Un Diario Maldito Sacado Del Mismo Infierno Historias De Terror - REDE

WEBVTT

1
00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:11.160
I was always a pretty different kid. I never had normal friends or hobbies.

2
00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:15.599
Instead of playing football or machines,
I liked going to the library for

3
00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:22.199
hours and devouring one book after another. I guess I did it to try

4
00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:25.719
and forget everything that was going on
in my life back then. I can

5
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:31.199
' t say I had an awful
childhood, because I know that many might

6
00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:35.960
have had something worse than me.
I was the only son of a couple

7
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:41.200
of parents who were religious fanatics.
I call them that trying to sound nice,

8
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:46.039
considering what they really were. There
were whole days when we didn'

9
00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:50.039
t leave the Church. I swear
I had to memorize more than eighty percent

10
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:55.159
of the Bible. In case they
asked me randomly some verse, being me

11
00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:59.320
a boy, who from a very
early age knew that it was certainly someone

12
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:03.159
who differed and his tastes were not
allowed. It just made it worse.

13
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:10.319
It all got worse when both the
father of our church and other church members

14
00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:17.959
realized it was different. Unrepressed ill- treatment did not wait and, far

15
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:23.239
from receiving support or protection from those
who had to take care of me,

16
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:29.000
they were blinded by their beliefs.
This triggered that at the age of eighteen

17
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:34.560
I had to escape, as they
discovered some things in my room, which

18
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:38.319
I do not want to reveal here. I' ll just say it was

19
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:42.640
enough for them to send me to
one of those famous conversion centers. I

20
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:48.159
had heard terrible things about it and
was not willing to live like this and

21
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:53.040
before being sent I escaped. It
was very difficult and I don' t

22
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:57.120
wish it on anyone. I couldn' t even finish high school, as

23
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.200
I was taking some temporary jobs,
or or or or chas sometimes sleeping on

24
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:06.239
the streets. Needless to mention,
I came to have a great repudiation of

25
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:09.800
everything that had to do with religion. While when I was younger, I

26
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:15.560
imagined that not all that could be
true at that time of my life,

27
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:20.639
I really hated anything that had to
do with it. I blamed religion for

28
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:27.280
all my parents' bad decisions and
even mine. For my fortune and thanks

29
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:31.919
to my perseverance, after years I
managed to find a good job and then

30
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:37.800
save a lot and keep my expenses
to a minimum. I managed to fulfill

31
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:42.080
my dream of having a bookstore.
At that point in my life I had

32
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:47.719
gotten a couple and finally had enough
money to relax me seemed to be going

33
00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:53.280
well, but I should have expected
everything to collapse from one moment to the

34
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:58.360
next. That day came a new
shipment of books, Since my budget was

35
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:02.879
quite tight, Many of these books
were usually bought in garage sales, libraries

36
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:08.680
or bookstores that had recently closed and
wanted to get rid of their inventory,

37
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:15.479
which is why they gave full boxes
at very low cost. The task was

38
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:20.319
for me to organize and classify them
between what was useful and what was only

39
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:28.560
recycling material that night my partner was
helping me organize many boxes and I thought

40
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:35.639
we would not finish. Most books
were useful and some looked good. Almost

41
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:40.919
new. My partner had to work
the next day, after helping me with

42
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:46.400
about five boxes and seeing it was
almost midnight, decided to go to bed,

43
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:50.120
but I wanted to go further.
I told him I' d continue.

44
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:54.479
Everything was going well until I found
a book that caught my attention,

45
00:03:55.159 --> 00:04:00.319
as it looked very old. In
fact, my first thought of or was

46
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:06.560
to throw it away immediately, but
before I did I decided to see what

47
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:09.960
exactly it was when I opened it
I saw it was a diary. He

48
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:15.159
looked pretty old. He had a
perfect calligraphy. The lyrics were so beautiful

49
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:18.279
that I could not help but read
that page on which I had opened the

50
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:24.639
diary. The first page I saw
was full of hundreds of strange symbols and

51
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:30.920
so it all seemed to indicate that
it was a kind of ritual. I

52
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:34.560
read it a little bit and it
seemed to be in an ancient language,

53
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:41.399
much like Latin, but when I
did a little more research, I realized

54
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:45.800
that some words were not the same. On this first page, that ritual

55
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:50.439
could not be read well because some
pages were so mistreated that some letters were

56
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:56.480
not very legible to host the pages. Most of the things found in that

57
00:04:56.560 --> 00:05:00.160
diary were nothing but symbols, and
so did you give them that they seemed

58
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:05.000
to be rituals in that strange language
that at the time I thought it was

59
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:12.240
Latin when I came to some leaves
that, while they were equally mistreated by

60
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:17.040
time, I also realized that I
could understand what they were saying. In

61
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:23.639
one of the writings was found a
ritual to detect an animal spy. I

62
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:28.120
didn' t understand what he meant
by spying and wrong, while I was

63
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:32.639
reading it, I could better understand
what it was about how I could know

64
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:41.160
if I was being stalked by pets
who were sent directly to spy on you,

65
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:43.759
emphasizing, especially, animals like cats. The idea of being spied on

66
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:49.920
by animals sounded absurd, but something
in those old and yellow pages aroused a

67
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:56.079
sense of restlessness in the depths of
my being I decided to investigate more thoroughly

68
00:05:56.160 --> 00:06:00.399
the contents of the journal, but
while doing so as they eat it I

69
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:04.319
could notice strange changes in my environment. The stray cats that used to roam

70
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:12.240
my bookstore now seemed to be getting
closer to my establishment and their nightly mauls

71
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:18.600
resounded sinisterly in the dark alleys.
A sense of paranoia took over me.

72
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:24.040
As I read more of that diary, I continued reading a little more.

73
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:29.959
That especially caught my attention and I
came to a point of reading about the

74
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:35.519
famous talking cats. There he said
that no talking cat could mean anything good.

75
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:42.839
They also claimed that having one nearby
and being discovered would be far worse

76
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:47.439
for whoever did. I continued reading
and saw a picture of a cat that

77
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:53.560
seemed very common, except for the
eyes that seemed to be completely black.

78
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:58.600
It was as if there were no
eyes, the hair looked somewhat out of

79
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:01.439
line and had more teeth in its
mouth than a cat usually has. It

80
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:08.439
was disturbing. All that was very
disturbing and, while trying to get away

81
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:15.519
from anything related to the paranormal or
the religious, my mind used to betray

82
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.639
me with very explicit images. When
someone came to mention this subject, the

83
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:24.000
idea of a talking cat gave me
a chill all over my body. As

84
00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:29.839
much as I was trying to tell
myself that I had to close that strange

85
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:33.000
diary and throw it away immediately.
Or that I was too tired for all

86
00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:36.720
that and that, maybe, it
would be better to go to sleep another

87
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:41.680
part of me. I wanted to
continue reading. I think this is where

88
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:47.120
it all started, where there really
was no turning back. I changed the

89
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:51.600
page again and then I could see
back a ritual I didn' t understand.

90
00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:58.720
It was not in that language that
I thought was Latin. It looked

91
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:03.240
a little more extinct and underneath.
He had a picture of a cat'

92
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:07.319
s head. I read the ritual
in my mind about twice and the third

93
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:15.680
time I read it again, but
I was silent for three minutes. I

94
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:18.480
was about to switch pages to read
a little more. When I heard a

95
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:24.680
strange noise and I say strange because
it seemed like a human was mauling a

96
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:28.360
cat. I looked through all the
windows, but I couldn' t see

97
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:33.320
anything. I thought it was strange. It sounded pretty close. I went

98
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:37.840
back to mine when a second noise
came up. I was convinced of what

99
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:41.960
I had heard. Suddenly I could
see the silhouette of a cat on the

100
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:46.360
street. I thought I was too
far away to make the cat I was

101
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:50.519
listening to. The cat mauled again
three times before his mauling deformed into what

102
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:58.799
seemed like words. I didn'
t fully understand them and ran away leaving

103
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:03.200
me again in silence. I tried
to sit back and read a little more,

104
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:07.159
but no matter how hard I tried
to do it. My thoughts turned

105
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:15.759
to how strange that experience had been
just a few moments ago. After a

106
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:20.039
while, I decided that it would
be best to go to sleep. I

107
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:24.600
was about to fall asleep when I
could hear those mauled ones again I knew

108
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:30.840
it couldn' t be a coincidence, but when I woke up my partner

109
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:35.480
to listen to them, the mauled
ones also stopped completely. The silence that

110
00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:41.039
followed was more disturbing than any sound. My couple in yawns and numbness,

111
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:48.320
couldn' t hear anything and told
me to go back to bed saying it

112
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:54.039
was probably just my imagination. I
wanted to believe him, but something told

113
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:58.480
me that wasn' t the product
of my mind. There were no more

114
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:03.480
incidents during that night, except for
a strange dream where I could see a

115
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:09.919
girl carrying a cat, which could
not see her face. I don'

116
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:15.200
t remember much of those dreams,
but for some reason, I found it

117
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:22.200
very disturbing. The next day,
while I was preparing breakfast I could feel

118
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:26.320
something behind me, at the same
time I sensed what looked like a hot

119
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:31.639
blow right on my neck. I
didn' t turn right away, since

120
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:35.600
for a moment I thought he was
my partner. I knew it wasn'

121
00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:41.600
t her, and I heard that
maul back. I turned scared and even

122
00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:46.240
gave a little scream, which alerted
my partner and came down immediately to see

123
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:50.039
what was happening to me. But
there was nothing out of the ordinary.

124
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:54.240
I decided to tell her what happened
the night before. My partner heard everything

125
00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:58.639
I had to tell him and after
showing him that strange picture of the cat

126
00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:05.759
in the day, he told me
he was probably exaggerating, as he sometimes

127
00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:11.799
used to. He assured me that
was just someone' s diary with a

128
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:16.120
lot of imagination. As for the
strange experience of the night before, he

129
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:20.440
assured me that it was simple suggestion
and that he saw cats on the street

130
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:22.840
all the time. I shouldn'
t have given it much importance. It

131
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:26.840
could affect me too much. I
didn' t want to agree, but

132
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:35.320
his criticism and logic finally convinced me
that everything lived was his management. Once

133
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:39.080
he finished talking, he suggested to
me that it would be better to throw

134
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:43.440
away the diary. She did it
herself throwing him in the trash can before

135
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:48.480
going out to work. He was
in the trash for almost 20 minutes.

136
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:54.519
I couldn' t resist the temptation
to keep reading it. As I said

137
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:58.360
before, it was almost as if
it was my obsession to read more about

138
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:01.919
that diary. I didn' t
know what drew me so much attention to

139
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:07.960
him, Despite my partner' s
warning and his attempt to get rid of

140
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:16.080
the diary, curiosity was still too
strong to ignore it. As she left

141
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:20.720
the house, I approached the pot
of Garbage and took the Journal out of

142
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:24.879
the waste my hands trembled as I
opened it. I remember how in doing

143
00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:30.879
so, I thought the diary was
more than just a person' s diary

144
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:35.639
with a lot of imagination. The
more I read the more I thought that

145
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:41.759
perhaps my partner was right, perhaps
all that had been written by a person

146
00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:46.399
with a lot of imagination, something
still did not convince me completely. Some

147
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:52.440
of the rituals really seemed like they
were going to work, not to mention

148
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:56.360
that, since I had read those
words aloud, I had heard that cat,

149
00:12:56.960 --> 00:13:03.000
which made me think that the Journal
I was real. Finally I was

150
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:07.639
able to reach the last pages of
the book, or at least one of

151
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:11.639
the last. The last one was
so ill- treated, it looked like

152
00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:13.399
it had something written on it.
It wasn' t readable at all.

153
00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:18.679
I knew if I tried to move
it it would break. I simply completely

154
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:24.200
gave up the idea of being able
to read that last sheet. The penultimate

155
00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:28.679
one had something interesting. It was
the drawing of what seemed to be a

156
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:33.360
hooded man. You couldn' t
see his face. He only had the

157
00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:39.720
silhouette of a fair man. Below
this drawing was back what seemed to be

158
00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:45.600
a ritual, but it was very
short. It almost seemed incomplete. The

159
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:50.120
lyrics were very bad in an attempt
to know what it was saying. I

160
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:54.639
decided to transcribe it into a notebook
or at least what I got. I

161
00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:58.799
couldn' t transcribe much. Like
I said, it was too short,

162
00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:03.639
but it was enough to ruin my
life. I also made some of the

163
00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:09.279
symbols I could see in the diary. These were very similar to staves,

164
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:13.799
only that they had some variants regarding
the peaks of the star or the positions

165
00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:20.559
of them. Once I knew I
couldn' t transcribe anymore, I saw

166
00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:24.399
it for a while reading it in
my mind before I read it out loud

167
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:28.840
again, without even realizing it,
but nothing happened. At first, I

168
00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:35.279
even felt stupid for even thinking something
might happen. I actually stood up and

169
00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:41.559
felt a little dizzy. The view
began to become rather blurred and soon I

170
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:46.360
could see someone standing at the library
entrance. I thought I might as well

171
00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:52.639
be a client, only it was
impossible for me to welcome you. A

172
00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:56.919
couple of words came out of my
mouth before this man threw himself at me,

173
00:14:56.159 --> 00:15:00.639
I couldn' t do anything and
actually, or he didn' t

174
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:03.919
touch me. He just walked through
me. I remember the intense cold that

175
00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:11.039
felt. It was almost like thousands
of ice needles pierced my body. I

176
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:16.840
even fainted, woke up quite excited, but there was nothing in the bookstore

177
00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:22.399
that made me think that everything I
had experienced had been real. While I

178
00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:26.559
was still trying to remember everything,
I realized that my partner was about to

179
00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:33.399
arrive. I kept that diary in
one of my drawers, away from my

180
00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:37.399
partner' s sight, knowing that
he would be upset if he knew I

181
00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:43.519
took it out of the trash and
continued reading it. For the same reason,

182
00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:48.960
I couldn' t share with him
anything that had happened with that silhouette

183
00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:54.639
in the bookstore or my sudden fainting. That afternoon I was very restless.

184
00:15:54.200 --> 00:16:00.600
Any thought, anything I tried to
do to distract me. I always went

185
00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:04.440
back to all that stuff. I
was wondering if all that, even the

186
00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:11.399
strange client thing, had been real. The mystery that enveloped the diary and

187
00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:18.320
the inexplicable experiences that I was living
had become overwhelming. Despite my attempts to

188
00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:23.279
rationalize what happened, I could not
ignore the feeling that something dark and supernatural

189
00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:30.240
was at stake. The following events
made it very clear to me that this

190
00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:34.440
was not at all a simple children' s story. That night I heard

191
00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:41.639
the cat again. As before,
it seemed to be performed by a person

192
00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:47.159
I woke up my partner to listen
to, but at the time he paid

193
00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:53.679
attention they stopped. I didn'
t understand what was going on. I

194
00:16:53.759 --> 00:17:00.799
knew my suggestion and imagination couldn'
t do that much. I remember very

195
00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:06.799
well the moment when everything climbed up
I was awake. Several consecutive nights had

196
00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:11.720
already passed in which he simply woke
up for no apparent reason. I felt

197
00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:18.200
like someone was looking at me,
but no matter where I looked. I

198
00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:23.000
couldn' t see anyone. It
was only a matter of time before tiredness

199
00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:30.000
beat me again and I could sleep
the rest of the night. I was

200
00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:37.079
awake thinking I was a little sick
of that situation. Then I heard that

201
00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:41.720
mauling, but this time it was
different because it was not heard outside,

202
00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:48.480
as it always seemed to be in
the house to be more precise on the

203
00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:52.880
bottom, right in the bookstore.
I tried to convince myself and tell myself

204
00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:56.359
the same thing that it couldn'
t be, that there was no way

205
00:17:57.119 --> 00:18:02.079
that any animal could get in,
but suddenly I could hear a rumble like

206
00:18:02.079 --> 00:18:03.759
the one in the books. Falling
to the ground. I tried to wake

207
00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:10.240
my partner, but she was asleep. I didn' t understand how he

208
00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:15.960
hadn' t woken up with that
rumble. I thought about waking him up,

209
00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:21.279
but I remembered that all the times
I had tried to wake my partner

210
00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:23.960
up had been in vain. I
had never seen anything, I had not

211
00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:33.319
even heard anything ever woken up at
midnight or even seemed to believe me that

212
00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:37.759
was when I made the decision to
come down to see what that noise had

213
00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:41.079
been, just because it had not
been a noise, but the mauled kept

214
00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:45.319
listening. Again and again I was
so sick of the situation that I thought

215
00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:51.480
that if it was really a cat, then I would end this one once

216
00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:56.400
and for all, I went down
the stairs. If I' m completely

217
00:18:56.400 --> 00:19:00.440
honest, for every step that lowered
my courage I did too, maybe too

218
00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:06.640
much. I didn' t consider
myself a very brave person, but right

219
00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:12.839
then the fear I felt was quite
indescribable. I remember that even my legs

220
00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:19.640
began to tremble as I began to
feel very cold. I finally got down

221
00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:25.079
and indeed, I could see a
lot of books irrigated all over the ground.

222
00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:30.240
The strangest thing of all was that
it seemed that they had all fallen

223
00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:34.680
at once from one of the booksellers
made no sense, I saw nothing around

224
00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:41.039
that could have thrown them away.
The scene in front of me was quite

225
00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:45.480
surreal and disturbing. Books scattered over
the ground and the feeling of being observed

226
00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:52.359
intensified. As I looked around,
the mauled ones kept ringing in the room,

227
00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:56.839
filling the air with a disturbing presence. I felt trapped in a lucid

228
00:19:56.960 --> 00:20:02.720
dream where reality mixed me with the
supernatural, in a way that challenged all

229
00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:08.200
logic and understanding. I decided to
pick up the books and put them back

230
00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:14.119
in place, trying to keep calm
despite the growing feeling of terror that enveloped

231
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:18.559
me, I crouched down to pick
them up. After all, I didn

232
00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:22.480
' t know what else to do. The fear was still within me.

233
00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:27.039
I felt my heart hitting my chest
with a lot of force, at the

234
00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:32.240
same time as that cold, which
was rising every second, I was slipping

235
00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:38.079
to my bones. Then I heard
whispers. I could understand them a little

236
00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:44.119
bit It seemed like they were laughing
or rather secreting. Between them they seemed

237
00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:48.519
to come from two different voices.
I was still settling the books. I

238
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:55.680
wanted to pretend not to be listening
just to keep them talking, at least

239
00:20:55.799 --> 00:21:00.880
until I managed to identify exactly which
part those voices came from. When I

240
00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:06.880
could identify well, I looked up
at that place and came across the unpleasant

241
00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:11.200
vision that outside the bookstore, right
in the window were what looked like two

242
00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:18.880
cats. The darkness prevented me from
seeing them clearly, but the eyes of

243
00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:22.400
both of them shone as they usually
did. Both cats stared at me.

244
00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:29.200
I wasn' t an animal lover. I respected them, but I had

245
00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:33.440
never liked them at all, let
alone those two cats, who seemed to

246
00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:40.319
be really responsible for those voices I
had heard just a couple of minutes ago,

247
00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:44.440
I couldn' t quite distinguish their
faces. As much as he tried,

248
00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:48.400
all he could see was his eyes. In the middle of the darkness.

249
00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:55.119
The feeling of discomfort intensified as the
cats continued to stare at me from

250
00:21:55.279 --> 00:22:00.240
the dark their bright eyes seemed to
penetrate into the depths of my ses as

251
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:06.559
if they could see through my soul. I tried to look away, to

252
00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:12.279
ignore their disturbing presence, but it
was as if they were hypnotizing me,

253
00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:18.640
drawing me to them with an impossible
magnetic force to resist every fiber of my

254
00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:25.920
being was alert, shouting to me
that something was not right, that those

255
00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:29.839
cats were not mere stray animals.
The whispers I had heard before resounded in

256
00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:34.319
my mind. I was wondering what
those cats wanted from me. I tried

257
00:22:34.359 --> 00:22:41.039
to remember the Journal' s warnings
about talking cats, but my thoughts were

258
00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:44.599
clouded by fear and confusion. I
didn' t know exactly what to do.

259
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:48.880
On the one hand, there was
the fear of thinking that those animals

260
00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:52.480
had spoken. On the other hand, there was the cold that I felt

261
00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:56.400
in the whole environment. I thought
about talking to my partner, but I

262
00:22:56.559 --> 00:23:00.400
knew it was heavy sleep and I' m sure you wouldn' t hear

263
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:06.519
me scream. I made the decision
to turn around and walk to my room.

264
00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:11.200
It was not more than five steps
before listening to a voice, but

265
00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:15.839
this was not a whisper. It
was a very clear thing that I was

266
00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:19.960
wondering where I was going. That
was it for me. I hastened the

267
00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:25.559
passage and quickly climbed the stairs.
I woke up my partner and put her

268
00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:30.640
down to see those strange animals.
It cost me a little bit. He

269
00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:36.720
was really tired, but he finally
agreed to go see what all that fuss

270
00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:40.599
was about. When we arrived,
the cats were no longer there and,

271
00:23:40.839 --> 00:23:45.920
to my surprise, the books were
back in the bookseller had no logic whatsoever.

272
00:23:47.160 --> 00:23:49.559
I told my partner everything that had
happened, what I had seen and

273
00:23:49.720 --> 00:23:56.480
heard, but she told me that
I was probably too tired and that maybe

274
00:23:56.839 --> 00:24:03.039
it had been a dream. I
knew it wasn' t a dream.

275
00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:08.519
Everything had felt pretty real. He
remembered enough details to have been. I

276
00:24:08.640 --> 00:24:15.799
had no explanation. I thought I
wouldn' t be able to convince my

277
00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:18.279
partner. I had to agree with
him, and we both went back to

278
00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:23.240
bed. Despite my partner’ s
attempts to reassure me, the feeling of

279
00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:30.000
restlessness persisted in my mind. I
was wondering if I was losing my mind

280
00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:33.799
or if something darker was at stake. As I tried to fall asleep,

281
00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:40.079
my mind kept spinning, unable to
find a logical explanation for what had happened,

282
00:24:40.680 --> 00:24:45.359
no matter what question he asked me. The answer escaped me, causing

283
00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:52.720
me once again to have more questions
than answers. As the night progressed,

284
00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:57.440
I plunged into a state of semi- unconsciousness, plagued by nightmares and uneasy

285
00:24:57.519 --> 00:25:03.680
dreams, which always tormented me.
The images of cats with their bright eyes

286
00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:11.519
and disturbing whispers filled my thoughts,
turning the dream into a rather tortuous experience.

287
00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:18.160
That was the dynamic until dawn.
I had been able to sleep a

288
00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:22.279
little longer. That last time,
when I woke up, I noticed that

289
00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:27.519
I had discomfort in my throat it
was like I had been screaming for hours

290
00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:32.759
or at least that way my partner
was already up, I was there.

291
00:25:32.880 --> 00:25:37.920
I just got out of bed and
went to the bathroom. That' s

292
00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:44.200
when I noticed three scratches on my
chest, exactly like the wounds a cat

293
00:25:44.279 --> 00:25:48.839
can cause. There was no other
reason why I could have those marks.

294
00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:53.759
The worst thing was that, wanting
to show those scratches to my partner,

295
00:25:55.319 --> 00:26:00.000
they were gone. I felt like
I was losing all sanity inside me.

296
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:06.240
It was not possible that I had
felt those scratches my dream with that cat

297
00:26:06.319 --> 00:26:07.720
about me. It had something to
do with it. I was sure,

298
00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:14.799
but again I couldn' t prove
anything. The next day I went out

299
00:26:14.920 --> 00:26:18.359
for a moment to buy some food
and that' s when I went through

300
00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:23.160
a church. He was so many
years old that he didn' t attend

301
00:26:23.240 --> 00:26:26.519
one or even go in as he
had talked to them before. My relationship

302
00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:32.400
with these places had not ended very
well. That was the main reason,

303
00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:37.160
but right then I thought that if
everything I had lived was real, it

304
00:26:37.240 --> 00:26:42.519
could be the solution to what was
happening. I decided to come in a

305
00:26:42.559 --> 00:26:45.440
little bit to ask for help.
I felt nothing different about the Church.

306
00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:52.920
I walked around looking at all those
statues and paintings. It was all exactly

307
00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:59.640
how I remembered those places. It
was completely empty and I' ll get

308
00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:02.920
to n n n s so to
the feet of a statue of the Virgin

309
00:27:02.920 --> 00:27:07.319
Mary. It was huge and it
was in the classic. Possess that these

310
00:27:07.400 --> 00:27:11.960
statues usually have. I didn'
t know exactly where to start. I

311
00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:15.359
thought about praying, but a part
of me was still totally refused to do

312
00:27:15.359 --> 00:27:21.359
it. And it was then,
while I was still thinking, that I

313
00:27:21.400 --> 00:27:26.799
noticed that the figure of the Virgin
moved her eyes towards me and as soon

314
00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:30.519
as she noticed that I saw her
I realized that she put her eyes back

315
00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:36.759
in the same direction and remained completely
inert. I screamed and took a couple

316
00:27:36.799 --> 00:27:41.319
of steps back. That' s
when I heard the priest' s voice,

317
00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:45.000
which I wondered if I was okay. I just got out of there

318
00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:48.480
as fast as I could and couldn' t believe what I just saw.

319
00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:53.160
I was absolutely sure that if I
told you, no one would believe me.

320
00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:59.400
After that disturbing meeting in the Church
I felt more bewildered than ever.

321
00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:03.799
I felt like I was trapped in
the middle of a horrible nightmare. The

322
00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:08.640
events were getting worse than each other
and I did not know how much longer

323
00:28:08.680 --> 00:28:15.400
that figure in the Church would continue
to bear it by moving his eyes towards

324
00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:19.519
me. He left me trembling with
fear. While I was at home,

325
00:28:19.839 --> 00:28:26.720
I thought if my sanity was drifting
or really something paranormal was happening. I

326
00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:33.319
tried to convince myself that it had
only been a hallucination caused by stress,

327
00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:37.359
but something inside of me knew it
wasn' t like that. Terror had

328
00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:42.000
taken over me. I found myself
filled with confusion and paranoia, scratches on

329
00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:48.640
my chest, inexplicable experiences in the
bookstore and that chilling encounter in the Church

330
00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:55.039
made me wonder if it was all
real or just freaking out. I tried

331
00:28:55.039 --> 00:28:59.519
to find comfort in the idea that
everything was an illusion, a series of

332
00:28:59.599 --> 00:29:07.359
coincidences and misunderstandings fueled by exhaustion and
stress. It was increasingly difficult to ignore

333
00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:12.720
the physical evidence of what he had
experienced, the scratches that appeared and disappeared

334
00:29:14.039 --> 00:29:18.200
or the whispering voices in the dark. Just in case, the feeling of

335
00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:23.359
being observed persisted day and night as
if something were lurking in the shadows,

336
00:29:23.839 --> 00:29:30.759
waiting for the right moment to manifest. Again, this caused me fear and

337
00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:34.640
I didn' t know who to
turn to for help. Soon I found

338
00:29:34.680 --> 00:29:40.839
myself looking over and over at the
diary I had found, wondering if maybe

339
00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:47.359
there I would find answers to what
was happening around me. I remember thinking

340
00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:51.519
that, despite my attempts to stay
away from everything related to the paranormal or

341
00:29:51.640 --> 00:29:56.680
the religious, I felt an attraction
to the diary. It was like no

342
00:29:56.759 --> 00:30:03.079
matter what I wanted to always end
up coming back to him. One day

343
00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:07.039
my partner had gone to work and
I had just said goodbye to a client,

344
00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:12.119
I found myself shaking some shelves,
when suddenly a feeling of fear began

345
00:30:12.160 --> 00:30:18.359
to take hold of me something evil
that stalked in the shadows my hands trembled.

346
00:30:21.079 --> 00:30:26.960
That' s when the mauled started
again. These were mild at first,

347
00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:32.759
but little by little they began to
increase their intensity until they filled the

348
00:30:32.839 --> 00:30:37.319
room with their disturbing sound. I
looked up at the window and there,

349
00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:41.480
right behind the curtain, I saw
the silhouette of a cat. Although I

350
00:30:41.559 --> 00:30:48.920
could not see it, I was
sure that this one could see me that

351
00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:53.039
simple act gave me chills. I
tried to turn my gaze away, to

352
00:30:53.079 --> 00:31:00.000
convince myself that it was just my
imagination playing tricks on me, but I

353
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:03.319
couldn' t help but feel deeply
disturbed by the presence of the cat in

354
00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:07.720
the window. The mauled ones continued
to fill the room. Enfolding me with

355
00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:12.759
sounds that filled me with an anxiety
that increased every second, I could not

356
00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:19.440
understand what that cat or cat-
shaped entity might want from me. In

357
00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:23.519
spite of my fear, I felt
a strange compulsion to approach the window,

358
00:31:25.039 --> 00:31:30.119
as if something inside me pushed me
to face the cat with trembling hands.

359
00:31:30.119 --> 00:31:36.119
I slowly approached feeling like something was
pressing my chest. With every step I

360
00:31:36.240 --> 00:31:40.359
took I was about to open the
curtains and see that cat, but before

361
00:31:41.079 --> 00:31:45.200
I could do it, the figure
of the animal disappeared from moment to moment,

362
00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:52.079
leaving me alone with the echo of
its bruises in my Mind I was

363
00:31:52.119 --> 00:31:57.000
paralyzed by fear. The feeling of
discomfort grew inside me. After that inexplicable

364
00:31:57.039 --> 00:32:02.680
event, I decided to calm down
and propose that, no matter what I

365
00:32:02.920 --> 00:32:08.279
saw or heard, I would simply
ignore it. Just two days after this

366
00:32:08.359 --> 00:32:15.799
decision, something terrible happened. I
had been cleaning up late and decided to

367
00:32:15.839 --> 00:32:19.960
go to sleep. I went upstairs. Every step he took resonated in the

368
00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:23.400
silence of the house. The atmosphere
was strange, but, as I said

369
00:32:23.400 --> 00:32:29.920
before, I ignored all that.
When I got to the bedroom, I

370
00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:32.759
was hoping to find some kind of
shelter in my bed, but what I

371
00:32:32.880 --> 00:32:37.359
saw there was freezing my blood.
A hideous figure stood over my partner with

372
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:42.279
his hands around his neck in a
suffocation gesture. It was a grotesque-

373
00:32:42.599 --> 00:32:49.960
looking being mixed between human and animal. His skin was covered with scales and

374
00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:54.960
his face had both feline and human
characteristics, with eyes shining with a reddish

375
00:32:55.079 --> 00:33:01.880
tone. Without thinking about it,
he threw me forward with the intention of

376
00:33:01.960 --> 00:33:07.839
deliberating my partner from that monster who
was attacking her. But when I came

377
00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:12.680
to his side and looked into the
bed, I found an even more terrifying

378
00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:17.240
scene. The bed was empty and
my partner wasn' t there. The

379
00:33:17.279 --> 00:33:24.480
figure that had seen that abominable hybrid
faded into darkness, leaving me alone with

380
00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:30.000
my confusion and my own heartbeat.
I staggered back, feeling a knot in

381
00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:36.640
my throat and an intense cold travel
through my body slowly back to the door,

382
00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:40.920
leaving the room in the hope of
escaping from that nightmare that had invaded

383
00:33:40.960 --> 00:33:46.559
my home. But even as I
walked away, I could feel the presence

384
00:33:46.759 --> 00:33:52.839
of something dark and evil. Chasing
in the shadows as waiting for your next

385
00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:57.720
chance to attack with your heart.
Still beating hard on my chest, I

386
00:33:58.319 --> 00:34:01.799
walked to the door of my room
without being able to turn my gaze away

387
00:34:01.920 --> 00:34:07.039
from the empty bed. That'
s when I heard the sound of the

388
00:34:07.159 --> 00:34:10.400
water running and turned towards the direction
of the bathroom. That' s when

389
00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:17.320
I saw my partner coming out of
there and visibly disturbed. I tried to

390
00:34:17.360 --> 00:34:22.800
find the words to explain what I
had just witnessed, but my lips felt

391
00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:29.320
dry and my thoughts were as confused
as ever. After all, how could

392
00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:34.280
I explain what I' d seen? My partner approached me worried about my

393
00:34:34.320 --> 00:34:37.639
condition, but I couldn' t
find the strength to tell her the truth.

394
00:34:38.199 --> 00:34:43.000
Instead, I told her that I
just felt bad, that I had

395
00:34:43.119 --> 00:34:47.400
had a nightmare. He looked at
me with eyes full of compassion, but

396
00:34:47.519 --> 00:34:52.000
also with a concern, as if
he knew there was something else I wasn

397
00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:58.199
' t telling him. We decided
to go to bed together, trying to

398
00:34:58.239 --> 00:35:04.679
leave behind those disturbing events and find
comfort in sleep. My partner didn'

399
00:35:04.719 --> 00:35:08.119
t take long to fall asleep,
but I, no matter how hard I

400
00:35:08.199 --> 00:35:14.719
tried, couldn' t turn away
from my mind the image of that horrible

401
00:35:14.840 --> 00:35:19.280
figure lurking on the empty bed.
The night became a battle between the desire

402
00:35:19.360 --> 00:35:22.559
to find refuge in the dream and
the fear of what might lurk in the

403
00:35:22.599 --> 00:35:31.000
darkness. Every noise, every shadow
fueled my anxiety and I was completely trapped

404
00:35:31.119 --> 00:35:37.480
in a whirlwind of disturbing thoughts.
As much as I tried to remove the

405
00:35:37.599 --> 00:35:43.440
image of that monstrous figure from my
mind, I kept stalking my conscience,

406
00:35:43.800 --> 00:35:45.760
in addition to the fact that it
became present again. Every time I closed

407
00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:52.000
my eyes with my heart, beating
hard in my chest, I plunged into

408
00:35:52.039 --> 00:35:57.440
a state of semi- unconsciousness,
fighting nightmares and uneasy dreams that threatened to

409
00:35:57.559 --> 00:36:04.840
consume me completely. All that time. I also thought that I should have

410
00:36:04.920 --> 00:36:08.639
something at hand to defend myself,
since if I came back, I didn

411
00:36:08.719 --> 00:36:12.840
' t think I could hurt him
much with just my hands. My partner

412
00:36:13.000 --> 00:36:19.280
slept peacefully, but I remained awake, vigilant in the face of any sign

413
00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:22.159
of danger. Every time he closed
his eyes, he saw the image of

414
00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:29.199
that abominable creature he had seen before
and knew that he could not find peace

415
00:36:29.320 --> 00:36:36.159
until he could discover the truth behind
that nightmare. Time passed slowly. Every

416
00:36:36.239 --> 00:36:40.239
minute seemed like an eternity in the
darkness of the night. Finally, exhaustion

417
00:36:40.239 --> 00:36:46.639
overcame me and I plunged into a
dream full of distorted images. When I

418
00:36:46.719 --> 00:36:51.760
woke up at dawn, I found
myself alone in bed. My partner had

419
00:36:51.800 --> 00:36:57.920
already left me alone with my murky
thoughts and the persistent feeling that something dark

420
00:36:58.079 --> 00:37:01.960
was still lurking. I felt more
tired that day than I felt before I

421
00:37:02.199 --> 00:37:07.800
went to sleep the night before,
I decided that I would not open the

422
00:37:07.800 --> 00:37:13.960
bookstore, at least not at the
moment I was unable to attend clients and

423
00:37:14.039 --> 00:37:19.039
to try to clear my mind,
I decided to organize the books that were

424
00:37:19.639 --> 00:37:24.480
still missing, as if the simple
act of keeping me busy could dissipate all

425
00:37:24.519 --> 00:37:30.360
the thoughts of what happened. Amidst
the grave silence of the bookstore, I

426
00:37:30.920 --> 00:37:37.360
sensed an unusual, heavy and penetrating
aroma. It was the unmistakable smell of

427
00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:40.400
sulfur. The smell was so strong
I couldn' t ignore it. He

428
00:37:40.440 --> 00:37:45.960
was sneaking into every corner of the
bookstore, wrapping my heart around me,

429
00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:51.719
he started pounding hard. As I
returned that fear, I continued to organize

430
00:37:52.079 --> 00:37:58.320
my books, maintaining composure, believing
that if I ignored it enough, then

431
00:37:58.440 --> 00:38:02.239
I would have no power over me. That' s when I saw him

432
00:38:02.320 --> 00:38:08.920
behind a bookcase, a shadow sliding
with a supernatural agility. My eyes opened

433
00:38:08.960 --> 00:38:15.559
wide as I distinguished the figure from
that hybrid creature. Fear paralysed me in

434
00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:22.239
the place. As the creature approached, His extended claws and sharp teeth seemed

435
00:38:22.280 --> 00:38:29.960
ready to tear me apart before I
could react. The creature swung to me

436
00:38:30.119 --> 00:38:35.480
with ferocity. Having her on me. I could see his face contorted in

437
00:38:35.599 --> 00:38:39.519
a grotesque grimace of hate and thirst
for blood. I was trying to get

438
00:38:39.599 --> 00:38:45.760
her off my heart, hammering hard
at my chest, as I struggled to

439
00:38:45.880 --> 00:38:51.360
find a way out of that living
nightmare. With every desperate move, I

440
00:38:51.440 --> 00:38:55.079
felt the creature' s claws scratching
my skin. His hot, fetid breath

441
00:38:55.559 --> 00:39:00.679
blew me close to my face,
as I struggled to keep myself safe from

442
00:39:00.760 --> 00:39:07.920
fear, wrapped me like a dark
blanket, drowning any rational thought that tried

443
00:39:07.960 --> 00:39:12.440
to emerge in my mind. In
the midst of frantic struggle, I managed

444
00:39:12.480 --> 00:39:16.599
to reach a close forceful object and
used it to strike the creature with all

445
00:39:16.599 --> 00:39:22.480
my might. The impact seemed to
stun the being for a moment long enough

446
00:39:22.559 --> 00:39:28.239
that I could free myself and walk
away to the door. That' s

447
00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:31.880
when I noticed how hurt the pain
was. It was like a thousand burning

448
00:39:31.960 --> 00:39:37.679
needles sticking into my skin. I
barely had time to react before I heard

449
00:39:37.800 --> 00:39:43.199
my partner' s hurried steps approaching. When my partner broke into the room

450
00:39:43.760 --> 00:39:47.400
a relief, he invaded me not
only for thinking that I would get help,

451
00:39:47.559 --> 00:39:52.000
but at last my partner would know
that I was not losing my mind.

452
00:39:52.519 --> 00:39:57.920
But to my perplexity, when I
turned to show him the threatening creature

453
00:39:58.000 --> 00:40:01.440
that had been harassing and attacking me, there was nothing in the bookstore somewhere.

454
00:40:02.119 --> 00:40:08.800
It was as if everything had just
vanished. I desperately tried to point

455
00:40:08.840 --> 00:40:14.840
out the pain in my arm,
but when I lifted my broken sleeve there

456
00:40:14.840 --> 00:40:19.559
was no trace of the wound I
had felt, I felt like I was

457
00:40:19.599 --> 00:40:23.400
going crazy, I couldn' t
stand it anymore, I had already reached

458
00:40:23.519 --> 00:40:25.679
my limit the truth and confessed everything
to him. I explained to my partner

459
00:40:25.960 --> 00:40:32.559
how I had recovered the diary from
the garbage dump and how each page seemed

460
00:40:32.639 --> 00:40:38.599
to bring with it demonic events.
He was convinced that he had invoked something

461
00:40:38.639 --> 00:40:45.000
dark and malevolent with that ancient book. My partner, exhausted by the endless

462
00:40:45.119 --> 00:40:52.440
series of unexplained events he recounted,
asked where the diary was. I immediately

463
00:40:52.519 --> 00:40:55.000
took it out of my drawer and
handed it to him without saying a word.

464
00:40:55.199 --> 00:41:00.920
My partner took the diary in his
hands and declared with determination that it

465
00:41:00.000 --> 00:41:06.199
was time to put an end to
this nightmare. Once and for all we

466
00:41:06.239 --> 00:41:09.559
went to the courtyard and with a
knot in my throat, I watched as

467
00:41:09.800 --> 00:41:15.320
my partner lit a match and let
the fire consume the pages of the newspaper.

468
00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:21.280
I saw the flames devour the written
words, feeling as if a weight

469
00:41:21.320 --> 00:41:24.760
had risen from my shoulders to me
it was as if, along with the

470
00:41:24.880 --> 00:41:30.440
pages, the fear that had afflicted
me since it came into my life was

471
00:41:30.440 --> 00:41:34.840
burned. With the diary reduced to
ashes, we both went back in.

472
00:41:35.559 --> 00:41:39.760
For a few days everything seemed to
be calm and we began to regain the

473
00:41:39.800 --> 00:41:45.280
sense of normality in our lives.
But peace did not last long. As

474
00:41:45.320 --> 00:41:50.719
the days passed a disquieting feeling that
something was still lurking in the shadows persisted

475
00:41:50.800 --> 00:41:57.519
at the bottom of my mind,
the diary had been destroyed. The memory

476
00:41:57.639 --> 00:42:02.599
of the supernatural experiences I had experienced
continued to torment me. Every little noise.

477
00:42:02.679 --> 00:42:07.360
In the night he made me jump
out of bed, fearing that darkness

478
00:42:07.559 --> 00:42:15.159
would have brought with it a new
threat. I tried to go back to

479
00:42:15.159 --> 00:42:20.280
our daily routine, trying to find
comfort in the normality of our lives,

480
00:42:20.719 --> 00:42:24.119
but the shadow of mystery continued to
haunt me. It didn' t matter

481
00:42:24.119 --> 00:42:28.159
how hard I tried to ignore it. He was always present, waiting for

482
00:42:28.199 --> 00:42:32.079
the right time to manifest. Once
again with the passing of days, the

483
00:42:32.079 --> 00:42:37.119
guard was going a little lower.
The illusion of peace quickly faded away.

484
00:42:37.280 --> 00:42:43.840
When, while ordering some books in
the bookstore, I began to hear some

485
00:42:44.039 --> 00:42:51.039
barely perceptible whispers, intrigued and a
little fearful I followed the sound to a

486
00:42:51.119 --> 00:42:54.159
box that had been stored for a
long time in the bookstore. When I

487
00:42:54.199 --> 00:43:01.480
lifted the lid, there inside was
the newspaper apparently intact, I felt that

488
00:43:01.519 --> 00:43:06.480
I was going to faint from the
terror I felt. As I stared at

489
00:43:06.559 --> 00:43:09.679
the diary, it couldn' t
be possible. I had seen with my

490
00:43:09.840 --> 00:43:15.960
own eyes how the flames consumed each
page, how it was reduced to ashes

491
00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:22.920
before the fire, but there was
a feeling of panic in front of me

492
00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:27.599
began to grow inside me. As
I struggled to understand what was happening through

493
00:43:27.679 --> 00:43:31.519
my mind, I could only wonder
how it was possible for the diary to

494
00:43:34.119 --> 00:43:37.960
be back with trembling hands. I
closed the lid of the box and moved

495
00:43:37.000 --> 00:43:44.000
away from it feeling the darkness closing
around me again knew I had to tell

496
00:43:44.079 --> 00:43:47.559
my partner what I had discovered,
but a part of me feared what this

497
00:43:47.800 --> 00:43:53.159
meant that the nightmare we had thought
we had left behind was not over yet.

498
00:43:55.199 --> 00:43:59.960
In a moment of courage, I
decided that this time I would be

499
00:44:00.199 --> 00:44:05.400
the one to destroy the diary with
trembling hands. I took out my lighter

500
00:44:05.480 --> 00:44:09.519
and prepared to do whatever was necessary, to get rid of that evil presence

501
00:44:09.559 --> 00:44:15.119
that had invaded my life. But
when I got to the place, my

502
00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:20.079
heart hit my chest. Realizing that
I had disappeared, I looked around frantically

503
00:44:20.079 --> 00:44:27.639
searching every corner, but there was
no sign of the diary anywhere. It

504
00:44:27.800 --> 00:44:31.920
was as if I had never been
there, as if the entire previous scene

505
00:44:32.079 --> 00:44:37.320
had been just an illusion provoked by
my tormented mind. A chill ran through

506
00:44:37.440 --> 00:44:44.519
my back as the reality of the
situation sank into me. I remember sitting

507
00:44:44.679 --> 00:44:50.360
here now looking for explanations. I
was trying to convince myself that what I

508
00:44:50.400 --> 00:44:54.519
had seen was not real, but
no matter what deep down in my being

509
00:44:54.679 --> 00:44:59.960
I knew that my mind could not
have imagined all that. He asked me

510
00:45:00.039 --> 00:45:06.360
what I should do with a resigned
sigh. I knew there was only one

511
00:45:06.440 --> 00:45:08.760
thing I could do. Despite the
growing anguish and torment that tormented me,

512
00:45:08.960 --> 00:45:15.880
I decided to keep to myself what
I had experienced every time I was close

513
00:45:15.000 --> 00:45:21.760
to my partner. I was overwhelmed
by an overwhelming sense of guilt, but

514
00:45:21.800 --> 00:45:25.320
the fear of his reaction, the
fear that he would look at me with

515
00:45:25.679 --> 00:45:30.599
eyes full of disbelief or even worse
with fear that he would be losing his

516
00:45:30.599 --> 00:45:35.039
sanity. I was paralyzed by the
weight of the secret, and it became

517
00:45:35.039 --> 00:45:38.960
more and more oppressive. I tried
to distract myself with the work at the

518
00:45:39.079 --> 00:45:43.840
bookstore, even in the middle of
the seemingly normal routine. The feeling of

519
00:45:43.920 --> 00:45:49.119
discomfort persisted. That event in the
journal was only the beginning of endless experiences.

520
00:45:50.639 --> 00:45:53.920
In the moments of solitude, I
could feel the presence of an evil

521
00:45:54.519 --> 00:45:59.840
entity with its eyes nailed to me, observing me from the shadows with n

522
00:46:00.039 --> 00:46:04.840
s s in an intensity that would
freeze my blood in my veins sometimes as

523
00:46:04.920 --> 00:46:10.400
I showered, I could distinguish a
blurred figure moving behind the curtain, but

524
00:46:10.440 --> 00:46:15.079
every time I walked around to see
it there was no one. The nights

525
00:46:15.119 --> 00:46:22.159
turned into endless torture, filled with
horrifying nightmares that kept me awake trembling with

526
00:46:22.719 --> 00:46:28.599
fear in the dark, even during
the day. The feeling of being observed

527
00:46:28.960 --> 00:46:34.400
never abandoned me, stalking in every
corner and in every shadow that slipped through

528
00:46:34.480 --> 00:46:38.280
the corner of the eye. There
came a point where I realized that I

529
00:46:38.400 --> 00:46:44.320
could no longer bear this burden.
I just couldn' t admit it.

530
00:46:44.920 --> 00:46:51.440
I knew I needed help, that
facing this lonely darkness would only lead to

531
00:46:51.559 --> 00:46:57.239
my own destruction. That' s
when I decided it was time to get

532
00:46:57.920 --> 00:47:01.400
help, before it was too late. After discarding the idea of seeking help

533
00:47:01.480 --> 00:47:08.079
in the Church, recalling the disturbing
experiences of my past and the disconcerting situation

534
00:47:08.199 --> 00:47:14.880
with the statue of the Virgin,
I decided to explore other options. I

535
00:47:14.920 --> 00:47:19.639
went into forums and web pages looking
for anything that could help me and found

536
00:47:19.679 --> 00:47:24.920
references to paranormal specialists, people who
were dedicated to researching and helping those who

537
00:47:24.960 --> 00:47:34.719
faced unexplained phenomena. Skeptic at first, the lack of options prompted me to

538
00:47:34.800 --> 00:47:40.679
take desperate measures. After meticulously reviewing
the options, discarding one after the other,

539
00:47:42.119 --> 00:47:46.679
I ended up with a woman whose
references seemed the most promising, I

540
00:47:46.760 --> 00:47:50.840
decided to pick up the phone and
dial her number. The voice across the

541
00:47:50.920 --> 00:47:57.159
phone resonated calmly and professionally and as
I tried to explain with a trembling voice,

542
00:47:57.239 --> 00:48:01.960
my situation had begun to tell her
about me when she interrupted me by

543
00:48:02.079 --> 00:48:06.760
suggesting that it would be best to
have a meeting in person. The idea

544
00:48:06.800 --> 00:48:12.400
of confronting me face to face with
someone unknown filled me with anxiety. I

545
00:48:12.639 --> 00:48:15.920
also felt a ray of hope.
I thought maybe this woman, with her

546
00:48:15.960 --> 00:48:22.360
experience and knowledge, could offer me
some form of liberation. We agreed to

547
00:48:22.360 --> 00:48:27.679
meet at his office. The next
day, when we met, he told

548
00:48:27.719 --> 00:48:31.840
me that something dark surrounded me,
something evil, clinging to me like a

549
00:48:32.079 --> 00:48:37.400
persistent shadow. He offered me a
cup of tea and asked what it contained,

550
00:48:37.880 --> 00:48:40.840
but I was only incited to drink
it. Making sure it would do

551
00:48:40.960 --> 00:48:45.719
me good. I had a sip, a sudden dizziness. She wrapped me

552
00:48:45.360 --> 00:48:50.760
up, but she calmed me down
saying it was normal. Then he passed

553
00:48:50.840 --> 00:48:53.920
an egg through my body and broke
it in a glass of water. My

554
00:48:53.960 --> 00:49:00.039
heart sank when I saw the liquid
turn completely black, burning a nauseous smell

555
00:49:00.119 --> 00:49:07.159
that filled the room. The horror
took over me. As I watched the

556
00:49:07.280 --> 00:49:12.239
dark undulating liquid in the glass,
I could not even understand how that was

557
00:49:12.239 --> 00:49:16.360
possible. I looked at the woman
for answers, hoping she would offer me

558
00:49:16.400 --> 00:49:22.880
some words of encouragement or even some
compassionate look on her part. This wasn

559
00:49:22.960 --> 00:49:28.079
' t like that. The woman
watched the glass with an expression of concern,

560
00:49:28.719 --> 00:49:35.119
while the black liquid seemed to emanate
a darkness without saying a word.

561
00:49:35.599 --> 00:49:40.599
His eyes revealed a deeper understanding of
what was happening, an understanding that only

562
00:49:40.719 --> 00:49:47.360
increased my own sense of despair.
Suddenly a sharp pain pierced my stomach,

563
00:49:47.559 --> 00:49:53.800
twisting my bowels as if something was
struggling to get out, I screamed and

564
00:49:53.920 --> 00:49:59.599
unable to contain the torment that consumed
me from within. Then, with a

565
00:49:59.719 --> 00:50:05.760
growing ortho, I felt something emerging
from me, something twisted and viscous that

566
00:50:05.800 --> 00:50:09.400
was entangled in my bowels and rising
towards my throat. It was as if

567
00:50:09.519 --> 00:50:17.000
my own body was betraying me as
if it was being possessed by a force

568
00:50:17.079 --> 00:50:22.239
full of pain and horror. I
threw up what seemed to be hair and

569
00:50:22.320 --> 00:50:27.239
blood a deformed mass of nightmare that
twisted and shook on the floor Before us.

570
00:50:27.800 --> 00:50:32.360
The silence fell on the room,
flooding it completely, wrapping each corner

571
00:50:32.519 --> 00:50:37.599
in a mantle of disturbing calm.
The twisted figure on the ground that moments

572
00:50:37.639 --> 00:50:45.199
before had been the center of an
indescribable horror. It began to fade slowly

573
00:50:45.400 --> 00:50:51.119
as if there had never been both
of us stood there in a state of

574
00:50:51.119 --> 00:50:54.480
disbelief. The woman, with a
serene voice, explained that the diary she

575
00:50:54.559 --> 00:51:00.239
had spoken of seemed to be a
conduit for evil, an entity that fed

576
00:51:00.280 --> 00:51:05.880
on those who dared to look at
its pages. He seemed to have found

577
00:51:05.920 --> 00:51:09.679
a host willing in me feeding on
my energy and tormenting my soul. With

578
00:51:09.760 --> 00:51:15.760
her dark presence, I was breathless
before her words, feeling how the weight

579
00:51:15.800 --> 00:51:19.760
of truth sank into the depths of
my being as I wondered how it could

580
00:51:19.880 --> 00:51:24.639
be possible that something as innocent as
a diary could be a conduit, as

581
00:51:24.679 --> 00:51:31.159
the woman claimed remembering the inexplicable experiences
she had experienced, I could not deny

582
00:51:31.239 --> 00:51:37.159
the possibility of something darker and twisted
Behind those seemingly harmless pages, The woman

583
00:51:37.239 --> 00:51:43.960
suggested that we need to find a
way to break the link between me and

584
00:51:44.039 --> 00:51:49.679
the diary and free myself from its
evil influence. Before it was too late,

585
00:51:50.119 --> 00:51:53.320
I didn' t know which way
we' d take next. Maybe

586
00:51:53.440 --> 00:52:00.480
with the right help I could get
rid of that darkness that threatened to consume

587
00:52:00.480 --> 00:52:04.800
me completely. The woman continued to
perform all kinds of rituals about me.

588
00:52:05.480 --> 00:52:09.199
Nothing I was trying to do seemed
to work. The woman made some amulets

589
00:52:09.239 --> 00:52:15.440
in front of me, mostly made
of stones of strange colors. Upon completion,

590
00:52:15.599 --> 00:52:20.599
he handed them over to me and
gave precise instructions on how and where

591
00:52:20.599 --> 00:52:23.679
to place them. With the protective
amulets in hand, I returned home hoping

592
00:52:23.800 --> 00:52:30.079
that at least they would offer some
form of temporary respite against the forces that

593
00:52:30.079 --> 00:52:36.400
harassed me. The shadows seemed denser, the whispers more insistent and the air

594
00:52:36.440 --> 00:52:42.599
was charged with a feeling of discomfort. Despite wearing amulets, I couldn'

595
00:52:42.679 --> 00:52:47.039
t help but feel that I was
completely unprotected. Faced with this darkness that

596
00:52:47.079 --> 00:52:54.360
surrounded me determined not to let me
intimidate, I placed the amulets in strategic

597
00:52:54.440 --> 00:52:59.280
places around the house, just as
the woman had told me, hoping that,

598
00:52:59.800 --> 00:53:04.000
he knew odo, would offer at
least a momentary respite. Every corner

599
00:53:04.039 --> 00:53:08.920
I explored seemed to be imbued with
the presence of evil that had deeply rooted

600
00:53:09.000 --> 00:53:14.559
in my life and I realized that
amulets were not enough for the whole house.

601
00:53:15.679 --> 00:53:21.119
I wanted to hold on to the
hope that the amulets would offer some

602
00:53:21.119 --> 00:53:24.880
kind of protection. That night,
the dark presence around me made it clear

603
00:53:24.960 --> 00:53:31.599
that I would need more than mere
objects to stop it Every shadow seemed to

604
00:53:31.599 --> 00:53:36.519
wring with malice. I could not
understand how it was possible that, despite

605
00:53:36.559 --> 00:53:40.559
the heavy atmosphere that was all over
our home, my partner continued to sleep

606
00:53:40.639 --> 00:53:45.880
as if nothing in the world could
disturb her, while I was dying of

607
00:53:45.960 --> 00:53:51.840
anguish and fear. I was thinking
about that. When I was suddenly able

608
00:53:51.920 --> 00:53:55.679
to hear my partner speak slightly at
first, I thought I was talking asleep.

609
00:53:57.239 --> 00:54:02.599
I used to do that, but
what started out as inaudible babbling soon

610
00:54:02.639 --> 00:54:08.119
became clear words. Those words were
not the senseless conversations he was used to,

611
00:54:08.639 --> 00:54:15.800
for he turned to see me directly
and out of his throat came a

612
00:54:15.960 --> 00:54:20.960
voice that was completely certain that it
was not his own, but he did

613
00:54:21.000 --> 00:54:24.800
know well whose father Philip was.
I was so old without hearing that voice,

614
00:54:25.559 --> 00:54:31.239
but it took me just a second
to recognize it, for for years

615
00:54:31.239 --> 00:54:35.719
I was tormented as a child.
My partner repeated exactly the same words he

616
00:54:35.840 --> 00:54:40.400
used to say to me all the
time as if he continued with those impure

617
00:54:40.400 --> 00:54:45.519
thoughts. I' d make my
whole family go to hell and there'

618
00:54:45.599 --> 00:54:50.639
d be no other culprit but me. I also repeated how much my parents

619
00:54:50.679 --> 00:54:57.119
were ashamed of my behavior and how
God hated me. I was so old

620
00:54:57.159 --> 00:55:00.760
without hearing those horrible things that my
parents were even aware of and supported,

621
00:55:01.199 --> 00:55:06.559
that I didn' t know how
to act on it. I had never

622
00:55:06.639 --> 00:55:12.239
told my partner exactly what that horrible
man was telling me and I had no

623
00:55:12.360 --> 00:55:16.800
idea how she might know. He
said a lot of insults to me,

624
00:55:19.119 --> 00:55:22.480
changing voices, some of them were
from my parents. I couldn' t

625
00:55:22.559 --> 00:55:25.519
stand it for long. All that
brought me very bad memories and made me

626
00:55:25.639 --> 00:55:31.960
feel too vulnerable. Then I began
to shake my partner with the intention of

627
00:55:31.960 --> 00:55:37.159
waking her up, of pulling her
out of the trance, but no matter

628
00:55:37.199 --> 00:55:42.800
what she did or how strong.
The agitator kept talking and soon began to

629
00:55:42.840 --> 00:55:47.079
laugh in a dreadful way, not
knowing what else to do. I got

630
00:55:47.199 --> 00:55:51.840
up and got out of the room. I locked the door behind me and

631
00:55:51.880 --> 00:55:58.360
sat on the floor. I could
still hear my partner continue to speak insultingly,

632
00:55:58.400 --> 00:56:04.519
who was convinced she would never tell
me. I was trying to repeat

633
00:56:04.920 --> 00:56:07.079
to myself over and over again that
it couldn' t be. My partner

634
00:56:07.760 --> 00:56:15.599
completely refused to believe it and that
I just had to endure that it would

635
00:56:15.599 --> 00:56:20.840
probably all happen. That must have
lasted almost an hour before I stopped listening

636
00:56:20.920 --> 00:56:25.440
to those horrible voices. I didn' t want to go into the room

637
00:56:25.559 --> 00:56:29.840
even though I knew it wasn'
t her. I couldn' t even

638
00:56:29.880 --> 00:56:34.079
think of seeing her. At that
moment I just stood outside until finally the

639
00:56:34.559 --> 00:56:40.039
tiredness could with me and fell asleep. When the sun woke up, it

640
00:56:40.079 --> 00:56:45.480
lit up the room, but the
weight of the night before was still on

641
00:56:45.480 --> 00:56:50.559
me. I got up with caution, fearing what I would find when I

642
00:56:50.679 --> 00:56:54.000
opened the door to the room where
I had left my partner, turned the

643
00:56:54.079 --> 00:56:59.800
knob and found a disturbing silence.
Upon entering my partner lay in the quiet

644
00:57:00.360 --> 00:57:05.199
and peaceful bed, as if nothing
had happened. I approached cautiously, looking

645
00:57:05.400 --> 00:57:09.000
for some sign of what had happened
the night before, but found nothing out

646
00:57:09.079 --> 00:57:15.719
of place. I thought that entity
might well have caused me to imagine all

647
00:57:16.320 --> 00:57:22.920
that would not be the first time. I also thought it might well have

648
00:57:22.039 --> 00:57:29.119
been a lucid dream, but again, none of those answers seemed satisfactory to

649
00:57:29.119 --> 00:57:34.599
me. Despite the apparent normality,
the feeling of restlessness persisted in the depths

650
00:57:34.679 --> 00:57:40.440
of my being I knew I could
not ignore what I had witnessed. My

651
00:57:40.519 --> 00:57:45.920
partner woke up to feel my presence. He was so happy to wish me

652
00:57:45.000 --> 00:57:50.760
good morning that I didn' t
have the heart to tell him what happened

653
00:57:50.760 --> 00:57:53.079
the night before. After all,
as I said before, she wasn'

654
00:57:53.159 --> 00:58:00.599
t to blame for anything. Conscious
would never have said such horrible things.

655
00:58:00.119 --> 00:58:06.800
After what was a quiet morning in
which I tried to look normal, she

656
00:58:07.440 --> 00:58:14.239
ended up going to work, leaving
me only immediately to make sure that I

657
00:58:14.320 --> 00:58:20.159
would not come back for anything that
she had forgotten, I decided to call

658
00:58:20.280 --> 00:58:24.480
the woman I needed to tell her
everything happened, let her know that now

659
00:58:24.559 --> 00:58:28.920
everything was more urgent whatever that was, which was stalking me. I was

660
00:58:28.960 --> 00:58:34.599
starting to mess with my partner without
her even knowing. When I finished telling

661
00:58:34.719 --> 00:58:38.119
everything that had happened the night before, she told me that it would be

662
00:58:38.320 --> 00:58:43.840
best to go directly to the source
of all the trouble that was my home.

663
00:58:44.480 --> 00:58:49.039
It was not long before she arrived
almost an hour and when she was

664
00:58:49.079 --> 00:58:53.400
there, she said that this seemed
to be much worse than she had anticipated,

665
00:58:54.039 --> 00:59:00.559
since there seemed to be no corner
in the house, that was not

666
00:59:00.719 --> 00:59:04.559
impregnated with that evil presence. She
went into the house and took a tour

667
00:59:04.679 --> 00:59:07.599
of the whole place. In conclusion, he told me that the place where

668
00:59:07.719 --> 00:59:13.519
everything felt much stronger was in the
bookstore that was where everything had started.

669
00:59:15.360 --> 00:59:20.079
That thing seemed to have gotten very
comfortable and it wasn' t going to

670
00:59:20.119 --> 00:59:22.719
be easy to kick her out of
there. With every word the woman uttered,

671
00:59:23.679 --> 00:59:30.039
she felt like a chill. The
idea that that evil entity had taken

672
00:59:30.079 --> 00:59:35.599
root in my home, especially in
the place where it all started, was

673
00:59:35.719 --> 00:59:39.360
in my back, was terrifying.
Despite my fear, I also felt a

674
00:59:39.880 --> 00:59:45.559
little hope knowing that I was not
alone in this struggle with the woman’

675
00:59:45.639 --> 00:59:50.880
s guide would face the evil that
was hiding in the shadows of my own

676
00:59:50.920 --> 00:59:57.000
home. The woman performed a couple
of rituals. Every time I finished,

677
00:59:57.320 --> 01:00:01.159
I could see that she seemed more
and more worried. I didn' t

678
01:00:01.239 --> 01:00:06.519
know anything about rituals, but I
could understand when something didn' t work.

679
01:00:07.079 --> 01:00:10.960
It seemed that she was running out
of ideas and for every second that

680
01:00:12.039 --> 01:00:16.480
passed, the atmosphere became much heavier, as if that entity did not wish

681
01:00:16.719 --> 01:00:22.360
to have her there. As the
woman performed her rituals, she could perceive

682
01:00:22.440 --> 01:00:29.039
her growing concern. Each attempt seemed
to hit an invisible barrier and the environment

683
01:00:29.159 --> 01:00:34.239
became denser. With every moment that
happened. It was evident that the evil

684
01:00:34.440 --> 01:00:39.400
entity was not willing to give up
its dominion so easily. I felt powerless

685
01:00:39.480 --> 01:00:44.840
in the face of this situation,
unable to offer meaningful help. Beyond being

686
01:00:44.880 --> 01:00:49.760
a distressed witness to women' s
efforts. The feeling of oppression in the

687
01:00:49.800 --> 01:00:54.920
room intensified with every failed attempt,
as if evil itself was resisting with all

688
01:00:55.000 --> 01:01:01.679
its might. As time went by, tiredness began to grow stronger. In

689
01:01:01.760 --> 01:01:07.079
us. The woman seemed exhausted by
her efforts and I felt as if I

690
01:01:07.159 --> 01:01:12.719
was on the verge of an abyss
about to be swept away by the despair

691
01:01:12.719 --> 01:01:16.840
that threatened to flood me the time
came when I knew my partner was about

692
01:01:16.880 --> 01:01:22.199
to arrive and I was not yet
ready to tell her everything that was happening.

693
01:01:22.960 --> 01:01:25.320
I told him that if, please, we could go on with all

694
01:01:25.320 --> 01:01:30.960
that. The next day he said
he was fine. She was feeling a

695
01:01:30.039 --> 01:01:35.639
little tired, almost as if the
mere fact of being there exhausted her.

696
01:01:36.440 --> 01:01:39.280
But before he left he asked me
if, please, I could use the

697
01:01:39.280 --> 01:01:43.440
bathroom. I didn' t see
any reason why I couldn' t do

698
01:01:43.440 --> 01:01:45.719
it. I let her pass by
by pointing out where the bathroom was.

699
01:01:46.079 --> 01:01:51.039
He shouldn' t have been there
more than five minutes when I heard a

700
01:01:51.039 --> 01:01:55.119
scream. To this day I have
no idea what he saw. I ran

701
01:01:55.159 --> 01:02:00.960
to the bathroom to ask him if
he was okay, but I didn'

702
01:02:00.000 --> 01:02:05.400
t get any answers from him.
Desperate, I chose to enter When I

703
01:02:05.440 --> 01:02:08.719
forced the door, she was on
the floor, had her eyes blank and

704
01:02:08.800 --> 01:02:14.039
was pulling what seemed to foam out
of her mouth. I didn' t

705
01:02:14.119 --> 01:02:19.280
know what to do but call 911. It is also to say that everything

706
01:02:19.320 --> 01:02:22.880
caused my partner to notice everything that
had happened and I had no choice but

707
01:02:23.119 --> 01:02:29.159
to tell him absolutely. Everything.
It was the first time I noticed that

708
01:02:29.239 --> 01:02:34.039
he did not take my words with
disbelief. I guess I knew something really

709
01:02:34.119 --> 01:02:38.519
bad should be happening so I couldn' t give up on it. I

710
01:02:38.599 --> 01:02:44.639
was very reassured to know that for
the first time I believed in my words,

711
01:02:45.280 --> 01:02:47.679
I didn' t know what to
do or say to comfort me or

712
01:02:47.679 --> 01:02:51.199
even give me some comfort. He
assured me that whatever was going to happen,

713
01:02:51.360 --> 01:02:57.320
he' d be with me at
all times. The woman never came

714
01:02:57.320 --> 01:02:59.920
back. He did manage to calm
down the vibes of the place a little

715
01:02:59.920 --> 01:03:05.920
bit. Little by little they were
losing strength and again, just as the

716
01:03:06.000 --> 01:03:12.280
visions were increasing. My partner was
still unable to witness any of these.

717
01:03:12.320 --> 01:03:15.480
I have no idea why this was
happening, nor does she. What he

718
01:03:15.840 --> 01:03:22.639
did start to feel was a certain
unpleasant scent, which sometimes flooded our home

719
01:03:22.119 --> 01:03:28.440
He also told me that sometimes,
when he was alone at home, he

720
01:03:29.079 --> 01:03:32.559
could hear someone running down the hall, or when he was in charge of

721
01:03:32.599 --> 01:03:37.440
the bookstore, he could hear the
doorbell ringing when someone came in, but

722
01:03:38.199 --> 01:03:43.519
when he was going to attend to
the client he found that there was no

723
01:03:43.519 --> 01:03:46.679
one. Other than that, she
couldn' t see what I, for

724
01:03:46.760 --> 01:03:52.719
one, wasn' t right.
Every day it all got worse. I

725
01:03:52.840 --> 01:03:58.559
practically spent it without sleeping. I
couldn' t do it for more than

726
01:03:58.599 --> 01:04:03.639
thirty minutes without starting to have a
terrible nightmare and when they didn' t

727
01:04:03.639 --> 01:04:08.039
show up, I could hear my
partner talking about all those horrible things.

728
01:04:09.360 --> 01:04:14.119
I didn' t want her to
know and feel bad about herself for not

729
01:04:14.159 --> 01:04:17.480
being able to control it. My
health was in decline every day my partner.

730
01:04:17.719 --> 01:04:23.920
First of all, the paranormal theme
also remained quite rational and took me

731
01:04:24.000 --> 01:04:29.280
different doctors and specialists in order to
know what was happening to me. Every

732
01:04:29.400 --> 01:04:34.000
day I looked thinner to the point
of looking like a walking skeleton. This

733
01:04:34.239 --> 01:04:39.440
could be because I couldn' t
eat anything without wanting to throw up.

734
01:04:40.039 --> 01:04:45.599
Sometimes I felt a strong cramp in
my stomach, which caused me to throw

735
01:04:45.599 --> 01:04:51.000
up. Sometimes I vomited hair and
sometimes a blackish substance, rather pestilent viscose.

736
01:04:54.280 --> 01:04:58.840
Despite consulting numerous doctors and subjecting me
to countless studies, no one could

737
01:04:59.400 --> 01:05:04.000
give a diagnosis of what was happening
to me. All the results were negative

738
01:05:04.119 --> 01:05:11.800
to any illness my partner might consider
had even abandoned his skepticism and had taken

739
01:05:11.840 --> 01:05:15.960
me with some healers and people like
the woman who had tried to help me.

740
01:05:16.559 --> 01:05:20.840
Most of them were completely refusing to
work with me. They said there

741
01:05:20.880 --> 01:05:26.039
wasn' t much to do for
me and that if they tried anything,

742
01:05:26.199 --> 01:05:30.320
it would be they who would get
hurt. The emotional and physical burden became

743
01:05:30.440 --> 01:05:35.639
increasingly overwhelming. Every day was a
battle against pain and fear. While my

744
01:05:35.679 --> 01:05:42.800
body and mind were weakened by the
persistent presence of the unknown. Despite the

745
01:05:42.840 --> 01:05:47.960
efforts of my partner and the various
specialists, my condition continued to deteriorate without

746
01:05:48.119 --> 01:05:56.079
a clear explanation or solution. The
nights became even more tortuous, plagued by

747
01:05:56.119 --> 01:06:01.519
nightmares that interwoven with reality. The
eyes and voices in the darkness intensified.

748
01:06:04.360 --> 01:06:10.599
My partner, bewildered and fearful of
my well- being, was still standing

749
01:06:10.679 --> 01:06:15.400
by me offering her support. Together
we explored any path that promised a possible

750
01:06:15.400 --> 01:06:19.960
solution, but each attempt seemed to
take us ever further away from finding a

751
01:06:19.960 --> 01:06:26.000
solution. The feeling of being trapped
in an endless cycle of suffering became increasingly

752
01:06:26.079 --> 01:06:32.079
overwhelming. Every attempt to find a
logical explanation or an effective cure became a

753
01:06:32.119 --> 01:06:39.320
dead end. As time passed,
the hope of a normal life slowly faded

754
01:06:39.400 --> 01:06:46.440
away, replaced by resignation to an
uncertain and frightening destiny. My partner used

755
01:06:46.519 --> 01:06:51.039
to be a little more religious than
I didn' t believe much in the

756
01:06:51.119 --> 01:06:56.480
Church, believed in a higher being
than he seemed to pray to him every

757
01:06:56.480 --> 01:06:59.719
night so that I would be well. The days passed and I felt like

758
01:06:59.920 --> 01:07:04.360
I would die. I had even
resigned myself about it, but my partner

759
01:07:04.480 --> 01:07:10.880
didn' t. I suggested going
to the Church just to try as a

760
01:07:10.880 --> 01:07:15.840
desperate method, but only to remember
how whatever was haunting me had managed to

761
01:07:15.880 --> 01:07:20.639
infiltrate it to torment me with that
figure of the Virgin Mary. It made

762
01:07:20.679 --> 01:07:25.519
me think it wasn' t worth
a try. And not only that.

763
01:07:25.920 --> 01:07:30.519
In some of my nightmares I could
see some sacred symbols. Even in one

764
01:07:30.639 --> 01:07:35.920
of them I had clearly dreamed of
Jesus Christ trying to drag me through a

765
01:07:35.920 --> 01:07:41.519
dark hallway. This is one of
the nightmares I could never erase from my

766
01:07:41.559 --> 01:07:46.320
mind because I was disturbed by my
refusal. My partner decided to go to

767
01:07:46.400 --> 01:07:51.159
church on his own and bring a
father to bless the house. I didn

768
01:07:51.199 --> 01:07:56.079
' t agree very much, but
I didn' t object at all.

769
01:07:56.800 --> 01:08:01.639
Once he was there, he did
his job and blessed the house. What

770
01:08:01.679 --> 01:08:06.119
follows is a little hard to tell. It' s by far the strongest

771
01:08:06.159 --> 01:08:13.280
thing that' s ever happened to
me since this started one night I had

772
01:08:13.400 --> 01:08:15.560
fallen asleep in the living room and
I don' t know what my partner

773
01:08:15.560 --> 01:08:20.920
heard. He probably heard that I
asked for help or something, because his

774
01:08:21.039 --> 01:08:27.199
voice woke me up asking what was
going on and that it made me get

775
01:08:27.319 --> 01:08:30.039
off the couch a little confused.
I hadn' t said anything for her

776
01:08:30.119 --> 01:08:35.439
to go down I went straight to
the stairs and she was on the same

777
01:08:35.560 --> 01:08:40.600
stairs about to go down. That' s when I saw the dreadful creature,

778
01:08:41.239 --> 01:08:45.439
which seemed to materialize behind it from
moment to moment and pushed it.

779
01:08:45.600 --> 01:08:50.760
Everything happened so fast in front of
my eyes I could hear the heavy blows

780
01:08:51.359 --> 01:08:56.239
as I fell and when it came
to my feet, it was more than

781
01:08:56.359 --> 01:08:58.600
clear that it looked like I was
dead. I was in a state of

782
01:08:58.680 --> 01:09:02.319
total shock. I couldn' t
even move in front of that horrible scene.

783
01:09:02.960 --> 01:09:08.640
I couldn' t even do anything
about it, but hear a hideous,

784
01:09:08.880 --> 01:09:14.800
mocking laugh that resounded in every corner
of my home. When I got

785
01:09:14.840 --> 01:09:20.119
a little out of that trance,
I immediately called 911, but they only

786
01:09:20.239 --> 01:09:25.720
came to confirm what I already knew. She had died, she had broken

787
01:09:25.760 --> 01:09:30.960
her neck with the fall had taken
away from me what she wanted the most

788
01:09:30.960 --> 01:09:33.760
in the world. The only thing
that gave me strength every day to move

789
01:09:33.760 --> 01:09:39.479
on. From that day on everything
changed for me I gave up completely and

790
01:09:39.760 --> 01:09:45.920
thought that very soon I would die
too. Although all this came to a

791
01:09:45.960 --> 01:09:50.760
little decrease. I can still hear
it at night, meow whispers and what

792
01:09:50.840 --> 01:09:55.720
' s worse, sometimes I can
hear my partner' s voice. Sometimes

793
01:09:55.760 --> 01:10:00.279
it seems like he' s just
calling me, but other times I can

794
01:10:00.359 --> 01:10:04.319
hear, scream, and blame myself
for everything that happened. I have no

795
01:10:04.560 --> 01:10:10.640
idea what that diary was that only
brought misfortune to my life. I curse

796
01:10:10.720 --> 01:10:15.279
the time I opened it and read
its pages. I hope it' s

797
01:10:15.399 --> 01:10:17.880
all over one day. I don' t want this to go on much

798
01:10:17.880 --> 01:10:25.399
longer. Story written and adapted by
