1
00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:11.279
The nuhual. I don' t
know where to start. This story is

2
00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:15.480
by far the most shocking and traumatizing
situation I' ve ever lived in my

3
00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:20.800
entire life. So much so that
because of this I almost completely sidelined my

4
00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:26.480
work as a military officer. When
one enlists one knows that one is mentally

5
00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:32.320
prepared to survive situations that could be
very exhausting for the human mind. But

6
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:36.880
without a doubt, the last thing
we hope to live is a situation like

7
00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:41.600
the one that happened to me.
He was twenty- seven years old and

8
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:44.359
had been in the army for quite
some time now. I didn' t

9
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:50.920
have a high post yet, but
if I was quite familiar, as they

10
00:00:51.159 --> 00:00:56.439
used to assign me dangerous missions or
things that were really important, I felt

11
00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:00.240
that I was doing good in that
place. One day I was assigned to

12
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:03.640
a place that, if I had
known everything I was going to live,

13
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:07.959
I would not have accepted. I
won' t say exactly where it was,

14
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:12.000
as the last thing I want is
for people to try to go to

15
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:19.439
that place to be able to check
it out, because this story is true,

16
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:21.760
so you just have to believe me
I can tell you that this happened

17
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:26.560
in Chiapas. We had a simple
and concrete mission, which was to infiltrate

18
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:33.560
a poster base, which was quite
dangerous. We were quite convinced that that

19
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:38.359
day would be a big blow against
organized crime. But things don' t

20
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:42.840
always turn out the way you expect
them. We were betrayed or so I

21
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:48.120
think, as they seemed to be
waiting for us before we could even carry

22
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:53.120
out the first part of the plan. We were ambushed and subjected to seeing

23
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:57.120
my friends fall Thanks to a snitch
it left no room for hope. It

24
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:01.359
all happened so fast. I heard
one day I shot and then the body

25
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:07.079
of one of my friends fell and
then another. It wasn' t long

26
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:12.800
before they got to me. I
was practically resigned when a shot was heard,

27
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:15.639
but it didn' t go to
me. That shot was followed by

28
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:21.039
many more. Apparently, the army
wasn' t the only one looking at

29
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:27.439
that sign. Others also wanted to
end them and had agreed that at that

30
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:31.599
time they also wanted to ambush them. I found myself soon in the middle

31
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:37.159
of a shooting. They weren'
t interested in me, so I just

32
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:40.599
had to jump on the ground and
crawl with my last strength until I got

33
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:47.280
safe. When I was finally away
from the firing range, I managed to

34
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:53.400
remove my ties and finally stood up. I knew it wasn' t worth

35
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:58.719
coming back, as there was no
other survivor. I also knew that my

36
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:02.719
base was not that far away,
but since I could not use the road

37
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:07.120
that was commonly used, as it
was on the other side of the place

38
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:12.240
where I had barely made it out
alive, I decided to take a road

39
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:15.080
through the jungle. For my fortune, I managed to find an old backpack,

40
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:22.039
which had a little water and some
beat meat strips. So I took

41
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:25.639
the backpack and went into the jungle. I didn' t think this was

42
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:30.599
much trouble. I considered myself a
good survivor and had a very good sense

43
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:36.080
of guidance. I figured if everything
went as planned, I' d be

44
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:42.000
getting to my base near dusk.
Before walking, I decided to check what

45
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:46.280
condition my body was in, which
had some wounds, although at first sight

46
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:51.919
I didn' t think it was
so important, so I thought that when

47
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:55.800
I got there in time to be
cared for, I shouldn' t have

48
00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:59.560
any problem with that. In my
mind I set out to walk. I

49
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:02.960
had tied a piece of cloth to
one of my arms, in which I

50
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:08.879
had a very ugly wound in order
for it to stop bleeding, although it

51
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:13.400
must have been much deeper than I
thought, as the bleeding did not stop

52
00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:18.759
as I walked further. I knew
it was going to be a lot harder

53
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:23.120
than I' d calculated. The
time of my arrival at my base.

54
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:28.920
It was based on that this would
be if I found myself in optimal condition,

55
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:32.720
but because it was rainy season,
the road was very muddy and it

56
00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:38.199
was much more complicated to cross there, so sometimes I had to surround and

57
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:45.800
that meant more time than expected as
expected. It was made me at night

58
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:48.920
walking. I didn' t want
to stop, despite being very tired.

59
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:54.759
My muscles were begging me to stop, so, knowing that still, I

60
00:04:54.839 --> 00:05:00.800
would not reach my base until surely
the next day, I decided to take

61
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:04.439
a little break to recover some energy. I' ve been looking for a

62
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:12.000
while, but I finally gave up
not finding somewhere to rest that was dry.

63
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:17.720
I knew I shouldn' t go
too far, since the roads could

64
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:23.759
be quite treacherous and you didn'
t know the place well, apart from

65
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:30.079
some animal traps, so I had
to walk even more carefully and not to

66
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:34.879
mention all sorts of creatures going out
hunting at night. I finally managed to

67
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:40.120
find a hole in a small slope, which, despite not being very comfortable,

68
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:44.439
seemed to be empty. And that
was what mattered most to me at

69
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:48.720
the time. I decided to sit
inside him and soon came across a new

70
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:56.000
problem. As soon as my body
began to relax a little, my eyelids

71
00:05:56.040 --> 00:06:00.800
became extremely heavy. The last thing
I had to do in that area was

72
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:06.319
fall asleep, as I knew that
any predator could be stalking and since,

73
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:12.759
as I said before, it was
rainy season. It was completely impossible to

74
00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:16.639
make a bonfire, so it was
completely at the mercy of any predator.

75
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:23.439
At that time, my body stopped
thinking rationally, I was exhausted and I

76
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:29.759
needed to sleep, so finally my
body succumbed completely to tiredness in a deep

77
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:35.439
sleep. I have no idea how
long I slept, but it must have

78
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:41.319
been about thirty minutes. I completely
lost any kind of notion of time or

79
00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:46.519
thought about survival. My body was
so tired, it just went out.

80
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:54.759
When suddenly I woke up alerted by
a slight grunt. I immediately stood up

81
00:06:54.879 --> 00:07:00.199
and started looking around to see what
exactly was done to me. I couldn

82
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:04.959
' t see anything, but I
could feel watched. My greatest fear at

83
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:11.959
that time was that I would be
a jaguar those creatures that had really fascinated

84
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:16.920
me since childhood and being a great
connoisseur of these creatures, I also knew

85
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:21.480
how extremely dangerous they could become.
I knew that with just one claw,

86
00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:28.439
these could open my stomach completely and
start eating before I was even dead.

87
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:33.439
I was thinking about that possibility.
When I could see in the darkness of

88
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:39.839
the jungle a pair of yellow eyes
were like a couple of marbles half hidden

89
00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:45.519
by the darkness, which stared at
me. I didn' t know what

90
00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:50.639
to do, so I just stood
completely still. I thought any sudden movement

91
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:58.959
could trigger my inevitable attack. After
a while it seemed to be heard,

92
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:05.920
as those yellow houses lost their brightness
completely and I soon stopped feeling watched over

93
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:09.519
that sense of fear. Little by
little it faded away. I knew I

94
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:15.560
couldn' t fall asleep anymore,
because if I did, it would probably

95
00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:18.639
be the last thing I would do. So with that new energy I had

96
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:24.920
gained. Thanks to that little nap, I decided to go on my way.

97
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:28.439
I didn' t walk for long, maybe seven minutes, long before

98
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:35.200
I felt that feeling again. If
I was observed there I knew what was

99
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:39.759
going on whatever was looking at me, seemed to want to play with me.

100
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:46.120
I had read that some predators did
that, so I decided to rush

101
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:50.120
through. I didn' t know
what I was up against, and besides,

102
00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:54.559
I knew I wouldn' t stand
a chance against any predator. Even

103
00:08:54.600 --> 00:09:00.519
at my best, it was a
battle I couldn' t win. I

104
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:05.559
began to rush through as I seemed
calm. I thought that when I was

105
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:11.600
calm, this one would think that
he had nothing to fear, because he

106
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:15.919
knew that he could face it and
then he would just leave. But that

107
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:20.240
didn' t happen. Suddenly,
a pair of yellow eyes made me stop

108
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:28.919
dry between darkness and nature staring at
me as I thought of my chances of

109
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:35.279
winning a race against a jaguar.
This one jumped right in front of me.

110
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:39.399
It was when I could see it
in its maximum expression, although it

111
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:43.039
was not a jaguar, it was
quite similar. I had no idea it

112
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:48.240
was, since, as I said
before, jaguars were almost an obsession to

113
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:52.159
me and that animal was not at
all a jaguar. It had a skin,

114
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:58.840
slightly grayish and yellow, but it
was mostly grayish. It had stains,

115
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:01.840
but they were quite diffuse in front
of it. They were almost blurred

116
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:05.960
with their fur and, although they
looked like a cat, their ears were

117
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:11.039
elongated like those of a lynx and
had a long tail, which seemed to

118
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:18.200
end in what seemed to be a
hand. I know exactly how crazy that

119
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:22.200
sounds, but it' s the
closest I can compare to what I had

120
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:28.080
at the tip of my tail seemed
pretty threatening. As he walked towards me,

121
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:31.879
I didn' t know what else
to do but turn my back on

122
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:37.080
him. I knew that would be
my ruin, although the more I walked

123
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:41.960
the more I noticed that this one
would very soon pounce on me. I

124
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:46.039
was thinking of all my possibilities.
When my mind crossed the idea of attacking

125
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:50.519
him. The only thing I had
with me to defend myself was a very

126
00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:54.440
old Swiss knife, which I had
found in that old backpack. When I

127
00:10:54.480 --> 00:11:00.320
inspected her to see exactly what means
she had to get out of those jungles.

128
00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:05.639
I knew that thing would do no
good against that animal, so I

129
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:11.519
opted for the most viable option,
which was to run aside. I knew

130
00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:16.519
that would completely divert me from my
path and it would probably take me a

131
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:22.799
lot more to find it again,
but I had no choice if I wanted

132
00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:26.159
to survive while running the animal,
which, apparently, I didn' t

133
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:28.919
expect to run, was behind me. Although there was already some advantage,

134
00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:33.360
I knew it would reach me quickly, so I decided to hide behind a

135
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:39.320
huge tree. Soon I found myself
trying to calm my breath to make it

136
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:45.759
as quiet as possible. When I
could hear that huge animal passing by,

137
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:50.440
I could see how extremely fast it
was and seeing the best, I also

138
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:56.200
realized that it was an exorbitantly large
size, as, despite being far away,

139
00:11:56.559 --> 00:12:01.679
I could still see how huge it
was. I knew it was only

140
00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:07.279
a matter of time before he realized
that I had been lost and started looking

141
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:11.519
for my trail. Again. I
also knew that I had to continue on

142
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:16.840
my way to my base without knowing
if I would have the same luck I

143
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:20.840
had at the time to lose it, I had to act quickly. So

144
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:26.200
after thinking about it a little bit, I knew that my only option would

145
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:31.440
be to set him up from the
ones I had seen so that he would

146
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:35.279
be trapped long enough for me to
get back to my base and be safe.

147
00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:39.480
I think the worst part of that
plan was to have to go back

148
00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:46.320
to where those traps were, as
they were a little behind and every movement

149
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:52.480
or sound made me believe that that
creature had found me back. But for

150
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:56.759
my fortune, I managed to get
to them and I set out to disarm

151
00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:01.960
one and arm it in a better
place was a plan, but to put

152
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:09.000
myself as bait to run into the
trap, jump in the last second and

153
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:11.480
then it would be trapped and I
could continue my path. I covered the

154
00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:16.279
trap with mud and leaves. Everything
seemed pretty good and it didn' t

155
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:20.519
take long for my suspicions that that
thing wasn' t going to give up

156
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:26.320
on me to be true, because
soon I started to feel watched and again

157
00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:31.960
I saw it. I walked back, as I had done before, looking

158
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:35.519
it in the eye, although this
time the creature seemed to know that I

159
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:41.799
would soon run. So he started
doing the first thing, so I didn

160
00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:46.840
' t even have time to think
before I also started running. I knew

161
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:50.279
it was only a matter of time
before I was caught. So, taking

162
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:58.120
him straight into that trap, I
jumped right at the right time. While

163
00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:01.960
I was still standing on the ground, thinking it would be food from that

164
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:07.120
thing, I saw that my plan
had worked. One of the legs of

165
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:13.200
this huge feline was caught in the
trap. I could see how it closed

166
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:18.039
and had crossed her skin. The
animal began to pull out trying to free

167
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:24.399
itself with great insistence. This did
not help, as much was being done.

168
00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:30.679
I was standing on the ground as
I watched that event. I thought

169
00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:37.320
he' d stop at some point
when the pain was totally unbearable, though

170
00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:41.480
after a while. It was very
obvious to me that he wasn' t

171
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:45.960
going to stop until he got free
and finally did, but he left his

172
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:50.399
leg there. Left could not believe
what my eyes had witnessed seriously. That

173
00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:56.960
animal had torn off one of his
limbs to get his freedom. Once this

174
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:01.639
one was free, he looked at
me dis Crno I thought that would be

175
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:05.639
my end and that he would attack
me right away. But for my fortune,

176
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:11.799
this was not so, but,
finally being liberated, this feline turned

177
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:18.919
around and ran losing himself in the
dark. I was still quite shocked,

178
00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:24.559
so I had just seen how in
the trap his leg was still there,

179
00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:31.399
which was much bigger than my hand. My brain was still trying to process

180
00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:35.799
everything when I told myself that that
was something no one was going to believe

181
00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:41.120
me and it was just at that
moment that I thought I' d take

182
00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:43.360
it, even if it was the
wrong thing to do with me. I

183
00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:48.480
wanted proof of what had just happened
to me and knew that many would not

184
00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:52.000
believe me how great that animal had
been. Unless it took them that.

185
00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:56.480
I wrapped that huge leg in my
sweater and after putting it in my backpack,

186
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:03.279
I continued my path, which,
for my fortune, had no major

187
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:07.080
inconvenience, although I must admit that
any sound or feeling of being observed,

188
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:12.039
made me tremble, as I believed
that the animal had returned. This was

189
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:18.960
until I finally got to my base. I was received quite well with many

190
00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:23.279
questions and words of comfort for the
loss of my squadron. I was seen

191
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:30.840
by our doctors and was also rehydrated
and when I could finally re- establish

192
00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:33.639
myself I told what I had lived
in the jungle. It was not surprising

193
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:37.000
that I raised more than one eyebrow
when I gave the description of that huge

194
00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:41.960
cat. That' s when I
mentioned that I had proof. I took

195
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:47.679
the sweater in which I had rolled
that animal' s leg. When I

196
00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:52.720
finished unwrapping it, everyone saw how
my face turned into a grimace of terror

197
00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:56.159
and confusion, for what was wrapped
in that sweater was not the leg of

198
00:16:56.240 --> 00:17:03.319
an animal, but it was a
human hand. I didn' t know

199
00:17:03.319 --> 00:17:07.039
how to explain that. I wanted
to, but the fact that I had

200
00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:12.880
a human hand already made many doubt
what had really happened. Some believed he

201
00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:18.079
had killed someone and then cut off
his hand. But I knew this wasn

202
00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:25.680
' t the case. There was
a long investigation into that. Finally it

203
00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:29.839
could be ruled that I had not
done such a thing. I had to

204
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:34.160
take a lot of therapy, as
they thought that, because of the impact

205
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:40.240
of everything I' ve lived through, my brain had gone into shock and

206
00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:41.799
invented certain things so that I could
block what really happened. This experience,

207
00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:47.759
as I said before, almost made
me leave that life, but for my

208
00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:51.279
fortune I managed to overcome it.
I don' t know what I saw

209
00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:55.519
in the jungle that night. That
experience led me to be a little more

210
00:17:55.559 --> 00:18:00.000
open about the whole paranormal subject and
also a little bit of witches, because

211
00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:06.079
when I told a friend of mine, he mentioned something about Nahuales already know

212
00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:11.799
those people who take the form of
some animal. That makes a little sense,

213
00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:17.799
since that animal is nothing like something
I would have seen before. From

214
00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:21.920
time to time I investigate it,
I can' t say that I became

215
00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:26.799
a fan of the subject, but
from that day I see the world with

216
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:30.759
other eyes. I don' t
know if I' ll ever experience something

217
00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:33.720
similar again, since I haven'
t done it since that day, but

218
00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:45.799
at least I' m convinced that
if I do, I' ll be

219
00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:52.079
a little more prepared to do it. Many people consider being military an interesting

220
00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:59.279
and exciting job. It brings with
it many responsibilities and things which we often

221
00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:03.440
have to guard against. I'
m not sure the last time I could

222
00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:10.039
talk about my job. While some
stories I can tell, some I have

223
00:19:10.119 --> 00:19:15.000
to save or omit details, as
they are too strong for normal people to

224
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:22.200
endure. I have many experiences,
both my own and lived by colleagues.

225
00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:27.519
I guess we' re the only
ones who can talk and understand perfectly the

226
00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:32.960
things that can happen. What I
want to tell you is one of the

227
00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:37.480
cases that I consider quite shocking about
how grotesque it is. In one of

228
00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:42.359
my first years of service, I
met a squadron of about seven people and

229
00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:48.160
we all got along pretty well.
We got the task of reviewing a path

230
00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:55.599
that was presumed to be used by
people who used to engage in illegal activities

231
00:19:55.640 --> 00:20:00.839
such as human trafficking. That road
was so desertic and far away from everything

232
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:06.519
that made it perfect for committing such
crimes we headed to the coordinates we had

233
00:20:06.599 --> 00:20:11.079
been given. I remember even talking
to one of my colleagues about how he

234
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:17.640
was excited that after that mission he
could take a vacation with his wife and

235
00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:22.680
newborn son. He was about to
show me some pictures of his son.

236
00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:26.799
When we made a stop, I
thought we had already arrived at the intended

237
00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:30.440
place. This wasn' t like
that. Although it was a rather desolate

238
00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:37.440
road, we did not stop for
it, but because there were three women

239
00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:41.880
in front of us, or so
they seemed from a distance. I couldn

240
00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:47.359
' t assure you at all at
the time, as they were wearing a

241
00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:52.279
very long raincoat and because of the
footprints they left in their walk, I

242
00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:55.880
could notice that they were barefoot.
My superior screamed for these women to stop

243
00:20:55.880 --> 00:21:02.640
walking and approach us. We wanted
to know why three women were in the

244
00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:07.319
middle of the night walking barefoot along
that desert road. He was definitely a

245
00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:12.599
suspect. The women did not seem
to be immutable at the call of my

246
00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:18.599
superior and continued to walk. This
made my superior a little angry, so

247
00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:22.680
he insisted a second time, but
back there was no response from the women,

248
00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:30.039
who were beginning to blur with the
darkness of the road. It was

249
00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:34.400
then that my superior began to walk
toward the women, when he entered more

250
00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:38.839
into the darkness and illuminated with the
flashlight, he could not see them anywhere.

251
00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:45.279
It was as if they had just
vanished. We were searching for a

252
00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:51.000
while, but no one could find
them, so finally my superior indicated that

253
00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:56.480
we should continue at that point.
None of us were really scared. We

254
00:21:56.519 --> 00:22:02.480
thought those women might well have scotch. After all, it was a completely

255
00:22:02.519 --> 00:22:07.559
unknown place for us and they knew
that place enough to hide from us.

256
00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:15.400
We' d been driving for about
five minutes when we suddenly stopped at Seco.

257
00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:19.720
I couldn' t see this,
as the car I was in didn

258
00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:23.759
' t go across the street.
The driver of the first car told us

259
00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:29.559
that in front of him there was
a woman in a tunic. He claimed

260
00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:33.839
that everything had happened very quickly,
but that he thought he had hit her,

261
00:22:34.279 --> 00:22:37.920
because he could not slow down in
time he seemed a little nervous about

262
00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:41.920
what had just happened. My superior, along with others of my companions,

263
00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:47.119
went all the way to look for
the injured woman. They didn' t

264
00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:51.799
find anything under the car or around. The driver was questioned a little more

265
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:56.720
and he only repeated the story of
how this woman had materialized. He was

266
00:22:57.480 --> 00:23:03.519
just so upset in front of me
that my superior decided that it would be

267
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:04.839
best if, for the rest of
the way, he didn' t drive.

268
00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:11.440
This second sighting made us a little
nervous. I couldn' t guarantee

269
00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:15.160
that we were afraid, but without
a doubt, the event so close,

270
00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:21.480
along with what we had just witnessed
before, made the whole thing start to

271
00:23:21.559 --> 00:23:26.240
get a little rough. Finally,
we arrived at the designated place, went

272
00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:32.559
down and simply waited. The task
was simple and concrete. Any vehicle we

273
00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:37.480
saw passing through that road, which
wasn' t ours, we' d

274
00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:42.200
have to stop it and do a
complete check- up to make sure it

275
00:23:42.319 --> 00:23:45.599
didn' t bring in merchandise or
anything like that. After a while it

276
00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:52.400
began to become a little boring for
that point we had already forgotten what we

277
00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:55.640
had experienced before we got there.
We had seen nothing but a vehicle during

278
00:23:55.680 --> 00:24:00.440
the three hours we had been in. I assumed it was to be expected,

279
00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:03.599
since the lack of movement in that
place was what made it perfect for

280
00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:10.759
committing crimes. We were attentive to
any car movement we could see when one

281
00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:15.920
of my colleagues mentioned that there were
the women we had seen before. As

282
00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:23.759
he pointed to one side, we
all turned immediately and effectively, these three

283
00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:29.680
women were only a few meters away. They had the hood of their robes

284
00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:33.599
on, so we couldn' t
see their faces, but we were sure

285
00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:40.759
they were seeing us. That was
a bit disconcerting, though he could not

286
00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:45.720
see their faces. If I could
feel that look, it was a rather

287
00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:51.519
disturbing look, as it made you
feel a deep and irrational fear, while

288
00:24:51.599 --> 00:24:56.759
making you feel as if you were
totally vulnerable to anything that could happen.

289
00:24:56.960 --> 00:25:03.400
My superior wanted to keep her composure
and with a firm voice, but it

290
00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:07.839
still sounded a little baffled. He
shouted at women to identify themselves, while

291
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:17.160
threatening to arrest them for interrupting army
activities. Those women didn' t even

292
00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:21.839
seem to pay attention to the words
my superior said. They just stood completely

293
00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:26.279
still and stared at us. My
superior, a little tired of the whole

294
00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:32.279
situation, took his weapon and threatened
the women at the same time as telling

295
00:25:32.279 --> 00:25:37.680
them to kneel down, but they
continued to stand without obeying. It was

296
00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:44.440
when my superior began to approach them
very threateningly. None of us moved from

297
00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:48.759
his place. I guess the others
didn' t do it for exactly what

298
00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:53.319
I felt, and that was such
a horrible feeling that something terribly bad was

299
00:25:53.400 --> 00:25:59.240
going to happen. That feeling was
so strong, at least in me that

300
00:25:59.319 --> 00:26:03.160
I couldn' t even move.
My superior, for his part, was

301
00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:07.640
walking towards the women, but when
he was close enough to see them,

302
00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:12.720
his face dropped his weapon of fear
and began to run towards us. Very

303
00:26:12.799 --> 00:26:18.119
fast. He said a lot of
rudeness while yelling at us that we had

304
00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:22.200
to get in the car at the
time to leave immediately. We all obeyed,

305
00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:27.359
we were on top of the car
and before I could say or think

306
00:26:27.400 --> 00:26:32.400
about everything that had just happened,
we were on the move. I was

307
00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:37.480
in the car where my superior had
come up. Even though he always used

308
00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:41.559
to go in the car across the
street. His eyes looked completely full of

309
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:47.400
terror, it was as if he
had seen the same demon, he could

310
00:26:47.400 --> 00:26:52.400
say nothing. We could just see
him shaking. Finally, we arrived at

311
00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:56.640
a nearby village, on that road. We' d already been through it

312
00:26:56.799 --> 00:27:00.759
as soon as we went, but
we hadn' t stopped. We knew

313
00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:06.000
it was the only place closest in
miles, so we decided to ask for

314
00:27:06.079 --> 00:27:11.039
a doctor, since our superior was
really wrong for that point. He kept

315
00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:15.839
shaking and seemed to have completely lost
his speech. Apparently, there wasn'

316
00:27:15.880 --> 00:27:21.559
t a hospital there, but there
was a healer, who, after seeing

317
00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:25.200
my superior, said he didn'
t think he could spend the night,

318
00:27:25.559 --> 00:27:30.240
as he had been claimed. That
missed us so much. We didn'

319
00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:36.880
t know what he meant by claimed
besides that he didn' t look bad

320
00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:40.359
enough not to be able to spend
the night. He told us that what

321
00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:45.119
we had seen along the way were
witches and that they had claimed his soul.

322
00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:49.960
We all seemed pretty confused. And
the second in command said it was

323
00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:56.400
stupid and he' d call to
take him to a real doctor. While

324
00:27:56.519 --> 00:28:00.720
he was asking for help on the
radio, the healer told the rest that

325
00:28:00.839 --> 00:28:04.119
he could prove what he was saying. He took an egg from a table

326
00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:08.079
and passed it through almost the body
of our superior. After that, he

327
00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:11.759
broke it in a glass of water
and let us see that the whole inside

328
00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:17.960
of the egg was completely black,
which he assured us that his soul was

329
00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:23.079
leaving him. None of us said
anything. He warned us that no one

330
00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:26.720
should go that way, unless he
wanted to end up the same way.

331
00:28:27.799 --> 00:28:33.119
When we said we had orders from
our bosses, he told us that they

332
00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:38.599
surely had no idea what was going
on there. I questioned whether there really

333
00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:44.599
was nothing that could be done,
but this one said that whatever these women

334
00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:48.960
did was magic, very dark and
no one could stop it once it started.

335
00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:55.200
That' s right. In fact, the doctors didn' t get

336
00:28:55.240 --> 00:28:59.720
to that town until it was too
late The day came with the death of

337
00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:04.480
my worst. He was completely pale
with his lips bruised, just like his

338
00:29:04.519 --> 00:29:11.880
veins, which were extremely marked in
his entire body. It was pretty shocking

339
00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:15.920
to see. We counted what had
happened and the issue was concluded that no

340
00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:21.119
one else would go to that place. We don' t know what really

341
00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:26.079
happened that day and we were forbidden
to comment on exactly what had happened,

342
00:29:26.279 --> 00:29:33.839
as in death reports they invented another
reason why it succumbed. As I said

343
00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:37.799
before, I have had other experiences, although this has been the only one

344
00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:41.880
that results in a breakdown. I
have no idea what we saw that day.

345
00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:48.480
It was actually witches or something different, something much darker that killed my

346
00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:55.119
superior. I may never have a
concrete answer, but whatever we saw that

347
00:29:55.279 --> 00:30:10.400
day, I doubt it was human, the tall woman. I always imagined

348
00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:15.880
that I would be the last person
who could experience any paranormal circumstance and my

349
00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:22.359
bad luck. What I experienced haunts
me every day since it happened. I

350
00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:26.880
think I want to tell you this
so I can know if there' s

351
00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:30.480
anyone who can help me get rid
of this, since every day is a

352
00:30:30.480 --> 00:30:33.680
pain. Ever since I was right, I loved everything that had to do

353
00:30:33.720 --> 00:30:38.559
with the soldiers. My father was
one, and my grandfather was one,

354
00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:44.559
too, so it wasn' t
strange that I was barely old enough to

355
00:30:44.559 --> 00:30:48.559
join the army. He was a
good recruit, disciplined, obedient and also

356
00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:55.759
quite talented in the handling of weapons. It seemed like the army was really

357
00:30:55.839 --> 00:30:59.480
the place where it was supposed to
be. It was one of my first

358
00:30:59.480 --> 00:31:03.319
missions. We were behind some criminals, who I don' t think I

359
00:31:03.400 --> 00:31:07.319
can say the word. I'
ll just say they weren' t good

360
00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:12.359
people. There were a couple of
them who managed to mock our safety and

361
00:31:12.359 --> 00:31:18.640
run. So both I and another
of my colleagues decided to go after them.

362
00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:23.960
We followed him to an abandoned mattress
factory. The factory was quite damaged

363
00:31:25.200 --> 00:31:29.240
and it seemed that no one had
been inside it for a long time.

364
00:31:29.920 --> 00:31:33.799
Still, we didn' t stop
for a moment to think that we were

365
00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:40.039
going to find it inside. We
only knew that those people had been admitted

366
00:31:40.160 --> 00:31:42.920
and we had to go for them. So when we got in, we

367
00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:48.240
started looking for the place. It
was full of old mattresses, machinery,

368
00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:52.160
and there was a lot of land. Like rodents. We could quickly find

369
00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:56.680
one and also submit it, but
we knew one more was missing. The

370
00:31:56.720 --> 00:32:01.960
one we had caught completely refused to
tell us anything about his partner' s

371
00:32:01.960 --> 00:32:07.480
whereabouts, so I told my colleague
to stay with him, or he could

372
00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:10.680
come back with the rest to deliver
him, but I wasn' t going

373
00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:15.400
to leave that factory without the other. That said, I started walking.

374
00:32:15.880 --> 00:32:20.279
I' ve been walking for a
long time. Every noise made me alert,

375
00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:23.559
but none of those sounds were from
the man I was looking for.

376
00:32:24.279 --> 00:32:29.599
I was just about to turn around
to get back. When I heard a

377
00:32:29.640 --> 00:32:35.279
particular noise, that of an old
mattress falling when the dust fell that rose

378
00:32:35.559 --> 00:32:42.400
up was amazing. Even for a
moment he clouded my eyesight as I tried

379
00:32:42.480 --> 00:32:45.799
to adjust my eyesight again. Among
all that dust I could hear a laugh.

380
00:32:46.319 --> 00:32:50.599
The dust dissipated and I began to
look for the origin of it.

381
00:32:51.200 --> 00:32:54.319
I knew it was supposed to be
that man and that was when, thanks

382
00:32:54.319 --> 00:32:58.119
to my flashlight, I could see
a shadow at the bottom of the factory.

383
00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:05.559
I immediately ran to that place telling
him I was trapped and things that

384
00:33:05.640 --> 00:33:09.000
are supposed to be said at that
time. I was just about to arrive

385
00:33:09.119 --> 00:33:14.680
when something stopped me dry and that
was the scream of a rat. It

386
00:33:14.759 --> 00:33:17.880
really looked like she was being murdered. It was the first time I heard

387
00:33:17.920 --> 00:33:22.079
an animal scream like that. I
didn' t know what to think.

388
00:33:22.599 --> 00:33:27.759
He was sure that the man was
hiding there and could not imagine what he

389
00:33:27.880 --> 00:33:32.960
was doing to that rodent. I
decided to clear myself of that first impression

390
00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:36.680
and jumped my gun in hand.
But what I saw in front of me.

391
00:33:36.880 --> 00:33:38.759
It wasn' t at all what
I expected. She was a squatting

392
00:33:38.799 --> 00:33:45.319
woman, who had half the rat
in her arms. The first part seemed

393
00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:49.920
to have ingested it, as it
had blood in its mouth and part of

394
00:33:49.960 --> 00:33:53.000
that animal could be seen. When
she found out, the woman looked at

395
00:33:53.079 --> 00:33:58.839
me and her eyes were completely black. He didn' t seem to be

396
00:33:58.920 --> 00:34:00.920
immutable or scared by me. He
stood up and that' s when I

397
00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:06.519
saw how abnormally high he was to
be more than two meters twenty. He

398
00:34:06.559 --> 00:34:09.840
was very thin, had no nose
and wore a dress, which once seemed

399
00:34:09.880 --> 00:34:15.360
white, but now he was very
dirty. He extended one of his hands,

400
00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:22.119
which were instinctively twisted. I fired
twice before I ran away, as

401
00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:28.239
though the bullets seemed to hit her, it didn' t seem to hurt

402
00:34:28.239 --> 00:34:31.119
her at all. When I got
to the exit, I realized my partner

403
00:34:31.199 --> 00:34:36.760
wasn' t there anymore. I
figured I was back with the others,

404
00:34:37.320 --> 00:34:40.000
so I did the same thing.
Despite my expression, which was noticed by

405
00:34:40.039 --> 00:34:45.159
my companions, who asked me what
had happened. I didn' t mean

406
00:34:45.719 --> 00:34:49.880
anything, since even I didn'
t want to believe in what I'

407
00:34:49.880 --> 00:34:54.119
d seen. I simply said that
the man was nowhere and that he had

408
00:34:54.159 --> 00:35:02.719
surely left. No one questioned my
story and we left. I' ve

409
00:35:02.800 --> 00:35:07.480
been dreaming about that woman for several
days. It was pretty amazing the details

410
00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:12.119
I remembered her with. I felt
like I was going crazy, as there

411
00:35:12.239 --> 00:35:15.480
was no night when I didn'
t wake up and I couldn' t

412
00:35:15.559 --> 00:35:20.119
go back to sleep after dreaming about
it again. That began to generate a

413
00:35:20.199 --> 00:35:24.760
great deterioration that my superiors began to
notice, so they gave me some vacation

414
00:35:24.800 --> 00:35:30.559
days and even though I didn'
t want to take them, they didn

415
00:35:30.559 --> 00:35:35.039
' t give me much choice.
The reunion with my family was quite pleasant.

416
00:35:35.599 --> 00:35:39.800
I was very well received and for
a moment I thought maybe I could

417
00:35:39.840 --> 00:35:44.320
get over it with your help.
I didn' t tell them anything about

418
00:35:44.320 --> 00:35:47.320
it either, as the last thing
I wanted was to make things uncomfortable.

419
00:35:47.400 --> 00:35:52.840
Also there on the first night I
thought that everything seemed even more promising,

420
00:35:53.239 --> 00:35:58.920
since I did not dream about the
woman, I woke up quite optimistic and

421
00:35:59.000 --> 00:36:02.079
when my sister proposed to me to
go out of faith and until that night

422
00:36:02.079 --> 00:36:06.840
I just accepted. After all,
I assumed I deserved an escape from everything

423
00:36:06.920 --> 00:36:12.119
related to military life and wanted to
distract my mind from the thoughts about that

424
00:36:12.199 --> 00:36:15.599
woman. I' m not sure
how much I drank that night. It

425
00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:20.559
must have been a lot of my
sister and I came home too late.

426
00:36:20.679 --> 00:36:23.920
That night. She went to her
room and I was about to, but

427
00:36:23.960 --> 00:36:30.480
before that she wanted to go to
the bathroom. When I finished what I

428
00:36:30.599 --> 00:36:34.679
had to do and was about to
go to my room, I could see

429
00:36:35.000 --> 00:36:38.800
a silhouette at the end of the
hall. At the time I didn'

430
00:36:38.800 --> 00:36:43.639
t think of anything, I even
thought it might be my father. That

431
00:36:43.639 --> 00:36:46.719
' s when I turned around and
realized he wasn' t my father,

432
00:36:47.199 --> 00:36:52.679
he was that woman. This one
smiled like she was happy to have found

433
00:36:52.679 --> 00:36:55.480
me. I screamed. I couldn' t do anything else at the time.

434
00:36:57.159 --> 00:37:00.920
My parents got up right away and
went to see what was going on.

435
00:37:00.679 --> 00:37:06.079
But when they arrived, the woman
was no longer anywhere. I didn

436
00:37:06.159 --> 00:37:07.880
' t know what to say about
it. I didn' t want to

437
00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:13.400
be taken for a madman, but
I couldn' t explain why I screamed

438
00:37:13.400 --> 00:37:16.800
that way either. I lied saying
that I thought I saw a thief come

439
00:37:16.880 --> 00:37:21.480
in that convinced my mother a little
bit, but not my father, who

440
00:37:21.519 --> 00:37:25.000
questioned me what was the real reason
I had yelled for, since I didn

441
00:37:25.079 --> 00:37:30.239
' t think a simple thief would
have scared me that way. I told

442
00:37:30.280 --> 00:37:34.719
him I didn' t want to
talk about it, besides that I was

443
00:37:34.840 --> 00:37:38.840
in a pretty bad state because of
alcohol, so he told me that I

444
00:37:38.920 --> 00:37:45.039
could go to sleep as long as
I promised to tell him everything as soon

445
00:37:45.159 --> 00:37:49.679
as I felt better, which I
did as soon as I was better,

446
00:37:49.679 --> 00:37:51.360
and we were both alone. I
told him what I' d seen.

447
00:37:52.000 --> 00:37:57.519
He listened attentively to me, but
his answer was as I expected, that

448
00:37:57.920 --> 00:38:02.320
those things did not exist, that
I had surely seen wrong that time in

449
00:38:04.039 --> 00:38:07.360
the factory and that, because of
my state of drunkenness, I had confused

450
00:38:07.400 --> 00:38:10.880
the darkness of the house with that
woman. I wanted to believe my father,

451
00:38:12.559 --> 00:38:16.519
but I had been thinking so much
about how I could have confused anything

452
00:38:16.519 --> 00:38:21.840
at the factory, and nothing I
could think of made me believe that what

453
00:38:21.840 --> 00:38:27.599
I had seen that day had not
been real. So I just decided to

454
00:38:27.639 --> 00:38:31.239
agree with my father and not mention
it again from that day there was no

455
00:38:31.320 --> 00:38:36.360
place I couldn' t see her. I was stalking in the corners of

456
00:38:36.400 --> 00:38:40.119
my room or at the end of
the halls sometimes I could see it in

457
00:38:40.119 --> 00:38:45.239
the mirrors. I seemed to enjoy
my fear. It was almost as if

458
00:38:45.320 --> 00:38:50.880
I was getting married and I enjoyed
it more when their prey was completely full

459
00:38:50.880 --> 00:38:54.320
of dread. The worst part was
one day I tried to deal with it.

460
00:38:54.880 --> 00:38:59.320
I was getting my stuff ready to
go back to the academy. When

461
00:38:59.400 --> 00:39:04.960
I could hear talk for that point, I had noticed that I had a

462
00:39:04.960 --> 00:39:08.440
rather specific sound. It was like
a lament, but at the same time

463
00:39:08.599 --> 00:39:14.079
it sounded like a little laugh.
The temperature was dropping a little, too,

464
00:39:14.599 --> 00:39:19.519
so I knew it was her.
I was fed up and decided to

465
00:39:19.519 --> 00:39:23.280
go face it. I wanted to
yell at her, curse her anything to

466
00:39:23.599 --> 00:39:27.960
vent, but what happened didn'
t expect it. I had her in

467
00:39:28.039 --> 00:39:31.480
front of me. She like always
ran away I yelled at her a little

468
00:39:31.599 --> 00:39:36.239
and for the first time she stopped
smiling. He gave my face a claw.

469
00:39:36.719 --> 00:39:39.840
It was painful and made me scream. My parents ran for my help,

470
00:39:40.119 --> 00:39:45.079
but when they arrived again, the
woman was no longer there. There

471
00:39:45.639 --> 00:39:50.239
I had my face hurt and I
was immediately taken to the doctor. There

472
00:39:50.320 --> 00:39:53.679
wasn' t much they could do. The doctors claimed that it seemed as

473
00:39:53.760 --> 00:40:00.119
if he had been for several days
without any medical attention, as those wounds

474
00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:05.440
were in a fairly advanced state of
infection. They managed to save a little,

475
00:40:05.639 --> 00:40:09.239
but in general my face almost shattered. I haven' t faced her

476
00:40:09.239 --> 00:40:15.320
since, but I still see her
She still seems to love it when I

477
00:40:15.320 --> 00:40:17.840
look in the mirror. I hope
I can get rid of her someday,

478
00:40:19.480 --> 00:40:22.679
but the longer the years go by, I think that' s not a

479
00:40:22.679 --> 00:40:37.119
possibility. He saved my name.
It is genaro and I come to tell

480
00:40:37.239 --> 00:40:42.519
a story that I have always wanted
to spread among people. I' ve

481
00:40:42.639 --> 00:40:47.440
heard things like nahuales or sorcerers have
a very bad reputation. The stories they

482
00:40:47.519 --> 00:40:52.800
tell about these people are usually not
good and, to tell the truth,

483
00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:58.159
I do not blame them at all, as I am convinced that, indeed,

484
00:40:58.400 --> 00:41:00.559
some of these people should use that, this kind of magic for evil.

485
00:41:01.239 --> 00:41:07.159
There are people who have used these
things to do good works and to

486
00:41:07.360 --> 00:41:10.599
show this story. I joined the
army at the age of 18. I

487
00:41:10.639 --> 00:41:15.199
was very anxious to get out of
the house. This was not a very

488
00:41:15.320 --> 00:41:17.960
healthy environment, although it was not
the worst either. My father had a

489
00:41:19.079 --> 00:41:22.800
pizzeria while he was doing pretty well, he used to spend most of the

490
00:41:22.880 --> 00:41:30.679
profits on liquor. That triggered that
even if we had a fairly successful business

491
00:41:30.719 --> 00:41:36.440
in which we were all forced to
work day and night, we had to

492
00:41:36.440 --> 00:41:39.440
live very precariously. For these and
other reasons, I was barely of age.

493
00:41:40.199 --> 00:41:46.119
I enlisted in the army and left. The first few months were pretty

494
00:41:46.599 --> 00:41:52.480
normal and kind of boring. I
imagined that world something different, but it

495
00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:57.639
was much better than being in my
house, even with the mistreatments of the

496
00:41:57.880 --> 00:42:02.039
superiors and the long hours of exercise
we had to do. Even punishments were

497
00:42:02.079 --> 00:42:07.079
much more bearable than having to endure
my father' s missions, to which

498
00:42:07.159 --> 00:42:14.920
I was assigned were never dangerous or
very exciting. They consisted mostly of some

499
00:42:14.960 --> 00:42:21.559
routine checkups and that sort of thing. There was one occasion when I really

500
00:42:21.679 --> 00:42:27.719
wish I had stayed with those missions
forever. That day began like any other.

501
00:42:28.400 --> 00:42:31.239
They sent us to a road where
it was assumed that they had seen

502
00:42:31.239 --> 00:42:36.840
several suspicious vans. We were in
the middle of a checkup. When we

503
00:42:36.880 --> 00:42:42.119
were boarded by three black vans at
gunpoint, they didn' t get me

504
00:42:42.159 --> 00:42:46.119
and my partners in one of the
cars and start. We were taken to

505
00:42:46.199 --> 00:42:52.000
a place that I couldn' t
identify, since all the time we had

506
00:42:52.079 --> 00:42:59.960
our eyes blindfolded, so we couldn' t know where we were going They

507
00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:05.079
finally got us out of the tiny
calms and locked us in a cellar,

508
00:43:05.480 --> 00:43:09.480
which had a very strong smell of
piss and didn' t have any kind

509
00:43:09.559 --> 00:43:13.280
of window or anything that let the
light pass. We were locked up in

510
00:43:13.480 --> 00:43:16.400
this place for three days without anyone
even speaking the word to us. They

511
00:43:16.440 --> 00:43:22.000
threw trays at us with dog food, which was wet and tasted very unpleasant.

512
00:43:22.599 --> 00:43:27.079
But when you spend more than two
days without eating and you know that

513
00:43:27.119 --> 00:43:30.719
most likely won' t change,
then you have no choice but to eat.

514
00:43:32.960 --> 00:43:37.440
We talked a lot about each other. We wondered every day what they

515
00:43:37.559 --> 00:43:42.880
wanted or what plans they had with
us, as they didn' t seem

516
00:43:42.960 --> 00:43:46.079
to have a plan. The only
thing for sure for everyone would be that

517
00:43:46.079 --> 00:43:51.039
we would never see sunlight again.
I never thought of it more for my

518
00:43:51.119 --> 00:43:55.440
little sister, whom I had promised
to return for her. I could barely

519
00:43:55.559 --> 00:44:02.159
establish myself well I thought that she
would believe that if I just abandoned her

520
00:44:02.239 --> 00:44:07.760
and that hurt me a lot more
than being kidnapped in that place. I

521
00:44:07.800 --> 00:44:13.440
' m not sure how many days
passed, since that cellar had no windows

522
00:44:13.559 --> 00:44:16.880
or anything like that. We had
no idea when it was day or night,

523
00:44:17.239 --> 00:44:22.559
so we didn' t know exactly
how long we had been there.

524
00:44:22.360 --> 00:44:27.079
The point is that one good day, the door opened and one of the

525
00:44:27.119 --> 00:44:30.840
men who left the tray with that
horrible food back, questioned whether any of

526
00:44:30.960 --> 00:44:37.239
us knew how to cook that question
puzzled us a little. We didn'

527
00:44:37.320 --> 00:44:42.920
t know why this person would be
interested in something like the one we knew

528
00:44:42.920 --> 00:44:46.760
how to cook. I thought that
might be a good opportunity to even see

529
00:44:46.800 --> 00:44:52.599
sunlight, even if it was one
last time. So I raised my hand

530
00:44:52.679 --> 00:44:55.239
and made sure I knew how to
make pizza. The man picked me up

531
00:44:55.320 --> 00:45:00.639
very violently and took me out of
the cellar. I was filled with insults,

532
00:45:00.880 --> 00:45:06.199
although I felt it was not necessary, as I was cooperating. He

533
00:45:06.280 --> 00:45:10.079
took me to a kitchen, where
he questioned me what I needed and when

534
00:45:10.199 --> 00:45:15.239
I told him all the ingredients I
had them in that place, in less

535
00:45:15.320 --> 00:45:19.480
than an hour, I made the
pizza pretty fast. The whole time I

536
00:45:19.519 --> 00:45:23.559
was there, I was being threatened
by armed men and as soon as I

537
00:45:23.639 --> 00:45:29.159
put it on the table, I
was returned to the hold. That would

538
00:45:29.239 --> 00:45:32.920
be the beginning of what would soon
become a routine. Almost every day they

539
00:45:34.039 --> 00:45:38.639
were going to get me to go
make pizza. I soon learned that we

540
00:45:38.920 --> 00:45:44.239
were in such a remote place that
it was not very feasible to go out

541
00:45:44.239 --> 00:45:47.320
and buy food. So the fact
that I did that was almost like a

542
00:45:47.400 --> 00:45:52.320
blessing to them. It came to
the point where he was no longer so

543
00:45:52.320 --> 00:45:57.159
guarded. In fact, I was
allowed out of the kitchen a little so

544
00:45:57.159 --> 00:46:01.039
I could breathe fresh air, although
whenever I went out I was being watched.

545
00:46:02.519 --> 00:46:07.199
That day I was outside. I
was so grateful to be able to

546
00:46:07.280 --> 00:46:12.239
feel a little breeze on my face. I didn' t know how long

547
00:46:12.239 --> 00:46:15.679
I' d been in captivity.
You completely lose your sense of time in

548
00:46:15.719 --> 00:46:22.039
situations like that, but because of
the weather I knew that some seasons should

549
00:46:22.039 --> 00:46:25.760
have passed. One of my captors
had a phone call, so he left

550
00:46:25.840 --> 00:46:34.360
me a moment completely unsupervised. I
knew it was completely useless to try to

551
00:46:34.440 --> 00:46:39.559
escape, as they would surely find
me easily, plus I wouldn' t

552
00:46:40.519 --> 00:46:45.719
know where to go, so I
just stood there enjoying my outdoor moment.

553
00:46:45.320 --> 00:46:50.840
That' s when I first saw
him from some rubble came a wolf.

554
00:46:51.440 --> 00:46:54.159
I know he was a wolf because
he was too big to be a dog.

555
00:46:54.920 --> 00:47:01.400
He stared at me and his eyes
were almost human. It was huge

556
00:47:01.440 --> 00:47:06.800
even to be a wolf. He
had a greyish coat with a little black.

557
00:47:07.360 --> 00:47:09.440
While he was looking at me.
It seemed like I could see through

558
00:47:09.480 --> 00:47:14.119
my soul. I didn' t
know why I did it? I just

559
00:47:14.199 --> 00:47:20.719
think it' s something you do
out of despair or it' s just

560
00:47:20.840 --> 00:47:23.480
resignation, as I didn' t
expect any response from him. I told

561
00:47:23.519 --> 00:47:29.239
him in a somewhat sarcastic tone,
if he had come to help me get

562
00:47:29.280 --> 00:47:32.480
out of there. This one didn' t say anything as expected. He

563
00:47:32.559 --> 00:47:37.519
just looked at me and as soon
as he heard that my caregiver was coming

564
00:47:37.800 --> 00:47:42.679
back, he ran again and I
lost sight of him. Soon I was

565
00:47:42.800 --> 00:47:47.559
locked up again and with the passing
of days I forgot that incident. It

566
00:47:47.639 --> 00:47:52.400
' s been two days, or
so I think, since I was in

567
00:47:52.679 --> 00:47:55.280
the cellar too long before I was
taken out again to make another pizza.

568
00:47:55.960 --> 00:47:59.960
I asked, please, to come
out again to feel the wind in my

569
00:47:59.960 --> 00:48:06.159
house, which they accepted. I
was just walking. When I saw a

570
00:48:06.239 --> 00:48:09.320
man who looked at me and when
I saw his eyes, I felt that

571
00:48:09.400 --> 00:48:15.440
I had seen them before, I
just couldn' t remember where. That

572
00:48:15.519 --> 00:48:19.880
man had never seen him before,
so he knew he was not part of

573
00:48:19.920 --> 00:48:22.599
the people who held us captive.
I didn' t know what to say.

574
00:48:23.159 --> 00:48:28.440
I immediately looked at my caregiver,
who was absorbed in his phone,

575
00:48:29.079 --> 00:48:35.119
so he hadn' t noticed anything. I went a little closer to where

576
00:48:35.199 --> 00:48:39.000
the man was and asked for help, to which he replied that he was

577
00:48:39.119 --> 00:48:44.320
calm, that he had listened to
me the first time. I didn'

578
00:48:44.360 --> 00:48:47.880
t know what he meant by it, but the man didn' t let

579
00:48:47.880 --> 00:48:52.760
me question him at all. He
told me to be prepared, since that

580
00:48:52.840 --> 00:48:58.440
night I would be free. I
didn' t know what to say when

581
00:48:58.559 --> 00:49:00.719
I heard my kidnapper yell at me
and claim he was doing so far away.

582
00:49:01.159 --> 00:49:05.599
When I wanted to turn back,
I no longer saw the man,

583
00:49:06.119 --> 00:49:10.280
he came back inside again and while
I was sitting back in that dark cellar,

584
00:49:12.000 --> 00:49:15.079
I couldn' t stop thinking about
that man' s words and the

585
00:49:15.159 --> 00:49:20.400
longer I thought about those eyes the
more it came to my mind. That

586
00:49:20.440 --> 00:49:24.840
time I saw that huge wolf,
at that moment I couldn' t put

587
00:49:24.840 --> 00:49:28.920
the two together, as I couldn' t even conceive of it. Moreover,

588
00:49:29.199 --> 00:49:34.280
my pessimism told me that it would
be better to forget all that was

589
00:49:34.639 --> 00:49:37.960
lived, since perhaps both man and
that wolf did not exist and were only

590
00:49:38.000 --> 00:49:45.519
the fruit of my imagination, which
was desperate to have a little hope with

591
00:49:45.599 --> 00:49:50.280
that. Still spinning inside my head. I wasn' t falling asleep at

592
00:49:50.280 --> 00:49:53.519
all. When I heard screams and
gunshots. That alerted both my colleagues and

593
00:49:53.599 --> 00:50:00.960
me, who had no idea what
was going on outside. The shots and

594
00:50:00.039 --> 00:50:06.320
screams ended after a few minutes,
from moment to moment. Everything was in

595
00:50:06.360 --> 00:50:12.199
total silence. We looked at each
other confused, without being able to do

596
00:50:12.199 --> 00:50:15.039
anything at all. We weren'
t even able to talk to each other,

597
00:50:16.119 --> 00:50:20.519
as we believed that if we were
heard something bad could happen to us.

598
00:50:21.920 --> 00:50:25.719
Suddenly we could hear three knocks on
the cellar door. None of us

599
00:50:25.800 --> 00:50:31.519
dared to say a word. And
that' s when the lock started moving

600
00:50:31.639 --> 00:50:36.960
like it was trying to be forced
and suddenly, the door opened completely.

601
00:50:37.719 --> 00:50:43.519
Behind her I could see that man
who, when he saw me, smiled

602
00:50:43.559 --> 00:50:47.039
and said that he was now safe. Both my colleagues and I couldn'

603
00:50:47.119 --> 00:50:52.960
t understand what was going on.
We stayed still on the ground and he

604
00:50:52.079 --> 00:50:58.760
said we were free before we turned
around and left there. None of us

605
00:50:58.800 --> 00:51:01.719
got up to the wave. After
almost half an hour, the door was

606
00:51:01.760 --> 00:51:08.480
open and we knew it was too
good. To be true. The first

607
00:51:08.519 --> 00:51:14.199
one to rise was another of my
companions, who looked up and when he

608
00:51:14.199 --> 00:51:19.079
returned to us he said that they
were all dead. We got up and

609
00:51:19.159 --> 00:51:23.840
went out all together, just to
find that, in fact, all those

610
00:51:23.880 --> 00:51:30.199
people who had kept us kidnapped were
without life. The strangest thing of all

611
00:51:30.480 --> 00:51:34.480
is that they seemed to have been
attacked by an animal of sharp tusks.

612
00:51:35.119 --> 00:51:38.639
They all had similar injuries and it
was quite obvious how they had died.

613
00:51:39.079 --> 00:51:45.559
There weren' t as many people, but they were still enough not to

614
00:51:45.679 --> 00:51:50.599
have been able to with one man. We had no idea it had happened,

615
00:51:51.280 --> 00:51:55.559
but we were quite grateful to be
free. We walked almost all night

616
00:51:55.800 --> 00:52:02.400
to a village where we were provided
with a telephone and were able to communicate

617
00:52:02.400 --> 00:52:08.320
with the relevant authorities. I left
the army almost immediately. I got a

618
00:52:08.480 --> 00:52:13.159
job, and once I was settled, I came back for my younger sister.

619
00:52:13.360 --> 00:52:15.280
I still don' t know what
happened that day. I don'

620
00:52:15.320 --> 00:52:20.119
t know if that big wolf was
that man. Or if everything has a

621
00:52:20.159 --> 00:52:34.079
more logical explanation than I believe goblins, there are times when reality overcomes fiction.

622
00:52:36.320 --> 00:52:40.199
During my military service I learned that
the less logical you try to find

623
00:52:40.239 --> 00:52:45.599
certain situations, the better I could
understand them. One of the most shocking

624
00:52:45.679 --> 00:52:51.119
stories I have experienced personally happened to
me when I was twenty years old.

625
00:52:51.760 --> 00:52:55.440
It was one of my first missions
as a soldier and I was a little

626
00:52:55.960 --> 00:53:00.840
excited, as it would be the
first that would have a little more importance

627
00:53:00.840 --> 00:53:04.679
than the previous missions that had assigned
me. It was about finding an organized

628
00:53:04.760 --> 00:53:09.920
crime gang in a remote town in
Mexico. That town was very far away.

629
00:53:10.039 --> 00:53:15.400
Everything. I' d be surprised
if someone here could meet him.

630
00:53:15.000 --> 00:53:20.000
Still, I won' t say
his name to protect the integrity of its

631
00:53:20.000 --> 00:53:22.559
inhabitants. If I' m completely
frank, I was a little nervous.

632
00:53:23.079 --> 00:53:29.800
Some of my colleagues had given some
comments that these people were very violent and

633
00:53:30.360 --> 00:53:35.119
that if we made a single mistake, then most likely we would not come

634
00:53:35.239 --> 00:53:39.119
back. I knew that risk,
so, trying to be as brave as

635
00:53:39.239 --> 00:53:45.320
possible, we set out for that
town. I will say that the operation

636
00:53:45.360 --> 00:53:50.639
was not as I had expected at
all, because when we arrived at the

637
00:53:50.960 --> 00:53:53.679
place where these people were supposedly located, we ran into that they were no

638
00:53:53.679 --> 00:53:59.679
longer there. Someone must have warned
them, as it was apparent that they

639
00:53:59.760 --> 00:54:04.480
had come out of there rather hastily. There were some things still on site

640
00:54:04.679 --> 00:54:08.280
that gave us indications of it.
While we were still in that place,

641
00:54:08.760 --> 00:54:14.000
we were told that this had moved
to one of the hills of that town.

642
00:54:15.360 --> 00:54:20.000
I thought that made a lot of
sense, because if I wanted to

643
00:54:20.000 --> 00:54:23.719
hide somewhere the hill would be a
very good option. One of my superiors

644
00:54:23.960 --> 00:54:29.079
said that wouldn' t be a
very good idea. He did not give

645
00:54:29.079 --> 00:54:32.159
much details, but it was noted
that he did not want to go there.

646
00:54:34.800 --> 00:54:37.719
Another of the superiors who accompanied us, who seemed to have something more

647
00:54:37.760 --> 00:54:43.760
personal for those bands left us no
choice. He told this person that he

648
00:54:43.840 --> 00:54:49.199
could stay if he wanted to,
but the others had to go. When

649
00:54:49.239 --> 00:54:52.760
we went into that hill, I
could see that the air felt a little

650
00:54:52.840 --> 00:54:59.400
dense was something heavy and there was
a smell that was not unpleasant. Rather

651
00:54:59.480 --> 00:55:05.199
it was sweet and persistent, like
a kind of incense. This one persisted

652
00:55:05.320 --> 00:55:08.840
everywhere. Like I said before,
it was constant. There was no place

653
00:55:08.880 --> 00:55:14.760
on that hill that didn' t
have that peculiar smell. One of my

654
00:55:14.800 --> 00:55:21.039
companions, who always thought he was
very intellectual, wanted to explain that smell

655
00:55:21.079 --> 00:55:23.880
by saying that it was a fragrance
of some flowers that only grew on that

656
00:55:23.880 --> 00:55:28.480
hill. I knew a little bit
about it. I knew it couldn'

657
00:55:28.599 --> 00:55:31.719
t be. We' ve been
walking and searching for a long time.

658
00:55:32.119 --> 00:55:37.199
He even gave us the night in
that place. My superior didn' t

659
00:55:37.199 --> 00:55:42.920
want to give up. He was
completely determined to catch those people, although

660
00:55:43.000 --> 00:55:49.599
most of us were quite convinced that
they were no longer there As a last

661
00:55:49.719 --> 00:55:53.559
task, he told us that we
had to divide into groups of three and

662
00:55:53.599 --> 00:55:58.320
separate to cover more ground. In
case anyone saw anything suspicious, then you

663
00:55:58.320 --> 00:56:05.199
had to warn the rest. It
seemed quite simple in the first instance and

664
00:56:05.199 --> 00:56:09.280
we thought it would be best,
as we would finish covering all the ground.

665
00:56:09.519 --> 00:56:14.800
And soon we' d be done. Going I teamed up with a

666
00:56:14.880 --> 00:56:20.760
young soldier named Pedro and my friend
Gerardo we walked a good stretch without seeing

667
00:56:20.880 --> 00:56:25.320
anything interesting more than what we had
seen before. Only grass all kinds of

668
00:56:25.360 --> 00:56:30.320
animals and insects. I was talking
to my friend when I suddenly came to

669
00:56:30.360 --> 00:56:35.840
see with the corner of my eye, something at first I couldn' t

670
00:56:36.320 --> 00:56:39.039
quite distinguish what it was and I
thought it was, in fact, an

671
00:56:39.119 --> 00:56:44.760
animal, but when I turned my
eyes completely to see what was best was

672
00:56:44.800 --> 00:56:47.840
a small creature, maybe too much
seemed to be naked. I walked in

673
00:56:47.960 --> 00:56:52.880
a bipedal way and thanks to the
light of the moon that illuminated it directly,

674
00:56:53.119 --> 00:56:58.480
I could see that its skin was
of a metallic greyish color, as

675
00:56:58.519 --> 00:57:02.360
it shone even a little bit was
extremely thin. His arms and legs looked

676
00:57:02.400 --> 00:57:07.119
like a couple of branches that could
break with any bad movement. His legs

677
00:57:07.239 --> 00:57:12.840
ended in a similar way to those
of a duck, which ended in sharp

678
00:57:12.840 --> 00:57:17.480
and small claws. Nothing I just
described is as impressive as his head was,

679
00:57:17.760 --> 00:57:23.039
as it was like triangular. I
was very impressed to see you.

680
00:57:23.679 --> 00:57:28.760
I was looking directly at Peter,
who was a little ahead of us.

681
00:57:29.840 --> 00:57:35.199
Both my friend Gerardo and I were
in total silence and we didn' t

682
00:57:35.239 --> 00:57:39.400
know how to act. If we
told our companion, he would surely be

683
00:57:39.880 --> 00:57:45.960
frightened and we would not know how
that strange creature could react. My friend

684
00:57:45.039 --> 00:57:51.199
tried to get our partner' s
attention a little, but he was doing

685
00:57:51.480 --> 00:57:55.440
it so subtly that he didn'
t listen. Finally, he turned to

686
00:57:55.480 --> 00:58:00.719
us with a smile on his face. I think he was about to tell

687
00:58:00.760 --> 00:58:07.840
us something funny. When his smile
faded from moment to moment. We thought

688
00:58:07.960 --> 00:58:13.400
you might well have noticed the anguish
on our faces, but very soon we

689
00:58:13.440 --> 00:58:16.760
would realize it wasn' t.
That' s why he raised one of

690
00:58:17.000 --> 00:58:22.440
his hands and with the index finger
he pointed behind us. We turned immediately

691
00:58:22.480 --> 00:58:29.159
just to realize that behind us there
were at least ten creatures exactly the same

692
00:58:29.280 --> 00:58:34.199
as the one we were seeing.
They had us surrounded. Gerardo pulled out

693
00:58:34.320 --> 00:58:38.239
his gun and fired twice. That
caused the creatures behind us to disperse.

694
00:58:39.960 --> 00:58:45.599
We had completely forgotten the first of
the creatures we had seen, which,

695
00:58:45.960 --> 00:58:51.440
when threatened, threw itself at our
companion emitting a squeal very similar to that

696
00:58:51.480 --> 00:58:57.599
of cats. My companion screamed and
tried to remove that creature, which scratched

697
00:58:57.679 --> 00:59:01.440
it and seemed to bury it multiple
times. One of his claws, which

698
00:59:01.559 --> 00:59:06.800
had almost at the end of his
left leg, which was very similar to

699
00:59:06.840 --> 00:59:10.119
a sting. We tried to help
him, but we didn' t know

700
00:59:10.119 --> 00:59:15.840
how. We certainly couldn' t
shoot and it was so fast that we

701
00:59:15.000 --> 00:59:17.719
couldn' t hold it to get
it off him. At one point,

702
00:59:19.079 --> 00:59:24.320
he managed to hold it and then
threw it far away. The creatures continued

703
00:59:24.320 --> 00:59:30.840
there from a distance, grunting and
looking at us quite defiantly. My partner

704
00:59:30.880 --> 00:59:36.639
mentioned that there were many more than
we had seen before and that more and

705
00:59:36.800 --> 00:59:40.440
more seemed to come. We did
not know what to do, but fortunately,

706
00:59:40.880 --> 00:59:46.000
the shots fired by Gerardo a few
moments earlier had warned the rest of

707
00:59:46.000 --> 00:59:52.519
our comrades. These, believing that
we had found the band we were looking

708
00:59:52.519 --> 00:59:58.239
for, ran quickly to our location. Only a couple of them were able

709
00:59:58.239 --> 01:00:02.360
to see the creatures, as seeing
more of them arrive like us, they

710
01:00:02.400 --> 01:00:07.920
decided to start running and soon all
got lost in the nature of the hill.

711
01:00:07.519 --> 01:00:13.960
Some had only seen the herbs move, but one had managed to see

712
01:00:13.960 --> 01:00:16.760
them. And that was enough so
that, when we told our version of

713
01:00:16.760 --> 01:00:22.039
the story, they didn' t
take us as crazy as everyone came to

714
01:00:22.079 --> 01:00:28.960
us, we wanted to tell what
happened, but our partner Peter began coughing

715
01:00:29.239 --> 01:00:32.199
blood and later became very pale.
Before any of us knew what to do,

716
01:00:34.039 --> 01:00:38.559
it collapsed on the ground. We
barely managed to hold him long enough

717
01:00:38.599 --> 01:00:44.559
to keep him from whipping. That
immediately cut the search and went directly to

718
01:00:44.639 --> 01:00:49.559
the village where he was immediately taken
care of. It didn' t last

719
01:00:49.559 --> 01:00:53.039
long before I lost the battle.
We were pretty surprised how fast he died,

720
01:00:53.480 --> 01:00:59.000
as just a few moments seemed to
be fine, maybe just hurt,

721
01:00:59.320 --> 01:01:04.599
but nothing to die for. The
inhabitants of that town did not seem very

722
01:01:04.639 --> 01:01:07.119
surprised by the wounds and the state
in which my companion arrived with them.

723
01:01:07.639 --> 01:01:14.599
Rather they seemed almost accustomed to seeing
that I could not resist questioning them about

724
01:01:14.679 --> 01:01:17.880
what those things were, to which
they, without hesitation for a second,

725
01:01:19.360 --> 01:01:25.559
replied that they were goblins. He
had heard countless accounts of leprechauns and was

726
01:01:25.639 --> 01:01:31.519
quite certain that none of them had
such a strange appearance. I could never

727
01:01:31.559 --> 01:01:37.360
convince the villagers that they could not
be goblins, as they were sure they

728
01:01:37.559 --> 01:01:45.440
were. They said that they usually
stayed there and as long as you did

729
01:01:45.440 --> 01:01:50.599
not enter their territory, they very
rarely ended up in the village, but

730
01:01:50.639 --> 01:01:54.159
that they had already attacked people a
couple of times and had even taken some

731
01:01:54.159 --> 01:02:00.039
children. We left that town almost
immediately. After that they said the reality

732
01:02:00.320 --> 01:02:05.760
in Peter' s death act.
This was processed like the picket of a

733
01:02:05.840 --> 01:02:09.559
poisonous snake or something. I don' t know the details. There have

734
01:02:09.639 --> 01:02:14.599
been times when I think a lot
about what I saw that day. I

735
01:02:14.679 --> 01:02:20.320
have no idea why the villagers said
those were goblins. Maybe everything we think

736
01:02:20.360 --> 01:02:25.440
we know about different creatures is completely
wrong, or maybe that' s something

737
01:02:25.480 --> 01:02:31.840
else, something we completely don'
t know and we' re not even

738
01:02:39.360 --> 01:02:45.599
able to imagine exorcism. My name
is Axel and the story I have today

739
01:02:45.679 --> 01:02:51.000
to tell is the clearest example of
how the world can be full of evil

740
01:02:51.039 --> 01:02:57.239
and beings, which many times we
could not even imagine. And I think

741
01:02:57.320 --> 01:03:01.119
it' s for the best,
since if we all live, we'

742
01:03:01.119 --> 01:03:07.360
d be completely terrified. I think
many times our vocations always end up finding

743
01:03:07.360 --> 01:03:12.639
us before deciding to be military.
I was at the priests' school for

744
01:03:12.639 --> 01:03:15.119
a while. That dream belonged to
my mother, who was a great devotee

745
01:03:15.159 --> 01:03:20.440
and instilled that in me from a
very young age do not misunderstand me.

746
01:03:20.679 --> 01:03:24.639
I am a faithful believer and I
really felt that I was on the right

747
01:03:24.719 --> 01:03:29.679
path to being a priest. There
were some circumstances, which I will not

748
01:03:29.719 --> 01:03:32.760
mention here, as they are a
little private and are not relevant to this

749
01:03:32.840 --> 01:03:38.960
story. These circumstances caused him to
set aside the way of the priesthood to

750
01:03:39.000 --> 01:03:45.880
test the army in him was known
as the priest, as he used to

751
01:03:45.960 --> 01:03:51.639
recite many Bible passages and give some
sermons. I didn' t mind those

752
01:03:52.039 --> 01:03:55.679
nicknames, not just because they didn' t seem to be really offensive or

753
01:03:55.679 --> 01:03:59.079
with the intention of bothering me.
On the contrary, I felt that it

754
01:03:59.199 --> 01:04:02.480
gave me some fame. Within the
academy, some people would come to me

755
01:04:02.559 --> 01:04:09.119
to tell me their problems or simply
when they wanted someone to listen to them

756
01:04:09.199 --> 01:04:14.480
without being judged. Many said he
was transmitting a little peace and helping them.

757
01:04:14.679 --> 01:04:19.800
It really made me happy The time
went by and I really felt like

758
01:04:19.920 --> 01:04:25.440
I had found my place. I
was a fairly disciplined person and the army

759
01:04:25.760 --> 01:04:30.760
fitted very well with this personality that
characterized me one good day. They sent

760
01:04:30.800 --> 01:04:34.639
us on a mission. It wasn' t a very dangerous mission, or

761
01:04:34.960 --> 01:04:40.480
at least that' s what we
thought, as we were actually just going

762
01:04:40.559 --> 01:04:45.400
to run a search at a suspected
place that was a factory of illicit substances.

763
01:04:45.079 --> 01:04:49.000
The place, indeed, was a
factory of this. We did what

764
01:04:49.119 --> 01:04:55.320
we had to do and we were
already back when we were ambushed. That

765
01:04:55.360 --> 01:04:59.360
was the first time I met in
the middle of a shooting. The fear

766
01:04:59.400 --> 01:05:02.760
I felt in him at that time
was more total. If you' re

767
01:05:02.760 --> 01:05:09.280
not used to it, I shot
a few times, but most of the

768
01:05:09.360 --> 01:05:15.239
time I was completely frozen and hidden
behind one of the cars, where several

769
01:05:15.239 --> 01:05:19.679
of us were entrenched. We finally
managed to win for those who were still

770
01:05:19.800 --> 01:05:26.360
alive. They were handcuffed and put
in the cars to hand them over to

771
01:05:26.360 --> 01:05:30.880
the relevant authorities. While we were
checking the vehicles, we found many weapons

772
01:05:31.039 --> 01:05:36.559
and more illicit substances. While I
was checking one of them, I heard

773
01:05:36.639 --> 01:05:42.159
the cry of one of my companions, his name was Juan. He reported

774
01:05:42.239 --> 01:05:46.639
that there was someone inside a vehicle, who did not look well I decided

775
01:05:46.679 --> 01:05:50.239
to stop doing what I was doing
to see what he meant, as no

776
01:05:50.800 --> 01:05:57.000
one seemed to have paid attention to
what he had said. As I walked

777
01:05:57.199 --> 01:06:00.880
toward him, I could see how
John began to struggle with the door to

778
01:06:00.880 --> 01:06:03.639
try to open it. I was
almost nowhere near getting there with him.

779
01:06:04.400 --> 01:06:10.440
When the door of that vehicle finally
opened. John said something to the man

780
01:06:10.840 --> 01:06:15.480
inside, but I could not understand
what he said because of the distance he

781
01:06:15.519 --> 01:06:18.760
still did not separate from one moment
to another. The man inside the car

782
01:06:18.840 --> 01:06:25.599
came out abruptly, holding him from
his shirt and shaking him violently, screaming

783
01:06:25.599 --> 01:06:30.760
in a hideous way that seemed to
be hurting his throat. This act was

784
01:06:30.800 --> 01:06:36.639
enough for more than one of our
companions to run to help John. As

785
01:06:36.760 --> 01:06:42.559
I got closer, I could see
how this person looked directly into John'

786
01:06:42.639 --> 01:06:47.199
s eyes. His eyes were red, almost injected into blood, and as

787
01:06:47.320 --> 01:06:53.440
he shook and shouted, the sounds
seemed to follow a sequence. It was

788
01:06:53.519 --> 01:06:58.679
like a language I couldn' t
understand. Before my companions managed to reach

789
01:06:58.760 --> 01:07:03.800
John, they both collapsed on the
ground. I looked at Juan a little

790
01:07:03.800 --> 01:07:09.039
worried. I couldn' t understand
why he had passed out. He used

791
01:07:09.079 --> 01:07:13.880
to be a very brave and unimpressable
person, so the fact that he passed

792
01:07:13.960 --> 01:07:19.159
out because of the impact of that
situation seemed ridiculous to me. On the

793
01:07:19.239 --> 01:07:25.000
other hand, the man who had
also fallen was laughing weakly only a couple

794
01:07:25.039 --> 01:07:31.599
of minutes before all his vital signs
stopped altogether. We immediately took Juan to

795
01:07:31.679 --> 01:07:38.159
the doctor. It took a little
while, but before midnight he managed to

796
01:07:38.159 --> 01:07:42.960
regain consciousness. He seemed to remember
absolutely nothing. After I had opened the

797
01:07:43.039 --> 01:07:45.920
car door, I told him a
little bit about what I had seen before

798
01:07:46.000 --> 01:07:51.239
arriving with him and despite everything previously
experienced, Juan seemed to be quite well

799
01:07:51.280 --> 01:07:56.679
and without any side effects of what
he had experienced, or at least we

800
01:07:56.719 --> 01:08:02.360
thought so. When we did a
little more research, we realized that the

801
01:08:02.360 --> 01:08:08.119
people who attacked us worshiped certain figures
that had nothing to do with God.

802
01:08:08.880 --> 01:08:14.239
Nor were they things like the Holy
Death or the Devil. They seemed to

803
01:08:14.280 --> 01:08:18.760
refer to Demons with very specific names, especially one of them of which,

804
01:08:19.319 --> 01:08:23.439
although I have tried, he failed
to remember what he was like. But

805
01:08:23.760 --> 01:08:27.159
it was pretty weird. I can
remember a little what it was like.

806
01:08:27.840 --> 01:08:31.159
It had three legs, one similar
to that of a rooster, another to

807
01:08:31.199 --> 01:08:35.479
that of a goat and the third
was very similar to the leg of a

808
01:08:35.479 --> 01:08:41.680
pig. He also had a couple
of pronounced horns, I think they were

809
01:08:41.720 --> 01:08:46.000
very similar to those of a goat
and he had a mouth full of sharp

810
01:08:46.000 --> 01:08:50.359
and sharp teeth. I could see
it well, as there were statuettes and

811
01:08:50.399 --> 01:08:56.760
drawings of that thing in many parts. When we concluded that experience, that

812
01:08:57.279 --> 01:09:01.119
was when the strangest events began to
happen for years. John, since that

813
01:09:01.159 --> 01:09:05.640
attack he had never been himself again. While he seemed healthy, his behavior

814
01:09:05.640 --> 01:09:13.359
had changed dramatically. It used to
be fun and extroverted. I always had

815
01:09:13.399 --> 01:09:17.079
a good joke to tell to cheer
us up. Now he was sneaky and

816
01:09:17.079 --> 01:09:21.399
secretive. He could watch nothing for
hours and when someone mentioned that trance,

817
01:09:21.840 --> 01:09:28.279
he reacted aggressively. No doubt that
was not the John we all knew.

818
01:09:29.560 --> 01:09:32.960
Some thought it was because of the
impact of the whole experience. After all,

819
01:09:33.319 --> 01:09:38.159
it had been very hard for everyone
and he had taken one of the

820
01:09:38.239 --> 01:09:43.880
ugliest parts. I felt something was
wrong. My closeness to God made me

821
01:09:43.960 --> 01:09:48.439
feel that kind of thing and my
suspicions became stronger when I once had a

822
01:09:48.520 --> 01:09:54.960
crucifix hanging on my neck and he
seemed to repel me at the same time

823
01:09:55.039 --> 01:10:00.199
that he cursed me and told me
to keep that crucifix away from him.

824
01:10:00.720 --> 01:10:05.920
After that incident, he sometimes used
to speak alone in a strange language that

825
01:10:05.960 --> 01:10:10.760
so far I have no idea where
he learned it or what it was saying,

826
01:10:10.920 --> 01:10:15.359
as it did not resemble any other
language I have heard throughout my life.

827
01:10:17.039 --> 01:10:21.479
Over time, he lost a lot
of weight and was expelled from the

828
01:10:21.600 --> 01:10:28.239
army for assaulting a superior. Despite
that, I continued to visit him from

829
01:10:28.279 --> 01:10:32.720
time to time, even though he
told me horrible things and Blasphemed a lot

830
01:10:32.840 --> 01:10:38.399
against God. His family took him
to many doctors, as his health seemed

831
01:10:38.520 --> 01:10:45.760
to deteriorate too much every day.
The doctors had no explanation for what was

832
01:10:45.760 --> 01:10:49.960
happening to him. It was not
until one of his brothers claimed to have

833
01:10:50.000 --> 01:10:57.159
heard John scream and contort in a
frightening way that they began to consider involving

834
01:10:57.279 --> 01:11:00.920
the Church in it. Apparently,
as much as his family did not often

835
01:11:00.960 --> 01:11:06.079
be very believers, but after so
many visits to the doctor and my testimony,

836
01:11:06.560 --> 01:11:12.000
they decided that he had nothing to
lose by trying. Apparently, he

837
01:11:12.199 --> 01:11:15.960
was visited by many priests, who, looking at him, seemed not to

838
01:11:16.000 --> 01:11:20.960
want to get involved with him.
By that time, he was completely unrecognizable.

839
01:11:21.520 --> 01:11:27.079
He cursed people, screamed at night
and never seemed to be in this

840
01:11:27.159 --> 01:11:31.880
reality. I looked at everyone with
a lot of hatred and the more I

841
01:11:31.920 --> 01:11:38.319
saw him the more I felt that
he was taking the same look as the

842
01:11:38.319 --> 01:11:43.159
man who attacked him that day.
Finally they managed to get a person who

843
01:11:43.199 --> 01:11:46.680
claimed that John was possessed and that
it was necessary to perform an exorcism.

844
01:11:47.279 --> 01:11:53.560
It was three exorcism sessions that were
supposed to be five. I was present

845
01:11:53.680 --> 01:11:58.199
at two of them. John contorted, shouted and laughed at the father who

846
01:11:58.279 --> 01:12:02.880
performed the exorcism, saying horrible things
about everyone there and I always fired a

847
01:12:02.920 --> 01:12:08.840
scent very similar to the one suffered
Then, in the third session, John

848
01:12:08.880 --> 01:12:12.600
' s body did not bear it. He stopped moving and very soon he

849
01:12:12.640 --> 01:12:16.079
also stopped breathing. His death was
ruled as a failure of all his organs.

850
01:12:16.560 --> 01:12:21.479
Apparently, these just went out.
Sometimes I feel like I could have

851
01:12:21.520 --> 01:12:26.960
done something else to help him,
although many tell me that I really couldn

852
01:12:27.039 --> 01:12:31.359
' t have done anything. That
experience helped me to know that, just

853
01:12:31.640 --> 01:12:38.880
as there is a kind God caring
for us, there are also beings who

854
01:12:38.960 --> 01:12:42.399
want to harm us and are always
on the lookout. I must admit that

855
01:12:42.439 --> 01:12:46.279
this experience took me a little further
away from God than I managed to get

856
01:12:46.640 --> 01:13:00.039
closer, but I still believe in
him. Find me. When people ask

857
01:13:00.119 --> 01:13:04.680
me if I fear ghosts, I
usually answer that what really terrifies me is

858
01:13:04.720 --> 01:13:11.159
the living people more than the dead. The atrocities I have witnessed throughout my

859
01:13:11.199 --> 01:13:15.039
military career have made it very clear
to me that human beings can commit despicable

860
01:13:15.119 --> 01:13:21.920
acts that only the most twisted minds
could imagine. As I mentioned earlier,

861
01:13:23.319 --> 01:13:28.319
the stories I have about my military
years are many and some of them are

862
01:13:28.399 --> 01:13:32.239
quite shocking. What I want to
tell you today is something a little different.

863
01:13:32.840 --> 01:13:38.640
While it might be considered a paranormal
story, I rather consider it a

864
01:13:38.760 --> 01:13:45.119
meeting with someone who needed my help. I was almost thirty years old when

865
01:13:45.560 --> 01:13:50.479
this happened and by that time I
was already quite used to living certain experiences

866
01:13:50.880 --> 01:13:56.760
that are not easy to understand.
Working for as long as military makes you

867
01:13:56.880 --> 01:14:02.399
say goodbye to logic in situations where
it no longer exists. We were in

868
01:14:02.479 --> 01:14:08.640
the location of one of the villages
where the manufacture of illicit substances had been

869
01:14:08.640 --> 01:14:13.680
reported, among other things, The
people were very remote and hidden, which

870
01:14:13.760 --> 01:14:18.720
commonly allows such people to take advantage
of the remoteness, ignorance and fear of

871
01:14:18.720 --> 01:14:25.760
people to perform their deplorable acts without
being detected. I' m not going

872
01:14:25.800 --> 01:14:30.279
to mention the name of the town
so I don' t get you into

873
01:14:30.720 --> 01:14:32.000
trouble or myself, so I'
ll just say it was a remote town.

874
01:14:32.720 --> 01:14:36.880
It had been a long day and
the place where it was was was

875
01:14:36.960 --> 01:14:43.119
even further away than we had anticipated. Some people had been arrested and taken

876
01:14:43.159 --> 01:14:47.600
to the relevant authorities, but not
all of us were able to leave,

877
01:14:47.800 --> 01:14:53.039
as we had to follow the marked
protocols. There was so much to do

878
01:14:53.079 --> 01:14:57.279
there that night caught up with us. We were not yet finished when this

879
01:14:57.279 --> 01:15:01.560
happened, and returning and returning the
next day was not feasible for any of

880
01:15:03.399 --> 01:15:08.520
us decided to spend the night there. I know that many will think that

881
01:15:08.560 --> 01:15:14.000
that is counterproductive and risky, but
I will tell you that it is quite

882
01:15:14.119 --> 01:15:18.720
common practice in these kinds of situations
and to tell you the truth, we

883
01:15:18.720 --> 01:15:21.479
could say that we are used to
that, since we had arrested these people.

884
01:15:23.000 --> 01:15:27.600
We knew it was unlikely that we
would be attacked by members of your

885
01:15:28.239 --> 01:15:32.039
group, but still, we decided
to remain vigilant. The first one to

886
01:15:32.199 --> 01:15:36.760
do that was me. It was
almost two o' clock in the morning

887
01:15:36.760 --> 01:15:41.039
and the dream was beginning to overcome
me. It had been a long day

888
01:15:41.039 --> 01:15:45.199
and the tranquility of the atmosphere was
perfect for sleeping. I was just about

889
01:15:45.279 --> 01:15:49.720
to fall asleep. When I heard
a noise, I immediately turned around and

890
01:15:49.800 --> 01:15:54.239
took my gun. I didn'
t aim. I just wanted to be

891
01:15:54.279 --> 01:15:58.119
in control at all times. At
first I could not see anything because of

892
01:15:58.279 --> 01:16:01.720
the darkness and the fact that my
sora eyes were still somewhat out of focus

893
01:16:01.760 --> 01:16:08.359
due to tiredness, but my ears
caught a second sound. When I turned

894
01:16:08.600 --> 01:16:11.640
around I could see a child.
I wouldn' t be more than nine

895
01:16:11.640 --> 01:16:15.359
years old. The boy was doing
nothing, he was just standing. Watching

896
01:16:15.439 --> 01:16:21.560
me, I had pretty marked shiners, I was barefoot and I wasn'

897
01:16:21.560 --> 01:16:25.239
t wearing a T- shirt.
He looked so thin that the bones in

898
01:16:25.279 --> 01:16:30.479
his ribs and clavicles were marked perfectly. It was practically skin and bones.

899
01:16:31.720 --> 01:16:36.279
What struck me the most at the
time was his eyes, which lacked complete

900
01:16:36.319 --> 01:16:43.680
brightness. It was like they were
dry. His gaze was lost and he

901
01:16:43.800 --> 01:16:48.279
just watched me without saying anything.
I tried to communicate with him, asking

902
01:16:48.279 --> 01:16:54.079
him who he was, what he
was doing there, and if he was

903
01:16:54.079 --> 01:16:55.239
hungry in the hope that he would
answer me. But nothing I said or

904
01:16:55.319 --> 01:17:00.560
did seemed to provoke a reaction in
the child. Then, then, when

905
01:17:00.640 --> 01:17:03.319
I wanted to take a step towards
him, he opened his mouth and began

906
01:17:03.319 --> 01:17:09.359
to cry. That wasn' t
the most shocking thing. The most shocking

907
01:17:09.560 --> 01:17:14.680
thing was that the tears coming out
of his eyes were completely black. They

908
01:17:14.720 --> 01:17:18.600
could see themselves scurrying from their cheeks. That' s when I knew that

909
01:17:18.720 --> 01:17:23.960
in no way could it be a
normal child. His way of crying was

910
01:17:24.039 --> 01:17:29.359
so heartbreaking that it generated feelings in
anyone I didn' t want to get

911
01:17:29.359 --> 01:17:31.760
any closer. I didn' t
know what to do, and all I

912
01:17:31.800 --> 01:17:36.520
could do was kick one of the
soldiers who was sleeping closest to sleepy.

913
01:17:38.000 --> 01:17:42.119
He asked me what he was doing, since it wasn' t his turn

914
01:17:42.119 --> 01:17:45.640
to watch. I still pointed to
where the child was. He wanted someone

915
01:17:45.680 --> 01:17:50.960
to support what I was seeing and, indeed, when he looked up to

916
01:17:51.039 --> 01:17:55.840
see it, he was impressed to
see what I was seeing. He couldn

917
01:17:55.920 --> 01:18:01.000
' t react the same way.
He immediately rose from the ground and shouted

918
01:18:01.079 --> 01:18:05.800
warning the rest of the soldiers.
When they woke up, the child simply

919
01:18:05.840 --> 01:18:13.680
faded away, leaving an unmistakable smell
of rot. The soldiers questioned what was

920
01:18:13.800 --> 01:18:18.359
happening and some complained about the smell, but when he pointed out and saw

921
01:18:18.399 --> 01:18:24.560
that there was nothing, many seemed
really restless. As I mentioned earlier,

922
01:18:25.199 --> 01:18:30.279
many of us had already had experiences
with the paranormal, so many did not

923
01:18:30.399 --> 01:18:35.800
need to listen to our story twice
to believe us yet. There wasn'

924
01:18:35.840 --> 01:18:41.079
t much anyone could do. After
all, it wasn' t like we

925
01:18:41.079 --> 01:18:45.880
were having an attack or something we
could face. So little by little everyone

926
01:18:46.159 --> 01:18:51.840
fell asleep again and once I found
myself watching, I decided to smoke.

927
01:18:53.239 --> 01:18:58.279
A little. I was mired in
my thoughts. When I saw the boy

928
01:18:58.359 --> 01:19:02.439
standing right in the same place crying
as he stared at me, I had

929
01:19:02.439 --> 01:19:09.439
no idea what he wanted from me. Then I decided to walk towards him,

930
01:19:09.680 --> 01:19:13.840
but he vanished from one moment to
the next. When I saw that

931
01:19:13.960 --> 01:19:16.920
black smoke spread out in nowhere,
I realized that the place where he was

932
01:19:16.960 --> 01:19:23.079
standing had the land very loose.
At that point everything clicked on my head,

933
01:19:23.520 --> 01:19:28.960
so without thinking twice I took a
shovel and started digging. I didn

934
01:19:29.000 --> 01:19:31.600
' t have to for long.
The grave wasn' t very deep.

935
01:19:32.199 --> 01:19:38.720
I found four black trash bags and
I was quite familiar with it, so

936
01:19:38.760 --> 01:19:43.159
I waited for the worst. Two
of those bags had clothes, both as

937
01:19:43.199 --> 01:19:47.520
a woman and as a child.
Another bag had shoes and money. But

938
01:19:47.760 --> 01:19:55.279
it was up to the third bag
that I found exactly what I thought I

939
01:19:55.279 --> 01:19:58.239
was looking for human bones. There
was no doubt, due to the size

940
01:19:58.359 --> 01:20:01.800
of the bones, he could determine
that these were children’ s bones,

941
01:20:02.079 --> 01:20:06.800
as they were very small. There
were many and it was seen that they

942
01:20:06.840 --> 01:20:11.479
belonged to different people. I woke
up to the others and showed them what

943
01:20:11.520 --> 01:20:17.920
I had found. That triggered a
somewhat deeper search. We found more bodies

944
01:20:18.000 --> 01:20:24.920
almost around that entire property. As
I said before, human beings are often

945
01:20:24.960 --> 01:20:30.800
the worst. Those bones were handed
over, although to be honest, I

946
01:20:30.840 --> 01:20:34.960
doubt that some of them have actually
been claimed, as in the state in

947
01:20:35.000 --> 01:20:40.239
which they were found it is very
difficult to be able to know who they

948
01:20:40.239 --> 01:20:43.840
belonged to. They couldn' t
find anything to identify any of the bodies.

949
01:20:45.680 --> 01:20:48.399
When we ended up in that place, I had to take a couple

950
01:20:48.439 --> 01:20:53.439
of days to understand everything I had
ever lived. Although I was really happy

951
01:20:53.720 --> 01:20:57.600
to have been able to help in
a way that the remains of that child,

952
01:20:58.119 --> 01:21:03.000
along with those of other people,
stayed there. I managed to overcome

953
01:21:03.079 --> 01:21:06.720
it over time, though I still
think about it from time to time.

954
01:21:08.439 --> 01:21:12.680
I think that' s the only
time I' ve ever received a signal

955
01:21:12.760 --> 01:21:15.840
to help something like that and despite
believing that I did the right thing,

956
01:21:16.079 --> 01:21:23.119
sometimes I wonder how many people found
themselves in the same situation and did nothing,

957
01:21:23.680 --> 01:21:28.760
causing the spirits of innocent people to
still wander. Sometimes I think it

958
01:21:29.119 --> 01:21:32.439
' s better not to think about
it and just move on. After all,

959
01:21:32.760 --> 01:21:40.640
that' s all I can do. A story written and adapted by
