9
00:00:36,399 --> 00:00:38,719
how long we're going to be doing
this, but I just I like long

10
00:00:38,799 --> 00:00:42,920
episodes and sometimes one spooky story is
just it's not enough, you know.

11
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,280
I feel, you know, I
feel we're gonna keep doing this until we

00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:54,600
get recognized as the Latinati m version
of And that's why we drink yes uh

13
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:00,119
And I have a true crime case
from Argentina. MJ. What are you

14
00:01:00,119 --> 00:01:03,799
you have today? I had multiple
links today and I didn't know what to

15
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,079
pick because at first I started ghost
stories, but then I was like,

16
00:01:06,359 --> 00:01:11,120
how about I continue doing state lore, like from Okay, Mexico. So

17
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:19,560
I found a few from Hallischool instead
of Sakka's this time. Okay, So

18
00:01:19,719 --> 00:01:22,840
I found some really good ones that
I don't think we've covered on here.

19
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:29,000
So I'm excited we'll find out.
I hope we have it, because I

20
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,120
don't remember any of these. But
that's not an indicator. That's not an

21
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,840
indication that we didn't cover it.
We never. That doesn't mean anything.

22
00:01:38,599 --> 00:01:42,040
But before we get to all of
that, Kerman has a listeners story for

23
00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:45,879

it happen, all right. So this

29
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,439
is from a listener. They said, Hey, I recently started listening to

30
00:02:10,439 --> 00:02:14,800
your podcast on my drive to work
and really enjoy it. I thought I

31
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,680
would share my mom's story with you
guys. This story takes place in the

32
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:23,759
small town of Buruandido. My mom
is the second oldest of eleven children.

33
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,599
So about thirty five years ago,
when my mom had already moved to the

34
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,039
States with my dad, she decided
it was time to go visit her family

35
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,199
in Mexico. They were out there
for a couple of days, and my

36
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,800
oldest sister, who was about five
at the time, also went. During

37
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,000
the week, my mom, her
sisters, and her sister in law got

38
00:02:42,039 --> 00:02:46,800
bored and they decided to play with
the Luiji board. Of course, they

39
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:52,000
got in contact with the spirit of
a little boy who had become decapitated in

40
00:02:52,039 --> 00:02:54,719
a car accident. His head was
never found. They would talk to the

41
00:02:54,719 --> 00:02:59,759
spirit of the little boy and asking
random questions. The last night before my

42
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,800
parents were supposed to fly back to
the States, my mom and aunts decided

43
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:07,680
to play one last time. It
was riding outside and my dad had gone

44
00:03:07,719 --> 00:03:10,520
out with my uncles to get drunk. While my mom and aunts were playing

45
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:15,800
with Luigi, they heard their dog
barking and running back and forth down the

46
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,960
hall. Now, if you guys
have been to Mexico, you'll understand that

47
00:03:19,199 --> 00:03:23,240
the way the houses are built are
completely different to the ones here. My

48
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,879
grandmother's house where they were playing had
a partial roof, and the hallway led

49
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,159
up to what was called the corral
where the bathroom was, and was also

50
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,319
dark as fuck. So the dog
kept running up and down the hall.

51
00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:38,199
He would stop. No, they
use that word again, Oh, no,

52
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:44,000
stop whatever whatever that is. The
dog kept running up and down the

53
00:03:44,039 --> 00:03:46,560
hall. He would stop, or
right where the light ended leading to the

54
00:03:46,639 --> 00:03:53,319
corral. My sorry, okay.
My mom says she heard the dog start

55
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,479
crying and he beat and he came
barking at the door to where they were.

56
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,759
The dog was obviously scared and wanted
to go in the room, so

57
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,800
my aunt opens the door and lets
the dog in. So the aunt let

58
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:09,199
the dog in, and then she's
looking towards the kora to see what the

59
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,520
dog was barking at. Down the
hallway. My grandmother had a lot of

60
00:04:12,599 --> 00:04:15,920
plants and vases lined up against the
wall. My aunt is still looking when

61
00:04:15,959 --> 00:04:20,639
she suddenly turns pale. She tells
my mom go to that inn. I

62
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:25,240
see a little boy in diapers and
he's hiding behind one of the vases.

63
00:04:25,879 --> 00:04:32,959
He doesn't hat, sorry, he
doesn't have a head. No, I'm

64
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:39,240
sorry. I can't keep reading this
the sister Scaray. My mom says that

65
00:04:39,319 --> 00:04:42,319
to this day when she saw my
aunt, she still remembers how pale my

66
00:04:42,399 --> 00:04:46,519
aunt got and also noticed the little
hairs on her arms stand up. My

67
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:51,920
mom then tells my aunt, no, I'm not looking at that same they

68
00:04:51,959 --> 00:04:56,199
finally shut the door and decided to
put the Ouiji board inside the door.

69
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,600
They went to better frightened, but
my mom had to leave early in the

70
00:04:59,639 --> 00:05:01,839
morning to catch her flight. Throughout
the night, my mom and aunt said

71
00:05:01,879 --> 00:05:05,120
they could hear the dog crying,
like if he could see something they couldn't.

72
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:13,319
They were afraid. Early in the
morning, around three am, my

73
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,319
mom wakes up and they're saying they're
goodbye to her family. It's still raining

74
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,199
and there's a taxi waiting outside for
my parents and sister. While my parents

75
00:05:20,199 --> 00:05:24,720
are loading up the luggage and my
aunt goes outside to say goodbye. She's

76
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,240
standing at the door with my uncle
when she notices a little boy in the

77
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,720
front seat. My aunt then asks
my uncle, why does that man have

78
00:05:31,879 --> 00:05:35,240
the little boy with him this early. My uncle looks but sees in no

79
00:05:35,319 --> 00:05:39,439
one and tells my aunt, there's
no one there. You're crazy. At

80
00:05:39,439 --> 00:05:42,600
this point, my sister's already in
the taxi, and she also tells my

81
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,040
mom once they get to the airport
that she had seen a little boy in

82
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,079
the front seat. Fast forward a
couple days later, my mom calls my

83
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:54,399
grandmother to check in with her.
When my grandma starts telling my mom ganda

84
00:05:54,439 --> 00:05:59,639
nasustandoa tu seramanas you guys shouldn't have
been playing with that ouiji. My mom

85
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,480
also notice things all off after they
played with it. Anyways, that's the

86
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,199
end of the story. Every time
I go visit my family in Mexico,

87
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:10,439
my aunt's always tell us a story
that's scary. You know, it's worse

88
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,600
too, Like I'm saying, it's
open, So if it's an duntal,

89
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:18,879
it's open into like nothingness at night. Yeah, that's even worse. That's

90
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:23,439
even worse. Like like I like, I wish I could tell people like

91
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:29,160
a lot of these junials barely have
electricity and internet. Dark's dark. It

92
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,600
is extremely dark, and like,
yeah, I would die with that like

93
00:06:33,759 --> 00:06:36,399
level of like I mean, unless
maybe the moon's out, But I don't

94
00:06:36,399 --> 00:06:40,959
think that would help much because you
could probably have like you know, hills

95
00:06:40,959 --> 00:06:44,319
and hills and hills for miles and
miles and miles, and your nearest neighbor

96
00:06:44,439 --> 00:06:47,519
might be far away. No,
no, wow. Also, the little

97
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:56,079
boy took the taxi, so did
he go home with with the mom?

98
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,959
Oh my god. No. It
was like an attachment. That's even worse.

99
00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:03,040
But then they kept scaring the ants, so are haunting them? So

100
00:07:03,319 --> 00:07:06,720
maybe I feel like every phone call
after that and be like, well,

101
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:12,439
guess what because of you, they're
still scaring your sisters. Look what you

102
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,800
did. You just came here to
start a haunting. Like, thanks,

103
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:20,600
thanks a lot, don't come back, or if you come back, take

104
00:07:20,639 --> 00:07:25,600
this thing with you, take it
with you. That's that's no, that's

105
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:30,920
a no, no, no,
thank you. Okay. So I have

106
00:07:30,279 --> 00:07:35,040
one hold on one, two,
three, four stories, so they're pretty

107
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:40,439
small. But I've never heard of
these and I hope we didn't go over

108
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,360
them. There was like two episodes
we've done that you were not a part

109
00:07:44,399 --> 00:07:47,720
of. What we talked about was
hada, I think, so sop Okay,

110
00:07:47,759 --> 00:07:51,759
did you guys do the legend of
the pile of snakes? No?

111
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,839
I may have talked about it on
TikTok before, but not here. So

112
00:07:57,079 --> 00:08:01,560
in Talapa, there is a fountain
or base in with four snakes carved and

113
00:08:01,639 --> 00:08:05,759
stone from which the jets of water
come out. And according to this legend,

114
00:08:05,639 --> 00:08:09,079
the snakes were four co madres of
the village who used to gossip about

115
00:08:09,079 --> 00:08:16,439
people in the nineteenth century. They
were known as as Maria's Linguist and Maria

116
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,399
Linguist, Yeah, Maria's Linguis.
They used to gather at the fountain and

117
00:08:20,439 --> 00:08:24,639
one day El Indio Macario, like
I was reading this in English, it

118
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:31,279
was like Macarius and it's Mai warned
them not to continue with the habit of

119
00:08:31,319 --> 00:08:35,799
speaking ill of people. They laughed
and insulted him, and Macario drank water

120
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,759
from the fountain, splashed the four
ladies with the water, which I'm guessing

121
00:08:39,879 --> 00:08:43,279
like spit it on them, and
cursed them in the Ottomi language. The

122
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:48,679
four Maria lingois began to twist in
two stone serpents sticking to each side of

123
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:56,000
the fountain, and that's how supposedly
these snakes came to be the stone snakes.

124
00:08:56,159 --> 00:09:01,799
I've heard this before, Yeah,
I don't know. Sometimes she's mossas

125
00:09:01,799 --> 00:09:05,279
it doesn't go well for us.
And in the paranormal, because there's another

126
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:11,919
legend it's like but it's and apparently
part of the legend is that if you're

127
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,559
a gossiping, if you're a she's
massa. She's Musca. That got it,

128
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:22,919
that's gonna get you. Please let
us she's mossas be. I like,

129
00:09:22,039 --> 00:09:24,399
I like what's it called? I
like knowing the tea. I don't

130
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,639
like being in the tea though,
Like I don't like being part of the

131
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,600
tea. Yeah, so I'll hear
all of it and I'll tell somebody,

132
00:09:31,639 --> 00:09:35,720
but I won't, like, I
don't want to be involved. Yeah,

133
00:09:35,879 --> 00:09:39,240
it's like what's it called? Those
the stories when you see something, your

134
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,600
neighbors doing something, you start vacuuming
the grass. It's like, what are

135
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:48,799
just vacuuming my grass? Washing the
rain? Don't don't worry about it.

136
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,480
Didn't go well for these Madias though. No, okay, so the next

137
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,600
story is the Death Clock, and
I kind of feel like we cover this,

138
00:09:58,759 --> 00:10:01,759
but I'm not sure. Oh yeah, yeah, we did. It's

139
00:10:01,759 --> 00:10:09,720
in right, yeah, yes,
okay, So the next one, okay,

140
00:10:09,759 --> 00:10:13,320
we'll go to the next one,
the Treasure of Colombo. We recover

141
00:10:13,399 --> 00:10:16,639
that one. It's not like Columbus, like Christopher Columbus. It's just a

142
00:10:16,639 --> 00:10:20,480
guy named Colombo. It is said
that in the south of Jalisco, in

143
00:10:20,519 --> 00:10:28,080
the caves of the Nevado the Colomba
lived a series of bandits with Colombo as

144
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:33,559
their reference. What does that mean. I'm guessing like like their their group

145
00:10:33,639 --> 00:10:37,200
name was Colombo. Okay, okay, But I feel like also like from

146
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:41,879
the story that I read that Colombo
was also like the name of the leader.

147
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:46,960
Okay okay. This was a skilled
thief who managed to amass an incredible

148
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:54,799
fortune by stealing from those who had
made their fortune illicitly. So I'm guessing

149
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,799
he's like he was like some kind
of like a like a Robin Hood.

150
00:10:56,879 --> 00:11:03,080
Yeah, like a Robin Hood type
figure. And the problem arose when Colombo's

151
00:11:03,159 --> 00:11:07,159
daughter fell in love with another bandit, something that infuriated her father. It

152
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:11,639
is said that they fought to the
death and the treasure was abandoned. And

153
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,720
now for like people who want to
like go to the caves and stuff.

154
00:11:15,759 --> 00:11:18,879
So maybe you know, it's the
legends that the caves are always always have

155
00:11:18,919 --> 00:11:24,960
treasure. Wait, where are these
caves in the south of Jalisco and the

156
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,879
caves of Nevado. Oh, that's
right, Okay, So then I'm just

157
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:35,200
I'm taking notes so we can go
find it. You know, they would

158
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,159
have been fine if he just didn't
fight over fight to the death with his

159
00:11:39,399 --> 00:11:43,480
daughter's partner. But if I was
his daughter, I'd be like, what

160
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:48,279
treasure is? Right now? True? Oh? What is it called?

161
00:11:48,279 --> 00:11:52,639
Like like when when something happens,
like I'd rather cry in a like a

162
00:11:52,759 --> 00:11:56,879
Mercedes than on the street. They
say, yeah, they say money doesn't

163
00:11:56,879 --> 00:12:00,039
bring happiness, but like I would
be pretty happy crying and like, I

164
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,279
don't know, imagine I'd rather crying. Imasion more rooms to cry in?

165
00:12:03,519 --> 00:12:09,759
Yes please? Yes? Okay.
So the next uh, this next story

166
00:12:09,919 --> 00:12:13,639
is called the Giants of Tala And
I don't know if you guys ever heard

167
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:20,720
the Giants I had sounds familiar because
I talked about it on TikTok. Yeah,

168
00:12:20,759 --> 00:12:26,600
there's a lot of myths about like
giants in Mexico and videos allegedly that

169
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:33,000
are real quote unquote real. I
think they There was like a like a

170
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:41,320
a video of a giant humanoid human
thing coming out of a cave in Mexico

171
00:12:41,039 --> 00:12:43,639
that went pretty viral. But I
don't, like, I don't know how

172
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,440
real, Like I don't believe it's
real, but it was. It went

173
00:12:46,519 --> 00:12:54,080
viral. Yeah, so The story
of Tala has its origins in New Spain.

174
00:12:54,320 --> 00:13:00,200
Apparently when Jalisco was known as New
Galicia. Yes, Nova Galicia.

175
00:13:00,279 --> 00:13:03,240
We just talked about it on easton
isn't known. It was mentioned that there

176
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:09,039
were giants in it after the flood, and the historians of the time reported

177
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:13,039
that when they were twenty years old, fifty years before the Spaniards entered New

178
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:18,320
Spain, up to thirty men appeared
in the valleys of Taala, who in

179
00:13:18,399 --> 00:13:24,480
the Mexica language were called juannamethin hui
nametin I can't pronounce, I'm sorry,

180
00:13:24,519 --> 00:13:31,279
guys, which means giants in their
language, and twenty seven were males and

181
00:13:31,399 --> 00:13:35,799
three were females, and their bodies
were thirty five feet tall, according to

182
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:41,559
the measurements made by father Viaseca,
a famous sculpture, and he observed this

183
00:13:41,639 --> 00:13:46,720
when their bodies were apparently dug up. Arriving at the towns of Tala,

184
00:13:46,879 --> 00:13:52,679
they stopped at the swamps that today
are called Los Guissillos, a sienda that

185
00:13:52,720 --> 00:14:01,799
belonged to the zeldon Apodaca. They
live in there like beasts, except in

186
00:14:01,879 --> 00:14:05,080
the rainy season, when they had
huts so they that they could sleep and

187
00:14:05,159 --> 00:14:11,440
keep warm lying down. They were
lazy and glutinous, and with their ferocity

188
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:16,559
they held captive the indigenous people of
the valley and forced them to sustain them.

189
00:14:16,639 --> 00:14:20,240
So I don't know if it meant
like like eighth indigenous people or like

190
00:14:20,279 --> 00:14:26,759
the indigenous people had to like cultivate
and bring them you know, fruits and

191
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:33,879
vegetables and whatnot. Both maybe both. Maybe. With such frightful guests,

192
00:14:33,919 --> 00:14:39,120
the indigenous people depopulated their villages and
withdrew to other provinces. And as the

193
00:14:39,159 --> 00:14:45,919
giants found themselves alone and were lazy
and eaters of their own, they fainted

194
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,399
from a lack of food, and
twenty six died. They buried each other

195
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,639
and covered the bodies with lime.
So that was interesting, like the the

196
00:14:54,679 --> 00:15:01,360
burials, and they mean lime like
the like limestone like oh okay, not

197
00:15:01,519 --> 00:15:05,320
like not only okay, thank you, okay, because I was on that

198
00:15:05,399 --> 00:15:11,000
tree. Yes, what is called
the Is it a mineral? What is

199
00:15:11,039 --> 00:15:16,960
it? Like? Yeah, like
a limestone? Yeah, I think it

200
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:20,840
is a mineral, like the lime
that gets built up in your showers and

201
00:15:20,559 --> 00:15:24,879
okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, I think Okay. The giants who

202
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:31,000
remained continued to take advantage of the
indigenous people. So tired of the abuse,

203
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:35,720
indigenous people gathered a group of more
than twenty thousand people and went to

204
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:41,480
the valley of at the Mehak where
they found the giants grazing on herbs and

205
00:15:41,559 --> 00:15:46,399
roots and killed them. And at
the fame of this victory and a lot

206
00:15:46,399 --> 00:15:52,759
of people like flock, so like
people were coming to see the dead giants.

207
00:15:54,279 --> 00:15:58,919
And but but they say that like
nobody approached the dead giants just in

208
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:06,200
case. So this was like apparently
a story that was told to the Spanish

209
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:11,399
when when they exhumed the bodies and
the indigenous people told the story to the

210
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:15,600
Spanish. Wow, there's always legends
about giants in Mexico. I gotta find

211
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:21,159
the video. Let me see it
was on TikTok. I see m Yeah,

212
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:26,519
and then I did read back when
I talked about it on TikTok that

213
00:16:26,559 --> 00:16:33,440
one. There's a couple of explanations
for the giants. One is that people

214
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:38,799
of indigenous people found mammoth bones.
Yeah, and they created stories to explain

215
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:44,480
the giant bones, not knowing they
were about the bones. There's another story

216
00:16:44,559 --> 00:16:48,440
though, that the people, the
indigenous people that were in this area were

217
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:55,840
short people they were short and then
like giant giants from like not giants,

218
00:16:55,960 --> 00:17:03,840
that's in real giants, but gigantic
tall people from like meatro Gun were traveling

219
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:08,519
and they the groups encountered each other
and fought, and the shorties were like,

220
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:14,119
these are clearly giants. Okay,
I sent you guys to videos of

221
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:18,799
supposedly giants. Okay, Mexico,
But there's like so many stories of giants

222
00:17:18,799 --> 00:17:26,160
in North America too. Indigenous people
here in the United States also had stories

223
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:30,440
of giants, redheaded giants. It
looks like someone dressed up in a cloak,

224
00:17:32,279 --> 00:17:38,920
red headed giants from No, they're
here and uh oh here in the

225
00:17:40,039 --> 00:17:44,000
United States, there's legends of like
these these. Oh, I think I've

226
00:17:44,039 --> 00:17:48,599
heard I've heard of those. I
forgot what they're called. The top commenting

227
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,880
one of the ones you sent says, a giant in Mexico's anything above five

228
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,839
to five. I'm sorry, but
do you not have friends from each Wakan?

229
00:17:55,960 --> 00:18:00,640
They are tall? No, I
feel like, no, wonder Jessica's

230
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:06,039
family is tall. Yes, yes, that's what they're so tall and they're

231
00:18:06,079 --> 00:18:11,359
from No. Then my grandfather's side, granted, he's like most like European,

232
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,720
like he's not mixed with any Indigenous. It's like you know the span

233
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,400
the Spanish that arrived that never mixed. Oh yeah, you've talked about him

234
00:18:18,799 --> 00:18:22,400
on his side and the family,
they're all like six something sixty six,

235
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,079
like my uncle, like me and
my mom were the shortest people in our

236
00:18:26,079 --> 00:18:32,119
family. And my aunts are like
five eight five nine, and her her

237
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,720
brothers, my uncles are all like
six foot sixty six. It's crazy,

238
00:18:36,279 --> 00:18:38,440
we're just the short ones. I
thought this video from La Blanca was a

239
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,559
witch would quit just like floating on
top or something. I couldn't tell anything

240
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:47,960
on the hill the first video,
Yeah, it looks like a person wearing

241
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:52,640
the costume from Scream just walking up
the hill. Yeah, floating up the

242
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,559
hill. It doesn't look like they're
floating. It looks like they're walking.

243
00:18:56,039 --> 00:18:57,720
Interesting, I think they looks like
they're floating. I don't think so.

244
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,440
Well, A disagree. But also
very tall, Like I mean, I

245
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,599
feel like you can't tell from that
angle how tall they actually are, but

246
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,160
like the houses are in front of
them, and I feel like I could

247
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:17,039
imagine somebody's head popping out of that
the the windows and it would not be

248
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:21,240
like that big. It could also
be like somebody like on stilts if it's

249
00:19:21,279 --> 00:19:25,599
like a flat area somewhere. Yeah. I do have an extra story,

250
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,880
but it's from Reddit. Do you
want me to I don't know if we

251
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,200
covered it, I don't think,
So let's do it. Let's do it

252
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:40,599
because we took away from you what
is that oh, oh my god,

253
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:45,960
and took am minute? Yes,
okay, or like what's it called?

254
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:51,160
What is that thing called? I'm
on dial up over here? Yeah,

255
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:56,279
okay, okay. It says my
experience in Monterrey, Mexico. And this

256
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:02,160
is under subreddit ghost stories, and
it's by you or an open Ledger and

257
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:06,920
it says warning, this post is
long. Whatever. Anyways, through my

258
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,960
younger years seven through twelve, my
mother dated a guy very on and off,

259
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,920
which I think mostly had to do
with him being in the army and

260
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:18,200
staying with his family in Larelo,
Texas whenever he was home either way,

261
00:20:18,279 --> 00:20:23,359
he invited us to visit his cousin's
summer cabin in Monterey, Mexico for a

262
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:27,160
weekend, so we did. The
cabin was very Wrench style, longer in

263
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:32,319
one dimension and shorter in the other, so it was built like an architectural

264
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:38,680
rectangle. Your story is too long
because you feel okay, thanks for sharing

265
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:45,480
that. On one far side of
the building think of this as an a

266
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,599
an aerial view was the kitchen,
and next to it was the living room.

267
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,559
Attached to the living room was a
long, splendor hallway connected to bedrooms

268
00:20:52,599 --> 00:20:57,440
on each side and a bathroom on
one of the sides. The backyard was

269
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:03,799
only accessible through the living room via
a sliding door, and what started as

270
00:21:03,839 --> 00:21:08,079
a bit of the desert floor met
a forest treeline of dead, dying Monterey

271
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:15,359
cypress trees. Meeting the tree line
was an elevated hunting tower which had its

272
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,720
platform meeting the top of a vertical
tree line, prefacing my experience of the

273
00:21:18,759 --> 00:21:23,039
falling information because I believe in being
open minded in the very aspect that and

274
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:27,759
want to tell my story rather than
sell my story. Okay. On our

275
00:21:27,799 --> 00:21:32,680
way to the cabin, my mom's
boyfriend was telling us about a cursed legend

276
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:37,599
of witches of Monterrey. Apparently they
had been haunting the mountainous area for generations

277
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:41,960
and were his childhood's version of la
Clearly he wasn't trying to scare us from

278
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,839
the get go, and me,
being so young, I was eating this

279
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,440
shit up like candy. We got
to the cabin in the late evening,

280
00:21:49,519 --> 00:21:53,599
so we decided to stay in for
the night and watch m Night Shamalan's The

281
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,960
Lady in the Water. I mean, at least he didn't watch Signs,

282
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:06,279
Yeah, because I'd be scared.
After the movie, my mom's boyfriend asked

283
00:22:06,279 --> 00:22:08,480
me to go get something from the
bedroom for him, and I was.

284
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,319
As as I was halfway down the
hallway, he turned the lights off on

285
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,839
me. Let me remind you,
this was a very rural part of Mexico,

286
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,240
so the dark was dark. I'm
sorry, that's rude as fuck.

287
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,079
This was a very rural part of
Mexico, so the dark was dark.

288
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:27,160
So with all the scary stories and
at the time for me, scary movie,

289
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:32,319
I was spooped and froze. My
mom's boyfriend began to make your stereotypical

290
00:22:32,599 --> 00:22:36,039
ghost noises and taunting me to go
deeper into the dark hallway, but I

291
00:22:36,079 --> 00:22:38,359
was so petrified. I remember just
standing there, frozen in fear of Longer

292
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,799
story short, my mother got on
him and he turned the lights back on.

293
00:22:41,839 --> 00:22:45,920
They comforted me, and after a
few apologies, we all went to

294
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,759
bed. I can't remember how I
slept that night, but I honestly wish

295
00:22:49,799 --> 00:22:53,720
I did. The next day,
we did a basic tourist shit went to

296
00:22:53,799 --> 00:22:59,480
a bazaar, embraced the city's beautiful
mountain range, which seemed to hug the

297
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,400
city, authentic Mexican food, and
visited the main hub of the city.

298
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:07,599
When the day was done, we
decided to call it and went back to

299
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:11,319
the cabin. This is important to
me because I remember that the night before

300
00:23:11,319 --> 00:23:15,359
so vividly. You can't remember anything
else about this night other than what I'm

301
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,400
going to write about. I was
in the living room of the cabin,

302
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,640
and remember my mom's boyfriend was there
with me. He asked if I wanted

303
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:26,200
to go up into the hunting terwer
out back with him, and innocently said

304
00:23:26,279 --> 00:23:30,559
yes. I wouldn't trust that bitch
after he pulled the night before. Uh

305
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,680
uh mmm. I remember following him
through the back door of the living room

306
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,799
and remember him walking ahead and turning
back to wave me towards him. I

307
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,160
take it as he was trying to
help me keep up with him and follow

308
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,240
him. I watched him climb the
ladder of the hunting terwer, and then

309
00:23:45,279 --> 00:23:49,160
I heard a voice behind me,
Hey, my name, where are you

310
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:53,200
going? It was my mom's boyfriend
behind me, asking where I was going.

311
00:23:53,599 --> 00:23:56,519
I turned back to look at the
hunting tower along the tree line,

312
00:23:56,519 --> 00:24:00,480
and no one was there. Nothing
was not an animal, not my mother,

313
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:06,599
not a specter, nothing. But
did he in front of her emotioning?

314
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,079
Well, he the boyfriend was in
front of him, motioning to go

315
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:15,680
forward. You had to follow him
into the into the hunting tower. And

316
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:22,839
then who said where are you going? The boyfriend was behind Okay, nod,

317
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:29,880
which makes it like which brings himTo
question was it the boyfriend who was

318
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,200
with him in the living room or
something else or the doppel ganger or the

319
00:24:33,279 --> 00:24:37,759
evil doppling? Yes, damn no. Fast forward to a few years ago.

320
00:24:38,079 --> 00:24:41,960
My now wife and I were still
dating at the time and sharing ghost

321
00:24:41,039 --> 00:24:45,519
experiences. I told her about this
experience and Monterrey, and I will never

322
00:24:45,559 --> 00:24:48,680
forget the cold, pale look on
her face as I told her. She

323
00:24:48,799 --> 00:24:52,680
is from Mexican family as well,
and this legend, of which is the

324
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,680
Monterrey, is very real thing for
her as well. The scary part.

325
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,720
I was telling her the story on
a Friday, and according to what her

326
00:24:57,759 --> 00:25:02,279
family told her growing up, Friday
is a forbidden day to talk about them,

327
00:25:02,319 --> 00:25:06,400
because that's the one day of the
week they're most powerful to keep you

328
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:11,039
home on Friday night. Mm hmm. Apparently they never forget their prey and

329
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:15,279
use that day as a lure towards
what was lost. Initially I saw bullshit,

330
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,720
But I can't begin to express how
many fridays my wife has had to

331
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,599
stop me because I had randomly brought
up the story on a Friday. Maybe

332
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:29,519
it was self conscious. I don't
know. Has anyone experienced something like this.

333
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,359
If not, I still like some
feedback comments, concerns, thank you

334
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,440
for reading my story, and then
somebody coming in it's a Friday, Lol,

335
00:25:41,079 --> 00:25:49,559
a Friday. That's crazy. You
just didn't learn that is terrifying because

336
00:25:49,599 --> 00:25:55,000
like who was he hanging out with
the fucking entire time? Yeah, or

337
00:25:55,119 --> 00:26:00,160
like I don't even know. That's
just terrifying. No, And like what

338
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,599
explains that other than a secret evil
twin? I don't know. That's far

339
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:08,160
fetched to me. That's more because
because like the thing is, it's like,

340
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:12,400
I don't know, that's weird because
the witches are not known for that

341
00:26:12,519 --> 00:26:18,119
kind of behavior. Well, they're
known for mimicking. Oh, so maybe

342
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:23,480
that because like, well, I
guess like in the legends that I've heard

343
00:26:23,519 --> 00:26:27,519
and people like you know that people
tell me they experienced they do shape shift

344
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:33,400
into animals like often pigs, but
then they are like and and PIDs and

345
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:42,279
and and let choose us turkeys.
But they also like make like talk and

346
00:26:42,319 --> 00:26:48,920
mimic things like voices. So I
don't know, like but this was him,

347
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:53,240
This was the boyfriend like history,
so like I don't know, beconin

348
00:26:53,359 --> 00:27:00,599
for him, or maybe the boyfriend
is into some like weird like cult shit.

349
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:04,640
So the real boyfriend was behind him, the behind him, oh so

350
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,720
and asked where he was going because
they were hanging out in the like the

351
00:27:08,759 --> 00:27:12,720
living room. And then the boyfriend's
like, you want to go or I

352
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,279
don't know. Where they were going
was a linger to the hunting tower,

353
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,240
which the only way to get through
it is through the living room. There's

354
00:27:18,279 --> 00:27:22,400
only like one way to get to
it. It was just through the sliding

355
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,559
door in the living room. So
he was like, yeah, let's go,

356
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:26,720
and then the boyfriend was like,
you know, come on, come

357
00:27:26,759 --> 00:27:30,480
on, let's go, like get
up into the tower, into the hunting

358
00:27:30,519 --> 00:27:34,319
tower. But then he heard the
boyfriend behind him say, hey, his

359
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:38,400
name, where are you going?
And he turned back and the boyfriend was

360
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,720
right behind him, and then there
was nobody else in front of him.

361
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:47,759
Oh my god. When you take
out all the detail, I understand.

362
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:52,920
Yeah, it sounds like he was
being lured. Yeah, until like either

363
00:27:52,039 --> 00:27:56,160
the like I don't even know,
like what if it was like being lured

364
00:27:56,200 --> 00:28:02,039
to like the hunting tower, to
be like pushed off or into the forest.

365
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:08,720
Yeah, it's weird. N No, Yeah, I would never go

366
00:28:08,759 --> 00:28:12,680
there ever again. Uh No,
I'm telling you that I would have forced

367
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:17,359
my mother and that boyfriend to break
up forever. Well it sounds like they

368
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:22,240
did. They did eventually, but
I would have caused that shit if it

369
00:28:22,319 --> 00:28:29,319
was after that moment. Oh that's
horrifying. I have anxiety now. Well,

370
00:28:29,319 --> 00:28:33,359
thanks MJ for bringing those stories.

We're back. I do want to give

393
00:30:21,319 --> 00:30:26,920
a content warning because this is wild
and I mean it's a true crank case.

394
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,960
A woman gets murdered, but like
the details of it are ugh.

395
00:30:30,279 --> 00:30:33,160
So I did leave some stuff out
to not make it as horrible, but

396
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:37,839
it's pretty horrible. And I'm going
to start off with the day it happened,

397
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,799
and then later we'll get into like
the people. So on October twenty

398
00:30:41,839 --> 00:30:47,119
eight, two thousand and seven,
in San Miguel Le Tukuma in Argentina,

399
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:56,039
a couple, Pablo Amin and Maria
Marta Arias, arrived to the town for

400
00:30:56,279 --> 00:31:03,839
a herbal Life convention not Urban Line. Yes, urban Life. Yeah and

401
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,400
yeah, I didn't know there was
conventions, but of course there is.

402
00:31:07,039 --> 00:31:11,759
MMMM, there is. All the
MLMs have them. Okay, that's true.

403
00:31:11,839 --> 00:31:15,119
I didn't know that other MLMs had
them, so of course urban Life

404
00:31:15,319 --> 00:31:18,279
the OG has to have it.
Sorry to drell so early, but I

405
00:31:18,319 --> 00:31:30,079
went to an MLM convention not knowing
it was one because my ex almost got

406
00:31:30,079 --> 00:31:36,519
conned into one. Of them.
It was one that sold like insurances.

407
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:41,799
There was so much cheering, so
much my life change and blah blah blah.

408
00:31:41,839 --> 00:31:44,319
And I was like, I was
saying there like this, this can't

409
00:31:44,359 --> 00:31:48,559
be right, Like this doesn't sound
right? Is this real? Red flags

410
00:31:48,559 --> 00:31:53,279
are everywhere? There were neon Well, I imagine that this is what the

411
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:57,920
erbal Life convention was like. So
they arrived. They were staying at the

412
00:31:59,039 --> 00:32:05,200
luxurious hotel Catalina's Park, which was
a like street away from where the convention

413
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,119
was taking place, and they stayed
on the fifth floor in room five hundred

414
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:13,799
and fourteen. Maria didn't want to
go to the convention, but Bablo was

415
00:32:13,839 --> 00:32:17,400
insisting, and so they went together. And the convention was in Tukuman Center.

416
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:22,119
Everything was going well. Bablo gave
a lecture on I don't know,

417
00:32:22,279 --> 00:32:24,279
urban life, smoothies or some shit
like I really don't know what his lecture

418
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,799
was on, but like what else
could it be on? It's fucking rbal

419
00:32:27,839 --> 00:32:31,839
life, Like what milk goes best
with the powder? Mix it with this

420
00:32:32,119 --> 00:32:36,000
and this I don't know. Was
the erbal life found to have like all

421
00:32:36,079 --> 00:32:40,119
kinds of shit in it? Yeah? Yes, yes it was. Yeah.

422
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:45,079
And the chokehol that I had on
the Latin or Latina community. Oh

423
00:32:45,079 --> 00:32:50,200
my god, everybody, everybody's aunts
were selling it. Well, I was

424
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,920
gonna say, we didn't have a
ta that sold it, and I was

425
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:57,720
like, it was my mom.
But it was when the thea yeah,

426
00:32:58,039 --> 00:33:02,359
yeah, yeah, so yeah.
He gave some lecture on I don't know,

427
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:06,440
orbal live smoothie or some shit,
and it was going well, people

428
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:10,079
were clappying whatever, but then suddenly
on stage he started screaming at people,

429
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:15,880
and he was screaming specifically at one
vendor, and he was accusing this vendor

430
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:20,759
of him trying to take his clients
away from him, and the vendor wasn't

431
00:33:20,799 --> 00:33:25,480
even in the room when he was
up there screaming about this, and he's

432
00:33:25,559 --> 00:33:30,440
like, let's fight right now and
stuff like that. So Maria ran on

433
00:33:30,559 --> 00:33:34,160
the stage and was like, okay, like calm down. It wasn't working.

434
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,559
Pablo stormed off stage. She ran
after him, trying to stop him.

435
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:44,079
She was pulling it by the shirt, but obviously he's a man and

436
00:33:44,519 --> 00:33:47,799
he can pull away whatever. So
she ran after him, followed him outside

437
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,839
to their car, and when they
were in the car, he started screaming

438
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:58,160
again that he heard a woman's voice
telling him to run because someone was trying

439
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,200
to kill him. So he got
out of the car and just took off

440
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:07,279
running, and Maria, worried about
her husband, ran after him, and

441
00:34:07,359 --> 00:34:13,400
his ass ran slash walked for two
hours? What and she was running after

442
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,519
him the whole time. She should
have called the authorities for help. He's

443
00:34:16,599 --> 00:34:22,679
clearly experiencing a mental breakdown. Yeah, something clearly was going on, because

444
00:34:22,679 --> 00:34:28,320
this is not normal behavior from him. So finally she caught up to him

445
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:32,320
and he agreed to take a taxi, and the taxi dropped them off four

446
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:37,880
blocks away from where the convention was
taking place, and instead of going back

447
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:42,679
into their hotel, Bablo ran into
a cathedral that was right there. So

448
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:46,639
Cathedral of s. Carnacion, that's
the name of the cathedral. He ran

449
00:34:46,679 --> 00:34:51,599
in there. And now it was
around five pm and it was crowded.

450
00:34:51,639 --> 00:34:53,559
I mean, it's like a I
don't know, typical church hour, I

451
00:34:53,559 --> 00:35:00,000
guess, And there was a line
of people waiting and some sources said baptized

452
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:05,360
and others said, what's it called
when you go up there to get the

453
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:09,199
community? Yes, so I think
it was a communion, because this is

454
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:13,960
a Catholic Church. You don't just
stand in line to good baptized. Yeah,

455
00:35:14,079 --> 00:35:17,679
well, yeah you can really,
I never know at that. Well,

456
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:22,440
there's also the confirmations. Oh but
that's not like a baptism never mind.

457
00:35:22,599 --> 00:35:24,719
No, Like the only thing you're
standing in line for is the communion,

458
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:34,840
like a long line when my kids
sit there baptism. There was a

459
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:38,960
lot of people doing it that day
with kids. Yeah, with kids.

460
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:45,280
Oh okay. So normally the ones
that I've gone to, it's like the

461
00:35:45,519 --> 00:35:50,800
couples that are baptizing their baby are
already up there waiting, and it's like

462
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:54,119
four or five people up there,
not a huge line in the aisle in

463
00:35:54,159 --> 00:35:57,760
the middle of the aisle. That's
true. Yeah, no, but I

464
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,400
guess if it's a very busy day, then they're creating a long ass line,

465
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:05,760
right, But I don't know.
We were all surrounded the priest,

466
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,559
so it wasn't really a line,
I guess. M okay, okay,

467
00:36:08,599 --> 00:36:14,639
so you were up there with the
priests, not in the in between the

468
00:36:14,639 --> 00:36:20,400
the pews, p thank you the
sea like a fucking heathen. Oh.

469
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:27,320
I only really remember it's pew because
it's pew pew. Okay, So now

470
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:35,000
I'm inclined to think it was the
first commune or not com communion taking.

471
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:37,719
We keep we keep doing this.
Yeah, I think that's what was happening,

472
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:43,360
because I would explain a line in
between the pews. So there was

473
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,719
a line of people, and he
dragged Maria to the front of the line,

474
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:53,760
in front of everyone, and he
demanded to be baptized by the priest,

475
00:36:54,039 --> 00:36:58,920
and the priest was like, you
gotta wait a line, buddy,

476
00:36:59,079 --> 00:37:04,239
like everyone else. It's not being
weird or whatever, and he was no.

477
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,199
He was demanding again, like no, this needs to happen. You

478
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:10,840
need to baptize me. Then he
there was like people taking pictures in the

479
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:14,599
church for some reason. So now
I'm thinking maybe it was a line of

480
00:37:14,639 --> 00:37:21,039
people getting baptized, like maybe they
were doing baptisms on babies or I don't

481
00:37:21,039 --> 00:37:23,199
know what was going on. Honestly, the sources were confusing one of the

482
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:28,880
two. Anyway, there was photographers
there for some reason, and he dragged

483
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:32,679
one of the photographers up to the
front of line with them and was like,

484
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:36,360
okay, you need to take pictures
of like our baptism. We're getting

485
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:40,039
baptized right now. The priest was
like, fine, and he just gave

486
00:37:40,079 --> 00:37:45,480
him like a bendision, you know, like a blessing, so he'd leave,

487
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:50,679
and this whole time Maria was mortified. She went and sat in a

488
00:37:50,679 --> 00:37:53,800
different part of the church to not
be near him. She was scared as

489
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:59,440
well. So after the priest gave
him the blessing, before he ran out,

490
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:05,079
he grabbed the bowl of like like
baptism water that they have for like

491
00:38:05,159 --> 00:38:07,880
you know where they scoop. Yeah, so he grabbed all of that and

492
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:13,519
just started chugging it. What.
Yeah, I'm like, I'm just like,

493
00:38:13,599 --> 00:38:15,280
I'm stuck on that this man needed
help and nobody called for help.

494
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:21,239
Yeah, he really did. Because
but then also like the wife is like,

495
00:38:21,559 --> 00:38:23,840
I don't know him, like he's
clearly where She's like, yeah,

496
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:28,880
yeah, someone should have dialed.
And I mean they should have. They

497
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:30,760
probably had it self like a you
know, big ugly cell phone back then.

498
00:38:31,079 --> 00:38:35,599
It's what did I say, two
thousand and seven? Ok? Yeah,

499
00:38:35,639 --> 00:38:37,719
two thousand and seven, So no, yeah, somebody still had I

500
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:42,559
would hope somebody would have dialed nine
one one, but no, wait was

501
00:38:42,599 --> 00:38:46,800
this here in the States? Oh, surely they had cell phones, So

502
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:51,239
I don't know. I also feel
like in Latin community. It's really difficult

503
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,639
because mental health is very taboo.
That's true. They really could have just

504
00:38:54,639 --> 00:39:00,519
been like he's just crazy and not
done anything like yeah, yeah. So

505
00:39:00,559 --> 00:39:05,280
he drank all of it as much
as he could. He chrugged it and

506
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:09,079
then threw it down and then just
ran out of the cathedral. By this

507
00:39:09,119 --> 00:39:14,000
point, Maria and him separated.
She ran back to the convention to the

508
00:39:14,079 --> 00:39:17,480
for the friends, and Bablo just
kept running in between cars, just weaving,

509
00:39:17,639 --> 00:39:22,519
yelling that someone was trying to kill
him. He ran through Plaza in

510
00:39:22,599 --> 00:39:27,119
Dependencia, and that's when a police
officer saw him. The officer walked up

511
00:39:27,159 --> 00:39:30,519
to him and asked him if he
needed help, and he was surprised when

512
00:39:30,559 --> 00:39:35,639
Bablo asked to be arrested. So
Bablo was taken to the station and there

513
00:39:35,679 --> 00:39:38,960
he asked for more water. He
said he was dying of thirst, I

514
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:43,480
don't know, and so an officer
went to go get the water, but

515
00:39:43,639 --> 00:39:47,199
before he could even come back with
the cup, Bablo ran to the faucet,

516
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:52,480
turned it on and just started drinking
from the running water in front of

517
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:58,199
the officers for like a little too
long, like it had been too long,

518
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:00,880
and he was still drinking from the
faucet in front of them. Finally

519
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:06,360
he turned it off, and then
he told officers that he was into Kuman

520
00:40:06,559 --> 00:40:10,119
for the Erbal Life convention. And
then he said he had problems with his

521
00:40:10,199 --> 00:40:15,480
wife, that she didn't love him, she wanted to isolate him. Police,

522
00:40:15,519 --> 00:40:19,559
they were just weirded out. They
called his wife, Maria, and

523
00:40:19,639 --> 00:40:23,960
Maria arrived at seven pm with a
mutual friend of theirs named Walter. And

524
00:40:24,119 --> 00:40:30,679
Walter also worked for Edba Life.
So Maria, they're all in the police

525
00:40:30,679 --> 00:40:36,320
station. They're waiting for him to
be okay, like to be released.

526
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:42,119
Each one of them is interviewed individually
by police. During Bablo's interview by himself,

527
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:46,400
you know, after Walter and Maria
arrived, Bablo had asked Walter if

528
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:51,159
we had like erbal life stuff with
him, and then he started trying to

529
00:40:51,199 --> 00:40:57,519
sell urban Life to the officers,
but like in a normal voice. Now,

530
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,400
no, no, no, sorry, not in a normal voice.

531
00:41:00,599 --> 00:41:02,400
He was talking really fast and really
loud, That's what I meant to say

532
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,360
the whole time. And he was
just telling them like he lost forty pounds

533
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:12,840
using it, everyone in his family
used it. And the officers were so

534
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:19,559
startled and confused by his behavior.
They gave him the name Bablo e loco.

535
00:41:19,639 --> 00:41:22,199
I mean, because again, this
is two thousand and seven and it's

536
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:27,559
Latin America, they're gonna give names
like that. And so then he had

537
00:41:27,599 --> 00:41:31,239
to talk to like the captain,
the person in charge the whole station before

538
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:37,840
he was okay to be like let
go. And when he talked to him,

539
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:42,920
the captain told him that he needed
to go to the hospital before being

540
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:47,559
released because he needed a medical of
evaluation. And Bablo tried to refuse.

541
00:41:47,599 --> 00:41:50,920
He tried to say like, no, they're just gonna pump me full of

542
00:41:51,039 --> 00:41:53,800
drugs and so I'm not going.
But the captain was like, well,

543
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:57,880
you need to go or you're gonna
stay in custody, Like you need to

544
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,679
have a valuation, so we release
you because we need to know that you're

545
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:06,000
okay. So Bablo he finally accepted. He was taken in a police car

546
00:42:06,159 --> 00:42:09,719
while Madia and Walter followed in their
car. Somehow, the doctor at the

547
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:14,519
hospital said he was okay, like
nothing was wrong with him. Well,

548
00:42:14,599 --> 00:42:21,239
he probably had no training in psychiatric
like conditions and stuff like that. True,

549
00:42:21,639 --> 00:42:23,960
that that makes sense, Yeah,
I mean, like it's it's just

550
00:42:24,039 --> 00:42:30,320
so evident. I mean, yeah, like, no one sensible does this.

551
00:42:30,159 --> 00:42:34,800
The water chugging, that's so bizarre. But well, the running between

552
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:40,079
the cars, saying someone's gonna kill
him. Yeah, giving a normal lecture

553
00:42:40,119 --> 00:42:46,960
then suddenly screaming yeah, it's something
is clearly wrong. But the doctor released

554
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,519
him. He said, no,
you're okay, there's nothing wrong with you.

555
00:42:51,079 --> 00:42:54,800
And Bablo begged the officer to arrest
him, to lock him up.

556
00:42:55,480 --> 00:43:00,400
He said he needed to be behind
bars, but they let him go because

557
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:04,079
the doctor said it was okay,
there was nothing wrong with him. So

558
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:08,000
on the way out of the hospital
this hospital room, Bablo tripped over a

559
00:43:08,079 --> 00:43:14,119
mayo stand and so those are the
like one armed things with a tray on

560
00:43:14,199 --> 00:43:20,280
it that people put medical things on, like scalpels, fials, things like

561
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:23,199
that. So he dropped over one
of those and nobody saw him do this,

562
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:29,960
but he grabbed a scalpel from that
yikes. And they walked out and

563
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:34,159
Bablo told Maria, don't worry,
I'm okay. It's gonna be okay.

564
00:43:35,039 --> 00:43:38,960
And they arrived to their hotel,
Catalina's Park. Walter, the friend,

565
00:43:39,039 --> 00:43:43,000
asked Bablo if he was sure he
was okay, and Bablo was like,

566
00:43:43,079 --> 00:43:45,119
yeah, I was only behaving that
way because I hadn't slept in four days.

567
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:50,719
Uh well, okay, she just
started there. Do you tell the

568
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:54,079
doctor that, like what the hell
right? Right? Because you know,

569
00:43:54,199 --> 00:43:59,519
like not sleeping for days is another
It is a symptom of some conditions.

570
00:43:59,559 --> 00:44:02,480
But also so not sleeping that long
kind of makes you a little sloopy.

571
00:44:02,599 --> 00:44:07,480
Yeah, you're gonna have issues being
awake that long. So that's what he

572
00:44:07,559 --> 00:44:13,360
told Walter, and Walter watched us. Pablon Maria walked away to their room.

573
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,760
They were staying on the same floor, the fifth floor. Bablo and

574
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:19,679
his wife were in room five hundred
and three. Babloon and my dad were

575
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,880
in room five hundred and fourteen.
So he watched them walk away. He

576
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:27,880
even saw Pablo kiss Maria on the
on the forehead, and he really did

577
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:30,519
seem like he was back to his
normal self. So whatever, Walter went

578
00:44:30,559 --> 00:44:35,760
into his room. They went into
their room. Marianne Pablo got into bed.

579
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,280
Bablo turned on the TV. Maria
turned around to go to sleep,

580
00:44:39,039 --> 00:44:44,119
but then he didn't let her go
to sleep. He asked her, why

581
00:44:44,119 --> 00:44:46,079
does she take so long to get
to the police station, which I don't

582
00:44:46,079 --> 00:44:51,840
think she did because he ran off
or they were in the church at five,

583
00:44:52,559 --> 00:44:54,440
if he if she went back to
the convention and he ran off and

584
00:44:54,480 --> 00:45:00,760
got taken to the police station and
she was there at seven, Like that

585
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:05,840
doesn't seem that long to me.
But he demanded to know why she took

586
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,400
so long, and then she was
I guess over it or something. I

587
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:12,960
don't know, but she yelled back
that she took lot because she wanted him

588
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:16,000
to be held at some psychiatric ward
like he needed. I mean, that's

589
00:45:16,039 --> 00:45:21,280
why he needed. I don't know
the protocol for that to happen over there,

590
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:25,719
but that should have been done.
You think if you think if someone

591
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:30,199
was saying I need to be held
overnight, that they would just do it.

592
00:45:30,599 --> 00:45:32,199
I don't know. I don't know
how any of this works. And

593
00:45:32,199 --> 00:45:37,599
that's not to say that a mandatory
hold is like the solution it's made out

594
00:45:37,639 --> 00:45:42,280
to be those it's not. But
I mean, sometimes when someone is a

595
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:46,360
danger to others and themselves, it
is necessary sometimes. Yeah, And if

596
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:52,679
he was asking and it sounds like
something horrible is about to happen that could

597
00:45:52,679 --> 00:45:59,719
have been prevented, it sounded like
he wanted he volunteered himself to be on

598
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,639
home, which is weird that they
didn't take it because like oftentimes, yeah,

599
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:07,679
when people who are self aware of
their situation and they're like, well

600
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:13,119
I need to be like institutionalized for
a little bit because I'm not doing well,

601
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:17,320
they can take themselves, you know, themselves, which I mean,

602
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:22,039
it sounds like they didn't even call
like a mental health professional to assess him.

603
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:28,079
Right, it was a doctor,
which still should have like recognized if

604
00:46:28,079 --> 00:46:30,239
they had been told everything that had
happened up to that point, they should

605
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:34,719
have recognized that he needed to say. They might have not been told because

606
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:37,760
we don't know, Yeah, but
that's true, we don't and I couldn't

607
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,760
find information if that doctor was told
or not, So yeah, I don't

608
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:45,599
know, but yeah, he really
should have been held somewhere overnight, and

609
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:47,760
like we said, especially because he
was requesting it. Yeah, I mean

610
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:52,320
it sounds like Maddy I wanted that
too. So this and this is the

611
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:58,119
horrible part that's coming up. I
can like barely stomach saying it. Okay,

612
00:46:58,559 --> 00:47:02,920
So Bablo Oh got mad. He
climbed over Maria and strangled her and

613
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:07,039
she didn't even have time to react. He's big. He's tall, she's

614
00:47:07,119 --> 00:47:12,880
not. So she died pretty quickly
because he strangled her. But Babla wasn't

615
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:17,400
done without going into like too much
details and just like surface things, he

616
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:25,599
grabbed the scalpel and cut her cut
her eyes out and yeah, it's it's

617
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:34,199
He placed each eye individually on the
bed. Oh, I'm just it was

618
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:39,840
so appalling to read. Wow.
And then he h he cut her private

619
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:45,519
area. He cut her neck and
her face. Uh. Then he grabs

620
00:47:45,519 --> 00:47:52,400
her hair and cut part of her
forehead so that her cranium was exposed.

621
00:47:53,519 --> 00:47:58,840
He like like cut it off,
and then he grabbed her by the hair,

622
00:47:59,119 --> 00:48:02,800
dragged her into the hallway and all
the way to the elevator. Then

623
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:07,039
he was like desperately pressing the button
and it was taken too long. So

624
00:48:07,119 --> 00:48:12,119
then he drags her over to the
stairs and threw her down the stairs.

625
00:48:12,199 --> 00:48:15,719
Oh my god. Then he walked
over to room five hundred three, where

626
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:19,440
Walter and his wife were staying,
and he knocked and knocked, but they

627
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:22,400
didn't open the door. So when
they didn't open the door, he went

628
00:48:22,519 --> 00:48:27,639
back to the stairs and then dragged
her to down another flight of stairs.

629
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:31,559
So in between the first and second
floor. Then he started yelling and where

630
00:48:31,599 --> 00:48:36,880
he was he started yelling for the
elevator. A hotel employee ran in to

631
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:40,760
see what was going on. Oh
employee, Yeah, obviously horrified at what

632
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:49,119
he saw, especially when he saw
the condition that she was in, Like,

633
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:55,159
that's so traumatizing. So he ran
out of there screaming, and he

634
00:48:55,400 --> 00:49:01,360
went straight to the phone to dial
the police. And they didn't take long

635
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:06,840
to get there at all. It
was like within minutes they arrived and immediately

636
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:09,519
they went to the staircase, the
stairwell, and they told Bablo to step

637
00:49:09,559 --> 00:49:14,599
away from Maria. Oh sorry,
I forgot to say. This is another

638
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:19,880
like horrible detail. When the receptionist
started screaming at what he saw, Bablo

639
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:23,760
grabbed Maria's head and just repeatedly started
assimning it on the floor. And when

640
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:29,159
police arrived, he was still doing
that. Oh my god. They ordered

641
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:32,559
him to step away from her,
and he didn't. He continued to kick

642
00:49:32,599 --> 00:49:37,400
her. Now they yelled again that
he needed to step away or they would

643
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:43,320
shoot, and so he did.
He finally stepped away and like got on

644
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:46,920
his knees, then on his stomach, and while he was laying there on

645
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:51,840
his stomach, he started yelling again
for water, which is like, it's

646
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:57,559
so bizarre. Obviously something is wrong
because he took the water from the church

647
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:02,280
chugged it like chugged holy water.
In the police station, he just completely

648
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:07,599
was chugging sink water instead of waiting
for a cup, like, it's so

649
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:12,800
strange, and so here he was
again begging for water and begging for mercy.

650
00:50:13,199 --> 00:50:15,840
He said he wanted water because he
swallowed his wedding ring and it was

651
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:21,239
stuck. I don't know, I
don't know. He was taken to the

652
00:50:21,519 --> 00:50:25,320
psychiatric ward in the hospital where he
had been sedated. Then he was taken

653
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:30,199
to a prison that held the twenty
five most dangerous prisoners of like this area,

654
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:36,960
and no one understood what had happened. It was revealed that Pablo and

655
00:50:37,039 --> 00:50:40,480
Maria were having problems. They were
both known to be unfaithful to each other

656
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:45,639
at different times of their relationship.
They had been together since they were sixteen,

657
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:50,800
and so at this point they're both
twenty four. They were young.

658
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:54,800
Yeah, they met in high school, so they had both been unfaithful.

659
00:50:54,960 --> 00:51:00,360
They were also both selling for herbal
life and they were very competitive, point

660
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:04,320
where they started to like hate each
other. Because they were competing over like

661
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:07,880
who could make more or something.
That's like the explanation I saw online.

662
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:14,559
I don't, I don't know.
Yeah, So then investigators went to the

663
00:51:14,599 --> 00:51:19,360
hotel. The crime scene was horrible. They couldn't find the scalpel that he

664
00:51:19,559 --> 00:51:22,639
used. They thought maybe he threw
it down the window or the toilet,

665
00:51:22,639 --> 00:51:24,719
but there was not evidence for either
one of those things. Then they thought

666
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:29,960
maybe he gave it to Walter,
but it wasn't there either. Walter maintained

667
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:34,360
that they didn't even open the door
when he was knocking, and they didn't

668
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:37,039
hear anything, which is crazy to
me because they were I mean, they

669
00:51:37,039 --> 00:51:39,960
were in the same hallway. But
I don't know, I mean like I

670
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:44,639
don't that's just I don't know.
And yeah, in the end, nobody

671
00:51:44,679 --> 00:51:49,119
really understood what happened. So,
like I said, Pabuin Madia were high

672
00:51:49,159 --> 00:51:52,760
school sweethearts. He was described as
a smart, you know, nice kid

673
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:55,760
when he was young, but then
as he got older, he was like

674
00:51:55,800 --> 00:52:00,800
too smart for his own good and
he got into trouble with the lawn with

675
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:06,480
drugs. But still he won Madia's
heart over when he as he got a

676
00:52:06,519 --> 00:52:10,679
little older, like into adulthood,
like you know, twenty one twenty two,

677
00:52:12,199 --> 00:52:15,800
he started gaining a lot of weight
and that's what got them into urban

678
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:21,079
life in the first place, him
trying to lose weight. And they got

679
00:52:21,119 --> 00:52:23,880
married, you know, when they
turned at twenty four, and that was

680
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:28,800
July two thousand and seven, so
like three months before. All of this

681
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:32,880
took place right July, okay,
September, four months October. But as

682
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:37,079
soon as they got married, they
started having problems right away. Like I

683
00:52:37,079 --> 00:52:39,159
said, they both were known to
be unfaithful to each other. But apparently

684
00:52:39,199 --> 00:52:45,480
Madia took some racy pictures and like
sent them to his friends, and that

685
00:52:45,599 --> 00:52:47,199
made him very mad, and he
was like, I'm gonna get revenge for

686
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:51,719
this. So they started to detect
this, started to think that was the

687
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:54,760
reason he killed her. But I
mean, I does not sound like he

688
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:59,280
was in his right mind at all. No, it doesn't not at all.

689
00:53:00,159 --> 00:53:04,840
Sorry, I didn't look up this
water thing, and I found something

690
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:09,760
called psychogenic polydipsia. It says,
due to a mental disorder, some people

691
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:14,920
have an uncontrollable urge to drink water, so they drink it all day even

692
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:19,599
though they don't need to, and
then it does mental illnesses that cost polydipsia

693
00:53:19,639 --> 00:53:27,679
include schizophrenia and other personality disorders and
even mood disorders. So interesting, Okay,

694
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:30,519
okay, I mean I feel like
that kind of explains this water thing.

695
00:53:30,639 --> 00:53:37,079
Then wow, okay, So yeah, investigators believe that that was the

696
00:53:37,119 --> 00:53:39,360
reason he did it. But again, like it just doesn't make sense because

697
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:44,599
he was perfectly fine and then suddenly
he wasn't, which sounds like a psychotic

698
00:53:44,639 --> 00:53:47,400
break to me. I mean,
yeah, but I'm not a psychiatrist,

699
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:52,159
you know, I can't say.
And Pablo's trial took place two years later

700
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:57,079
in two thousand and nine. His
offense claimed that he was not guilty by

701
00:53:57,119 --> 00:53:59,880
reason of insanity, which, honestly, I mean I could see a lot

702
00:53:59,880 --> 00:54:05,119
of sense, Like I could see
that because this was all out of character

703
00:54:05,599 --> 00:54:08,280
for him. He was known to
be a bit of an angry person,

704
00:54:09,039 --> 00:54:15,480
but like never violent, never running
in between cars screaming someone's gonna kill me,

705
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:20,760
hearing voices that someone's gonna kill me. Right, So in the whole

706
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:24,559
trial, Pablo was acting strange.
At one point he told the judge he

707
00:54:24,679 --> 00:54:30,679
was gonna cut his eyes off.
Wow, yeah, which is like it's

708
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:35,480
not a good look, not something
you want to tell the Johne, No,

709
00:54:35,559 --> 00:54:37,599
not at all. Yeah, he
was acting strange the whole time.

710
00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:42,800
The times he had to testify,
he was talking so quietly and like incoherently

711
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:46,599
that they had to like repeatedly tell
him like repeat yourself, like say that

712
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:51,039
again, and they just took him
off the stand because he wasn't making any

713
00:54:51,079 --> 00:54:58,840
sense. I mean. So he
had psychiatric evaluations done and somehow I mean,

714
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:00,920
and maybe I don't know, he
was determined to stand. He was

715
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:06,440
fit to stand. Trial was determination
the determination of those evaluations. And that

716
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:09,920
doesn't mean he doesn't have, you
know, psychiatric issues, which just means

717
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:15,440
he's he can cent. Yeah,
No, that's true. That's true.

718
00:55:15,639 --> 00:55:20,119
And they said he was not insane. He was, though, diagnosed with

719
00:55:20,159 --> 00:55:23,639
antisocial personality disorder. Again, people
are diagnosed without the time and they don't

720
00:55:23,639 --> 00:55:28,119
do things like this. Yeah,
but that was a diagnosis that he That's

721
00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:32,880
interesting, God, Mack, how
do you explain the auditory like you know,

722
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:37,679
host nations that he was having.
Yeah, I don't know, yeah,

723
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:44,519
exactly. So they said they decided
at the time of the murder he

724
00:55:44,639 --> 00:55:50,119
understood what he did and that he
did not suffer a psychotic break. They

725
00:55:50,199 --> 00:55:54,400
believed that he did this because he
was jealous of Walter the friend and Pablo

726
00:55:54,519 --> 00:55:59,920
himself, you know, said he
gave no explanation he did. He said

727
00:55:59,920 --> 00:56:04,000
he didn't remember anything. That was
what he said. I mean, and

728
00:56:04,039 --> 00:56:07,920
that could be a lie, but
that could also be from being in a

729
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:09,079
psychond of break and not knowing what
you're doing. So, I mean,

730
00:56:09,119 --> 00:56:16,840
I guess, like we'll never know
exactly. Psychiatrists evaluated him. Thirteen of

731
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:22,559
them announced him sane at the time
of the murder. I mean, I

732
00:56:22,599 --> 00:56:24,440
guess if that's the Yeah, I
don't. I mean, like, I'm

733
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:29,519
I was shocked when I got to
the end of this what happened, because

734
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:32,599
I honestly thought they would have been, like he was not in the right

735
00:56:32,639 --> 00:56:38,599
state of mind because of how like
just everything that happened up to Yeah,

736
00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:43,559
the murder is just I don't want
to say insane, but like out of

737
00:56:43,599 --> 00:56:50,519
this like it just keeps on as
yeah yeah, yeah. And so he

738
00:56:50,639 --> 00:56:54,639
was found guilty and he is still
in prison, though he was allowed out

739
00:56:54,880 --> 00:57:00,639
of prison twice for three hours each
time. During one of those times,

740
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:06,679
he got married, Okay, so
took advantage of his time out, like

741
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:13,719
yeah, yeah, and that was
in twenty eighteen. And Maria's family they

742
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:16,719
believe that he knew what he was
doing. They blame obviously, they blame

743
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:22,599
him for all of this. They
also feel like his outings and his marriage

744
00:57:22,679 --> 00:57:27,159
are like an insult to them and
like Pablo is just laughing at them.

745
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:30,760
It's what they have said, which
I'm sure can feel that way, Yeah,

746
00:57:30,199 --> 00:57:35,639
because you know their daughter is not
with them anymore. But yeah,

747
00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:40,599
that that is the case of And
when you look this up, it shows

748
00:57:40,639 --> 00:57:46,079
up as Pablo e Loco I mean, which I mean, that's just what

749
00:57:46,159 --> 00:57:50,719
the case was called, I guess, but like, wow, yeah,

750
00:57:51,199 --> 00:57:53,239
I'd never heard of it. I
just I wish that he would have been

751
00:57:53,239 --> 00:57:57,119
held when he was asking for it, because I feel like it could have

752
00:57:57,119 --> 00:57:59,719
been prevented. Yeah. Yeah,
And I don't want to sound like I'm

753
00:57:59,719 --> 00:58:01,840
defent him too much, but I
mean, it's it seems like there was

754
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:07,519
a lot that could have been done
to prevent this. Yeah. I also

755
00:58:07,559 --> 00:58:10,159
feel like while he was going through
a mental break, because I no matter

756
00:58:10,199 --> 00:58:14,280
what, I feel like, people
don't people in their right mind are not

757
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:19,199
going to do this period. Yeah. I also feel like like there was

758
00:58:19,239 --> 00:58:22,280
a moment of clarity when he knew
he was like derailing, and nobody took

759
00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:28,599
him seriously Ryan, and he was
asking especially the medical professionals or whoever evaluated

760
00:58:28,679 --> 00:58:31,119
him. Yeah. Yeah, I
think it's a hard thing because I feel

761
00:58:31,119 --> 00:58:37,519
like people want to fit in like
mental health issues and psychiatric issues and like

762
00:58:37,599 --> 00:58:44,239
mental breakdowns into this like black or
white situation where you either were saying at

763
00:58:44,239 --> 00:58:47,960
that time or not for the purpose
of you know, standing trial and whatever,

764
00:58:49,239 --> 00:58:52,480
you know, finding someone guilty and
whatnot, and like those are all

765
00:58:52,559 --> 00:58:58,440
legal definitions that do not necessarily line
up with what actually happens to someone when

766
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:01,559
they're experiencing a mental health breakdown or
whatever, you know, mental health issue

767
00:59:01,559 --> 00:59:06,039
they're having. I mean, just
hearing all of it, it's very clear

768
00:59:06,119 --> 00:59:08,920
that he needed help, and he
was asking for help, and he didn't

769
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:12,000
get the help that he needed.
And of course, a lot to say

770
00:59:12,039 --> 00:59:16,920
that people who are having that have
mental breakdowns or have severe mental health illnesses

771
00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:22,840
harm other people. Like we know
that's not the norm either, but I

772
00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:27,559
mean, I think this could have
been prevented. And a lot of times

773
00:59:27,639 --> 00:59:31,880
when something so severe like that happens, obviously people want to find somebody,

774
00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:36,360
you know, the legal system is
created it right, Yeah, you want

775
00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:37,920
to find someone to blame and you
want to say, you know, dyne

776
00:59:38,039 --> 00:59:42,320
what they're doing, and you know
all that, and it just it doesn't

777
00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:49,039
line up right, like the mental
health crisis and the you know need need

778
00:59:49,039 --> 00:59:55,400
to find someone guilty. Yeah.
I found this article on the long Reads

779
00:59:55,679 --> 01:00:00,000
somereddit from I think it was like
the New York Times about postpartum depression and

780
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:05,360
like the severe severe cases of postpartum
depression. And they talked about I don't

781
01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:07,880
remember how old article was, so
I can't I don't remember if any of

782
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:13,800
its recent or not. But they
talked about a mom who killed her baby

783
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:17,639
because she was suffering from postprium depression. But the article is describing how like

784
01:00:17,679 --> 01:00:22,599
when someone is experiencing a mental health
breakdown, like people think it's like a

785
01:00:22,599 --> 01:00:27,679
full blown breakdown, but they have
moments of it's like clarity, a webbing,

786
01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:30,679
yeah, of clarity. So there's
also episodes too, Yeah, like

787
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:37,559
people go through episodes like it's not
always their existence isn't always there. So

788
01:00:37,599 --> 01:00:42,440
they found her saying at the time
of what she did because they're saying,

789
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:45,840
oh, she knew to do it
when her husband was gone. So they

790
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:51,800
used that to say she was sane
and knew what she was doing, but

791
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:54,199
like it could have been like she
just automatically knew the times he wasn't there,

792
01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:59,320
because I'm assuming she was a stay
at home mom and he was working,

793
01:01:00,039 --> 01:01:04,400
and so everything I said I just
repeated from the article. I'm not

794
01:01:04,559 --> 01:01:09,599
that smart. I just read it
yesterday. I was fresh on my mind.

795
01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:15,199
I thought it was all you so
no, but tell me, why,

796
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:17,760
tell me why I was going to
bring up Andrea yay? Oh yeah,

797
01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:22,199
they talk about her in that article. Yeah, because it just obviously

798
01:01:22,239 --> 01:01:28,320
he's not a woman going through postmartum
depression and a psychotic breaks. But it's

799
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:32,199
clearly some kind of mental breakdown.
Like everything all of his actions, like

800
01:01:32,239 --> 01:01:38,320
you said, leading up to that's
the murder. Like that's someone you know.

801
01:01:38,639 --> 01:01:44,639
It's just hard for me to believe
that he made a plan to the

802
01:01:44,679 --> 01:01:46,519
woman. He got on stage,
he was going to start yelling at everyone,

803
01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:51,000
he was, he planned to run
two hours. He wasn't even mad

804
01:01:51,039 --> 01:01:52,519
at her at that point. He
was yelling about somebody else, right,

805
01:01:52,679 --> 01:01:58,239
and then yeah, the running between
the cars that he read somebody thinking somebody

806
01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:00,800
was like, that's delusion, that's
probably like this is a breakdown, and

807
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:06,400
this is someone that needed help,
and you know, someone died because he

808
01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:09,800
didn't get the help that he needed. Yes, yeah, yeah, it's

809
01:02:09,880 --> 01:02:14,000
just yeah, I was shocked in
so many cases that I just didn't know

810
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:22,159
anything about. Okay, well this
brings us to the end of the episode.

811
01:02:22,239 --> 01:02:28,519
Hopefully you made it through that horrifying, horrifying case. And yeah,

812
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:32,440
does do either of you have spooky
recommendations? Okay, so my spooky recommendation

813
01:02:32,639 --> 01:02:37,559
is this book I just finished hours
ago called Oh I sent it to you

814
01:02:37,599 --> 01:02:40,719
guys Mons Trilion. Oh why did
I think it was Monso? No,

815
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:50,280
it's too because that's the nickname of
the little Monster thing. So it's about

816
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:58,679
a couple whose child dies and then
the mom and her grief cuts a piece

817
01:02:58,719 --> 01:03:02,519
of his lungout because he only had
he was born with one lung and they

818
01:03:02,559 --> 01:03:07,559
knew the doctors told them that he
was going to live along because of the

819
01:03:07,599 --> 01:03:10,599
one lung, and he lived on
tony eleven. So then he died and

820
01:03:10,639 --> 01:03:15,480
then the mom cuts a piece of
his lungout like to keep, and then

821
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:20,760
she goes back to her hometown because
the couple they can't they they don't make

822
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:22,199
it. Yeah, they don't like, you know, get through the griefs

823
01:03:22,199 --> 01:03:27,039
together, like they can't, you
know. So she leaves and then the

824
01:03:27,079 --> 01:03:30,199
housekeeper of her mom at her mom's
house tells her this like folklore, like

825
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:37,840
myth legend of from her bueblo,
that her cousin or someone that she knew,

826
01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:45,719
there was this girl that was like
well loved and beautiful and and she

827
01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:49,440
died right and then the cousin was
jealous of her, and she cut her

828
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:52,920
heart out after the girl died and
was buried, and then started feeding the

829
01:03:53,079 --> 01:03:58,239
heart and watering it whatever, feeding
it, and then the heart grew into

830
01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:02,239
this handsome man who became cousin's husband, and then they had a child together.

831
01:04:02,360 --> 01:04:05,559
But then the town people they were
like, that was not your heart

832
01:04:05,599 --> 01:04:11,599
to keep whatever. They kill the
cousin and the the family whatever. So

833
01:04:11,639 --> 01:04:16,119
that was the myth that she tells
her the story. So then the mom

834
01:04:16,199 --> 01:04:21,239
starts feeding the lung and it grows
into this little monster and they nickname it

835
01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:27,000
Monsterlio. So then it's like it's
I would say it's horror adjacent. It's

836
01:04:27,039 --> 01:04:30,039
not straight up horror. It's more
like gory because it's a monster that eats

837
01:04:30,079 --> 01:04:38,920
you know our CARDINIV Cardiver carnivorous monster. But it's so it's totally in a

838
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:42,920
point of view, like for different
point of views. The mom, the

839
01:04:43,079 --> 01:04:47,440
dad, their best friend, and
then the monster himself wants to and who

840
01:04:47,519 --> 01:04:50,880
they call him, and I don't
know. I mean, it's about grief,

841
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:57,679
but it's also about there's some weird
parts, like after the mom's point

842
01:04:57,719 --> 01:05:02,239
of view, it's the best friend
and and they talk about and when I

843
01:05:02,280 --> 01:05:06,079
was leading reading reviews of people they
didn't like that they talked about like the

844
01:05:06,599 --> 01:05:14,239
friends like Kinks, I guess.
And then they also get into like the

845
01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:19,679
sex lives of the dad and then
the little monster thing that into a human.

846
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:26,320
He goes into a human human.
So I don't know. I liked

847
01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:30,639
it abstract. Yeah, so that
sounds like it's not straight up horror.

848
01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:33,119
People are calling it literary. I
don't know what that means because I'm you

849
01:05:33,159 --> 01:05:42,079
know, I don't know, I
don't remember that genre. It was interesting,

850
01:05:42,199 --> 01:05:45,400
it was interesting. I don't know
if I reread it, but I

851
01:05:45,039 --> 01:05:48,199
liked it. It was pretty sure. It was a quick read unless I

852
01:05:48,239 --> 01:05:50,400
just have a lot of time to
read because I've been reading at work and

853
01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:54,559
then I had that appointment that was
far today. Well, you haven't been

854
01:05:54,559 --> 01:05:57,239
writing your ship. You're right,
that's what I've been doing a lot of

855
01:05:57,280 --> 01:06:00,360
time. I haven't even started my
next note, so right, what the

856
01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:04,039
hell I should have said that?
So, yeah, I don't know.

857
01:06:05,039 --> 01:06:09,519
I recommend it. It was interesting, it was good. Okay, characters

858
01:06:09,519 --> 01:06:13,000
are queer too, Like, if
you're into that, you know it's good

859
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:17,960
to read about other queer queer representations. Yeah, that's cool, Okay,

860
01:06:18,079 --> 01:06:20,599
Okay, Well, I don't have
any speaking recommendations. I'm so watching the

861
01:06:20,679 --> 01:06:25,559
Grassi when I have in the background
of all my editing, because I have

862
01:06:25,599 --> 01:06:28,119
too much work right now, I've
taken too many gigs, you can say.

863
01:06:29,159 --> 01:06:32,320
And in my little free time that
I laid down right, girl Boss

864
01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:38,639
here, girl Boss, girl Boss, yes, girl Boss, girl Boss

865
01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:45,440
to Yeah. And then when I
do have like thirty twenty minutes of free

866
01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:46,760
time, when I lay down with
my children, I play Starty Valley.

867
01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:49,960
So that's all I've been doing.
I haven't been watching anything. MJ.

868
01:06:50,119 --> 01:06:57,039
Do you have any oh my usual
what's it called? Yes, I was

869
01:06:57,079 --> 01:07:00,599
trying to see if I can say
it before MJ House the new season.

870
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:05,440
It's pretty good. But it's like
I feel, it feels if it does

871
01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:11,679
feel sometimes a little bit repetitive.
But that's okay, because I oftentimes need

872
01:07:11,719 --> 01:07:15,760
to watch an episode twice to even
like absorb the information. I can see

873
01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:18,880
that. Yeah, okay, Before
we go, I do want to remind

874
01:07:18,880 --> 01:07:24,840
people that Carmen and I are going
to be at the Paranormal Podcast and True

01:09:15,640 --> 01:09:20,119
love. I absolutely adore it.
It's so comfy, it's warm, it

901
01:09:20,159 --> 01:09:25,319
has a spooky in old English letters. There's also a baseball hat in the

902
01:09:25,359 --> 01:09:28,079
same way as Spooky and old English
letters, and that's what I wear in

903
01:09:28,079 --> 01:09:30,399
the summers. They're both awesome hats. And there's other things in there,

904
01:09:30,479 --> 01:09:34,439
like the no Mama's shirts, which
is a very popular shirt. If you
