00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:06.639
Hi, this is Christina, and at the time of this

2
00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:09.919
episode release, Carmen and I are on vacation mode visiting

3
00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:12.519
our grandma and the rest of our family in Mexico.

4
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:15.679
And because of that, we decided to split this episode

5
00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:18.960
into two parts. So you'll hear Carmen's paranormal portion of

6
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:21.920
the episode this week, and next week you'll hear my

7
00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:25.280
part of the episode. And after this we'll be back

8
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:29.399
to normal episodes. All right, and onto the episode. I

9
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:33.600
said episodes too many times. Hi, this is Christina and

10
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:36.719
Carmen and this is another episode of Speaky Tales podcast

11
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:39.960
for all things spooky antro crime in Latin America. And

12
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:42.159
I tried to work on my intro because Carmen only

13
00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:44.159
the patron members heard it. But Carmen was bullying me

14
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:47.320
last week. I forgot about that. Yeah, yeah, okay. On

15
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:51.880
today's episode, we have a crazy exorcism story for the

16
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:57.439
paranormal portion, and then a very sad but ends with

17
00:00:57.479 --> 00:01:02.079
someone surviving with the survivor you know. Yeah so, But

18
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:04.560

29
00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:41.840
from Venissa and we have a location Quell Lakes McDonald's

30
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:45.000
on West March Lane in Stockton. I know they sent

31
00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:47.799

00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:50.719

33
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:53.680
two o nine story. Yeah. I actually have driven by

34
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:57.239
this McDonald's, so you have. We haven't been inside. No,

35
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:00.760
why want to go to McDonald's. Yeah, I don't need

36
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:05.920
They're disgusting. There's better fast food places, you know. Yeah, okay,

37
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:11.159
to mention them feeding a genocidal right also that? Okay,

38
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:15.280
So this happened in twenty ten and twenty fifteen, so

39
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:17.960
let's get into the story. In twenty ten, I had

40
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.560
started my first job as a crew member at Quell

41
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.599
Lake's McDonald's. I was so fairly new, so my hours

42
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:26.479
were limited. The assistant manager at the time knew I

43
00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:28.919
was looking to work more hours, so when I started

44
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:30.800
at four pm, she asked me if I would be

45
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:33.560
interested in staying a few hours longer to cover a

46
00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:36.360
front lobby closing shift. She made it clear what my

47
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:40.360
responsibilities were, you know, cleaning, sweeping, mopping, not only the

48
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:43.199
dining room, but both the men and the women's restrooms.

49
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:45.759
What she didn't tell me was that the women's restroom

50
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:50.400
was haunted. But I needed the money, so it was whatever,

51
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:52.919
and I took the extended hours. It was my first

52
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:55.719
night meeting the closing crew, so I stayed cleaning the

53
00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:58.360
lobby and out of everyone's way. Ten pm and the

54
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:01.639
doors were already locked by the closing manager. I didn't

55
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:04.360
know the lights and music were on an atomatic timer,

56
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.400
so it shook me when they went off. There are

57
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:09.960
technically only three closures by the end of the night,

58
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:13.159
the drive through person, the girl person, and the manager.

59
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:15.800
Since I was a lobby person, my shift ended at midnight.

60
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:18.719
Eleven PM is around the corner and I'm ready to

61
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:21.719
clean the restrooms. As I'm walking towards the restrooms, a

62
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:24.719
loud herring scream from what sounded like a little girl

63
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:28.479
came from the women's side. I froze where I stood,

64
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:30.960
and before I could even process what I heard, it

65
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:34.960
happens again, the same little girl scream coming from the

66
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:38.120
women's restroom. I didn't move until a closer came up

67
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:39.960
to the register and asked if I was okay. I

68
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:43.159
didn't hear that. She just nonchalantly replies, what the little

69
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:48.319
girl's screaming? Yeah, she does that sometimes. Excuse me the

70
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:52.240
way I would die. I asked the closure to stay

71
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:55.560
with me to check the restrooms out, and nobody was there.

72
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:58.400
Nothing was there. It never happened again. Fast forward five

73
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:01.599
years later, a week after I had quit, I stayed

74
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:04.960
for lobby clothing, retelling this story to the closures as

75
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:08.280
they wait to clock in, since we were exchanging spooky stories.

76
00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:10.599
As soon as I finished showing the story, the sign

77
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:13.120
for the women's restroom falls and it makes a loud

78
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:16.279
sound hitting the ground. We all got We all got

79
00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:18.800
spooked out of our seats and went our separate ways.

80
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:23.160
I'll never forget it. Oh my god, no, no, that's terrifying. Also,

81
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:25.240
I love that they were just sitting there sharing scary

82
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:28.000
stories me too. Yeah, you never worked the fast food

83
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:32.600
john did you? No privileged? I'm sorry. I only worked

84
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:38.279
seasonal at Tjmax and Macy's. I was gonna say the

85
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:41.480
way you forge connections with someone in fast food because

86
00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:45.560
y'all are torrenching or trenches forging the trenches or whatever

87
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:48.639
the term is, like in the trenches. It's the real

88
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:51.519
war in America. Like, thank you for your service, fast

89
00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:55.560
food workers. That's who we should thanking all the sides. Yeah,

90
00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:58.639
that is who should be all the signs, who we

91
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:02.000
should be thinking because it is rough. Yeah, the closing

92
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:06.600
shift and restrooms traumatizing. I never had to clean the restroom.

93
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:10.160
I thought it was too good for it. But I

94
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:12.920
did do it, like twice. One time I walked into

95
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:15.040
I don't I feel like we've said this before, but

96
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:21.040
I worked at the Chicken Barn in my youth eighteen

97
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:27.079
eighteen my youth, Yeah, and the yeah, I was closing

98
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:29.279
and they were like, oh, I go clean the bathrooms.

99
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:31.839
And I went there and there was just like no,

100
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:35.759
this wasn't even closing. It was like in the afternoon. Anyway.

101
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:37.079
I went in there and there was like a shit

102
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:42.000
smeared all over the walls and I were ran out

103
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:44.120
screaming and I was like, oh my god, there's shit everywhere.

104
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:46.639
And I was like, have heaving in the middle of

105
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:50.360
the and there's too but I can be Yeah, I

106
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:53.600
was packed. It was lunch hour, that's what time. It was, oh,

107
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:56.920
between twelve and noon, and I was like in the middle.

108
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:01.519
Oh my, I was like you They were like stop

109
00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:04.160
screaming that there's like poop all over the walls. And

110
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:07.920
it was like that's everywhere. A lot just yelling and screaming,

111
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:11.199
and like so many people walked up and left. Actually,

112
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:13.879
you know what, I sometimes the Modesto some bread. It

113
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:15.879
will pop up to me and then I will click

114
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:20.680
to see what always up. And so somebody posted a

115
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:26.399
thread about the grossest restaurants in Modesto. I remember it

116
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:29.480
was kind of yes, the Chicken Barn was on it,

117
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:32.439
and so I told my husband like, how you used

118
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:33.680
to work there, right, and how we used to get

119
00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:34.959
food from there, blah bah blah, and he's like, oh,

120
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:36.360
you should try some time. I was like, actually, we

121
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:39.040
can't try it. I can't do that because it's favor

122
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:42.920
Glosses played this yeah, yep, and they had like details

123
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:46.600
about what was gross about it. Something about it was

124
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:48.759
someone who used to work there, but and more recently

125
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:51.600
than you. But I don't remember the years or when

126
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:53.680
they were there or they were still there and whatever

127
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:55.519
point is, they worked there at some point and it

128
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:59.600
was like it been about like employees not washing their hands,

129
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:05.639
like putting their hands in their butts, and hopefully I'm

130
00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:09.199
not missed remembering either way, it was grossed though. For

131
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:11.720
the record, while we had food from there, I never

132
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:14.680
saw anyone do this. Oh okay, good, Yeah, I mean

133
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:17.000
it's too late. I ate the food, you know, but

134
00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:19.959
it was years ago, you know, yeah, so long ago.

135
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:23.639
Whoever was putting their pans down their butt it wasn't

136
00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:27.079
there because I can't see it. I'm not sure. But yeah,

137
00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:29.879
it's one of the most successing places. And then raising

138
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:32.720
canes was also on there. Some people said, well, what

139
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:34.800
they said is that their chicken they got it wasn't

140
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:40.720
cooked all the way. Yeah, but nothing not washing hands. Yeah,

141
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:42.879
I don't know. I think about that sometimes I'm like,

142
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:44.360
oh my god, maybe it's just stop eating out, but

143
00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:46.959
I can't stop eating out. You know, like some people

144
00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:49.639
don't wash their hands and you can get sick. You

145
00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:53.240
can get happtitus a dysentery. What a dysentery? How the

146
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:55.680
fuck do you pronounce it? A century? No? No, wait, whatever,

147
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:58.199
second way you said it, I think sounded right. The centery.

148
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:01.000
Is that how I said it? I think so? Anyway,

149
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:04.600
that'shit spreading through Borlin right now. So I saw that?

150
00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:08.040
Where else? Did I see? I saw somewhere else outside

151
00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:11.680
of the Oregon Trail. They were saying it was from

152
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:14.600
the unhoused community because they don't have like where to

153
00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:17.839
use the bathroom, you know, or wash their hands, and yeah,

154
00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:22.079
so that makes sense. Yeah, yeah, anyway, I was gonna

155
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:25.319
add okay, sorry really quick. This story reminded me about

156
00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:27.600
how I applied to McDonald's. When I was going to

157
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:30.079
MGC and they didn't fucking hire me, and I was like,

158
00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:33.240
are you fucking serious? Oh no, same when I was

159
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:36.120
applying everywhere, no one was hiring. We were there actually

160
00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:39.919
at the open interviews together. Oh yeah, we were, yeah, competing,

161
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:44.080
they didn't well, they didn't hire either one of us. No,

162
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:46.919
I also went to open interviews. That's some grocery store

163
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:50.159
that was like American grocery store. Our friend I didn't

164
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:52.440
know the names of some vegetables and that's why they

165
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:56.039
didn't hire Wow, and he knew apparently, I don't know,

166
00:08:57.080 --> 00:08:59.120
you know, the sad thing. The only reason Chicken Barn

167
00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:04.120
hired me and so fucking disgusting to I know, I know. Yeah,

168
00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:07.480
but they were like, well, we're only look for like people.

169
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:10.559
And so the manager was trying to go about it,

170
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:13.279
avoiding saying what it really was. He's like, we try

171
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:15.559
to look for people that look good up on the

172
00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:20.879
cash register, like they're presentable, they're charismatic. And then boss,

173
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:23.080
the owner passed by and he was like, you have

174
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:25.240
to be pretty. You can't be ugly up here. And

175
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:29.279
I was like, I remember Jessica telling me about that,

176
00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:31.440
our other friend that worked there. We yeah, we worked

177
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:33.200
at together and it was so fun. I'm telling you.

178
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:36.120
We were We went through the trenches together. Yeah, that's

179
00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:41.000
real war. And I say that as a veteran. Well, famously,

180
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:44.679
you didn't go to war, so true, true, true, I

181
00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:46.639
only went. We went to go have fun and visit

182
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:55.039
all the countries in Europe. I almost deployed once. Almost.

183
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.279
Oh okay, I guess we should get into this possession.

184
00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:07.039
And that's really yes, Okay, So before we share the

185
00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:11.279
possession of Maria Pisaro. We got this information from a

186
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:14.480
scholarly I feel like I said that. We're a scholarly

187
00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:20.080
article by the Chilean historian Rene Millard Garvacco, who dedicated

188
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:23.559
his life to studying colonial times and the Inquisition in

189
00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:26.759
Chile and Peru. And honestly I stand for that. Don

190
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:29.120
went through it to give us this. Now I remember

191
00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:31.840
her time about that. Thank you, Don, Yes, thank you.

192
00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:38.200
The forty page article is called Entre Angeles Demonios Maria

193
00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:42.799
Pisaro elenki Cicion de Lima and it was posted in

194
00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:47.080
two thousand and seven. So Maria Pisaro was born in Lima, Peru,

195
00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:53.360
in fifteen fifty to Catalina Sermigno and Martin Pisaro, a

196
00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:59.960
long distance relative of the Spanish conquistado or Francisco Pisaro. Gross. Yeah, Maria.

197
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:02.039
I grew up in a big family that included four

198
00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:05.000
brothers and two sisters, but very early lost her father

199
00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:08.320
and youngest sister Anna. So Maria was raised by her

200
00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:12.200
very traditional mother, who forbade her daughters from getting an education.

201
00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:15.159
Because of this, Maria only learned how to sew and

202
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:17.799
stitch since her mother felt these were some of the

203
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:21.279
few skills are proper lady needed. Maria's mother did not

204
00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:23.240
think much of her daughter and believed she wouldn't make

205
00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:26.519
a good wife or mother. Madia's biggest hater her mom.

206
00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:31.480
Sometimes it is oh, yeah, so sad, sad, so yeah.

207
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:33.000
The mom didn't believe that she would make a good

208
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:35.519
wife for mother, so when Maria was an adolescent, she

209
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:38.559
forced Maria into a convent so she could begin her

210
00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:41.360
life as a nun. That plan never came to fruition, though,

211
00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:44.120
as Maria was quickly kicked out of the convent after

212
00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:46.919
nuns accused her of having a sharp tongue. Love that

213
00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:49.600
for her. Yeah, and she also didn't have the necessary

214
00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:51.960
skills to be a nun, according to the nuns. I

215
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:54.039
wonder what those skills are. I don't know. Maybe she

216
00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:58.120
could pestivity. I'm not sure. She couldn't read. Maybe maybe

217
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:00.519
I don't know. So why did it matter? These nouns

218
00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:03.799
thought well to put the historical period Madia lived through

219
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:07.279
into context. Madia was coming of age a few years

220
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:12.000
before the Peruvian Inquisition started. The Peruvian Inquisition, which began

221
00:12:12.039 --> 00:12:14.879
in fifteen seventy and lasted until eighteen twenty was a

222
00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:19.200
period in time where the Spanish crown gave religious leaders

223
00:12:19.320 --> 00:12:23.159
the power to accuse, gather, punish, and torture anyone who

224
00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:27.039
did not follow the Catholic doctrine. The Catholic Church also

225
00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:31.240
banned and burned any books that did not promote Catholicism.

226
00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:34.759
It was like Latin America's version, and I mean put

227
00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:38.360
on by Spain, but their version of the witch trials,

228
00:12:38.440 --> 00:12:41.960
like the famous Salem witch trials and all the witch burnings,

229
00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:45.000
like this was their version of it. Yeah. Well, it

230
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:47.919
was around this time that, at eighteen years old, Madia

231
00:12:47.960 --> 00:12:50.720
had her first and nervous breakdown or what they called

232
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:53.399
it back then, a brain spasm. I have those all

233
00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:57.639
the time. The attack lefters so weak that she was

234
00:12:57.679 --> 00:13:00.440
taken to a priest so she could confess and be

235
00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:04.600
given her last rites. They thought she was dying, which

236
00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:07.519
in Catholicism for anyone who doesn't know, is considered a

237
00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:09.919
holy sacrament a person is supposed to receive from a

238
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:12.159
priest when they're about to die. Her family took her

239
00:13:12.159 --> 00:13:14.519
to a group of priests known as the Order of

240
00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:19.840
the Dominicans, since her brother Martin himself was a Dominican Friar.

241
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:22.440
It was this group of religious followers and leaders who

242
00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:26.600
were first exposed to Madia's first demonic fits. According to

243
00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:29.679
the group of religious leaders, when trying to bless Maria,

244
00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:33.600
she began to laugh or scream randomly. The priest figured

245
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:36.960
this must be a symptom of Maria's illness, so they

246
00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:39.919
brought in a doctor who was unable to figure out

247
00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:42.240
what was wrong with the eighteen year old, which probably

248
00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:45.399
didn't do anything at that time period. Right, this reminds

249
00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:47.799
me of when I was reading Kindred and the doctor's like,

250
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:51.759
we have to what do they call it? A bloodlet? Oh? Yeah,

251
00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:56.919
let's place. Finally, the leader of the group of priests

252
00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:00.360
determined Maria must be possessed. There's no other possibility to hear,

253
00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:04.200
of course that's the only answer. Yeah. After this, Maria

254
00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:08.679
went fifteen days without eating or talking. The priest took

255
00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:13.480
this as confirmation that Maria was indeed possessed. What else

256
00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:16.840
could it mean? Right, Maria's behavior was so erratic. She

257
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:19.960
began to jump, roar, scratch her face, and move around

258
00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:22.480
the house so forcefully that her own family was unable

259
00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:24.960
to team her. Desperate for help, Maria was taken to

260
00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:28.480
the priest of San Sebastan, who was known for successfully

261
00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:32.159
performing exorcisms. At the time, possessions were an anomaly in Peru,

262
00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:35.320
so people from across the country came to view Maria,

263
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:38.039
the first woman to be possessed in Peru. So I

264
00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:40.799
guess she became like a zoo exhibit, not them making

265
00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:45.000
like a little show. Right, yeah, insane, although I guess

266
00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:47.840
to be fair, there wasn't much else to do, right,

267
00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:50.279
I mean, what do people do all day besides the work?

268
00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:53.240
There's no TikTok. But people, I heard it back then,

269
00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:55.519
they only worked like a few It's not like today,

270
00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:57.200
you know, where we had our eight hour workday. Like,

271
00:14:57.240 --> 00:14:59.200
they worked when they needed to, like whatever they need

272
00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:01.399
to get done, and then whatever. I'm assuming they had

273
00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:04.440
their nap time, because that's a tradition from Spain, which

274
00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:08.879
I wish we adopted here. Yeah, and yeah that was

275
00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:10.960
only for the lean of for the lowly workers, which

276
00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:13.840
we would have fallen under. Oh they didn't have naps.

277
00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:16.799
I'm assuming that they've there's always been a class of

278
00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:20.120
people that have been forced to work. Yeah, well yeah,

279
00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:22.120
and so they don't get naps. I just thought they would.

280
00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:24.960
I thought everything closed down. Oh, I don't know, whatever,

281
00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:29.559
it doesn't matter. Some people love convinced that Maria was possessed,

282
00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:32.799
and others believed that perhaps Madya was suffering from epilepsy.

283
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:35.120
Did they know what epilepsy was back then? Don or

284
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:38.440
do they now believe? Like, I'm not sure, it doesn't specify,

285
00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:41.759
so whatever. But none of this did much to convince

286
00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:44.080
the priests, who were sure the devil had taken over

287
00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:48.080
Madia's body. Soon after, Maria displayed a scarier behavior and

288
00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:50.399
was so strong that it would take more than three

289
00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:53.440
people to hold her down. One day, while she was

290
00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:56.720
surrounded by the priests, Maria confessed that she made a

291
00:15:56.759 --> 00:16:01.759
deal with the devil ooh, and ranged by her mother's

292
00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:04.440
desician to leave her behind while she took her sister

293
00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:08.519
with her to attend cattle in Adequipa on that day.

294
00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:11.840
So she left Maria, yeah, and so she was pissed.

295
00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:14.799
She just pissed. And so she made a deal with

296
00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:18.240
the devil because she was pissed. I don't know what

297
00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:23.000
he's feeling that it's funny. So on that day, while

298
00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:26.000
under a fig tree on her brother's property, she summoned

299
00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:28.720
the devil himself, who appeared to her, dressed as a

300
00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:31.879
charming man, as one does if you're the devil. You know. Yeah,

301
00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:35.600
he's always well dressed. It's a given, it's a staple. Yeah.

302
00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:39.080
The devil offered Maria his services in exchange for her

303
00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:47.320
her what soul? Yeah, Maria agreed, and to see all

304
00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:51.240
the packed she gave the devil from her middle finger,

305
00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:55.000
a strand of hair and a ring. How long was

306
00:16:55.039 --> 00:16:56.600
the hair on her finger and then she was able to

307
00:16:56.679 --> 00:16:58.679
pull it off and give it to the devil. I'm

308
00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:02.000
not sure. Actually, that's kind of the most disturbing thing

309
00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:07.359
out of all this. Wow, people, you're right. I'm sorry,

310
00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:11.000
I shouldn't judge. Yeah. Shocked by what they heard, the

311
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:16.000
group of Dominicans, which included Fire alonocon Friar juand Los

312
00:17:16.039 --> 00:17:19.559
Angeles and Fire Francisco de la Cruz, gathered with the

313
00:17:19.599 --> 00:17:22.640
group of Jesuits who decided what to do with Maria.

314
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:25.160
By the end of the meeting, both religious groups decided

315
00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:28.920
they must continue with Maria's exorcism. I can't imagine what

316
00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:32.640
are the conclusion they would ever come to. With everyone

317
00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:37.279
on board, their first exorcism began Friday morning and lasted

318
00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:40.960
till Saturday afternoon. But it's not that long. Only two days. Yeah,

319
00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:46.240
a weekend, Yeah, weekend exorcism. What are your plans this

320
00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:51.079
weekend exorcism? The religious men were quickly confronted by the

321
00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:54.200
demons inside of Maria. According to the report, they claimed

322
00:17:54.279 --> 00:17:57.359
that demons would take control of Maria and answer on

323
00:17:57.400 --> 00:18:00.119
her behalf when they would ask a question, and they

324
00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:03.240
would try to feed Maria, she would projectile, vomit everything

325
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:06.880
back out. All of this fell to work, and eventually

326
00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:10.559
the religious men brought in father son Sebastan to help

327
00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:13.880
with the extracism. Father Sebastian was able to successfully get

328
00:18:13.880 --> 00:18:16.920
the demons to appear and answer his questions. Next, the

329
00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:19.559
group of men brought in the archbishop, who analyzed the

330
00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:23.640
situation and it's dead. Believe Madia needed food, so he

331
00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:26.400
took the weak team to his home and fed and

332
00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:29.559
took care of her. That's kind of nice. Yeah. Days

333
00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:32.640
and later, Madia had not recovered, so the archbishop brought

334
00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:36.039
her back home and told the group of religious men

335
00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:39.920
to continue the extracism. He said, nevermind the model, and

336
00:18:39.960 --> 00:18:42.440
this is what she really popped off. After this day,

337
00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:45.799
the group of men performed several extorcisms on Maria around

338
00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:48.240
the clock twenty four to seven. They were like, the

339
00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:52.240
devil works hard, but we work harder. According to fire

340
00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:56.240
better than too. He performed the arcticisms for thirty six days,

341
00:18:56.680 --> 00:19:02.000
removing at least one demon a day. That's lot. But

342
00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:06.960
but but somehow Maria was still possessed. It's almost like

343
00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:09.319
maybe she's not possessed way, But how many demons are there,

344
00:19:09.400 --> 00:19:13.680
like in existence in general, like thousands? Oh wow, oh oh,

345
00:19:13.720 --> 00:19:16.240
I don't know. I'm just saying, oh, you're guessing. I'm guessing.

346
00:19:16.440 --> 00:19:18.200
I think so, though I think that there's a lot.

347
00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:21.279
I think you're right. The limit does not exist. Friar

348
00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:24.559
better than Toro blamed it on mischievous demons who made

349
00:19:24.599 --> 00:19:27.079
them think they had left but remained in Maria's body.

350
00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:29.400
I guess that makes sense, Like there's not thirty six

351
00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:31.559
de minuts, it's the same demons that just pretend to

352
00:19:31.640 --> 00:19:35.119
leave and then don't or something that. Yeah, then rather

353
00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:40.440
than thirty six actual demons. Yeah. The desperate religious leaders

354
00:19:40.599 --> 00:19:43.200
then it dragged Maria to a church where they believe

355
00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:46.200
they'd finally be able to rid her of the demons.

356
00:19:46.319 --> 00:19:48.079
I thought she was at a church this whole time.

357
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:52.079
I guess, yeah, me too. I thought she's interested their church.

358
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:54.559
I guess maybe she was like in their office or something.

359
00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:58.720
I don't know. Yeah, but that didn't work either, So

360
00:19:58.759 --> 00:20:01.720
they took Madyat back to her home, where the exorcisms

361
00:20:01.799 --> 00:20:05.599
didn't slow down, and the priests took turns conducting exorcisms

362
00:20:05.640 --> 00:20:07.960
and taking care of Maria. At one point, the priests

363
00:20:08.039 --> 00:20:12.359
claimed to have exercise at least eighty demons for Maria's body.

364
00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:16.039
They're ramping this number up. Wow, yeah, we went thirty

365
00:20:16.039 --> 00:20:18.759
six Yeah right, yeah, one a day to thirty six

366
00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:24.240
to eighty. Interesting. The situation turned even darker when the

367
00:20:24.279 --> 00:20:27.160
priest decided to use corporal punishment to get rid of

368
00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:30.119
the demons. I knew it was heading here. It always

369
00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:34.039
does with the Spanish inquisition and exorcisms in general. Yeah.

370
00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:36.720
They began to slap Maria and tie her arms and

371
00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:40.680
legs up. This backfired, and in response, Madia would get

372
00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:44.640
more aggressive. I mean, who wouldn't, right right. The Dominicans

373
00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:47.119
then switched it up and tried to use flattery to

374
00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:50.039
win Media's trust and trick the demons inside her. I

375
00:20:50.119 --> 00:20:54.240
like this a little better, more compassionate they gave Madia money, fabrics,

376
00:20:54.279 --> 00:20:56.920
and jewelry, and in return, the demons began to use

377
00:20:56.960 --> 00:20:59.599
the priest answers and identifying who they were, which is

378
00:20:59.599 --> 00:21:02.519
what they need their love language. If love languages were

379
00:21:02.519 --> 00:21:05.359
like real, not made up by some straight Christian man

380
00:21:05.400 --> 00:21:09.640
that only applied to Christians, it would be gift giving

381
00:21:09.880 --> 00:21:12.799
or gift receiving, right, and so yeah, I mean they

382
00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:15.160
needed the names of the real demons or the actual

383
00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:19.200
demons to successfully perform your extracism. So all they wanted

384
00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:21.799
was the little gifts. They just needed a little love,

385
00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:24.039
you know. Okay, So do you want to guess who

386
00:21:24.119 --> 00:21:26.759
the demons were? No, I can't remember any other demon's name.

387
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:29.160
I was gonna guess it wrong. Okay, it's fine. The

388
00:21:29.160 --> 00:21:34.720
demons identified themselves as bas Martin and Lupillo Martin and

389
00:21:34.799 --> 00:21:40.480
lay Barrabas. I get. But wow, yeah, yeah, Barrabas is

390
00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:45.839
a very demonic type name. Like it sounds like yeah, yeah,

391
00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:49.119
what's the other very famous sozo I think is another

392
00:21:49.160 --> 00:21:52.240
one people mentioned a lot you always said, right, that's

393
00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:55.000
only the other one I can think? Yeah, Martin and Lupillo,

394
00:21:55.200 --> 00:22:00.559
like so random. Something is not like the others. For real.

395
00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:03.680
Barrabas told the priests that he was the leader of

396
00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:06.480
the demons. That makes sense to me, prince among them,

397
00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:08.480
who was telling the demons what to do and how

398
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:10.680
to act, A real leader, if you will. Yeah, and

399
00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:13.680
they need a leader, right. Barrabas told the priest that

400
00:22:13.720 --> 00:22:16.119
Maria had not been harmed and she was only suffering

401
00:22:16.119 --> 00:22:19.759
pain when the priests tried to exercise her. Wow, imagine

402
00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:23.880
like the ones hurting her, not us. We're just chilling

403
00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:26.240
in her body. That's it. We're not doing anything wrong.

404
00:22:28.200 --> 00:22:30.519
She's actually more hurt when you try to exercise us.

405
00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:33.160
So just leave us bee in her body to stop it.

406
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:35.279
She gave us consent to be there. I don't know

407
00:22:35.279 --> 00:22:37.359
if they did. I know she did, actually I don't

408
00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:40.079
know at well, well, maybe she did it with the pact,

409
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:46.759
because yeah, she agreed to the Devil's whatever deal. Yeah, okay.

410
00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:50.200
According to the demons, Maria was randomly laughing because the

411
00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:53.519
demons were entertaining, seducing her and giving her gifts. What

412
00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:56.000
kind of gifts were they giving her? Actually that sounds

413
00:22:56.039 --> 00:22:59.359
kind of nice, does not the gifts of entertainment introduction?

414
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:04.240
You're right, you're right. Later on, during another exorcism, Maria

415
00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:07.640
saw a bright light followed by the angel San Gabriel,

416
00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:12.359
the messenger of La Virchin, who with an arrow killed

417
00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:16.799
eight thousand demons. There's eight thousand demons out there. Wow.

418
00:23:17.680 --> 00:23:20.640
Yeah wow. This became a trend, and for the next

419
00:23:20.720 --> 00:23:23.759
several days, mariac claimed that San Gabriel is stopped by

420
00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:27.279
her room and continued to rid her body of the spirits. Okay, well,

421
00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:30.480
he's doing his job. Yeah. As the day's passed, Maria's

422
00:23:30.519 --> 00:23:32.319
tone change and she told the priest she was no

423
00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:35.319
longer in communication with the devil, but was now receiving

424
00:23:35.400 --> 00:23:39.079
messages from the angels and saints. Verty supernatural, that's what

425
00:23:39.119 --> 00:23:42.720
I can think of. Very supernatural. Oh my god, she

426
00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:45.480
told the priest. Angels have told her she was chosen

427
00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:48.440
by God, which convinced the religious leaders. They are now

428
00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:50.839
in the presence. They were now in the presence of

429
00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:53.720
something holy. They believed her. What if it's a demon's

430
00:23:53.799 --> 00:23:58.559
joking though it probably is. Yeah, they're dumb. Next, Maria

431
00:23:58.640 --> 00:24:00.960
told the priest she had received it buying a message

432
00:24:01.200 --> 00:24:05.960
which said Jesus considered her one of his wives. This

433
00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:09.000
is why religious. Yes, I'm like, this is when red

434
00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:11.759
flags should have been raising for them, Right, Jesus didn't

435
00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:16.000
have wives. Yeah, the demons inside her are like this,

436
00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:21.359
my god. Maria told the priests that the angels and

437
00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:24.519
saints called upon them to bring her gifts to please God,

438
00:24:24.559 --> 00:24:28.960
who wanted to charm Maria. Doesn't sound right, This all

439
00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:33.160
sounds very wrong. According to Maria, she accepted jesus offer,

440
00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:36.279
and eventually she had a vision where they were married

441
00:24:36.359 --> 00:24:41.559
and several saints and biblical figures attended the ceremony. I'm

442
00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:45.480
not sure. I'm not convinced neither. This excited the priest,

443
00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:47.839
who was looking forward to having a closer connection to

444
00:24:47.960 --> 00:24:52.440
God via Maria. This is why they were fooled. They

445
00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:55.039
weren't being who they're supposed to be. They had an

446
00:24:55.039 --> 00:24:58.119
agenda to get closer to God. Yeah, which I guess

447
00:24:58.200 --> 00:25:00.960
makes sense, But this is like a The difference is

448
00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:03.000
obviously the greedy way to go about it, and it's

449
00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:06.559
not real right. But for some reason, Maria told the

450
00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:09.119
priest that even though she was married to Jesus, she

451
00:25:09.240 --> 00:25:12.000
still had demons inside her and began to instruct the

452
00:25:12.039 --> 00:25:15.680
priests on how to conduct her exorcisms. Oh my god,

453
00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:19.480
sometimes they a man needs a woman to tell them

454
00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:21.559
how to do it, So I don't see how that

455
00:25:21.599 --> 00:25:25.680
would not apply it to exorcisms. Maybe you're right. The

456
00:25:25.839 --> 00:25:29.519
only positive about this turnative event is that the priests

457
00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:32.119
were now documenting everything since they believed they were getting

458
00:25:32.200 --> 00:25:36.160
instructions from a holy figure. So thank you before I

459
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:40.279
guess not. They were even more convinced when Maria said

460
00:25:40.359 --> 00:25:43.559
God was using her to give the priests prophecies and

461
00:25:43.640 --> 00:25:50.079
special powers. Sure know. Yeah. While the group of Dominicans

462
00:25:50.119 --> 00:25:53.359
were following everything Maria was saying, the group of Jessoits

463
00:25:53.400 --> 00:25:56.440
were skeptical of Maria's claims and decided to remove themselves

464
00:25:56.440 --> 00:25:59.240
from the situation. Okay, just with They were like, no,

465
00:25:59.319 --> 00:26:02.559
don't involve us anymore. This is getting weird to weird,

466
00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:08.000
and things get even weirder and darker. Oh my god.

467
00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:12.480
The holy Man that remained began to act less than

468
00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:17.039
Holy Friar Luis Lopez and Friar better than Toro began

469
00:26:17.160 --> 00:26:21.079
having an intimate relationship with Maria while continuing to perform

470
00:26:21.720 --> 00:26:26.079
your face Sorr. Yet while continuing to perform exorcisms on Maria,

471
00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:31.400
both eventually impregnating her. Oh both of them. Wow, No,

472
00:26:31.920 --> 00:26:35.359
fuck them. That's disgusting. This is a woman with the

473
00:26:35.440 --> 00:26:39.079
medical disorder of possession. She's being possessed by so many

474
00:26:39.119 --> 00:26:44.920
spirits she cannot consented to them. Wow. No, I knew

475
00:26:44.920 --> 00:26:46.920
it was going to go there, Like I just knew it. Yeah,

476
00:26:46.960 --> 00:26:51.079
because when does it? Right? In between exorcisms, she continued

477
00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:54.039
to give the Dominicans list of what she needed, which

478
00:26:54.039 --> 00:26:57.480
included jewelry that, according to her, would help her feel better.

479
00:26:57.839 --> 00:27:00.759
Honestly on her side about this, Yeah, yeah, I'm sure

480
00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:04.599
she did talk about it. You need Maria Pisaro. In

481
00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:08.160
July fifteen seventy one, Friar Gascon began to have second

482
00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:11.519
thoughts about what he and other Friars were doing with Maria.

483
00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:14.680
Now you're having second thoughts, okay. Many assumed that the

484
00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:17.079
skepticism might have been triggered by the start of the

485
00:27:17.079 --> 00:27:21.359
Peruvians Inquisition, which sought to punish anyone who wasn't following

486
00:27:21.480 --> 00:27:24.400
the Catholic doctrine to a t still looking out for

487
00:27:24.440 --> 00:27:27.960
themselves as always, Yeah, looking for guidance or for a

488
00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:31.039
way to clear himself in case anyone accused him of

489
00:27:31.079 --> 00:27:34.559
Anythina and Holy Friar Gascon he knew he was doing

490
00:27:34.599 --> 00:27:38.079
something wrong. Friar Gascon sent a letter to the bishop

491
00:27:38.319 --> 00:27:40.920
and an inquisitor explaining everything that had happened in the

492
00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:44.759
last three years and named everyone who was involved. Switch

493
00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:50.960
Switch three years right. The inquisitor launched an investigation, and

494
00:27:50.960 --> 00:27:54.839
by October fifteen seventy one, the inquisitor told Friar Francisco

495
00:27:55.200 --> 00:27:57.759
de la Cruz he was not allowed to get near Maria,

496
00:27:57.799 --> 00:28:01.039
so the investigation was done. You know what would be like,

497
00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:03.640
what I feel like happened here is that they weren't

498
00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:06.039
even looking into them until they snitch on themselves, and

499
00:28:06.079 --> 00:28:10.279
then they were like, let's investigate them. Oh I'm sure, yeah,

500
00:28:10.359 --> 00:28:14.759
they got themselves caught up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Financisco. The

501
00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:17.759
Lacruse did not listen and visited Maria to tell her

502
00:28:18.599 --> 00:28:22.640
what to say and to not tell the investigators. Two

503
00:28:22.680 --> 00:28:27.440
months later, investigators decided to arrest the Lacruse, the Toro Gascon,

504
00:28:27.640 --> 00:28:30.799
and after speaking with the three, the investigators decided they

505
00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:34.119
would also arrest Maria. Pedro De lasted three years in

506
00:28:34.200 --> 00:28:37.200
jail before he died of illness. Alanto Gascon, on the

507
00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:40.319
other hand, served more jail time and was tortured when

508
00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:45.759
inquisitors felt his apology was not genuine. Okay, Friar Luis

509
00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:48.319
Lopez was found guilty and sent back to Spain and

510
00:28:48.359 --> 00:28:53.920
prohibited from receiving confessions from women. Okay, well, okay, that

511
00:28:54.000 --> 00:28:57.640
sounds fair. Yeah. Francisco de la Cruz was handed the

512
00:28:57.759 --> 00:29:00.680
worst punishment. He tried to defend himself and in the

513
00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:03.440
process lost his mind and said he was a new

514
00:29:03.559 --> 00:29:08.799
prophet sent to Earth to help spread Mariia's messages. Okay,

515
00:29:08.799 --> 00:29:13.400
but what if it was true? Right about that? He

516
00:29:13.519 --> 00:29:15.480
was sentenced to be tortured, and when he refused to

517
00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:18.480
say he was wrong, he was burned alive. Maria, on

518
00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:21.279
the other hand, collaborated with the investigators and told them

519
00:29:21.319 --> 00:29:24.000
everything she went through was true. She told them she

520
00:29:24.039 --> 00:29:27.680
couldn't remember anything that happened because when when she spoke

521
00:29:27.720 --> 00:29:30.759
with the Devil and angels, she would go into a trance.

522
00:29:31.359 --> 00:29:35.519
Therefore she couldn't be held accountable, which makes sense to me. Yeah,

523
00:29:35.960 --> 00:29:40.720
of course. She was sentenced on June first, fifteen seventy three,

524
00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:44.480
after admitting to having a relationship with the devil. Wow,

525
00:29:44.839 --> 00:29:47.599
who else can say that? You know? No, right, everyone

526
00:29:47.640 --> 00:29:49.480
else who danced with him, they just danced with him.

527
00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:51.799
They didn't have a relationship, but you know, you know

528
00:29:52.039 --> 00:29:55.000
that was her writer die Wow or his writer Die

529
00:29:55.079 --> 00:29:58.599
I'm not sure. Was she the writer or die I'm

530
00:29:58.599 --> 00:30:01.559
not sure. So yeah, it doesn't matter, that doesn't matter.

531
00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:05.920
The Church took all of Maria's belongings. She was sentenced

532
00:30:05.920 --> 00:30:09.880
to Gel, where throughout the following years she expressed regret.

533
00:30:10.279 --> 00:30:14.559
She died inside Agel in December fifteen seventy three, at

534
00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:19.559
the age of twenty three. Young. Wow, that was wild.

535
00:30:20.480 --> 00:30:23.160
That was wild too many all the way, And you

536
00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:27.519
know what, I think she was wrongfully imprisoned here. I agree, no,

537
00:30:27.599 --> 00:30:31.000
but really in a like serious manner. The Spanish inquisition

538
00:30:31.200 --> 00:30:35.160
was just like one a way to you know, control

539
00:30:35.640 --> 00:30:38.480
right people obviously, but also like people that ended up

540
00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:41.319
like stuff. In the most was like she was probably

541
00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:45.000
not really possessed, right, and she was probably just you know, yeah,

542
00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:48.119
going through it mentally, and then she's accused of all

543
00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:51.039
these things, and then then she had to get advantage of, yes,

544
00:30:51.359 --> 00:30:53.920
and then during all those things she's taken advantage of

545
00:30:55.440 --> 00:30:56.920
So yeah, of course she's not going to come out

546
00:30:57.119 --> 00:30:59.279
get to go after this looking at her making her

547
00:30:59.359 --> 00:31:04.920
look more possessed. Yeah, so yeah, but man, that was

548
00:31:05.119 --> 00:31:09.359
that was wild. Yeah. As Book Tells is hosted by
