00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:08.839
Hey. My name is Damian and
what I am going to tell you next
2
00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:13.519
I do so in the hope that
my story will not be repeated, hoping
3
00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:19.160
that whoever hears it will not make
the same mistakes that I made. I
4
00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:24.199
remember that night as if it were
yesterday, although many years have passed since
5
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:29.000
then, it was Halloween day,
a date that my friends and I looked
6
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:34.600
forward to every year, as it
was our favorite holiday. That year was
7
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:38.520
the last time I had that party. I was 15 years old. Back
8
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:43.479
then I lived with my parents and
my younger brother. Eleven- year-
9
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:47.759
old Dante. Our parents were the
kind of people who believed money was everything,
10
00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:53.759
so they spent most of the day
working. They used to leave the
11
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:57.920
house at seven in the morning and
didn' t come back until after ten
12
00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:00.960
in the evening. That left me
with the one responsible for taking care of
13
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:07.879
my younger brother. I can'
t deny that it was an overwhelming responsibility
14
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:15.000
for a teenager, especially because my
parents seemed to trust me too much and
15
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:18.439
didn' t seem to worry about
anything but the financial part. I was
16
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:23.560
in charge of waking Dante up to
school. I made sure he did his
17
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:29.840
homework and sometimes even attended his school
meetings. Instead, all that while trying
18
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:34.799
to keep me up to date with
my own studies and responsibilities. The relationship
19
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:40.359
with my brother was complicated. I
can' t blame him for anything he
20
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:45.680
lived through back then, but at
the time he felt a certain resentment towards
21
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:49.439
him. It wasn' t fair
to him I know it now that I
22
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:52.680
' m older, but at the
time I couldn' t help it.
23
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:57.680
On Halloween day, my friends had
been talking for days about a party that
24
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:02.920
would take place on an abandoned property. The property was owned by the father
25
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:07.879
of one of my friends and the
idea of a party in an abandoned house
26
00:02:07.960 --> 00:02:12.479
excited us all. I knew I
couldn' t leave you alone at home.
27
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:15.840
Our neighborhood wasn' t the safest
and if anything happened to it,
28
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:22.439
I was sure my parents would go
crazy. That' s when I came
29
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:25.080
up with the idea of taking him
to the party with me. After all,
30
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:30.840
Dante was a quiet kid and he
used to be easily entertained with my
31
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:37.319
phone. I could stay in a
corner while I was having fun with my
32
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:43.360
friends and we could come back before
our parents got home. Everything seemed pretty
33
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:46.560
simple. I told Dante about the
party and, to my surprise, he
34
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:53.439
agreed. To come with me.
He seemed excited about the idea of being
35
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:59.080
at a Halloween party and that made
me feel a little less guilty about dragging
36
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:04.719
him with l We prepared for the
party and after making sure we had everything
37
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:09.120
necessary, we headed for the abandoned
property. I remember taking a while to
38
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:15.879
find the property, but when we
did, my friends were already there laughing
39
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:21.039
and joking. As they prepared to
enter the house. Dante was holding on
40
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:27.759
to my hand hard. I noticed
he was scared, but I tried to
41
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:30.439
reassure him by telling him everything would
be fine. We explored the house for
42
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:38.039
a while laughing and joking as we
frightened each other with ghost stories and apparitions.
43
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:44.240
Dante kept close to me. At
all times this faked courage, but
44
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:50.159
I knew I was scared to death
inside. We finally stayed in one of
45
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:54.560
the rooms and set out to just
have a good time. Time passed and
46
00:03:54.879 --> 00:04:00.840
everything seemed fine. Even dante seemed
to be having a little fun. My
47
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:05.879
peace of mind faded when one of
the guests pulled a daughter board out of
48
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:12.479
his backpack, suggesting that things might
become more interesting. All those present at
49
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:17.319
the party began to support the idea
eager to experiment with the board, although
50
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:21.279
I did not often be very believers
in those things. I' ve always
51
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:25.639
had a little respect for them.
Besides, when I looked at Dante,
52
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:29.839
I could see the fear reflected in
his eyes. I wasn' t sure
53
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:34.399
I wanted to participate, but I
didn' t want to look like a
54
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:36.040
coward in front of my friends either, so I decided to play along.
55
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:43.959
The other boys turned off the lamps
they had lit to be there, leaving
56
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:47.240
us alone under the faint light of
the candles they lit to give more atmosphere
57
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:53.800
to the game. We started playing
by asking questions to the board, which
58
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:58.360
only seemed to give vague answers.
At first, it all seemed like a
59
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:02.759
lie. I was sure that the
boy holding the pointer was moving him to
60
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:10.279
play a joke on everyone, but
then the temperature began to drop abruptly and
61
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:15.000
the pointer on the board began to
move disturbingly, repeating the word over and
62
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:20.839
over again. Only the candlelights began
to move strangely and a gust of cold
63
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:27.480
wind passed through the room, freezing
our bones and sending chills down our spine.
64
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:35.920
A cry that seemed agony was heard
and everyone present at the party ran
65
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:43.160
out in panic. I grabbed the
hand of dante and tried to keep him
66
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:47.839
close as we ran into the crowd
of terrified boys, but in a moment
67
00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:51.120
I let him go and lost sight. The darkness was so dense that I
68
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:57.560
could see nothing beyond a few meters
in front of me. I wanted to
69
00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:00.839
believe he was still running with the
group, but I couldn' t be
70
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:06.040
sure. Finally, when we got
off the property, I realized Dante wasn
71
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:12.279
' t among us. The heart. It sank into my chest as I
72
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:18.759
realized it was gone. I knew
I should go back inside and look for
73
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:23.800
him, but none of the other
boys were willing to go back into that
74
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:29.480
house. My supposed friends began to
disperse to return home, leaving me alone
75
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:34.079
for a moment I felt paralyzed by
fear, but the instinct to protect my
76
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:39.959
brother made me overcome it and I
knew that I had no choice but to
77
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:45.879
go back inside and find him cost
what the cold, wet air cost me
78
00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:49.519
to face. When I went back
into the house. The darkness was overwhelming.
79
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:55.600
Wrapping me up like a cold,
thick blanket, I didn' t
80
00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:59.319
remember the house feeling that way.
The first time I entered I was cautiously
81
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:03.600
advancing through the dark corridors, calling
my brother again and again the echo of
82
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:10.079
my words resounded, but there was
no response from my brother. I felt
83
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:14.600
a knot in my throat as I
walked through every room and hallway. My
84
00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:19.639
steps resounded on the floor, creating
a rather gloomy echo. I kept calling
85
00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:27.800
my brother desperately waiting to hear his
answer in the dark. Then a deafening
86
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:32.720
noise broke the silence, causing my
heart to stop in the chest. The
87
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:38.319
sound of metals falling to the ground, resonated around me, filling the air
88
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:43.439
with a sense of danger. Fear
took hold of me, but the idea
89
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:47.199
that that noise might have been caused
by my brother prompted me to move on.
90
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:54.399
I moved on to where the noise
had come and there, squatting,
91
00:07:55.040 --> 00:08:00.600
I found my brother trembling and frightened
a relief. He invaded me when I
92
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:03.600
saw him and ran towards him,
taking him by the shoulder with trembling hands.
93
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:07.319
I asked him to stand up to
get out of that place. I
94
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:13.519
questioned him if he was okay,
but he seemed so scared that he didn
95
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:16.680
' t utter a single word.
He got up slowly and I took his
96
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:22.439
hand to get him to the exit. In doing so, I noticed his
97
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:26.279
hand was frozen. It was as
if it had been submerged in cold water
98
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:31.839
for hours. I attributed the feeling
of cold to the freezing temperature of the
99
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:35.240
room. I decided not to pay
much attention to him at the time.
100
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:39.600
I knew we had to get out
of there before our parents came home,
101
00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:45.600
so I squeezed your hand hard and
led him out in hopes of leaving that
102
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:54.320
nightmare behind. Finally we arrived home, where we received the light from the
103
00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:58.919
living room. My parents had not
yet returned, which meant that we had
104
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:05.080
time to recover before they arrived.
I made them sit on the couch and
105
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:11.320
made them a cup of hot tea
trying to warm their frozen hands, while
106
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:16.519
he stayed in the seat, lost
in his own thoughts. I sat next
107
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:20.320
to him, feeling the weight of
the world on my shoulders, remembering the
108
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:26.240
terrible things we had witnessed in that
house. I explained to Dante that our
109
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:31.399
parents could never find out what we
had experienced that night. He had always
110
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:37.080
been a quiet child, but at
that time he seemed completely out of himself.
111
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:41.759
He still said he wouldn' t
say anything that relieved me a little.
112
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:46.840
With that of course, between us, we' re both going to
113
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:52.559
sleep. After dinner in the middle
of the morning, I woke up feeling
114
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:56.399
that someone was watching the light from
the street posts leaking out the window.
115
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:01.120
It allowed me to see you at
the foot of my bed. He was
116
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:07.000
dressed in his pajamas and seemed to
stare at me. That puzzled me,
117
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:11.840
since it wasn' t something he
used to do. I asked him what
118
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:15.679
was wrong with him, but he
simply replied that he was very afraid.
119
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:20.080
I fully understood the reason for your
fear. After all, I was a
120
00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:24.480
little scared, too, so I
let him get into bed with me.
121
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:30.080
I tried to fall asleep again,
but one of my hands touched the dante
122
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:35.360
that was as cold as ice.
That alerted me and asked him if he
123
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:41.080
was feeling well, but again I
did not get an answer. I got
124
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:45.399
up a little bit to look at
the best and that' s when I
125
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:50.200
saw her eyes open, but they
seemed to be completely black and her face
126
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:54.639
seemed strange. That made me immediately
rise from bed screaming and calling my parents
127
00:10:54.679 --> 00:11:01.600
who, for my fortune, were
already at home. They came to see
128
00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:05.600
what was happening and when my father
lit the light, I could see dante,
129
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:09.559
looking at me with his perfectly normal
eyes and face. My parents asked
130
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:15.320
me what was going on and I
lied to them saying I had had a
131
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:20.399
nightmare. After all, I thought
I might have seen bad because of the
132
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:26.039
little light, although a part of
me felt uneasy about that explanation, the
133
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:30.559
feeling of having seen my brother'
s black eyes and his strange face continued
134
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:35.399
to disturb me and fill me with
a deep concern that I could not ignore.
135
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:41.480
We went to bed again, but
this time I couldn' t get
136
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:46.039
Dante' s image back to sleep
with his black eyes and his strange face
137
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:52.799
had been etched in my mind chasing
me into my thoughts, I couldn'
138
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:58.000
t shake the feeling that something strange
had happened as the days passed. I
139
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:03.200
tried to forget what I had seen
to convince myself that everything had been the
140
00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:07.200
product of my imagination. But every
time I looked at Dante, I couldn
141
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:11.240
' t help but feel a chill
running around my back. I couldn'
142
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:18.120
t explain the reason, only that
his presence alone made me feel a mixture
143
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:24.000
of nervousness and fear. I could
notice that my brother had changed a lot,
144
00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:26.799
he was no longer the same child, shy and loving he used to
145
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:33.320
be. He was passing now just
staring into nothingness, as if he were
146
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:37.600
lost in his own thoughts. Many
times when he thought he did not listen
147
00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:45.600
to him, he seemed to begin
to speak alone, murmuring incomprehensible words in
148
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:48.320
a low, chilling tone. All
that, along with the fact that since
149
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:54.519
that Halloween party day, Dante never
seemed to have a normal temperature. It
150
00:12:54.759 --> 00:13:01.559
was always cold as if it was
frozen inside. I tried to talk to
151
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:07.360
my parents about my concerns, but
they just said that he was growing up
152
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:11.279
and that it was normal to notice
changes in his behavior. Something wasn'
153
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:15.759
t right for me. There was
something about the way Dante behaved, the
154
00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:22.120
way he seemed to be losing contact
with reality every day. I was worried
155
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:26.600
about him if all that wasn'
t enough. Neighbors' pets began to
156
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:35.879
mysteriously disappear. At first it did
not seem relevant, only a curious fact
157
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:39.440
that did not attract much attention.
But one day, while I was keeping
158
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:45.480
Dante' s clothes, I found
something that made me stop dry between his
159
00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:52.000
things. I found several collars of
dogs some even seemed to have reddish spots,
160
00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:56.240
it was as if I was keeping
them as trophies, as if they
161
00:13:56.279 --> 00:14:00.679
were memories of something I had done. I trembled at what that might mean,
162
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:07.799
what my brother might be doing.
I didn' t want to believe
163
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:11.840
Dante would be able to hurt the
animals, but he couldn' t ignore
164
00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:15.519
the evidence in front of me.
I had tried to talk to my parents,
165
00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:18.600
but they didn' t believe me. Now I was facing a difficult
166
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:24.519
decision between a confrontation or continuing in
denial. Part of me wanted to face
167
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:31.840
Dante directly, confront him about his
strange behaviors and the disturbing evidence he had
168
00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:37.639
found, but another part of me
was afraid that it would only make things
169
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:43.759
worse that could keep him further away
from me I decided that I needed to
170
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:46.360
better understand what was going on with
him. Before I took any drastic action,
171
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:50.120
I began to observe as closely as
possible, trying to understand what was
172
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:54.840
disturbing him so much and that he
was leading him to behave. That way,
173
00:14:54.240 --> 00:15:00.960
I noticed that he spent a lot
of time alone in his room,
174
00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:05.000
often with the door locked and not
wanting to be disturbed. Sometimes I heard
175
00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:11.440
him whispering incomprehensible words, as if
he was talking to himself or someone I
176
00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:16.200
couldn' t see. I also
noticed that it avoided physical contact, as
177
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:20.879
if it was preventing someone from touching
it. His hands were always cold,
178
00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:26.000
even on the warmest days, and
he seemed hostile to the idea of letting
179
00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:31.200
someone get too close. I felt
helpless in the face of the situation.
180
00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:37.799
I didn' t know how to
get close to him or how to talk
181
00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:43.600
to him I was thinking about how
to make him understand that he was there
182
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:48.120
to help him, and I was
wondering if I should look for professional help,
183
00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:48.120
talk to a therapist or a doctor
who could understand what was going on
184
00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:52.960
with him. But before I could
make a decision, life took it for
185
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:58.879
me. One night while I was
asleep in my room, I was awakened
186
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:03.600
by a noise coming from Dante'
s room. This was a soft sound,
187
00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:10.480
but persistent as a whisper. I
got out of bed and approached his
188
00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:15.759
door with my heart beating hard.
When I opened the door, I came
189
00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:19.960
across a scene that left me breathless. Dante was sitting in the middle of
190
00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:26.399
the room staring at the wall with
empty eyes and an inexpressive face, he
191
00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:33.399
seemed to repeat the same words again
and again I tried to understand what he
192
00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:37.639
was saying. He seemed to be
speaking in a language, which he was
193
00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:41.639
completely unaware of. I knew I
couldn' t stand by. I had
194
00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:45.039
to do something to help my brother. I approached him to move him out
195
00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:52.039
of that trance state. In doing
so, he stopped talking to stare at
196
00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:56.799
me. I could see the fury
in his gaze I didn' t know
197
00:16:56.799 --> 00:16:59.480
how to react to it. It
was definitely something I wasn' t prepared
198
00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:04.279
for, so I just let it
go and went to my room remembering all
199
00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:10.759
that. I wish I had acted
better. Two nights later, while sleeping
200
00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:18.319
deeply, I felt a presence watching
me slowly opened my eyes and saw my
201
00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:22.759
brother standing at the foot of my
bed with his pajamas barely visible in the
202
00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:26.599
dark. I called him several times
asking him what was wrong with him,
203
00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:30.319
but I didn' t get any
answers. I felt a knot of fear
204
00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:36.200
twisting in my stomach. While I
was wondering what was going on with him
205
00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:41.759
I temptfully reached my phone and lit
it by lighting up the room. What
206
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:45.880
I saw filled me with horror.
My brother' s face was deformed before
207
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:51.480
my eyes, twisting into a diabolical
and inhuman grimace. He looked at me
208
00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:55.640
with a smile that would freeze my
blood. His eyes shone with an evil
209
00:17:55.720 --> 00:18:00.680
light that left me paralyzed with fear. Before I could react, my brother
210
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:06.400
jumped over me covering my mouth with
his frozen hand, I was surprised how
211
00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:11.559
strong I was and struggled to get
rid of his grip but it was as
212
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:18.200
if I was fighting a supernatural force
in a moment of despair. He whispered
213
00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:22.440
in my ear with a voice that
smelled my blood. I' m not
214
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:26.319
alone anymore. Her breath smelled awful
and before she could do anything else,
215
00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:33.480
she let me go and ran out
of the room. Leaving me trembling with
216
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:37.119
fear, I jumped up and ran
after him, but when I came to
217
00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:41.240
the door I could only see how
he had run to the front door of
218
00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:45.079
the house and walked out of it. He disappeared in the darkness of the
219
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:48.880
street. My parents, alerted by
the sound of the door, opened,
220
00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:56.039
came running towards me wondering what had
happened. I couldn' t contain myself
221
00:18:56.039 --> 00:18:59.599
anymore and told them everything. From
the night of the Halloween party to the
222
00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:04.440
horrifying dwarf I had just had with
my brother. My parents completely ignored the
223
00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:11.119
paranormal part of my story and called
the police to find Dante. But despite
224
00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:15.839
all his efforts, he was never
found. Since then I have lived with
225
00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:19.559
the terror of not knowing what happened
to my brother, of not knowing what
226
00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:25.440
came home with me, since I
am convinced that whatever came back that night
227
00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:33.680
was no longer my brother. A
story written and adapted by Aurora. Escalante
1
00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:08.839
Hey. My name is Damian and
what I am going to tell you next
2
00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:13.519
I do so in the hope that
my story will not be repeated, hoping
3
00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:19.160
that whoever hears it will not make
the same mistakes that I made. I
4
00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:24.199
remember that night as if it were
yesterday, although many years have passed since
5
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:29.000
then, it was Halloween day,
a date that my friends and I looked
6
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:34.600
forward to every year, as it
was our favorite holiday. That year was
7
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:38.520
the last time I had that party. I was 15 years old. Back
8
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:43.479
then I lived with my parents and
my younger brother. Eleven- year-
9
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:47.759
old Dante. Our parents were the
kind of people who believed money was everything,
10
00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:53.759
so they spent most of the day
working. They used to leave the
11
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:57.920
house at seven in the morning and
didn' t come back until after ten
12
00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:00.960
in the evening. That left me
with the one responsible for taking care of
13
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:07.879
my younger brother. I can'
t deny that it was an overwhelming responsibility
14
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:15.000
for a teenager, especially because my
parents seemed to trust me too much and
15
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:18.439
didn' t seem to worry about
anything but the financial part. I was
16
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:23.560
in charge of waking Dante up to
school. I made sure he did his
17
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:29.840
homework and sometimes even attended his school
meetings. Instead, all that while trying
18
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:34.799
to keep me up to date with
my own studies and responsibilities. The relationship
19
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:40.359
with my brother was complicated. I
can' t blame him for anything he
20
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:45.680
lived through back then, but at
the time he felt a certain resentment towards
21
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:49.439
him. It wasn' t fair
to him I know it now that I
22
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:52.680
' m older, but at the
time I couldn' t help it.
23
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:57.680
On Halloween day, my friends had
been talking for days about a party that
24
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:02.920
would take place on an abandoned property. The property was owned by the father
25
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:07.879
of one of my friends and the
idea of a party in an abandoned house
26
00:02:07.960 --> 00:02:12.479
excited us all. I knew I
couldn' t leave you alone at home.
27
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:15.840
Our neighborhood wasn' t the safest
and if anything happened to it,
28
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:22.439
I was sure my parents would go
crazy. That' s when I came
29
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:25.080
up with the idea of taking him
to the party with me. After all,
30
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:30.840
Dante was a quiet kid and he
used to be easily entertained with my
31
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:37.319
phone. I could stay in a
corner while I was having fun with my
32
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:43.360
friends and we could come back before
our parents got home. Everything seemed pretty
33
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:46.560
simple. I told Dante about the
party and, to my surprise, he
34
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:53.439
agreed. To come with me.
He seemed excited about the idea of being
35
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:59.080
at a Halloween party and that made
me feel a little less guilty about dragging
36
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:04.719
him with l We prepared for the
party and after making sure we had everything
37
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:09.120
necessary, we headed for the abandoned
property. I remember taking a while to
38
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:15.879
find the property, but when we
did, my friends were already there laughing
39
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:21.039
and joking. As they prepared to
enter the house. Dante was holding on
40
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:27.759
to my hand hard. I noticed
he was scared, but I tried to
41
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:30.439
reassure him by telling him everything would
be fine. We explored the house for
42
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:38.039
a while laughing and joking as we
frightened each other with ghost stories and apparitions.
43
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:44.240
Dante kept close to me. At
all times this faked courage, but
44
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:50.159
I knew I was scared to death
inside. We finally stayed in one of
45
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:54.560
the rooms and set out to just
have a good time. Time passed and
46
00:03:54.879 --> 00:04:00.840
everything seemed fine. Even dante seemed
to be having a little fun. My
47
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:05.879
peace of mind faded when one of
the guests pulled a daughter board out of
48
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:12.479
his backpack, suggesting that things might
become more interesting. All those present at
49
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:17.319
the party began to support the idea
eager to experiment with the board, although
50
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:21.279
I did not often be very believers
in those things. I' ve always
51
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:25.639
had a little respect for them.
Besides, when I looked at Dante,
52
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:29.839
I could see the fear reflected in
his eyes. I wasn' t sure
53
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:34.399
I wanted to participate, but I
didn' t want to look like a
54
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:36.040
coward in front of my friends either, so I decided to play along.
55
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:43.959
The other boys turned off the lamps
they had lit to be there, leaving
56
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:47.240
us alone under the faint light of
the candles they lit to give more atmosphere
57
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:53.800
to the game. We started playing
by asking questions to the board, which
58
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:58.360
only seemed to give vague answers.
At first, it all seemed like a
59
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:02.759
lie. I was sure that the
boy holding the pointer was moving him to
60
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:10.279
play a joke on everyone, but
then the temperature began to drop abruptly and
61
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:15.000
the pointer on the board began to
move disturbingly, repeating the word over and
62
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:20.839
over again. Only the candlelights began
to move strangely and a gust of cold
63
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:27.480
wind passed through the room, freezing
our bones and sending chills down our spine.
64
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:35.920
A cry that seemed agony was heard
and everyone present at the party ran
65
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:43.160
out in panic. I grabbed the
hand of dante and tried to keep him
66
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:47.839
close as we ran into the crowd
of terrified boys, but in a moment
67
00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:51.120
I let him go and lost sight. The darkness was so dense that I
68
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:57.560
could see nothing beyond a few meters
in front of me. I wanted to
69
00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:00.839
believe he was still running with the
group, but I couldn' t be
70
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:06.040
sure. Finally, when we got
off the property, I realized Dante wasn
71
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:12.279
' t among us. The heart. It sank into my chest as I
72
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:18.759
realized it was gone. I knew
I should go back inside and look for
73
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:23.800
him, but none of the other
boys were willing to go back into that
74
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:29.480
house. My supposed friends began to
disperse to return home, leaving me alone
75
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:34.079
for a moment I felt paralyzed by
fear, but the instinct to protect my
76
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:39.959
brother made me overcome it and I
knew that I had no choice but to
77
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:45.879
go back inside and find him cost
what the cold, wet air cost me
78
00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:49.519
to face. When I went back
into the house. The darkness was overwhelming.
79
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:55.600
Wrapping me up like a cold,
thick blanket, I didn' t
80
00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:59.319
remember the house feeling that way.
The first time I entered I was cautiously
81
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:03.600
advancing through the dark corridors, calling
my brother again and again the echo of
82
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:10.079
my words resounded, but there was
no response from my brother. I felt
83
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:14.600
a knot in my throat as I
walked through every room and hallway. My
84
00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:19.639
steps resounded on the floor, creating
a rather gloomy echo. I kept calling
85
00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:27.800
my brother desperately waiting to hear his
answer in the dark. Then a deafening
86
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:32.720
noise broke the silence, causing my
heart to stop in the chest. The
87
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:38.319
sound of metals falling to the ground, resonated around me, filling the air
88
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:43.439
with a sense of danger. Fear
took hold of me, but the idea
89
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:47.199
that that noise might have been caused
by my brother prompted me to move on.
90
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:54.399
I moved on to where the noise
had come and there, squatting,
91
00:07:55.040 --> 00:08:00.600
I found my brother trembling and frightened
a relief. He invaded me when I
92
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:03.600
saw him and ran towards him,
taking him by the shoulder with trembling hands.
93
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:07.319
I asked him to stand up to
get out of that place. I
94
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:13.519
questioned him if he was okay,
but he seemed so scared that he didn
95
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:16.680
' t utter a single word.
He got up slowly and I took his
96
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:22.439
hand to get him to the exit. In doing so, I noticed his
97
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:26.279
hand was frozen. It was as
if it had been submerged in cold water
98
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:31.839
for hours. I attributed the feeling
of cold to the freezing temperature of the
99
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:35.240
room. I decided not to pay
much attention to him at the time.
100
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:39.600
I knew we had to get out
of there before our parents came home,
101
00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:45.600
so I squeezed your hand hard and
led him out in hopes of leaving that
102
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:54.320
nightmare behind. Finally we arrived home, where we received the light from the
103
00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:58.919
living room. My parents had not
yet returned, which meant that we had
104
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:05.080
time to recover before they arrived.
I made them sit on the couch and
105
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:11.320
made them a cup of hot tea
trying to warm their frozen hands, while
106
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:16.519
he stayed in the seat, lost
in his own thoughts. I sat next
107
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:20.320
to him, feeling the weight of
the world on my shoulders, remembering the
108
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:26.240
terrible things we had witnessed in that
house. I explained to Dante that our
109
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:31.399
parents could never find out what we
had experienced that night. He had always
110
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:37.080
been a quiet child, but at
that time he seemed completely out of himself.
111
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:41.759
He still said he wouldn' t
say anything that relieved me a little.
112
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:46.840
With that of course, between us, we' re both going to
113
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:52.559
sleep. After dinner in the middle
of the morning, I woke up feeling
114
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:56.399
that someone was watching the light from
the street posts leaking out the window.
115
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:01.120
It allowed me to see you at
the foot of my bed. He was
116
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:07.000
dressed in his pajamas and seemed to
stare at me. That puzzled me,
117
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:11.840
since it wasn' t something he
used to do. I asked him what
118
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:15.679
was wrong with him, but he
simply replied that he was very afraid.
119
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:20.080
I fully understood the reason for your
fear. After all, I was a
120
00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:24.480
little scared, too, so I
let him get into bed with me.
121
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:30.080
I tried to fall asleep again,
but one of my hands touched the dante
122
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:35.360
that was as cold as ice.
That alerted me and asked him if he
123
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:41.080
was feeling well, but again I
did not get an answer. I got
124
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:45.399
up a little bit to look at
the best and that' s when I
125
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:50.200
saw her eyes open, but they
seemed to be completely black and her face
126
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:54.639
seemed strange. That made me immediately
rise from bed screaming and calling my parents
127
00:10:54.679 --> 00:11:01.600
who, for my fortune, were
already at home. They came to see
128
00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:05.600
what was happening and when my father
lit the light, I could see dante,
129
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:09.559
looking at me with his perfectly normal
eyes and face. My parents asked
130
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:15.320
me what was going on and I
lied to them saying I had had a
131
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:20.399
nightmare. After all, I thought
I might have seen bad because of the
132
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:26.039
little light, although a part of
me felt uneasy about that explanation, the
133
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:30.559
feeling of having seen my brother'
s black eyes and his strange face continued
134
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:35.399
to disturb me and fill me with
a deep concern that I could not ignore.
135
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:41.480
We went to bed again, but
this time I couldn' t get
136
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:46.039
Dante' s image back to sleep
with his black eyes and his strange face
137
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:52.799
had been etched in my mind chasing
me into my thoughts, I couldn'
138
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:58.000
t shake the feeling that something strange
had happened as the days passed. I
139
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:03.200
tried to forget what I had seen
to convince myself that everything had been the
140
00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:07.200
product of my imagination. But every
time I looked at Dante, I couldn
141
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:11.240
' t help but feel a chill
running around my back. I couldn'
142
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:18.120
t explain the reason, only that
his presence alone made me feel a mixture
143
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:24.000
of nervousness and fear. I could
notice that my brother had changed a lot,
144
00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:26.799
he was no longer the same child, shy and loving he used to
145
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:33.320
be. He was passing now just
staring into nothingness, as if he were
146
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:37.600
lost in his own thoughts. Many
times when he thought he did not listen
147
00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:45.600
to him, he seemed to begin
to speak alone, murmuring incomprehensible words in
148
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:48.320
a low, chilling tone. All
that, along with the fact that since
149
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:54.519
that Halloween party day, Dante never
seemed to have a normal temperature. It
150
00:12:54.759 --> 00:13:01.559
was always cold as if it was
frozen inside. I tried to talk to
151
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:07.360
my parents about my concerns, but
they just said that he was growing up
152
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:11.279
and that it was normal to notice
changes in his behavior. Something wasn'
153
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:15.759
t right for me. There was
something about the way Dante behaved, the
154
00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:22.120
way he seemed to be losing contact
with reality every day. I was worried
155
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:26.600
about him if all that wasn'
t enough. Neighbors' pets began to
156
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:35.879
mysteriously disappear. At first it did
not seem relevant, only a curious fact
157
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:39.440
that did not attract much attention.
But one day, while I was keeping
158
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:45.480
Dante' s clothes, I found
something that made me stop dry between his
159
00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:52.000
things. I found several collars of
dogs some even seemed to have reddish spots,
160
00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:56.240
it was as if I was keeping
them as trophies, as if they
161
00:13:56.279 --> 00:14:00.679
were memories of something I had done. I trembled at what that might mean,
162
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:07.799
what my brother might be doing.
I didn' t want to believe
163
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:11.840
Dante would be able to hurt the
animals, but he couldn' t ignore
164
00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:15.519
the evidence in front of me.
I had tried to talk to my parents,
165
00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:18.600
but they didn' t believe me. Now I was facing a difficult
166
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:24.519
decision between a confrontation or continuing in
denial. Part of me wanted to face
167
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:31.840
Dante directly, confront him about his
strange behaviors and the disturbing evidence he had
168
00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:37.639
found, but another part of me
was afraid that it would only make things
169
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:43.759
worse that could keep him further away
from me I decided that I needed to
170
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:46.360
better understand what was going on with
him. Before I took any drastic action,
171
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:50.120
I began to observe as closely as
possible, trying to understand what was
172
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:54.840
disturbing him so much and that he
was leading him to behave. That way,
173
00:14:54.240 --> 00:15:00.960
I noticed that he spent a lot
of time alone in his room,
174
00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:05.000
often with the door locked and not
wanting to be disturbed. Sometimes I heard
175
00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:11.440
him whispering incomprehensible words, as if
he was talking to himself or someone I
176
00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:16.200
couldn' t see. I also
noticed that it avoided physical contact, as
177
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:20.879
if it was preventing someone from touching
it. His hands were always cold,
178
00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:26.000
even on the warmest days, and
he seemed hostile to the idea of letting
179
00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:31.200
someone get too close. I felt
helpless in the face of the situation.
180
00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:37.799
I didn' t know how to
get close to him or how to talk
181
00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:43.600
to him I was thinking about how
to make him understand that he was there
182
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:48.120
to help him, and I was
wondering if I should look for professional help,
183
00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:48.120
talk to a therapist or a doctor
who could understand what was going on
184
00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:52.960
with him. But before I could
make a decision, life took it for
185
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:58.879
me. One night while I was
asleep in my room, I was awakened
186
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:03.600
by a noise coming from Dante'
s room. This was a soft sound,
187
00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:10.480
but persistent as a whisper. I
got out of bed and approached his
188
00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:15.759
door with my heart beating hard.
When I opened the door, I came
189
00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:19.960
across a scene that left me breathless. Dante was sitting in the middle of
190
00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:26.399
the room staring at the wall with
empty eyes and an inexpressive face, he
191
00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:33.399
seemed to repeat the same words again
and again I tried to understand what he
192
00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:37.639
was saying. He seemed to be
speaking in a language, which he was
193
00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:41.639
completely unaware of. I knew I
couldn' t stand by. I had
194
00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:45.039
to do something to help my brother. I approached him to move him out
195
00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:52.039
of that trance state. In doing
so, he stopped talking to stare at
196
00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:56.799
me. I could see the fury
in his gaze I didn' t know
197
00:16:56.799 --> 00:16:59.480
how to react to it. It
was definitely something I wasn' t prepared
198
00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:04.279
for, so I just let it
go and went to my room remembering all
199
00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:10.759
that. I wish I had acted
better. Two nights later, while sleeping
200
00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:18.319
deeply, I felt a presence watching
me slowly opened my eyes and saw my
201
00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:22.759
brother standing at the foot of my
bed with his pajamas barely visible in the
202
00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:26.599
dark. I called him several times
asking him what was wrong with him,
203
00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:30.319
but I didn' t get any
answers. I felt a knot of fear
204
00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:36.200
twisting in my stomach. While I
was wondering what was going on with him
205
00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:41.759
I temptfully reached my phone and lit
it by lighting up the room. What
206
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:45.880
I saw filled me with horror.
My brother' s face was deformed before
207
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:51.480
my eyes, twisting into a diabolical
and inhuman grimace. He looked at me
208
00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:55.640
with a smile that would freeze my
blood. His eyes shone with an evil
209
00:17:55.720 --> 00:18:00.680
light that left me paralyzed with fear. Before I could react, my brother
210
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:06.400
jumped over me covering my mouth with
his frozen hand, I was surprised how
211
00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:11.559
strong I was and struggled to get
rid of his grip but it was as
212
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:18.200
if I was fighting a supernatural force
in a moment of despair. He whispered
213
00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:22.440
in my ear with a voice that
smelled my blood. I' m not
214
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:26.319
alone anymore. Her breath smelled awful
and before she could do anything else,
215
00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:33.480
she let me go and ran out
of the room. Leaving me trembling with
216
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:37.119
fear, I jumped up and ran
after him, but when I came to
217
00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:41.240
the door I could only see how
he had run to the front door of
218
00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:45.079
the house and walked out of it. He disappeared in the darkness of the
219
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:48.880
street. My parents, alerted by
the sound of the door, opened,
220
00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:56.039
came running towards me wondering what had
happened. I couldn' t contain myself
221
00:18:56.039 --> 00:18:59.599
anymore and told them everything. From
the night of the Halloween party to the
222
00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:04.440
horrifying dwarf I had just had with
my brother. My parents completely ignored the
223
00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:11.119
paranormal part of my story and called
the police to find Dante. But despite
224
00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:15.839
all his efforts, he was never
found. Since then I have lived with
225
00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:19.559
the terror of not knowing what happened
to my brother, of not knowing what
226
00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:25.440
came home with me, since I
am convinced that whatever came back that night
227
00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:33.680
was no longer my brother. A
