00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:22.800
Oh great, another cult. No, it's another cult. It's an exorcism.

5
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:26.960
Oh okay, those are great.
Also, this one not so much.

6
00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:33.439
It's terrible. I'll give the appropriate
trigger warnies after our listeners story.

00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:37.000

13
00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:57.320
This was a phone call. There
was two stories that were both short,

14
00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:00.359
but I wanted to separate them.
So there's no like goodbye in this one

15
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:04.000
because it cut off and then she
called again to leave the second voicemail.

16
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:07.319
Oh okay, so that's where she
says goodbye, So she didn't just hang

17
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:10.280
up. There was a properly goodbye, but it's going to be in the

18
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:11.599
next one, all right, So
our listener story, are you ready to

19
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:17.120
pressed to it? Yeah? I
am good afternoon from Jnver, Colorado.

20
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:22.519
My name is chat up that If
and I love your guys this show it's

21
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:29.159
so relatable. Let me start off
with my story. As almost every Mexican

22
00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:36.200
family we would go every winter Caravani
to Mexico be officed and one house,

23
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:42.040
so maybe up to four family in
one household, so that meant a family

24
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:46.120
to a room. So I was
there in a room with my dad,

25
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:51.680
my stepmom, and my two younger
siblings, a brother and a sister.

26
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:57.079
With Christmas time, everybody drinking partying. So I went to bed. But

27
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:01.120
in the night, which I thought
was a night, I felt something jump

28
00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:06.280
on the bed and it started choking
me. But when I opened my eyes

29
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:10.639
it was my sister, but he
had like a cheating face. I didn't

30
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:15.560
really move when I didn't manage to
that kind of like kissed her with my

31
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:20.199
foot and she went flying on the
floor. So when that happened, all

32
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:23.840
the lights turned on and I thought
it woke up. Maybe I wasn't sleeping.

33
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:29.599
But when my pet mon chest.
It was my little sister, and

34
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:32.960
she was crying on the floor saying
that I had crushed her off the bed.

35
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:38.800
I know, so scary and since
that point, believe me, I

36
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:44.759
have not ever sat with my sister
or wanted to be alone with her in

37
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:51.000
a room. And this was over
It's funny. Uh wow, oh my

38
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:59.680
god, I don't I don't know, like a demon like for bow,

39
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:06.639
it could have been that in her
own like sleeperhouse's nightmare. She registered her

40
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:09.039
sister. But why was she on
top of her? Yeah, that's the

41
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:13.800
weird part, because her sister says
she was climbing into bed like crying.

42
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:15.240
She kicked me. I was just
climbing into bed. But then it's like,

43
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:17.800
why was she on top of you
choking you? Yeah, with a

44
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:23.439
demon face. That's that's concerning exactly. Yeah, Like it sounds like,

45
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:24.840
I mean, I guess if she
was sleeping next to her, and then

46
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:28.080
her dream she thought she was on
top of her, so then she kicked

47
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:30.159
her. She could still kick her
out of bed she's next to her.

48
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:36.360
Yeah, yeah, still terrifying.
I don't blame you, Chata for not

49
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:40.759
wanting to be with her sister,
even twenty two years later same same like,

50
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:46.400
how do you even Oh, that's
that's scary. It's you know,

51
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:50.000
it would have been less scary if
the sister just woke up and she hadn't

52
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:52.960
fallen off the bed, like if
she was just like hare, are you

53
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:57.639
okay? But it's more terrifying that
she kicked a demon like off of her

54
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:02.400
and then her sister was unlike Flory
crying like that's scary. I wonder if

55
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:05.639
she like asked her like, hey, what were you doing? That's a

56
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:09.479
good question. Let us know if
you've ever asked her like, what were

57
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:12.919
you doing? What if she really
was like on top of her choking her,

58
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:15.680
yeah, because I mean there's a
reason she doesn't feel still now comfortable

59
00:04:15.720 --> 00:04:19.680
with her Yeah, she's a demon. Both things would be terrifying. Yeah,

60
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:25.680
man, speaking of demons. Today
we are we are talking about a

61
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:32.279
possession this and I will give a
trigger warning for child abuse, child sexual

62
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:38.279
abuse, and murder. Hm.
Wow great. Yeah, I'm sorry,

63
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:41.279
Carmen, but you listener, you
can skip this if you want. Carmen

64
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:46.680
can't. So, so this is
the Exorcism of Rosa Fernandez Gonsalves. Oh,

65
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:50.319
okay, and I know we focus
on Latin America. But you know

66
00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:56.160
what, when it's convenient to me, I also claim the term Hispanic and

67
00:04:56.279 --> 00:05:00.439
so so she's from Spain. Yes, yes, this case is from Spain.

68
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:03.519
So today we're Hispanic. Don't be
her Panic, be Hispanic. I

69
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:06.360
forgot, it doesn't matter. I
might have said it wrong, but that's

70
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:13.399
what we are today. We are
Hispanic. This is a truly tragic case.

71
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:17.560
You know, exorcism movies and like
stories, fictional stories or like stories

72
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:21.680
that don't end in murder that have
to do with exorcisms I think are super

73
00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:26.560
scary and entertaining, but like sadly, in the real world, in real

74
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:30.680
life, most exorcisms that take place
end up in murder. M hmm.

75
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:35.399
They're not as fun. Yeah,
it's like murder, murder justified by religion.

76
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:40.120
M hmm. So yeah, that's
what this is. This takes place

77
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:45.399
during the nineteen hundreds in Almanza,
Spain. This town it's known for it's

78
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:47.800
a wine. It's in Spain's wine
region. I guess that's a thing.

79
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:53.040
Okay, okay, I love me
some wine. Maybe I'll make it to

80
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:56.560
it. Spania. Yeah, I
thought it was almost a Spania. I

81
00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:59.360
don't know how to do a Spanish
accident. I'm sorry. I was gonna

82
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:01.279
keep going and I was like stop, I know, I feel you.

83
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:06.000
Almansa also has a rich history.
The town has been around since like the

84
00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:12.759
fourteenth century. The name apparently is
derived from an Arabic word that I can't

85
00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:15.920
read, but the word means halfway
of the road, okay, And it

86
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:19.560
dates back to the Roman Empire,
like during the times of the Roman Empire.

87
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:23.439
Wow. And you know, for
the longest time it was known as

88
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:30.519
a peaceful, quiet TOURISTI town wine
castles, at least until the case that

89
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:36.519
it's either known as the exorcism of
Drossefernandez Gonsalves or the exorcism of Almansa,

90
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:42.399
And so again, this is horrible. Eleven year old Rose Fernandez Gonsalves,

91
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:46.879
called Rosie by her loved ones,
was born on April twenty second, nineteen

92
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:53.000
seventy nine. She was an only
child. Her parents were Rosa Gonsalves Frito

93
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:57.439
and Jesus Fernandez Pina. Oh.
And also, I'm going to refer to

94
00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:03.079
eleven year old Drosa as just because
there's a lot of names in this case,

95
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:09.079
and her mom is Rosa so Rosa
Senior, Senora Rossa. She's gonna

96
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:14.199
be Rosa. Okay, yes,
eleven year old Rosa is Rosie Rosi for

97
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:17.319
the rest of this episode. Yes, so Rosa. She was a well

98
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:24.199
known Kurandera in Almansa, and apparently
Almansa itself the town is like very very

99
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:30.120
heavy into spiritual healers, Curandero's magic, you know, rukeria type things like

100
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:34.160
they're known for that. And Rosa
was one of many Guranderas. So they

101
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:41.319
didn't get the memo from the physic. Oh the Spanish Inquisition, Yeah,

102
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:44.279
yeah, I guess they didn't get
the memo from then. Apparently the Spanish

103
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:47.839
Inquisition was fucking around everywhere else except
Spain. I don't know it infazed them.

104
00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:51.800
Should be told. I don't know
what the Spanish Inquisition was doing in

105
00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:57.480
Spain, like if they had their
own things going on there, clearly not

106
00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:01.720
nothing there in that specif. I
don't know about anywhere else. But right,

107
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.720
so, I'm sure you know this, but in many many cultures that

108
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:11.680
do practice healing, spiritual healing,
the healer is not supposed to take money.

109
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:15.040
Everything's supposed to be donations because it's
not supposed to be about the money.

110
00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:16.480
Oh, actually, you didn't know
that. Oh you didn't know that.

111
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:20.639
Yeah, yeah, it's a thing. There's a town in the Philippines,

112
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:22.240
or actually not a town, a
whole island in the philippin is called

113
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:28.279
Sikiyor Island, and the island is
known for its witchcraft and they have like

114
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:31.480
a yearly festival with a sorcerer.
I mean, the proper word is not

115
00:08:31.559 --> 00:08:35.519
sorcerer. I think I heard about
this, yeah, horror story. I

116
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:39.240
worked on an episode that's where I
heard it from. Yes, yes,

117
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:43.159
and it's an excellent episode. I'm
a little biased, but it is good

118
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:46.360
and that in that research, I
learned that the whole town, like the

119
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:50.799
healers, they don't take money.
It's all donations. So yeah, it's

120
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:54.559
a thing. Androsam she was no
exception. She quote unquote was not in

121
00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:58.799
it for the money, but she
was making so much money houseway through donation.

122
00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:05.000
Oh right, okay, donations,
Yeah, donations. She was very

123
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:09.360
sought out for her Kuran derismo,
like she was one of the most popular

124
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:11.120
healers in this town. Sorry,
this might be dumb of me to say

125
00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:16.200
I didn't know there was gournandos in
Spain because I thought they were hell Catholic,

126
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:20.519
So that's where my mind is.
Well, that's the thing. To

127
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:26.519
me. Catholicism is very intertwined with
spiritualism and kuran derismo. There's almost no

128
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:31.600
separating the two. But I thought
the gudan deismo came from like indigenous traditions

129
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:37.200
and then it kind of like just
melded here in like Mexico, Latin America,

130
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:41.000
but Spain itself. I just didn't
think it would be like that because

131
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:43.080
you know what I mean. No, I did think that too, but

132
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:48.080
this this town is also like I
mean, sorry, I'm like trailing or

133
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:52.720
mingling my thought. Spain is very
superstitious. That's where the grapes come from,

134
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:56.279
like the twelve grapes at Yeah,
that's true. Maybe it just so

135
00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:01.279
it's always been a thing and I
just didn't realize. Yeah, but I

136
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:05.399
also didn't know how much some towns
believed in gurandrismo. Yeah as well,

137
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:09.080
like what you were saying, Like
I did believe that was only like a

138
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:13.080
thing in Latin America. Yeah,
but no, it's huge in Almansa.

139
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:15.679
And so Drosa claimed to not be
in it for the money, but she

140
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:18.120
was making a bunch of money doing
this, so much that her husband,

141
00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:22.720
who was a shoemaker, quit to
help her because she just had so many

142
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:26.240
clients. You quit the shoemaking business, Yeah, he did, he did.

143
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:31.320
And apparently she was trained by some
other big known healer in this area

144
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:35.399
called Enrique el Vienna, and she
was given the title Sister of the Light

145
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:41.159
and yeah, that name sounds a
little cul tea, yeah it does.

146
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:46.000
And their house was filled with people
looking for her help every day. She

147
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:50.039
truly believed that she had these powers
and that these powers ran in the family.

148
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:54.080
So she convinced her sister Anna to
help with the business, to become

149
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:58.120
a healer with her, because she
believed that, or it's believed at least

150
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:01.559
in what she learned or how she
was try that curanderos that worked in pairs

151
00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:05.440
were stronger, and especially if they
were like family. I mean that makes

152
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:09.159
sense. Yeah, yeah, because
they also say, like alone, the

153
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:13.559
gift of like the supernatural scene and
things like that, it runs in the

154
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:18.799
family. There's lines of brujas,
right, so yeah, that makes sense.

155
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:22.720
And also on top of her sister
Anna, she also convinced her,

156
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:28.360
not convinced, but her neighbor Maria
Achiles Rodriguez ESPINIYEP, she brought her onto

157
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:31.480
the business as well. They were
very close. They alleged they might have

158
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:37.080
had like a romantic relationship as well. Ew that was a little secret.

159
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:43.200
Okay, okay, Miss Santa Garian
right. Rosa's neighbor Maria, brought on

160
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:48.080
her sister Mercedes to the business.
So the four of them had their healing

161
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:52.759
group together, Okay, And I
mean like everything was normal, you know,

162
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:56.080
the business was good until it's always
in it until dunt, dun,

163
00:11:56.200 --> 00:12:00.960
dun. This is where you insert
the inverted picture. And they were happy

164
00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:05.480
until they weren't the picture and then
it either zooms in or out and then

165
00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:09.320
their eyes turned red or black.
Yeah. So, on September fifteenth,

166
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:16.440
nineteen ninety, Rosa and her sister
went out for dinner with Maria and Mercedes.

167
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:18.799
While they were eating dinner, Rosa
told the group that she wasn't feeling

168
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:24.440
good, and so the four headed
back to Rosa's house. The events that

169
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:30.480
followed is what would result in the
exorcism of eleven year old Rosie. Just

170
00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:33.720
poor Rosie. What did she She
didn't ask for this, she didn't know.

171
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:37.120
It's facking terrible. I don't know
why I'm laughing. It's uncomfortable.

172
00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:43.440
So the Spanish news would refer to
the following four days as la ortia satanika

173
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:50.279
as an orgy, the satanic orgy
ya okay, yeah, that's what they

174
00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:54.600
called it. So the four women
took hallucinogenic drugs or plants that it's not

175
00:12:54.799 --> 00:13:00.200
like confirmed what they took first,
and then like Rosa and Maria who had

176
00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:05.600
the relationship, hooked up and they
welcomed Anna and Mercedist to watch, okay.

177
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:11.039
And then the next morning, Drosa
and Maria went to collect leaves from

178
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:15.720
a plant called bellennio. Do you
know anything about this plant? Because I

179
00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:18.679
didn't, I had to look it
up. No, okay, Well it's

180
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:22.399
a poisonous plant, okay, yes. In English, it's called henbane and

181
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:26.519
it's part of the night shade family. Okay, I've heard of night shade.

182
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:28.799
Yeah. Then you're like, oh, I don't want to mess with

183
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:31.919
that. Yeah, and I don't
think I've heard good things about night shade.

184
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:35.960
No, me neither. But this
plant is native to Europe and the

185
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:43.879
physical and psychological reaction to henbane includes
loss of muscular control, dilation of the

186
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:50.960
pupils, heart palpitations, hallucinations,
sturillium and enlarge doses coma and death.

187
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:54.240
So okay, yeah, not good. It also has medicinal purposes, like

188
00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:58.639
if you extract something from it,
then you can use it as an analgesic.

189
00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:01.480
Oh okay, okay, yeah for
pain, so it's not all bad.

190
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:05.159
But if you take it then it
becomes a hallucinogenic drug that can also

191
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:09.320
have a whole lot of other symptoms. So that's what they went to go

192
00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:13.080
look for. They came back to
the house, and when they came back,

193
00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:16.039
Anna, Rosa's sister, she was
scared. She was afraid. She

194
00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:22.600
didn't want to take ill I just
realized, so she watched Anna watched her

195
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:26.200
sister. Hey, I don't know, I don't know. Yeah, I

196
00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:30.399
would have thrown up. Hey,
Like at first I was like, hey,

197
00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:35.159
whatever you do you but now it's
incestuous. I mean it was already

198
00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:37.360
incestrious, but I just realized it
was incestuous. And so now I'm like

199
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:41.240
ready to throw up. Also,
like that's disturbing. Yeah, yeah,

200
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:50.200
because she had Anna and me cousin
mer is. Anna is Rosa's sister,

201
00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:58.320
Yes, and then Maria is Rosa's
neighbor slash lover and Mercedes is Maria's sister,

202
00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:03.159
so each of them are sisters.
There's oh no, no, no,

203
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:09.440
no, yes, yeah yeah,
so yeah, already disturbing, and

204
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:13.399
it just gets that's like the lightest
thing here. So Anna was afraid.

205
00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:16.000
She went home, and then at
some point everyone went home. Then on

206
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:22.799
September sixteenth, nineteen ninety, the
next day, Drosa calls her neighbor Maria,

207
00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:26.679
asking her to come over. So
Madia grabbed her kids and went over,

208
00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:30.879
and when she got there, Drosa
told Maria that the spirit of Maria's

209
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:35.639
evil husband, Martine, was possessing
her and trying to hurt her, hurting

210
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:39.559
Maria. No, Drossa, it's
confusing. I was confused. Okay,

211
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:43.879
yeah, So the spirit of Maria's
evil husband was trying to hurt Maria,

212
00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:48.879
yes, yes, yes, And
so Drosa needed to perform in exorcism on

213
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:54.399
her because she was being possessed,
and then somehow also needed to perform this

214
00:15:54.559 --> 00:16:00.799
exorcism on Maria's children naked. I
mean that a reasonable conclusion you made,

215
00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:07.919
yeah, I think so. So
this exorcism grew more and more violent and

216
00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:11.720
disturbing. At some point, Drosa
put her fingers down Maria's children's mouths to

217
00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:15.480
make them vomit, and it was
so much it was to the point that

218
00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:19.600
they were bleeding and vomiting. Oh
my god, that's how aggressive. It

219
00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:26.559
was terrible, and she would have
continued this if it wasn't for Maria's evil

220
00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:29.279
husband, Matty. I don't actually
know if he was evil, I doubt

221
00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:33.799
it. But if it wasn't for
her husband, who barged in demanding for

222
00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:37.480
Maria and the kids to come home. So he took the kids from Drosa,

223
00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:42.000
I mean that sounds controlling. I'm
just kidding. Hey, if you

224
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:45.840
don't let your kids participate in a
terrible exorcism, it's a little controlling.

225
00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:52.320
So he demanded that Maria also come
home, but Maria refused, so he

226
00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:55.519
grabbed the kids and left. Good. Yeah, yeah, at least he

227
00:16:55.879 --> 00:16:59.159
saved his his children. Yeah,
who knows what would have happened to them

228
00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:02.080
if she kept going no one had
put a stop to it. I believe

229
00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:04.079
that they would have been killed,
honestly. Yeah. So, a little

230
00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:08.240
bit later, after he leaves with
the kids and Rossan Maria still in Rosa's

231
00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:12.559
house. Mercedis, Maria's sister,
arrives at the house, she finds Maria

232
00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:17.519
and Rosa in bed together. I
was already I was going to say bed

233
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:21.680
before you said it, but I
didn't stay it in time. Okay,

234
00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:23.160
well, yeah, you would have
guessed, right. And they told her

235
00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:27.599
that they were Jesus and Law and
Maria. Okay, so they were all

236
00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:33.240
playing, but to the delusional level. Yeah yeah, yeah yes. And

237
00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:40.039
then Hesus, Rosa's husband, and
Rossi's father. He also up at some

238
00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:45.880
point got home and came across also
like a strange sight them in bed.

239
00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:48.759
He saw them, No, no, he saw Rosa performing in exorcism on

240
00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:52.400
Maria, and he was worried about
what he saw. It must have looked

241
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:55.960
horrendous. I don't know. They
looked like they were in bad shape,

242
00:17:56.519 --> 00:18:00.720
is what he said. And he
called Anna, then his own sister Hosepha

243
00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:06.160
to come over and help. So
when Anna and Hosepha arrived, they watched

244
00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:12.480
as Maria screamed as Rosa performed the
exorcism. These rituals that were part of

245
00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:15.880
the exorcism, which is not I
mean, they're they're making it up,

246
00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:19.079
not like official obviously, Okay.
I was wondering, like where are they

247
00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:25.119
getting their like exorcism rules? From
like guidelines, policies and procedures, like

248
00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:29.079
where's that coming from? Right?
They come from the from the Catholic Church?

249
00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:32.400
Were they even Catholic? Am I
just assuming they're Catholic because they're from

250
00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:34.240
Spain? Yeah? Yeah, I
don't. It never says, but I

251
00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:37.160
would. I would assume that too, or I would have. So these

252
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:42.440
rituals involve sticky needles in voodoo dolls, throwing things around the room, throwing

253
00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:48.079
books, breaking things, and pin
on the floor. Okay the fuck?

254
00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:55.000
Yeah, yeah, and more of
this continued on to the seventeenth. So

255
00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:59.319
it's been what two days of this? It started on the yeah, right,

256
00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:03.160
three, it's a total of three
days, okay, because one was

257
00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:06.839
an orgy, not an exorcism,
yes, yes, okay, sixteen seventeen

258
00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:10.319
eighteen, So yeah, I started
on the sixteenth. Okay, So now

259
00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:14.759
it's midnight on the eighteenth, right, And at this point, dross and

260
00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:19.119
Maria had locked themselves in a room, leaving Drossa's husband to take care of

261
00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:25.599
Rosie in the house. And so
at midnight on the eighteenth, Mercedis returned.

262
00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:27.640
She had apparently got home at some
point, and she came back to

263
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:33.519
continue the so called exorcism. So
Rosa's husband then decided to check on them,

264
00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:37.599
and he found them naked and covered
in vomit and urine. What the

265
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:45.839
fuck? Ude? Oh man?
And how did he not smell that before?

266
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:48.599
Maybe that's why he checked on them. I don't know. I couldn't

267
00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:51.880
say either, but like that's just
so disturbing. I don't know, I

268
00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:56.119
don't know, extremely disturbing. Yes, And when he opened the doors to

269
00:19:56.279 --> 00:19:59.799
check on them, the so at
this point, at this point, it

270
00:19:59.880 --> 00:20:03.720
is just Mercedes, Maria and Rosa. Okay, and me can remind me

271
00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:07.079
who merceaid? This is again,
mer this is Maria's sister, okay,

272
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:11.359
okay, okay, okay. So
that then when he opened the door to

273
00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:15.079
check on them, they started hitting
him, and so he closed the door

274
00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:18.480
again, what the fuck? Okay? And then Maria got her period she

275
00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:25.079
started bleeding, and so Drosa interpreted
this as a sign of demonic possession,

276
00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:29.319
and she began hitting and kicking Maria, and then Maria, probably in an

277
00:20:29.359 --> 00:20:33.160
attempt to save herself, said that
she wasn't possessed anymore and that this evil

278
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:38.839
spirit was actually now possessing Rosie.
Oh my god. Yeah. So then

279
00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:44.440
Rosa orders Mercedes and Maria to bring
Rosie to her, and they do,

280
00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:48.240
and I don't know where her father
was, Okay, I was about to

281
00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:52.720
ask, because if he saw how
fucked up they were, why would he

282
00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:56.359
allow them to take her? That's
just wild. Yeah, maybe he wasn't

283
00:20:56.400 --> 00:20:59.000
there, but where would he be
if his wife was acting like that?

284
00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:03.160
Like or he just let them take
her? Yeah, that too, Yeah,

285
00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:06.839
which I think is what happened,
honestly. So yeah, they take

286
00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:11.559
her into the room and then all
three of them begin to beat Rosie.

287
00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:15.799
What the fuck? And this this
is the worst part of the episode,

288
00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:19.240
so probably if you don't want to
hear the details of how terrible this goes,

289
00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:23.960
skip like maybe five minutes or so. So they start beating Rosie,

290
00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:29.279
all three of them, in order
to expel the demon Rosa's husband. Here's

291
00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:33.079
the screaming and crying, and now
he barges in again. I don't know

292
00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:36.039
where he was before. Maybe he
was in the bathroom, I don't know,

293
00:21:36.519 --> 00:21:38.000
I don't know. Yeah, when
he opened the door, then the

294
00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:42.480
three women begin to beat him,
push him out of the room, and

295
00:21:42.599 --> 00:21:45.079
lock the door. I just feel
like he could have fought harder. I

296
00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:49.240
don't know. But I've refused to
believe that he couldn't just punch them,

297
00:21:49.400 --> 00:21:55.480
Like, come on, I don't
think I don't think they could overpower him,

298
00:21:55.640 --> 00:21:57.119
But I don't know what they look
like. I don't know. Yeah,

299
00:21:57.200 --> 00:22:00.359
we're presuming here they could have overpowered
him, you know, I mean

300
00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:03.720
I guess they did. They must
have. They they must have, right,

301
00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:07.839
Yeah, but like like Maria's husband
went over there and took his three

302
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:14.160
children, but they weren't in such
a frenzied state. Yeah, so I

303
00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:17.039
don't know, he could have been
scared whatever. I don't know. They

304
00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:21.160
overpowered him, let's just say that, and locked him out. Drosa then

305
00:22:21.279 --> 00:22:26.000
claimed that Rosie was pregnant with the
Devil's child. Are you serious? M

306
00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:32.359
hm? And so then Marianne Mercedes
held Rosie down while Drosa put her hand

307
00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:36.839
in her daughter to try and pull
out the fetus. What the fuck is

308
00:22:36.880 --> 00:22:41.279
wrong with these people? I'm not
going to go into detail at any point.

309
00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:47.960
You could have just not what the
fuck? It's it's horrifying, it

310
00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:55.599
it really is. So Drosa pulls
out Rosie's uterus and intestines. You could

311
00:22:55.680 --> 00:22:59.640
do that. Yeah, it happened. Oh my god, it happened.

312
00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:03.960
Yeah, okay, and where was
the dad because obviously that would have been

313
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:10.039
a reaction so strong that anybody could
hear, extremely painful. Yeah, and

314
00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:12.079
you would have known it was from
pain and you would have had to step

315
00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:15.720
in, Like where was he?
Right, I'm luderine, I don't know.

316
00:23:17.880 --> 00:23:22.599
So he after this happens, he
broke down the door and Anna was

317
00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:26.759
with him. At this point,
they called emergency services. I don't know

318
00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:30.720
what the number is for NAEM one
one. Police and an ambulance they called,

319
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:33.519
and the screams coming from the house
were so loud neighbors could hear it.

320
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:37.119
I just feel like at any point, even neighbors could have been like,

321
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:40.759
what the fuck is going on?
Let's all band together, even the

322
00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:45.839
first time when he had tried to
step in that first time, Like,

323
00:23:47.319 --> 00:23:48.839
yeah, if he stepped in because
he heard the screams, yeah, that

324
00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:53.720
means like neighbors probably heard it also. Yeah, so before police and ambulance

325
00:23:53.799 --> 00:23:57.759
could arrive, when Anna and his
who's barged in, the three women like

326
00:23:59.039 --> 00:24:02.559
looked up and so, oh,
we can revive little Rosie, but we

327
00:24:02.680 --> 00:24:07.480
need Anna's eyes. So then they
like started attacking Anna. This just gets

328
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:12.759
worse. So right now, so
Rosie is hurt whatever, probably just laying

329
00:24:12.839 --> 00:24:17.119
there right uh huh. So then
they're like, we can revive her with

330
00:24:17.319 --> 00:24:21.119
Anna's eyes. And then the only
saying other sane person here is the dad,

331
00:24:21.480 --> 00:24:26.960
yes, who couldn't overpower them in
the beginning to help Rosie his daughter?

332
00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:32.200
Yeah, yeah, okay, yikes, I am already feeling bad for

333
00:24:32.480 --> 00:24:37.440
Anna's eyes. It's terrible. So
they, you know, jump on her,

334
00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:41.039
start like beating her, start trying
to clowd her eyes. But she

335
00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:45.039
manages to escape somehow. I don't
know. Okay, if she could escape,

336
00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:48.759
why couldn't his suits overpower them earlier? I don't know. Again,

337
00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:52.240
it doesn't make sense to me.
I don't know. I don't know.

338
00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:56.920
Yeah, I don't know. By
then, ambulance arrived and police Rosie was

339
00:24:56.960 --> 00:25:02.559
no longer alive. Oh. By
the time dambulance arrived Rosa Maria Mercedes and

340
00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:07.240
Hesusannana. They were all arrested at
the same time, but charges towards Anna

341
00:25:07.359 --> 00:25:11.559
and Hessu's were dropped pretty quickly.
The autopsy revealed that Rosie, of course,

342
00:25:11.640 --> 00:25:15.519
had never been pregnant, dull because
you know how she said she was

343
00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:19.759
pregnant with Yeah, she said she
was pregnant with the Satan's child, right,

344
00:25:21.839 --> 00:25:26.200
and that when Rosa pulled Rosie's intestines
out, it caused her to go

345
00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:33.599
into hypovolemic shock and that is how
she died. That's what the cause of

346
00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:37.960
death was. And it was revealed
that she only had her liver and stomach

347
00:25:37.079 --> 00:25:41.400
left. My god, I guess
Rosa had pulled everything else out. What

348
00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:48.039
the fuck? Yeah, it's it's
truly disturbing. And so hesusan Anna served

349
00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:52.039
as witnesses in the trial against Rosa, Maria, and Mercedes. Their trial

350
00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:56.880
was held on January twenty second,
nineteen ninety two. So two years later,

351
00:25:56.119 --> 00:26:02.720
the three women were acquitted on the
grounds of insanity. Okay, I

352
00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:07.359
could see that. I truly believe
they were not in the in the they

353
00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:11.559
didn't know what they were doing,
I don't think. Yeah, I think

354
00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:15.680
just from the sound of it,
it was just a complete state of delusion

355
00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:21.920
and you know what else because that
was so violent, But uh, a

356
00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:25.319
complete acquittal. And I don't know
what they were doing between those two years.

357
00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:30.200
I mean, they need help.
Yeah, yeah, they were apparently

358
00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:33.880
at a psychiatric hospital, it seems, okay, or something like that,

359
00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:38.920
like in some type of facility.
They were diagnosed with acute psychotic state with

360
00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:45.079
mental derangement and were sent to a
psychiatric facility a little bit longer. So

361
00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:48.039
they were acquitted, but they were
still sent to Okay, back to the

362
00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:52.799
facility in said ruling. So I'm
gonna read the ruling, Okay, So

363
00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:59.359
instead ruling, the defendants Rosa Gonsalves
Frito were acquitted of the crime of patricide

364
00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:03.319
and injuries. Maria Los Angeles Rorie
S Espinia was acquitted of the crime of

365
00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:07.079
murder and injuries, as the court
understands that in both defendants there is a

366
00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:11.680
complete defense of criminal responsibility for mental
insanity. As for the third defendant,

367
00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:18.200
Maria Mercedes Rodriguez Espinia, she's acquitted
of the crime of murder as her direct

368
00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:22.799
participation has not been proven in the
facts. She's also acquitted of the crime

369
00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:27.200
of injuries due to the defense of
temporary mental disorder. So that was like

370
00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:30.440
a really fancy way of saying what
I said. Yeah, yeah, I

371
00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:32.920
just wanted to sound fancy for a
little bit, like a lawyer, you

372
00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:36.480
know, or like a judge or
like a jury member roup because they have

373
00:27:36.640 --> 00:27:41.200
like the lead jury person read the
charges, so the foreman an urban jury.

374
00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:44.839
I skipped it once and I thought
I was time to jail. Yeah,

375
00:27:44.920 --> 00:27:47.799
this is when I didn't know I
had ADHD and I forgot to go.

376
00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:53.400
That should have been aside. Yeah. So all three women were released

377
00:27:53.440 --> 00:27:57.119
after a few years of being at
the psychiatric hospital. I couldn't find exactly

378
00:27:57.200 --> 00:28:03.960
how long. Maria moved to Valencia
after her release, and Mercedes moved to

379
00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:08.240
Vayado lead ba yad lead. Yes, I never know if I'm saying that

380
00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:11.519
city right city in Spain. But
Rosa, I don't know where she moved

381
00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:15.920
to. But she never returned to
Almanza. Her neighbors said that they would

382
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:21.279
kill her if they saw her.
Oh my god, I don't know why

383
00:28:21.279 --> 00:28:23.680
I'm laughing. It's terrible. It's
terrible. Yeah, it's not terrible.

384
00:28:25.240 --> 00:28:30.839
And she did do some interviews after
her release with some Spanish channels, and

385
00:28:32.079 --> 00:28:36.200
there was one interview I watched of
hers where she claims she has already paid

386
00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:41.160
for what she did through her sentence, she has already served her time at

387
00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:45.480
the psychiatric facility, and that she
just wishes to be left alone and in

388
00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:48.960
peace. That every three or four
years, there's a new show that comes

389
00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:52.799
out to cover what happened that day, what she did, and that she

390
00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:56.880
has to relive that every time it
happens, and she understands that this is

391
00:28:56.920 --> 00:29:00.960
how she has to live now.
But it's not fair. She doesn't know

392
00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:03.680
what happened, why she did any
of it. She doesn't understand, and

393
00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:10.000
maybe that's her punishment and she regrets
what she did. Those are that's what

394
00:29:10.200 --> 00:29:12.960
her what she said, and I
mean, like, what can you what

395
00:29:14.039 --> 00:29:18.319
can you do? Can keep her
keep them in the siiatric facility forever?

396
00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:22.039
I mean, she's right, she
did do she did pay for her crimes.

397
00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:27.400
She spent her time in the psychiatric
constitution and if it was true insanity,

398
00:29:27.640 --> 00:29:32.039
which she was acquitted for that,
so legally it's true. She doesn't

399
00:29:32.079 --> 00:29:36.319
know. So yeah, yeah,
when when you look at comments on YouTube

400
00:29:36.400 --> 00:29:38.839
videos covering this or news articles,
there's like, oh, she should have

401
00:29:38.839 --> 00:29:42.480
gotten the death sentence, she should
be killed, she shouldn't be alive anymore.

402
00:29:44.759 --> 00:29:48.000
But like, none of these women
had an abusive history by all cowns.

403
00:29:48.119 --> 00:29:53.279
They love their children. Yeah,
and on this day they happened to

404
00:29:53.839 --> 00:29:57.319
take a bunch of hallucingenic drugs.
I don't know why, because there was

405
00:29:57.400 --> 00:30:03.519
even no stories of them having done
this before, except they use these plants

406
00:30:03.559 --> 00:30:07.400
and things like that in their healing
services. Yeah, but there was no

407
00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:11.799
history of them whatsoever acting like this, like truly to me as I mean

408
00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:18.039
bad as it sounds like, I
don't she already has to live in hell

409
00:30:18.119 --> 00:30:21.240
knowing what she did, what she
did, and that she no longer has

410
00:30:21.319 --> 00:30:25.039
her daughter or her husband, yeah, or her husband, yeah, because

411
00:30:25.240 --> 00:30:27.400
who's gonna stay with I mean,
like you have to be so strong to

412
00:30:27.519 --> 00:30:33.079
stay with someone after that, and
I would not who. I don't think

413
00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:37.079
anyone would honestly, No, I
don't know who. Yeah, yeah,

414
00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:41.039
And so I don't know, like
what else is there left to do?

415
00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:45.240
You can't just throw go around killing
people. And yeah, honestly, I

416
00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:49.480
think that they did have true,
true temporary insanity because none of them had

417
00:30:49.559 --> 00:30:52.640
like a history. Yeah, I
mean, nothing else really explains it.

418
00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:56.759
I mean they were acquitted. Yeah, it's just it's just a horrible,

419
00:30:56.799 --> 00:31:00.799
horrible thing where the poor little Rose. Yeah, it's you know, the

420
00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:06.720
real true victim here, and these
women have to live with what they did,

421
00:31:07.640 --> 00:31:10.279
and like, I don't know what
else there is to do, because

422
00:31:10.400 --> 00:31:12.799
I don't think killing them is fair
either. No, And it doesn't take

423
00:31:12.839 --> 00:31:18.880
away it doesn't bring Rosie back,
It doesn't take anyone's pain away. Yeah,

424
00:31:18.279 --> 00:31:22.519
the death sentence in general, I
don't know most people. A lot

425
00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:25.359
of people are against it, A
lot of people are for it, yeah,

426
00:31:25.559 --> 00:31:29.640
but most places don't have it.
Yeah, and there's a reason.

427
00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:33.799
Yeah. And I mean the case
it shook the town like to its core.

428
00:31:34.200 --> 00:31:38.880
Yeah, it's I mean it's so
violent, and newspapers release headlines like

429
00:31:40.119 --> 00:31:44.440
girl killed in Satanic ritual. But
mmmm, this girl was killed in a

430
00:31:44.559 --> 00:31:48.960
religious ritual that was not real.
I mean it's an exorcism. That's not

431
00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:52.240
a Satanic ritual, right, it's
like the opposite of that. No,

432
00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:56.599
it's a satanic in the sense that
they're driving Satan out. Yeah. I

433
00:31:56.680 --> 00:32:00.200
mean, it's just it's just wild
to think what drive someone to that.

434
00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:04.759
I mean, we kind of said
it was insanity, but like how and

435
00:32:04.880 --> 00:32:07.559
why? And I guess we don't
have answers for that. Yeah. I

436
00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:10.839
was gonna say the worst thing is
that we will never have answers because they

437
00:32:10.920 --> 00:32:15.400
don't even know because it was temporary
insanity, Like, yeah, all they

438
00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:19.440
can do is like blame the drugs. But yeah, like it's just horrible.

439
00:32:19.720 --> 00:32:22.039
It's horrible. I didn't even go
like if you want to go into

440
00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:25.880
the detail of how this poor girl
like truly died. Because I didn't go

441
00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:30.880
into details, I almost threw up. I don't see why you would want

442
00:32:30.920 --> 00:32:32.359
to do that. Yeah, no, but just look, you can just

443
00:32:32.400 --> 00:32:39.000
look it up by what the name
exorcism of Mansa or the extorcism of Roervice,

444
00:32:39.160 --> 00:32:44.319
and you can see how it all, like how her intestines and everything

445
00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:46.599
was pulled out. It's like truly
gruesome. But yeah, it's just like

446
00:32:46.680 --> 00:32:52.119
in the end, nobody, nobody, there's no justice except they served their

447
00:32:52.200 --> 00:32:55.480
time. But still it doesn't I
don't know, it just feels it just

448
00:32:55.559 --> 00:32:59.200
feels little. I mean, but
what would justice look like? No,

449
00:32:59.400 --> 00:33:00.599
yeah, that's what I was gonna
say again because I already said it,

450
00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:04.799
like they served their time. Yeah, and so yeah, I'm not gonna

451
00:33:04.839 --> 00:33:07.559
keep repeating the same thing. But
yeah, it's just it's just horrible that

452
00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:12.079
the things that happened in the name
of exorcisms really or in the name of

453
00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:16.440
religion. Oh yeah, yeah,
truly horrible. Yeah, that was horrible.

454
00:33:16.519 --> 00:33:21.559
We need a pellet cleanser. This
this brings us to the end of

455
00:33:21.640 --> 00:33:24.160
the episode, and I'm sorry to
put everyone through that. Yeah, that

456
00:33:24.319 --> 00:33:29.079
was disturbing. It's a truly disturbing
case. But any what, I expect

457
00:33:29.160 --> 00:33:30.759
our most, our worst cases to
come out of Spain. I was gonna

458
00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:35.559
say it wasn't there the last time
you talked about in extorcism. Wasn't there

459
00:33:35.640 --> 00:33:37.680
one in Spain? Also? Yeah, but it wasn't as bad as this.

460
00:33:38.559 --> 00:33:42.759
It was. Okay, this is
yeah, this is bad. What

461
00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:45.720
that movie Veronica is based on.
That's what we covered last time we did

462
00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:49.640
something out of Spain. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, but yeah this

463
00:33:49.799 --> 00:33:53.240
one. Oh I'm traumatized. Mm
hmmm same. Maybe I'll look for a

464
00:33:53.359 --> 00:33:58.519
friendlier not friendlier, but like a
nicer ghost story next episode. It's been

465
00:33:58.720 --> 00:34:01.400
it's been terrible. Okay, how
their case. I'm sorry. Everyone.

00:35:30.639 --> 00:35:36.800
we go, do you have any
spooky recommendations? Nope, I'm still I've

483
00:35:36.800 --> 00:35:40.679
been watching Supernatural and married off for
site. Oh you're back to Supernatural?

484
00:35:42.039 --> 00:35:44.440
Yeah, that's what I put on
when it's just me at the house and

485
00:35:44.519 --> 00:35:47.800
I'm not like doing anything. And
then I've been watching Married he for site.

486
00:35:47.920 --> 00:35:52.440
I think season sixteen with my husband. Nice. Nice. I actually

487
00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:55.679
do have a speaky recommendation today.
Ooh you know me. You know I

488
00:35:55.719 --> 00:36:00.880
love zombies, and it takes me
a while to find like a zombie movie

489
00:36:00.920 --> 00:36:05.360
that I'm entertained by. Usually I
just rewatch all of Us Are Dead or

490
00:36:05.880 --> 00:36:07.360
doat of the Dead, or yeah, all of Us are Dead is so

491
00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:10.000
good. I thought there was gonna
be a season two. Yeah, what

492
00:36:10.119 --> 00:36:13.320
happened with that? I thought there
was gonna be a season two? Also,

493
00:36:13.719 --> 00:36:15.639
Yeah, very upsetting that it's not
out there. Yeah. And then

494
00:36:15.639 --> 00:36:17.719
they were like, we're gonna make
an American version, and I'm like,

495
00:36:17.800 --> 00:36:22.079
no, just give me season two
of the same thing. I don't want

496
00:36:22.079 --> 00:36:24.440
an American version. It won't be
as good. Probably, yeah, no,

497
00:36:24.639 --> 00:36:28.760
probably not. But I found a
movie. It's called Valley of the

498
00:36:28.880 --> 00:36:32.239
Dead. It's on Netflix. It's
from Spain. Oh, speaking of Spain.

499
00:36:34.280 --> 00:36:37.079
Yeah, speaking of Spain. Yes, Valley of the Dead. It's

500
00:36:37.119 --> 00:36:44.000
set during World War Two and there's
the you know Spain was fast fastest during

501
00:36:44.400 --> 00:36:49.280
Yes, World War two. And
so it's two soldiers from the Fastest like

502
00:36:49.480 --> 00:36:53.400
Army, Fastest Spain Army met up
with the anarchists and they have to unite

503
00:36:53.480 --> 00:36:58.360
forces to fight the zombies. Wow, it's good. The acting is,

504
00:36:58.360 --> 00:37:00.000
because that's the other issue with a
lot of bombie movies that are just like

505
00:37:00.159 --> 00:37:05.000
random that I find the acting is
horrendous because they're like B movies or C

506
00:37:05.199 --> 00:37:08.480
movies whatever they call them exactly.
But this one the acting good. It

507
00:37:08.559 --> 00:37:12.679
has little fuddy moments, but it
also has you know, creepy See.

508
00:37:12.880 --> 00:37:15.880
That's what I like scary movies that
the people don't take themselves too seriously because

509
00:37:15.880 --> 00:37:19.440
in real life, yes you're scared, but sometimes you can't help but laugh

510
00:37:19.480 --> 00:37:22.639
at those situations that you're finding yourself
in. Yeah, there's one scene where

511
00:37:22.679 --> 00:37:27.400
they're like they're walking, there's zombies
ahead of them. They're like in one

512
00:37:27.400 --> 00:37:29.679
spot trying to figure out what they
do. And then two of the guys,

513
00:37:29.719 --> 00:37:31.639
because they're guys, like their soldiers, their men, they start arguing

514
00:37:31.719 --> 00:37:37.119
and one of the guys is like
something about how he I don't know,

515
00:37:37.199 --> 00:37:38.760
you know, how people have a
comeback with it's like, oh, yeah,

516
00:37:38.840 --> 00:37:42.719
well I fucked your mom. Yeah, but the guy says, well,

517
00:37:42.719 --> 00:37:45.400
I fucked your dad, and then
the other guy's like, are you

518
00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:51.119
gay? And so yeah, little
more like people have like real human life

519
00:37:51.159 --> 00:37:55.639
moments like that in the middle of
a zombie apucalypse, right, So yeah,

520
00:37:55.920 --> 00:38:00.760
and good zombie kills because there's those
are always fun too, And yeah,

521
00:38:00.760 --> 00:38:04.400
I mean it's in Spanish, so
if you don't speak Spanish, you

522
00:38:04.440 --> 00:38:06.639
could do it with subtitles. But
yeah, I thought it was fun.

523
00:38:07.599 --> 00:38:12.079
I like it better because I also
a while ago I ran across a movie

524
00:38:12.679 --> 00:38:20.440
set during the Mexican Revolution that these
revolutionaries stumble upon like an acienda and there's

525
00:38:20.519 --> 00:38:25.159
these sisters living in this sciena and
then the reason that there are still standing

526
00:38:25.320 --> 00:38:30.920
is because they have like their own
herd of zombies. Oh they can resiscitate.

527
00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:32.960
In that movie, it took a
while to get good, but I

528
00:38:34.119 --> 00:38:37.400
was like, I'm gonna give this
a real shot because it's a Mexican movie

529
00:38:37.719 --> 00:38:42.239
and in zombies, and I mean
I like both of those things, and

530
00:38:42.360 --> 00:38:44.480
so that one. At first,
I was like, oh, when is

531
00:38:44.519 --> 00:38:46.000
this going to start? But when
it starts, it starts, you know,

532
00:38:46.519 --> 00:38:50.159
Oh, okay, something stayed too
long. I don't like that either.

533
00:38:50.639 --> 00:38:52.039
Yeah, it took too long,
but this one value is dead.

534
00:38:52.480 --> 00:38:57.079
No, it was good from the
beginning, so yeah, I recommend it.

535
00:38:57.199 --> 00:38:59.239
It was good. I'm gonna check
that out. You should, you

536
00:38:59.280 --> 00:39:01.960
should, but yeah, I guess
Now this does bring us to the end

537
00:39:02.000 --> 00:39:07.920
of the episode. Yeah, our
new book club. We still have to

538
00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:12.920
record the episode because I'm giving people
a chance to reply with their answers if

539
00:39:12.920 --> 00:39:15.239
they want to, so we'll probably
record that next weekend at the time recording,

540
00:39:15.360 --> 00:39:21.239
But the next book club book will
be The Vampires of Enorte, which

541
00:39:21.280 --> 00:39:24.159
I'm so excited for. I'm excited. Yeah, I've read only good things

542
00:39:24.159 --> 00:39:28.719
about it, I mean, but
I also ignore a lot of bad reviews.

543
00:39:29.079 --> 00:39:31.280
I haven't heard anything about it.
Actually, I haven't seen people put

544
00:39:31.760 --> 00:39:36.639
like post reviews or anything. I
add things on too good Reads, like

545
00:39:36.760 --> 00:39:39.280
want to read or read, so
that's when I come across like ratings and

546
00:39:39.320 --> 00:39:43.280
stuff. But like I said,
I ignore bad reviews. Anyway, I'm

547
00:39:43.320 --> 00:39:47.280
sure I'm gonna like it. Like
I'm positive I accidentally started not accidentally,

548
00:39:47.639 --> 00:39:52.519
I started reading it before I had
finished the other one. Oh I forgot

549
00:39:52.559 --> 00:39:55.039
you had it. I got to
chapter two. But like things start happening

550
00:39:57.199 --> 00:40:00.559
by the end of chapter one,
like, okay, okay, I need

551
00:40:00.639 --> 00:40:04.559
to order it. I think I
was designed between the audiobook and the physical

552
00:40:04.599 --> 00:40:08.320
book because the last one, and
I listened to the audiobook first and then

553
00:40:08.360 --> 00:40:13.239
I read it, and I like
both. So but I can't just keep

554
00:40:13.239 --> 00:40:15.360
buying both. I know, I
think the same thing because I like to

555
00:40:15.480 --> 00:40:20.000
have the physical one to go back
for when I write out the plot.

556
00:40:20.639 --> 00:40:22.800
But then I don't want to buy
both, you know, like you just

557
00:40:22.960 --> 00:40:28.199
said, yeah, it's a struggle. No, the audiobook is just as

558
00:40:28.239 --> 00:40:31.480
good as the first one. It
seems they have like two different like voice

559
00:40:31.519 --> 00:40:37.039
actors just like so it's like similar
where it's like from two a different point,

560
00:40:37.239 --> 00:40:39.199
like a guy and a girl.
Oh yeah, I think so that's

561
00:40:39.239 --> 00:40:42.440
what it seemed like. I'm pretty
sure. I don't. I could be

562
00:40:42.599 --> 00:40:45.119
remembered remembering wrong, but I'm almost
certain. I mean, we'll find out,

563
00:40:45.159 --> 00:40:47.440
because we're going to start reading it. But also don't quote me,

564
00:40:49.119 --> 00:40:52.559
but also we'll find out. Yes, so yeah, again that was Vampires

565
00:40:52.599 --> 00:40:54.320
of It Northen. And I'll also
send an email out to let people know.

566
00:40:54.559 --> 00:40:59.679
I'm also posting the book club questions
and like what book we're reading?

567
00:40:59.760 --> 00:41:04.199
Next on Patreon, in the free
version so that everyone can look at it,

568
00:41:04.239 --> 00:41:07.280
because you can join Patreon as a
free member, and then you only

569
00:41:07.320 --> 00:41:09.719
have access to things that I make
free, and I'm making the book clubs

570
00:41:09.840 --> 00:41:15.039
a free So you can either subscribe
to the book club newsletter on subsec,

571
00:41:15.119 --> 00:41:16.559
which the link is in the show
notes, or you can do it through

572
00:41:16.599 --> 00:41:20.800
Patreon, whatever's easier, because you
can join Patreon as a free member,

573
00:41:20.920 --> 00:41:22.960
and then while you're there, maybe
you change your mind, maybe you join,

574
00:41:23.159 --> 00:41:28.239
maybe you upgrade to the three dollars
tier or the eight dollar tier where

575
00:41:28.280 --> 00:41:30.559
you get bonus stories or a fancy
keychain in the eight dollar tier. That

576
00:41:30.599 --> 00:41:35.119
reminds me actually, speaking of Patreon. We'll see how feasible this is because

577
00:41:35.159 --> 00:41:37.360
you know time and we have issue
scheduling. But i do want to start

578
00:41:37.440 --> 00:41:43.000
doing a series on Patreon where I

American history topics that you knew nothing

583
00:42:00.599 --> 00:42:02.599
about, maybe had heard about here
and there, and just would like to

00:42:02.679 --> 00:42:08.960
learn more about Latin American history topics
about like civil wars, stories of resistance,

585
00:42:10.039 --> 00:42:15.239
power, community, sometimes bad stuff
like racism, dictatorships, corruption,

00:42:15.840 --> 00:42:21.039
US intervention, regime change, that
kind of stuff. Then yeah, Chikaisoda

00:42:30.119 --> 00:42:36.840
new segment with that chronically online and

So yeah, thank you again Carmen

593
00:42:50.519 --> 00:42:55.039
for joining me today and everyone else
I don't know. Don't take that plant

594
00:42:55.199 --> 00:43:00.760
we mentioned in the episode and go
perform exorcisms. Don't do that. If

595
00:43:00.760 --> 00:43:04.400
you think someone's possessed, they're not. Just end it right there, send

596
00:43:04.480 --> 00:43:07.719
them to a doctor. Just get
those thoughts out of your head because it's

597
00:43:07.760 --> 00:43:10.360
not true except for our listener story, because that was a demon for sure.

598
00:43:10.440 --> 00:43:15.039
Not no there is some listener stories
we received that I'm like, Okay,

599
00:43:15.719 --> 00:43:20.679
I know I've been skeptical of possessions, but that sounds like a possession.

600
00:43:21.159 --> 00:43:24.760
Send them to the Catholic priests asap. Yeah, yeah, just don't

601
00:43:24.800 --> 00:43:29.599
do it yourself is what we're saying. I guess. Basically, no DIY

602
00:43:29.800 --> 00:43:35.880
extorcisms. Thank you. That's it, No dey extorcisms. Stay spooky,
