we do a Tarot reading to help us
4
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:17.280
gain some insight on the topic as
we share the facts of the case and
5
00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:23.280
our interpretations. You can find our
episodes featuring true stories from infamous cases such
6
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:28.120
as the Misdeeds of Boeing, as
well as lesser known true crime cases like

00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:33.039
the murders in Tunnel thirteen, as
well as our spooky stories from Pike Place

00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:37.640

00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:47.600

00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:52.039
and this is MJ. And this
is another episode of A Spooky Tale's a
11
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:56.960
podcast for all things as spooky.
And we're dying today. We're tired.
12
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:03.359
I haven't had enough coffee. I
haven't I've had zero coffee. How are
13
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:07.319
you alive? Oh? Yummy?
Yum me? Okay, yeah. So
14
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:10.560
it's like it was like, am
I gonna have coffee? Am I gonna
15
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:14.599
have a Chumplera? And I was
like, tumple, I'll be tired,
16
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:19.879
but it's fine. It's where it's
it delicious. I haven't had any today.
17
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:25.079
We are doing your ownA stories.
I changed mine last time. Okay,
18
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:27.719
okay, I guess yeah, yeah, I originally was going to do
19
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:32.359
this long like our phone call that
I found that it was like this creepy
20
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:34.799
ass phone call from someone to like
a radio station that was not surprisingly not
21
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:42.760
that man. But then I couldn't
understand her half the time because I sped
22
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:45.840
it up to like one point seventy
five speed. But then she was I
23
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:49.879
guess she was already talking fast.
She's like a fast talker, so when
24
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:52.599
I sped it up that much,
then I could not understand her. But
25
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:55.680
then when I went back to the
host, they talked too slow for me
26
00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:57.879
at the normal speed. So I
don't want to keep switching back and forth.
27
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:04.599
Oh so that's why I didn't do
those notes. Yeah, yeah,
28
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:07.480
I don't know. I can't.
Some people just talked, including myself.
29
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:09.240
Some people just talked too slow for
me. But you know what's funny.
30
00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:14.479
I came across this TikTok the other
day that was like this weird ass gen
31
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:19.120
z and this is like such a
I feel like only white gen Z and
32
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:22.159
millennials do this. But you know, when they started like making TikTok of
33
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:24.960
it is about each other. Yeah, and they're both like so cringey because
34
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:30.759
like nobody does any of that.
But there was one of like this gen
35
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:32.479
Z girl and you know how they
all shake the camera when they're talking,
36
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:37.319
and then they all have the same
like speech patterns, and then they all
37
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:40.479
like touch the top of their bangs
when they're about to say something dramatic,
38
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:45.479
and so she was like, I
can't replicate that speech pattern. I don't
39
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:47.960
know how to do it. But
it's just like obnoxious and fast. It's
40
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:51.240
so fast. I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa,
41
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:55.400
Like calm down, and that's the
thing to them. It's like it's fast,
42
00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:59.639
but it's annoying fast. It's not
like like I speed up all my
43
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:04.120
podcasts and audiobooks to like one point
five or one point seven five speed,
44
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:08.039
and that's still fine to me.
But whenever I saw that TikTok video,
45
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:12.400
I was like, my god,
please, why are you recording yourself?
46
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:16.800
It's so fat? And my problem
with that is like there they always call
47
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:21.840
it the millennial pause, which we
do and I understand, like we pot
48
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:23.919
but it's like, dude, like
half of the videos from gen Z I
49
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:29.680
have to go back over and over
again because the first part gets cut off.
50
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:31.360
Yeah, well you know, and
not even all of like not all
51
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:36.639
of them, no, but like
the majority of them do. There's some
52
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:42.520
outliers. But she looked like she
was dressed from hot topic, like you
53
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:45.319
got that style from us, ma'am. Yeah, she was in like a
54
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:47.680
millennial cosplay herself. And then I
was like, we walked so you could
55
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:53.120
run. Yeah, but also it's
like they're trying to perform. I don't
56
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:55.319
know, it was strange that just
made it could be it could be a
57
00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:59.159
lot of things, but yeah,
I've noticed that with them. I'm like,
58
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:02.199
you guys can like relax, this
is this is on the internet forever.
59
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:06.080
Slow down, You're fine, You're
fine. Whatever message you're gonna get
60
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:10.159
out, it's fine. People are
gonna listen. Relax, this is that
61
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:14.039
drama class. You can like say
it and people are gonna watch anyway.
62
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:16.879
Yeah, exactly, that's what.
And then like I I I do have
63
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:20.360
like a slower speech pattern, but
I'm like, I'm not gonna rush my
64
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:24.879
speech or like rush to interject what
I have to say, yeah, and
65
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:28.199
then yeah, and then like with
with us, I'm like Halfway'm like what
66
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:32.920
does she say? Like she lost
may train of thought. Man, I'm
67
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:41.079
looking at this bright pattern on my
wall now things. Yes, but yeah,
68
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:45.759

bad anyway. Listener story, Yes,

75
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:14.480
And again my brain is just fried. I'm so tired, I'm so tired
76
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:17.639
of life. Okay, so I'm
just kidding sort of anyway, same,
77
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:30.319
Okay, start crying right now.
Would not recommend. So here's this listener
78
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:33.439
story. I wanted to start off
by saying I absolutely love your podcast and
79
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:38.720
love the random side quests. I
wanted to share a story about brucheia or
80
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:42.439
so my experience with it. A
next friend, let's call her Maria.
81
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:55.279
Interesting name choice. Mm hmmm,
that's all my das first names. My
82
00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:59.759
grandma didn't name any of her kids
Madia, amazingly like like she has.
83
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:01.839
We had like eight kids, right, Like three of them were girls and
84
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:05.240
the w restaurant boys. But none
of the three got a wow, And
85
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:10.120
I was like, yeah, that's
unheard of. This needs to be researched
86
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:15.199
by science, like how did this
happen? Yeah, so, yeah,
87
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:19.319
that's interesting. Now none of your
No, that's like weird. They're gonna
88
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:23.920
get shunned by the community now,
just kidding. Yeah, actually I'm gonna
89
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:27.920
shun you right now. I'm not. No, I feel like that's a
90
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:31.319
name that's not used anymore, like
young kids now, I don't think there's
91
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:34.800
any medias. Like when we were
there was still a ton of Marias.
92
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:38.639
Yeah, yeah, you're right,
and there was even like a lot of
93
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:42.759
Mary's. I had a few Mary's. I don't think I knew any Marys,
94
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:46.639
just medias. I think I have
said though, that I didn't meet
95
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:49.439
a white kid my own age until
we moved to Medestine to Downey. So
96
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:54.360
yeah, because we went Yeah,
we were in Oakland and yeah, just
97
00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:57.839
didn't exist. Okay, sorry,
we did it again. That's uh.
98
00:06:57.839 --> 00:06:59.839
You know, what did we say? This episode was going to be a
99
00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:02.319
me in the beginning? Like yes, like listen, I have like sleep
100
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:08.120
deprived. Christina is sleep deprived.
The world's going to shit. Yeah,
101
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:13.160
yeah, everything everything, And I'm
sure lady our previous guest is listening.
102
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:19.439
So I'm just gonna let her know
I did not take my meds. Okay.
103
00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:29.959
So, and I'm raw dogging reality
every day. I can't. Oh
104
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:34.639
my god, almost spit out my
coffee. All right, So I'm gonna
105
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:41.240
start over at Let's call her Maria. Okay, an ex friend. Let's
106
00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:44.319
call her Maria. She was a
high school friend at this point. She
107
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:46.920
was living with her boyfriend and his
family. At some point they broke up
108
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:49.000
and she had nowhere else to go, so I let her stay with me
109
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:53.519
and my husband while she got on
her feet. At the moment, I
110
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:55.959
was, oh, I see they're
not at high school at the time,
111
00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:59.360
but she was a friend from high
school. That makes more sense to me.
112
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:03.680
Okay, that's better. Yeah,
yeah, I was thinking they were
113
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:07.199
in high school and this was taking
place, So I'm like, I'm sorry
114
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:11.160
about husband. She wasn't with her
boyfriend? What is happening? What did
115
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:16.279
you guys go to? That's funny, all right. So at the moment,
116
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:20.160
I was working at a fast food
restaurant and got her a job there
117
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:24.079
and even the same shift since she
didn't have a car. Anyways, fast
118
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:26.600
forward a few weeks. The days
that she didn't work since she was part
119
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:30.240
time, she would just stay in
her room. I had made dinner for
120
00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:33.600
my husband, left it in the
microwave for when he got home from work.
121
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:35.399
Well, this time, my husband
was so fed up he called me
122
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:41.320
at work angry, yelling at me, telling me why I didn't make him
123
00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:45.879
dinner, especially if I was home
all morning and afternoon. That Maria isn't
124
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:50.399
my wife? That you are?
I guess she was making dinner for him.
125
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:52.080
As he was getting home. I
was like, what the fuck?
126
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:56.720
I made dinner and I had left
it in the microwave. I found out
127
00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:01.600
Maria was throwing the food away and
making him dinner her. Oh no,
128
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:11.279
who she is the assholes? Yes? Yes, that, oh no,
129
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:16.600
Well I would be throwing hands like
straight up like she would have been in
130
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:22.720
the streets. Do you care what
good of friends we were like, we
131
00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:26.559
about to throw hands. This is
wild. Yeah, let me continue.
132
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:31.039
There was no logical reason for her
to be doing that. I let it
133
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:35.799
go and told her if it continued, I will kick her out better than
134
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:37.320
me because she would have been out. Yeah, she would have been out,
135
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:41.879
Like, you don't get to disrespect
me. Wild. Fast forward like
136
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:45.639
another month or so, my husband
asked his friend to stop by and check
137
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:48.919
on the house since we were going
to be gone all weekend. Maria I
138
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:52.000
was going to be home, but
just to make sure. We just wanted
139
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:54.879
him to pass by and check.
He ended up staying there and him and
140
00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:01.480
him and Maria ended up hooking up
and actually getting together. Well, he
141
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:09.519
also moved in. Oh no,
what the fuck? Well, we figured,
142
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:11.039
okay, having someone live with us
to pay the rent would help us
143
00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:13.919
out a bit. This was the
first time we would be living with another
144
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:18.480
couple. Let's just say things got
worse from there. Yeah. I think
145
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:20.000
we could have seen that. Yeah. Yeah, we told him it wasn't
146
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:24.120
working out and that they had to
move out. However, with the moving
147
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:28.600
now, my husband and I were
still constantly fighting until I decided to go
148
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:33.399
with this lady who is religious and
has said God gave her the gift to
149
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:37.279
help people. In other words,
she was a kurandera type of person.
150
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:39.919
Well, she read me the cards
and told me someone was jealous of me
151
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:46.080
and was negatively impacting my marriage.
Uh yeah, fucking Maria. By the
152
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:48.840
time we had gotten to see her, we had sold our house and we
153
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:50.960
were living with my in laws.
She had met a candle with herbs and
154
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:54.080
stuff, and she just said,
just stick it in the corner of your
155
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:56.039
room or behind the door. I
was skeptical, but I was like,
156
00:10:56.120 --> 00:11:00.720
okay. Well, randomly, one
day I was taking a nap in the
157
00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:03.320
room and my husband was calling me
to come and eat since I wasn't coming
158
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:07.480
out. He said, babe,
coming eat. As he opened the door,
159
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:13.399
I sat out from the bed and
said, she's not here. Oh
160
00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:18.639
and I had bright red hair and
I laid back down. I have no
161
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:20.559
memory of this, and he doesn't
believe in the paranormal. So I freaked
162
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:24.639
him out and he left and closed
the door like that shit By honey,
163
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:30.200
you're on your own. Can you
imagine that calling someone They're like, she's
164
00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:37.159
not here. Oh no, I'll
be like wait, I just like walk
165
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:39.080
down, pretend I didn't see shit
like, just turn around. Nope,
166
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:45.679
nope, noping the hell out of
that room. Oh man, I have
167
00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:48.519
no memory of this. And he
thought I was messing with him at first,
168
00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:50.799
but then he realized that my hair
color wasn't red. It was my
169
00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:54.759
natural color, dark brown, and
I'm not the type to dyet bright colors.
170
00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:58.559
After a few weeks, I went
back and took the candle with me.
171
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:03.919
She removed the top layer and it
was completely black on the inside.
172
00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:09.720
Ew, this candle was white.
I even took some of it out just
173
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:13.679
because I was curious. My eyes
widened, and she said, no,
174
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:18.440
I have to bury this and cleanse
you. But that someone or something was
175
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:22.279
attached to me and trying to separate
my husband and I. Someone was that
176
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:26.559
jealous of my marriage and relationship.
Needless to say, after Maria and her
177
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:31.960
man moved out, I never got
in contact with them again. I wouldn't
178
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:35.600
be surprised if Maria there's some brucheria
to my husband's ex friend because they got
179
00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:41.879
married within a month of meeting each
other. Oh stop it, Oh my
180
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:48.759
god, no bad decisions right there. Mm hmm. She tried to reach
181
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:52.559
out, but I blocked her and
had no interest in having her in my
182
00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:56.120
life just some shit I don't fuck
with. Needless to say, after a
183
00:12:56.120 --> 00:13:00.200
few encounters with the paranormal and this, I made sure to close my third
184
00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:03.360
as I was very sensitive to this. I attracted a lot of negativity.
185
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:09.879
Negativity. M what did I even
say? Oh my god, I attracted
186
00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:13.240
a lot of negativity and it was
taking a toll on me. It runs
187
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:16.279
to my family. My Tiaena always
staid to use it for good, but
188
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:20.000
all of my experiences have been bad. I hope you guys enjoyed my story
189
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:24.279
with this drama and Bruchhetia all at
once. Love you guys. That was
190
00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:31.039
crazy. Yeah, stay away from
Maria. Yes, that's yeah, she
191
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:35.759
was doing something. Yeah, one
thousand percent. Her behavior is so weird.
192
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:41.840
This is not one of the good
Marias MM. I think the lesson
193
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:50.320
here is that Marias can't be trusted
except my mom and all my dias that
194
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:56.840
I'll have. The name Maria is
the first name that's funny anyway. Yeah,
195
00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:03.080
yes, I have a couple Urina
stories. Should I do one and
196
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:05.440
then you do the other, and
then I finished with mine. I feel
197
00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:13.080
like mine is just it's a whole
connect like it's technically one story in a
198
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:18.639
way, but it's all connected.
It's I mean, it's I don't even
199
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:22.960
know how to explain. It's like
multiple things things, but they're all connected.
200
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:26.759
Okay. Yeah, So I don't
know, like, oh, you
201
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:28.000
know what mine are? Short?
Should I do both of mine then?
202
00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:31.600
And then then we'll end with yours? Yeah, and then we'll do yes,
203
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:35.080
Yes, let's do that because mine
is okay. Yeah. So MJ
204
00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:37.360
you told me you had a yourna
story. So instead of doing the notes
205
00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:39.840
I was going to do as I
talked about earlier, I went and found
206
00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:46.399
two Urina stories. Oh nice,
and they're not very long. One is
207
00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:56.039
from infra mund Yes you to me? Yes, it is from youtubes and
208
00:14:56.159 --> 00:15:05.480
this video is titled MASc and so
yeah, three stories that were never told
209
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:11.879
ABOUTA and so they're just stories people
sent into infra Mundo. I can't nice.
210
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:13.960
I need to stop saying it like
that, but I can't anyway.
211
00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:18.840
So this was sent by Gabriela Arena, which doesn't sound like a real name
212
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:22.960
to me, but we're just gonna
go with it. I guess I've never
213
00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:26.840
I just never seen the last name
Marenna. Yeah, I never have either
214
00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:30.840
yeah, maybe maybe it was like
a nickname so to hide her identity.
215
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:33.879
All right, So when I was
a young girl, we always spent the
216
00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:41.360
end of November through December up to
New Year's in my mom's pueblo in Mitua
217
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:46.279
gan. Our family was there,
and all the cousins were similar ages,
218
00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:50.120
starting at eight and up to a
few of my older cousins that were teens.
219
00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:52.720
There was a whole bunch of us, almost like a little gang.
220
00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:58.639
H sounds so fun. I missed
that, like I moved away from like
221
00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:03.120
family, so now I'm just like, yeah, yeah, my kids are
222
00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:08.320
not growing up with that like whole
Like yeah, I hate yeah, but
223
00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:12.159
it sucks so hard we had to
move. Yeah, I mean, like,
224
00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:15.440
I don't think any of us are
in the same place anymore anyway,
225
00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:18.720
or if they, if there are
family that is in the same place,
226
00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:22.240
nobody talks to each other anymore because
of all the all the drama. Oh
227
00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:26.480
yeah that too, like so much
drama, especially on the loss of Willows
228
00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:33.519
person and like tell them and then
you go and see what they look like
229
00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:36.600
and you're like, yeah, I'm
dying at this. TikTok. I saw
230
00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:40.039
that was like this is this is
the ter renods that you're fighting for.
231
00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:42.080
But you know what I'm gonna I'm
gonna say it right now, like land
232
00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:48.039
is precious that yeah, although some
people just wanted to sell it and some
233
00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:51.799
people just like want it because that's
where they grew up. You know,
234
00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:56.159
different reasons, but different reasons.
Yeah, it's so tragic at the end,
235
00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:59.759
but the selfish reasons gotta go.
Yeah for sure, for sure.
236
00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:03.960
Okay, let me go back to
this. As we said today, it's
237
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:07.200
gonna be a mess. Okay,
so almost like a little king. There
238
00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:11.519
wasn't much for us to do but
play, so that's all we did.
239
00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:17.039
We played outside all day, and
the following took place during one of those
240
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:22.079
moments of play during the day plain
daytime. My cousins ran in the distance
241
00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:27.079
while another cousin and my uncle rested
against a tree trying to get some shade.
242
00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:30.759
It was November, but it was
still a little sunny with clouds in
243
00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:34.519
the sky. My uncle yelled from
the tree he was leaning on, don't
244
00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:38.200
go too far. But of course
I didn't listen, and because we were
245
00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:44.720
playing La ciscondidas hide and seek,
and I needed to win. Every terrible
246
00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:48.119
scary story starts with we were playing
hide and seek. Yeah, yeah,
247
00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:51.759
I don't know why it reminds you
that story. I think you're the one
248
00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:53.559
who said it. I will never
recover from that. You know what I'm
249
00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:57.160
talking about, right, is the
one we shared on Patreon. I think
250
00:17:57.200 --> 00:18:02.319
so where it's like a she was
like playing somewhere and somebody hold held her
251
00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:07.240
hand. Yes, yes, it
was Mexico. They were playing hide and
252
00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:11.200
seek in the neighborhood and they went
into like one of the abandoned houses or
253
00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:12.680
something like that, or even a
neighbor's house, and like I think it
254
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:17.480
was like the rooftop and he was
hiding with this girl and like the attic
255
00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:21.440
or something or something like yeah,
oh was it a basement? I don't
256
00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:23.200
remember, but it was some part
of the house and it was like dark,
257
00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:26.119
like you couldn't see inside. It
was super dark, yes, And
258
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:30.359
then he thought one of his friends
went with him, and like that she
259
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:33.519
was holding his hand when they were
hiding. And then he looks up and
260
00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:36.960
sees her down in the crowd because
everyone else has been caught except for him,
261
00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:42.960
and so he's like, who was
next to me? Who's actually let's
262
00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:47.519
take it out of side quest and
since we're already here. My mom was
263
00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:49.759
telling me last last time she was
here, I don't know, we always
264
00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:53.480
ended up talking about scaring things for
some reason. But I'm here for it
265
00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:57.839
same. Yeah, I love it. So my well, her grandparents,
266
00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:02.480
so my great grandparents used to live
in a vesin Dad. So it's like
267
00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:07.079
those apartments that I mean everyone,
I think everyone that's like Latino knows what
268
00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:10.759
a vesina is, but everyone else
may not. But it's like, uh,
269
00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:15.359
apartments that are together and there's like
a center. It's like a community.
270
00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:18.759
It's like an apartment complex, but
it's also at the same time a
271
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:22.640
community. Yeah, it's a little
different than apartment complexes here in the United
272
00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:26.960
States because they're like not they don't
go up most of the time. They
273
00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:30.039
might be two stories, but they're
longer than like then they are tall,
274
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:36.039
you know. Yeah, and there's
like a center courtyard usually. So they
275
00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:37.720
were in this vessin Dad, and
my mom said that they had to pass
276
00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:42.880
by, like my grandparents were at
the end of the vessin Dad and so
277
00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:47.079
whenever they visited, they you know, went to the gates and they had
278
00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:49.160
to walk to the bank, but
they had to go past this house that
279
00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:55.599
they people would say that there was
a lady that like would appear at that
280
00:19:56.240 --> 00:20:00.559
empty like room or house or whatever, because she passed away there apparently at
281
00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:06.279
some point, and so like nobody
wanted to walk by it, and like
282
00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:11.240
they were playing hide and seek ones
of course hide and seek, and well,
283
00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:14.000
actually, let me backtrack one a
little bit. So yeah, they
284
00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:18.200
would go back and forth, and
like my great grandma, she she had
285
00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:22.720
a moment, so she was kind
of mean. There was times where like,
286
00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:25.160
if you know, a kid was
getting on her nrves, she would
287
00:20:25.160 --> 00:20:27.079
tell them, like, you should
leave now because it's getting late, but
288
00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:30.799
watch out for the lady at the
apartment. And then she would make like
289
00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:36.119
ooh, so I just like scarer
whoever she was talking to. So there
290
00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:37.519
was a time where they were playing
hide and seek in these apartments and it
291
00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:41.640
was getting late, and I don't
know why they were playing, but my
292
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:45.200
I think it was one of my
uncles. He it's always uncles. Yeah,
293
00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:48.640
I know what possessed him to do
this, I don't know, but
294
00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:53.799
my uncle, for whatever reason,
decided to hide next to the door where
295
00:20:53.799 --> 00:21:00.839
that apartment was that they said the
lady appeared, and he was hiding and
296
00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:03.000
so everyone was like, whoever was? It was like looking for everyone.
297
00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:07.000
Right while he was hiding, he
felt like someone touched his shoulder. Oh
298
00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:14.880
no, and he fainted on the
spot and they they found him and grabbed
299
00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:17.480
him and welcome up whatever, and
he said, like what happened? And
300
00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:21.279
bye, I feel like I think
my mom's in. My great grandma was
301
00:21:21.319 --> 00:21:23.039
like, why are you even playing
hide and Seek? They're like, you
302
00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:26.559
know that the lady is there,
but yeah, something touch his shoulder.
303
00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:33.079
Oh and like nobody else was around, so yeah, I would not.
304
00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:37.160
The lesson here is don't play hide
and seek, don't be curious. Yeah.
305
00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:45.799

322
00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:10.759
for that side quest. So back
to this hide and seek game. I
323
00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:14.279
ran as far as my little legs
would take me. I knew none of
324
00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:18.319
my cousins were dared to go near
the river because there were stories of Layrna
325
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:21.880
appearing there, but it was daytime, so I didn't think it was scary.
326
00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:26.000
I ran straight to the trees right
next to that river. I could
327
00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:32.720
hear my cousins counting and saying ready
or not, here I come. I
328
00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:36.279
looked around, thinking I was going
to win. That's when I spotted a
329
00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:40.599
woman in the river. She was
crying. Her dress was dirty. She
330
00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:45.400
was saying something between her tears,
but I didn't understand her. I yelled
331
00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:48.519
out, are you okay. That's
when she went silent. She dragged her
332
00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:53.839
dirty fingertips against the rocks in the
river and just stared. I froze and
333
00:23:53.880 --> 00:23:59.759
felt the most intense fear I had
ever felt. She stood up and screamed
334
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:03.480
and glided towards me. I don't
know if that's a word, but I
335
00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:07.720
I feel like it is like floating
out. Yeah, yeah, I could
336
00:24:07.759 --> 00:24:11.000
have sworn. I felt something grabbed
my neck, but I couldn't see the
337
00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:15.319
woman anymore. I yelled my mom's
name again and again. I thought I
338
00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:18.960
was going to die. Then I
heard a familiar sound. My uncle's truck
339
00:24:19.160 --> 00:24:22.880
was speeding towards me. He was
pressing on the horn as if he was
340
00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:27.039
trying to make all the sound in
the world to scare something away. As
341
00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:30.880
the truck passed by me, my
cousins pulled me up into the bed of
342
00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:34.079
the truck and I knew I was
safe. When we got home. My
343
00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:37.799
uncle yelled at me for now listening. You shouldn't have gone that far.
344
00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:41.039
You know, Layrona has been seen
there. Why did you do this?
345
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:47.400
I think he saw her holding me. Oh no. He gave us a
346
00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:49.559
hot chocolate and fan and none of
us ever got near that part of the
347
00:24:49.640 --> 00:24:55.480
river. Again. That is scary, right. Oh, I don't like
348
00:24:55.519 --> 00:24:59.079
any of it. That she felt
her neck being grabbed, but she couldn't
349
00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:03.359
see her anymore. And then the
uncle was just like honkying and yelling.
350
00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:07.960
Oh no, I like it,
mm hmmm, all of it. It's
351
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:11.119
terrible. Yeah, I would have. I would have fainted and died right
352
00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:14.119
there, like I'm like, what
the hell is touching me? As I've
353
00:25:14.160 --> 00:25:18.920
said before, Mecaguay Memuiro, I
truly have. Yeah, she had to
354
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:25.000
my parts and passed out and died
like okay. And then my next one
355
00:25:25.799 --> 00:25:30.079
is from Mundo Creepy. Oh I
have not heard of that one. Oh
356
00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:33.599
yeah, Mundo Creepy is pretty good
on YouTube. Yeah, and they I
357
00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:37.960
think they're probably on No, they
might just be on YouTube, but it's
358
00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:45.720
it's titled Sincostorias Part four, and
this yeah again our stories that are sent
359
00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:51.359
into the channel, So this one, this was sent by A Sophia Cruz.
360
00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:55.720
In nineteen eighty two, when I
was eight, my family decided to
361
00:25:55.759 --> 00:26:00.640
move from my pueblo and Vera Cruz
to Sudad, Mexico. I was very
362
00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:03.359
sad. It was a very hard
move. We left my abulitos, my
363
00:26:03.440 --> 00:26:08.440
friends, everyone that I knew.
But I really missed my Abuilita. I
364
00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:12.240
lost my appetite and I could not
sleep. When I did sleep, I
365
00:26:12.279 --> 00:26:17.039
had terrible nightmares. I didn't tell
my parents about any of this. They
366
00:26:17.039 --> 00:26:18.920
were stressed about the move too,
and I didn't want to add to their
367
00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:23.799
stress. I began noticing these nightmares
were all very similar. I was always
368
00:26:23.799 --> 00:26:29.119
alone in my polito, the streets
were empty, and I was always looking
369
00:26:29.279 --> 00:26:33.440
for my grandma. It was this
urgent need to find her. I'd call
370
00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:37.559
her name, she was nowhere to
be seen, and I was being chased
371
00:26:37.559 --> 00:26:41.200
by something or someone, but I
could never see them. All I could
372
00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:45.079
hear was a scream in the distance. Oh, it would get closer and
373
00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:48.119
closer, until it was so close
I would wake up in tears. This
374
00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:52.160
went on for weeks. It felt
endless. The weirdest part is that the
375
00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:57.920
dreams were similar, but I knew
it was not the same dream repeating itself.
376
00:26:59.279 --> 00:27:03.920
It was more. Each night it
was an extension of the last dream.
377
00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:07.920
The nightmare picked up where the last
one left off. Oh that is
378
00:27:08.039 --> 00:27:14.279
not good, horrifying. It makes
us all way worse. Yes, And
379
00:27:14.400 --> 00:27:18.319
the last night that this happened,
it started off like it always did,
380
00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:22.160
only the night was darker and I
was in the streets again calling for my
381
00:27:22.200 --> 00:27:26.880
grandma. This time, the screams
were closer instead of starting farther away like
382
00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:33.960
always. Then something pulled me by
my shoulder and I turned around. It
383
00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:38.039
was a woman bleeding from her eyes. She screamed in my face as I
384
00:27:38.200 --> 00:27:44.279
cried. That's when my mom opened
my door, and she was crying uncontrollably.
385
00:27:44.759 --> 00:27:48.440
She told me that my grandmother had
passed away. I feel like that
386
00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:52.240
thing was warning me like an omen
hm. It reminded me of la.
387
00:27:53.240 --> 00:27:57.680
I don't think it was a coincidence. I truly believe that my Agualita would
388
00:27:57.680 --> 00:28:02.160
have lived longer if we had not
moved. I miss her every day,
389
00:28:02.319 --> 00:28:06.200
and it's been thirty eight years.
I never saw anything like that again,
390
00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:12.519
but I still wonder what it was
that is sad. It's sad and horrifying.
391
00:28:12.599 --> 00:28:17.119
Oh my god, I do not
like it. It's so much worse
392
00:28:17.160 --> 00:28:21.839
than everything, like the dreams.
Knowing it's not because you know, like
393
00:28:21.839 --> 00:28:27.160
people have reoccurring nightmare like you're falling
from the same place or your teeth are
394
00:28:27.160 --> 00:28:33.039
falling off and they're always the same, but this being like it's like the
395
00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:37.960
same night like a movie almost like
every every night she goes to bed is
396
00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:45.400
another episode that continues from the previous
one exactly exactly. That's horrifying. And
397
00:28:45.599 --> 00:28:49.160
yeah, then that thing finally reaching
her, screaming in her face, and
398
00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:55.039
then she gets the news about her
grandma, like, ugh, no,
399
00:28:55.039 --> 00:29:00.559
no, I hate it. Yeah
no, that's like that's horrible. It's
400
00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:07.960
like double the traumatic. Poor poor
girl. It's really sad. Okay,
401
00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:11.359
So, uh my, I don't
know if it's like stories are more like
402
00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:19.640
I I guess legends mine, okay, more legend ish Okay. So Laa
403
00:29:19.920 --> 00:29:27.400
is tied to see and Donancin and
is the snake woman goddess, and I
404
00:29:27.480 --> 00:29:33.640
have seen her interchangeably called Donancin,
and also I have seen that sometimes Donancin
405
00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:40.160
is the title and not a specific
deity, but like in the aspect of
406
00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:45.279
things like this whole thing, they're
interchangeable. So see se and Donancin are
407
00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:48.920
just pretty much the same thing,
just like okay, yeah, yeah,
408
00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:52.440
I've seen the same altered egos.
Maybe I don't know. I don't know
409
00:29:52.440 --> 00:30:00.279
if that's like a thing or same
name for different or different names for the
410
00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:03.880
same being. Yeah, kind of
like how like uh a, Saturn and
411
00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:07.240
Kronos are the same things for the
Greeks and the Romans. Yeah, yeah,
412
00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:10.839
okay, yeah, so I think
that's how it is. So the
413
00:30:10.920 --> 00:30:15.039
story goes into a little bit the
legends. I love it. Oh,
414
00:30:15.079 --> 00:30:18.920
I love this topic. So on
top of the hill of tepe yakak or
415
00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:23.279
Tepeyak also Depeyak means hill, So
when they say cedral or hill of Tepayak,
416
00:30:23.319 --> 00:30:29.079
they're saying hill hill. It's like
it's like chai ti or like can
417
00:30:29.119 --> 00:30:33.079
stojo cassa house or la brea tarpits. It's like you're saying the same thing
418
00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:37.559
twice or more. Yeah, it's
like, what do you say chai ti
419
00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:41.039
I means tea, it's t tire. That's what you're saying when you say
420
00:30:41.079 --> 00:30:45.400
Chai Ti, but it it's like
it always makes me laugh from like you
421
00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:49.720
guys, it's just the same thing
in two different languages. Yeah, so
422
00:30:49.920 --> 00:30:56.279
uh. Meshikas and other Nawah indigenous
people believe that on top of Tepeyak Donancien,
423
00:30:56.400 --> 00:30:57.839
the mother of the gods, would
appear, and on top of the
424
00:30:57.920 --> 00:31:03.720
hill of Tepeya Basilica, the Santa
Marie Wallalupa now stands there. That was
425
00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:08.559
a mouthful And because Donancin Lorna Levit
the wall Lupe are so intertwined with our
426
00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:11.960
origin, I included a story of
Donancin and Levitan the Wall Lupe, which
427
00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:18.599
I think also ties into the omens
brought by Lorna slash Donancin. Oh so,
428
00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:23.359
before the conquistadors colonized on top of
the Biac there was a temple dedicated
429
00:31:23.400 --> 00:31:30.240
to Donancin and she was adored by
tribes from the Anawak Empire. And this
430
00:31:30.279 --> 00:31:34.559
is all written down by Spanish friars, so it says the natives revered the
431
00:31:34.599 --> 00:31:38.799
goddess. According to testimony, she
appeared to one of them as a young
432
00:31:38.880 --> 00:31:45.079
girl in a white robe and revealed
secret things to the person Frijuan de Torque
433
00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:52.079
Mada in Monarchia, India, sixteen
fifteen. So that was part of his
434
00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:59.519
diary. So there was there was
already like this this story with the indigenous
435
00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:02.880
people of the area, that there
was a woman in white, then she
436
00:32:02.920 --> 00:32:07.720
would appear to some of them.
Uh. And so the Spanish did what
437
00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:10.319
they did and were like, that's
a nice thing you got there. It
438
00:32:10.319 --> 00:32:15.640
would be a shame if somebody took
it and they christianized Donancin. So the
439
00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:20.279
indigenous people would convert kind of like
how they took saturn Alia, the holiday
440
00:32:20.319 --> 00:32:24.000
for the Roman god Saturn Coronos,
and they were like, let's name it
441
00:32:24.119 --> 00:32:34.519
Christmas. But so here is how
Donanzin or and a little bit. There's
442
00:32:34.640 --> 00:32:38.240
a few legends, so please guys
bear with me. It's a little bit
443
00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:45.480
intertwined. The first one we'll cover
is about my God, I have such
444
00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:58.319
a hard time of the Yeah,
an aspect of and is associated with midwives
445
00:32:58.400 --> 00:33:05.599
and childbirths, and in this myth
gives birth to the god of stars and
446
00:33:05.720 --> 00:33:10.359
hunting, but abandons him as a
baby at a crossroad. She becomes Seawaka
447
00:33:10.519 --> 00:33:19.079
and haunts the crossroads, mourning for
her son and sea was sometimes depicted as
448
00:33:19.079 --> 00:33:23.000
an old woman with the skullface,
and this was because many women died a
449
00:33:23.119 --> 00:33:27.920
childbirths and they were given the same
honor as warriors, and their spirits were
450
00:33:27.960 --> 00:33:32.240
depicted as having skeletal faces. It
said that the spirits of the woman who
451
00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:37.240
died a childbirths called see what that
they all also haunt crossroads. So I
452
00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:44.400
think that that's a little bit like
of a maybe pre Hispanic legend where uh
453
00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:50.359
she cries for her son. Oh
yeah yeah. And this this next myth
454
00:33:50.400 --> 00:33:54.640
is more aligned with the stories we
hear about. So it's omen number six
455
00:33:54.799 --> 00:34:00.680
of the destruction of the Aztec Empire. It's it describes a woman who roams
456
00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:04.920
the streets crying for her children.
She however, is crying for the future
457
00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:08.360
generation of her people, as her
children will eventually be conquered and destroyed by
458
00:34:08.360 --> 00:34:14.320
the Spanish. This next story is
another version of this omen, and before
459
00:34:14.360 --> 00:34:17.199
the arrival of the Spanish, a
woman was heard crying in the Lake of
460
00:34:17.320 --> 00:34:22.280
Texcoco, saying, my beloved children
of Anawak, your destruction is next.
461
00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:30.239
The priest thought it was Siwakuat who
was prophesizing the destruction of the indigenous people
462
00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:36.920
of Mexico, and shortly after the
colonization of the Mashika, the Spanish destroyed
463
00:34:36.960 --> 00:34:42.320
the temple of tonansin on Tepeyac.
The cries and sorrows of the goddess were
464
00:34:42.320 --> 00:34:45.480
heard by the indigenous people when it
was destroyed. When it was destroyed,
465
00:34:45.679 --> 00:34:52.400
they said that they could hear a
woman crying and at the top of the
466
00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:58.519
hill like crying for her children,
who were the indigenous people, you know,
467
00:34:58.639 --> 00:35:04.920
her people who who worshiped her,
who she considered her children, and
468
00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:09.679
also crying for the destruction of their
culture, their people, and the destruction
469
00:35:09.760 --> 00:35:15.519
of her temple. So a lot
of coincidences with la you know, she
470
00:35:15.519 --> 00:35:21.360
cries for her children, she she
will, she's she's heard with this sorrow,
471
00:35:21.639 --> 00:35:24.360
you know, this huge sorrow.
And all these stories were believed to
472
00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:30.639
have been the origin of Lorna,
which then the Spanish then vilified Si slash
473
00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:35.440
donansin our mother and portrayed her as
a horrible mother who was you know,
474
00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:39.400
the made the murder of her children, when in reality they murder her children
475
00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:44.480
and that's why she cries. Yeah, as in her children being the entirety
476
00:35:44.679 --> 00:35:49.400
of the indigenous indigenous people and she's
mourning for them. She's crying, she's
477
00:35:49.400 --> 00:35:52.840
saying, my children, But it's
not because she killed them. It's because
478
00:35:52.320 --> 00:35:57.920
they were killed by the Spanish and
colonization for them. Yeah, and which
479
00:35:57.960 --> 00:36:02.960
is also goes similar to the story
that I uh I first told on here
480
00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:08.559
that I grew up with, which
is like the the woman goes to market
481
00:36:08.679 --> 00:36:13.360
and then there's these soldiers in town, but when she comes back, she
482
00:36:13.400 --> 00:36:16.159
finds out that her children were murdered
by the soldiers, and then she's so
483
00:36:16.239 --> 00:36:22.199
sad that she ends up taking her
life and then she becomes thea not because
484
00:36:22.239 --> 00:36:25.159
she killed her children, because she's
in mourning for the murders of her children
485
00:36:25.199 --> 00:36:30.440
that these soldiers did. Yeah.
So that was I I never heard of
486
00:36:30.480 --> 00:36:36.320
this, And also the connection to
how like, because I don't feel that
487
00:36:36.559 --> 00:36:43.360
we I don't think we talked about
donuts, but she an episode that we
488
00:36:43.400 --> 00:36:47.480
did a while back, not our
first episode might be like our second or
489
00:36:47.519 --> 00:36:52.480
third one. But I want to
say that I talked about see what Wait,
490
00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:58.920
sorry, I don't remember if it
was, but yeah, that was
491
00:36:58.960 --> 00:37:05.079
like the alleged apparition of La in
the Spanish codexes. Yes, and they
492
00:37:05.119 --> 00:37:08.840
called her like a demon, yes, but yeah it's And then they took
493
00:37:08.920 --> 00:37:14.480
her her image and they made the
vitan the Walla Lupe. Yes, yeah,
494
00:37:14.519 --> 00:37:19.840
which is like crazy. And I
also found out that the Wallaalupe gets
495
00:37:19.840 --> 00:37:25.440
her name from a river in Spain
called Guallalupe River. Oh and and they
496
00:37:25.559 --> 00:37:31.159
once found a statue, a dark
skinned statue of the Virgin Mary. There.
497
00:37:31.440 --> 00:37:35.920
I didn't know about the statue.
Yeah, so I didn't write this
498
00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:37.880
down, but I remember it.
So they in in Spain, in this
499
00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:43.360
area called Wallalupe River. This farmer
found this statue and it was the statue
500
00:37:43.400 --> 00:37:49.119
of the Virgin Mary. But she
was dark skinned, right, So when
501
00:37:49.519 --> 00:37:52.079
the Concussadors came to the to the
Americas, they were like, oh,
502
00:37:52.079 --> 00:37:55.639
look at their dark skinned too.
This is going to be their their their
503
00:37:55.800 --> 00:38:06.760
vetin. So they so with Donancin
and along with uh this deity, like
504
00:38:06.800 --> 00:38:10.159
this version of Mary that they found
in Walla Lupe River in Spain, they
505
00:38:10.159 --> 00:38:14.679
were like, okay, so we're
gonna name uh, We're gonna combine the
506
00:38:14.719 --> 00:38:21.320
two and give the people La Wallpe. And it worked. But she is
507
00:38:21.400 --> 00:38:24.239
like this this thing and and yeah, so that's where the name Juallalupe comes
508
00:38:24.239 --> 00:38:30.639
from which is from this uh statue
that was found in Wallalup in Spain,
509
00:38:30.679 --> 00:38:35.639
and then they combined it with Donanceine
and that's how they were able to Yeah,
510
00:38:35.679 --> 00:38:43.320
this is what you know colonizers do, is like merge existing beliefs into
511
00:38:43.840 --> 00:38:47.639
Christianity to get people to convert more
easily easily, yes, yeah, which
512
00:38:47.719 --> 00:38:52.639
is all part of you know,
genocide, to destroy someone's belief cures.
513
00:38:52.760 --> 00:39:00.760
And yeah, yeah, means I
believe river of wolves so oh well that
514
00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:05.960
is Arabic for I think water.
I could be wrong, but loope comes
515
00:39:05.960 --> 00:39:09.159
from the Latin word lupus, like
wolf. Yes, oh my god,
516
00:39:09.280 --> 00:39:14.559
I did not know that. And
there's so many words that are Arabic in
517
00:39:14.599 --> 00:39:17.039
origin when it comes to Spanish,
and I think I don't think a lot
518
00:39:17.079 --> 00:39:22.199
of people realize that. Yeah,
it's it's very Yeah, Spanish is very
519
00:39:22.199 --> 00:39:27.239
close to Arabic, very like almost
like they say rice the same, they
520
00:39:27.239 --> 00:39:30.519
say a lot of stuff almost exactly
the same. It's like the Spanish language
521
00:39:30.559 --> 00:39:36.119
is Latin mixed with Arabic. Yeah, cereal. Yeah, but wow,
522
00:39:36.280 --> 00:39:39.079
I yeah, I didn't know about
the riven all that. So we're gonna
523
00:39:39.079 --> 00:39:42.679
get a lot of heated comments because
they're gonna be like, no, not
524
00:39:42.800 --> 00:39:46.119
my veatan. Yeah, it's fine. We've already been dealing with heating comments
525
00:39:46.119 --> 00:39:51.800
the past week, so yeah,
but yeah, when we've been dealing with
526
00:39:51.840 --> 00:39:55.239
heated comments, yeah, since since
the beginning of our last episode, so
527
00:39:55.440 --> 00:40:00.840
since the beginning even before that.
Like, I feel like I feel like
528
00:40:00.920 --> 00:40:04.360
we there's like some stuff that we
say that people are like no, but
529
00:40:04.400 --> 00:40:08.360
I'm like, listen, listen.
Yeah for all, I don't know what
530
00:40:08.440 --> 00:40:21.920
to tell you. This is this
is this is what says. Yeah whatever,
531
00:40:22.679 --> 00:40:28.480
Well, anyway, do you have
any speaky recommendations? I I am
532
00:40:28.679 --> 00:40:32.480
gonna watch what is that? Uh? It's on I believe to be It's
533
00:40:32.519 --> 00:40:38.119
called the Oh my god, it's
a Japanese thriller. Oh the Audition.
534
00:40:38.440 --> 00:40:42.639
I'm gonna watch. Oh I haven't
seen that. Okay, well let me
535
00:40:42.679 --> 00:40:45.000
know how it is. I will. I have not been watching anything,
536
00:40:46.239 --> 00:40:51.880
Yeah, I haven't. Yeah,
that's the only thing that's on my what
537
00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:54.400
is it called my list? I've
been off TV. It's it's been hard.
538
00:40:54.800 --> 00:40:58.679
This past two weeks have been hard. Yeah. Yeah, I don't
539
00:40:58.679 --> 00:41:02.760
have speaky recommendations, But you want
to recommend a couple of podcast episodes from
540
00:41:02.800 --> 00:41:08.960
the Empire files for anyone that wants
to further educate themselves on Palestine. So
541
00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:15.800
they have one let's see titled Gaza
Refugee on the Gaza Genocide. The world
542
00:41:15.840 --> 00:41:20.920
gives us only body bags. So
the host, Abbi Martin, speaks with
543
00:41:21.039 --> 00:41:25.119
Mohammed he was born and raised in
Gaza. So that's one episode that's an
544
00:41:25.199 --> 00:41:31.119
excellent resource. The other one,
Emergense Broadcast Israel's Hospital Massacre and the Gaza
545
00:41:31.159 --> 00:41:37.679
Genocide. That's from October seventeenth,
the same podcast. Another one from the
546
00:41:37.679 --> 00:41:44.480
same podcast, Israeli Law comes to
the US shocking legal saga to silence pro
547
00:41:44.599 --> 00:41:49.719
Palestine speech. This one from April
fifth, twenty twenty one. Since then,
548
00:41:50.239 --> 00:41:53.679
wow, oh yeah, let me
tell you so this episode I listened
549
00:41:53.679 --> 00:42:00.639
to it. There's so Abbi Martin. She interviews a Palestinian American activist.
550
00:42:00.079 --> 00:42:05.480
Her name is Suhi Oh my gosh, I can't pronounce it, Sue Heir,
551
00:42:05.639 --> 00:42:08.480
Sue Hier. I can't say her
name. I listened, I saw
552
00:42:08.480 --> 00:42:10.960
how she said it, and I
still I'm not saying it right. She
553
00:42:12.000 --> 00:42:17.000
interviews her because she had just one
an important and shocking legal case, because
554
00:42:17.000 --> 00:42:23.679
there was an Israeli firm that tried
to punish her under Israeli law for a
555
00:42:23.719 --> 00:42:30.079
Facebook post that she made. What
and the Facebook post was just her I
556
00:42:30.119 --> 00:42:36.119
think they said something about a former
idea of soldiers. They like posted her
557
00:42:36.159 --> 00:42:38.920
picture and said something about her being
like a victim. And then the person
558
00:42:38.920 --> 00:42:43.960
that Abbi Martin interviewed like grab that
and shared it and then wrote on top
559
00:42:44.000 --> 00:42:45.679
of it, this is an idea
of soldier that did this and this and
560
00:42:45.719 --> 00:42:50.039
this. None of it was lies. It was all factual. And they
561
00:42:50.039 --> 00:42:54.639
tried to sue her, not based
on California law but Israeli law for that
562
00:42:54.719 --> 00:43:00.000
post. How was that even legal? And this brings me to my next
563
00:43:00.039 --> 00:43:05.800
topic which they mentioned in this episode. But there is thirty seven states in
564
00:43:05.840 --> 00:43:10.480
the United States that business is specifically
businesses, so it's not individuals, but
565
00:43:12.280 --> 00:43:16.360
it's illegal to boycott. I think
it's businesses that get money from the state.
566
00:43:16.599 --> 00:43:22.039
I don't think it's like any kind
of business. So if you're like
567
00:43:22.079 --> 00:43:25.039
a personal business, like a public
business, you're fine, you could boycott
568
00:43:25.119 --> 00:43:30.440
whatever you want, But if you're
getting money from the government or the state,
569
00:43:30.519 --> 00:43:34.719
you're not allowed. Like exactly,
you cannot that. A lot of
570
00:43:34.760 --> 00:43:38.039
teachers have to sign a oath to
Israel, which is like, what the
571
00:43:38.159 --> 00:43:42.559
f. Yeah, so that's what
this episode touches on that because a lot
572
00:43:42.559 --> 00:43:45.119
of people think that they started on
October seven, then it didn't. But
573
00:43:45.199 --> 00:43:50.639
that same podcast has episodes from like
two years ago talking about this. There's
574
00:43:50.639 --> 00:43:54.480
another podcast called Truanon. They also
have episodes in Palestine that are like old
575
00:43:54.599 --> 00:43:59.840
because this started in nineteen forty eight, Like this did not start on October
576
00:44:00.000 --> 00:44:04.440
seventh, So yeah, just different
episodes. Oh another one sorry, This
577
00:44:04.480 --> 00:44:08.159
one is called Dose. This podcast
Dozed with Abbi Martin, and this one
578
00:44:08.280 --> 00:44:15.280
is a she talks with a guy
named Miko Paler. He's a son of
579
00:44:15.320 --> 00:44:21.199
a famous Israeli general, and he
talks with her about the myths that Americans
580
00:44:21.199 --> 00:44:25.239
and Israelis are taught about Israel.
And then they talk about settler attacks in
581
00:44:25.320 --> 00:44:30.320
Palestine. And this is from October
twenty fifth, twenty twenty two. Oh
582
00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:36.199
my god. Yeah, So I'm
gonna link all those in the show notes
583
00:44:36.519 --> 00:44:39.320
for anyone else that wants to like
learn more. But you know, as
584
00:44:39.320 --> 00:44:45.559
we said last episode, we stand
with Palestine and like, yeah, free
585
00:44:45.599 --> 00:44:50.360
Palestine, and I will keep including
those other links we had in the show
586
00:44:50.360 --> 00:44:54.320
notes as well, and if that
makes any former listener, because like we
587
00:44:54.320 --> 00:44:59.920
got a message that was like like
y'ah two yeah, one was just like
588
00:45:00.360 --> 00:45:04.760
calling us stupid bitch it. I'm
like okay, ma'am, I'm like whatever.
589
00:45:05.119 --> 00:45:07.400
But the other one was like long
ass DM that we got. They
590
00:45:07.400 --> 00:45:10.880
were like, yeah, I've always
been listening for the beginning, whether I
591
00:45:10.920 --> 00:45:15.480
agree or not with the stand you
guys took on Israel or Palestine. I
592
00:45:15.920 --> 00:45:21.000
listened to get away from this kind
of stuff, even for just a little
593
00:45:21.039 --> 00:45:25.480
bit. And so I can't keep
listening because we because we spent too long
594
00:45:25.559 --> 00:45:29.800
talking about current affairs, because we
talked about Palestine, we talked about the
595
00:45:29.800 --> 00:45:32.719
otto me in Mexico. But it's
like, have you really been listening because
596
00:45:32.760 --> 00:45:38.480
we have always talked about this this
kind of stuff. Yeah, and considering
597
00:45:38.519 --> 00:45:42.920
the fact that a lot of legends
from Latin America stem from this kind of
598
00:45:42.920 --> 00:45:45.679
stuff, the fact that people have
like this Pikachu phase or they're like what
599
00:45:45.760 --> 00:45:50.159
They're like, yeah, where have
you been? Yeah? Where have you
600
00:45:50.239 --> 00:45:52.679
been? Like we literally had a
whole month where we only did two crime
601
00:45:52.719 --> 00:45:58.199
cases that were like state sanctioned violence
on women in Mexico. We don't need
602
00:45:58.199 --> 00:46:04.239
a patron funds to the seen and
murdered indigenous women. We talked about like
603
00:46:04.320 --> 00:46:07.920
I mean, like when you've aaldi
happened like everything. We have never not
604
00:46:07.079 --> 00:46:09.800
talked about this kind of stuff,
and it's like, what a privilege to
605
00:46:09.840 --> 00:46:15.079
get away from this kind of stuff. We're gonna bring it up. We're
606
00:46:15.079 --> 00:46:21.480
gonna mention resources when we can.
So yeah, like come on, we
607
00:46:21.559 --> 00:46:25.239
like literally talk about religiosi myths,
that's them from colonization. We are both
608
00:46:25.920 --> 00:46:30.320
Mexican, im have Salvadoran and as
we all know, both these places have
609
00:46:30.400 --> 00:46:37.639
been colonized. Both of here still
from oppression. They're still you know,
610
00:46:37.760 --> 00:46:42.159
like come on, get out of
here. And also you don't have to
611
00:46:42.199 --> 00:46:47.239
announce your departures. This isn't an
airport. Yeah, I don't understand.
612
00:46:47.239 --> 00:46:50.920
I never understood that. It's like, yeah, if you don't agree,
613
00:46:51.000 --> 00:46:54.280
if you're tired of it, listen
to other podcasts. But we have it's
614
00:46:54.320 --> 00:46:58.440
not a big it's not a big
platform, it's not a huge audience,
615
00:46:58.519 --> 00:47:01.440
but we're gonna share what we can
do what we can. So yeah,
616
00:47:01.599 --> 00:47:07.119
that is all. I have anything
else to add before we go, No,
617
00:47:07.559 --> 00:47:10.960
I just I don't know, just
hoping you guys are everyone's okay.
618
00:47:12.119 --> 00:47:16.039
I guess because I've been having a
hard time and I just hope everyone's okay.
619
00:47:16.239 --> 00:47:20.960
Just a little sending a little love
out there. Yes, yes,
620
00:47:21.519 --> 00:47:25.280
much needed, much needed for sure. And yeah, I don't know if

hangs out by this river, don't go
