1
00:00:04,599 --> 00:00:07,519
Speaker 1: Hello, Hello, this is Christina and this is another episode

2
00:00:07,559 --> 00:00:10,119
of his Spooky Tales, the podcast for all things as

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:14,400
spooky Hunted the places sometimes to crime in Latin America.

4
00:00:14,519 --> 00:00:18,039
But today is not a regular episode. Like I said

5
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,359
last week, Carmen and I, we're taking a little short

6
00:00:21,399 --> 00:00:26,120
summer break for once, an announced planned summer break, but

7
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,519
we're not going to leave you hanging. We have some

8
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,839
of our podcast besties filling in for us at today.

9
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,560
It is Aiden from Sousto, which I'm sure a lot

10
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,759
of you know, but if you don't, you will now.

11
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,359
And Susto, as I have said many times, is the

12
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:48,000
podcast that inspired me to start as Pooky Tales. To me,

13
00:00:48,359 --> 00:00:53,719
the og of spooky Latine podcasts really the best out there.

14
00:00:54,079 --> 00:00:56,640
So what he does is amazing. He has an original

15
00:00:56,679 --> 00:01:00,200
story written about a legend, and he reads the story

16
00:01:00,479 --> 00:01:04,200
in his amazing spooky voice, and then he's like, hey,

17
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,120
gol friends, guess what this is? What I know about this?

18
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,000
And then he just deep dives into that legend. It's

19
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,920
so fun. Literally, we love Aiden at a Spooky Tales

20
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,079
and we hope that you enjoy this episode. This is

21
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:35,879
a very fun one.

22
00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 2: Hey, cool friend, it's me Adrian or Aiden. Either way,

00:01:41,519 --> 00:01:44,920

for listening. I hope that you enjoy this episode. Alma

36
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,560
was on Cloud nine. It was her and her boyfriend's anniversary,

37
00:02:50,719 --> 00:02:52,960
and she knew it was the night he would finally

38
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,759
ask her to be his wife, or so she hoped.

39
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,280
Their plan was to meet at the final stop of

40
00:02:59,319 --> 00:03:01,960
his shift as a bus driver. From there, they would

41
00:03:02,039 --> 00:03:04,800
drive to the station, get in his car, and enjoy

42
00:03:04,879 --> 00:03:07,639
the evening that would mark the beginning of their new life.

43
00:03:09,199 --> 00:03:12,719
She slipped on her nicest dress, styled her long silky

44
00:03:12,759 --> 00:03:15,159
black hair, did her make up the way she knew

45
00:03:15,199 --> 00:03:18,159
he liked it, and slid on her favorite pair of heels.

46
00:03:19,159 --> 00:03:21,280
The bus stop was a short walk from her home,

47
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,479
but Almah's excitement made her feel as if she couldn't

48
00:03:24,479 --> 00:03:27,439
get there fast enough. The whole way there, she imagined

49
00:03:27,439 --> 00:03:30,000
how he would ask her what food they would serve

50
00:03:30,039 --> 00:03:32,879
at their wedding, how handsome he'd look in a tuxedo.

51
00:03:33,879 --> 00:03:36,719
When Almah finally arrived at the bus stop, she was

52
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,240
left speechless. Her lover adorned his bus with string lights,

53
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,280
their song played softly from its intercom. He stood at

54
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,199
the door of his five ton steed, dressed in his

55
00:03:48,319 --> 00:03:53,199
own best, holding a bouquet. Alma was right, She knew

56
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,000
in her heart, in her soul, that he was going

57
00:03:56,039 --> 00:04:00,319
to propose. Her smile stretched across her face, illuminated by

58
00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:02,680
the glow of the lights as he began to profess

59
00:04:02,719 --> 00:04:05,840
his eternal love to her. He was nervous, like she

60
00:04:05,919 --> 00:04:08,879
knew he'd be, But at last he reached the end

61
00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:12,439
of his speech. Alma, he said, what I'm trying to

62
00:04:12,479 --> 00:04:16,519
tell you, to ask you is will you come? A

63
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,480
piercing screech tore through their song, interrupting his final words.

64
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,079
The lights grew brighter, blinding them Before they could realize

65
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,560
what it was, A bright yellow car blazed through the

66
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,120
red light at the intersection. It missed one car, then

67
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,959
the next, before slamming into the nose of the bus,

68
00:04:34,319 --> 00:04:37,319
pinning Almah's would be fiance in its doorway, where he

69
00:04:37,399 --> 00:04:41,959
stood only seconds before. Almah's lover was dead on impact.

70
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:47,879
When first responders arrived, she was frozen in place, eyes wide, shaking,

71
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:52,759
and quietly crying She's in shock, someone shouted. As medics

72
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,480
attended to her, trying to get her to respond. She

73
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,519
overheard an officer telling another the taxi driver is going

74
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,680
to make it. He said he was distracted by the girl,

75
00:05:00,879 --> 00:05:03,680
missed the red light and swore through traffic. Although she

76
00:05:03,759 --> 00:05:08,079
was physically untouched, Almah felt a pain so deep and agonizing,

77
00:05:08,519 --> 00:05:13,399
an excruciating sensation that never left her. Days later, Almah

78
00:05:13,439 --> 00:05:16,720
was found unresponsive in her home, still in her dress,

79
00:05:17,199 --> 00:05:20,040
her makeup she knew he liked, and her favorite heels.

80
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,040
In the following weeks after her and her lover's passing

81
00:05:24,399 --> 00:05:28,360
taxi drivers throughout the city reported strange events. Footsteps in

82
00:05:28,399 --> 00:05:32,480
empty streets, a serial fair evader who seemingly vanished into

83
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:37,160
thin air, leaving only traces of perfume behind. Strangest of all,

84
00:05:37,319 --> 00:05:40,720
and what made drivers and their shifts before sundown was

85
00:05:40,759 --> 00:05:44,959
the deaths of four taxi drivers. But these stories didn't stop.

86
00:05:44,959 --> 00:05:48,000
Oscar recently kicked out of his girlfriend's apartment when she

87
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,480
discovered his infidelity. He needed quick money for his own place.

88
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,279
He knew there was a driver shortage and took advantage

89
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:58,079
of the situation. It wasn't long before Oscar fell witness

90
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,000
to a bizarre late night inside. In the dead of night,

91
00:06:02,199 --> 00:06:04,680
he pulled over on a quiet stone paved road to

92
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,879
take his break. Oscar rolled down his window to enjoy

93
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,040
the cool breeze. He hummed along to the song playing

94
00:06:11,079 --> 00:06:14,480
faintly on his radio. He was tired after working days

95
00:06:14,519 --> 00:06:17,439
on end and late into the nights. He was nodding

96
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,279
off when he woke startled by the sound of footsteps

97
00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:23,519
right by his car, but the road stood empty still.

98
00:06:24,199 --> 00:06:26,720
He could hear what sounded like high heels on stone

99
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,120
in the distance. Brushing it off, he started his car

100
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,600
and as the headlights came on, he jumped again. Standing

101
00:06:33,639 --> 00:06:36,920
in front of his car was a woman. Hey, beautiful, Nita, ride,

102
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,680
he asked with a chuckle. Silently, she walked over to

103
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,839
the back passenger side of his car. The vehicle's door

104
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,079
opened and shut. While we're going to night gorgeous, he

105
00:06:47,199 --> 00:06:51,360
asked in a low, barely audible voice. She gave him

106
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,959
an address, He plugged it into his GPS, started the

107
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,879
fair meter, and they left. Oscar tried to make small talk,

108
00:06:58,959 --> 00:07:02,399
but was met with silent His questions became more and

109
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,639
more personal. What do you do for fun? Do you

110
00:07:05,639 --> 00:07:07,920
have a boyfriend? Ever been at this cafe here? I

111
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,240
could take you sometime. I'll take your number when I

112
00:07:10,279 --> 00:07:12,439
drop you off. What are you doing out so late?

113
00:07:12,439 --> 00:07:16,879
Looking so nice? Huh? Eventually Oscar became enraged when she

114
00:07:16,879 --> 00:07:20,360
would not answer. You know, he said, you could stand

115
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,560
to be more polite. His GPS interrupted him with an alert,

116
00:07:23,839 --> 00:07:28,439
you are approaching your destination. More Frustrated now, he turned

117
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,680
to continue, When a man is being nice to a

118
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,839
pretty lady like you, you should show some gratitude. As

119
00:07:33,879 --> 00:07:36,600
he turned to face the beautiful stranger, he exclaimed, You're

120
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,480
not even that pretty. The glint of her blade caught

121
00:07:39,519 --> 00:07:42,399
his eye, and before he could continue, she plunged it

122
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,519
deep into his neck. His car continued to roll slowly

123
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,319
down the road. He began to lose consciousness when he

124
00:07:49,399 --> 00:07:51,920
noticed the song playing was the same one as when

125
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,920
he pulled over earlier, a song about lost love. The

126
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,680
music began to loop and glitch in a way he'd

127
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,639
never heard before. In his final moment, without a sound,

128
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,120
the woman vanished and the smell of perfume filled his car.

129
00:08:06,639 --> 00:08:09,759
He could taste blood pooling in his mouth. He could

130
00:08:09,759 --> 00:08:13,240
see a hazy glow from above, the light from a

131
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:35,480
bus stop. Welcome back, Wild friends. Okay, again, that was

132
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,679
an original story. I hope you enjoyed it. It was

133
00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:40,960
very easy to write this story because there were good

134
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,080
like bits and pieces about this story that already existed,

135
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,960
and I kind of just took those things and instead

136
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,399
of piecing those things together, I like, you know, the

137
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,919
meme of that lady with the numbers floating around her

138
00:08:51,919 --> 00:08:54,519
face doing the math. That's me right now, trying to

139
00:08:54,519 --> 00:08:57,559
explain what writing is to you. But anyway, okay, so

140
00:08:57,639 --> 00:08:59,759
to get into it from what I saw, the sources

141
00:08:59,759 --> 00:09:02,639
that I used really heavily is this story is based

142
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,600
out of Ondas, more specifically in the I think it's

143
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,519
the capital of Ondudas. Yes, the capital Degusigalpa. And actually

144
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,960
when I went to Honduras, I was very close to

145
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,559
the capital, to Tegusigalpa. I am sad that I didn't

146
00:09:16,639 --> 00:09:18,000
hear this story. I don't think. I don't know if

147
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,240
I was doing Susto then yet, maybe that was during

148
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,200
my hiatus. I'm not sure, but I wish I had

149
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,480
thought to ask or like to ask about scary stories.

150
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,159
But also we were with a bunch of little kids,

151
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,519
and so I'm sure that they didn't want to scare them.

152
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,720
But anyway, so this story is based again out of

153
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,000
the Gui and so we're going to go through the

154
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,960
sources here. Again, the direct links to the sources are

155
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,559
in the Susto Google doc. So the first one that

156
00:09:40,639 --> 00:09:44,960
I have here is from Rivista Chilena de Liratura and

157
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,039
it's a it's an academic article that looks like from

158
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:51,080
Universidad de Hyenne, Espana. And this article is titled the

159
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:55,399
Weeping Woman, the Sejanaba and other Female Ghosts Typological configuration

160
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,000
and legendary motifs Okay and there's just a snippet. This

161
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,240
is like, of course, higher article about all of these

162
00:10:01,279 --> 00:10:03,399
types of as I like to call them here on

163
00:10:03,399 --> 00:10:07,120
Susto cryptid femmes. But they bring up the specific instance

164
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,759
of the takunuda in English. I think it's just like

165
00:10:09,879 --> 00:10:12,600
a woman wearing heels, yeah, or like high heels, But

166
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,120
in this instance it's la takunda as a woman or

167
00:10:15,159 --> 00:10:18,159
a person wearing high heels. This stimpot of this article says,

168
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,519
on the other hand, there are stories that only describe

169
00:10:20,519 --> 00:10:23,240
the appearance of ghostly women on the road without adding

170
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,919
the reason for the driver who put her in the car. Quote.

171
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:27,639
A large light crossed in front of our car, and

172
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,440
out of nowhere, when we turned to look, we saw

173
00:10:29,519 --> 00:10:31,879
women dressed in white. She was illuminated and looked half

174
00:10:31,919 --> 00:10:34,600
blurry because of so much light shining on her, to

175
00:10:34,639 --> 00:10:37,799
which is added in this endurant exhibition of the explanation

176
00:10:37,879 --> 00:10:39,960
of the reason for her death. Quote, A gas station

177
00:10:40,039 --> 00:10:42,279
worker told us that this ghost is of a woman

178
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,480
who died in a car accident. He told us that

179
00:10:44,519 --> 00:10:47,279
she was with her family in a car and they flipped.

180
00:10:47,399 --> 00:10:50,000
The man says that only she died. These types of

181
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:54,080
apparitions are characterized as malignant beings in many of the stories,

182
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,159
as is this exhibition also from Mandudas quote. When someone

183
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,720
is driving along downhill, that is when the driver turns

184
00:10:59,799 --> 00:11:02,039
to look in the rearview mirror, and it is at

185
00:11:02,039 --> 00:11:04,720
this very moment that the woman appears. That ghost has

186
00:11:04,759 --> 00:11:08,519
caused all kinds of accidents. Here Jarvi's lose control and crash.

187
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,279
There's another part here, but before that. This reminds me

188
00:11:11,399 --> 00:11:13,320
of stories like is it like the is it the

189
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,240
Donkey Lady Bridge? I think I remember growing up. If

190
00:11:16,279 --> 00:11:18,840
anyone listening is from the Rio Grande Valley, there's this

191
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:23,159
stretch of road I think it's one oh seven in Edinburgh,

192
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,519
like on the edge of or the outskirts of Edinburgh,

193
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,720
and they would say that you there was there was

194
00:11:27,799 --> 00:11:29,799
a Why I think it was a convenience store called

195
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,639
the Why out there. But they said that if when

196
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,960
you if you drove past that late at night, that

197
00:11:34,039 --> 00:11:36,399
you would see a beautiful woman on the side of

198
00:11:36,399 --> 00:11:39,279
the road, and that you were supposed to offer her

199
00:11:39,399 --> 00:11:42,600
a ride. But before you got to the destination or

200
00:11:42,759 --> 00:11:45,279
when you like looked back, she wouldn't be there anymore.

201
00:11:45,279 --> 00:11:48,279
She would Vanish and they said that a different version

202
00:11:48,279 --> 00:11:50,759
of that same story was that if you saw her

203
00:11:50,799 --> 00:11:53,080
and you did not offer her a ride, that when

204
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,360
you looked in the rearview mirror, she would be in

205
00:11:55,399 --> 00:11:57,399
your back seat and she would have the face of

206
00:11:57,639 --> 00:11:59,720
a horse. I think I may have mentioned this in

207
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,720
the episode of the Donkey Lady Bridge, because this idea

208
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:07,519
of a horse or a equine kind of shaped face

209
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,840
is something I think that we see repeated in these

210
00:12:09,879 --> 00:12:12,840
types of stories. Okay, but this continues the same context

211
00:12:12,919 --> 00:12:15,960
serves as a framework for some legends about the Takududa

212
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,679
told in Onduas. According to the testimony of informant from Thagusigappa,

213
00:12:19,879 --> 00:12:21,960
she is the girlfriend of a bus driver who died

214
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,960
when his vehicle collided with a taxi. Since then, her

215
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,759
ghost has wandered the streets looking for taxi drivers to

216
00:12:27,799 --> 00:12:30,360
take revenge on. When the taxi drivers pick her up,

217
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,639
they look at her, and when they turn around to

218
00:12:32,879 --> 00:12:35,200
collect their fare, she was no longer there, and she

219
00:12:35,279 --> 00:12:37,960
doesn't make any noise or anything to get out. They

220
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,360
say that when they turn around to look back, she

221
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,639
is already there with a knife and stabs them and

222
00:12:42,799 --> 00:12:45,600
kills them. They say that she has already killed about

223
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,200
four taxi drivers. That was a story from someone, and

224
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,600
it continues in other Ondurdan stories. She is described as

225
00:12:51,639 --> 00:12:53,679
the ghost of a woman with high heels who is

226
00:12:53,799 --> 00:12:56,480
murdered in the streets by an individual who tried to

227
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,759
abuse her. As in certain versions of Layorona, this figure

228
00:12:59,799 --> 00:13:02,919
is all associated with the motif of the contradictory perception

229
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,879
of the feeling of danger and the proximity of sound.

230
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,519
So I tried to add that in the story because

231
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,039
again this is I think what we see with like Elsilbon.

232
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,639
I think some people have said this about Latusa's or

233
00:13:13,639 --> 00:13:16,759
other kind of bird cryptids, is that the closer there

234
00:13:16,919 --> 00:13:20,000
sound is. So with Elsilon, it's the whistling. With la

235
00:13:20,519 --> 00:13:24,039
it's it's her weeping. With Latakunda, it's her high heels.

236
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,960
The closer that you hear her, the further away that

237
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,039
she is, versus the further away that she is, that

238
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,679
means that she's actually nearby. So this just kind of

239
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,360
echoes that it says. They also say that when footsteps

240
00:13:35,399 --> 00:13:38,399
are heard nearby, it means that Latakunuda is already far away.

241
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,159
But if the footsteps were heard far away, it means

242
00:13:41,159 --> 00:13:43,600
that she is approaching. So again, I don't know what

243
00:13:43,639 --> 00:13:46,559
it is with this. Maybe I think maybe it's just

244
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,240
a trope that people use in these kinds of stories,

245
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:54,799
is to add this element of confusion or disorientation. It

246
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,360
makes it more dangerous because you think you're safe because

247
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,600
you would think, Okay, it's far away, I can hear

248
00:13:59,639 --> 00:14:01,679
as far. But that's not the truth. That's when you

249
00:14:01,799 --> 00:14:04,080
let your guard down, you're more vulnerable, and that's when

250
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,279
they get you. Right. So yeah, just these kinds of

251
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,799
I think interesting connections between these stories of women on

252
00:14:09,879 --> 00:14:12,399
the side of the road, like hitchhikers or whatever. But

253
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,879
this one was interesting because there's a distinct story or

254
00:14:15,919 --> 00:14:19,480
a distinct cause for the reason that she haunts, right,

255
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,639
is that and I guess tagically there's two is. Some

256
00:14:22,639 --> 00:14:27,240
people say that she witnessed her, her boyfriend, her lover

257
00:14:27,399 --> 00:14:30,200
being killed by a taxi driver. I think some people

258
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,440
also go so far as to say that the reason

259
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,600
that the taxi driver, and that's why I included it

260
00:14:34,639 --> 00:14:37,159
in the story, the reason that the taxi driver collided

261
00:14:37,159 --> 00:14:39,440
with the bus is because he was distracted because he

262
00:14:39,519 --> 00:14:42,759
was looking at her, and so she I guess Eventually,

263
00:14:42,879 --> 00:14:45,159
either she dies of a broken heart, maybe she dies

264
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,559
by suicide. It's not clear how she passes, but her

265
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,039
spirit is still so unsettled and so upset that she

266
00:14:52,399 --> 00:14:55,679
takes it upon her to seek revenge on any taxi drivers,

267
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,720
which sorry taxi drivers, but if you're out there, be careful.

268
00:14:58,799 --> 00:15:02,120
And maybe you know that's falls into that realm of

269
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,279
the types of stories that are meant to discipline us

270
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,720
or to keep us in check. So I guess then

271
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,159
you could say that the takeaway from the story is

272
00:15:10,279 --> 00:15:12,480
don't be a distracted driver, because if you're distracted and

273
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,759
you're looking around, you're going to see Latakunuda and she's

274
00:15:14,759 --> 00:15:17,279
going to get you. And also plot twist, maybe this

275
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,360
one is for the women and for the femmes, and

276
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,120
the story now is don't objectify women. Don't be staring

277
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,799
at women like pieces of meat and objects in the street,

278
00:15:26,799 --> 00:15:28,399
because if you do, she's going to get in your

279
00:15:28,399 --> 00:15:30,080
car and she's going to get you. And then in

280
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,080
some versions she just simply disappears when they make it

281
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,519
to the destination. So again, if you're not distracted, if

282
00:15:35,519 --> 00:15:38,759
you're keeping your eyes forward on the road, then you're fine.

283
00:15:39,159 --> 00:15:42,360
So the next source that I have here is from

284
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,159
It's a blog called de Wustoon Duras and this is

285
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,679
again about taxi drivers, but it also includes story of

286
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,879
someone just doing chores late at night, so again it

287
00:15:53,879 --> 00:15:56,039
could be the whole thing of don't be out late

288
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:57,759
at night. This one's kind of a short one. It

289
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,840
says a neighbor from the Canadian neighbor tells of an

290
00:16:00,919 --> 00:16:03,559
encounter with a woman in high heels. It happened one

291
00:16:03,639 --> 00:16:05,200
night as he was used to staying out late at

292
00:16:05,279 --> 00:16:07,639
night in the blocks. He started smoking a cigarette and

293
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,679
it was almost three am. The atmosphere was calm. Suddenly

294
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,840
the wind started to get colder than usual, and then

295
00:16:12,879 --> 00:16:15,840
he heard footsteps approaching, but with the sound of heels.

296
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,279
He saw the silhouette of a woman coming. He didn't

297
00:16:18,279 --> 00:16:20,559
pay attention to it. What surprised him later was that

298
00:16:20,559 --> 00:16:23,080
the woman wasn't moving. All he could hear was the

299
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,399
clicking of heels. Immediately, he felt a chill run through

300
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,240
his entire body, and without thinking twice, he ran out,

301
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,679
and in the distance, he continued to hear the footsteps

302
00:16:31,679 --> 00:16:34,240
of heels as if they were following him. He entered

303
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,639
his house and from that day on he tried not

304
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,440
to wander around late at night, so again, behave stay home,

305
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,799
don't be out late at night, because the la tachunula

306
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,000
will get you. Another event that occurred in the same

307
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,399
neighborhood in the blocks of Zone two, tells us that

308
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,240
a young man was doing tasks in the early morning hours,

309
00:16:50,279 --> 00:16:52,879
approximately at one forty am, and that in front of

310
00:16:52,879 --> 00:16:55,039
the house he suddenly heard the sound of heels. He

311
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,279
thought it was a neighbor who worked late and had

312
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,639
just arrived home, But the strange thing was that the

313
00:16:59,639 --> 00:17:02,399
sound was short, only a few footsteps, and he did

314
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,119
not hear any door open. Later, on another day of

315
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,440
the same week, he had to repeat the same thing,

316
00:17:07,599 --> 00:17:09,759
staying doing chores in the living room of the house,

317
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,920
and almost at the same time, he heard the same

318
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,359
footsteps of heels again, and immediately, out of curiosity, he

319
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,920
positioned himself to observe through a hole in the door

320
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,559
while the sound of the footsteps came closer, hoping to

321
00:17:20,599 --> 00:17:22,599
be able to see who it was when they passed

322
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,039
exactly in front of the house. But such was his

323
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,839
astonishment when he heard the sound so close, as if

324
00:17:27,839 --> 00:17:30,039
someone was walking in heels in front of the door

325
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,079
and did not see anyone, not even a silhouette. And

326
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,599
to top it off, the blocks looked clear, and the

327
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,119
young man felt an intense fear that he couldn't finish

328
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,240
his task and instead went to his room to try

329
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,200
and calm down. Could it be an evil ghost, a

330
00:17:42,279 --> 00:17:45,039
soul in pain, or simply a woman. This page was

331
00:17:45,079 --> 00:17:48,160
originally in Spanish was translated into English, so sorry if

332
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,039
it sounded a little clunky, that's just Google Translate. And

333
00:17:51,079 --> 00:17:54,319
then again, there's another short version of the taxi driver

334
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,720
kind of version. This one happens in another city in

335
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,680
Honduras called dan Lee, and it says this event happens

336
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,759
in this of the hills don Lee. It is the

337
00:18:02,799 --> 00:18:05,680
taxi drivers who narrate this mysterious event. They say that

338
00:18:05,799 --> 00:18:08,119
late at night, they're working on the streets looking for passengers,

339
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,200
and they see a beautiful young woman wearing high heels

340
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,440
stop them and they take her. She starts talking to

341
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,440
the driver and says that she's coming from a party

342
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,759
and it's late and she's going home. The taxi driver

343
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,480
is driving according to the address that the young woman indicated,

344
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,759
and suddenly he no longer sees her in the back seat.

345
00:18:21,839 --> 00:18:24,559
But instead she is walking on the sidewalk without realizing

346
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,440
when she got out. There are several taxi drivers who

347
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,400
have gone through the same experience without knowing the explanation

348
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,799
for it. One of them supposes that it could be

349
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,880
the sole in pain of a young woman who is

350
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,200
perhaps assaulted and murdered when leaving a party. But the

351
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,519
strange thing is that nobody knows her despite the descriptions

352
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,079
and the detail that she is wearing very high heels.

353
00:18:44,279 --> 00:18:47,039
And I'm reading this verbatim. It says many taxi drivers

354
00:18:47,079 --> 00:18:49,279
no longer do the night route very often for fear

355
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,920
of this occurrence, since one of their colleagues went quote

356
00:18:52,039 --> 00:18:54,359
crazy because of it. One of the drivers says that

357
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,559
he pays close attention to who stops him, and if

358
00:18:56,599 --> 00:18:58,480
he sees that it is a beautiful young woman in

359
00:18:58,519 --> 00:19:00,960
a party dress and especially with high heels, he does

360
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,640
not let her get in and speeds up. So he's

361
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,720
just like, nope, sorry, sorry, okay, so so sorry to

362
00:19:06,799 --> 00:19:09,440
all the pretty ghouls in high heels like me, we

363
00:19:09,599 --> 00:19:11,640
just apparently can't get a ride. I think what I

364
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,279
really like about this story is that when you strip

365
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,319
kind of everything away from it, it's saying leave women alone,

366
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,359
Leave women alone when they're walking at night. Unfortunately it's like, well, no,

367
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,920
they should still get a ride. They need a ride

368
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,279
home maybe, but yeah, I don't know. It adds this

369
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,519
element of danger to approaching women late at night on

370
00:19:28,559 --> 00:19:30,799
the street, which I am one of those people where

371
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,519
if I'm walking, I will cross the road. I will

372
00:19:33,599 --> 00:19:36,119
not make you have to walk by me or near me,

373
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,680
especially if it's in the evening. And I'd never even

374
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,880
heard the story of the Takunuda before putting this episode together.

375
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,440
The next source that I have here is this looks

376
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,799
like it is a thesis by two folks. One of

377
00:19:47,839 --> 00:19:50,359
them was referenced in the first source that I had here.

378
00:19:50,519 --> 00:19:54,519
It's by Martinezreeez and Fernanda Maria. And this is an

379
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,640
oral narrative in Ondudas New explorations at the beginning of

380
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,079
the twenty first century. So this thing is kind of

381
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,240
spread out across different places, but if you search that

382
00:20:02,279 --> 00:20:04,279
you should be able to find it. There's a PDF

383
00:20:04,319 --> 00:20:06,680
that I found of it, and I have here the

384
00:20:06,839 --> 00:20:09,920
specific pages that I wanted to reference. Okay, so in

385
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,799
this thesis, it looks like they collected various anecdotes from

386
00:20:13,839 --> 00:20:18,599
people about all these different kinds of folklore and stories

387
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,839
from people in Ondudas. But this one a couple sections

388
00:20:21,839 --> 00:20:25,039
I wanted to references about Latakunuda. So the one here

389
00:20:25,519 --> 00:20:29,079
was collected by this woman named Stephanie Ferrufino, who is

390
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:33,720
from the Saint Lawrence Valley in Ondudas, and it's just

391
00:20:33,759 --> 00:20:37,640
her telling basically the same story about the taxi drivers.

392
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,440
It says that the taxi drivers don't pick women up

393
00:20:40,519 --> 00:20:43,319
at night because there's a woman called Lauda. She was

394
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,440
the girlfriend of a bus driver and that the bus

395
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,920
and the taxi crashed and that he died. This one,

396
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,720
actually there's a slight difference in it. It says that

397
00:20:51,839 --> 00:20:54,119
she was also in the bus and that they crashed

398
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,079
all together and that she died, and so now she,

399
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,119
you know, haunts the streets. But she was said to

400
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:03,200
have law hair, that she was attractive, that she wore

401
00:21:03,319 --> 00:21:06,119
high heels, and that's why they call her Latakunuda, and

402
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,960
that in Degusigapa they say that she comes out. In Vianueva,

403
00:21:10,039 --> 00:21:11,960
that when taxi drivers pick her up they look at

404
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,960
her or when they like try to collect the fair

405
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,000
that she's not there, that she doesn't make any noise,

406
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,400
so they don't hear her getting out of the car.

407
00:21:17,559 --> 00:21:20,640
She just vanishes if they're distracted and they look back

408
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,440
at her while they're driving, that she has a knife

409
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,799
and she she kills them. But the other parts of

410
00:21:25,799 --> 00:21:28,200
this that I wanted to read, this is like a

411
00:21:28,319 --> 00:21:31,880
very lengthy document. Yeah, these are just collected from people.

412
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,880
This is from someone named Cecilia Mehia and she's from

413
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:40,039
the Central and she says that she was a very

414
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,960
tall woman, she was young, she had long hair, just

415
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,200
describing how she looked, that she had big lips, that

416
00:21:46,279 --> 00:21:48,559
she was dressed in white, and she wore heels, like

417
00:21:48,599 --> 00:21:50,720
super high heels. And they say that she is a

418
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,200
woman that comes out in the middle of the night

419
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:56,799
in Degusigapa, that people can hear her takuasos, that they

420
00:21:56,799 --> 00:21:59,200
can hear her high heels in the streets. Another one

421
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:03,039
that says and that she leaves a trace of perfume

422
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,000
in her trail that it just attracts men. And then

423
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,839
this next one says it's called the tragedy La tak

424
00:22:10,559 --> 00:22:13,440
Takula leaves between midnight and three in the morning in

425
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,160
the pedestrian streets. They say that she was a pretty girl,

426
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,480
she had long hair, that she went to a party

427
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,799
in her dress and her heels, that she was on

428
00:22:21,839 --> 00:22:24,000
her way back home, that a man assaulted her. She

429
00:22:24,079 --> 00:22:27,680
managed to escape him, she ran away in the streets

430
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,519
wearing her heels, screaming for someone to help her, but

431
00:22:30,519 --> 00:22:32,079
that no one came out to help her, and that

432
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,400
the man caught her and he ended up killing her,

433
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,519
and that now her spirit remains on those streets. That's

434
00:22:38,559 --> 00:22:41,319
like the other kind of popular version of this story

435
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,880
of Latakunulda that I keep seeing is that if it's

436
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,880
not the taxi driver, it's that she was assaulted and

437
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,759
ultimately murdered, and that her spirit, you know, of course,

438
00:22:49,799 --> 00:22:53,240
would remain disgruntled. Again, we bring in this idea that

439
00:22:53,279 --> 00:22:56,119
we always talk about here of traumatic events and how

440
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,359
they leave an imprint of energy. Obviously that would do

441
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,440
it right. This last one on here that was able

442
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,440
to find in this PDF is from someone named Zelenya

443
00:23:04,559 --> 00:23:09,720
Eggi Jure from the Tumbla in Fracisco, Morasan, Okay. So

444
00:23:09,759 --> 00:23:12,119
this says that that she used to live in a

445
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,920
house I think like off of a sidewalk, and that

446
00:23:15,079 --> 00:23:18,160
every day at twelve at night that they would hear

447
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,799
heels in the streets, and that they were that they

448
00:23:20,799 --> 00:23:22,920
sounded like they were quick steps, like if they were running,

449
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:24,599
and that when they went out to see what it was,

450
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,799
they didn't see anybody there. They see that only men

451
00:23:28,079 --> 00:23:31,599
can see La Tacunuda, and that also when her steps again,

452
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,680
when her steps are heard nearby, it's that she's far

453
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:36,920
but that if the steps are far away, it's because

454
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,680
she's approaching you or she's nearby. So the next one

455
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,759
that I have or the last one that I have. Actually,

456
00:23:42,839 --> 00:23:45,920
this is a very different version of this story. This

457
00:23:46,079 --> 00:23:50,319
is actually a story of La Taku Nuda from Cuba.

458
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,960
This has nothing to do with taxi drivers. It said

459
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:57,440
that her spirit roams staircases in haunted or abandoned homes.

460
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,000
This is something that was written on Medium dot com

461
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,680
by a user called Chaotic Pair. This is actually posted

462
00:24:03,759 --> 00:24:06,359
in April of twenty twenty four, so very recently. It

463
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,440
says echoes of the Night exploring the legend of Latako Nuda.

464
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,039
And I'm not going to read the entire thing. It's

465
00:24:12,079 --> 00:24:14,599
not super long, but it says, step into the shadowy

466
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,279
realms of Cuban folklore where the legend of Latako Nuda

467
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,400
takes center stage. Described as a ghostly woman clad in

468
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,559
black with a veiled face and long flowing hair, Latako

469
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,559
Nuda is said to appear to unsuspecting victims as they

470
00:24:26,559 --> 00:24:30,200
ascend or descend staircases. The only warning of her presence

471
00:24:30,279 --> 00:24:33,240
is the faint sound of her high heeled shoes tapping

472
00:24:33,279 --> 00:24:36,920
against the steps, drawing ever closer with each passing moment.

473
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,599
As children, you are warned never to look back as

474
00:24:39,599 --> 00:24:42,319
you climb the stairs, and most important of all, never

475
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,039
dally as you go down. In some versions, she is

476
00:24:45,039 --> 00:24:47,559
said to have long nails that can act like claws,

477
00:24:47,599 --> 00:24:50,240
and some have seen her dressed in all black except

478
00:24:50,279 --> 00:24:54,400
for her red heels. Okay, red bottoms. M So again,

479
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,680
this is another kind of go warning kind of a story.

480
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,400
It's like, be careful in staircases, don't like look where

481
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,640
you're walking, don't be looking around. I'll be messing around

482
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,799
on the stairs because if you are, UNA's going to

483
00:25:04,839 --> 00:25:07,359
get you, which to me would make me want to

484
00:25:07,519 --> 00:25:10,880
run up or downstairs right, which I don't think that

485
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,960
is the goal, but I would run if I heard that,

486
00:25:14,079 --> 00:25:16,079
or I would run so that I wouldn't encounter her,

487
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,119
I don't know. Another piece of this says, when I

488
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,039
was growing up, my best friend at school came one

489
00:25:20,079 --> 00:25:22,720
day retelling her encounter with the entity. She said that

490
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,400
she had sneaked out from home to go to a

491
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,759
party and had returned to her building in the early

492
00:25:26,799 --> 00:25:29,039
hours of the morning. She was tired and her feet

493
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,400
hurt since she had stolen her older sister's heels that

494
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,880
didn't quite fit. As she started to climb to her

495
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,640
fourth floor apartment. We do not have many elevators in Cuba,

496
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,000
particularly in the buildings that are less than eight floors,

497
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,960
she all of a sudden could hear heels going up

498
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,039
the stairs loudly. With her only problem, the sound was

499
00:25:45,039 --> 00:25:47,799
completely different from her heels. She said. She started to

500
00:25:47,839 --> 00:25:50,799
worry when she heard a female voice start to hum.

501
00:25:50,839 --> 00:25:52,960
As a wave of fear rushed through her and she

502
00:25:53,079 --> 00:25:55,359
ready to sprint up the stairs, she heard a very

503
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:59,799
calm but completely inhuman voice say, do not run. With

504
00:25:59,839 --> 00:26:01,880
her her heart in her throat, she did her best

505
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,119
to quickly but safely get to her floor. She swears

506
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,359
that as she slowly slipped into her home, she heard

507
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,400
those high heels begin the descent back down the building

508
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,680
and a haunting hum softly filled the space. Again. See again,

509
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,279
that would have just made me run if I hear

510
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:22,640
disembodied heels behind me, and then as I'm getting ready

511
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,119
to run, they say, don't run. Guess what I'm doing.

512
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,160
I'm a runner, I'm a track star. I am not.

513
00:26:27,559 --> 00:26:30,200
I'm not gonna listen to whatever that is. I am

514
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,640
going to get out of there. So this says that

515
00:26:32,799 --> 00:26:34,759
I want to read the origin part of this. It

516
00:26:34,799 --> 00:26:37,880
says while the origins le Takunula remain shrouded in mystery.

517
00:26:38,039 --> 00:26:41,359
Some believe her legend is rooted in tales of lost love, betrayal,

518
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,920
or tragic accidents that occurred on staircases. Others suggest she

519
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,599
is the vengeful spirit of a woman wronged, condemned to

520
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,799
roam the earth in search of justice personally growing up,

521
00:26:50,839 --> 00:26:53,759
every version I ever heard mentioned she had an accident

522
00:26:53,799 --> 00:26:56,599
of some sort down some stairs and now haunted steep

523
00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,160
or dangerous stairs. This is really cool. I'm actually want

524
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,880
to reach out to this person because they're actively posting

525
00:27:03,079 --> 00:27:05,559
and this is really cool, and I would love to

526
00:27:05,599 --> 00:27:08,319
hear more about Cuban folklore. So Chaotic pair, if you

527
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,839
actually are listening, you feel free to reach out to me,

528
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:12,839
but I'm going to reach out to you. So yeah,

529
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,359
it was really really cool to come across this one.

530
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:19,880
It's again a completely different culture, but it's this idea

531
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,079
of a woman's spirit wearing high heels. And let me

532
00:27:23,079 --> 00:27:26,160
tell you something, this is the slayest. This is the

533
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,920
most slay she is serving giving. She's very demure. You

534
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,559
see how she walks down the stairs slowly. She's demure.

535
00:27:33,039 --> 00:27:35,359
She's not like these other ghouls. She takes her time

536
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,519
on the steps. She's very cute. See. I don't know

537
00:27:37,519 --> 00:27:39,240
if you've all seen that trend on TikTok, but I'm

538
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,279
obsessed with it right now. But yeah, again, just really

539
00:27:41,319 --> 00:27:43,680
fun to make these connections to different cultures. I think

540
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,839
this was the only other one that popped up in

541
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,079
the first page of Google results about a high healed

542
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,920
spirit about Lata Gunuda. So if you have your own

543
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,200
story about Lata Gunuda, obviously, always, always, always, feel free

544
00:27:55,200 --> 00:28:14,319
to send in your versions. Welcome back, girlfriends. Honestly, this

545
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,640
story just inspired me to make a bunch of tiktoks

546
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,480
wearing my heels. I have a collection of heels. I

547
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,400
don't know if anybody listening. I don't know if you

548
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:22,880
all know this. I don't know if you know this,

549
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,119
you listener, But I have a collection of heels that

550
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,200
I like to wear heels sometimes when I go out.

551
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,240
When I say I'm gholie pop, I mean it. And

552
00:28:31,319 --> 00:28:33,680
I don't get a chance to wear them often anymore.

553
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,119
You know, I'm in my thirties. My feet hurt very

554
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,960
easily now. But I will say, I do marry the heels.

555
00:28:40,039 --> 00:28:42,599
I do not take them off again. I'm demurror. I'm

556
00:28:42,599 --> 00:28:44,759
not like these other ghouls. I don't take my heels

557
00:28:44,759 --> 00:28:47,839
off and walk in the streets in the club with

558
00:28:47,839 --> 00:28:49,960
my shoes off. I commit to it, and then I

559
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,359
don't feel my toes for a week. But I can

560
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:57,480
just imagine the funny tiktoks I can make about latakun

561
00:28:57,519 --> 00:28:59,960
muda and walking to my heels, especially with that sound

562
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:05,759
that's like let it and then the heels, the clickings

563
00:29:05,759 --> 00:29:10,480
of the I don't know anyway, I'm I feel like

564
00:29:10,519 --> 00:29:13,759
I am. My mind is slowly unraveling. The wrinkles in

565
00:29:13,799 --> 00:29:16,119
my brain are smoothing out. I don't know what's happening,

566
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,319
but you know it. But you're here with me, and
