and witches. That's what we're talking about

00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:18.039

4
00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:22.679
excited because our Listeners story was a
voice memo, so I'm gonna play it.

5
00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:28.039
MJA heard it already because I forgot
to say don't listen to that's so

6
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:31.839
we were recording, but you know
what you said. You forgot everything,

7
00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:34.079

00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:47.359

one time, I remember I started

11
00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:50.240
reading a Listeners story and then I
kept stopping because I was like, I'm

34
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:23.479
play. Growing up, my parents
would send me and my brother too many

35
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:30.240
school for the summers with my mother
Ka the family historian should look after us

36
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:35.280
and tell so many stories about our
community. Brujas Double, the Double,

37
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:42.599
Don't Steals, Worn, the Revolution
and a Molastemuchisme. I'm going to be

38
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:46.439
focusing on my favorite Brujas story for
the submission, just because, like I've

39
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:51.879
been listening to Sailor five on YouTube. My parents are from the community one

40
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:57.639
close to the border of suny Lois, in the Seatra Corta. Some of

41
00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:02.560
those communities where the road like aren't
exactly developedpecially around the time where the stories

42
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:07.719
took place, there were like no
roads, just trails. So to give

43
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:12.159
some context, it's about a thirty
minute walk to see your closest neiper and

44
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:15.240
about thirty minutes and foot to a
town. There's a lot of you know,

45
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:21.560
prough health being in the lights in
the mountains that night, and then

46
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:24.759
it's a little disturbing for me when
I was seeing it growing up, but

47
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:30.439
everyone's like not unusual for folks.
It to be like every other day thing

48
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:35.759
for folks that lived out there.
So I'm going to be focusing on my

49
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:40.919
cousin Basque and so he was at
a party one of those three hour away

50
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:47.120
towns one night and was drinking.
So I feel like the validarty is a

51
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:51.800
little bit questionable. But I think
there's a lot of things that are questionable

52
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:54.039
to the age. But let's not
talk about that. But you know,

53
00:03:54.080 --> 00:04:00.520
the families pretty seriously because of how
his body looked afterwards, And you know

54
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:04.199
why I was being told to me
like twenty years later. He's one of

55
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:08.759
those like twenty year old cousins that
are like twenty years older than me.

56
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:13.879
And he left the party on a
donkey. He was tired, and it

57
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:18.240
was about halfway home when he saw
a light in the mountain, But because

58
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:24.839
it was not unusual, he didn't
give it too much thought and he just

59
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:30.639
kept chatting along. Sometimes had passed
and he came across another one, and

60
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:40.519
then another one, and fuel posts
like like it was just like a chill

61
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:46.120
that rushed over him. It was
an airy feeling, and the donkey that

62
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:51.120
he was writing felt it too ten
stop and it didn't want to move either

63
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:58.199
forward or backward. Then he realized
that the lights were actually moving towards him.

64
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:04.519
The donkey jolted and it threw him
off. And this is where like

65
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:12.279
things happened really fast and he doesn't
feel clear about what had happened next or

66
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:17.360
the only thing that he remembers about
this part is just being surrounded by laughter.

67
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:24.399
And it was like a laughter that
he felt vibrate in his body,

68
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:30.439
and his body kind of just being
tossed around and thrown to the ground and

69
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:38.839
like feeling blunt objects hitting him.
Oh my god, and then those like

70
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:45.600
the weird cart was his neck being
stuck. He remembers just like fighting for

71
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:53.360
his life and he couldn't tell us
if he let him go or he managed

72
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:59.720
to escape because he was like so
disoriented by what had happened. He was

73
00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:04.879
just running. He wasn't going towards
home or anything. He's just trying to

74
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:11.959
run away from the laughter and from
the lights and to the morning. And

75
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:17.000
he managed to make it too a
kamnitoa like ended up bleeding towards home.

76
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:21.160
When he got home, like they
examined him and the bruce is all over

77
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:28.519
his nack like said wound, you
know, the bato And like as a

78
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:32.839
kid, I remember being terrified,
like hearing this, I would never fall

79
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:39.800
asleep with my neck exposed. Our
blankets world were like my shirt around my

80
00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:45.240
neck, just because that was part
of the stories that the Brucas stuck your

81
00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:49.120
neck as an adult. Now,
I'm just like the sounds like the sounds

82
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:54.879
like you know, it was just
like a teenager and be it was like

83
00:06:54.959 --> 00:07:00.920
falling around with something. But that's
my story. I hope can share it.

84
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:03.959
Also, I just post them spooks
here, so oh yeah, I'll

85
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:10.199
show into doing what you're daring.
That was insane. Wow, it like

86
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:15.079
it grows to me out like I
don't know, whenever here kill us brujas,

87
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:17.920
uh, you know, whenever like
like suck your blood. I feel

88
00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:23.600
like it's such a violating thing to
do, like obviously, but like it

89
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:30.279
I almost can like you how violating
it is. Yeah, that's horrifying and

90
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:32.639
like you know how he said like
growing up and he's like, oh,

91
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:38.959
it was probably just like what about
the bruises. Yeah, yeah, that's

92
00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:44.240
a horrifying story. It was perfect
for this episode because we have Brujas stories.

93
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:47.360
So thank you so much for setting
that in as a voice memo too.

94
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:50.360
It just I think it's more fun. I mean, we're both great,

95
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:55.160
but it just adds a little a
little change, you know. Also,

96
00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:59.240
thank you for buying some spooky here. Yes, thank you so much

97
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:01.600
again, and if you want to
send it in, you can do it

98
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:03.720
as a voice memo. Okay,
so I think we have like three stories.

99
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:07.879
We have so our first story is
not a which story, but it

100
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:15.199
is a cursed land story, which
also fun. Not fun for whoever's on

101
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:22.959
the land, but fun for us. Yeah. So this is Las Arenas

102
00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:31.240
de la Paria or the Ruins.
What's up? Isn't it like a parish?

103
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:35.279
I think it's a parish? Yeah, yeah, so the parish Ruins.

104
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:39.519
Let's see. Yeah, I don't
know. It sounds better in Spanish.

105
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:41.720
I'm probably translated it wrong. We'll
see if Dawn translated it better.

106
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:46.879
Probably she did, she did,
Okay, probably I didn't read it because

107
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:54.759
you probably did. So this land
is rumored to be cursed. It's in

108
00:08:54.919 --> 00:09:00.759
Cartago, Costa Rica, and currently
it's a public garden. It's popular with

109
00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:05.159
tourists. But it was once home
to several churches, and all these churches

110
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:11.559
suffered the same terrible fate. The
location these churches used to stand on is

111
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:16.639
now known as Lazrenaz la Parochia or
the Parish Ruins. No, I was

112
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:20.960
right, it is the parish Ruins. Anyway, let me keep it going,

113
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:28.320
I had to interrupt the story from
Okay, So the land was first

114
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:31.720
home to a church that was constructed
in fifteen seventy three, and it lasted

115
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:35.679
that is how long as time ago. Yeah, that is the time of

116
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:41.360
the colonizers. Yeah, was this
the first church? I don't even know.

117
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:48.039
That's a long time ago. Yeah, Okay, this church lasted less

118
00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:52.919
than a hundred years, and then
it was severely damaged by an earthquake in

119
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:58.679
sixteen thirty and then it was fully
demolished in sixteen fifty six. Then they

120
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:03.519
built another church the same spot in
sixteen sixty two, and the same thing

121
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:07.039
happened. Earthquakes hit the area in
seventeen eighteen and seventeen fifty six, and

122
00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:11.799
the earthquakes heavily damaged the church.
So then in eighteen forty one it was

123
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:18.639
completely destroyed the church that was there. And then I guess the locals didn't

124
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:22.519
learn their lesson, and in eighteen
seventy they began to build another church on

125
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:28.200
the same spot, but this time
they didn't make it far enough. They

126
00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:33.799
didn't finish building it. It was
put on holds for thirty years and then

127
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:37.879
resumed again. In nineteen o three. They don't stop. They really wanted

128
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:43.039
a church. Then in nineteen ten, another another earthquake hit the same area,

129
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:46.639
destroying the church again. This time
they were like, no, this

130
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:50.759
land is cursed, and they gave
up on trying to build the church.

131
00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:56.840
One legend states that the land became
cursed after a brutal murder occurred there.

132
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:03.519
Another legend in Colonial times says that
there was two brothers who fell in love

133
00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:05.919
with the same woman there. One
of them killed the other for her.

134
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:11.039
The legend goes that one was popular
around town and the other was a Catholic

135
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:16.279
priest preached at the church that was
built on that land. The priest became

136
00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:20.720
enraged when the woman chose his brother. I'm sorry, was he not a

137
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:24.039
priest? He couldn't even be with
her anyway? Right exactly? So what

138
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:28.120
damn? Okay? Well, there's
some priests who probably don't give two ups.

139
00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:31.720
So true True. Unable to control
his feelings of jealousy, he set

140
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:37.039
out to ruin his brother's reputation,
and when that didn't work, he used

141
00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:43.039
a knife to murder his brother inside
the church during the night of New Year's

142
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.200
Mass. When the priest realized he
had committed a crime, inside a sacred

143
00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:50.519
place. He promised God he would
build another church to make up for what

144
00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:54.399
he had done, but it said
that instead God cursed the land, and

145
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:58.480
that's why every church that has been
built on this has been brought down by

146
00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:01.799
earthquakes. And other version of the
legend states that it was the priest who

147
00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:07.200
was murdered by his brother, not
him being the murderer. And this version

148
00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:11.960
of the legend the brother was married
to the woman and the priests began a

149
00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:18.639
romantic affair with their brother's wife.
When the priest Wow. When the priest's

150
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:22.879
brother found out, he was obviously
mad. He was the I guess.

151
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:26.960
He was also the mayor of the
town, and so he murdered his brother

152
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:33.080
and got away with it because the
mayor the mayor priest. No, no,

153
00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:37.360
no, and the other one was
the mayor. Yeah. And the

154
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:41.159
mayor brother killed the priest brother,
and he got away with it because he's

155
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:46.559
the mayor and he could do whatever
he wanted. Yeah, And so he

156
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:54.639
murdered his priest's brother and then buried
him under the church and used his political

157
00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:58.240
power to hide the crime. No
matter which version of the legend you believe,

158
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:03.480
it's still said that the priest haunts
the land as well, and he

159
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:07.399
might even be headless. I don't
know when he became headless or hound,

160
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:11.960
but he lost it somehow. Yeah, God took it after he died.

161
00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:18.399
Yeah, I'm taking this mine.
Yeah. You don't deserve it, you

162
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:26.080
can't clearly you're not using Yeah.
Others also say that the location has a

163
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:31.080
different feeling at night, so it's
like a sunny public guardian in the morning,

164
00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:35.200
and then at night it's like the
sinister, eerie, dark vibe.

165
00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:41.480
So yeah, that was the church
ruins of Cartago, Costa Rica. Oh

166
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:46.200
but then I like I at the
same time, I'm like not scared enough

167
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:52.600
to be like I would never lose
it. Yeah. My story is from

168
00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:58.840
the podcast Extra Normal, and this
story in particular is what turned me into

169
00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:05.279
their show. Now it's a Spanish
only show, so our Spanish challenge friends,

170
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:09.759
I will be translating the story.
However, they have hundreds of stories

171
00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:13.720
and if you speak Spanish, go
check them out. They're they're pretty awesome.

172
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:18.600
It's a very good podcast. I've
been listening. A thirty year old

173
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:24.120
woman from Lexkala wrote into the show
and there's her story is pretty disturbing for

174
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:28.720
various reasons, but one that many
women can relate to. In particular,

175
00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:35.399
everything happened when her father died she
was fifteen years old. A while later,

176
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:39.000
her mother began to date a coworker, and he began to frequently be

177
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:43.799
around, going over to their house
often, until one day he moved in.

178
00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:48.159
She noticed that when she was fifteen
and sixteen, he would look at

179
00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:52.519
her in a very strange way.
Oh no, the kind of stairs that

180
00:14:52.639 --> 00:15:00.120
make people very uncomfortable. I hate
it gross. She tried to avoid at

181
00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:05.080
him as much as possible, and
as she gets older, her mother's boyfriend's

182
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:09.519
becomes very caring towards her. He
would go in for a hug and say,

183
00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:13.039
oh, my daughter, grab and
hugger in a way that made her

184
00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:20.120
very uncomfortable. She tells Faco,
one of the co hosts, in her

185
00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:24.320
letter, that her mom's boyfriend would
repulse or his scent that he had would

186
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:28.639
just churn her stomach. She would
tell her mother, I don't like him

187
00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:33.320
living here. He looks weird.
He looks at me weird. Her mother

188
00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:37.120
would just dismiss her claims, didn't
care to hear, and just didn't care

189
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:41.519
about her complaints. She turned twenty
two and she started dating a guy.

190
00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:46.639
Her stepdad became furious. He would
treat her boyfriend like shit, and she

191
00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:52.000
couldn't understand his behavior. Her boyfriend
is a good guy, a good son,

192
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:56.200
a good student. He was jealousy
and he was like he had a

193
00:15:56.200 --> 00:16:00.360
promising future, and he was overall
a good person. He checks all the

194
00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:04.000
boxes right. However, her stepdad
would say things like cut him out of

195
00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:07.080
your life. I saw him doing
this, that and the other. But

196
00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:11.799
every day her stepdad would say the
same thing, cut him off, break

197
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:17.240
up with him. It was daily. As time goes on, her relationship

198
00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:21.080
with her boyfriend becomes more and more
serious. When she was twenty six,

199
00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:25.080
her boyfriend proposed to her. Her
mother gathers the family and tells them she's

200
00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:30.559
engaged, and everyone is, you
know, ecsthetic, except her stepdad.

201
00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:33.919
He must have forgotten he was around
people because he was angry and was letting

202
00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:38.039
it show. He threw a tantrum
or something like. It's it's suggested he's

203
00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:44.360
through like some kind of tantrum.
The mother was somehow shocked, Pikachu face

204
00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:48.679
like you didn't see this, and
she begins to spend time with her boyfriend.

205
00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:53.279
It's insinuated in all the ways,
because apparently this is you know,

206
00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:59.200
it comes back in the story out
of Nowhere. She begins to have dreams

207
00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:03.279
of her step dad, erotic dreams. She would have sexual relations with her

208
00:17:03.319 --> 00:17:08.039
stepdad in these dreams, and she
began to notice that when she was around

209
00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:12.799
him, his scent didn't repulse her
like it used to. She began to

210
00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:17.279
like his scent. It was something
she began to think about a lot.

211
00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:22.079
It was intoxicating to her. She
couldn't stop thinking about it. His hugs

212
00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:26.799
no longer no longer made her feel
uncomfortable. They no longer disgusted her.

213
00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:32.799
She couldn't even tolerate being intimate with
her boyfriend. She couldn't, you know,

214
00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:37.759
she can't stand it anymore. Everything
changed. She tells her friend what

215
00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:41.400
is going on, and she doesn't
understand. Logically, it makes no sense

216
00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:44.640
that the smell this man gave off
for years and years, you know,

217
00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:48.680
it smells terrible to her, and
all of a sudden it's intoxicating and she

218
00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:52.039
can't get intimate with her partner and
her friend's like, Amita, this sounds

219
00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:56.319
like someone is doing witchcraft on you. Go to this woman and she will

220
00:17:56.359 --> 00:18:00.839
help you. And this woman that
they go to was part of a Christian

221
00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:04.279
congregation who are known for removing curses. She goes on to say she didn't

222
00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:08.440
believe in any of it, but
was terrified at what she was experiencing.

223
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:12.720
And she goes and joins the congregation
at one of their prayer sessions, and

224
00:18:12.839 --> 00:18:17.359
she begins to have a terrible headache, to the point she had to leave

225
00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:22.079
the group prayer because it was debilitating
her friends. Her friend asked her why

226
00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:26.279
did you leave? What happened?
And she tells her my head began hurting

227
00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:29.920
so terribly, so I had to
go. So then they speak to someone

228
00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:33.640
from the congregation and they make a
date and time to visit her. She

229
00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:37.359
made sure to do it when no
one was home, so her mom and

230
00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:41.640
stepdad would be gone. A few
people from the congregation came over and they

231
00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:45.920
sit down and tell her what we
want to pray for you. And this

232
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:48.119
is crucial to the story. But
she lives in a two story house.

233
00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:52.920
They all gather in the living room
and begin praying. Some of them begin

234
00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:59.200
speaking in tongues again the same thing
as the last prayer session happened. Her

235
00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:02.599
head began to hurt. However,
this is when the noise from the second

236
00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:07.599
floor could be heard, some rattling
and something being like hit. Oh that's

237
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:14.000
scary. Yeah. They tell her
something's going on, so her and another

238
00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:19.359
person go to investigate the noises coming
from her room. Her vanity mirror was

239
00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:25.960
violently moving. The person with her
was like, let's take apart this mirror.

240
00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:29.920
They take it apart, remove the
frame, and inside the mirror was

241
00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:34.599
a little sack. It was covered
in a red liquid and it was moving.

242
00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:38.640
This little thing was what was making
the mirror move. Everyone else comes

243
00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:42.839
up to see what's going on.
She's sing with her own eyes this thing

244
00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:47.720
moved, but her brain can't compute. She's into now because what she's sing

245
00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:52.319
should be impossible. And they opened
the sack and inside are two pictures,

246
00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:59.079
one of him and one of her, along with dirt and ground bones.

247
00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:03.200
She goes to say there was more
borgia, which translates to filth, but

248
00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:07.640
she doesn't go into detail of what
it was. Oh, I don't even

249
00:20:08.359 --> 00:20:12.599
probably something terrible. Yeah. The
group poured alcohol on it and try to

250
00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:17.279
light it, but it would extinguish. They couldn't get it to burn.

251
00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:21.960
Then they put oil on it and
prayed and prayed until they until finally it

252
00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:25.960
caught fire and it was consumed.
They told her that the curses lifted.

253
00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:30.519
This guy did some work on you. She begins to feel normal. She

254
00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:33.640
tells her mom what happened, and
her mother is distraught, so much so

255
00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:37.359
that both her and her mother wait
for him to confront him. Here's the

256
00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:42.200
weird part. He never returns.
Somehow he knew everyone found out what he

257
00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:45.559
did and that the curse is broken. She goes on to say that this

258
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:48.960
happened to her four or five years
ago and it was something she has had

259
00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:53.920
to live with and wants her story
to be told so people will be careful.

260
00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:59.960
And you know, I can't say
whether witchcraft is real or not,

261
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:07.359
but what does exist is creepy as
men and true that ladies be careful as

262
00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:11.160
the men in your life and the
men you let around your children. The

263
00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:15.000
mother finally believing her like also makes
it seem like she was in a trance

264
00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:18.920
as well, and it was finally
broken because all of a sudden, like

265
00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:22.079
she was like, oh, like, I believe you. This dude was

266
00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:27.480
predatory af and yeah, gross and
the host of the podcast also begin to

267
00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:32.640
have weird noises during their were telling
of the story. No way, Yes,

268
00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:36.200
so my mom sent me a link
on Facebook. Link that's where you

269
00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:38.119
know I heard that's what that was. Yes, that's what Okay, that's

270
00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:44.599
the okay, that like story is
just so gross because like predatory men being

271
00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:51.279
it's just it's just gross being predatory, being a gross pedophile. Yeah,

272
00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:57.640
man is already discussing, but add
in using witchcraft too for his nefarious purposes

273
00:21:57.799 --> 00:22:03.000
is even like worse grosser. Yeah, and like you hear this all the

274
00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:08.119
time that people like try to make
like love spells so another person can fall

275
00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:11.200
in love. It's just so it's
so nasty, like if they don't like

276
00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:15.559
you, they don't like you,
move on. Yeah. Yeah, but

277
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:19.960
like his case, it's like he
was just fucking gross nasty. And the

278
00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:25.480
mom makes me mad because if a
man ever made my children uncomfortable, they're

279
00:22:25.519 --> 00:22:27.440
gone. I don't care. I
could love them, I don't give a

280
00:22:27.480 --> 00:22:33.079
shit. You do not make my
kids uncomfortable. Yeah. Yeah, I

281
00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:37.000
was trying to find the episode that
it was, but I also can't find.

282
00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:42.359
Yeah, but I linked their Facebook
linked to the specific story of their

283
00:22:42.359 --> 00:22:47.359
retailing because sometimes they break up the
episodes and just put up clips. So

284
00:22:48.359 --> 00:22:53.119
the clip to this story is in
my notes. But yeah, it's just

285
00:22:53.200 --> 00:22:59.720
gross. Yeah, that's that's so
much using which we have to be a

286
00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:03.759
put files disgusting. Yes, I've
also noticed that there's like whenever people say

287
00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:10.039
they were cursed by a ba or
brujo and later they talk about it,

288
00:23:10.119 --> 00:23:14.039
then like things start happening. Yeah, so like they can't even talk about

289
00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:17.440
it, and which is even more
terrifying. But yeah, that's scary.

290
00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:21.920
Thankfully, whatever she had, she
was like, you know, she was

291
00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:25.079
conscious enough to be like, listen, bitchelors, some shit going on.

292
00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:32.000
I gotta get help. Welcome to

thank you for doing that. Yeah, so my story it's a little long.

314
00:25:06.519 --> 00:25:15.559
It's from like four years ago from
It's titled and tepitos like a neighborhood

315
00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:21.279
in Sida, Mexico, because they're
like it's broken up not I don't know

316
00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:25.559
if neighborhood is the right word,
but zones areas of Mexico are like broken

317
00:25:25.640 --> 00:25:30.799
up into like yeah, like zones
like like my my uli does it lomaze

318
00:25:32.319 --> 00:25:36.839
something? You know, like each
area has like its own name inside whatever

319
00:25:36.920 --> 00:25:41.440
city. So this is Tepito.
So I guess like from four years ago

320
00:25:41.519 --> 00:25:48.000
from since Spanish as well, if
you want to hear it told in a

321
00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:52.960
better voice than mind and check that
out. Also, I'm gonna run a

322
00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:57.160
poll because I was telling Carmen that
the guy from has a hot voice and

323
00:25:57.200 --> 00:26:00.160
she was like, I don't know, and then she listened again and she

324
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:03.279
was like, no, you're right, but I have to run a poll

325
00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:08.160
to see if anyone else agrees with
me and Carmen now who also agrees with

326
00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:11.519
me? Okay, So let me
go on, let me go on,

327
00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:15.039
Let me start the story. I
haven't me the story of it. Okay.

328
00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:21.680
So when Sadko was a young teen
and his younger sister was around eight,

329
00:26:21.799 --> 00:26:25.839
and this was like the early nineties, his family went through some rough

330
00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:29.559
times. His dad lost his job, they lost their house, so they

331
00:26:29.599 --> 00:26:33.640
moved to a vesting dad. I
don't want to say they're like projects because

332
00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:37.000
I don't know if that's right,
but it's lower cost living and they're like

333
00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:44.279
looked down upon. Yeah, yeah, like section eight. But but I

334
00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:47.400
don't know if that's how they work. I just know that and novellas as

335
00:26:47.440 --> 00:26:52.400
were all the poor people. That's
true. So yeah, he had other

336
00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:56.359
family in the vesting dad, so
they were all going to move there,

337
00:26:56.160 --> 00:27:00.519
and they were sad. Obviously they're
like losing their house that I'd lost his

338
00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:04.759
job, But he said he remembers
his mom saying what at least whatever like

339
00:27:06.039 --> 00:27:08.720
entity was haunting them in their house
was they were going to leave it there,

340
00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:15.640
right, So it was not all
bad because for years since they were

341
00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:19.400
living in the house, said HER's
mom and his sister claimed to have and

342
00:27:19.480 --> 00:27:23.400
la casa the ghost of a man. Yeah, it sounds scarier in Spanish

343
00:27:23.400 --> 00:27:29.519
that when people say, yeah,
it just sounds grosser. Yeah. Yeah,

344
00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:33.359
then like a ghost and it's not
the same thing. There's a dead

345
00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:37.519
guy, there's a dead yea.
Because it literally feels like when it's described

346
00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:41.359
in Spanish, it's like there's no
there's like really a dead guy. It's

347
00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:47.920
like the same thing as sleep paralysis, the same. Yeah, it's worse,

348
00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:52.160
it's so much worse. So yeah, they would say that there was

349
00:27:53.640 --> 00:27:57.039
a ghost. They would see him
in the shadows looking at them while they

350
00:27:57.079 --> 00:28:02.200
tried to sleep. Sometimes I could
see it walk in front of an open

351
00:28:02.359 --> 00:28:06.160
room, like an open door.
Said he never saw himself, just his

352
00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:10.119
sister and his mom. His dad
didn't see it either, at least not

353
00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:18.400
in that house. So yeah,
the foreshadowing obvious for shadowing or whatever.

354
00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:25.319
So the family moved to Levising that
in Tepitosa, Mexico. Said he always

355
00:28:25.319 --> 00:28:29.079
heard bad things about these neighborhoods,
these areas, but he was very happy.

356
00:28:29.079 --> 00:28:32.279
He was close to his cousins.
Everyone in the area was nice to

357
00:28:32.319 --> 00:28:34.599
them. There were so many kids
to play with. But they did notice

358
00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:38.119
that while they were playing outside,
there was a woman always watching them.

359
00:28:38.160 --> 00:28:42.920
She was elderly, she had an
amputated leg. She lived alone. Maybe

360
00:28:44.039 --> 00:28:48.039
her late seventies is like what said. He was guessing, and he was

361
00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:52.039
like, life looks like it's been
rough for her, like hard seventies is

362
00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:56.839
what he said. When her I'd
be offended I'm excuse him. Although to

363
00:28:56.920 --> 00:29:00.240
be fair, like seventy five,
I'm like, yeah, you should look

364
00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:03.400
old. I think at that age
it'd still be a fan. I was

365
00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:07.119
like, I don't care, don't
call it rough, okay, like every

366
00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:14.039
other seventy year old, it looked
better than every other seventy year old sassy

367
00:29:14.119 --> 00:29:21.599
hair web So said he watched his
cousin's like greet the woman that was staring

368
00:29:21.599 --> 00:29:25.119
at them from afar. Nobody got
close to her and she only grunted back.

369
00:29:25.119 --> 00:29:29.519
She didn't really say hi back,
and at that moment said he's oldest

370
00:29:29.519 --> 00:29:32.960
cousin. She told everyone to go
back inside, like when when his cousin

371
00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:36.599
saw the women. So they all
went inside, and when they got in,

372
00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:38.680
his aunt his tana was like,
why are you guys back so early?

373
00:29:40.119 --> 00:29:44.680
And his cousin was like, oh, the witch came out earlier than

374
00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:47.960
usual, is what she said.
And So said he was like what a

375
00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:51.319
witch in a way, and he
would ask his cousins for stories why they

376
00:29:51.319 --> 00:29:52.720
thought that. He was like,
this is kind of cool, like I'm

377
00:29:52.759 --> 00:30:00.000
gonna have a witch story to tell
until until that wasn't cool anymore. It's

378
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:07.440
so chaotic. Yeah, he was
at his cousin's until ten pm, and

379
00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:08.240
then it was like he was like, oh, it's getting late, I

380
00:30:08.279 --> 00:30:12.480
should start heading out. So when
he was about to head out, his

381
00:30:12.640 --> 00:30:15.839
DA was like, oh, wait, I'm gonna give you some hot chocolate.

382
00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:18.559
Just wait by the door. So
because they lived like right by each

383
00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:19.720
other, so she's like, here, let me give you this thing to

384
00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:23.039
take home. And so while he
was standing there waiting for her, his

385
00:30:23.160 --> 00:30:29.480
DA to bring over the hot chocolate, another woman walked up to the door

386
00:30:29.559 --> 00:30:33.119
like she was gonna say something,
but she didn't. She just was standing

387
00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:37.880
there and he was like, can
I help you? Are you looking for

388
00:30:38.079 --> 00:30:41.920
yeah? And she she was like
no, Miko, I just want to

389
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:45.160
tell you, like, take good
care of your sister. And then she

390
00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:47.839
pointed to another house, and so
I said, yo, looked at where

391
00:30:47.839 --> 00:30:52.039
she was pointing, and that's when
he saw his sister helping the quote unquote

392
00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:55.720
bruka into her house, like she
was pushing her wheelchair in, and so

393
00:30:55.799 --> 00:30:57.079
he ran over there as fast as
he could because he was like, oh

394
00:30:57.119 --> 00:31:00.279
no, if she's a witch,
like something's going to happen, right,

395
00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:04.119
So he ran over there and he
was ready to scold his sister like,

396
00:31:04.599 --> 00:31:08.279
don't go into strangers homes. What
are you doing? When he ran into

397
00:31:08.720 --> 00:31:15.599
like the Brujas open door to stop, his sister La Bruca said to him

398
00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:18.599
like, oh, she did nothing
wrong. She's just helping an old lady

399
00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:22.319
into her house. And he was
like, you know what, you're right,

400
00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:26.599
like she she's just helping you.
There's nothing wrong here. And then

401
00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:29.000
she was like all right, well, don't go telling your parents because you

402
00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:32.640
know she did nothing wrong and said
here. For some reason, felt compelled

403
00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:36.480
to listen to her, and he
just walked away with his sister and they

404
00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:40.519
got back to his at Thea's house
and the same woman was there waiting for

405
00:31:40.559 --> 00:31:49.680
them, and she told him so
in English because of that which the devil

406
00:31:49.720 --> 00:31:55.440
shows up here every night, horrible, I'd be so scared. And then

407
00:31:55.559 --> 00:32:01.599
she said they're going to take her
too. Oh yeah. So immediately Sakio

408
00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:08.160
was like, what's excuse me?
Because Sakio his cousins had told him stories

409
00:32:08.200 --> 00:32:13.640
of like oh people hear things here, or oh like things move on their

410
00:32:13.640 --> 00:32:16.279
own, but nothing about a missing
child, so he was like, what's

411
00:32:16.279 --> 00:32:20.759
going on. He and his sister
went home immediately after that, but they

412
00:32:20.759 --> 00:32:24.640
didn't say anything about what happened to
their thea, their cousins or their parents.

413
00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:30.279
But after that night, Sadko's sister
started acting strange. He would wake

414
00:32:30.359 --> 00:32:34.559
up in the middle of the night
and see her staring at the women's house

415
00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:40.000
their window. Yeah. Gross.
While they were playing outside, he would

416
00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:44.640
see his sister go near the women's
window and just stand there and stare.

417
00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:51.200
Oh. Sometimes at night he could
swear there was strange like chanting, like

418
00:32:51.240 --> 00:32:55.240
a chanting song coming from La Bruca's
house, and his sister would be staring

419
00:32:55.440 --> 00:33:00.279
in the middle of the night.
That is so creepy. Yeah, read

420
00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:04.200
minds of what's it called? What
is that paranormal activity? When the girl

421
00:33:04.240 --> 00:33:07.920
would just like stand there, yes, yes, when she's at the at

422
00:33:07.960 --> 00:33:10.680
the end of the bed, just
standing there staring. Yeah. Yeah.

423
00:33:12.160 --> 00:33:15.400
But still said he didn't tell their
parents anything. They had other things to

424
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:21.519
worry about, other things to be
scared of, because it seemed like Elmertov,

425
00:33:21.759 --> 00:33:25.799
the entity from their old home,
had followed them there into their new

426
00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:32.960
house and leaves in that shortly after
all they started happening with Lebruka. There

427
00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:39.079
was one night that said he was
mom. She felt she felt that she

428
00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:43.960
actually paralysis. She always managed to
shake it off, but that night,

429
00:33:44.279 --> 00:33:47.480
when she was trying to like get
out of this, she actually saw a

430
00:33:47.519 --> 00:33:52.480
black shadow on top of her.
Oh and like it was like a shadow

431
00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:58.519
and all she could see was like
its eyes. It just grassed me out

432
00:33:58.680 --> 00:34:02.440
so bad. Yeah, And so
I mean they all knew that, like

433
00:34:02.599 --> 00:34:07.239
not all visions during sleep paralysis are
real, like they could be just like

434
00:34:07.360 --> 00:34:13.320
in your head. But Setio's dad
woke up because he felt like a pressure

435
00:34:13.320 --> 00:34:15.719
in his chest and when he woke
up and looked, he saw the shadow.

436
00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:19.800
Sayo's mom was screaming. His dad
got up to turn the light on

437
00:34:19.880 --> 00:34:22.480
and then the shadow was gone.
He saw it, and he was not

438
00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:28.960
having sleep paralysis. So I don't
know, Yeah, more than one person

439
00:34:29.119 --> 00:34:32.679
saw that. Yeah, that's when
it makes it like more real and horrible.

440
00:34:34.880 --> 00:34:37.119
After this, said, He's little
sister also started having issues sleeping.

441
00:34:37.679 --> 00:34:42.920
She said that every night she felt
something calling her name from the window,

442
00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:47.960
asking her to let it in.
Oh no, horrible, and she started

443
00:34:49.000 --> 00:34:52.639
sleeping in her parents' room after this, and I don't blieme her. So

444
00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:54.840
then Sejo was alone in his room
because they shared a room. Oh fuck,

445
00:34:54.880 --> 00:34:59.960
that shit I'd be like, listen, mom, Dad, yeah,

446
00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:06.880
makes him he scoot over. And
though he never saw anything, he said

447
00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:10.719
that every night he would hear the
same noise, like someone was dragging something

448
00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:15.039
back and forth right outside the window. What the fuck? And his cousins

449
00:35:15.079 --> 00:35:20.360
told him, Oh, that's La
Ruka. She turns into every night a

450
00:35:20.480 --> 00:35:23.920
vulture, and she that's the sound
she makes as she flies past the windows.

451
00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:30.079
Horrible girls. And one night,
said he woke up sweating hot despite

452
00:35:30.119 --> 00:35:34.199
it being a cold night. He
heard dishes in the kitchen and he was

453
00:35:34.239 --> 00:35:36.239
like, oh, it's my dad. I'm just gonna wake up and go

454
00:35:36.320 --> 00:35:38.760
talk to him because I can't sleep. And when he got to the kitchen

455
00:35:38.800 --> 00:35:44.280
and looked at the sink, it
wasn't his dad, it was what looked

456
00:35:44.280 --> 00:35:51.360
like a man, but like burned
burns everywhere. So he screamed, screams

457
00:35:51.400 --> 00:35:53.679
all the way to his parents room. They all went to look in the

458
00:35:53.760 --> 00:35:57.400
kitchen, but there was no one
there. Then they heard a knock.

459
00:35:57.559 --> 00:36:00.840
It was said he steel. He
was asking if everyone was okay, because

460
00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:04.960
said he's screamed woke everyone up in
the neighborhood and everyone was like, no,

461
00:36:05.000 --> 00:36:08.400
we're okay. He just thought he
saw something, and he still asked

462
00:36:08.400 --> 00:36:13.440
again, like, are you sure, because it smells like someone's hair got

463
00:36:13.480 --> 00:36:19.519
burned in here, Like there's a
burned smell in every single room. After

464
00:36:19.960 --> 00:36:22.719
yeah, after this night, it
got so bad neighbors were smelling it too,

465
00:36:22.800 --> 00:36:27.679
from when they passed by their house. What the hell? Yeah,

466
00:36:27.719 --> 00:36:31.440
horrible, and then said He's sister
kept getting worse. She was only sleeping

467
00:36:31.519 --> 00:36:35.960
two hours every single night. She
was just not feeling well. She was

468
00:36:36.000 --> 00:36:40.440
fatigued. They started noticing that she
her demeanor was changing at school, so

469
00:36:40.480 --> 00:36:44.159
they took her to a doctor,
but then they were referred to like a

470
00:36:44.199 --> 00:36:47.360
specialist. They couldn't afford it.
Every time they returned from a doctor's visit,

471
00:36:47.840 --> 00:36:52.400
Labruca was there at her door with
her door open, just like looking

472
00:36:52.440 --> 00:36:58.519
at them. Yeah. One day, Labruca asked how she's Like, OK,

473
00:36:59.519 --> 00:37:02.559
how's the girl all doing? She's
stick and Saidco's mom was like yeah.

474
00:37:02.719 --> 00:37:07.960
So while Setiko's mom was answering,
his sister like went inside the house,

475
00:37:07.559 --> 00:37:15.880
ran inside, and then Labrua said
twice and this freaked out Saidko's mom.

476
00:37:15.960 --> 00:37:19.239
She was like, uh no,
she will not be going in there

477
00:37:19.280 --> 00:37:22.519
with you because she also heard all
the stories and it just creeped her out.

478
00:37:22.679 --> 00:37:25.239
And even if she didn't hear all
those stories, don't let your kid

479
00:37:25.320 --> 00:37:30.360
go into somebody's home so you don't
know. Yeah, So she grabbed her

480
00:37:30.440 --> 00:37:35.039
daughter ran home. When they got
home and they opened the door to the

481
00:37:35.079 --> 00:37:39.679
house, it sounded like someone was
running inside, like someone ran to Saidco's

482
00:37:39.760 --> 00:37:43.800
room specifically, and then they didn't
hear anything else. They just heard the

483
00:37:43.840 --> 00:37:46.320
footsteps head into his room. But
no one else was home, so they

484
00:37:46.320 --> 00:37:51.000
were like, what the hell,
And they waited for the dad and said

485
00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:52.960
he had to get home after that
because they're like, we're not going in

486
00:37:52.960 --> 00:37:57.480
here by ourselves. So when they
all went inside, Saidiko's room was a

487
00:37:57.480 --> 00:38:00.639
mess, like a tornado went through
it. He didn't do it. It

488
00:38:00.679 --> 00:38:02.880
wasn't like that, So he says, I don't know. He's a teen.

489
00:38:04.159 --> 00:38:07.280
He's a teen boys, so yeah, but he claims that it was

490
00:38:07.480 --> 00:38:12.039
not like that and it was only
his room. So that night they all

491
00:38:12.079 --> 00:38:19.920
slept in the same room. They
made room for seco so and this night

492
00:38:20.719 --> 00:38:23.440
everyone had a rough time, so
Seiko didn't sleep until two. He kept

493
00:38:23.480 --> 00:38:28.480
hearing like someone was scratching at the
window, like trying to be let in.

494
00:38:29.239 --> 00:38:31.920
Seiko's mom heard it too, the
scratching. She thought she was dreaming,

495
00:38:32.039 --> 00:38:37.079
and she thought that in her dream
she beckoned like like not her head,

496
00:38:37.159 --> 00:38:42.199
giving whatever this was permission to enter. Oh no, yes, And

497
00:38:42.320 --> 00:38:45.559
she thought this was a dream.
She thought she did this in her dream.

498
00:38:45.760 --> 00:38:50.000
She didn't realize that she was she
actually did it. She actually beckoned

499
00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:54.679
for whatever was out there to come
inside. Sadiko's dad he was leaping in

500
00:38:54.679 --> 00:38:58.519
front of the door this night,
so not on the bed. He's like,

501
00:38:58.599 --> 00:39:02.519
nothing's getting past me. I'm in
the door, which is such a

502
00:39:02.599 --> 00:39:08.920
like like a dad thing to do. Didn't work. No, So around

503
00:39:08.960 --> 00:39:15.039
three he accidentally fell asleep and in
his dream. And he still doesn't know

504
00:39:15.159 --> 00:39:17.280
this was in his dream or in
real life, like everyone has tried to

505
00:39:17.320 --> 00:39:22.760
convince him that it was a dream. But he was paralyzed. He could

506
00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:27.039
not move, and he heard footsteps, the same footsteps they've been hearing this

507
00:39:27.079 --> 00:39:30.559
whole time in the kitchen, the
same ones that Setko had heard when he

508
00:39:30.599 --> 00:39:35.159
got up and went to the kitchen
and saw the burned man. Those were

509
00:39:35.199 --> 00:39:37.960
like they're creepy, but they're familiar. But then he heard a second pair

510
00:39:38.119 --> 00:39:43.760
of footsteps running after and these were
different. These sounded like high heels.

511
00:39:43.800 --> 00:39:47.400
Almost he heard a scream. Then
he could move again. He got up,

512
00:39:47.440 --> 00:39:51.519
he opened the door, went to
the kitchen, and he saw that

513
00:39:51.639 --> 00:39:57.119
same burned man that Setko had seen. But he was like sitting on the

514
00:39:57.159 --> 00:40:00.400
ground, like you know when people
put their hands up to cover them himselves,

515
00:40:00.440 --> 00:40:04.320
like blocking hits. So he was
doing that. That's what the burned

516
00:40:04.320 --> 00:40:08.039
man looked like. And then in
front of him there was like a woman

517
00:40:08.400 --> 00:40:12.960
in a black dress and he could
only see the back of her, and

518
00:40:13.000 --> 00:40:15.679
he was like, what the fuck. He ran back to the room and

519
00:40:15.679 --> 00:40:17.920
closed the door, and they put
a chair in front of the door and

520
00:40:17.920 --> 00:40:21.239
then started praying. He was like, I'm not going back out there.

521
00:40:21.559 --> 00:40:24.519
They kept hearing screams and no one
else saw this, only him. At

522
00:40:24.559 --> 00:40:28.840
some point while he was praying,
he fell asleep. He doesn't know like

523
00:40:29.239 --> 00:40:34.039
what happened. But after that night, like when everyone woke up in the

524
00:40:34.039 --> 00:40:37.480
morning, that smell, the burn
smell, was gone. They never saw

525
00:40:37.480 --> 00:40:42.719
the burned man again, said her
sister gone better. And then like not

526
00:40:42.840 --> 00:40:45.920
even shortly after that, after all
this happened, his dad got his old

527
00:40:46.000 --> 00:40:51.880
job not his old job back,
but like the similar position and what he

528
00:40:51.920 --> 00:40:54.079
was doing, like his profession.
He was able to get a job again

529
00:40:54.280 --> 00:40:59.000
and that same thing. So they
were able to move out of leavesting that

530
00:40:59.119 --> 00:41:01.920
because they were finally gonna go back
to their old income or lifestyle. Right,

531
00:41:02.039 --> 00:41:06.960
yeah and yeah, all this happened
after that night, so they were

532
00:41:06.960 --> 00:41:12.119
getting ready to move out. After
this, Seto's mom was like walking by

533
00:41:12.360 --> 00:41:17.000
and the Bruca's door was open,
and the La Bruca was standing there like

534
00:41:17.119 --> 00:41:22.760
staring at her as always, and
for some reason, Setio's mom felt compelled

535
00:41:22.960 --> 00:41:27.840
to go and thank her. She
didn't know why, she just felt like

536
00:41:27.880 --> 00:41:30.440
she needed to, and so she
went. She asked the women La Bruca

537
00:41:30.519 --> 00:41:34.559
if she could come in, and
she was like, to get it if

538
00:41:34.559 --> 00:41:38.119
you want. So she went and
signed, but instantly she was horrified because

539
00:41:38.320 --> 00:41:44.079
it looked like there was evil things
everywhere, like I don't know, I

540
00:41:44.119 --> 00:41:46.639
don't know, satanic looking things according
to her. Right, so she was

541
00:41:46.679 --> 00:41:50.960
like, no, never mind,
I have to go. She turned around

542
00:41:50.960 --> 00:41:53.599
to leave, and then La Bruca. As she turned around, La Bruca

543
00:41:53.679 --> 00:42:08.239
said to her, also in English, some people use evil forces to kill

544
00:42:08.280 --> 00:42:12.840
those that they hate, but there's
always something more evil, and there are

545
00:42:12.840 --> 00:42:17.280
things worse than death. Don't you
think that's so gross? I don't like

546
00:42:17.480 --> 00:42:22.079
it. So they moved away after
that, but said Ko's cousins, whenever

547
00:42:22.119 --> 00:42:27.480
they would visit, would tell him
or all of them, I guess about

548
00:42:28.199 --> 00:42:34.719
a They would hear a screaming man
from La Bruca's house, and some people,

549
00:42:34.880 --> 00:42:37.960
especially like on rainy dark nights,
would see the figure of a burned

550
00:42:38.039 --> 00:42:42.719
man in the window of La Bruca's
house, and he looked like he was

551
00:42:42.760 --> 00:42:50.239
trying to escape. That is I
think she helped them though. I think

552
00:42:50.320 --> 00:42:53.679
she helped them, but like it's
so like, you know, because they're

553
00:42:54.239 --> 00:42:59.480
so like essentially, this burnt man
was haunting them and I was like,

554
00:42:59.639 --> 00:43:04.400
oh, like curse them almost,
and she like removed its weird, yeah,

555
00:43:04.440 --> 00:43:07.599
and now it's in her home.
But she's like, I can deal

556
00:43:07.639 --> 00:43:10.400
with it because I'm powerful, and
he's the one trying to escape. He's

557
00:43:10.440 --> 00:43:16.719
like, oh shit, like fucked
up. He's scared. Yeah, but

558
00:43:16.800 --> 00:43:19.960
yeah, I heard this and I
was like, oh my god, looks

559
00:43:20.360 --> 00:43:23.639
such a good story. Yeah.
Yeah again, if you want to hear

560
00:43:23.679 --> 00:43:28.760
it in a much better way,
listen to it's from like four years ago.

561
00:43:29.199 --> 00:43:31.119
I will try to remember the link
everything in the show notes, including

562
00:43:31.159 --> 00:43:35.639
your stuff, but I always forget. I'm so bad at it. We

563
00:43:35.800 --> 00:43:42.480
gave what's it called the credits,
so yeah, if we're really bad at

564
00:43:42.519 --> 00:43:45.960
linking, just just google the people
we are giving credit to. If you

565
00:43:46.039 --> 00:43:50.039
message me and say, what was
that thing that you mentioned? I will

566
00:43:50.039 --> 00:43:52.360
message back and send it, but
I will now put it in the show

567
00:43:52.400 --> 00:43:54.719
notes. For some reason, I
have done this for people. They'll they'll

568
00:43:54.800 --> 00:44:00.559
message the US and ask and I'm
like, oh, yeah, here it

569
00:44:00.599 --> 00:44:05.599
is. Yeah, like everything goes
poof you guys like, yes, don't

570
00:44:05.679 --> 00:44:10.679
remember forgot that. I don't remember
to do it ever Sammy. Oh I

571
00:44:10.679 --> 00:44:14.440
also, well, did you have
anything else to say about the story?

572
00:44:14.480 --> 00:44:16.079
You know, it was just a
really good story. I really enjoyed it.

573
00:44:16.920 --> 00:44:22.880
Yeah, it's I really liked it. So someone sent me a message

574
00:44:22.920 --> 00:44:23.960
on Instagram, but I don't have
my phone because I gave it to my

575
00:44:24.000 --> 00:44:29.599
tail unfortunately, but they mentioned that
the person because you know how I think

576
00:44:29.599 --> 00:44:32.280
it was a couple of episodes again
now, but we mentioned that there was

577
00:44:32.280 --> 00:44:40.079
like a serial killer in Texas and
he was targeting gay. Yes, yes,

578
00:44:40.920 --> 00:44:45.920
he has been caught. The listener
told me, yeah, oh,

579
00:44:45.039 --> 00:44:49.320
thank goodness. Yeah, I don't
know that. I know they we're trying

580
00:44:49.360 --> 00:44:52.000
to catch well, I don't.
I don't know if they caught the one

581
00:44:52.000 --> 00:44:55.199
in Chicago, but I know that
the police of a few months ago or

582
00:44:55.239 --> 00:44:58.280
a few weeks ago, I want
to say a few months ago. I

583
00:44:58.320 --> 00:45:00.880
can't. I'm bad with time,
guys, I'm sorry, but a few

584
00:45:01.199 --> 00:45:05.079
now. I don't know if they
were telling me about Chicago or Texas.

585
00:45:05.920 --> 00:45:12.280
I know the Texas one was targeting
woman, so yeah, yeah, I

586
00:45:12.280 --> 00:45:15.920
don't. I don't know, but
I remember the one on one of the

587
00:45:15.920 --> 00:45:21.519
two was cotton, but the I
remember the one from Texas. They had

588
00:45:22.079 --> 00:45:27.480
the police had closed off and fenced
off this whole entire section and nobody was

589
00:45:27.559 --> 00:45:30.840
allowed in this like section of the
city of a city, like you couldn't

590
00:45:30.880 --> 00:45:34.920
get in, you couldn't get out. It was crazy because they were like

591
00:45:35.039 --> 00:45:37.400
they were on this guy's tail and
they were about it or girls. I

592
00:45:37.480 --> 00:45:40.880
don't. I don't know what it
was, who it was or whatever,

593
00:45:42.039 --> 00:45:45.840
like the gender of the killer,
but I mean it was probably man,

594
00:45:45.360 --> 00:45:51.599
probably most likely. But yeah,
I'm not excluding anybody because I don't know,

595
00:45:51.800 --> 00:45:54.719
and they were like on this killer's
tail, like they were about to

596
00:45:54.760 --> 00:45:58.360
catch them. They were in the
same like the police and the and the

597
00:45:58.440 --> 00:46:02.079
killer were in the same area.
So they fenced off this entire section with

598
00:46:02.159 --> 00:46:07.320
literal fences, like oh damn,
and then nobody could get in and nobody

599
00:46:07.320 --> 00:46:09.800
could get out. Like so if
you were trapped inside, you were going

600
00:46:09.840 --> 00:46:14.599
to be like investigated or whatever.
I don't know if they caught anybody,

601
00:46:14.880 --> 00:46:19.239
but I know they were the one
in Texas was targeting woman. Okay,

602
00:46:19.280 --> 00:46:23.199
well, yeah, the yeah,
the listener messaged me told me someone was

603
00:46:23.239 --> 00:46:27.159
caught one of the two that we
talked about, and I wish I had

604
00:46:27.159 --> 00:46:30.000
my phone so I could say who
it was, but I don't have it.

605
00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:32.280
It's crazy. It was like crazy. I was like, you know,

606
00:46:32.400 --> 00:46:36.960
like you you kind of feel like
serial killers or from like the eighties

607
00:46:37.320 --> 00:46:43.280
maybe nineties, but you had too
active at the same time in two different

608
00:46:43.280 --> 00:46:46.039
parts of the United States. Yeah, it's wanted to me how someone could

609
00:46:46.039 --> 00:46:49.559
be a serial killer now, like
we were talking about in the episode,

610
00:46:49.559 --> 00:46:52.920
because like we're on a constant state
of surveillance and like not even just by

611
00:46:52.920 --> 00:46:55.199
the state, but people's selfies,
people's videos. Oh yeah, like and

612
00:46:55.280 --> 00:47:00.000
then and then like everybody has a
camera now it has a ring camera.

613
00:47:01.440 --> 00:47:06.400
Yeah, which is also what It's
also wild to me is when how someone

614
00:47:06.519 --> 00:47:12.320
could like pass away and not be
found until like way later. Yeah,

615
00:47:12.599 --> 00:47:16.280
some a track runner, Olympic track
runner. Just she was pregnant, like

616
00:47:16.280 --> 00:47:22.519
thirty something weeks pregnant and she passed
away and she wasn't found until like a

617
00:47:22.519 --> 00:47:27.159
week later. That's insane to me. Yeah, it's wild. It's also

618
00:47:27.239 --> 00:47:30.800
so sad. Okay, Yeah,
I guess this brings us to the end

619
00:47:30.840 --> 00:47:37.480
of the episode because Sammy over here
keeps crying, Well, do you have

620
00:47:37.519 --> 00:47:43.880
any spooky recommendations? No? Actually
no again, I'm just I'm still reading

621
00:47:43.880 --> 00:47:47.800
The Haunting. So that's the only
speaker recommendation that I have going on right

622
00:47:47.800 --> 00:47:53.679
now. Okay, do I have? I saw that Renfield the Vampire movie

623
00:47:53.679 --> 00:47:57.960
with Nicholas Cage and Nicholas Holt.
I don't know if that's how you say

624
00:47:57.960 --> 00:48:00.679
his last name. That's on Peacock
now about it. I haven't seen it.

625
00:48:00.679 --> 00:48:04.079
It's on Peacock and I want to
watch it. And I saw that

626
00:48:04.159 --> 00:48:07.960
it was on Peacock. I'll probably
watch it. Today, Carmen said it

627
00:48:08.000 --> 00:48:12.960
was good anyway, That's what I've
been meaning to watch. Do you want

628
00:48:12.960 --> 00:48:16.000
to close this out and tell everyone
to stay spooky? Stays spooky and we'll

629
