Antonio and El Cadejo - Espooky Stories 2

WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:07.160
In El Salvador. Across Land America, there are tales of a dog,

2
00:00:07.679 --> 00:00:11.919
a dog the size of a horse, with red eyes, matted black fur,

3
00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:16.559
and chains that drag across the ground
as it walks. Sometimes the smell

4
00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:20.879
of sulfur accompanies this dog. One
thing is certain, if you see this

5
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:25.239
dog, you don't have much time
left. I'm Christina and this is espooky

6
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:30.640
stories, and today I'm telling you
about an encounter with elk Home. Listen

7
00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:44.640
escucha if you dare. Antonio was
a hard working man, like his father

8
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:48.479
and older brother. He needed to
be. He had a family to feed.

9
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:52.880
Like every hard working man, he
also needed a little break before going

10
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:57.240
home after a long day in the
sun. Every man needed a break,

11
00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:02.439
a drink or two at the cantina. It was just what men did.

12
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:07.319
He always thought he'd go straight home
after work to see his kids and his

13
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:11.319
wife, spent time with them before
they went to bed. This was something

14
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:15.599
he always wanted from his own father. He used to spend hours waiting at

15
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:19.120
the door for him. He used
to tell himself he wouldn't keep his own

16
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:25.719
children waiting like that. But times
were different now. He was a man,

17
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:30.280
a man that needed time to relax
a bit before going home. Home

18
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:34.159
was around the corner anyway, And
it's not like he did this every night.

19
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:38.400
And you know what, he was
there when it mattered. He didn't

20
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:45.480
miss the important days that mattered.
Never mind that he'd only be gone for

21
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:49.680
a little bit anyway, at least
that's what he told himself. That little

22
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:55.519
bit got longer and longer, and
it was now late at night. Antonio

23
00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:59.840
was drinking and having a good time. The bar closed and he and his

24
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:05.040
friends had no choice but to head
home. They were walking on the cobblestone

25
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:10.280
roads of Naui SalCo, just a
group of hard working drunk men heading home

26
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:15.680
in the same direction. At least
they were until Antonio had the urge to

27
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:20.680
pee. His friends wanted to wait
for him, but he told them it

28
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:24.639
was fine, he'd catch up later. He stopped and his friends went on.

29
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:30.240
If he had a watch, he'd
know that it was already past midnight

30
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:36.719
and this was not a good hour
to be out and about. Antonio's Aulita

31
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:40.840
always warned him about being out late
at night, especially out late at night

32
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:47.000
and alone, but he was too
drunk to remember this. Antonio was done

33
00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:53.039
and continued stumbling on his friends nowhere
to be seen. He thought he heard

34
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:58.840
noises behind him, but he kept
walking. He did not want to turn

35
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:04.759
around to check. He heard growling
and the sound of hoops on the cobblestone.

36
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:09.000
He walked a little faster to get
away, but the noises didn't stop.

37
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:16.360
Whatever this was was following him.
Antonio decided to turn around, and

38
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:21.879
there it was a giant black dog
with thick, matted, tangled fur at

39
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:28.199
an odor like no other. This
dog smelled rotten like sulfur. It was

40
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:32.560
the size of a horse, with
piercing red eyes at a chain that dragged

41
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:38.840
along the road as it walked.
He turned his back to this creature and

42
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:43.319
he ran, afraid for his life. The creature did not like this,

43
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:47.280
and it chased Antonio down. Antonio
thought he was running faster than did this

44
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:53.840
thing, and it was suddenly nowhere
to be seen. He slowed down,

45
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:59.159
caught his breath, and took another
step, but when he looked up,

46
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:03.240
it was in front of him.
The giant dog stood and Antonio screamed.

47
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:10.439
He knew what this was. This
was not a dog. This was He

48
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:13.639
wanted to run, but it was
too late. He was being attacked.

49
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:19.680
The dog kicked and hit him and
never bit him. It was abnormally strong.

50
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:27.079
The attack continued and Antonio thought surely
someone would pass by and save him.

51
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:36.040
No one came, and Ilgajo attacked
until Antonio could no longer breathe.
