00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:08.800
Hi everyone. This is Christina and
Carmen and this is another episode of as

2
00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:12.919
Spooky Tales, the podcast for all
things a spooky, sometimes you crime,

3
00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:20.719
sometimes both today both all right,
and we're going to Argentina today for both

4
00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:25.640
of our stories. So Argentina,
Wow, mm hmmmm, it's been a

5
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:29.519
while, I think, so that'll
be fun. But before we get into

6
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:34.079
both cases that we have one scary
story or yeah, one hunter story,

7
00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:37.000
one oh my god, one part
normal, one true crime. Is what

8
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:40.280
I was trying to say the whole
time, m I was wondering what you

9
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:44.039
were saying, like I couldn't guess
as wondering what the fuck you were saying?

10
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:47.799
What the fuck is she saying?
What am I doing here? Oh,

11
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:51.520
we're good, Yes, that's what
we're doing. Anyway, before we

12
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:54.640
get to that, I have a
listener story. And if you have a

13
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:57.359
story you want to send to the
podcast, you can email at Spooky Toes

14
00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:00.039
at gmail dot com. You can
email I don't know where my brain is

15
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.959
today, you know what, I
haven't taken my meds. You can call

16
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:07.439
the number in the show notes.
Yeah, thank you, Carmen. You

17
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:11.760
can call the number in the show
notes. The Spooky hotline, leave it

18
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:15.000
in a voice smail, you get
us to record in your notes or whatever

19
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:18.840
and email it. That's another way. When you call and of a story,

20
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:22.120
it cuts off at either a minute
and a half or two minutes.

21
00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:26.000
So keep it short. Yeah,
keep either keep it short or you just

22
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:29.799
know you're got to keep calling or
send it in one long recording via email

23
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:33.519
that's probably easier, or you can
dm us that's an option too. On

24
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:38.040
Instagram is the easiest place for that. And okay, I do have one

25
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:44.480
update from our last story, last
episode with the sister. The little Demonic

26
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:49.000
sister, oh Chata emailed me.
She let me know that her sister was

27
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:53.959
two years old when that happened,
which, honestly, I don't know if

28
00:01:53.959 --> 00:02:01.159
that makes it better or worse.
I think that it makes it worse in

29
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:05.239
the sense that maybe she was just
on top of her because she's a random

30
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:07.159
two year old doing random two year
old things and she's not a demon.

31
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:12.759
That's true. That's true. And
then she says she has had not asked

32
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:15.319
her sister she remembers, but if
your so, she probably doesn't. But

33
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:17.080
that makes you feel a little better
for chat that maybe, yeah, maybe

34
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:21.280
your sister was just climbing on you. Like my monster of a two year

35
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:23.960
old will just climb on me and
hit me in the face. He climbs

36
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:29.439
all the time. Yeah, Like
I'm just sitting there and then next thing

37
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:31.800
you know, he's climbing on me. So yeah, So maybe the sleep

38
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:38.080
paralysis and what you saw in the
sleep paralysis just coincided with your sister doing

39
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:42.639
that at the same time. But
she really wasn't possessed, and maybe there's

40
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:45.840
more to it, like more stories
of shuit she did later that we don't

41
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:49.280
know true. So yeah, that's
true, So we don't know. It

42
00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:52.560
could be either way, could still
be either one. Yeah, let us

43
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:57.439
know. But I have a new
story that was sent in and I'm not

44
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:00.479
sure if they wanted to stay anonymous, so I will. I'll keep their

45
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:02.400
name out of it. But this
wasn't via email, So let's get into

46
00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:07.400
it. Hi, Spooky. I
enjoy listening to your podcast as it helps

47
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:09.360
me get through my workday. My
story dates back to when I was a

48
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:13.919
junior in high school and at the
time, my house was only a few

49
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:17.159
blocks away from the school, so
I would occasionally walk to and from school

50
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:21.400
every day, and during winter,
my friend would give me a ride.

51
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:24.400
One winter day, when it was
time to head to school, my friend

52
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:28.520
said they had gotten a flat tire
and were not able to pick me up,

53
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:31.560
so I had to walk. It
was cold and foggy, and I

54
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:37.240
remember passing by one of the nearby
alleys and seeing a lady with a long

55
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:42.560
black coat with the hood, and
she had these long, flowy pants that

56
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:46.759
looked like sweats. I assumed she
was homeless as she was leaned up against

57
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:51.719
the backyard fence with their head down
and muttering stuff. But as I walked

58
00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:55.000
past the alley, she quickly looked
at me and stared me down. I

59
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:59.479
didn't think anything of it until I
was out at lunch and I saw her

60
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:04.000
again, standing in the middle of
the nearby residential street on the other side

61
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:09.680
of the school fence, but the
cold stare directed my way. I thought

62
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:13.960
maybe I just pissed her off and
that she was crazy. I started to

63
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:17.199
get paranoid towards the end of the
school day, since my friends didn't have

64
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:20.720
their car because of the tire issue, and I knew I had to walk

65
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:26.040
home with the chance of running into
that lady again. Once school ended,

66
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:28.959
I took a different way home,
where I knew there would be more traffic

67
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:32.519
and people around, but for some
reason, there wasn't. I don't like

68
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:36.399
that, Like the street should have
been busy and it wasn't. No,

69
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:42.759
the fog seemed to have gotten thicker, so I called my girlfriend at the

70
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:46.040
time to stay on the phone with
me until I got home. Once I

71
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:49.759
was down the block, the call
failed and I kept hearing shuffling, but

72
00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:55.360
I couldn't see because of the fog. I had a feeling in my stomach

73
00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:59.079
like you get when you're on a
roller coaster. Ough, I hate that

74
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:02.600
feeling. Yeah, me too.
I instantly felt sick, so I tried

75
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:06.959
to hurry home and get signaled to
call my girlfriend back. Once I was

76
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:11.839
getting closer to home, out of
nowhere, that same lady appeared and got

77
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:15.680
really close to me to where I
could see. She had one blind eye

78
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:20.240
and the other one looked normal.
Her teeth were very dark, and her

79
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:25.519
face was dirty with scabs. She
had a polite voice and asked if I

80
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:30.000
would help her find her dog.
Be the bad person and say no always

81
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:33.759
and asked if I would help her
find her dog, which ran off towards

82
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:39.920
the river. Nearby river which was
Stanislaus River. Are they in the two

83
00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:45.319
nine? Maybe? Is there another
status? I'm sure there's Sometimes they repeat

84
00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:46.759
names everywhere. You know what I
mean, true or true? There could

85
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:53.879
be another Stanislaus Spike. They could
be here, yeah, I mean yeah.

86
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:57.720
And she needed him back because she
was blind in one eye. I

87
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:00.519
told her I wasn't able to because
I had to get home, and she

88
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.639
offered me one hundred dollars and somehow
got me to say yes, even though

89
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:06.720
I didn't want to. I just
blurted it out, and I felt myself

90
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:12.279
starting to walk with her until a
lady who lived a few houses down.

91
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:15.160
Her name was Rosa, came out
of her house, shining in Spanish,

92
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:20.639
and she kept saying brujas. The
lady got startled and took off quickly and

93
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:27.000
vanished in the thick fog. I
snapped out of this weird trance. Rosa

94
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:30.759
came up to me and was saying
these prayers in Spanish. I don't speak

95
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:33.800
or understand it, and she started
speaking in English when she knew I didn't

96
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:38.480
understand, and kept asking if I
was okay and what the lady wanted.

97
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:43.040
I told her what happened since the
morning and what she wanted, and Rosa

98
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:47.560
said she was most likely going to
sacrifice me and then I should wear across

99
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:53.120
and pray. I had a few
nightmares after that day and was always paranoid

100
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:56.480
of seeing her again, so I
made sure I always had a ride and

101
00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:01.079
never walked again. I still think
about the witch lady, and I pray

102
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:05.240
I never have another run in with
her again. Thank you for taking the

103
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:11.040
time to read my story. I
hope you enjoyed it. You know,

104
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:15.600
sometimes we hear like witch legends and
stories and it's like people are just being

105
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:20.600
mean to the single old cat lady
and the neighborhood. Yeah, but this,

106
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:25.160
this, I mean a little creepy. It was suspicious because even if

107
00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:28.839
let's say she wasn't a witch whatever, why does she run off when the

108
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:33.040
neighbors started like shouting, you know, like she was if she didn't have

109
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:36.079
ill intentions, she would have ran
away, Like if she truly needed help

110
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:39.560
finding her dog, she'd be like, hey, I just need help finding

111
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:45.959
my dog. Yeah, exactly.
Honestly, if this is like, if

112
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:47.959
I were to believe which stories,
this is what other than where I'd be

113
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:54.680
like probably yeah, if anything maybe
involved in human trafficking, I don't know

114
00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:58.759
which we know, we know that's
not how human trafficking cases a. But

115
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:01.399
like it doesn't sound like she had
good intentions like you said, but she

116
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:07.199
was up to something yeah something,
No, no, no bueno, no

117
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:09.879
bueno indeed. So yeah, thank
you so much for sending that in.

118
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:13.839
That's scary. All right. Uh, who's really wed? I already forgot,

119
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:18.360
Carmen. I'm reading the crime.
You are reading the ghost story,

120
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:20.800
and you are going first. Yes, thank you, thank you. All

121
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:24.959
right, so yeah, let's go
on to our ghost story here. So,

122
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:28.600
lady, in white stories, we
love them. They're everywhere, we

123
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:31.080
do love them. Yes, yeah, yeah, I mean like La Yourna.

124
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:37.519
Let's see one a. She's wearing
a white dress. Countless places and

125
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:41.879
Argentina is no exception in La Pampa, which is a province in Argentina,

126
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:46.799
in central Argentina. I should say, there's la dama, the blanco,

127
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:50.399
the leading white in Spanish. The
dame is word, yeah, like the

128
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:54.320
damon, like distress or is it
damsel? Oh wait it's damsel. I

129
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:58.759
think you're right, yeah, damsel
because of her the dame name. That

130
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:03.679
is a word. Okay, but
this would be like the damsel in white.

131
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:07.240
I want to say, yes,
m M. I mean, I

132
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:09.879
guess we have the phrase the lady
in white. Let's just use it.

133
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:13.159
Yeah, so yeah, the lady
in white. So according to let and

134
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:18.879
I will also add that a lot
of these legends have a very similar story

135
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:22.320
like backstory. Well, first of
all, she wouldn't be wearing white if

136
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:26.399
she wasn't going to be a bride, you know what I mean, that's

137
00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:30.360
strictly referred to brides. So I
mean for not to And a lot of

138
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:33.320
times we don't know her name,
you know what. Her name doesn't matter

139
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:37.639
because she's just a woman. Yeah, you're right, So historically, I

140
00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:41.919
mean it doesn't matter. I don't
mean for me, it doesn't matter.

141
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:46.399
I wish we knew all their names. I wish each lady and white had

142
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:56.000
a name. Yes, anyway,
moving past that necessary so this story is

143
00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:00.720
of course no exception. So according
to legend and the Earth, early nineteen

144
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:03.120
hundreds, there was a woman who
was being forced to marry a man,

145
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:09.799
and she wanted to marry the love
of her life, but her family would

146
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:15.399
not allow it. They never do
amordo amor pribido. Yes, so the

147
00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:18.320
love of her life he was not
in the same social class, and he

148
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:22.759
this marriage if they allowed it would
bring shame to the family. So no,

149
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:28.120
that was a hard pass. They
forbade it, and instead she would

150
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:31.960
marry this other rich and respectable older
man. She didn't want to. She

151
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:37.480
refused, and in a moment of
desperation, she dressed herself in her wedding

152
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:43.840
dress and ran away. And they
found her hung from unkalden, a type

153
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:48.039
of tree specific to this region.
So she was hanging from a tree when

154
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:54.279
they found her, and it's on
Route one of La Pampa. So fast

155
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:58.000
forward to today. Her spirit is
said to appear either on the tree when

156
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:03.360
you're driving or on the road.
All these stories, it's always like she's

157
00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:07.360
like suddenly on the road, or
the very popular one where you're driving and

158
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:11.919
first she's on the road, yeah, and then suddenly she's in the back

159
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:15.759
of your car and then you fucking
crash because you're like ah yeah, yeah,

160
00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:18.120
ah, you crash and die.
Yes. So this is the same,

161
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:22.600
similar and there's all the versions.
She's either on the tree, she's

162
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:26.399
on the road, or she appears
in people's cars. There's the one woman.

163
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:31.879
Her name is Yamile Lopez Uriarte.
She had heard all these stories before,

164
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:35.879
and she never believed them. She
was a lawyer, she was busy.

165
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:39.480
She's like, I'm too old to
believe these childish stories. Even as

166
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:43.559
a child, she was like,
these are just legends, They're not true.

167
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:48.919
And everything changed. On the twenty
sixth of November twenty seventeen, she

168
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:52.639
was driving to visit her father.
This is a trip that she made all

169
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:56.480
the time. She was on Route
one and while she was driving, she

170
00:11:56.519 --> 00:12:00.440
saw a woman on the side of
the road and she's like what She didn't

171
00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:03.080
think any of it, But then
she was driving and she saw her again,

172
00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:05.039
which is like, how is this
possible? First of all, like

173
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:09.679
how does she make it there that
fast? Yeah? Exactly. So she

174
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:13.360
pulls over, rolls her window down
and asks the lady like, hey,

175
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:16.480
are you okay? Like maybe you're
cold, I don't know whatever, And

176
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:24.200
the woman then out of nowhere,
turns to her and books it like sprints

177
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:28.799
at top speed to her car.
Oh my god. Yea. Mila rolls

178
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:35.000
her window up as fast as she
can and like speeds away. But she

179
00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:43.200
noted that the women had a rope
around her neck and her eyes Batasian barbadosos,

180
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:48.080
which is is that like baggy eyes. I think, so okay,

181
00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:52.840
I always forget. So she yeah, speeds away as fast as she can.

182
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:56.320
She books it, and she thought
she lost the women. She's like,

183
00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:58.679
oh, I'm safe, and then
she passes by a tree and then

184
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:03.679
she's women hanging from the tree.
Oh my god, Oh my god.

185
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:07.360
And when she passed by, saw
her on the tree, she was reaching

186
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:11.799
her hands like on the tree,
screaming and reaching towards her car. That's

187
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:16.360
scary. No, She's like,
join me. Oh my god. Oh

188
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:18.639
I hated. I hated. And
when I read that, I almost threw

189
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:24.559
up. I'm exaggerating. I did
get scared, though, Yeah, and

190
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:28.799
Jamila was terrified. Luckily she didn't
crash or anything, but she did speed

191
00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:33.360
away. And to this day she
avoids that road. She either doesn't visit

192
00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:35.960
her dad or there's another way she
takes it. She's like, nope,

193
00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:39.480
you come to me now, and
now hopefully you don't see that lady never

194
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:43.840
driving there again. Yeah, that
that creaked me out. That is scary.

195
00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:48.679
And like, I wonder if she
took that road often, Like why

196
00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:52.639
then you know, why did the
lady in white decided to show herself?

197
00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:56.960
Then you know she just wanted to
you know, yeah, she just felt

198
00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:01.039
like today I'm scaring her. No, but really I do. I do

199
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:05.639
wonder what change, Like, I
wonder why why then if she had yeah,

200
00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:09.000
drivennus she I mean, yeah,
she's in her thirties. She's like,

201
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:11.320
oh, she's been driving this road
for years now, Like why that

202
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:15.399
night? Oh I don't know.
Yeah, I wonder if she has a

203
00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:18.559
choice, like of like a preference. I guess I should say, of

204
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:22.120
like people to care like victims.
She just chooses like oh this one says

205
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:28.559
she didn't believe so exactly. Yeah, I'm gonna show her. Yeah she's

206
00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:33.000
gonna learn, she's gonna learn to
date either way. Terrible. Yeah,

207
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:37.279
that was scary. That's like straight
out of a movie. All Right,

208
00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:39.879
We're gonna take a moment to go
to our haunted what do I call it

209
00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:43.600
hunted break? I don't remember what
I call it hunted break? Yeah?

00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:46.120
Yeah, oh thanks, where we
thank all our patreons? We just I

00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:52.759

00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:56.399
I literally said where we think our
patreons? And then I was like that's

214
00:14:56.440 --> 00:15:00.720
not right, And then you repeat
it the same thing. Oh, it's

233
00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:41.440
we're back, Yes, Yes,
and I'll be sharing a too true except

234
00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:45.960
two instead of true. I heard
you a true crime case. I can't

235
00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:52.759
talk all right. So every night
from nineteen fifty three to nineteen sixty,

236
00:16:52.200 --> 00:17:00.000
police and Tukuman Monteros Argentina received frantic
calls from locals. They were calling claimed

237
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:06.640
to see a vampire flying around town. Florencio Fernandes terrorized Montero's Argentina. He

238
00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:12.680
was known as the window Vampire.
Florencio Roque Fernandez was born in nineteen thirty

239
00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:17.000
five. The year and day is
not known. He was born into a

240
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:21.839
very low income family and started having
aggression issues as a small child, and

241
00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:26.240
he was diagnosed as a psychopath at
an early age, and a little later

242
00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:30.000
in life, he was also diagnosed
with schizophrenia. I thought, you know

243
00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:33.319
I thought it was a thing that
you couldn't actually be diagnoscause you know,

244
00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:36.920
psychopath is not a diagnosis today,
right, yeah, like you don't,

245
00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:42.119
but it's technically anti social personality disorder, right yeah, And you can't be

246
00:17:42.200 --> 00:17:45.920
diagnosed as a child, right right, That's what I was going to say,

247
00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:48.079
Like, I thought that was a
thing you couldn't be diagnosed with until

248
00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:52.200
you were an adult. Yeah,
that's right. So but all all the

249
00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:56.519
news, well nobody gets it right
in the news of the media. Plus

250
00:17:56.680 --> 00:18:00.960
probably back then there was no different
and seen how they it's a new word

251
00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:04.279
thing, that's yeah, Yeah,
that's what I was wondering. But everything

252
00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:08.440
said that he was diagnosed as a
psychopath and at her at an early age.

253
00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:11.119
And I was like, I don't
know, you're like, one,

254
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:18.559
not a diagnosis. Two if it
was a diagnosis, not something they diagnosed

255
00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:22.839
so bad with, Yeah, you're
right, it is. We need to

256
00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:27.279
stop here. I'm not gonna make
that noise again. I'm not either.

257
00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:36.759
Adults that are diagnosed with antisocial personality
disorder, as children are commonly diagnosed with

258
00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:41.000
the oppositional definance disorder. It's like
a precursor, I guess as children.

259
00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:45.720
Yeah, oh, I have.
I have read that. So his family

260
00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:51.000
couldn't afford medication for him, and
his schizophrenia went unmedicated. When he was

261
00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:56.559
fifteen, he went to see Dracula
by Todd Browning, the classic one with

262
00:18:56.640 --> 00:19:00.720
Bela Lugosi. Huh, that's funny. I was just watching Supernatural and they

263
00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:06.119
do a lot of references to like
horror movies, and even Linda Blair was

264
00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:07.480
And I didn't know this when I
was first watching this, but I asked

265
00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:11.839
me watching it. She played a
detective in one of the episodes. I

266
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:17.759
didn't know that either. Yeah,
and then they had a character in the

267
00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:22.680
episode I just watched called Bela Lugosi. Oh that is random, Okay,

268
00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:27.160
interesting, it's probably a callback to
this. Oh of course it's Yeah,

269
00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:34.759
it's like the classic vampire movie that
kicked it all off. Actually we last

270
00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:41.640
Hello or last Valentine's Day. I
shared Valentine's Day cards for our on Instagram,

271
00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:44.599
and I put Bela Lugosi on one
of them. So, oh,

272
00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:48.400
I'll bring them back this year.
Yeah. Yeah, I forgot what I

273
00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:52.319
wrote on it, like the little
phrase that I made up for the card,

274
00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:56.759
but I know I used his image, So I'll bring this back this

275
00:19:56.839 --> 00:20:00.039
year because I made a couple of
fun once the past two years. But

276
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:02.799
my brain is not working anymore,
so I can't think of any new cards,

277
00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:07.079
but I'll just share the same ones
like one go. Like my creativity

278
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:11.319
it was all used up then for
that specifically, it's gone now. Yeah,

279
00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:17.079
I cannot think of any more Valentine's
Stay cards. So experts now believe

280
00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:21.880
that watching that might have cemented in
his brain that he was a vampire.

281
00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:26.920
This isn't confirmed, but it was
known that Florencio had hallucinations and delusions that

282
00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:30.799
made him believe he was a vampire. Instead of helping him, his family

283
00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:33.880
felt that he was too much,
too hard to handle, and they abandoned

284
00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:37.559
him. How sad. Yeah,
he was left without a home and he

285
00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:41.079
was forced to beg for money and
sleep in the streets to survive. He

286
00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:47.200
also suffered from photophobia, the fear
of light. I wonder which came first

287
00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:52.519
if he also always had photophobia,
and then maybe when he saw the Vampire

288
00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:55.960
movie then he was like, Oh, this is why I have photophobia.

289
00:20:56.000 --> 00:21:00.599
I'm a vampire. Yeah, maybe
he's reasoning me. Maybe he's like,

290
00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:03.519
oh, I can live like a
vampire. Also, in the darkness.

291
00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:07.119
Yeah yeah. I wonder if if
he already had that when he saw the

292
00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:11.880
movie. Maybe thinks the ponder.
Yeah yeah. So this led him to

293
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:17.039
live in a cave in the outskirts
of Montero's, kind of like the Grinch,

294
00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:22.519
and he only came out at night, Unlike the Grinch. Unlike the

295
00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:27.839
Grin, he only came out to
steal Christmas. Yeah, and this probably

296
00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:33.079
enforced his delusions that he was a
vampire. One night in January, while

297
00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:37.680
everyone else was sleeping in Montero's,
Florencio, I thought you wrote Florencito,

298
00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:45.799
Florencio fco. Now we're not gonna
give nicknames to murderers. It does say

299
00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:52.519
Fencito, but that was a TYPEO. Oh my god, Florencio, Florencito,

300
00:21:52.680 --> 00:22:00.480
the vampire window killer not not cute. So Florencio left his cave and

301
00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:03.400
ventured into town. Although it was
January, it was very hot and everyone

302
00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:08.200
left their windows open. He climbed
into an open window into a woman's room.

303
00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:12.240
She was laying in bed. He
walked to her, stood next to

304
00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:15.599
her bed, and beat her with
the bat. He then bit her neck.

305
00:22:17.079 --> 00:22:19.559
The next day police found her.
She had suffered from head trauma and

306
00:22:19.640 --> 00:22:23.759
severe blood loss, and she died
on her bedroom floor. And at this

307
00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:30.720
point Florencio was only seventeen. Wow, that's it. And one wonders like,

308
00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:36.079
what if what if his family hadn't
abandoned him? You know, would

309
00:22:36.119 --> 00:22:38.920
this have so happened? If?
What if healthcare was free? Also that?

310
00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:44.039
Yeah, and he had been able
to get the medication he needed.

311
00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:45.519
Yeah, and maybe I don't know, just throwing this out there, but

312
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:51.000
what if there was like some sort
of income that his family could have received?

313
00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:56.759
Wild hot here, I don't know, I don't know. It doesn't

314
00:22:56.759 --> 00:22:59.759
seem possible, Christina, So we
shouldn't even think of that truely, right,

315
00:23:00.200 --> 00:23:03.440
right, you're right. I'm just
saying that, like maybe maybe that's

316
00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:07.559
how you fix crime. Hm hm, Nope, seems too wild note.

317
00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:15.000
Yeah. The next month, another
woman was found dead in Montero's. She

318
00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:18.480
had also been bitten on the neck, was beaten, and had bled to

319
00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:22.839
death. Her trakya had been severed, and there was a bloody hammer and

320
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:27.799
broomstick at the scene. It's horrible, horrifying, Griza, imagine coming across

321
00:23:27.839 --> 00:23:32.880
those like this is a small town
in Afganina. Yeah, just imagine coming

322
00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:37.920
across like back to back to like
crime scenes like this, Like I mean

323
00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:41.359
there was like panic. Yeah,
I no wonder they thought it was an

324
00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:45.920
actual vampire. Wait did they actually
think that? Uh? Probably? Newspapers

325
00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:55.519
started releasing headlines talking about the window
vampire. That answers my question. Yeah,

326
00:23:55.720 --> 00:24:00.359
I wrote these notes in case people
can't sell again, so it's not

327
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:06.839
a surprise. But I'm like refusing
to answer your questions. And so when

328
00:24:06.839 --> 00:24:11.400
I watch shows and movies with anyone
but you, we are the worst people

329
00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:15.480
to watch movies and shows with.
Yeah, we are, because we'll just

330
00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:18.160
sit there and talk through everything.
Like my poor husband sometimes he just stops

331
00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:25.039
answering because he knows I'm not gonna
like some mine too. Yeah. Yeah,

332
00:24:25.079 --> 00:24:27.480
they have to be patient to put
up with this. So I forgive

333
00:24:27.559 --> 00:24:32.039
that they won't answer her questions.
But we're watching movies together aplout. I

334
00:24:32.079 --> 00:24:34.279
love it. I love it because
we're just yeah, I can't say I

335
00:24:34.279 --> 00:24:41.720
can talk any point. Sometimes we
had to rewind. Yeah, okay,

336
00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:45.200
back to this. People began panicking. They started leaving holy water at their

337
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:51.440
windows and garlic to stop set a
vampire because they thought it was real funnly

338
00:24:51.559 --> 00:24:56.119
had helped and like, honestly,
if this was happening and there were no

339
00:24:56.319 --> 00:25:00.119
leads, nothing other than like we
think that this is a vampire, Yeah,

340
00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:03.240
I would have done the same thing, like yeah, yeah, about

341
00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:10.440
to start making steaks and wearing a
garlic necklace. Maybe I would have closed

342
00:25:10.440 --> 00:25:15.799
the window that too. Yeah.
Yeah, people thought they had seen this

343
00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:21.039
vampire flying. Oh. Actually it
brings back vibes of oh, I know

344
00:25:21.240 --> 00:25:25.960
the werewolf that bitch Richard Ramirez.
Oh I thought you were talking about the

345
00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:29.960
werewolf story that people thought there was
a were wolf in Uh, I forgot

346
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:33.279
where in Mexico? Oh and Goita? Where? Yeah? Yeah, yeah

347
00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:38.039
that was in Mexico in Goita.
Oh okay that yaas? Yeah I think

348
00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:41.359
it was Chiapas. Yeah. In
twenty twenty, no, no, no,

349
00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:45.839
I was talking about Richard Ramirez.
Wasn't he the one that was like

350
00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:49.079
if the wind, the door was
unlocked or something was unlocked, that those

351
00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:53.799
were the people that he murdered.
Like hmm, isn't that him? I

352
00:25:53.839 --> 00:25:57.680
don't remember, could be though,
I think it was him. I think

353
00:25:57.680 --> 00:26:00.640
it was him, Like he was
like turget, like you know, oh,

354
00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:03.640
it was like all lower California.
And I'm pretty sure he is the

355
00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:07.559
one who like if the window was
unlocked or if there was a door,

356
00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:11.160
I don't I'm forgetting wrong because I'm
never covering this bitch, like I'm never

357
00:26:11.240 --> 00:26:14.920
talking about him. Yeah, yeah, there's enough out there. M m.

358
00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:18.839
But I'm pretty sure that if there
was a way in that was like

359
00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:22.759
not breaking something, he would go
in that way. And this this guy

360
00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:26.680
is the same, Like if the
window was open, like an opportunistic it

361
00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:30.599
was like, oh, I'm just
gonna go in this house. Mm hmmm

362
00:26:30.759 --> 00:26:36.039
hmm. Yeah. So Florencio Fernandez
was taking advantage of the hot nights and

363
00:26:36.119 --> 00:26:40.880
new people were leaving their windows open. The mountain of victims guru and police

364
00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:45.240
had no leads. Meanwhile, Florencio
was repeating the same routine for every victim.

365
00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:48.039
He would stalk a victim for several
nights, then would find the perfect

366
00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:52.839
moment to attack once the victim was
asleep. Women and Montero's were afraid.

367
00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:57.279
Newspapers were also really stories of sexual
abuse, though there was no evidence of

368
00:26:57.319 --> 00:27:03.319
any victims having been sexual be abused. He didn't strike every month. Sometimes

369
00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:06.640
it was once a month, other
times it was twice a month, but

370
00:27:06.680 --> 00:27:10.279
there was also times he would go
months without attacking. There was not much

371
00:27:10.319 --> 00:27:15.039
evidence left behind. I wonder if
forensics were just not there. Yeah,

372
00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:17.640
it could have not been because this
was what the nineties. Yeah, oh

373
00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:21.680
wait, no, it was the
nineties, nineteen fifty three to nineteen sixty.

374
00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:26.119
There was definitely no forensics so yeah, yeah, so that must have

375
00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:30.400
made it harder if there was a
witnesses. Yeah, and there was nothing

376
00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:34.400
they could do like otherwise, like
other than catch him in the moment or

377
00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:41.720
someone surviving and identifying him. Yeah. Yeah, damn. I wonder why

378
00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:45.680
he would go monce without but sometimes
you hear of that. Yeah, yeah,

379
00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:49.200
I wonder. Yeah, people in
Montero's began believing that a rich,

380
00:27:49.559 --> 00:27:53.960
smart man was behind the crimes.
They usually never are rich or smart,

381
00:27:55.359 --> 00:27:57.599
yeah, or if they're yeah,
let's rephrase, they're usually never smart at

382
00:27:57.599 --> 00:28:03.000
the very least. Yeah. Yeah, they're just it's just like opportunity for

383
00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:07.920
suistic and luck that they haven't been
caught. Yeah, they're only smart on

384
00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:12.920
TV shows. Whether it's just like
these this uh super intelligence in real life,

385
00:28:12.920 --> 00:28:18.440
it's not like that three steps ahead
of the handsome FBI and the show

386
00:28:19.039 --> 00:28:26.680
I've been watching Bones again. Still
you mean still? Oh no, no,

387
00:28:26.680 --> 00:28:33.160
no, are you started over?
Yes? Yeah, well no,

388
00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:36.599
okay, I started watching Criminal Minds, but then I've been listening to this

389
00:28:36.839 --> 00:28:42.960
uh podcast called the Bones Bones Booth
where they recap episodes. So sometimes I

390
00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:48.279
will rewatch the episode that I'm listening
to, but not all the time,

391
00:28:48.359 --> 00:28:52.039
so I'm not like rewatching again the
whole thing. But I did rewatch one

392
00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:59.079
episode of Bones because I have problems. So yeah. But all this to

393
00:28:59.119 --> 00:29:03.400
say that many time in the shows, the like super intelligent serial killers,

394
00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:07.160
like ten steps ahead of the yeah, people investigating him, and this that's

395
00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:12.759
not real life. In real life, they are just men. At least

396
00:29:12.839 --> 00:29:17.680
fifteen women had been attacked and killed, and still the police had nothing.

397
00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:22.759
There was nothing connecting the women other
than where they lived, which could be

398
00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:26.839
a clue itself. According to Criminal
Minds, it should have been a clue.

399
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:29.880
They should have been like, we're
looking for someone that lives here in

400
00:29:29.920 --> 00:29:33.680
this neighborhood, someone nearby. He
might be able to fly. I'm just

401
00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:41.960
kidding. We're looking for a flying
man. He might have things in a

402
00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:45.160
case, he might be bela Lugosi. I don't know. He does resemble

403
00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:52.240
Dracula for women of all social classes
and ages were being attacked. Neighbors formed

404
00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:56.160
groups with shotguns, knives, and
steaks and would go searching for the vampire.

405
00:29:56.519 --> 00:30:00.599
Priests were brought in to bless and
protect homes from the vampire, and

406
00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:06.680
people began buying giant crucifixes for their
homes. Finally, in nineteen fifty nine,

407
00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:11.279
local Montero's police asked federal police for
assistance in the case. Federal police

408
00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:15.200
mapped out the previous honestly, took
them too long, Yeah, it did

409
00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:18.839
take them too long. The federal
police mapped out the previous crime scenes and

410
00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:23.200
realized that they were all within a
specific radius, which happened to include the

411
00:30:23.240 --> 00:30:27.640
cave Flordenzio lived in. Police decided
to monitor the area and set up in

412
00:30:27.720 --> 00:30:32.720
operation to lure the vampire. Three
months after his last crime, he went

413
00:30:32.759 --> 00:30:37.000
back out to look for his next
victim. As he was about to climb

414
00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:41.720
into a woman's house, police that
were monitoring the area caught him and chased

415
00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:45.279
him back to his cave, where
he was arrested. He was twenty five.

416
00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:48.079
Damn, he was young, super
young. Yeah. Yeah. Police

417
00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:52.880
were relieved to see that they weren't
dealing with an actual vampire, just a

418
00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:57.319
mortal man. Yeah, though it
freaked them out when Flordenzio screamed as a

419
00:30:57.400 --> 00:31:03.799
light shined on his face to his
photophobia. I bet at that moment they

420
00:31:03.799 --> 00:31:07.759
were like, oh, wait,
is he he might he might be bring

421
00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:11.000
the garlic, the cross, put
the cross in his face, throwing water

422
00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:17.079
at him. Wait does that work
up? Empires? Holy water remembers on

423
00:31:17.160 --> 00:31:19.400
what you're reading. Okay, sometimes
and some stories it does, and other

424
00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:22.880
another one, Oh, you're right
to it, and then they just laugh.

425
00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:26.799
I do remember. Yeah, Oh
my god, this makes me think

426
00:31:26.839 --> 00:31:30.000
of Salem's Lot. Did you ever
read Salem's Low? Or No? I've

427
00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:33.640
never watched the show or the movie. Okay, the book is so scary.

428
00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:37.319
There's a show and a movie and
a book. Sorry. Yeah,

429
00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:45.839
there's a show from like the Stupid
there's a show from like the nineties,

430
00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:48.440
and then two movies. One is
newer and one is older. And I

431
00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:53.960
haven't seen anything about it, although
I've heard like mixed reviews on all the

432
00:31:53.960 --> 00:31:57.839
things you can watch. But the
book horri fine, I'm gonna check that

433
00:31:57.880 --> 00:32:04.119
book out. Yeah, yeah,
there is one part where I'm gonna spoil

434
00:32:04.240 --> 00:32:07.480
things a little bit, but it's
a big book. I love spoilers.

435
00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:12.559
I know. There's a priest and
he is like he loses his faith a

436
00:32:12.599 --> 00:32:14.880
little bit. He's one of those
priests that doesn't really believe in what they're

437
00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:17.440
doing anymore. And they're like,
you really have to believe. You have

438
00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:22.160
to have faith if you're going to
come confront these vampires or whatever. And

439
00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:25.160
so he's like, I can do
this. And he's like confronting one vampire

440
00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:29.799
and they're like they just like laugh
in his face and then basically kill him

441
00:32:29.839 --> 00:32:34.200
after. Oh my, he doesn't
have faith, and it's just so creepy

442
00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:36.680
that he like brings out the cross
and they're just like, you think that's

443
00:32:36.720 --> 00:32:39.720
gonna do something that also? And
I wonder, I'm sorry, I'm like

444
00:32:39.920 --> 00:32:44.200
rambling. I wonder if do you
remember Thirty Days of Night? Oh?

445
00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:45.799
I knew you were gonna say that, because I was just gonna say the

446
00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:50.680
same thing you're about to say right
now. Yeah, you were when this

447
00:32:50.920 --> 00:32:52.400
woman is like, oh my God, please, no God, there's no

448
00:32:52.519 --> 00:32:58.680
God here. That that a moment
scared me so much. That was so

449
00:32:58.799 --> 00:33:01.720
scary. It haunted me for years
after that so much that I haven't watched

450
00:33:01.720 --> 00:33:05.920
that movie. Again, I haven't
either. Sometimes I think about rewatching it

451
00:33:05.960 --> 00:33:07.599
and I'm like, man, this
is one of the movies that really creep

452
00:33:07.640 --> 00:33:10.440
me out. Yeah, and I'm
sure now I won't scare me as much.

453
00:33:10.880 --> 00:33:15.640
Yeah, but I also love the
main character, Josh Harnett, the

454
00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:19.000
main actor. Yeah, I would
rewatch it for him. So I'm like,

455
00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:22.799
I should rewatch it. Yeah,
yeah, we should rewatch it together.

456
00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:27.200
Actually, let's wait. Oh yeah, there's strengthen numbers and we can

457
00:33:27.240 --> 00:33:30.400
watch it together. It'll be less
scared. Yeah. Yeah, And you

458
00:33:30.400 --> 00:33:35.400
know what, I'm curious to know
if we're just babies about this specific movie

459
00:33:35.519 --> 00:33:37.480
scared anyone else as much as it
did. I'll run a pole when this

460
00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:43.079
episode comes out, Okay, on
Instagram to let us know, because I

461
00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:45.440
love to find out. That's what
the vibes. Yeah, I almost wonder

462
00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:51.599
if that moment and three Days of
Night was maybe inspired by Simone's loot.

463
00:33:51.960 --> 00:33:55.880
Maybe it's a little related. Yeah, very creepy, same vibes be anyway,

464
00:33:55.960 --> 00:34:00.079
Sorry we went a little off track
here, let's yeah, okay.

465
00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:06.319
And then as police searched the cave, they found that this was actually Floadincio's

466
00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:10.360
home. Florentio was sent to a
psychiatrist before his trial and was diagnosed with

467
00:34:10.360 --> 00:34:16.559
schizophrenia and photophobia. He probably never
even has h antisocial personality disorder. No,

468
00:34:16.719 --> 00:34:22.119
probably just those two things. Yeah, because I mean if I thought

469
00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:27.639
the first like signs of schizophrenia showed
up like in like teenage years, but

470
00:34:29.039 --> 00:34:31.920
I mean there's probably different manifestations.
I'm as who mean, but like if

471
00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:35.719
they don't know what they're dealing with
and they're uncontrolled, Yeah, he could

472
00:34:35.719 --> 00:34:40.400
have been like showing these like aggressive
behaviors that scared his family and then they

473
00:34:40.440 --> 00:34:46.800
abandoned him. Yeah. Florencia was
also subjected to an exorcism, as locals

474
00:34:46.800 --> 00:34:52.599
believed he was possessed. Hmmm,
that doesn't surprise me. Yeah. The

475
00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:57.519
fact that enforcement like agreed to do
it, or like law enforcement agreed to

476
00:34:57.519 --> 00:35:00.760
do it is like a little silly, I guess. Yeah, it was,

477
00:35:01.239 --> 00:35:07.440
uh in this timeframe, the nineteen
fifties or sixties. Yeah, I'm

478
00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:10.079
like, okay, I could see
it happening, but I'm like why still

479
00:35:10.599 --> 00:35:15.519
Yeah. Yeah, he was declared
unfit for trial by way of insanity and

480
00:35:15.639 --> 00:35:20.239
was taken to a mental institution.
He died eight years later in nineteen sixty

481
00:35:20.280 --> 00:35:23.800
seven at that mental Institution of Natural
Causes. There's a rumor that he never

482
00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:29.239
stopped believing he was a vampire and
was killed while trying to buy another patient.

483
00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:32.760
Well that's sad, yeah, obviously, I mean horrible. He killed

484
00:35:32.800 --> 00:35:36.960
so many people, but it didn't
need to happen, like, yeah,

485
00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:42.599
like maybe it could have been prevented
had he received the right treatment and been

486
00:35:43.039 --> 00:35:45.360
instead of being shunned by his family, been supported through it, you know.

487
00:35:46.320 --> 00:35:52.000
Yeah, and then if they had
again any financial ability to continue paying

488
00:35:52.039 --> 00:35:57.400
for the medication, not even continue
they didn't even ever have it. Yeah,

489
00:35:57.440 --> 00:36:00.760
they never had it. Yeah,
So yeah, just very tragic and

490
00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:04.239
like, yeah, it could have
been prevented, lives could have been safe.

491
00:36:04.320 --> 00:36:08.639
Yeah, but yeah, I'm just
horrifying. Yeah, yeah, I

492
00:36:08.639 --> 00:36:17.880
guess that's the end of our episode. All right, any spooky recommendations,

493
00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:25.360
No, because I have been doing
nothing but listening to the Bones Booth podcast

494
00:36:27.400 --> 00:36:32.039
in my free time. Or yeah, I started rewatching Criminal Minds, which

495
00:36:32.079 --> 00:36:36.880
can be a speaker recommendation. There's
some creepy episodes in there. Yeah,

496
00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:42.119
yeah, did you ever listen to
that Criminal Minds? Rewatch podcast. Yes,

497
00:36:42.320 --> 00:36:45.719
I have not gotten past season one
though, because I forgot about it.

498
00:36:45.960 --> 00:36:51.239
Oh okay, but I love it. Yeah, it's funny. I

499
00:36:51.239 --> 00:36:55.000
love rewatch podcasts as maybe people might
have guessed I'm not. But that's another

500
00:36:55.000 --> 00:36:59.840
really good one. Yeah. Their
song is so funny too, a white

501
00:36:59.800 --> 00:37:07.159
man Ala Schmidt from New Girl.
Yeah, hilarious. Yeah. I also

502
00:37:07.199 --> 00:37:12.920
don't have a spooky recommendation because I'm
so watching Supernatural. I do have an

503
00:37:12.920 --> 00:37:16.480
email from someone who sent in a
spooky recommendation. Ooh, and that was

504
00:37:16.599 --> 00:37:21.679
new But I welcome it. I
do. Yeah, because we because we're

505
00:37:21.719 --> 00:37:24.840
gonna keep you watching the same stuff, like, so send your recommendations.

506
00:37:24.840 --> 00:37:31.639
You're spooky recommendations. Yeah, let
me see. So I'm not gonna read

507
00:37:31.679 --> 00:37:36.360
their story, but I do have
did I open the run email? Oh

508
00:37:36.480 --> 00:37:38.599
okay, I have. They send
an email and then send a second email.

509
00:37:38.639 --> 00:37:42.480
I'm going to read the second email
because that's not the story. So

510
00:37:43.239 --> 00:37:45.599
thank you, Gracie. She said, Hi, y'all again, this is

511
00:37:45.599 --> 00:37:49.119
not a story but a spooky recommendation. I'm an avid reader, and I

512
00:37:49.360 --> 00:37:54.119
just read this book called Candelaria by
Melissa Losada Oliva. I've heard of that,

513
00:37:54.519 --> 00:38:00.840
have you I have not. Yeah. Yeah, she's a Colombia Guatemalian

514
00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:06.119
writer poets. This book is based
off a poem she wrote about a nana

515
00:38:06.280 --> 00:38:10.960
in oh In Apocalypse, sorry,
that was a struggle to a lot of

516
00:38:10.960 --> 00:38:15.320
words. There are a lot of
yeah, yeah, our letters, I

517
00:38:15.320 --> 00:38:17.519
guess, not words. Anytime I
have to read Apocalypse, I'm going to

518
00:38:17.559 --> 00:38:23.800
struggle. Yeah. It's also about
family and belonging and love. It's a

519
00:38:23.800 --> 00:38:27.960
great book, but it's spooky and
Corey and then she said, I just

520
00:38:28.000 --> 00:38:34.119
wanted to be part of the spooky
recommendations this week, and I love it.

521
00:38:34.159 --> 00:38:37.880
I love it. I will welcome
all spooky recommendations. This sounds like

522
00:38:37.719 --> 00:38:43.639
a book I would love. Yeah, so it does. Add let's read

523
00:38:43.679 --> 00:38:46.159
it and not add it to the
list because it takes so so long to

524
00:38:46.199 --> 00:38:49.840
get through the list. You could
just read it and then we could add

525
00:38:49.880 --> 00:38:54.079
it on and later, you know, we should add it on to after

526
00:38:54.239 --> 00:39:00.079
Vampires of Orte, which is our
current book club read. I have not

527
00:39:00.199 --> 00:39:04.920
sent out the mass email announcing it
yet because we still have to record a

528
00:39:05.039 --> 00:39:07.840
normal book club episode. Yeah,
yeah, but we're gonna do that,

529
00:39:07.920 --> 00:39:10.079
which we will actually do. Yeah, we will actually do it this week.

530
00:39:10.119 --> 00:39:16.400
Before we forget even more about what
we read read it. Yeah,

531
00:39:16.519 --> 00:39:19.519
yeah, but I will, we'll
do that. We'll do that. And

532
00:39:19.639 --> 00:39:22.360
yeah, our current book is Vampires
Vent Northe and maybe we'll add that as

533
00:39:22.400 --> 00:39:28.119
the book after you know that recommendation. It sounds fascinating. I love apocalyptic

534
00:39:28.239 --> 00:39:31.119
stories and shows. Yeah, and
shows and movies I'm just kidding, and

535
00:39:31.119 --> 00:39:35.559
all zombie things. There's another book
I wanted to add to the It's in

536
00:39:35.639 --> 00:39:38.280
the list. We have a list
of a Google talk with all the books

537
00:39:38.280 --> 00:39:40.960
that I'm like, I've been added
on. But Tender is the Flesh.

538
00:39:42.159 --> 00:39:46.159
Oh, it's one that I want
to read eventually to if anyone I listen

539
00:39:46.320 --> 00:39:52.079
to the Susto episode about Yeah,
that's what I was gonna mention just now,

540
00:39:52.159 --> 00:39:54.159
like, I don't you should be
listening to Susto if you're not,

541
00:39:54.920 --> 00:39:58.800
I know a lot of our listeners
do. Yeah, Maddie, Yeah,

542
00:39:58.960 --> 00:40:00.960
but yeah, he aiden read it
and he did a review, like a

543
00:40:01.000 --> 00:40:06.519
spoiler free review. I feel like
that's hard. It is hard. I

544
00:40:06.559 --> 00:40:09.960
can't do it. I couldn't do
it. Spoiling things. Yeah, we

545
00:40:10.920 --> 00:40:19.840
love spoiling things and talking, so
yeah, we're gonna spoil things. But

546
00:40:19.920 --> 00:40:22.320
he did one, and so if
anyone wants to like get an idea of

547
00:40:22.360 --> 00:40:25.400
the book, that would be an
amazing thing to listen to to do that.

548
00:40:25.719 --> 00:40:28.519
But yeah, that is on our
list. I really want to read

549
00:40:28.559 --> 00:40:35.440
it because I think it's posts up
apocalyptic sort of too. I think it's

550
00:40:35.519 --> 00:40:39.239
dystopian dystopian. Thank you that I
confused the too. Yeah yeah, I

551
00:40:39.280 --> 00:40:44.840
feel like dys is what happens after
the world ending event, you know what

552
00:40:44.920 --> 00:40:49.119
I mean? So oh yeah,
yeah that makes sense. Yeah, good

553
00:40:49.159 --> 00:40:52.159
point. That's why you're the one
with the degree, not me exactly.

554
00:40:52.559 --> 00:41:00.480
I am an educated Latina and educated
latinam yes, so yeah, this brings

555
00:41:00.519 --> 00:41:02.000
us to the end of the episode. Thank you so much for listening.

556
00:41:02.519 --> 00:41:07.800
Thank you. Oh also thank you
to everyone first leaving reviews, but second

557
00:41:07.079 --> 00:41:09.920
interacting with us, like on the
Spotify, like what you think of that

558
00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:14.719
episode? Those are always fun to
look at and post unless you are mean

559
00:41:14.760 --> 00:41:15.920
in them. I don't post them. I just read it though, I

560
00:41:15.960 --> 00:41:22.880
read everything. So yeah, thank
you for everyone for that. And I

561
00:41:22.880 --> 00:41:25.840
hope to be a little more active
on Instagram one day. I always forget

562
00:41:25.880 --> 00:41:29.199
to post things and then I'm like, oh I should post this, and

563
00:41:29.199 --> 00:41:32.519
then yeah, I feel you on
that one. From our other podcasts.

564
00:41:32.599 --> 00:41:37.400
The place I'm most active is TikTok. But sometimes I will dis ignore TikTok

565
00:41:37.440 --> 00:41:40.840
for days because I'm something a comment
annoys me and then I don't look at

566
00:41:40.880 --> 00:41:45.840
it for days. And I for
the spooky Tales TikTok. I post things

567
00:41:45.880 --> 00:41:52.440
for Estoya's Unknown and as Spooky Tales. Sometimes like right wingers will find my

568
00:41:52.599 --> 00:41:57.280
history stuff and just like Bombard,
oh wow, so like us say,

569
00:41:57.320 --> 00:42:00.000
you wus say? And then I
like, I need to stop taking so

570
00:42:00.039 --> 00:42:05.320
personal and like repine, yeah,
oh yeah, yeah, that's the biggest

571
00:42:05.360 --> 00:42:09.239
issue. But apparently I'm like rambling. Now there's a thing called a rejection

572
00:42:09.360 --> 00:42:16.519
sensitivity dysphoria. Oh you definitely have
that. Oh I was where was I

573
00:42:16.639 --> 00:42:21.239
reading about that? I forgot where
I was and I was like, damn,

574
00:42:21.280 --> 00:42:25.039
that's Christina, Like how you crying
when Mammy would give you a look.

575
00:42:28.960 --> 00:42:31.320
That's why I'm starting to think I
don't actually don't have ANDHD, well,

576
00:42:31.360 --> 00:42:37.400
not everyone with the the experiences or
st and I only experienced it when

577
00:42:37.400 --> 00:42:40.400
it comes to our mother and like
certain things, not every little thing,

578
00:42:40.559 --> 00:42:45.440
but like reviews is a or nasty
comments I will literally not open a nap

579
00:42:45.559 --> 00:42:50.079
for like a week because someone left. And I did do that though,

580
00:42:50.239 --> 00:42:57.559
when we were bombarded after posting that
thing about the creepy man about the men

581
00:42:57.760 --> 00:43:01.360
dating teenagers, and all of the
disgusting men came out of the woodwork to

582
00:43:01.440 --> 00:43:07.360
defend this disgusting behavior, and I
ended up deleting because of a few of

583
00:43:07.400 --> 00:43:12.599
them commented on other things on other
posts, and then I had pictures.

584
00:43:12.679 --> 00:43:15.519
We had pictures on there, like
of like your kids and like whatever,

585
00:43:15.599 --> 00:43:20.159
so I deleted those because I was
like I don't want them to see this

586
00:43:20.239 --> 00:43:24.840
at all, or like yeah,
go anywhere near it. And then yeah,

587
00:43:24.840 --> 00:43:29.679
I was horrible. It was like
a whole week long. Yeah I

588
00:43:29.760 --> 00:43:34.239
forgot about Yeah. Yeah, so
it's rough out here for uh, for

589
00:43:34.360 --> 00:43:37.360
me on social media sometimes, I
know, and I think ever since well,

590
00:43:37.400 --> 00:43:40.199
I mean I was really bad at
it before also like keeping up with

591
00:43:40.280 --> 00:43:47.880
posts for no one, and I'm
even worse now. So yeah, so

592
00:43:47.880 --> 00:43:51.599
sometimes I'm like, I'm gonna be
more active so interact with everyone, but

593
00:43:51.599 --> 00:43:54.119
then I'm like, I don't I
do message people back fast they messages bookis

594
00:43:54.159 --> 00:43:57.719
I'm sure they've noticed, but yeah, I don't know why this started,

595
00:43:57.800 --> 00:44:00.920
but yeah, we're supposed to be
