There's so many tales of mysterious caves

the San Juan and Nayeri and Christina,

and this is a spooky stories where
every story is a real legend, listen

4
00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:27.559
Escucca at your own risk. According
to legend, decades ago, a man

5
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:32.000
lived near the hills of San Juan
Nayeri, Mexico. He was a farmer.

6
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:35.399
He took care of his land and
of the animals that kept him and

7
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:39.320
his family fed. He had his
cows over by the big hill, and

8
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:43.679
every evening he took them their dinner. He walked over to his cows like

9
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:48.159
he always had, only this time
something was off. There was one missing

10
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:53.640
cow. He canted again just to
be sure it was missing. He went

11
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:57.000
back home to grab extra food for
himself. He was ready to search for

12
00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:02.240
his cow all night if necessary.
He walked up the hill searching. He

13
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:04.840
hadn't noticed how long he walked for, but it had been a good while.

14
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:10.120
Suddenly he came across a cave.
Maybe the cow had gone in there.

15
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:14.760
He walked in and kept walking until
he came out on the other side

16
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:18.319
of the cave. When he came
out, he saw a small pueblo with

17
00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:23.000
the beautiful church. He walked down
to the town and went inside. On

18
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.599
the way in, he noticed an
orange tree and a bench. After a

19
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:30.200
few minutes, he came back out
and decided to grab a few oranges for

20
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:34.239
his wife. He made the walk
back up the cliff and into the cave.

21
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.200
When he came out on the other
side, something was wrong. There

22
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:42.079
were houses he hadn't seen before.
He passed by the grassy field his cows

23
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:46.799
should have been on, but they
weren't there. He got to his house

24
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.959
and knocked. He expected to see
his child or his wife, but instead

25
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:55.400
a young man answered, a young
man, maybe in his early twenties.

26
00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:59.400
He asked the young man, what
are you doing in my house? The

27
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:02.120
young man's stared and told him he
was crazy. That's when a woman came

28
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:07.280
to the door. She was shocked. We thought you were dead. We

29
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:10.360
searched for you, no one could
find you. He stared at them closely.

30
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:15.159
They looked like his wife and young
son, but much older. He

31
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:17.520
told them he had only been gone
overnight. He was searching for the missing

32
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:22.360
cow and went through a cave.
He looked through his pockets For proof that

33
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:25.080
it hadn't been that long, he
could show them the oranges he had picked

34
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:29.400
outside of that church in the town, but when he pulled them out of

35
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:32.080
his pocket, they had turned to
gold. The man never found his cow,

36
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:38.360
and instead he found that years and
years had passed. How much time

37
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:42.759
had he missed? How could this
have happened to him? Legend tells that

38
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:46.759
every twenty fourth of June, the
entrance to that very cave on the hills

39
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:51.800
of San Juan Nyaie opens itself.
Just past the cave, there's a small

40
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:55.000
town with the gorgeous church. Those
who enter the cave are trapped for twenty

41
00:02:55.000 --> 00:03:00.560
five years, but they don't notice. They don't age the friends and family

42
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:14.360
they left behind do. Spooky Stories
