1
00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:12.039
The demon that devours children. When
we arrived at our new apartment, there
2
00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:16.519
was a novenarius for a death right
across the street, but on a floor
3
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:19.839
less than where we had moved.
I didn' t mean to interrupt or
4
00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:24.199
get in. I also discreetly let
my husband know that we put things in
5
00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:30.600
without bothering the people who were gathered
outside the entrance to the apartments. I
6
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:34.799
don' t remember very well how
many people there were, but there were
7
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:38.679
quite a few. So full was
the small apartment that they went out to
8
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:42.520
the stairs of the entrance to the
groups of five or six people. They
9
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:47.119
were all talking. They brought disposable
glasses, also cookies. I smelled a
10
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:51.479
lot of coffee and cinnamon flowers.
I thought for a moment it was a
11
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:54.679
funeral. I asked my husband if
he could see anything between the movement of
12
00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:59.039
things up, but he told me
that he greeted the neighbor on the next
13
00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:03.679
floor of our tower. He told
her that she was the last novenarius of
14
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:07.640
the daughter of the lady who lived
in that apartment. The man was in
15
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:11.879
a hurry for the errand bags he
was carrying and my husband asked no more.
16
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:15.959
They showed up to each other and
that' s all there is to
17
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:19.239
it. When we met again in
the moving truck, he said quietly that
18
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:23.879
the girl was there, but that
I did not worry that it was just
19
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:29.040
the ashes. I wasn' t
gonna get to see a whole dead man.
20
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:32.760
In his coffin, my skin was
raised to think about it. Then
21
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:37.000
I began to hurry as I climbed
up some boxes. I didn' t
22
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:41.040
want to spend much time going up
and down. I felt a greater discomfort
23
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:44.519
than usual. I' ve never
seen a dead man before. Perhaps she
24
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:48.560
was fortunate because, despite passing the
age of twenty, at that time she
25
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:53.920
had never attended any funeral home or
pantheon. I don' t know if
26
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:57.840
because we were starting a new stage
that I was hoping would be all pink
27
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:00.920
or because the same pregnancy brought me
to crazy hormones. But the scent of
28
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:07.120
flowers was unbearable. He swore he
could smell it even inside our apartment.
29
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:13.680
It was almost as if the two
apartment towers were full of flowers rotting to
30
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:17.319
date. I can' t stand
the scent of flowers called a white house,
31
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:22.280
because they smell like dead. We
just moved into the apartments at the
32
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:27.080
Colony Arcos. There the towers share
the same number. Only one letter is
33
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:30.759
increased to the number of each department
to make them a side A and a
34
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:35.240
side B. The funeral was on
the second floor on the A- side.
35
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:39.680
We moved to the third floor on
the B- side. As I
36
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:46.080
mentioned earlier, I was pregnant.
I was only three months old and we
37
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:50.280
had decided to move to a place
closer to the center, as we lived
38
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:53.840
in a village about three hours from
the center. After climbing up and firing
39
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:59.120
the gentlemen of the moving team,
we stayed for dinner without unpacking much,
40
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:04.080
but we had pizza and settled in
the chair without having set up our dining
41
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:07.560
table. We began to talk about
what we expected of the emotion that gave
42
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:10.560
us to begin in that place.
Now that we were going to be parents.
43
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:17.680
I remember clearly when the lights started
to go down slowly like blinking until
44
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:23.439
the light went out. Luis laughed
at me saying that we just needed to
45
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:28.759
close the day and before we could
answer him, we heard a few screams.
46
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.719
I got up in one tug and
came to the window facing into the
47
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:39.560
apartments. There could be a lot
of cell lights out there, moving down
48
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:46.520
the floor where the novenarius were.
That' s where the noises came from.
49
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:51.000
I knew it because I also heard
that several people began to calm those
50
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:54.800
who were praying. My husband was
sitting in the chair, still eating,
51
00:03:55.120 --> 00:04:00.319
had turned on the light on his
cell phone and asked me to come back
52
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:04.840
to finish dinner to go to bed
I was amazed that I was not curious
53
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:08.919
about what we were hearing. Without
electricity, we couldn' t do anything.
54
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:12.360
Until the next day. I didn' t listen to him. I
55
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:15.560
kept looking through the vents. I
told him that perhaps we should report the
56
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:19.439
light to the Commission. He was
really tired. I didn' t have
57
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:23.240
to see his face to know he
was upset. He wouldn' t answer
58
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:27.120
me. It' s one of
those people who get tired with bad tempers.
59
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:31.480
When I was trying to convince myself
to get away from seeing the people
60
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:36.519
of the novenarius with morbidness, I
made a quick move to look up and
61
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:42.439
down. I felt like something had
fallen off. That' s why I
62
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:46.480
checked my leg in the dark.
As I looked up, I heard the
63
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:50.000
screams again. I clearly saw how
all the lights on the cell phones that
64
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:56.040
were moving in the dark started blinking
in a very rare way. After that
65
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:59.959
they went out. That' s
why everyone screamed. At that moment.
66
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:03.639
It didn' t go through my
head to think it was weird that all
67
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:08.120
the cell phones went off. At
the same time, for a second I
68
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:12.680
came to see that a little light
moved through the darkness and then went out.
69
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:17.040
The sounds of amazement flooded the night. The people in the department were
70
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:23.439
frightened by the appearance of that vision. The feeling that the darkness was deeper
71
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:27.839
little by little and the crying of
a woman who did not stop scared me
72
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:31.120
so much that I could not say
anything. I also felt the tips of
73
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:35.959
my icy fingers because I was shaking. I felt like I had to run
74
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:41.000
or something, but staying there was
no option, so I went fast with
75
00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:45.000
my husband, but I stumbled over
something I had left on the floor.
76
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:49.000
It was a box that had the
tools to put together the chairs and the
77
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:54.639
table and I fell by fitting one
of the tools and, as I was
78
00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:57.600
going straight ahead, I fell into
the box with one knee inside. So
79
00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:00.680
the drama increased, as we went
out in search of a clinic open at
80
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:04.920
seven o' clock on a Sunday
night to be able to attend to my
81
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:10.800
knee cut. Fortunately, it wasn' t serious, but he wouldn'
82
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:13.360
t let me move for a whole
week, as it hurt a lot.
83
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:18.560
Unfortunately, that would only trigger a
terrible crisis of anxiety, because not being
84
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:24.360
able to move well worried me very
much, but I will go little by
85
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:28.240
little to tell what happened, because
my doctors believe that it gave me stress
86
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:30.879
from pregnancy, but I know what
I saw I was terrified to see a
87
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:33.560
light. It has as a reflection
of a body, a small body that
88
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:38.079
ran to the bottom of the apartment
until it was lost. After that,
89
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:42.519
the subject of my neighbors' conversation
had not been our move. It was
90
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:46.600
the appearance of the ghost during the
girl' s novenarius, as I say.
91
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:49.959
Some people said it appeared briefly as
a light in the middle of the
92
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:56.279
darkness of the night. I was
scared. He listened to the conversations of
93
00:06:56.279 --> 00:07:00.120
the neighbors, always more communicative outside
their homes, who began to spread the
94
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:05.639
rumor that Mrs Betty' s daughter
had appeared during the rosary. Some said
95
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:11.560
someone had seen a little light move. Others said they saw that he hid
96
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:15.360
behind one of the chairs when the
light went away some more that had appeared
97
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:19.040
to them by touching them. At
that moment I felt that even the air
98
00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:24.560
was missing when I learned that it
was the novenarius of an eight- year
99
00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:29.079
- old girl named Paola and that, apparently, I too had managed to
100
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:33.560
see that spirit before hitting my knee, I know that I am not the
101
00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:39.000
most patient person. I already had
my stress episodes that kept me from being
102
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:41.800
calm, but I don' t
know how to explain it. I was
103
00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:46.079
afraid to hear of a little dead
woman. The rotten flowers still smelled in
104
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:49.519
my house, but the worst was
that vision. I know I saw a
105
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:54.639
ghost and not the ones people count
as spectra. It had only been a
106
00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:58.360
small ball of light, but that
was enough for me to understand that it
107
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:03.000
was not normal and I could not
explain that either. I started thinking a
108
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:07.040
lot. That weird feeling invaded me
again. I had to get out of
109
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:11.519
there. I was in danger.
Something bad could happen to me, but
110
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:16.800
especially something bad could happen to my
baby. While I was thinking, the
111
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:22.560
neighbors were still talking. I kept
hearing things about the little girl who died.
112
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:28.199
They said their favorite color how they
liked to dress as well as how
113
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:33.480
much they liked to go play with
their little plastic dolls on the apartment stairs.
114
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:37.240
Then, someone said they heard the
girl playing on the stairs at night.
115
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:45.159
His voice was very low and some
laughter was what he heard. Maybe
116
00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:48.840
his ghost was there. They said
because he fell off the fourth floor,
117
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:54.159
but no one knew how. Betty
told them that the cops, when they
118
00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:58.200
arrived, were surprised. It was
an accident, but the body looked really
119
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:01.840
bad. I couldn' t stop
thinking about the light I saw or the
120
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:07.080
weird cold around me. I was
afraid I' d get out and be
121
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:09.720
able to hear those laughs on the
stairs. Something was wrong, but I
122
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:13.000
didn' t know how to explain
that girl seemed close, even though she
123
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:18.279
wasn' t in this world.
I was getting dizzy trying to calm down,
124
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:22.000
breathing deep. The vision kept appearing
in my dreams. I began to
125
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:26.519
think it was a very serious mistake
to move to that place. One afternoon,
126
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:30.679
my husband went from place to place, settling things in place, while
127
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:35.600
trying to entertain me with a maternity
magazine. I was sitting next to the
128
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:41.120
window facing the buildings across the street
and looking out loud because I heard a
129
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:46.200
weird noise, I looked at some
hands drawn on the windows of the deceased
130
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:52.000
girl' s apartment. I kept
a scream breathing deeply to calm the impression,
131
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:56.399
I had no way to explain coherently
what I had seen. My husband
132
00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:03.919
had been too impressed. When a
few minutes passed, I came to tell
133
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:07.120
him that I had seen a ghost
the day we arrived and at that time
134
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:09.360
I had seen him again. But
as he looked out the window, he
135
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:15.000
saw not a single trace indicating the
hands I saw He looked at me with
136
00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:18.039
much understanding. He told me not
to worry about him breathing, that he
137
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:22.200
' d see me feel comfortable.
He asked me how it had been.
138
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:26.679
I told him that through the ventilates
I saw a light moving through the darkness
139
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:30.039
his face. He told me everything
didn' t believe me. The next
140
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:33.679
day he confessed to me that he
did believe in ghosts, but that he
141
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:37.960
did not think that it would have
been. He asked me to try to
142
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:43.519
calm down He left the vents where
I looked that night permanently closed. The
143
00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:48.399
next night, after a very heavy
day because we were on the clock settling
144
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:54.159
what we could, as I would
stay alone at home, we ended up
145
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:58.039
very tired. Still, I couldn' t sleep. I was turning uncomfortable.
146
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:01.639
In the end I resigned and read
to me. I sat in bed
147
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:05.679
while Luis snored next to me.
The room was completely dark. I looked
148
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:09.840
at the curtains and realized it wasn' t on. In the light of
149
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:13.759
the corner lighting, a strange cold
in the middle of May raised my skin.
150
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:18.200
I touched my fingers with one hand
and another, trying to understand what
151
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:22.919
was happening to me. I thought
I was too tired because I saw cloudy
152
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:28.039
as asleep, but I was awake. I didn' t want to wake
153
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:31.320
my husband up, so I resigned
myself to look at nothing for a while
154
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:35.000
until I understood if I felt bad
for some reason. I began to ask
155
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:39.639
him goodbye help, but he diverted
from my concentration a very subtle aroma of
156
00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:43.440
flowers that brought to my mind the
image of the little light that was in
157
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:48.960
the apartment where the novenarius was.
Also those hands in the window. I
158
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:52.159
felt the blood drop out of my
head so fast I ended up dizzy.
159
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:56.360
I hadn' t thought about the
ghost thing any more. For being worried
160
00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:01.799
about the move. The hoop or
increased. I started mumbling at some point
161
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:07.440
without realizing that everything was okay.
Again and again trying to convince me,
162
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:11.240
despite having the heavy sleep, my
husband woke up dry and immediately asked me
163
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:16.960
if I was okay. Taking my
shoulders in the dark I saw his eyes,
164
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:20.279
I saw him weird. I took
his arms and told him I smelled
165
00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:24.960
Flores, but he didn' t
listen to me. I had to repeat
166
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:28.399
it twice or three more, but
he was open- eyed without saying anything.
167
00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:33.279
I was looking at nothing. Then
he went back to bed. In
168
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:35.200
the end, I said loudly that
I smelled Flores. He sighed. He
169
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:39.440
said yes, he smelled, but
he just turned around and tried to turn
170
00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:41.440
on the lamp in his bureau,
but he didn' t light it.
171
00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:46.759
I yelled at him to wake up
and at that moment he sat on the
172
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:50.679
bed. He looked abnormal. He
tried to turn on the lamp twice as
173
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:54.879
long as he stopped to see what
was going on. He got up to
174
00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:58.200
check if the pills in the fuse
box were running out, hadn' t
175
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:03.120
gone down or something. His flip
flops echoed on the floor. I heard
176
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:07.399
some of the neighbors' doors were
gnashing. Apparently, other people had realized
177
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:11.600
that there was no light. Luis
told me everything looked good. He also
178
00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:15.919
snuck out the door and told me
there was no light on the street.
179
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:20.639
I heard him stumble several times before
he got to the bathroom, where he
180
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:24.679
stopped quietly. He stayed there without
saying anything. Instead of staying calm,
181
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:31.759
I got more nervous. The darkness. The weird cold and the scent of
182
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:39.360
dead flowers were making me nauseous.
I felt my stomach contract ignoring the pain
183
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:43.039
of the knee. I got up
carelessly. I ended up throwing up in
184
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:48.600
the sink. I stumbled upon my
husband. When I ran to the bathroom,
185
00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:52.000
I took my nightgown and dried my
face. He was holding my hair.
186
00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:56.120
While I was doing this, I
heard a sound of a very low
187
00:13:56.120 --> 00:14:01.919
voice. It was behind me perhaps
somewhat far away, but I reached to
188
00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:05.960
hear it, I know that everything
was dark, that it was impossible to
189
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:11.440
distinguish something, but I know what
I saw from the room that was behind
190
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:15.519
my back from its darkness, because
there were only the boxes closed from the
191
00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:20.440
few things of my baby I saw
that a figure reflected in the mirror I
192
00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:22.919
saw so sharp, despite being dark, it was the face of a girl
193
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:26.600
in the darkness. Then the light
came in seconds and I couldn' t
194
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:31.600
keep my mouth shut. A little
choking scream. It came out for that
195
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:35.759
second I knew that what I saw
was a little girl was small, like
196
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:39.039
more of a chaparra than a normal, hairy, lactated, and very white
197
00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:43.919
girl. His round face seemed to
have no expression. She was serious,
198
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:48.960
with her mouth a little open and
her eyes very black. Never in my
199
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:54.600
life will I forget that face.
All the lights in the house were out.
200
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:58.399
It was only on the one in
the back room. That' s
201
00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:03.120
where I saw that little girl.
After that I began to tremble uncontrollably,
202
00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:05.679
even though I was breathing to calm
down. He didn' t make it.
203
00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:11.320
I had tears coming out, but
I couldn' t say what I
204
00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:15.039
saw. I only told my husband
that I had seen something that had made
205
00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:18.759
me very afraid. My husband took
me to the edge of the bed to
206
00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:24.320
sit down. He asked me if
I could get water or something, but
207
00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:26.960
I couldn' t say anything.
Luis started to heat water to give me
208
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:33.200
a tea room light next to where
we slept. The one where I saw
209
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:35.279
that girl or her face, because
the body wasn' t sharp. His
210
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:41.399
round face his huge eyes and a
little of his shoulders stood out from the
211
00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:46.639
darkness. My heart was coming out
of my throat of terror, whining,
212
00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:48.679
I went to my husband' s
side to hug him, I began to
213
00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:52.480
cry. He didn' t say
anything, he never said anything. At
214
00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:56.279
that moment I spent the worst night
of my life and the next day I
215
00:15:56.320 --> 00:16:00.799
went first hour to look for file
to get consultation, imagining that I could
216
00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:06.200
be seeing things for some reason,
because the next day it didn' t
217
00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:07.399
seem normal to see a ghost.
I' m not a person who doesn
218
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:12.399
' t believe in ghosts, but
I was worried that I was going crazy
219
00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:17.480
about a ghost of a child.
It was crazy. The doctor told me
220
00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:21.679
he didn' t have anything.
He sent me painkillers and I got paranoid.
221
00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:26.720
On my way home. I could
only think of the girl she was
222
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:32.720
there. I couldn' t take
that face off my head and close my
223
00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:37.440
eyes and there I was I was
going to look in the mirror after going
224
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:41.360
to the bathroom and for a moment
I felt like I saw her again looking
225
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:42.519
at me with those horribly black eyes, like there was nothing in them.
226
00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:48.320
It was a feeling of seeing all
the bad in them. That' s
227
00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:53.039
why I started not seeing the reflexes
of all surfaces because I didn' t
228
00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:55.559
want to find her there alone and
in the middle of the day. It
229
00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:59.960
would be more than a hallucination.
I was afraid I' d even get
230
00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:03.200
locked up in a shrink or something. I arrived at the apartment at ten
231
00:17:03.319 --> 00:17:07.480
o' clock with Luis. I' d stayed at my mom' s
232
00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:11.400
all afternoon. I didn' t
want to go back and be alone,
233
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:15.440
even though I did three hours to
go see her more the ones that piled
234
00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:21.240
up to return my whole body seemed
to ask me to stay away, because
235
00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:22.480
even a few red hives came out
in my arms. The worst thing is
236
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:29.079
that those hives had the circular shapes
before entering the apartment. He told me
237
00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:30.599
he couldn' t see for sure
that he' d come back. Maybe
238
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:36.000
I had to wait for the pills
to work out that if I spent a
239
00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:41.319
night out, I could get better
soon that we were wrong it wasn'
240
00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:47.680
t rest. There was an entity
there stalking us that night and I couldn
241
00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:51.119
' t eat the dream. I
was completely laying down an incredible heaviness.
242
00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:56.319
He had taken over me. I
began to feel pulled as if moved to
243
00:17:56.319 --> 00:18:00.960
bed, heavy and confused little by
little, I fell into bed, I
244
00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:03.960
don' t remember how I lay
down, the change of clothes, or
245
00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:07.400
anything else. I felt like I
was passing out. I began to dream
246
00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:11.559
of something I will never forget.
I was walking around the apartment. It
247
00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:17.480
was all arranged, with different furniture
as if it were another time it looked
248
00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:21.680
dark. There were plastic bags in
some corners, as well as stuff crumbling
249
00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:26.759
into furniture. Also on the table
is an old bony woman with her lips
250
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:30.200
badly painted red and her face broken
with deep grooves of old make- up.
251
00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:36.359
I was sitting smoking on a double
bed, right in the room where
252
00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:41.319
my husband had put our bedroom.
The woman didn' t look at me,
253
00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:44.240
turned her cigarette off on the mattress. I coughed, too. I
254
00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:47.920
felt the smoke so much that I
was drowning. When I looked in the
255
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:52.240
other room, it was empty.
There was only one chair in it there
256
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:56.839
was a man with a face with
many scars. I looked without moving through
257
00:18:56.880 --> 00:18:59.920
the window. It didn' t
look like he saw me from the o
258
00:18:59.920 --> 00:19:02.880
' s either. The other side
of the window saw the space towards the
259
00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:07.240
neighbors' courtyard, also a gap
between building and building. Then the twin
260
00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:14.079
window in the other apartment across the
street I approached the man I had completely
261
00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:18.200
black eyes I looked down. As
I adjusted to his height, I took
262
00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:22.799
a look to see what that horrible
man saw. From the vents. With
263
00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:26.519
a mirror on the floor below,
you could see the window of a little
264
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:29.920
girl' s room. She had
curtains with her barbie doll in blue and
265
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:34.039
pink. The girl played sitting in
her bed. The hands moved small plastic
266
00:19:34.119 --> 00:19:41.480
wrists along the edge of the ventilates. She was the girl that I saw
267
00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:45.079
with her eyes empty, with her
mouth open, with pale skin, moving
268
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:51.599
her hands making me play, but
I looked more like a girl' s
269
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:56.759
doll that moved than a real girl
playing I jumped back, hitting the man
270
00:19:56.839 --> 00:19:59.519
a little bit in the chair he
didn' t move. I panicked.
271
00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:04.240
It was as if that man had
stood up like an animal. Her eyes
272
00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:11.200
shone reddish and I felt my legs
fail. I heard my weight fall to
273
00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:15.799
the ground in a dry blow I
sat recharged on the wall but unable to
274
00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:21.000
move, my hands hung at my
sides. The man got up, had
275
00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:25.799
no clothes, was naked, and
was covered in some parts by a dense
276
00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:27.759
layer of hair. When I saw
him straight ahead, I was on the
277
00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:32.039
ground and he stood up, it
seemed to me like he was getting bigger.
278
00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:37.119
I could observe that his small ears
ended in tip and gradually a smile
279
00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:41.400
was drawn, a dense drool began
to come out of between his lips.
280
00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:47.880
Jadeaba shone his eyes brighter and directed
them to my belly and wanted to pray.
281
00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:51.799
For the first time in my life, I felt the need to pray
282
00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:56.200
everything I didn' t know but
couldn' t, I couldn' t
283
00:20:56.240 --> 00:20:56.599
concrete anything, I didn' t
remember things well and the tongue. I
284
00:20:56.640 --> 00:21:02.400
got stuck. That man b so
gave him a laugh from inside his mouth.
285
00:21:02.920 --> 00:21:07.119
Semi opened the drool, it scurried
through the chest until a scent of
286
00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:11.400
rotten flowers fell to the ground.
He started to get away from that being
287
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:15.200
and I felt like I was dying
because I slowly saw blacker around me.
288
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:21.039
As that thing approached me, I
woke up in the ambulance. My husband
289
00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:25.000
was crying next to me. I
felt I was coming back from a dream,
290
00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:27.240
but the reality is that I had
come down too far. My breath
291
00:21:27.640 --> 00:21:33.079
was wearing an oxygen mask and it
was bitten by an arm. That'
292
00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:37.960
s where I was getting meds I
woke up crying. My husband was crying
293
00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:41.640
with me, but I don'
t think either of us knew why we
294
00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:45.680
weren' t talking. He was
crying and I just remembered that man.
295
00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:48.960
Horrible. Thank God. We made
it to the hospital. Fortunately, my
296
00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:52.960
baby was fine, but they didn' t understand what had happened to me,
297
00:21:53.160 --> 00:21:56.599
because the studies didn' t say
anything. The most curious thing is
298
00:21:56.680 --> 00:22:00.279
that the episode didn' t repeat
itself again and that was the weirdest thing
299
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:04.880
for doctors. For my part,
I felt calm. I was sure of
300
00:22:04.920 --> 00:22:10.519
what that beast was doing to me. He wanted to kill me He lived
301
00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:15.519
in that apartment. It was disgusting
to look at him sitting in that chair
302
00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:19.599
just to look out. For me
to be in the hospital that time had
303
00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:25.039
not been bad. On the contrary, he could rest the apartment. It
304
00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:30.000
felt bad. The atmosphere smelled awful. Everything gave a feeling of being locked
305
00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:33.200
up in the hospital. I did
not feel observed or persecuted, so I
306
00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:37.200
had made a decision. I'
d have to leave the apartment. I
307
00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:41.720
couldn' t go back. The
problem was, as I said to my
308
00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:45.880
husband, what I wanted little by
little. The time came for me to
309
00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:51.039
discharge without knowing what I had,
because the doctors thought it was just stress.
310
00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:55.400
All he could do was wait and
return with the presence of that child
311
00:22:55.519 --> 00:22:59.799
or that horrible man. That'
s how time came n the afternoon,
312
00:22:59.960 --> 00:23:02.119
before it' s time to leave, my husband came to visit me.
313
00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:07.359
I wanted to fix the details for
my worried discharge. I tried to be
314
00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:10.599
the least clear about what I'
d dreamed of. I didn' t
315
00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:12.519
want them to think I was crazy. It had been a clear dream,
316
00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:18.200
but only a dream, so,
no matter how horrible it was, I
317
00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:21.480
couldn' t use it as a
justification for having to change our homes.
318
00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:26.640
Again, my husband came up with
the idea of not going back to the
319
00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:30.680
apartment because he was convinced that something
was wrong with the environment where we had
320
00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:33.920
moved. He told me he felt
it had not been a good place for
321
00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:38.400
me or the baby, so he
asked me to consider talking to his parents
322
00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:45.039
to stay with them for a while. I immediately agreed to move in with
323
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:48.759
my mom. The rest of the
pregnancy. My husband left quietly, didn
324
00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:52.680
' t touch the subject again,
and I didn' t step on that
325
00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:56.519
apartment again. After a few months
of Luis living alone there, he looked
326
00:23:56.519 --> 00:24:02.359
for a way to find another place
to live was much less close to some
327
00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:06.440
main avenue, but that didn'
t matter to me, because there I
328
00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:07.839
didn' t feel the feeling that
I was freezing again. The blood Louis
329
00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:12.960
was distant those months. I know
it was because of the distance, too,
330
00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:15.759
because we couldn' t see each
other anymore than on weekends. But
331
00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:19.839
from the time I left the hospital
the fifth month after my pregnancy, until
332
00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:25.839
the moment my source broke, I
felt weird. He always looked tired,
333
00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:32.079
also his gaze felt less luminous,
his skin looked dry. In a short
334
00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:36.200
time it seemed that he had grown
old, but as much as I asked
335
00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:38.759
him what he had, he answered
nothing. He passed the birth of Germán,
336
00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:42.079
which I thought would be more difficult
by how. My friends had always
337
00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:47.160
painted it on me, but it
went very well. I felt comfortable,
338
00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:52.039
despite the pain from the caesarean section. He was born healthy in his weight
339
00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:56.440
and without any health problems, something
that worried me about everything that had happened
340
00:24:56.559 --> 00:25:00.039
during pregnancy, about the blow to
the knee, the la, anxiety and
341
00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:04.039
fear. When they let my husband
in to see us, he told me
342
00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:07.920
that he had found a good place
to take us to live. The three
343
00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:11.960
together, as we had always imagined, was the second floor in a house.
344
00:25:12.279 --> 00:25:17.319
It wasn' t that big,
two rooms, living and dining together,
345
00:25:17.799 --> 00:25:22.559
the kitchen next to a small laundry
yard. Nothing unusual happened on arrival,
346
00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:26.559
but I was worried. I had
a hunch that we weren' t
347
00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:30.200
all right. As I stepped on
the new home for the first time,
348
00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:34.119
the feeling of heaviness, he told
me that this was not over when I
349
00:25:34.119 --> 00:25:37.559
arrived. It was a day of
sunshine. The clear sky. The music
350
00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:42.319
of the neighbors was heard far away
and our new neighbors from the sides and
351
00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:48.160
below approached us to live together and
to meet us. I told myself that
352
00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:52.000
was a good sign. I felt
bad for walking around thinking that paranormal things
353
00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:56.880
were going to continue. Luis told
me that' s what I wanted to
354
00:25:56.880 --> 00:26:00.960
think. So is he. I
also remember those words that I think he
355
00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:03.039
wanted to warn me that things weren' t going very well, but I
356
00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:08.039
couldn' t admit it. It
was with that comment that I realized something
357
00:26:08.119 --> 00:26:14.119
had happened in his mind or something
that I figured maybe I had nightmares like
358
00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:18.200
me, but unlike my personality,
my husband' s is very different.
359
00:26:18.279 --> 00:26:23.279
He talks a lot, but never
about deep issues or things like dreams or
360
00:26:23.279 --> 00:26:26.720
intuition. I am more of those
who feel that their intuition is a little
361
00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:32.000
more awake and I have always believed
that I have the gift of grasping things
362
00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:36.799
a little more. Unlike most people, as one trusts, I did not
363
00:26:36.839 --> 00:26:40.920
think from the beginning that arriving right
in the middle of a novenarius could be
364
00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:45.680
a problem. I' m not
superstitious. Besides, I don' t
365
00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:49.319
think anyone would believe it as a
sign of bad luck or anything like that.
366
00:26:51.839 --> 00:26:55.960
Little by little the days passed.
Like any couple with a newborn,
367
00:26:56.079 --> 00:27:00.640
we slept little, we lived worried
and every five minutes we had to change
368
00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:03.759
a diaper. But in the middle
of normality, I started to feel restless
369
00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:10.039
about something so it was done too
much to do just my imagination or intuition,
370
00:27:10.759 --> 00:27:12.079
but I couldn' t give it
a name. I didn' t
371
00:27:12.119 --> 00:27:15.920
know he was stalking us. I
was sure I felt something, but I
372
00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:18.519
didn' t see anything. In
the house. It began to be evident
373
00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:22.839
that I saw things that I was
already seeing something physical. I tried to
374
00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:27.119
convince myself that I imagined something was
happening walking next to me, but in
375
00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:32.119
the end I never saw anything,
maybe a brief shadow, if anything,
376
00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:37.720
but I didn' t really define
anything with my eyes, only the sensations
377
00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:42.720
tormented me. I saw those shadows. Some objects appeared elsewhere. I also
378
00:27:42.759 --> 00:27:49.119
started with constant nightmares, but I
was trying to disguise my terror by waking
379
00:27:49.200 --> 00:27:52.880
up or noticing something moved from the
place. I figured they' d call
380
00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:56.079
me crazy, because at that time
I really thought that whoever saw me scared
381
00:27:56.160 --> 00:28:00.319
by nothing or dreaming nightmares, was
going to tell me that I' d
382
00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:06.559
be put in a psychiatric institution.
In the fourth month I felt my head
383
00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:11.440
explode. They started giving me such
powerful headaches that I couldn' t have
384
00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:17.200
sunlight. By lighting the house,
I took the habit of being almost all
385
00:28:17.240 --> 00:28:22.039
day in the darkness of my room. When Luis went to work, I
386
00:28:22.039 --> 00:28:26.119
would go back to bed with the
child and put two blankets in the window
387
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:30.079
to prevent the light from sneaking into
the bedroom. It didn' t leave
388
00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:34.000
the spotlight on the room. I
didn' t see the cell phone,
389
00:28:34.319 --> 00:28:37.960
or do some activity to pass the
time. I was awake in the dark
390
00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:42.359
for a long time, attending to
the little German. Only in this way
391
00:28:42.440 --> 00:28:48.880
could I feel less and less sore
in the head and less concerned about the
392
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:53.200
sensations that were becoming more and more
intense. Fortunately, my son grew up
393
00:28:53.200 --> 00:28:56.599
well, I saw him calmly.
The consultations showed that things were fine,
394
00:28:57.079 --> 00:29:02.759
but when I saw myself in a
mirror, I hardly recognized myself. The
395
00:29:02.839 --> 00:29:07.000
shiners were huge. I got down
on weight I always looked nervous. I
396
00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:11.799
remember well, one afternoon when I
went to bathe, I felt that when
397
00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:17.039
the water touched my skin it shed
a faint aroma of flowers, so I
398
00:29:17.160 --> 00:29:21.759
removed the quick soap from my skin, deciding that I would not use shampoo
399
00:29:21.759 --> 00:29:25.880
either. But that feeling of smelling
dead flowers wouldn' t leave me alone.
400
00:29:26.599 --> 00:29:30.440
I got out quickly without rinsing my
body well because I heard the baby
401
00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:34.240
cry. Luis would walk him in
his arms from one side to the other
402
00:29:34.359 --> 00:29:37.839
of the room, looking for him
to calm down. I was singing to
403
00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:41.440
him while he was saconating the child. I turned around and stood dry The
404
00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:47.000
girl' s reflection was clear in
the fridge, my legs were bent,
405
00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:49.880
my eyes were covered, I didn' t want to see her. After
406
00:29:49.920 --> 00:29:53.240
a few seconds I took my hands
off my face. I looked at Luis.
407
00:29:53.480 --> 00:29:56.920
He was sitting in a chair.
I was hugging the kid. My
408
00:29:56.960 --> 00:30:02.799
husband was pale. He saw her, too. I should have been very
409
00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:04.720
scared, but I didn' t. If he saw her, she wasn
410
00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:08.319
' t crazy. If he showed
up, it was a sign that I
411
00:30:08.440 --> 00:30:12.799
wasn' t going crazy. Feeling
stalked. Indeed, it was happening.
412
00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:18.200
The ghost had been following us.
I took my son from Luis' arms,
413
00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:22.640
who looked at me surprised. He
was thinking something deep. That'
414
00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:26.519
s why he didn' t even
see when I came back with the baby
415
00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:29.240
door, where I put the little
one to sleep quietly. We had to
416
00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:34.920
talk after a while of starting an
argument because I was sick of feeling crazy
417
00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:37.839
and because he hadn' t told
me what was wrong with him. We
418
00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:42.640
relaxed. He told me that he
thought he was becoming paranoid or that he
419
00:30:42.680 --> 00:30:48.599
was flat schizophrenic because he listened to
a girl' s voice. I was
420
00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:52.079
upset, but I said no more. He started telling me what happened in
421
00:30:52.119 --> 00:30:55.920
the apartment. After I went to
my mom' s house, Luis had
422
00:30:56.039 --> 00:30:59.480
returned to the apartment. I didn' t know how to feel. I
423
00:30:59.839 --> 00:31:03.000
didn' t understand what was happening
to me, but the doctor had told
424
00:31:03.039 --> 00:31:08.319
her to be patient, as it
was probably some chemical changes in my body
425
00:31:08.319 --> 00:31:12.279
that assured her that being close to
my mom would improve my mental state.
426
00:31:14.200 --> 00:31:18.880
He began to keep a lot of
things from the minute one he had seen
427
00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:21.839
himself living only for the next few
months. He convinced himself that' s
428
00:31:21.880 --> 00:31:25.680
not what he wanted for him.
The idea was to find a new space
429
00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:30.039
to live in three threads. Also
at the first minute, unexplained events began
430
00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:34.960
to happen to him. He started
to hear that they were walking all over
431
00:31:34.960 --> 00:31:40.400
the apartment at night. He described
it as if someone very angry was going
432
00:31:40.519 --> 00:31:45.559
and coming all over the main hallway
of the apartment. Luis slept with the
433
00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:49.440
door locked. The sound of the
steps woke him up. He would come
434
00:31:49.480 --> 00:31:53.039
out quickly to see where the sound
came from and shut up. That was
435
00:31:53.079 --> 00:31:57.279
not the worst, so it happened
one afternoon, after arriving from the visit
436
00:31:57.400 --> 00:32:01.640
to the hospital, where it was
in the river, He felt as he
437
00:32:01.880 --> 00:32:07.000
entered that the house smelled of something
that was rotting, so he went to
438
00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:09.799
open all the windows to ventilate.
At the time he opened the vent that
439
00:32:09.839 --> 00:32:15.000
he gave to the other departments,
he observed that there was a girl standing
440
00:32:15.039 --> 00:32:17.000
in the room of the apartment on
the second floor. He didn' t
441
00:32:17.079 --> 00:32:21.519
get weird. He jammed the ventilator
so it wouldn' t close in the
442
00:32:21.519 --> 00:32:24.240
air. It was in those seconds
that he realized that there was no child
443
00:32:24.359 --> 00:32:30.079
there, only a mother without a
daughter. He started getting nervous. He
444
00:32:30.119 --> 00:32:34.279
closed the ventilator, searched for tape
and taped the opening handle. The days
445
00:32:34.400 --> 00:32:37.279
passed like a blink so much to
do, but these things kept happening.
446
00:32:38.039 --> 00:32:43.319
The footsteps were heard by the neighbor
below who claimed him for being so noisy
447
00:32:43.400 --> 00:32:47.400
at night. I remember my husband
sweating and rubbing his hands as he told
448
00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:53.000
me all those details. In addition, the scent of broken flowers began to
449
00:32:53.039 --> 00:32:58.400
reach my nose. He kept telling
me that all the time I thought about
450
00:32:58.759 --> 00:33:01.240
the girl, all the time was
to turn back and that I couldn'
451
00:33:01.240 --> 00:33:05.039
t do it anymore. So on
one occasion he came to tell a lady
452
00:33:05.119 --> 00:33:09.519
in a store near the first department
what we had experienced in order to find
453
00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:15.599
answers. She had told him something
horrible, that there were many people who
454
00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:20.480
thought that the girl had not fallen
by accident. Someone had hurt him.
455
00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:25.559
Mrs Betty, this little girl'
s mom, she was devastated. I
456
00:33:25.640 --> 00:33:30.400
had no answers at all. It
was still said that it had been an
457
00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:35.519
accident and powerless, he had moved
a few weeks to his sister' s
458
00:33:35.519 --> 00:33:39.920
house, leaving the apartment alone and
without the opportunity to rent it. It
459
00:33:39.960 --> 00:33:45.480
was said that Paola was played at
night. For him it had become a
460
00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:51.160
nightmare that death. I also listened
to the girl play when she slept.
461
00:33:51.759 --> 00:33:54.640
He told me that one night he
heard a girl laugh and throw something that
462
00:33:54.680 --> 00:33:59.519
sounded loud in a film. He
woke up fast. He went to see
463
00:33:59.559 --> 00:34:02.759
through the window of the room next
to where he slept and looked out the
464
00:34:04.319 --> 00:34:07.400
window on the small sheet roof of
the courtyard. On the first floor,
465
00:34:07.480 --> 00:34:12.199
first there were toys thrown out that
he knew was not in the day before.
466
00:34:12.719 --> 00:34:16.159
The light of some departments was on. I had no doubt that everyone
467
00:34:16.199 --> 00:34:21.719
had heard that. After three months
of terror, my husband was able to
468
00:34:21.760 --> 00:34:24.800
find the house we would live in. So the first chance he had to
469
00:34:24.920 --> 00:34:30.559
go to sleep over there he went
to try to rest. Far from that
470
00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:35.000
nightmare, he slept on the floor
of the current house with only two blankets,
471
00:34:35.719 --> 00:34:39.760
but with the happiness assured. I
figured there' d be no more
472
00:34:39.760 --> 00:34:42.920
paranormal harassment. That didn' t
happen. He dreamed of the beast being
473
00:34:42.960 --> 00:34:46.719
stalked by that drooling man. He
also appeared naked, covered in hair,
474
00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:52.119
but at the tip of his fingers
and between his lips he saw fresh blood
475
00:34:52.239 --> 00:34:55.800
running around staining the whole place.
He dreamed it in the new house that
476
00:34:55.800 --> 00:35:00.559
being with pointed ears with soulless eyes. She floats the voice of a child
477
00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:05.280
crying in the distance, asking for
help, asking that she not be found.
478
00:35:05.360 --> 00:35:08.599
The bad guy listened and Luis couldn' t see her, just a
479
00:35:08.719 --> 00:35:14.039
blood road that seemed to lead to
where the sound came from. That beast
480
00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:17.239
let his eyes shine, his lips
slammed, and he went after the girl
481
00:35:17.280 --> 00:35:22.880
' s screams, while Louis was
stunned without being able to move through thousands
482
00:35:22.960 --> 00:35:28.039
of worms coming out of his skin. That being fired a smell of rotten
483
00:35:28.159 --> 00:35:34.039
flowers and cigar stood up. He
walked crouching, licking the blood road on
484
00:35:34.039 --> 00:35:37.480
the floor. After the entity got
lost in the dark, the girl started
485
00:35:37.519 --> 00:35:43.960
screaming and screaming saying unnameable things.
My husband couldn' t tell me what
486
00:35:44.280 --> 00:35:46.559
else he dreamed because he started crying. He let go completely by terror.
487
00:35:47.480 --> 00:35:52.840
He could not contain the spasms of
his body, he grabbed his head saying
488
00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:58.079
that he had discovered that he had
ended the life of the little paola without
489
00:35:58.119 --> 00:36:00.400
being able to contain it, vomited
on the floor. After that, German
490
00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:05.639
began to cry loudly. I felt
the soul coming out of my body when
491
00:36:05.679 --> 00:36:09.199
I could see with the corner of
my eye that a shadow moved through the
492
00:36:09.239 --> 00:36:14.719
armchair of the room. Despite the
terror and the urge to escape from there
493
00:36:14.760 --> 00:36:19.960
my mind cleared up in a second
I had from very deep of my being
494
00:36:20.039 --> 00:36:22.480
the urgency to go with my Aunt
Helena, so I didn' t wait
495
00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:27.880
a second. I called my mom
to pass me her address. She freaked
496
00:36:27.880 --> 00:36:30.599
out, told me it was ten
o' clock at night. Still we
497
00:36:31.119 --> 00:36:37.599
asked for a car and went out
to my aunt' s house when we
498
00:36:37.880 --> 00:36:40.679
arrived, the Baby kept crying,
but when my aunt took it, after
499
00:36:40.719 --> 00:36:46.239
apologizing for the hour, Germán calmed
down as she entered her house. An
500
00:36:46.280 --> 00:36:51.719
aroma of the band filled my nose. I felt like I was relaxing instantly.
501
00:36:52.119 --> 00:36:55.480
There were three candles lit on the
altar that she had that which had
502
00:36:55.559 --> 00:36:58.559
been my grandmother' s and my
grandmother' s mother' s. My
503
00:36:59.519 --> 00:37:02.440
aunt was clear to us. I
knew why we went. My mom had
504
00:37:02.480 --> 00:37:07.280
warned him to be ready. She
was a tarotist. I thought of her
505
00:37:07.400 --> 00:37:12.000
because only she could help us.
You could tell us what was going on.
506
00:37:12.719 --> 00:37:15.000
I wasn' t seeing her for
years. She hugged me, as
507
00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:20.360
I remembered, like when I was
in high school. She began to move
508
00:37:20.400 --> 00:37:25.079
a herb binding around us and Germán
began coughing her. He told me to
509
00:37:25.159 --> 00:37:30.440
just carry it so I could take
another minute to clean up. After that
510
00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:34.559
he sat us on a large red
armchair that was in a large room where
511
00:37:34.559 --> 00:37:39.280
he apparently exercised the letter reading thing. After talking to us a little bit,
512
00:37:40.199 --> 00:37:44.840
he started throwing the cards on the
ground, making circles. Then he
513
00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:47.960
' d just settle everything and throw
three or four cards and then look at
514
00:37:47.960 --> 00:37:52.159
us. Then he told us that
what was after us was the demon that
515
00:37:52.280 --> 00:37:57.280
went after the children. He feeds
on them in many ways and, above
516
00:37:57.360 --> 00:38:00.119
all, could not tell us his
name not to invoke, because now what
517
00:38:00.159 --> 00:38:05.159
had to be done was to wipe
out his presence in Luis, whom he
518
00:38:05.239 --> 00:38:09.280
had been chasing to make use of. Things fit me in with the little
519
00:38:09.320 --> 00:38:15.480
one in the flats. This beast
married her until she took her away when
520
00:38:15.480 --> 00:38:20.280
she caused the accident. I believe
that when I arrived that demon felt my
521
00:38:20.320 --> 00:38:23.039
little one and wished him from the
beginning, for now that I have talked
522
00:38:23.159 --> 00:38:28.559
a lot with my aunt, it
is clear to me that demons always seek
523
00:38:28.639 --> 00:38:32.840
pure souls to corrupt them, but
also to cause him much suffering. Fortunately,
524
00:38:34.079 --> 00:38:37.920
we got off relatively well from all
that unfortunate. I find my husband.
525
00:38:38.039 --> 00:38:43.400
She' s been going with my
aunt once a month for half a
526
00:38:43.440 --> 00:38:46.199
year, and I' m going
to see her. A person whose name
527
00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:51.559
we don' t know is called
Agatha. Join my aunt in the cleans
528
00:38:51.679 --> 00:38:55.280
to free my husband from her bond. With that demon, I saw him
529
00:38:55.400 --> 00:38:59.840
too, just like he did.
We both saw it in our dreams,
530
00:39:00.599 --> 00:39:01.440
but I don' t understand how
the same thing didn' t happen to
531
00:39:01.440 --> 00:39:07.039
me. We don' t know
how long it' s going to take
532
00:39:07.039 --> 00:39:10.519
to achieve the abandonment of the dark
force of Luis' soul, but we
533
00:39:10.639 --> 00:39:13.360
' re going to keep coming for
him to make it. For my part,
534
00:39:13.480 --> 00:39:15.960
I can say that I am no
longer surprised by all this world and
535
00:39:16.079 --> 00:39:21.360
that I now live more calmly.
I know how to protect myself and my
536
00:39:21.360 --> 00:39:23.880
family. I wish everyone knew the
devil was loose and he doesn' t
537
00:39:24.039 --> 00:39:30.320
care if he doesn' t grow
up in it. Story written and adapted

by Patricia González
1
00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:12.039
The demon that devours children. When
we arrived at our new apartment, there
2
00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:16.519
was a novenarius for a death right
across the street, but on a floor
3
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:19.839
less than where we had moved.
I didn' t mean to interrupt or
4
00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:24.199
get in. I also discreetly let
my husband know that we put things in
5
00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:30.600
without bothering the people who were gathered
outside the entrance to the apartments. I
6
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:34.799
don' t remember very well how
many people there were, but there were
7
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:38.679
quite a few. So full was
the small apartment that they went out to
8
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:42.520
the stairs of the entrance to the
groups of five or six people. They
9
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:47.119
were all talking. They brought disposable
glasses, also cookies. I smelled a
10
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:51.479
lot of coffee and cinnamon flowers.
I thought for a moment it was a
11
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:54.679
funeral. I asked my husband if
he could see anything between the movement of
12
00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:59.039
things up, but he told me
that he greeted the neighbor on the next
13
00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:03.679
floor of our tower. He told
her that she was the last novenarius of
14
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:07.640
the daughter of the lady who lived
in that apartment. The man was in
15
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:11.879
a hurry for the errand bags he
was carrying and my husband asked no more.
16
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:15.959
They showed up to each other and
that' s all there is to
17
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:19.239
it. When we met again in
the moving truck, he said quietly that
18
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:23.879
the girl was there, but that
I did not worry that it was just
19
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:29.040
the ashes. I wasn' t
gonna get to see a whole dead man.
20
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:32.760
In his coffin, my skin was
raised to think about it. Then
21
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:37.000
I began to hurry as I climbed
up some boxes. I didn' t
22
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:41.040
want to spend much time going up
and down. I felt a greater discomfort
23
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:44.519
than usual. I' ve never
seen a dead man before. Perhaps she
24
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:48.560
was fortunate because, despite passing the
age of twenty, at that time she
25
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:53.920
had never attended any funeral home or
pantheon. I don' t know if
26
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:57.840
because we were starting a new stage
that I was hoping would be all pink
27
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:00.920
or because the same pregnancy brought me
to crazy hormones. But the scent of
28
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:07.120
flowers was unbearable. He swore he
could smell it even inside our apartment.
29
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:13.680
It was almost as if the two
apartment towers were full of flowers rotting to
30
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:17.319
date. I can' t stand
the scent of flowers called a white house,
31
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:22.280
because they smell like dead. We
just moved into the apartments at the
32
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:27.080
Colony Arcos. There the towers share
the same number. Only one letter is
33
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:30.759
increased to the number of each department
to make them a side A and a
34
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:35.240
side B. The funeral was on
the second floor on the A- side.
35
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:39.680
We moved to the third floor on
the B- side. As I
36
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:46.080
mentioned earlier, I was pregnant.
I was only three months old and we
37
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:50.280
had decided to move to a place
closer to the center, as we lived
38
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:53.840
in a village about three hours from
the center. After climbing up and firing
39
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:59.120
the gentlemen of the moving team,
we stayed for dinner without unpacking much,
40
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:04.080
but we had pizza and settled in
the chair without having set up our dining
41
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:07.560
table. We began to talk about
what we expected of the emotion that gave
42
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:10.560
us to begin in that place.
Now that we were going to be parents.
43
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:17.680
I remember clearly when the lights started
to go down slowly like blinking until
44
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:23.439
the light went out. Luis laughed
at me saying that we just needed to
45
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:28.759
close the day and before we could
answer him, we heard a few screams.
46
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.719
I got up in one tug and
came to the window facing into the
47
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:39.560
apartments. There could be a lot
of cell lights out there, moving down
48
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:46.520
the floor where the novenarius were.
That' s where the noises came from.
49
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:51.000
I knew it because I also heard
that several people began to calm those
50
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:54.800
who were praying. My husband was
sitting in the chair, still eating,
51
00:03:55.120 --> 00:04:00.319
had turned on the light on his
cell phone and asked me to come back
52
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:04.840
to finish dinner to go to bed
I was amazed that I was not curious
53
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:08.919
about what we were hearing. Without
electricity, we couldn' t do anything.
54
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:12.360
Until the next day. I didn' t listen to him. I
55
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:15.560
kept looking through the vents. I
told him that perhaps we should report the
56
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:19.439
light to the Commission. He was
really tired. I didn' t have
57
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:23.240
to see his face to know he
was upset. He wouldn' t answer
58
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:27.120
me. It' s one of
those people who get tired with bad tempers.
59
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:31.480
When I was trying to convince myself
to get away from seeing the people
60
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:36.519
of the novenarius with morbidness, I
made a quick move to look up and
61
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:42.439
down. I felt like something had
fallen off. That' s why I
62
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:46.480
checked my leg in the dark.
As I looked up, I heard the
63
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:50.000
screams again. I clearly saw how
all the lights on the cell phones that
64
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:56.040
were moving in the dark started blinking
in a very rare way. After that
65
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:59.959
they went out. That' s
why everyone screamed. At that moment.
66
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:03.639
It didn' t go through my
head to think it was weird that all
67
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:08.120
the cell phones went off. At
the same time, for a second I
68
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:12.680
came to see that a little light
moved through the darkness and then went out.
69
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:17.040
The sounds of amazement flooded the night. The people in the department were
70
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:23.439
frightened by the appearance of that vision. The feeling that the darkness was deeper
71
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:27.839
little by little and the crying of
a woman who did not stop scared me
72
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:31.120
so much that I could not say
anything. I also felt the tips of
73
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:35.959
my icy fingers because I was shaking. I felt like I had to run
74
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:41.000
or something, but staying there was
no option, so I went fast with
75
00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:45.000
my husband, but I stumbled over
something I had left on the floor.
76
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:49.000
It was a box that had the
tools to put together the chairs and the
77
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:54.639
table and I fell by fitting one
of the tools and, as I was
78
00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:57.600
going straight ahead, I fell into
the box with one knee inside. So
79
00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:00.680
the drama increased, as we went
out in search of a clinic open at
80
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:04.920
seven o' clock on a Sunday
night to be able to attend to my
81
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:10.800
knee cut. Fortunately, it wasn' t serious, but he wouldn'
82
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:13.360
t let me move for a whole
week, as it hurt a lot.
83
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:18.560
Unfortunately, that would only trigger a
terrible crisis of anxiety, because not being
84
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:24.360
able to move well worried me very
much, but I will go little by
85
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:28.240
little to tell what happened, because
my doctors believe that it gave me stress
86
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:30.879
from pregnancy, but I know what
I saw I was terrified to see a
87
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:33.560
light. It has as a reflection
of a body, a small body that
88
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:38.079
ran to the bottom of the apartment
until it was lost. After that,
89
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:42.519
the subject of my neighbors' conversation
had not been our move. It was
90
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:46.600
the appearance of the ghost during the
girl' s novenarius, as I say.
91
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:49.959
Some people said it appeared briefly as
a light in the middle of the
92
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:56.279
darkness of the night. I was
scared. He listened to the conversations of
93
00:06:56.279 --> 00:07:00.120
the neighbors, always more communicative outside
their homes, who began to spread the
94
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:05.639
rumor that Mrs Betty' s daughter
had appeared during the rosary. Some said
95
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:11.560
someone had seen a little light move. Others said they saw that he hid
96
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:15.360
behind one of the chairs when the
light went away some more that had appeared
97
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:19.040
to them by touching them. At
that moment I felt that even the air
98
00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:24.560
was missing when I learned that it
was the novenarius of an eight- year
99
00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:29.079
- old girl named Paola and that, apparently, I too had managed to
100
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:33.560
see that spirit before hitting my knee, I know that I am not the
101
00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:39.000
most patient person. I already had
my stress episodes that kept me from being
102
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:41.800
calm, but I don' t
know how to explain it. I was
103
00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:46.079
afraid to hear of a little dead
woman. The rotten flowers still smelled in
104
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:49.519
my house, but the worst was
that vision. I know I saw a
105
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:54.639
ghost and not the ones people count
as spectra. It had only been a
106
00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:58.360
small ball of light, but that
was enough for me to understand that it
107
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:03.000
was not normal and I could not
explain that either. I started thinking a
108
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:07.040
lot. That weird feeling invaded me
again. I had to get out of
109
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:11.519
there. I was in danger.
Something bad could happen to me, but
110
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:16.800
especially something bad could happen to my
baby. While I was thinking, the
111
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:22.560
neighbors were still talking. I kept
hearing things about the little girl who died.
112
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:28.199
They said their favorite color how they
liked to dress as well as how
113
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:33.480
much they liked to go play with
their little plastic dolls on the apartment stairs.
114
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:37.240
Then, someone said they heard the
girl playing on the stairs at night.
115
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:45.159
His voice was very low and some
laughter was what he heard. Maybe
116
00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:48.840
his ghost was there. They said
because he fell off the fourth floor,
117
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:54.159
but no one knew how. Betty
told them that the cops, when they
118
00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:58.200
arrived, were surprised. It was
an accident, but the body looked really
119
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:01.840
bad. I couldn' t stop
thinking about the light I saw or the
120
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:07.080
weird cold around me. I was
afraid I' d get out and be
121
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:09.720
able to hear those laughs on the
stairs. Something was wrong, but I
122
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:13.000
didn' t know how to explain
that girl seemed close, even though she
123
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:18.279
wasn' t in this world.
I was getting dizzy trying to calm down,
124
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:22.000
breathing deep. The vision kept appearing
in my dreams. I began to
125
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:26.519
think it was a very serious mistake
to move to that place. One afternoon,
126
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:30.679
my husband went from place to place, settling things in place, while
127
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:35.600
trying to entertain me with a maternity
magazine. I was sitting next to the
128
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:41.120
window facing the buildings across the street
and looking out loud because I heard a
129
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:46.200
weird noise, I looked at some
hands drawn on the windows of the deceased
130
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:52.000
girl' s apartment. I kept
a scream breathing deeply to calm the impression,
131
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:56.399
I had no way to explain coherently
what I had seen. My husband
132
00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:03.919
had been too impressed. When a
few minutes passed, I came to tell
133
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:07.120
him that I had seen a ghost
the day we arrived and at that time
134
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:09.360
I had seen him again. But
as he looked out the window, he
135
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:15.000
saw not a single trace indicating the
hands I saw He looked at me with
136
00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:18.039
much understanding. He told me not
to worry about him breathing, that he
137
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:22.200
' d see me feel comfortable.
He asked me how it had been.
138
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:26.679
I told him that through the ventilates
I saw a light moving through the darkness
139
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:30.039
his face. He told me everything
didn' t believe me. The next
140
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:33.679
day he confessed to me that he
did believe in ghosts, but that he
141
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:37.960
did not think that it would have
been. He asked me to try to
142
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:43.519
calm down He left the vents where
I looked that night permanently closed. The
143
00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:48.399
next night, after a very heavy
day because we were on the clock settling
144
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:54.159
what we could, as I would
stay alone at home, we ended up
145
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:58.039
very tired. Still, I couldn' t sleep. I was turning uncomfortable.
146
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:01.639
In the end I resigned and read
to me. I sat in bed
147
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:05.679
while Luis snored next to me.
The room was completely dark. I looked
148
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:09.840
at the curtains and realized it wasn' t on. In the light of
149
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:13.759
the corner lighting, a strange cold
in the middle of May raised my skin.
150
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:18.200
I touched my fingers with one hand
and another, trying to understand what
151
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:22.919
was happening to me. I thought
I was too tired because I saw cloudy
152
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:28.039
as asleep, but I was awake. I didn' t want to wake
153
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:31.320
my husband up, so I resigned
myself to look at nothing for a while
154
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:35.000
until I understood if I felt bad
for some reason. I began to ask
155
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:39.639
him goodbye help, but he diverted
from my concentration a very subtle aroma of
156
00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:43.440
flowers that brought to my mind the
image of the little light that was in
157
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:48.960
the apartment where the novenarius was.
Also those hands in the window. I
158
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:52.159
felt the blood drop out of my
head so fast I ended up dizzy.
159
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:56.360
I hadn' t thought about the
ghost thing any more. For being worried
160
00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:01.799
about the move. The hoop or
increased. I started mumbling at some point
161
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:07.440
without realizing that everything was okay.
Again and again trying to convince me,
162
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:11.240
despite having the heavy sleep, my
husband woke up dry and immediately asked me
163
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:16.960
if I was okay. Taking my
shoulders in the dark I saw his eyes,
164
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:20.279
I saw him weird. I took
his arms and told him I smelled
165
00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:24.960
Flores, but he didn' t
listen to me. I had to repeat
166
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:28.399
it twice or three more, but
he was open- eyed without saying anything.
167
00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:33.279
I was looking at nothing. Then
he went back to bed. In
168
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:35.200
the end, I said loudly that
I smelled Flores. He sighed. He
169
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:39.440
said yes, he smelled, but
he just turned around and tried to turn
170
00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:41.440
on the lamp in his bureau,
but he didn' t light it.
171
00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:46.759
I yelled at him to wake up
and at that moment he sat on the
172
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:50.679
bed. He looked abnormal. He
tried to turn on the lamp twice as
173
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:54.879
long as he stopped to see what
was going on. He got up to
174
00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:58.200
check if the pills in the fuse
box were running out, hadn' t
175
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:03.120
gone down or something. His flip
flops echoed on the floor. I heard
176
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:07.399
some of the neighbors' doors were
gnashing. Apparently, other people had realized
177
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:11.600
that there was no light. Luis
told me everything looked good. He also
178
00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:15.919
snuck out the door and told me
there was no light on the street.
179
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:20.639
I heard him stumble several times before
he got to the bathroom, where he
180
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:24.679
stopped quietly. He stayed there without
saying anything. Instead of staying calm,
181
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:31.759
I got more nervous. The darkness. The weird cold and the scent of
182
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:39.360
dead flowers were making me nauseous.
I felt my stomach contract ignoring the pain
183
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:43.039
of the knee. I got up
carelessly. I ended up throwing up in
184
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:48.600
the sink. I stumbled upon my
husband. When I ran to the bathroom,
185
00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:52.000
I took my nightgown and dried my
face. He was holding my hair.
186
00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:56.120
While I was doing this, I
heard a sound of a very low
187
00:13:56.120 --> 00:14:01.919
voice. It was behind me perhaps
somewhat far away, but I reached to
188
00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:05.960
hear it, I know that everything
was dark, that it was impossible to
189
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:11.440
distinguish something, but I know what
I saw from the room that was behind
190
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:15.519
my back from its darkness, because
there were only the boxes closed from the
191
00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:20.440
few things of my baby I saw
that a figure reflected in the mirror I
192
00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:22.919
saw so sharp, despite being dark, it was the face of a girl
193
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:26.600
in the darkness. Then the light
came in seconds and I couldn' t
194
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:31.600
keep my mouth shut. A little
choking scream. It came out for that
195
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:35.759
second I knew that what I saw
was a little girl was small, like
196
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:39.039
more of a chaparra than a normal, hairy, lactated, and very white
197
00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:43.919
girl. His round face seemed to
have no expression. She was serious,
198
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:48.960
with her mouth a little open and
her eyes very black. Never in my
199
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:54.600
life will I forget that face.
All the lights in the house were out.
200
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:58.399
It was only on the one in
the back room. That' s
201
00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:03.120
where I saw that little girl.
After that I began to tremble uncontrollably,
202
00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:05.679
even though I was breathing to calm
down. He didn' t make it.
203
00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:11.320
I had tears coming out, but
I couldn' t say what I
204
00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:15.039
saw. I only told my husband
that I had seen something that had made
205
00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:18.759
me very afraid. My husband took
me to the edge of the bed to
206
00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:24.320
sit down. He asked me if
I could get water or something, but
207
00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:26.960
I couldn' t say anything.
Luis started to heat water to give me
208
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:33.200
a tea room light next to where
we slept. The one where I saw
209
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:35.279
that girl or her face, because
the body wasn' t sharp. His
210
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:41.399
round face his huge eyes and a
little of his shoulders stood out from the
211
00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:46.639
darkness. My heart was coming out
of my throat of terror, whining,
212
00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:48.679
I went to my husband' s
side to hug him, I began to
213
00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:52.480
cry. He didn' t say
anything, he never said anything. At
214
00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:56.279
that moment I spent the worst night
of my life and the next day I
215
00:15:56.320 --> 00:16:00.799
went first hour to look for file
to get consultation, imagining that I could
216
00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:06.200
be seeing things for some reason,
because the next day it didn' t
217
00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:07.399
seem normal to see a ghost.
I' m not a person who doesn
218
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:12.399
' t believe in ghosts, but
I was worried that I was going crazy
219
00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:17.480
about a ghost of a child.
It was crazy. The doctor told me
220
00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:21.679
he didn' t have anything.
He sent me painkillers and I got paranoid.
221
00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:26.720
On my way home. I could
only think of the girl she was
222
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:32.720
there. I couldn' t take
that face off my head and close my
223
00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:37.440
eyes and there I was I was
going to look in the mirror after going
224
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:41.360
to the bathroom and for a moment
I felt like I saw her again looking
225
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:42.519
at me with those horribly black eyes, like there was nothing in them.
226
00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:48.320
It was a feeling of seeing all
the bad in them. That' s
227
00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:53.039
why I started not seeing the reflexes
of all surfaces because I didn' t
228
00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:55.559
want to find her there alone and
in the middle of the day. It
229
00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:59.960
would be more than a hallucination.
I was afraid I' d even get
230
00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:03.200
locked up in a shrink or something. I arrived at the apartment at ten
231
00:17:03.319 --> 00:17:07.480
o' clock with Luis. I' d stayed at my mom' s
232
00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:11.400
all afternoon. I didn' t
want to go back and be alone,
233
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:15.440
even though I did three hours to
go see her more the ones that piled
234
00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:21.240
up to return my whole body seemed
to ask me to stay away, because
235
00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:22.480
even a few red hives came out
in my arms. The worst thing is
236
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:29.079
that those hives had the circular shapes
before entering the apartment. He told me
237
00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:30.599
he couldn' t see for sure
that he' d come back. Maybe
238
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:36.000
I had to wait for the pills
to work out that if I spent a
239
00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:41.319
night out, I could get better
soon that we were wrong it wasn'
240
00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:47.680
t rest. There was an entity
there stalking us that night and I couldn
241
00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:51.119
' t eat the dream. I
was completely laying down an incredible heaviness.
242
00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:56.319
He had taken over me. I
began to feel pulled as if moved to
243
00:17:56.319 --> 00:18:00.960
bed, heavy and confused little by
little, I fell into bed, I
244
00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:03.960
don' t remember how I lay
down, the change of clothes, or
245
00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:07.400
anything else. I felt like I
was passing out. I began to dream
246
00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:11.559
of something I will never forget.
I was walking around the apartment. It
247
00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:17.480
was all arranged, with different furniture
as if it were another time it looked
248
00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:21.680
dark. There were plastic bags in
some corners, as well as stuff crumbling
249
00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:26.759
into furniture. Also on the table
is an old bony woman with her lips
250
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:30.200
badly painted red and her face broken
with deep grooves of old make- up.
251
00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:36.359
I was sitting smoking on a double
bed, right in the room where
252
00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:41.319
my husband had put our bedroom.
The woman didn' t look at me,
253
00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:44.240
turned her cigarette off on the mattress. I coughed, too. I
254
00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:47.920
felt the smoke so much that I
was drowning. When I looked in the
255
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:52.240
other room, it was empty.
There was only one chair in it there
256
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:56.839
was a man with a face with
many scars. I looked without moving through
257
00:18:56.880 --> 00:18:59.920
the window. It didn' t
look like he saw me from the o
258
00:18:59.920 --> 00:19:02.880
' s either. The other side
of the window saw the space towards the
259
00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:07.240
neighbors' courtyard, also a gap
between building and building. Then the twin
260
00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:14.079
window in the other apartment across the
street I approached the man I had completely
261
00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:18.200
black eyes I looked down. As
I adjusted to his height, I took
262
00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:22.799
a look to see what that horrible
man saw. From the vents. With
263
00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:26.519
a mirror on the floor below,
you could see the window of a little
264
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:29.920
girl' s room. She had
curtains with her barbie doll in blue and
265
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:34.039
pink. The girl played sitting in
her bed. The hands moved small plastic
266
00:19:34.119 --> 00:19:41.480
wrists along the edge of the ventilates. She was the girl that I saw
267
00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:45.079
with her eyes empty, with her
mouth open, with pale skin, moving
268
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:51.599
her hands making me play, but
I looked more like a girl' s
269
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:56.759
doll that moved than a real girl
playing I jumped back, hitting the man
270
00:19:56.839 --> 00:19:59.519
a little bit in the chair he
didn' t move. I panicked.
271
00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:04.240
It was as if that man had
stood up like an animal. Her eyes
272
00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:11.200
shone reddish and I felt my legs
fail. I heard my weight fall to
273
00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:15.799
the ground in a dry blow I
sat recharged on the wall but unable to
274
00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:21.000
move, my hands hung at my
sides. The man got up, had
275
00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:25.799
no clothes, was naked, and
was covered in some parts by a dense
276
00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:27.759
layer of hair. When I saw
him straight ahead, I was on the
277
00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:32.039
ground and he stood up, it
seemed to me like he was getting bigger.
278
00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:37.119
I could observe that his small ears
ended in tip and gradually a smile
279
00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:41.400
was drawn, a dense drool began
to come out of between his lips.
280
00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:47.880
Jadeaba shone his eyes brighter and directed
them to my belly and wanted to pray.
281
00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:51.799
For the first time in my life, I felt the need to pray
282
00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:56.200
everything I didn' t know but
couldn' t, I couldn' t
283
00:20:56.240 --> 00:20:56.599
concrete anything, I didn' t
remember things well and the tongue. I
284
00:20:56.640 --> 00:21:02.400
got stuck. That man b so
gave him a laugh from inside his mouth.
285
00:21:02.920 --> 00:21:07.119
Semi opened the drool, it scurried
through the chest until a scent of
286
00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:11.400
rotten flowers fell to the ground.
He started to get away from that being
287
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:15.200
and I felt like I was dying
because I slowly saw blacker around me.
288
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:21.039
As that thing approached me, I
woke up in the ambulance. My husband
289
00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:25.000
was crying next to me. I
felt I was coming back from a dream,
290
00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:27.240
but the reality is that I had
come down too far. My breath
291
00:21:27.640 --> 00:21:33.079
was wearing an oxygen mask and it
was bitten by an arm. That'
292
00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:37.960
s where I was getting meds I
woke up crying. My husband was crying
293
00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:41.640
with me, but I don'
t think either of us knew why we
294
00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:45.680
weren' t talking. He was
crying and I just remembered that man.
295
00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:48.960
Horrible. Thank God. We made
it to the hospital. Fortunately, my
296
00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:52.960
baby was fine, but they didn' t understand what had happened to me,
297
00:21:53.160 --> 00:21:56.599
because the studies didn' t say
anything. The most curious thing is
298
00:21:56.680 --> 00:22:00.279
that the episode didn' t repeat
itself again and that was the weirdest thing
299
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:04.880
for doctors. For my part,
I felt calm. I was sure of
300
00:22:04.920 --> 00:22:10.519
what that beast was doing to me. He wanted to kill me He lived
301
00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:15.519
in that apartment. It was disgusting
to look at him sitting in that chair
302
00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:19.599
just to look out. For me
to be in the hospital that time had
303
00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:25.039
not been bad. On the contrary, he could rest the apartment. It
304
00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:30.000
felt bad. The atmosphere smelled awful. Everything gave a feeling of being locked
305
00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:33.200
up in the hospital. I did
not feel observed or persecuted, so I
306
00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:37.200
had made a decision. I'
d have to leave the apartment. I
307
00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:41.720
couldn' t go back. The
problem was, as I said to my
308
00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:45.880
husband, what I wanted little by
little. The time came for me to
309
00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:51.039
discharge without knowing what I had,
because the doctors thought it was just stress.
310
00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:55.400
All he could do was wait and
return with the presence of that child
311
00:22:55.519 --> 00:22:59.799
or that horrible man. That'
s how time came n the afternoon,
312
00:22:59.960 --> 00:23:02.119
before it' s time to leave, my husband came to visit me.
313
00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:07.359
I wanted to fix the details for
my worried discharge. I tried to be
314
00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:10.599
the least clear about what I'
d dreamed of. I didn' t
315
00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:12.519
want them to think I was crazy. It had been a clear dream,
316
00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:18.200
but only a dream, so,
no matter how horrible it was, I
317
00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:21.480
couldn' t use it as a
justification for having to change our homes.
318
00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:26.640
Again, my husband came up with
the idea of not going back to the
319
00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:30.680
apartment because he was convinced that something
was wrong with the environment where we had
320
00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:33.920
moved. He told me he felt
it had not been a good place for
321
00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:38.400
me or the baby, so he
asked me to consider talking to his parents
322
00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:45.039
to stay with them for a while. I immediately agreed to move in with
323
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:48.759
my mom. The rest of the
pregnancy. My husband left quietly, didn
324
00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:52.680
' t touch the subject again,
and I didn' t step on that
325
00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:56.519
apartment again. After a few months
of Luis living alone there, he looked
326
00:23:56.519 --> 00:24:02.359
for a way to find another place
to live was much less close to some
327
00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:06.440
main avenue, but that didn'
t matter to me, because there I
328
00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:07.839
didn' t feel the feeling that
I was freezing again. The blood Louis
329
00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:12.960
was distant those months. I know
it was because of the distance, too,
330
00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:15.759
because we couldn' t see each
other anymore than on weekends. But
331
00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:19.839
from the time I left the hospital
the fifth month after my pregnancy, until
332
00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:25.839
the moment my source broke, I
felt weird. He always looked tired,
333
00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:32.079
also his gaze felt less luminous,
his skin looked dry. In a short
334
00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:36.200
time it seemed that he had grown
old, but as much as I asked
335
00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:38.759
him what he had, he answered
nothing. He passed the birth of Germán,
336
00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:42.079
which I thought would be more difficult
by how. My friends had always
337
00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:47.160
painted it on me, but it
went very well. I felt comfortable,
338
00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:52.039
despite the pain from the caesarean section. He was born healthy in his weight
339
00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:56.440
and without any health problems, something
that worried me about everything that had happened
340
00:24:56.559 --> 00:25:00.039
during pregnancy, about the blow to
the knee, the la, anxiety and
341
00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:04.039
fear. When they let my husband
in to see us, he told me
342
00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:07.920
that he had found a good place
to take us to live. The three
343
00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:11.960
together, as we had always imagined, was the second floor in a house.
344
00:25:12.279 --> 00:25:17.319
It wasn' t that big,
two rooms, living and dining together,
345
00:25:17.799 --> 00:25:22.559
the kitchen next to a small laundry
yard. Nothing unusual happened on arrival,
346
00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:26.559
but I was worried. I had
a hunch that we weren' t
347
00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:30.200
all right. As I stepped on
the new home for the first time,
348
00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:34.119
the feeling of heaviness, he told
me that this was not over when I
349
00:25:34.119 --> 00:25:37.559
arrived. It was a day of
sunshine. The clear sky. The music
350
00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:42.319
of the neighbors was heard far away
and our new neighbors from the sides and
351
00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:48.160
below approached us to live together and
to meet us. I told myself that
352
00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:52.000
was a good sign. I felt
bad for walking around thinking that paranormal things
353
00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:56.880
were going to continue. Luis told
me that' s what I wanted to
354
00:25:56.880 --> 00:26:00.960
think. So is he. I
also remember those words that I think he
355
00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:03.039
wanted to warn me that things weren' t going very well, but I
356
00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:08.039
couldn' t admit it. It
was with that comment that I realized something
357
00:26:08.119 --> 00:26:14.119
had happened in his mind or something
that I figured maybe I had nightmares like
358
00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:18.200
me, but unlike my personality,
my husband' s is very different.
359
00:26:18.279 --> 00:26:23.279
He talks a lot, but never
about deep issues or things like dreams or
360
00:26:23.279 --> 00:26:26.720
intuition. I am more of those
who feel that their intuition is a little
361
00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:32.000
more awake and I have always believed
that I have the gift of grasping things
362
00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:36.799
a little more. Unlike most people, as one trusts, I did not
363
00:26:36.839 --> 00:26:40.920
think from the beginning that arriving right
in the middle of a novenarius could be
364
00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:45.680
a problem. I' m not
superstitious. Besides, I don' t
365
00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:49.319
think anyone would believe it as a
sign of bad luck or anything like that.
366
00:26:51.839 --> 00:26:55.960
Little by little the days passed.
Like any couple with a newborn,
367
00:26:56.079 --> 00:27:00.640
we slept little, we lived worried
and every five minutes we had to change
368
00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:03.759
a diaper. But in the middle
of normality, I started to feel restless
369
00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:10.039
about something so it was done too
much to do just my imagination or intuition,
370
00:27:10.759 --> 00:27:12.079
but I couldn' t give it
a name. I didn' t
371
00:27:12.119 --> 00:27:15.920
know he was stalking us. I
was sure I felt something, but I
372
00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:18.519
didn' t see anything. In
the house. It began to be evident
373
00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:22.839
that I saw things that I was
already seeing something physical. I tried to
374
00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:27.119
convince myself that I imagined something was
happening walking next to me, but in
375
00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:32.119
the end I never saw anything,
maybe a brief shadow, if anything,
376
00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:37.720
but I didn' t really define
anything with my eyes, only the sensations
377
00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:42.720
tormented me. I saw those shadows. Some objects appeared elsewhere. I also
378
00:27:42.759 --> 00:27:49.119
started with constant nightmares, but I
was trying to disguise my terror by waking
379
00:27:49.200 --> 00:27:52.880
up or noticing something moved from the
place. I figured they' d call
380
00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:56.079
me crazy, because at that time
I really thought that whoever saw me scared
381
00:27:56.160 --> 00:28:00.319
by nothing or dreaming nightmares, was
going to tell me that I' d
382
00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:06.559
be put in a psychiatric institution.
In the fourth month I felt my head
383
00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:11.440
explode. They started giving me such
powerful headaches that I couldn' t have
384
00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:17.200
sunlight. By lighting the house,
I took the habit of being almost all
385
00:28:17.240 --> 00:28:22.039
day in the darkness of my room. When Luis went to work, I
386
00:28:22.039 --> 00:28:26.119
would go back to bed with the
child and put two blankets in the window
387
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:30.079
to prevent the light from sneaking into
the bedroom. It didn' t leave
388
00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:34.000
the spotlight on the room. I
didn' t see the cell phone,
389
00:28:34.319 --> 00:28:37.960
or do some activity to pass the
time. I was awake in the dark
390
00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:42.359
for a long time, attending to
the little German. Only in this way
391
00:28:42.440 --> 00:28:48.880
could I feel less and less sore
in the head and less concerned about the
392
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:53.200
sensations that were becoming more and more
intense. Fortunately, my son grew up
393
00:28:53.200 --> 00:28:56.599
well, I saw him calmly.
The consultations showed that things were fine,
394
00:28:57.079 --> 00:29:02.759
but when I saw myself in a
mirror, I hardly recognized myself. The
395
00:29:02.839 --> 00:29:07.000
shiners were huge. I got down
on weight I always looked nervous. I
396
00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:11.799
remember well, one afternoon when I
went to bathe, I felt that when
397
00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:17.039
the water touched my skin it shed
a faint aroma of flowers, so I
398
00:29:17.160 --> 00:29:21.759
removed the quick soap from my skin, deciding that I would not use shampoo
399
00:29:21.759 --> 00:29:25.880
either. But that feeling of smelling
dead flowers wouldn' t leave me alone.
400
00:29:26.599 --> 00:29:30.440
I got out quickly without rinsing my
body well because I heard the baby
401
00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:34.240
cry. Luis would walk him in
his arms from one side to the other
402
00:29:34.359 --> 00:29:37.839
of the room, looking for him
to calm down. I was singing to
403
00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:41.440
him while he was saconating the child. I turned around and stood dry The
404
00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:47.000
girl' s reflection was clear in
the fridge, my legs were bent,
405
00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:49.880
my eyes were covered, I didn' t want to see her. After
406
00:29:49.920 --> 00:29:53.240
a few seconds I took my hands
off my face. I looked at Luis.
407
00:29:53.480 --> 00:29:56.920
He was sitting in a chair.
I was hugging the kid. My
408
00:29:56.960 --> 00:30:02.799
husband was pale. He saw her, too. I should have been very
409
00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:04.720
scared, but I didn' t. If he saw her, she wasn
410
00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:08.319
' t crazy. If he showed
up, it was a sign that I
411
00:30:08.440 --> 00:30:12.799
wasn' t going crazy. Feeling
stalked. Indeed, it was happening.
412
00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:18.200
The ghost had been following us.
I took my son from Luis' arms,
413
00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:22.640
who looked at me surprised. He
was thinking something deep. That'
414
00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:26.519
s why he didn' t even
see when I came back with the baby
415
00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:29.240
door, where I put the little
one to sleep quietly. We had to
416
00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:34.920
talk after a while of starting an
argument because I was sick of feeling crazy
417
00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:37.839
and because he hadn' t told
me what was wrong with him. We
418
00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:42.640
relaxed. He told me that he
thought he was becoming paranoid or that he
419
00:30:42.680 --> 00:30:48.599
was flat schizophrenic because he listened to
a girl' s voice. I was
420
00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:52.079
upset, but I said no more. He started telling me what happened in
421
00:30:52.119 --> 00:30:55.920
the apartment. After I went to
my mom' s house, Luis had
422
00:30:56.039 --> 00:30:59.480
returned to the apartment. I didn' t know how to feel. I
423
00:30:59.839 --> 00:31:03.000
didn' t understand what was happening
to me, but the doctor had told
424
00:31:03.039 --> 00:31:08.319
her to be patient, as it
was probably some chemical changes in my body
425
00:31:08.319 --> 00:31:12.279
that assured her that being close to
my mom would improve my mental state.
426
00:31:14.200 --> 00:31:18.880
He began to keep a lot of
things from the minute one he had seen
427
00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:21.839
himself living only for the next few
months. He convinced himself that' s
428
00:31:21.880 --> 00:31:25.680
not what he wanted for him.
The idea was to find a new space
429
00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:30.039
to live in three threads. Also
at the first minute, unexplained events began
430
00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:34.960
to happen to him. He started
to hear that they were walking all over
431
00:31:34.960 --> 00:31:40.400
the apartment at night. He described
it as if someone very angry was going
432
00:31:40.519 --> 00:31:45.559
and coming all over the main hallway
of the apartment. Luis slept with the
433
00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:49.440
door locked. The sound of the
steps woke him up. He would come
434
00:31:49.480 --> 00:31:53.039
out quickly to see where the sound
came from and shut up. That was
435
00:31:53.079 --> 00:31:57.279
not the worst, so it happened
one afternoon, after arriving from the visit
436
00:31:57.400 --> 00:32:01.640
to the hospital, where it was
in the river, He felt as he
437
00:32:01.880 --> 00:32:07.000
entered that the house smelled of something
that was rotting, so he went to
438
00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:09.799
open all the windows to ventilate.
At the time he opened the vent that
439
00:32:09.839 --> 00:32:15.000
he gave to the other departments,
he observed that there was a girl standing
440
00:32:15.039 --> 00:32:17.000
in the room of the apartment on
the second floor. He didn' t
441
00:32:17.079 --> 00:32:21.519
get weird. He jammed the ventilator
so it wouldn' t close in the
442
00:32:21.519 --> 00:32:24.240
air. It was in those seconds
that he realized that there was no child
443
00:32:24.359 --> 00:32:30.079
there, only a mother without a
daughter. He started getting nervous. He
444
00:32:30.119 --> 00:32:34.279
closed the ventilator, searched for tape
and taped the opening handle. The days
445
00:32:34.400 --> 00:32:37.279
passed like a blink so much to
do, but these things kept happening.
446
00:32:38.039 --> 00:32:43.319
The footsteps were heard by the neighbor
below who claimed him for being so noisy
447
00:32:43.400 --> 00:32:47.400
at night. I remember my husband
sweating and rubbing his hands as he told
448
00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:53.000
me all those details. In addition, the scent of broken flowers began to
449
00:32:53.039 --> 00:32:58.400
reach my nose. He kept telling
me that all the time I thought about
450
00:32:58.759 --> 00:33:01.240
the girl, all the time was
to turn back and that I couldn'
451
00:33:01.240 --> 00:33:05.039
t do it anymore. So on
one occasion he came to tell a lady
452
00:33:05.119 --> 00:33:09.519
in a store near the first department
what we had experienced in order to find
453
00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:15.599
answers. She had told him something
horrible, that there were many people who
454
00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:20.480
thought that the girl had not fallen
by accident. Someone had hurt him.
455
00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:25.559
Mrs Betty, this little girl'
s mom, she was devastated. I
456
00:33:25.640 --> 00:33:30.400
had no answers at all. It
was still said that it had been an
457
00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:35.519
accident and powerless, he had moved
a few weeks to his sister' s
458
00:33:35.519 --> 00:33:39.920
house, leaving the apartment alone and
without the opportunity to rent it. It
459
00:33:39.960 --> 00:33:45.480
was said that Paola was played at
night. For him it had become a
460
00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:51.160
nightmare that death. I also listened
to the girl play when she slept.
461
00:33:51.759 --> 00:33:54.640
He told me that one night he
heard a girl laugh and throw something that
462
00:33:54.680 --> 00:33:59.519
sounded loud in a film. He
woke up fast. He went to see
463
00:33:59.559 --> 00:34:02.759
through the window of the room next
to where he slept and looked out the
464
00:34:04.319 --> 00:34:07.400
window on the small sheet roof of
the courtyard. On the first floor,
465
00:34:07.480 --> 00:34:12.199
first there were toys thrown out that
he knew was not in the day before.
466
00:34:12.719 --> 00:34:16.159
The light of some departments was on. I had no doubt that everyone
467
00:34:16.199 --> 00:34:21.719
had heard that. After three months
of terror, my husband was able to
468
00:34:21.760 --> 00:34:24.800
find the house we would live in. So the first chance he had to
469
00:34:24.920 --> 00:34:30.559
go to sleep over there he went
to try to rest. Far from that
470
00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:35.000
nightmare, he slept on the floor
of the current house with only two blankets,
471
00:34:35.719 --> 00:34:39.760
but with the happiness assured. I
figured there' d be no more
472
00:34:39.760 --> 00:34:42.920
paranormal harassment. That didn' t
happen. He dreamed of the beast being
473
00:34:42.960 --> 00:34:46.719
stalked by that drooling man. He
also appeared naked, covered in hair,
474
00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:52.119
but at the tip of his fingers
and between his lips he saw fresh blood
475
00:34:52.239 --> 00:34:55.800
running around staining the whole place.
He dreamed it in the new house that
476
00:34:55.800 --> 00:35:00.559
being with pointed ears with soulless eyes. She floats the voice of a child
477
00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:05.280
crying in the distance, asking for
help, asking that she not be found.
478
00:35:05.360 --> 00:35:08.599
The bad guy listened and Luis couldn' t see her, just a
479
00:35:08.719 --> 00:35:14.039
blood road that seemed to lead to
where the sound came from. That beast
480
00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:17.239
let his eyes shine, his lips
slammed, and he went after the girl
481
00:35:17.280 --> 00:35:22.880
' s screams, while Louis was
stunned without being able to move through thousands
482
00:35:22.960 --> 00:35:28.039
of worms coming out of his skin. That being fired a smell of rotten
483
00:35:28.159 --> 00:35:34.039
flowers and cigar stood up. He
walked crouching, licking the blood road on
484
00:35:34.039 --> 00:35:37.480
the floor. After the entity got
lost in the dark, the girl started
485
00:35:37.519 --> 00:35:43.960
screaming and screaming saying unnameable things.
My husband couldn' t tell me what
486
00:35:44.280 --> 00:35:46.559
else he dreamed because he started crying. He let go completely by terror.
487
00:35:47.480 --> 00:35:52.840
He could not contain the spasms of
his body, he grabbed his head saying
488
00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:58.079
that he had discovered that he had
ended the life of the little paola without
489
00:35:58.119 --> 00:36:00.400
being able to contain it, vomited
on the floor. After that, German
490
00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:05.639
began to cry loudly. I felt
the soul coming out of my body when
491
00:36:05.679 --> 00:36:09.199
I could see with the corner of
my eye that a shadow moved through the
492
00:36:09.239 --> 00:36:14.719
armchair of the room. Despite the
terror and the urge to escape from there
493
00:36:14.760 --> 00:36:19.960
my mind cleared up in a second
I had from very deep of my being
494
00:36:20.039 --> 00:36:22.480
the urgency to go with my Aunt
Helena, so I didn' t wait
495
00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:27.880
a second. I called my mom
to pass me her address. She freaked
496
00:36:27.880 --> 00:36:30.599
out, told me it was ten
o' clock at night. Still we
497
00:36:31.119 --> 00:36:37.599
asked for a car and went out
to my aunt' s house when we
498
00:36:37.880 --> 00:36:40.679
arrived, the Baby kept crying,
but when my aunt took it, after
499
00:36:40.719 --> 00:36:46.239
apologizing for the hour, Germán calmed
down as she entered her house. An
500
00:36:46.280 --> 00:36:51.719
aroma of the band filled my nose. I felt like I was relaxing instantly.
501
00:36:52.119 --> 00:36:55.480
There were three candles lit on the
altar that she had that which had
502
00:36:55.559 --> 00:36:58.559
been my grandmother' s and my
grandmother' s mother' s. My
503
00:36:59.519 --> 00:37:02.440
aunt was clear to us. I
knew why we went. My mom had
504
00:37:02.480 --> 00:37:07.280
warned him to be ready. She
was a tarotist. I thought of her
505
00:37:07.400 --> 00:37:12.000
because only she could help us.
You could tell us what was going on.
506
00:37:12.719 --> 00:37:15.000
I wasn' t seeing her for
years. She hugged me, as
507
00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:20.360
I remembered, like when I was
in high school. She began to move
508
00:37:20.400 --> 00:37:25.079
a herb binding around us and Germán
began coughing her. He told me to
509
00:37:25.159 --> 00:37:30.440
just carry it so I could take
another minute to clean up. After that
510
00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:34.559
he sat us on a large red
armchair that was in a large room where
511
00:37:34.559 --> 00:37:39.280
he apparently exercised the letter reading thing. After talking to us a little bit,
512
00:37:40.199 --> 00:37:44.840
he started throwing the cards on the
ground, making circles. Then he
513
00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:47.960
' d just settle everything and throw
three or four cards and then look at
514
00:37:47.960 --> 00:37:52.159
us. Then he told us that
what was after us was the demon that
515
00:37:52.280 --> 00:37:57.280
went after the children. He feeds
on them in many ways and, above
516
00:37:57.360 --> 00:38:00.119
all, could not tell us his
name not to invoke, because now what
517
00:38:00.159 --> 00:38:05.159
had to be done was to wipe
out his presence in Luis, whom he
518
00:38:05.239 --> 00:38:09.280
had been chasing to make use of. Things fit me in with the little
519
00:38:09.320 --> 00:38:15.480
one in the flats. This beast
married her until she took her away when
520
00:38:15.480 --> 00:38:20.280
she caused the accident. I believe
that when I arrived that demon felt my
521
00:38:20.320 --> 00:38:23.039
little one and wished him from the
beginning, for now that I have talked
522
00:38:23.159 --> 00:38:28.559
a lot with my aunt, it
is clear to me that demons always seek
523
00:38:28.639 --> 00:38:32.840
pure souls to corrupt them, but
also to cause him much suffering. Fortunately,
524
00:38:34.079 --> 00:38:37.920
we got off relatively well from all
that unfortunate. I find my husband.
525
00:38:38.039 --> 00:38:43.400
She' s been going with my
aunt once a month for half a
526
00:38:43.440 --> 00:38:46.199
year, and I' m going
to see her. A person whose name
527
00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:51.559
we don' t know is called
Agatha. Join my aunt in the cleans
528
00:38:51.679 --> 00:38:55.280
to free my husband from her bond. With that demon, I saw him
529
00:38:55.400 --> 00:38:59.840
too, just like he did.
We both saw it in our dreams,
530
00:39:00.599 --> 00:39:01.440
but I don' t understand how
the same thing didn' t happen to
531
00:39:01.440 --> 00:39:07.039
me. We don' t know
how long it' s going to take
532
00:39:07.039 --> 00:39:10.519
to achieve the abandonment of the dark
force of Luis' soul, but we
533
00:39:10.639 --> 00:39:13.360
' re going to keep coming for
him to make it. For my part,
534
00:39:13.480 --> 00:39:15.960
I can say that I am no
longer surprised by all this world and
535
00:39:16.079 --> 00:39:21.360
that I now live more calmly.
I know how to protect myself and my
536
00:39:21.360 --> 00:39:23.880
family. I wish everyone knew the
devil was loose and he doesn' t
537
00:39:24.039 --> 00:39:30.320
care if he doesn' t grow
up in it. Story written and adapted
