1
00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:13.439
First testimony. About six years ago
we had to face a very difficult event

2
00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:17.519
in our family, my aunt'
s death. Who was my mother'

3
00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:22.320
s sister? My aunt was a
very special person with a very peculiar hobby.

4
00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:28.480
He loved collecting leprechaun figures. These
are not common creatures in most homes,

5
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:34.840
but to her they represented something magical
and charming. His home, where

6
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:39.840
he lived for many years, was
filled with these figures, each with a

7
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:45.840
unique design and story behind it.
My aunt had always clearly expressed her wish

8
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:52.719
that, upon dying her estate would
be distributed equally among her children. However,

9
00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:57.119
despite his wishes, after his death, his eldest daughter ended up keeping

10
00:00:57.159 --> 00:01:03.200
the whole house. This created considerable
tension within the family, as it was

11
00:01:03.239 --> 00:01:10.640
against my aunt' s last wishes. The situation became even more complex when

12
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:15.840
my cousin, the new owner of
the house, began to experience very vivid

13
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:22.959
and disturbing dreams. In these dreams
his mother appeared insistently asking him to leave

14
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:29.439
the house. These dreams were recurring
and disturbing, but my cousin chose to

15
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:33.680
ignore them and decided to stay there
and live with her family. As time

16
00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:38.040
passed, my cousin began to notice
even more strange and difficult to explain phenomena.

17
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:44.400
She began to feel that the goblin
figures her mother had collected for so

18
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:49.359
many years seemed to observe her.
According to her, these figures not only

19
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:53.840
looked at her, but sometimes seemed
to move from the place on their own.

20
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:59.120
These events were so frequent and disturbing
that even his son, a little

21
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:04.200
boy of barely two years old,
seemed to interact with the leprechauns talking to

22
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:07.120
them as if they were invisible friends. This series of strange events and the

23
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:12.800
feeling of being watched by the goblins
led my cousin to make a drastic decision.

24
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:17.039
Although the figures had been a great
passion for her mother and were an

25
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:23.159
important part of her legacy, my
cousin could no longer endure the oppressive atmosphere

26
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:29.520
that had been created in her home
in a desperate attempt to regain normalcy and

27
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:35.360
possibly calm the conflicting spirits, she
decided to get rid of the entire collection.

28
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:38.960
One by one. He took the
goblin figures out of the house and

29
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:45.639
threw them into the trash, hoping
that with each figure discarded, the atmosphere

30
00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:51.879
in his home would lighten and the
disturbing events would cease. When my mother

31
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:54.960
found out about the decision my cousin
had made regarding the leprechaun collection, she

32
00:02:55.080 --> 00:03:00.159
felt very affected. Despite understanding my
cousin' s s montis to get rid

33
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:05.800
of them, my mother could not
stop thinking about her sister and how those

34
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:12.199
little beings had formed such an important
part of her life. Moved by her

35
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:15.800
sister' s memory, she made
a special request to my cousin. He

36
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:21.599
asked him to keep one of the
leprechauns as a fond memory of his deceased

37
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:27.639
sister. Accessing my mother' s
request, my cousin carefully selected one of

38
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:30.240
the leprechauns, the same one that
can be seen in the photo we share

39
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:36.879
in the family. This particular leprechaun
had a naughty smile and seemed to have

40
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:43.400
a special spark, which probably made
it stand out for my mother. Once

41
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:46.199
the goblin was delivered to my mother, he placed it in a special place,

42
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:51.360
in our home, in a furniture
in the living room, where we

43
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:55.680
could all see it and remember my
aunt every time we passed by. Just

44
00:03:55.759 --> 00:04:01.439
a few days ago something happened that
took us all by surprise. We were

45
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:06.680
gathered in the dining room enjoying a
quiet afternoon. Watching TV. My four

46
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:11.960
- year- old niece played on
the floor, not far from where we

47
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:15.160
were sitting. Suddenly, without any
explanation, the goblin that my mother had

48
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:19.839
placed in the furniture seemed to move
on its own. He slipped to the

49
00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:24.759
edge of the furniture and fell to
the ground as if he had decided to

50
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:29.839
jump. My niece, who until
that moment was focused on her toys,

51
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:33.959
quickly rose up and picked up the
goblin from the ground and, looking him

52
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:39.000
in the eye, told him seriously
not to throw the doll. Everyone in

53
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:45.319
the room stared at the scene astonished
and speechless. My mother and I exchanged

54
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:51.120
glances wondering how that movement had been
possible and what my niece' s words

55
00:04:51.199 --> 00:05:00.120
meant. The following days we were
reflecting on the incident was particularly strange considering

56
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:04.319
my niece had never met my aunt, as she had passed away before my

57
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:09.839
niece was born. However, the
way my niece spoke to the leprechaun and

58
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:15.319
the way he seemed to move on
his own made us think if somehow the

59
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:19.639
leprechaun had a special connection with my
aunt or if he had some unexplained energy

60
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:27.519
that somehow manifested itself on that night, particularly as part of my usual routine.

61
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:34.639
Before I slept, I decided to
listen to an episode of a very

62
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:40.959
popular horror podcast. In this program, listeners share stories and experiences that they

63
00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:46.959
have lived and that have a chilling
tint. As the night progressed and as

64
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:50.319
I passed from midnight to 2:
00 in the morning, I felt the

65
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:57.079
need to pause, especially knowing that
my alarm would ring at 6: 00

66
00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:00.959
in the morning to go to work
with the horror story. Still ringing in

67
00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:04.639
my head, I got up from
my bed and walked into the kitchen.

68
00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:11.360
The house was in complete silence.
My intention was simply to drink a glass

69
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:15.800
of water to quench the thirst and
perhaps dissipate the attention that the podcast had

70
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:19.199
generated in me. Just as I
filled the glass of water in the kitchen,

71
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:25.759
a peculiar sensation invaded me, a
kind of chill that ran through my

72
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:30.480
back. I felt like someone or
something was watching me very closely. At

73
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:35.279
first I thought it might be the
effect of podcast, that horror stories had

74
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:42.199
started to play with my imagination,
creating an atmosphere of fear even in my

75
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:47.240
own home. After drinking water and
calming down a little, I returned to

76
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:53.000
my room. That' s when
I noticed something unusual. The ceramic goblin

77
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:58.399
that had belonged to my late aunt
and that was usually in a furniture in

78
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:04.199
the hallway seemed to stare at me. His brightly painted eyes were fixed as

79
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:10.519
concentrated on something that only he could
see moved by a nervous impulse. I

80
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:15.199
approached the leprechaun and cautiously turned his
head to the left, trying somehow to

81
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:21.240
break that intense look that had surprised
me. Despite this brief encounter, I

82
00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:28.160
decided it was time to try to
sleep. Putting the leprechaun back in its

83
00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:32.759
original position, I went to my
room, though with a slight restlessness that

84
00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:39.519
I had not been there before.
The insistent sound of the alarm set me

85
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:44.120
out of a light sleep at six
in the morning, pointing to the beginning

86
00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:48.079
of a new day of work in
haste. I got up, did my

87
00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:54.360
routine, personal toilet morning, and
then went to the kitchen to make some

88
00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:59.839
breakfast before I left. As I
toasted a couple slices of bread and prepared

89
00:07:59.920 --> 00:08:05.040
a quick coffee, my gaze turned
involuntarily towards the furniture, where the goblin

90
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:09.800
rested. To my surprise, I
noticed that his head was back in the

91
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:16.279
original position, looking straight forward as
if he had never touched it. I

92
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:22.560
finished my breakfast in a hurry,
still thinking about the strange behavior of the

93
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:28.600
goblin. No more time to reflect
on what happened. I left home on

94
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:33.519
my way to work, leaving behind
the mystery of the leprechaun' s gaze,

95
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:37.679
though with the feeling that something unusual
was happening in my home. As

96
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:43.320
the days passed. My curiosity and
concern about the strange movements of the leprechaun

97
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:50.720
intensified considerably every time I returned home
after a long day of work. The

98
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:54.840
uncertainty about what I could find when
I came in was taking over me.

99
00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:01.000
One afternoon, when I was exhausted, I found my mother in the room

100
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:05.960
completely absorbed in a news program.
His focus on television seemed unshakable, but

101
00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:13.559
I needed to clarify my doubts about
the leprechaun. Taking advantage of the fact

102
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:18.360
that my mother seemed a little distracted, I decided to ask her directly if

103
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:24.960
she had moved the statuette of the
leprechaun during the morning, perhaps without realizing

104
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:26.440
it or for some reason she was
unaware of it. My mother looked at

105
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:31.480
me with surprise and denied having touched
the leprechaun. In addition, he added

106
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:37.200
that that particular day, he had
risen quite late at around eight in the

107
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:43.600
morning, which coincided with my departure
to work. This revelation gave me a

108
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:48.639
chill. If my mother hadn'
t moved the leprechaun, who or what

109
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:52.879
had. The idea that an inanimate
object could move on its own disturbed me

110
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:58.159
deeply. For a moment I thought
of sharing my fears with someone else,

111
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:05.799
but then I decided to keep my
suspicions secret, fearing that they might think

112
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:11.759
I was losing my sanity in search
of some solution and perhaps a little peace

113
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:16.399
of mind. I came up with
the idea of visiting the local church to

114
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:22.799
get holy water, a symbol of
spiritual protection I hoped could help in this

115
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:28.960
unusual situation. With holy water in
hand, I set up a small nocturnal

116
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:33.320
ritual. Before I went to sleep, I carefully sprinkled the goblin with water,

117
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:39.200
hoping that this act could somehow protect
my home and my family from any

118
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:46.960
strange influence or energy that might be
present. Surprisingly, after starting with this

119
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:52.919
ritual, no more inexplicable incidents were
recorded. The goblin remained motionless and everything

120
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:58.279
seemed to return to normal. However, the mystery still enveloped our house every

121
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:07.240
morning. When he woke up what
he first did was to verify the leprechaun

122
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:11.759
' s position. My eyes were
looking for any signs of movement that might

123
00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:16.120
have occurred during the night. As
the days passed, my interest and fascination

124
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:22.919
with the leprechaun' s behavior in
our home grew exponentially almost like a natural

125
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:28.559
phenomenon in which a simple curiosity becomes
an obsession. I chose to keep my

126
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:33.320
visits to the local church secret and
the fact that I had started using holy

127
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:39.399
water in the goblin. I didn' t want to worry my mother or

128
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:43.159
give her reason to think something wasn' t right. Also, explaining that

129
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:48.000
he felt the need to spray an
inanimate object with holy water in an attempt

130
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:54.600
to stop his mysterious movement might sound
too extravagant, almost as if he was

131
00:11:54.720 --> 00:12:01.080
losing his mind. One afternoon after
a particularly long and tired day at work,

132
00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:07.480
I came home and immediately felt something
was different. As I entered,

133
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:11.279
I noticed an alteration in the environment, a kind of tension in the air

134
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:16.159
that had not been present before.
I walked into the living room, where

135
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:20.039
we always left the goblin on a
piece of furniture and took a surprise.

136
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:24.720
The goblin was not in its usual
place looking towards the wall but now his

137
00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:33.000
face was facing the window. This
unexpected alteration in the leprechaun' s position

138
00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:37.240
increased my bewilderment and concern. The
feeling of strangeness was so intense that I

139
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:43.480
stood there for a moment trying to
process the change. The following nights,

140
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:48.840
the atmosphere at home became more tense
and full of anxiety. Every shadow and

141
00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:54.200
every small noise seemed to suggest that
the Goblin might be coming alive in the

142
00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:58.960
darkness moving on its own. While
we were all asleep. Determined to go

143
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:03.720
find some logical explanation or at least
some hint of what was happening, I

144
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:11.440
began to keep a very detailed diary
about the goblin. He meticulously noted every

145
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:16.919
change in his position, date,
exact time, and any other relevant observation

146
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:22.840
that might help unravel this mystery.
This diary became a crucial part of my

147
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:28.200
daily routine, an effort to document
and perhaps understand the strange events that were

148
00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:33.320
happening before our eyes. Despite my
efforts to keep an exhaustive record and seek

149
00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:41.120
explanations, life was going on in
other ways. However, the presence of

150
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:46.840
the mystery continued as a shadow hanging
over us, constantly reminding me that there

151
00:13:46.919 --> 00:14:00.879
are phenomena in this world that are
simply beyond our capacity for understanding. Second

152
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:09.879
testimony. During the recent school holidays
we decided that it would be a good

153
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:13.200
idea to spend those days off at
my sister' s house, located in

154
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:18.919
a rural area. The property surrounded
by extensive green fields and a peaceful atmosphere

155
00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:26.039
seemed the perfect place to disconnect and
enjoy quality family time. Our days were

156
00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:31.399
filled with long walks through those fields
and at night we enjoyed outdoor dinners under

157
00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:39.519
a sky full of stars, all
accompanied by conversations and laughter. One night,

158
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:43.519
when everyone was already retired in their
rooms, my niece' s sobs

159
00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:48.960
began to resound down the halls of
the house. Intrigued and somewhat concerned,

160
00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:54.200
I headed to his room to find
out what was going on. Upon arriving

161
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:58.840
I found her crying in her bed, but when she asked what was wrong

162
00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:01.759
with her, she plunged silently,
as if she could not or did not

163
00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:05.279
want to talk about what was afflicting
her. This situation led me to talk

164
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:11.799
to my sister about what happened.
She with concern explained to me that her

165
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:16.759
daughter had the strange habit of crying
inexplicably every time she tried to talk to

166
00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:24.000
her about these situations. My niece
was completely shutting down and avoiding any conversation

167
00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:31.080
about it. Despite this, the
days continued to pass normally and the date

168
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:37.480
of return to our house was approaching. But then another night it was my

169
00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:41.480
own daughter who cried late in the
alarmed night. I left my room and

170
00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:46.320
walked through the dark hallways of the
house until I reached the backyard place,

171
00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:54.879
where I finally found my daughter sitting
alone crying in silence. As I approached

172
00:15:54.960 --> 00:16:00.759
him and asked him what was happening
to him in between sobs, he confessed

173
00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:03.279
to me that he no longer wanted
to participate in a game he had been

174
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:07.279
playing with the other children. The
situation became even more disconcerting when, according

175
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:12.320
to her, a child that I
could not see and seemed invisible to me.

176
00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:19.720
I had warned him in a threatening
manner that he should continue to play

177
00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:22.840
or face serious consequences. Surrounded by
the confusion and mystery of the situation,

178
00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:29.759
I was paralyzed, unable to make
sense of what my daughter had just told

179
00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:36.519
me. In the hope that my
sister and her daughter could tell me something

180
00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:41.720
about it, I waited for them. Upon arriving I quickly asked them if

181
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:45.399
I had seen any children, but
my sister' s response only caused more

182
00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:52.120
confusion. She confirmed to me that
we were quite far away from any urban

183
00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:56.159
center and that the nearest house was
about ten minutes on foot and assured me

184
00:16:56.279 --> 00:17:03.600
that in that direction not only one
lady lived children. The mystery intensified when

185
00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:07.279
my sister' s daughter began to
tell her mother, who had also felt

186
00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:12.359
the presence of this invisible boy,
who, according to her experience, threatened

187
00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:18.359
with punishment if she did not keep
playing with him. She described how this

188
00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:25.000
enigmatic child had the ability to disappear
among the trees, as long as some

189
00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:30.440
adult approached, adding a layer of
the supernatural to the matter just then,

190
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:36.039
the sound of fast and strong steps
was heard as if someone were running into

191
00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:41.160
the nearby forest. My sister and
I ran towards the direction of the steps

192
00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:48.359
driven by the possibility of catching this
visitor. We arrived together at the edge

193
00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:56.359
of the forest and stopped to observe
in front of us was spreading a vast

194
00:17:56.680 --> 00:18:00.240
plain completely clear and with no place
where a child could hide quickly. It

195
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:06.640
was illogical to think that someone,
especially a child, could have traveled such

196
00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:08.759
a distance in such a short time
without being seen. The idea that someone

197
00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:15.960
could move so quickly through such an
open space seemed to be drawn from a

198
00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:22.119
fantastic story. Beyond any logical explanation, we stood there looking at the plain

199
00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:26.720
illuminated by the moon, finding no
trace of the so- called child.

200
00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:33.000
Returning to the security of the house, my sister' s niece began to

201
00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:37.640
tell more about the strange appearances of
the invisible being who had disturbed her tranquility.

202
00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:44.240
With a trembling but clear voice,
she described how this being suddenly appeared

203
00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:49.599
right in front of her, being
smaller than her and apparently materializing out of

204
00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:56.400
nowhere. The intrigue of all increased
by hearing how this being instantly faded away

205
00:18:56.079 --> 00:19:02.519
as if it were capable of disappearing
by sea art, especially when someone suddenly

206
00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:08.039
approached. Sometimes without even having the
opportunity to hide among the nearby trees,

207
00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:17.359
the girl continued to reveal even more
surprising and disturbing details. This invisible being

208
00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:22.920
often invited her to follow him,
promising to take him to a secret place

209
00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:29.240
that he described as full of toys
of all colors, something that any girl

210
00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:36.839
might find tempting and wonderful. However, she was cautious, responding to the

211
00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:41.640
invitations of the being. With caution
he insisted that he needed permission from his

212
00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:48.920
mother before he could venture anywhere with
someone unknown, especially with a being he

213
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:55.920
could not see. Everything took an
even more gloomy turn when the girl mentioned

214
00:19:56.200 --> 00:20:00.000
as on one occasion by refusing to
follow her being to that mysterious place,

215
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:06.359
she felt her arm squeezed hard.
At that time, the girl was forced

216
00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:12.599
to give in by an invisible force
that surpassed her. This incident sparked their

217
00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:18.839
weeping and despair. My sister'
s concern about the situation facing her daughter

218
00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:23.559
was very great. After hearing her
daughter' s accounts of being invisible,

219
00:20:25.079 --> 00:20:29.759
a chill swept through her body and
the idea that this was not a simple

220
00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:36.240
trick or childish imagination, but something
more sinister. It began to take shape

221
00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:40.519
in his mind. The possibility that
it was a malevolent entity was deeply troubling

222
00:20:40.599 --> 00:20:48.359
her as we tried to digest these
disturbing details. About an hour after this

223
00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:53.279
conversation a neighbor arrived from the area. Seeing my sister’ s state of

224
00:20:53.319 --> 00:21:00.000
turmoil, the neighbor was quickly informed
about the strange events that the little girl

225
00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:04.720
had experienced. The neighbor, hearing
the description of the being, revealed that

226
00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:10.559
the being described by the child was
a goblin. According to her, these

227
00:21:10.599 --> 00:21:15.680
beings were not common goblins, but
mythical creatures known in local culture for their

228
00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:19.640
interaction with children, often taking them
to hidden places and playing with them.

229
00:21:21.839 --> 00:21:27.720
However, he warned that, while
some goblins are unrelatively harmless playful looking for

230
00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:34.759
only companionship and fun, others may
have darker motivations. This information left everyone

231
00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:41.039
even more intrigued and concerned. The
neighbor, unable to contain her curiosity and

232
00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:47.279
concern, then asked a question that
no one expected. She asked if the

233
00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:52.319
child had been baptized. The connection
he made between baptism and the presence of

234
00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:56.240
the leprechaun puzzled my sister, who
admitted that her daughter had not yet received

235
00:21:56.359 --> 00:22:03.680
the sacrament of baptism. Of this
confession, the neighbor showed even more obvious

236
00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:10.200
concern. He insisted that it was
crucial to take measures of spiritual protections,

237
00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:15.440
suggesting that holy water be sprinkled on
the girl. He explained that, according

238
00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:21.359
to local beliefs and traditions, holy
water could offer a form of protection against

239
00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:25.359
beings like the goblin, which could
try to take the girl away if proper

240
00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:32.200
precautions were not taken. Following suggestions
from the neighbor, my sister decided to

241
00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:37.640
take additional steps to protect her daughter
from the presence of the leprechaun. In

242
00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:42.079
an effort to strengthen the safety of
his home, he chose to bring home

243
00:22:42.440 --> 00:22:48.279
two large dogs. The idea was
that the presence of these robust animals would

244
00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:55.799
deter any attempt at rapprochement by unwanted
entities. The first night after the arrival

245
00:22:55.920 --> 00:23:00.519
of the dogs, it passed remarkably
calm. The girl managed to sleep all

246
00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:06.480
night without interruption a welcome change.
After the disturbing events of the previous days,

247
00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:11.839
it seemed that the imposing and protective
attitude of the dogs had had the

248
00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:18.000
desired effect, keeping the goblin at
bay and allowing peace to reign in the

249
00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:22.920
house. However, despite the apparent
calm, the atmosphere in the house was

250
00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:29.160
still filled with palpable tension. With
every passing day, the nocturnal sounds seemed

251
00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:36.160
more intense and threatening and the shadows
became bigger and darker. Although the dogs

252
00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:41.720
were always vigilant, the restlessness kept
floating in the air, making every corner

253
00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:48.480
of the house look darker. Then
came the night, that would change things

254
00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:53.400
forever in the middle of darkness.
My sister' s daughter suddenly woke up

255
00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:59.680
her eyes wide open and reflecting a
pure terror, something had pulled her out

256
00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:04.000
of her deep sleep, something so
disturbing that she couldn' t even put

257
00:24:04.119 --> 00:24:08.400
her into words. My sister,
alarmed by her daughter' s screams,

258
00:24:10.039 --> 00:24:14.759
ran to her room and quickly lit
the light hoping to calm her down.

259
00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:18.640
But what they saw next was something
they didn' t expect. In the

260
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:23.440
corner of the room, almost mixing
with the shadows, was the figure of

261
00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:29.920
the invisible being. This appearance,
far from resembling a playful child, had

262
00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:34.519
a more sinister and threatening air.
However, before they could react or say

263
00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:40.839
anything, the figure dissolved into darkness, fading away as if it were made

264
00:24:40.920 --> 00:24:56.000
of smoke. Third testimony. Several
years ago, when my son was about

265
00:24:56.119 --> 00:25:00.599
ten years old, he found a
great passion in arming and playing with his

266
00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:07.279
laymen. During those hours of concentration
and creativity, I noticed something peculiar that

267
00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:11.920
captured my attention every time I dived
deep into their world of colored blocks.

268
00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:18.920
He began to let go of spontaneous
laughter as if something or someone had great

269
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:23.720
fun. Besides, I started talking
to myself like I was having a conversation

270
00:25:23.839 --> 00:25:27.680
with a friend I couldn' t
see. At first. I assumed it

271
00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:34.160
was simply the manifestation of an imaginary
companion, a fairly normal part of child

272
00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:38.480
development, so I decided not to
interfere and let him enjoy his free and

273
00:25:38.559 --> 00:25:44.559
creative time of play. However,
there was an aspect of game successions that

274
00:25:44.759 --> 00:25:49.240
could not overlook so easily the mess
every time I finished playing, the small

275
00:25:49.359 --> 00:25:56.640
pieces of ego were scattered all over
the floor of his room. This chaos

276
00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:00.880
not only disrupted space, but also
led to the loss of some important pieces,

277
00:26:02.359 --> 00:26:07.279
which forced me to intervene from time
to time. I had to rebuke

278
00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:14.079
my son by trying to instill in
him the importance of order and responsibility in

279
00:26:14.119 --> 00:26:17.759
the handling of his toys. One
day that, in appearance, began like

280
00:26:17.799 --> 00:26:22.720
any other, my son plunged back
into building and designing with his laymen.

281
00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:29.960
This session seemed the same as before, but it would soon be revealed that

282
00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:34.119
something unusual was about to happen.
After several hours of play, My son

283
00:26:34.240 --> 00:26:41.119
left his room full of energy and
with a big smile ready to go to

284
00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:45.640
play football with his friends on the
street. Before he left, I decided

285
00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:51.440
to take a look at his room, waiting for the usual mess of layman

286
00:26:51.599 --> 00:26:56.799
' s pieces everywhere and, indeed, the chaos was evident. The pieces

287
00:26:56.000 --> 00:27:02.119
were scattered on the ground in a
disorderly manner. However, before I let

288
00:27:02.119 --> 00:27:07.839
him go I felt the need to
reaffirm the importance of maintaining his orderly space

289
00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:11.640
and being responsible with his belongings.
Having been clear with my son that he

290
00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:17.799
should order his toys before he went
out to play, his reaction was immediate.

291
00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:25.279
Although he was visibly disillusioned by the
delay in his plans, he took

292
00:27:25.920 --> 00:27:33.039
responsibility That' s when he surprisingly
mentioned someone named John according to him,

293
00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:36.480
this mysterious friend would take care of
helping him sort the laymen out. The

294
00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:41.039
mention of one John left me completely
bewildered. All this time. I'

295
00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:45.359
ve never heard of him before.
My son had never mentioned this supposed friend

296
00:27:45.440 --> 00:27:52.480
during our daily conversations. Moved by
an impulse of curiosity and some concern,

297
00:27:52.279 --> 00:27:59.079
I asked him directly who John was
and where he had met him. With

298
00:27:59.160 --> 00:28:03.640
total naturalness, my son explained to
me that Juan was his usual playmate,

299
00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:08.160
while he was building with the laymen, a statement that left me even more

300
00:28:08.160 --> 00:28:15.279
surprised. Feeling somewhat skeptical about the
existence of this invisible friend. I reminded

301
00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:18.799
my son that I had always seen
him playing alone in his room and that

302
00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:23.160
I had never observed any signs of
another child’ s presence. However,

303
00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:29.519
my son, with a conviction that
impressed me, insisted that John was real

304
00:28:29.680 --> 00:28:34.160
and was determined to show that his
invisible friend would help him with the task

305
00:28:34.279 --> 00:28:40.519
of ordering. With the doubt he
agreed to enter his room to verify the

306
00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:47.039
result. The surprise I took in
was monumental. What used to be a

307
00:28:47.079 --> 00:28:52.920
chaos of legus pieces scattered all over
the ground had been completely transformed. The

308
00:28:52.960 --> 00:29:00.279
room was impeccable with each toy meticulously
placed in its corresponding place. The rapacity

309
00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:06.039
and effectiveness with which the order had
been restored was disconcerting and challenged any logical

310
00:29:06.079 --> 00:29:11.440
explanation it might have. The room
was not only tidy, but it looked

311
00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:17.519
so organized that it looked like it
was taken out of a decorating magazine,

312
00:29:17.880 --> 00:29:22.119
something that left me confused and questioning
how such a radical change had been possible

313
00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:26.480
in such a short time. My
son' s revelation and the impeccable condition

314
00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:30.640
of his room plunged me into a
sea of doubt. My son spoke of

315
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:36.720
John with a certainty and conviction that
struck me. According to him, John

316
00:29:36.720 --> 00:29:41.480
was not only a product of his
imagination, but a friend as real as

317
00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:45.200
any other child he played with.
Often. This certainty in his voice and

318
00:29:45.240 --> 00:29:49.920
his way of speaking about John created
an intriguing contrast with the reality I observed,

319
00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:56.119
where I only saw my son playing
only decided to go a little deeper

320
00:29:56.160 --> 00:30:00.759
into the subject, asking him to
tell me more about this enigmatic friend.

321
00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:08.079
What my son revealed next only added
more layers to this mystery. According to

322
00:30:08.079 --> 00:30:12.279
him, John was not an ordinary
child, but a dwarf, a being

323
00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:18.720
from another world who only appeared when
they were alone. Also, there was

324
00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:25.160
something even more peculiar about John.
He had the ability to fade instantly whenever

325
00:30:25.240 --> 00:30:30.400
an adult entered the room. This, according to my son, was a

326
00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:36.039
special trick John used to keep invisible
to the eyes of the elders. My

327
00:30:36.119 --> 00:30:40.920
son, looking at me seriously,
told me to keep the secret about John

328
00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:45.799
' s existence. My efforts to
apply logic and reasoning to John' s

329
00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:52.960
riddle seemed useless in the face of
the persistent atmosphere of mystery involving the existence

330
00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:57.799
of this imaginary friend. Although part
of me wanted to continue researching and unraveling

331
00:30:57.839 --> 00:31:03.920
the truth behind my son' s
one affirmations, I decided it was better

332
00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:10.240
not to inquire more I respected the
special relationship he seemed to have with John,

333
00:31:10.680 --> 00:31:15.839
thinking that keeping a certain distance was
the most appropriate thing to preserve his

334
00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:18.200
personal space and his childish world.
However, curiosity was still buzzing in my

335
00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:23.920
mind like a persistent fly and although
I had decided not to press any further

336
00:31:23.920 --> 00:31:27.759
on it, I could not deny
that the subject continued to intrigue me.

337
00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:34.240
To manage this situation and reassure both
my child and myself, I made some

338
00:31:34.799 --> 00:31:41.799
practical decisions regarding their environment. In
an attempt to refresh the atmosphere and perhaps

339
00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:47.839
alter the dynamics of recent events,
I decided to change my son' s

340
00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:52.319
room from the place. I moved
all your furniture and toys to another room

341
00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:57.720
in the house, seeking to provide
you with a new environment that might positively

342
00:31:57.720 --> 00:32:04.640
influence the situation. The change was
not limited to a simple transfer. I

343
00:32:04.839 --> 00:32:09.440
also redesigned the space to make it
more welcoming and safer. In addition to

344
00:32:09.559 --> 00:32:15.279
adding an extra layer of safety and
company, I asked my sister to bring

345
00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:19.920
her dog for a few days.
The idea was that the presence of the

346
00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:24.319
dog not only offered company and tranquility
to my son, but also served as

347
00:32:24.440 --> 00:32:30.920
a deterrent to any unwanted, real
or imagined presence. My son' s

348
00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:37.559
response to the dog' s presence
was positive and seemed to feel more secure

349
00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:42.200
and contained with the animal at his
side. With the implementation of these changes

350
00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:46.759
I noticed a subtle transformation in the
dynamics of our home. The new room,

351
00:32:47.079 --> 00:32:52.160
along with the presence of the dog, seemed to establish a new level

352
00:32:52.200 --> 00:32:57.880
of peace and security. My son
continued to play and talk to John as

353
00:32:58.000 --> 00:33:04.519
if nothing had changed, bruting his
interactions in this renewed space. Although the

354
00:33:04.559 --> 00:33:08.680
mystery of John was not solved,
life at home stabilized and tranquility returned to

355
00:33:08.759 --> 00:33:22.400
our home. Tale written and adapted
