00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:09.679
This is a story that happened to
me when I was 14. At that

2
00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:14.640
time, my mother had been dead
for almost five years, leaving my three

3
00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:18.640
brothers and I to my father'
s care, Although to be honest,

4
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:23.559
he didn' t do a good
job, because since my mother' s

5
00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:28.679
death I always felt that he behaved
like a child, bringing only money to

6
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:33.240
the house. I was the one
who had to take care of everything else

7
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:37.960
for the simple fact of being the
older sister. My father jumped from one

8
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:42.560
relationship to another and was rarely at
home, as if he wasn' t

9
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:46.840
working, he was on a date. And the worst part was that he

10
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:51.280
wasn' t anything discreet. They
were close people that when my father was

11
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:55.359
bored of them, not having the
slightest respect for those people, he just

12
00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:59.960
stopped talking to them. I never
knew of any couple I' d ended

13
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:04.599
up with in a right way and
honestly, I think we were more ashamed

14
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:08.079
of ourselves than he was to run
into those people when it was all over.

15
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:15.400
But her childish behavior was not only
limited to her loving relationships, but

16
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:21.840
she also used to have problems with
everyone. He often arrived drunk and quarrelled

17
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:26.719
with anyone he saw and, if
there was no one, he would destroy

18
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:32.719
any property, causing him to have
trouble with the neighbors or even the landlord

19
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:37.280
in turn, and this caused us
to be evicted over and over again.

20
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:42.640
We never stayed more than three months
anywhere. And it was in one of

21
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:47.400
these many moves that we came to
the building where this story happened to me.

22
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:53.799
I remember none of us were happy. We had moved from a house

23
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:59.680
with a room for each of us
to that small two- bedroom apartment and

24
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:04.560
one was for my father, so
we had to share with each other,

25
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:08.039
but we knew that there wasn'
t much to do, since after spending

26
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:13.039
almost five years moving each time,
the options were getting less and less.

27
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:19.039
We were unpacking. When someone knocked
on the door, my father opened it

28
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:23.680
and she was a woman with Chinese
and black hair and although she was a

29
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:27.840
little older, she was really well
preserved and had a good body. He

30
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:31.560
greeted us all with kindness, telling
us that he lived in the apartment across

31
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:38.080
the street, but there was something
in his voice that simply did not inspire

32
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:42.080
me any confidence. It was as
if he wasn' t sincere, if

33
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:46.639
only he tried to lower the guard
with his kindness he had a plate with

34
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:50.719
food with him. She told us
that she had seen us arrive and that

35
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:55.479
she knew how difficult it was to
move and that she was sure that would

36
00:02:55.560 --> 00:03:00.960
be much harder with children. So
he had taken the nerve to prepare our

37
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:05.520
food and also said he could give
us the key to his internet. If

38
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:10.120
we needed anything, let' s
not hesitate to ask, as that'

39
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:14.479
s what the neighbors were for.
My father received the plate of food and

40
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:19.759
also stayed talking to the neighbor for
a very good time. At that time

41
00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:24.360
I knew that this woman would be
another one of my father' s many

42
00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:29.199
conquests because of fate we never got
to eat that food. It wasn'

43
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:31.879
t because of mistrust or not wanting
it. In fact, from what I

44
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:37.840
remember smelling also that we just wanted
to find the box with the dishes to

45
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:40.840
eat. My father left the plate
with food on top of some boxes,

46
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:46.800
and two of my brothers, for
playing, threw away that pile, which

47
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:52.120
caused all the food to fall to
the floor, so we never got to

48
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:55.199
eat it. When the neighbor later
asked if we liked it, we all

49
00:03:55.280 --> 00:04:00.599
answered that yes, that it had
been very good, although we never really

50
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:05.800
verified it. At that time we
just didn' t want to hurt your

51
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:09.800
feelings to tell the truth. It
seemed a little strange to me. I

52
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:15.520
remember when that woman asked us if
we liked the food and we told her

53
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:20.800
it was good. He acted a
little weird. It was as if I

54
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:26.160
expected something and for what I lived
with this woman later, I have always

55
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:30.120
thought that the food she gave us
could come to have something. It'

56
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:33.720
s something I can never know.
And after a couple of days of living

57
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:40.120
in that place, my father started
a relationship with her. At first,

58
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:44.920
none of us thought it would have
any impact on our lives, beyond how

59
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:48.560
uncomfortable it would be when my father
left her. But on one occasion,

60
00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:54.920
while we were making friends with the
other children in the building, they told

61
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:59.680
us that my dad was dating the
witch. We asked them what they meant

62
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:04.399
by him and they told us that
this woman was a witch and everyone in

63
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:10.040
the building knew about it. We
were told that the plants or pets of

64
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:15.639
people I had problems with were always
dying. But the truth is, we

65
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:19.160
didn' t believe them at the
time, and we assumed they were building

66
00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:23.720
gossip. Everything changed when my father, as he had done before, ended

67
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:29.800
up with that woman without giving her
any explanation. He didn' t seem

68
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:33.879
to understand it at first, and
he went to our department a couple of

69
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:40.040
times to talk. He was never
there, or even when he did tell

70
00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:45.639
us to tell him he wasn'
t home, so we simply obeyed what

71
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:48.560
he was telling us. The woman
did not give up and reached the point

72
00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:54.680
where my father had to face her
face and tell her openly that he no

73
00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:59.720
longer wanted to be with her as
the classic person who does not usually have

74
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:02.879
emotional responsibility. Instead of openly saying
what he felt, he excused us.

75
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:09.519
He told her we didn' t
like her seeing her and that' s

76
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:12.720
why she' d have to end
the relationship. And although this seemed to

77
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:16.600
be the end, the truth is
that the woman at that time went completely

78
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:21.839
mad and started cursing him and even
tried to beat him my father. All

79
00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:28.120
he did was go back into the
apartment and leave her screaming and cursing in

80
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:30.839
the hallway, as far as I
remember, he even made a joke.

81
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:35.800
Of that I will relate things in
order of how this woman was making life

82
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:43.040
more difficult for us. At first. It all began with a little inexplicable

83
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:48.439
things, which we didn' t
relate to, were small things, like

84
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:54.439
falling glasses with water from the table
or a few things appearing in a completely

85
00:06:54.519 --> 00:07:00.600
different place than we had left them. Although we were four children at home,

86
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:05.319
we never gave him the importance he
deserved. We always thought that some

87
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:12.639
brother had done it because he wasn' t paying enough attention or just playing

88
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:15.439
some kind of joke. So,
as far as that' s concerned,

89
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:19.600
I don' t remember it as
something that upset us every time we think

90
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:24.839
about it. We believe that the
paranormal activity we experienced after our father'

91
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:30.399
s breakup with that woman probably started
that way. I guess since none of

92
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:34.759
us seemed really disturbed by this it
was that it started to raise the level.

93
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:41.519
I remember the first time something really
big happened was while we were sleeping.

94
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:46.439
I was already dreaming, but suddenly, between dreams I heard as if

95
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:49.839
someone were crying. As I opened
my eyes, I realized that it was

96
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:55.639
not a dream, but reality.
I turned around and saw my younger brother,

97
00:07:55.920 --> 00:08:00.839
who was five at the time.
He was pointing to the door and

98
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:05.040
saying that there was something in the
dark he could not see anything and his

99
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:09.560
cries made the other two wake up. No one could see anyone, but

100
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:15.000
since I' m the older sister, I had to arm myself with courage

101
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:18.319
and get up to light the light. Luckily, the switch was on the

102
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:22.879
other end that my brother pointed to, so I walked over there and quickly

103
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:28.279
turned it on. I' ll
always wish I hadn' t, as

104
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:33.679
almost instantly we saw it was the
neighbor standing in one of the corners of

105
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:39.440
the room. Looking at us,
he looked too upset and kept repeating that

106
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:45.120
we had been the culprits. After
about a minute, he just disappeared.

107
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:50.240
It was a very strange thing.
We were too scared. We went to

108
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:54.799
tell our father, but he didn' t pay attention to us. On

109
00:08:54.879 --> 00:09:00.000
the contrary, he scolded me for
encouraging those lies to my rather sad brothers.

110
00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:05.000
We all went back to our room
to go back to sleep, but

111
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:11.200
this time we were so scared that
we moved the beds to sleep together and

112
00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:16.159
fortunately, for the rest of the
night we didn' t experience that presence

113
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:20.720
again that scared us so much,
even though that night we didn' t

114
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:24.440
experience that again. The truth is
that from that day on, paranormal activity

115
00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:31.399
began to become even stronger. Sometimes
we just walked out of the room for

116
00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:33.240
a few seconds, and when we
got back, everything was messed up.

117
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:39.799
Not only paper or trash thrown away, but very often the furniture was flipped

118
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:45.679
and the beds thrown away. The
strange thing was that no particular sound was

119
00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:50.879
heard. Just from one moment to
the next, everything went out of place

120
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:54.279
and got messy. I don'
t have any other way to explain it.

121
00:09:54.960 --> 00:10:01.679
Besides, we all started having a
lot of nightmares, all related to

122
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:05.679
that woman. In dreams he always
told us very horrible things, like that

123
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:11.320
our mom was in hell and that
we would end up there too. If

124
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:16.759
we stood between her and our father, we simply did not know what to

125
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:20.399
do, for the person who should
believe us did not. I remember one

126
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:26.240
time someone knocked on the door while
we were alone my brothers and I,

127
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:31.000
my brother, who was nine years
old, ran to open without checking who

128
00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:33.120
he was and to our surprise,
it was that woman. My brother got

129
00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:39.679
really scared, so I almost immediately
went out and asked him what he wanted.

130
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:45.960
She smiled and acted quite politely,
saying she simply wanted to make peace.

131
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:50.480
He had a big box of pizza
in his hands and offered it to

132
00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:56.240
us saying he bought it. She
wasn' t so sure for us,

133
00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:00.919
so I just thanked her and locked
the door. The two more fish wanted

134
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:05.879
to eat, but that whole situation
gave me very bad spine, so I

135
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:11.039
told them I didn' t leave
the pizza in the area where the washing

136
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:15.720
machine was and I locked that door
to keep someone from eating it and to

137
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:18.080
our surprise. The next morning,
when I went to pull her out,

138
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:24.039
she was completely infested with larvae and
other insects. Besides, she had a

139
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:28.320
lot of hair very similar to that
neighbor' s. I tried to tell

140
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:33.240
my father, but he told me
he was just exaggerating and he didn'

141
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:39.840
t give it too much importance,
so I just threw it away. While

142
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:43.279
I was pulling out the boats.
I noticed that the neighbor had seen that

143
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:48.360
she was throwing away the box with
everything and pizza, but she quickly went

144
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:52.759
back into her apartment without engaging in
any conversation with me. A couple of

145
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:58.240
days after that had happened, the
neighbor knocked on our door again. On

146
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:03.759
this occasion I looked for the peephole
and seeing it as she was, I

147
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:07.679
simply receded e. I signaled for
my brothers to remain silent, hoping that

148
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:13.759
the neighbor would think that there was
no one at home. She didn'

149
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:18.360
t leave and kept knocking on the
door. After about two minutes he said

150
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:24.240
he knew we were there, so
I had no choice but to open the

151
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:28.279
door. I remember making up a
very silly excuse. Still, the neighbor

152
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:33.159
told me not to worry and gave
me a box of what seemed to be

153
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:39.639
chocolate cake. He told us he
baked it and he thought we' d

154
00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:45.000
like it. I felt a little
uncomfortable, but I didn' t know

155
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:50.360
exactly how to respond. I just
accepted and thanked him. I was about

156
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:54.960
to close the door when suddenly she
put her hand to stop me. I

157
00:12:54.960 --> 00:13:00.399
felt a chill of fear, but
I tried not to show it. Suddenly,

158
00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:03.440
the neighbor told me that if I
could taste the cake in front of

159
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:09.360
her, I really didn' t
like it at all. I tried to

160
00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:13.120
make another excuse, like I just
brushed my teeth, but the neighbor didn

161
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:16.639
' t give up. He told
me that if I couldn' t,

162
00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:20.639
then that one of my brothers would
give it to him, since he really

163
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:24.679
wanted to know his opinion. My
younger brother. He almost immediately volunteered,

164
00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:30.600
but something in all that situation gave
me no confidence, so I just said

165
00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:37.120
no. At that time the neighbor
got quite defensive and began to bother by

166
00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:43.519
telling us that we would regret it. Scared, I closed the door keeping

167
00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:48.159
the cake. My brothers wanted to
try it, but I didn' t

168
00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:54.080
leave them and threw it away for
my surprise the next morning. It was

169
00:13:54.200 --> 00:14:00.320
exactly like pizza full of insects and
other bugs, as well as lots of

170
00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:05.200
hair. The worst part was that
my father just didn' t give him

171
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:09.159
the importance he should. Whenever I
told him, he told me that I

172
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:13.000
was exaggerating or that it was normal. If I left the food outside,

173
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:20.080
I felt too lonely in this whole
situation and at that time I believed that

174
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:24.519
everything that had happened to us was
the worst thing that woman could do.

175
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:30.440
But I was about to start something
even more horrible. We' re starting

176
00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:33.480
to get sick. Both my brothers
and I had a fever, all with

177
00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:39.320
a lot of phlegm and a strange
purple rash. This whole thing was pretty

178
00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:41.879
weird. We went to a lot
of doctors, but none of us knew

179
00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:46.679
we had. Everyone thought it might
be some allergy, but every day we

180
00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:52.159
got worse and we had to stay
home all day. I remember we felt

181
00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:58.559
terrible. We had no energy to
do anything at all. Our father had

182
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:03.559
to work, so he wasn'
t with us either. The strange thing

183
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:07.519
was that he never showed any symptoms
of getting the disease, which reinforced the

184
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:13.799
doctors' theory that it was some
allergy or something similar. On one of

185
00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:20.159
the occasions we were home, all
we could do was watch TV. We

186
00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:24.480
were trying to find some entertaining program
for the four of us. Finally,

187
00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:30.080
we put on a movie. A
couple of minutes after selecting the film,

188
00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:35.320
the channels began to change. This
was very strange, as the remote control

189
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:41.960
was on the table and none of
us were touching it. Not only that.

190
00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:46.720
We also began to feel very cold, more than normal. Then,

191
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:50.639
all of a sudden, he stopped
on a channel that we' ve never

192
00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:54.879
seen before. It was like a
home broadcast. The characters looked like puppets,

193
00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:00.360
but like the typical string and wood
puppets. The most disturbing thing was

194
00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:06.320
that they seemed to be characterized as
we and our neighbor across the street.

195
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:11.879
Suddenly, the puppet representing the neighbor
began to repeatedly beat the puppets who represented

196
00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:22.159
us, laughing wildly. We were
all in shock watching that without understanding what

197
00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:26.759
was happening. After that, the
neighbor' s puppet looked straight to the

198
00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:30.840
screen as if she knew we were
watching and began to laugh even louder.

199
00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:38.879
The TV' s volume also increased
to its peak. None of us dared

200
00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:45.759
turn on TV that day. We
all went to our room scared the next

201
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:51.559
morning, the situation got even more
complicated. For my younger brother, the

202
00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:56.440
disease began to affect him much more. He began to have seizures due to

203
00:16:56.519 --> 00:17:00.879
high fevers and the purple rash covered
much of his body Doctors had no explanation

204
00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:07.680
or treatment for what was happening to
him at the time. Our maternal grandmother

205
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:15.839
visited us and when she saw that
all her grandchildren were sick, she was

206
00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:19.079
desperate. We told her everything that
had been going on with her neighbor and

207
00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:26.240
how we thought she had caused us
this worried evil decided to take my younger

208
00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:30.680
brother out of the apartment and take
him home. Even though we didn'

209
00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:33.279
t get better right away, we
saw a big improvement once we got out

210
00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:41.039
of that place. Fevers decreased and
chills stopped. Our maternal grandmother decided to

211
00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:45.599
take us to a clean lady to
help us get rid of whatever was affecting

212
00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:52.640
us. The woman explained to us
that someone had cursed us to die and

213
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:59.279
helped us to free ourselves from that
curse, assuring us that whoever had thrown

214
00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:03.599
it at us would be returned.
I clearly remember how the rash began to

215
00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:10.079
disappear from our skin almost as if
by magic and how we felt healthier after

216
00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:17.880
Cleansing. Our maternal grandfather proposed that
we stay with them. Indignant that our

217
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:22.559
situation had reached that point because of
our father' s negligence and to anyone

218
00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:29.359
' s surprise. Our father accepted
right away, but when we went to

219
00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:33.759
the apartment for our things, we
realized something. It had been about two

220
00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:38.799
weeks and we found a wake right
across the street. We learned that the

221
00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:45.079
woman had contracted a serious illness and
had died in a matter of days,

222
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:48.759
although no one could explain it.
It is clear to me that the evil

223
00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:53.480
that desired us was returned to him
and he could not resist it. Currently,

224
00:18:53.799 --> 00:19:00.000
my brothers and I lead normal and
happy lives and I am grateful that

225
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:07.920
we have experienced something like this again. Story written and adapted by Lisa Hernández
