
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:39.799
to find an answer became increasingly urgent. Days turned into weeks and weeks into
127
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:46.000
months. But despite our tireless efforts, Saulâ s search did not bear
128
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:50.879
fruit. The sea had swallowed up
any trace of its existence, leaving us
129
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:56.360
with more questions. We knew that
the chances of finding Saul' s body
130
00:11:56.440 --> 00:12:01.799
were scarce, that the sea was
a cruel and immense place, but even
131
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:07.120
in the midst of our resignation.
The shadow of suspicion was still in our
132
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:13.440
minds. What had really happened that
night when Saul disappeared. What was that
133
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:18.679
dark presence that had terrified our nights
and had taken one of ours without a
134
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:26.080
trace. Some claimed to have seen
ghostly figures during their watch nights, while
135
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:33.639
others talked about sea monsters hiding in
the depths of the ocean. But I
136
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:37.399
knew the truth. I had seen
with my own eyes the dark presence that
137
00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:43.639
had brought Saul to his final destination
and knew that we were not the only
138
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:48.600
ones in danger. The sea kept
dark and dangerous secrets, as the ship
139
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:56.559
continued its journey through unexplored waters.
I couldn' t help but wonder what
140
00:12:56.639 --> 00:12:58.679
other horrors were waiting for us.
The weight of guilt was clinging to me
141
00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:05.480
remembering at all times the decision I
had made that night. If only I
142
00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:11.120
had been there with Saul things would
have changed, if only I had not
143
00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:16.039
let him face only that dark presence
in the sea, perhaps things would have
144
00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:24.320
been different, perhaps I would not
have disappeared, as he did one night
145
00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:28.919
while performing my watch shift. I
knew that I was not alone, I
146
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:35.360
knew that that being would appear again
and when I saw it I knew that
147
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:37.639
this time I could not be paralyzed
by fear with the heart. Beating hard
148
00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:43.000
on my chest, I approached the
railing and looked straight into the empty eyes
149
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:48.919
of that dark shadow. The being
was sliding over the waves. His penetrating
150
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:52.840
gaze fixed on me with an intensity
that iced my blood, but instead of
151
00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:58.159
retreating, instead of fleeing before his
presence, I stood firm and then,
152
00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:05.720
in an instant, disappeared. I
stood there gasping and trembling with my heart
153
00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:11.200
still beating hard. He had faced
the being who had tormented our nights and
154
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:16.200
knew that the danger was still in
the depths of the sea. I knew
155
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:24.000
that I could not face only a
supernatural being, that my courage had limits
156
00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:28.279
full of pain and the soul of
fear. I made a decision that I
157
00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:35.240
never thought I would desert the navy, abandon my life as a sailor,
158
00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:39.480
my passion and my purpose in search
of tranquility and safety, which I knew
159
00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:45.360
I would never find at sea.
It was a difficult decision, one that
160
00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:52.120
filled me with shame and regret,
but it was also a necessary decision,
161
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:58.440
one that would allow me to escape
from that demon that had tormented my nights
162
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:01.080
and my thoughts for too long.
So, I left behind the ship and
163
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:05.480
the crew that had been my home
for so many years. I walked away
164
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:09.639
from the coast looking for a refuge, far from the reach of the sea
165
00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:15.879
and its mysteries, but even on
dry land, far from the constant noise
166
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:18.960
of the waves and wind, I
could not find the peace that I had
167
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:22.679
so much hoped for. The shadow
of what I had left behind continued to
168
00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:26.399
haunt me in every dark corner of
my mind, remembering the truth that I
169
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:31.200
could not escape. And as the
days passed and the nights passed I realized
170
00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:37.000
that the madness was not gone,
it had only transformed into a different way.
171
00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:41.320
Now, instead of facing the shadows
of the sea, I faced those
172
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:46.799
of my own mind with memories and
doubts that refused to disappear. But,
173
00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:52.799
in spite of everything, I kept
going, holding on to the hope that
174
00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:58.159
one day I would find the peace
that I so longed for and knew that
175
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:00.919
darkness was still in the depths of
the sea. I also knew that I
176
00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:06.320
had chosen a different path, one
that would take me away from that nightmare.
177
00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:11.679
With the passage of time, the
history of supernatural encounters in the waters
178
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:18.120
of the sea became a legend that
transcended generations of sailors, from the youngest
179
00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:23.480
sailors to the most veterans. They
all knew the story of ships mysteriously disappearing
180
00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:30.639
into the depths. But despite their
fame, no one knew for sure the
181
00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:34.600
true nature of the entity that had
terrorized so many sailors over the years.
182
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:42.759
Some claimed that it was a vindictive
spirit doomed to wander the sea. Others
183
00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:48.279
speculated that he was a sea monster, a creature from the depths that fed
184
00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:53.200
on souls lost in the ocean.
The theories were so many, but none
185
00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:57.720
offered a definitive answer to the riddle
that had puzzled so many. But,
186
00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:03.440
despite the uncertainty surrounding the legend of
the dark sea, one thing was certain.
187
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:10.519
The Ocean keeps dark and dangerous secrets
that were not meant to be discovered
188
00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:15.200
by the human mind. And as
the ships continued their journey through the waters.
189
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:19.839
Men today know the danger and mystery
that would never stop surprising and terrorizing
190
00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:29.799
those brave enough to challenge him.
Today, if you ask me to describe
191
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:34.119
that nightmare I lived through, it
is known that the existence of the darkness
192
00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:41.319
of the ocean is still present,
for that is where a sinister figure full
193
00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:47.319
of mystery rises. That being was
definitely the very personification of terror. His
194
00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:52.960
presence was a threat to remind sailors
and sea- loving people that everything looks
195
00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:59.440
beautiful. Many are unaware of the
dangers of those who ventured beyond unknown books.
196
00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:06.279
The sea is definitely not a place
for the weak and as its shadow
197
00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:10.920
faded into the darkness of the horizon, leaving behind a trail of mystery.
198
00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:18.079
The sailors knew that they could never
forget what had happened, for it is
199
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:23.839
clear that there are among the depths
the dark secrets that torment those who dare
200
00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:27.599
to challenge or overcome them. Fortunately, I came out alive in that situation,
201
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:34.039
but people and victims like Saul today
are remembered with great respect for having
202
00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:45.160
had the courage to navigate the seas
that are definitely cursed and dark. A
203
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:47.759
story written and adapted by Andrea Lezama.
1
00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:09.480
I' ve always liked the sea. I remember that since I was a
2
00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:11.400
kid, I loved to swim through
the waves and step on the sand.
3
00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:17.120
It really was a scenario that struck
me completely. It was from that moment
4
00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:20.640
that I decided that I wanted to
dedicate my life to the sea. When
5
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:25.120
I was of age, I had
the opportunity to enlist in the navy.
6
00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:31.280
I knew it wouldn' t be
easy, but I wanted to try with
7
00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:34.520
all my might and honor my family
as it should be. My name is
8
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:40.840
George and I will never forget that
sunset in which the ocean became dark and
9
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:47.079
began my greatest martyrdom. As a
veteran sailor, I had sailed through turbulent
10
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:53.799
and calm seas, but I had
never before witnessed anything as disturbing as that
11
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:56.679
evening on the high seas. It
was my watch shift on the deck of
12
00:00:56.799 --> 00:01:00.759
the ship, an old merchant ship
plunging the waters of the Atlantic. The
13
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:07.439
sun had hidden behind the horizon,
submerging the ocean in deep darkness. The
14
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:14.079
stars barely appeared among the clouds in
the sky. Everything seemed quiet until I
15
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:18.599
saw it at first. It was
only a fleeting flash in the distance,
16
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:25.359
a shadow moving with supernatural grace upon
the waves. My eyes were wide open
17
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:30.640
trying to see what was so mysterious, but as the certainty approached that it
18
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:37.120
was not natural. It was as
if darkness itself had come to life.
19
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:45.239
His presence emanated a feeling of intense
cold. At that moment I was petrified,
20
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:49.239
unable to turn my gaze away from
that sea spectre that was getting closer
21
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:55.920
and closer my crew members remained alien
to the vision that was approaching us,
22
00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:00.599
when the shadow was close enough to
make a distinction between his face or at
23
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:07.200
least what seemed to be his face, a mixture of twisted shapes and bottomless
24
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:10.759
eyes that looked at me with an
intensity that would freeze the blood in my
25
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:16.080
veins. That' s when I
knew we weren' t the only ones
26
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:21.680
in that ocean that there was something
beyond marine animals. I really knew that
27
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:27.840
a paranormal being was the one who
was hidden in the depths and as that
28
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:31.919
being faded into darkness, his laughter
and eyes so penetrating remained in my mind.
29
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:38.840
At that moment I knew I had
dug up a secret I should never
30
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:44.280
have known. That night, when
the clock set the time of rest,
31
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:49.000
I found myself unable to find peace
in my cabin. My mind was only
32
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:53.400
spinning in the images of the being
I had seen at sea. His empty
33
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:59.280
eyes and his icy laughter became present
in my thoughts. The stereotype of sailor
34
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:04.759
always made of strength and strength,
but at that moment I wanted to tell
35
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:08.919
my companions what happened in one way
or another. I felt a kind of
36
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:13.719
fear and mockery that they would make
of me. If I told him what
37
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:19.919
happened, I kept my feelings.
I wrapped myself in the linens trying to
38
00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:25.000
chase away the memories of that supernatural
encounter, but the more I struggled to
39
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:29.360
forget, the more vivid it became
the image in my mind. Every time
40
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:32.919
I closed my eyes, I could
feel their presence inside my cabin as if
41
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:38.560
I were waiting for the right moment
to manifest once again the fear took hold
42
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:44.360
of me, turning each shadow into
a possible hiding place for that nightmare being.
43
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:49.280
When the first rays of dawn finally
filtered through the small window of my
44
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:54.719
cabin, I felt a slight sigh
of relief. The light of day demonstrated
45
00:03:54.759 --> 00:04:00.599
in one way or another the sense
that that creature could only dwell in the
46
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:06.639
darkness of the night. As the
days passed, the disturbing feeling did not
47
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:12.919
abandon me. Every time I found
myself undercover, I became present in my
48
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:17.000
being a fear hoping to see again
that being that had tormented me at night.
49
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:24.480
My crewmates noticed my change of attitude, but I couldn' t find
50
00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:29.959
the words to explain what I had
seen. I was afraid that they would
51
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:34.800
call me crazy or superstitious the sound
of the sea hitting the hull of the
52
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:40.439
boat was a constant noise in the
night that accompanied me on my watch shift,
53
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:45.519
but this time I was not alone
I met my companion Saul, and
54
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:48.560
it was at that time that things
began to change. I knew that being
55
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:56.720
that dark shadow that was among my
thoughts would appear again and so it was
56
00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:00.720
when the first shadows of the morning
arrived on the deck. His presence made
57
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:06.480
itself felt once again, but this
time something was different. He was not
58
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:11.040
merely observing me from a distance,
as he had done in the past.
59
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:16.759
This time he seemed to be approaching, sliding through the waves with a sinister
60
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:23.279
determination, a sense of dread.
He seized me by paralyzing me in the
61
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:28.920
place as I watched as that being
approached slowly. As I approached, I
62
00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:33.839
began to experience a strange feeling of
discomfort. An intense cold took over my
63
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:40.600
body as if it was being consumed
from within. Every fiber of my being
64
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:45.160
seemed to twist in agony. As
the being approached me with an overwhelming presence.
65
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:51.600
I tried to scream for help from
my crewmates, but my vocal cords
66
00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:59.160
seemed paralyzed by horror. All I
could do was watch impotently as that being
67
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:03.199
approached me more, wrapping me in
his aura of darkness. Despite being still,
68
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:08.040
he was no longer the only person
who had realized the existence of that
69
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:12.920
being Saul had been a new victim
of that sinister being that accompanied us in
70
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:17.800
the early morning. That' s
when I got it. That being was
71
00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:24.480
not only a supernatural presence in the
ocean, it was a sinister and unknown
72
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:30.319
being who apparently fed on souls every
moment that passed in his presence. It
73
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:34.160
was like a drop of poison that
infiltrated into the depths of me. Consuming
74
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:41.759
me slowly from within desperate, I
struggled to remain conscious, not succumbing to
75
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:46.439
the darkness that threatened to devour me
completely, but my efforts were in vain.
76
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:51.839
When I finally managed to free myself
from his influence, I found myself
77
00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:58.079
in a state of physical and mental
exhaustion, with the certainty that something within
78
00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:01.759
me had changed from moment to moment
I lost the notion of time. Things
79
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:08.399
just got complicated. When I opened
my eyes, I was lying down,
80
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:14.160
while my companion, Saul, looked
at me with concern and mentioned my name
81
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:17.160
several times. The rumor spread over
the ship. After what happened at the
82
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:23.959
time, all the sailors were very
confused. Only strange glances were being cast
83
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:28.480
about it. Some said he had
witnessed an encounter with a sea creature,
84
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:34.600
a monster that fed on the souls
of people sailing through the sea. More
85
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:42.279
superstitious ones claimed that what they had
seen was the spirit of a dead sailor
86
00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:47.800
condemned to wander for eternity. Saul, the companion who had witnessed the last
87
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:54.040
encounter with the dark shadow, insisted
that it was a supernatural entity, a
88
00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:58.839
spectrum from beyond that had been attracted
by the hidden sins of the ship and
89
00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:05.240
its tripun These comments sowed doubts and
comments to the air about what was really
90
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:11.759
happening. But as the days and
nights passed, the true nature of the
91
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:18.839
creature remained an unsolved mystery. Some
claimed to have seen flashes of movement in
92
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:26.079
the depths of the ocean during the
night, while others swore to have heard
93
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:30.959
sinister laughter floating in the sea breeze. Fear had become a constant shadow among
94
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:37.919
the sailors of that ship. After
days, the entire crew was in great
95
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:43.519
fear. For me, fear was
deeper personal. I knew what I had
96
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:50.080
experienced was not a simple superstition or
hallucination. I had felt the presence of
97
00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:56.639
that creature, felt its influence in
the depths of me and tried to ignore
98
00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:01.279
it. I knew I couldn'
t escape the truth. Something dark and
99
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:07.720
sinister was in the depths of the
ocean and we were in its sights.
100
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:11.960
As the ship continued its journey through
the waters, fear was clinging to us
101
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:18.480
and as we went into the darkness
of the Ocean, I could only wonder
102
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:24.279
what other secrets and horrors were waiting
for us in the unknown depths of the
103
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:28.799
sea. The night Saul returned to
meet the dark presence in the sea will
104
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:33.440
be marked in my memory as one
of the scariest of my life while performing
105
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:37.279
his watch shift on the deck,
his screams of terror began to be heard
106
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:45.879
all over the ship. We ran
to the deck fearing the worst we found
107
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:50.840
him by the edge, with his
eyes disorbited and his gaze fixed on the
108
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:56.120
dark horizon of the sea. We
tried to get him out of there screaming
109
00:09:56.240 --> 00:10:00.320
at him begging him to return to
the ship, but he was, as
110
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:03.840
hypnotized by the Presence, found in
the depths and then in an instant disappeared.
111
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:07.679
It was as if the sea itself
had swallowed it by devouring it in
112
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:13.399
the dark. We looked desperately in
the turbulent waters, hoping to find some
113
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:18.279
trace of him, but it was
in vain. Saul had been consumed by
114
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:24.799
that sinister being. There was no
other explanation that had terrified our minds.
115
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:31.000
The news of his disappearance spread the
next day among the crew, triggering panic.
116
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:37.000
Some claimed that he had been dragged
into the abyss by the creature,
117
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:43.000
while others attributed him to a tragic
accident. But as the days and nights
118
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:48.840
passed, an even more disturbing truth
began to arise Saul had not been simply
119
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:54.639
dragged by the waves. It had
been torn away by a dark, supernatural
120
00:10:54.679 --> 00:11:00.360
force that we could not comprehend.
Terror gripped us like a relentless tide,
121
00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:05.799
wrapping us in its icy claws as
we sailed through an increasingly hostile and unknown
122
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:11.919
ocean. Every shadow in the night, even the wind came to frighten the
123
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:18.519
sailors, which became a threat.
The emergency call began to circulate through the
124
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:24.440
radio waves, sending a message of
despair to all nearby ships and coastal stations.
125
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:31.320
We had lost one of our own
in mysterious circumstances, and the need
126
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:39.799
to find an answer became increasingly urgent. Days turned into weeks and weeks into
127
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:46.000
months. But despite our tireless efforts, Saulâ s search did not bear
128
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:50.879
fruit. The sea had swallowed up
any trace of its existence, leaving us
129
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:56.360
with more questions. We knew that
the chances of finding Saul' s body
130
00:11:56.440 --> 00:12:01.799
were scarce, that the sea was
a cruel and immense place, but even
131
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:07.120
in the midst of our resignation.
The shadow of suspicion was still in our
132
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:13.440
minds. What had really happened that
night when Saul disappeared. What was that
133
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:18.679
dark presence that had terrified our nights
and had taken one of ours without a
134
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:26.080
trace. Some claimed to have seen
ghostly figures during their watch nights, while
135
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:33.639
others talked about sea monsters hiding in
the depths of the ocean. But I
136
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:37.399
knew the truth. I had seen
with my own eyes the dark presence that
137
00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:43.639
had brought Saul to his final destination
and knew that we were not the only
138
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:48.600
ones in danger. The sea kept
dark and dangerous secrets, as the ship
139
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:56.559
continued its journey through unexplored waters.
I couldn' t help but wonder what
140
00:12:56.639 --> 00:12:58.679
other horrors were waiting for us.
The weight of guilt was clinging to me
141
00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:05.480
remembering at all times the decision I
had made that night. If only I
142
00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:11.120
had been there with Saul things would
have changed, if only I had not
143
00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:16.039
let him face only that dark presence
in the sea, perhaps things would have
144
00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:24.320
been different, perhaps I would not
have disappeared, as he did one night
145
00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:28.919
while performing my watch shift. I
knew that I was not alone, I
146
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:35.360
knew that that being would appear again
and when I saw it I knew that
147
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:37.639
this time I could not be paralyzed
by fear with the heart. Beating hard
148
00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:43.000
on my chest, I approached the
railing and looked straight into the empty eyes
149
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:48.919
of that dark shadow. The being
was sliding over the waves. His penetrating
150
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:52.840
gaze fixed on me with an intensity
that iced my blood, but instead of
151
00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:58.159
retreating, instead of fleeing before his
presence, I stood firm and then,
152
00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:05.720
in an instant, disappeared. I
stood there gasping and trembling with my heart
153
00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:11.200
still beating hard. He had faced
the being who had tormented our nights and
154
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:16.200
knew that the danger was still in
the depths of the sea. I knew
155
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:24.000
that I could not face only a
supernatural being, that my courage had limits
156
00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:28.279
full of pain and the soul of
fear. I made a decision that I
157
00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:35.240
never thought I would desert the navy, abandon my life as a sailor,
158
00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:39.480
my passion and my purpose in search
of tranquility and safety, which I knew
159
00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:45.360
I would never find at sea.
It was a difficult decision, one that
160
00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:52.120
filled me with shame and regret,
but it was also a necessary decision,
161
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:58.440
one that would allow me to escape
from that demon that had tormented my nights
162
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:01.080
and my thoughts for too long.
So, I left behind the ship and
163
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:05.480
the crew that had been my home
for so many years. I walked away
164
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:09.639
from the coast looking for a refuge, far from the reach of the sea
165
00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:15.879
and its mysteries, but even on
dry land, far from the constant noise
166
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:18.960
of the waves and wind, I
could not find the peace that I had
167
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:22.679
so much hoped for. The shadow
of what I had left behind continued to
168
00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:26.399
haunt me in every dark corner of
my mind, remembering the truth that I
169
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:31.200
could not escape. And as the
days passed and the nights passed I realized
170
00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:37.000
that the madness was not gone,
it had only transformed into a different way.
171
00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:41.320
Now, instead of facing the shadows
of the sea, I faced those
172
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:46.799
of my own mind with memories and
doubts that refused to disappear. But,
173
00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:52.799
in spite of everything, I kept
going, holding on to the hope that
174
00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:58.159
one day I would find the peace
that I so longed for and knew that
175
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:00.919
darkness was still in the depths of
the sea. I also knew that I
176
00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:06.320
had chosen a different path, one
that would take me away from that nightmare.
177
00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:11.679
With the passage of time, the
history of supernatural encounters in the waters
178
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:18.120
of the sea became a legend that
transcended generations of sailors, from the youngest
179
00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:23.480
sailors to the most veterans. They
all knew the story of ships mysteriously disappearing
180
00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:30.639
into the depths. But despite their
fame, no one knew for sure the
181
00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:34.600
true nature of the entity that had
terrorized so many sailors over the years.
182
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:42.759
Some claimed that it was a vindictive
spirit doomed to wander the sea. Others
183
00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:48.279
speculated that he was a sea monster, a creature from the depths that fed
184
00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:53.200
on souls lost in the ocean.
The theories were so many, but none
185
00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:57.720
offered a definitive answer to the riddle
that had puzzled so many. But,
186
00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:03.440
despite the uncertainty surrounding the legend of
the dark sea, one thing was certain.
187
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:10.519
The Ocean keeps dark and dangerous secrets
that were not meant to be discovered
188
00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:15.200
by the human mind. And as
the ships continued their journey through the waters.
189
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:19.839
Men today know the danger and mystery
that would never stop surprising and terrorizing
190
00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:29.799
those brave enough to challenge him.
Today, if you ask me to describe
191
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:34.119
that nightmare I lived through, it
is known that the existence of the darkness
192
00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:41.319
of the ocean is still present,
for that is where a sinister figure full
193
00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:47.319
of mystery rises. That being was
definitely the very personification of terror. His
194
00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:52.960
presence was a threat to remind sailors
and sea- loving people that everything looks
195
00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:59.440
beautiful. Many are unaware of the
dangers of those who ventured beyond unknown books.
196
00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:06.279
The sea is definitely not a place
for the weak and as its shadow
197
00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:10.920
faded into the darkness of the horizon, leaving behind a trail of mystery.
198
00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:18.079
The sailors knew that they could never
forget what had happened, for it is
199
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:23.839
clear that there are among the depths
the dark secrets that torment those who dare
200
00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:27.599
to challenge or overcome them. Fortunately, I came out alive in that situation,
201
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:34.039
but people and victims like Saul today
are remembered with great respect for having
202
00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:45.160
had the courage to navigate the seas
that are definitely cursed and dark. A
203
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:47.759
story written and adapted by Andrea Lezama.
