0:03people sensitive to topics such as
0:06secret societies , mysteries and
0:08banquets of the hidden elite , satanic
0:11rituals , or bloody rituals of the
0:14Brazilian secret elite , things like
0:17that . People who are sensitive to and
0:20triggered by these themes should not
0:22watch the following video , nor should
0:24children . So , in that case , remove the
0:27children from the room and enjoy .
0:30If what this woman recounted really
0:33happened , this may be one of the most
0:35disturbing accounts that has ever been
0:38on this channel . Five young women
0:41accept a cleaning job at a country
0:44house in the interior of São Paulo ,
0:46with pay far above the norm and a
0:49single requirement : no questions asked .
0:53What seemed like just a temporary job
0:56begins to reveal strange details ,
0:59mysterious guests , preparations for a
1:02secret meeting , and a sequence of
1:05events that defies any logical
1:07explanation . To this day , more than 10
1:11years later , they still avoid talking
1:14about that strange night . And there is
1:18a detail that makes this story much
1:19more frightening . They feel they were
1:23in another world when they watched what
1:27they considered a satanic ritual . Could
1:31it be ? Now take a deep breath , because
1:35this story begins in a completely
1:37ordinary way , but ends in a place from
1:40which perhaps no one should be able to
1:43return , because here you don't hear the
1:46story , you live it .
1:51Seven Beyond , we brought the horror
1:53back . I'm going to tell you the story I
1:55received . I ask for your help . Try to
1:58identify what being this is ? What has
2:01been of the statue , represented by the
2:04statue , what demon or entity does it
2:06describe ? Because I couldn't . And if
2:10you can , through your studies of
2:12identifying these beings , write it here
2:15in the comments so I know , okay ? Let's
2:18go to a story that begins more or less
2:21like this . Hi , Luciano and everyone
2:24from the Seven Beyond channel , you can
2:26call me Elisa . I'm one of the friends
2:29in this story and that's how I'll sign
2:32at the end . This story I'm going to
2:35tell has to do with this subject of
2:38elite parties , banquets of the hidden
2:41elite , sects and rituals , but no one
2:44will ever believe us . I'm speaking on
2:47behalf of my friends . They authorized
2:49me to tell you this story . They never
2:53really believed it , but we also never
2:55went through all the things that the
2:58people who send you the stories have
3:00gone through . It was the first time and
3:03, thank God , the only time . We have a
3:06supernatural story , the four of us ,
3:09that seems to mix devil worship and
3:12parallel universes , maybe seven beyond ,
3:15I don't know , but that's for you and
3:18the people on the channel to decide . I
3:21wrote this story for you in several
3:23parts . My husband revised and rewrote
3:25it . He's a lawyer and made the text a
3:28little more correct and serious . Well ,
3:31there were four of us friends , around
3:3424 years old at the time , all single .
3:38We lived in the same neighborhood , on
3:40the outskirts of São Paulo . It just so
3:43happened that at the end of that year
3:45we were all unemployed . A real
3:47coincidence . Then , one of us heard
3:51about a cleaning job at a country house
3:54that was supposed to happen over a
3:57weekend , on December 21st of that year .
4:01This friend of mine contacted them to
4:04find out more details and the
4:06explanation was this : they were looking
4:09for some handbags to clean and organize
4:12a property before and after an event .
4:15The person who provided the information
4:18made it very clear that it would be an
4:20adult-only event , confidential , and
4:22requiring complete discretion . In
4:25return , the payment was far above what
4:27one usually earns for this type of
4:30service . We liked the offer , and that's
4:34how the four of us were summoned to a
4:37very beautiful mansion in the south of
4:40São Paulo . We were greeted by a woman
4:43who seemed to be the housekeeper or
4:46secretary . She was a woman of about 55
4:50years old , very serious , extremely
4:53discreet , and of few words . She
4:56explained that she wouldn't be present
4:59during the event at the country house ,
5:01but that she would leave all the
5:04instructions organized and that there
5:06would be an organizer present at all
5:09times . According to her , we needed to
5:12arrive very early on December 21st at a
5:15specific country house . From there , we
5:18would be taken to another country house
5:20, a neighboring property , where the
5:23event would take place . Our job would
5:26be to thoroughly clean the place , even
5:29though it already appeared clean . When
5:33we finished , we would return to the
5:35first country house , where we would
5:37spend the night . The following day , we
5:40would return to the main property where
5:43the event took place to do the final
5:46cleanup after everything was over . She
5:50also explained that there would be a
5:52driver responsible for transportation
5:54between the two properties . The
5:56distance between the properties was
5:59approximately 5 km , maybe less , passing
6:02through an isolated road or through a
6:05nearby wooded area , as the properties
6:08were neighbors . Therefore , no one
6:11should attempt the journey on their own
6:14, because it would be very difficult to
6:16cross the woods or go by road . The
6:19offer seemed good and the money was
6:22worth it , so we accepted . On the
6:26appointed day , the driver met us at the
6:29Barra Funda metro station at 5:00 AM .
6:32In addition to the four of us , there
6:34was a fifth woman who would work with
6:36us and had gone there because of the
6:38advertisement . We didn't know her . This
6:41woman's name was Socorro . She was a
6:44beautiful , friendly woman , about our
6:47age . And she stood out because of a
6:51large , round mole on her face next to
6:55her nose , which gave her a different
6:59charm . She was very pretty . We got into
7:02the van and continued our journey to a
7:04city in the interior of São Paulo ,
7:06chatting and laughing all the while .
7:08The driver didn't seem interested in
7:11talking to us at all . He left a radio
7:14playing old songs for almost the entire
7:17trip – you know , those elevator music
7:19radios , Luciano ? He even stopped to
7:23refuel and asked if anyone needed to
7:25use the bathroom . After that , we
7:27continued on our way . Two and a half
7:30hours later , we arrived at the farm
7:33where we would be staying . It was 8:00
7:36AM when the driver parked . He told us
7:40we had an hour to get ready , put our
7:42things away , and settle in at the farm
7:45because he would return at 9:00 AM to
7:48take us to the other property where the
7:51party would be , and that we had to have
7:54everything ready beforehand . The farm
7:58where we stayed was simple and very
8:00pleasant . It had a small pool , a
8:02barbecue , and a garden . The house had
8:05three bedrooms and was very well
8:07maintained . We started settling in ,
8:09choosing our rooms and organizing our
8:12things . It was at that moment that I
8:15realized that Maria , one of my friends ,
8:17and Socorro , whom we had just met that
8:20morning — the girl with the mole on her
8:23face next to her nose — had instantly
8:26become friends . It was immediate ,
8:29automatic . The two started talking as
8:31if they had known each other for years .
8:34They took a walk around the outside
8:37area , saw the barbecue , looked at the
8:40pool , and were soon making plans for
8:43fun when work was over that day . The
8:46driver returned an hour later and took
8:49us to another property , the one where
8:51the event would take place . The
8:54difference between the two properties
8:56was enormous . The first one , where we
8:59stayed , was simple and pleasant . The
9:02second one seemed made to accommodate
9:05many people . It had a large pool ,
9:08extensive green area , parking , and 12
9:10bedrooms scattered throughout the
9:13building . As soon as we arrived , we met
9:17the event organizer . He didn't seem
9:20rude or unfriendly ; on the contrary , he
9:23spoke politely , but he was direct and
9:25gave the impression that he liked
9:28everything working exactly as he had
9:30planned . He explained that the property
9:33was already clean , but that it needed
9:36to be spotless . He told us to open the
9:39windows , air out the rooms , clean
9:41cobwebs , check the bathrooms and
9:44bedrooms , and apply cleaning product to
9:47all the floors . Some windows also
9:49needed special attention because they
9:52were covered in dust . We started
9:55working immediately . Maria and Socorro
9:59put on music for us to listen to while
10:03we worked . This made everything lighter
10:05. Despite the size of the property , the
10:08atmosphere was good . Each of us took on
10:11a part of the cleaning and we
10:13progressed very quickly . Everything was
10:15going normally , but as the hours passed
10:18, some things started to catch our
10:20attention . Several suppliers began to
10:23arrive , bringing materials for that
10:26evening's meeting . The organizer was on
10:30the phone the whole time and repeatedly
10:33mentioned the same thing : solstice
10:36meeting . We had no idea what a solstice
10:40was , but he seemed very concerned that
10:44everything would be ready before the
10:47guests arrived . He kept emphasizing
10:50that we needed to speed up the cleaning
10:53because at 4:00 or 4:30 pm , people
10:56would start arriving and we would have
10:59to leave . According to him , that was
11:02the time when the participants would be
11:04most present , right ? Since the work was
11:08progressing well , at a certain point ,
11:10he called me aside , this organizer . He
11:13told me he had noticed that I was the
11:15most serious of the group and that the
11:17cleaning was already quite advanced . He
11:21asked if I could help him with some
11:24organizational task . I agreed and
11:27started to accompany him . The first
11:29thing he asked me to do was to organize
11:32several chairs that had just arrived .
11:34They weren't ordinary plastic chairs as
11:37I had imagined . They were heavy metal
11:40chairs , all identical and very chic . I
11:43took them one by one to the garden and
11:46began to position them as he had
11:49instructed . It was then that I noticed
11:52there was a small platform set up in
11:54that area , appearing just like a low
11:57stage . As he was distributing the
11:59chairs , I kept wondering what kind of
12:01event would possibly require all of
12:03that . I thought about asking a question
12:06, but decided to remain silent . I was
12:08there to work and get paid for my
12:11service . A short time later , more
12:14deliveries began to arrive . Boxes of
12:17wine , glasses , red fabrics , and several
12:19torches arrived . Everything was taken
12:23to the outside area , to the back of the
12:26property , the area where I was setting
12:28up the chairs and where the stage was .
12:31They also unrolled a carpet in that
12:34entire area , giving the space the
12:37appearance of a ceremony or
12:39presentation . It was at that moment
12:42that I truly began to believe that this
12:44wouldn't just be an ordinary party . The
12:47impression became even stronger when
12:49the candles arrived . Even so , I
12:51continued working without saying
12:54anything . When everything seemed
12:56finally ready , the organizer gathered
12:59the five of us who had worked there ,
13:02thanked us for our work , and said we
13:04were dismissed for the day . He
13:07explained that the driver would take us
13:10to the farm and return the following
13:12morning to pick us up so we could go
13:14back there and clean up after the party
13:17. We would do the final cleaning of the
13:20farm early in the morning , after the
13:23event , and when everything was finished
13:25, we would be taken back to São Paulo .
13:28He warned that , since we were from the
13:30region where everything was taking
13:32place , it was important that no one
13:35leave the farm at night , especially
13:37since there was nothing in the
13:39surrounding area . The others were
13:42getting ready to leave at that moment .
13:45That's when the man looked at me and
13:47said he'd like me to stay a little
13:49longer . According to him , he still
13:52needed help with some final preparation
13:55details and he would pay me extra for
13:57it . I agreed to stay . The truth is ,
14:01extra money always makes a difference ,
14:03and up to that point nothing really
14:05serious had happened . The organizer
14:08seemed satisfied with the work I had
14:10done during the day and said he only
14:13needed this little help to get
14:15everything ready before the guests
14:18arrived . He said the driver would take
14:20me to meet my friends at the country
14:22house in less than half an hour . I
14:25started accompanying him while he
14:27finished the preparations . I helped
14:29distribute the candles around the
14:31places so that it would be the way he
14:34wanted . He showed me where , and I
14:36placed the objects there . I organized
14:39other details of the space where the
14:41chairs were set up and also helped
14:44position the kerosene torches . I even
14:47lit them one by one as he instructed . I
14:51still didn't ask any questions . The
14:54more time passed , the more I felt that
14:56this wasn't just going to be an
14:59end-of-year get-together , but I also
15:02didn't want to meddle in matters that
15:04were far from my business . I was able
15:08to touch everything , practically
15:10everything , except for a trumpet that
15:12was placed on a pedestal on top of the
15:15stage . The atmosphere changed
15:17completely as our preparations
15:20progressed . The sun was already setting
15:23, and the lit torches gave the garden a
15:26somewhat strange , somewhat frightening
15:28appearance . Candles were scattered
15:31around the metal chairs and the small
15:34stage that I had helped to organize .
15:37The red fabrics that had arrived during
15:39the afternoon were positioned in
15:41various places around the venue .
15:44Everything seemed to have been prepared
15:46for some kind of ceremony . Shortly
15:48before dark , the organizer's cell phone
15:51rang . He answered , listened for a few
15:54seconds , and replied that everything
15:56was ready . When he hung up , he
15:58explained that the guests would start
16:01arriving soon and that some were
16:03already very close to the property .
16:05Then he thanked me for my help and
16:08accompanied me to the entrance , where
16:10the driver's van was waiting to take me
16:13back to the farm where I was staying .
16:16He was already there waiting , he had
16:18already taken my friends , and all that
16:21was left was for me to go back to sleep
16:23, socialize , or do whatever I wanted
16:25there . I got into the car , and the
16:28driver , before starting the engine ,
16:30asked me for just a moment . He said he
16:33needed to quickly use the bathroom
16:35right there on the property . Well ,
16:39Luciano , it was during those few
16:42minutes of waiting that the first
16:44things that I consider truly strange
16:47that weekend happened . While I was
16:51waiting inside the vehicle , a huge
16:53truck entered the property . It had no
16:57company name , no logo , or any
16:59identification on the truck bed . It
17:03looked like a regular moving truck .
17:05Some men began unloading heavy objects
17:08from the back , and the first one
17:11immediately caught my attention . It was
17:15a huge carved stone that looked like a
17:19tabletop , but which I now know was an
17:22altar . And even today I can't say for
17:27sure what I saw , but I swear it looked
17:30like dark , reddish stains scattered on
17:34the surface of that stone . Irregular
17:38stone , unpolished stone , altar stone .
17:43At the time I had the impression that
17:45it was stained with blood , ancient
17:48blood . Soon after , they unloaded a
17:51statue . Hmm . That statue caused me even
17:55more discomfort . I tried to pretend to
17:58myself that it was an ornament , a
18:01decoration , or some kind of rich fool's
18:04work of art , but it wasn't — it was a
18:06stone figure in the form of a horrible
18:09creature . Today I consider it a demon ,
18:12but I don't know . I've already said
18:14that I'm an incredible observer . I have
18:17an almost photographic memory , great
18:19for describing things that have marked
18:22me . And I saw that statue clearly , the
18:25size of a person . I'll describe it here
18:28, Luciano , if that helps you identify
18:32what idol it was . It was a statue made
18:36entirely of a somewhat rough stone , the
18:38color of construction sand , you know ?
18:41Very thick and full of little holes . It
18:44looked like baked clay , the really
18:46rustic kind , you know ? She was standing
18:49on top of a perfectly straight , flat
18:52square block , which looked like a very
18:54thick brick made of the same material
18:57as the statue . And his feet didn't have
19:00human toes . The ankles were very thick
19:05and ended in claws , hooves split in the
19:09middle , with two large , triangular
19:12points facing forward , firmly nailed to
19:17that stone base . The legs were chubby ,
19:21like two long , robust rolls , and they
19:24fit perfectly , one next to the other ,
19:27leaving only a gap in the middle . And
19:31that's where the bad part comes in .
19:33There was a very thick snake coiled
19:36around him , a snake that was part of
19:38the sculpture . This snake started
19:41climbing up the leg that was on the
19:44right side ( from the viewer's
19:46perspective ) , went around behind the
19:48calf , appeared on the other side ,
19:51crossed in front of the shins and went
19:54up through that gap in the middle of
19:56the two legs . And the creature , this
19:59statue , was completely naked , you see ?
20:02Showing everything , with the male
20:06genitalia nicely sculpted at hip level .
20:10His member was completely exposed . His
20:13member was even like that , you see ,
20:16Luciano ? It wasn't pointing downwards .
20:18Pointing straight up , right in the
20:20middle of his belly . The snake-like
20:23structure grazed under his member and
20:27climbed up , making a very marked and
20:30crooked S shape before stopping . God
20:34forbid I remember that . This being's
20:37body was very thin and had a strange
20:39pattern on its chest . There was a deep
20:42line that cut across the chest right in
20:44the middle , from top to bottom . And on
20:47either side of these lines protruded
20:50long , repeated bumps , resembling the
20:53steps of a ladder . But to me , they were
20:57the ribs of this being sticking out ,
20:59like armor or the chest of a skeleton ,
21:02you know ? The arms weren't the same .
21:06The arm on the left side , as you looked
21:09at it , had its elbow bent downwards ,
21:12close to the body , and the hand was
21:15raised to shoulder height , with the
21:18palm wide open , looking at us . The
21:21fingers were thick , stretched upwards
21:24and slightly spread , just like someone
21:27telling you to stop or giving a church
21:30blessing . The other arm , the one on the
21:33right side as viewed from the viewer's
21:36perspective , was stretched down along
21:38the body , but slightly to the side . The
21:42hand rested down near the thigh , with
21:44the palm facing upwards and fingers
21:47slightly bent inwards , as if it were
21:49asking for something or perhaps holding
21:51an invisible shell . And the creature
21:55even had four wings . Can you believe it
21:57? Two wings emerged from behind the
22:00shoulders and rose pointing towards the
22:03sky , ending almost at the top of the
22:06head . They looked like long , stiff ,
22:09sculpted feathers , you know ? Full of
22:12deep , straight lines from top to bottom
22:15. The other two wings , emerging from
22:18below the waist behind it , descended
22:21pointing towards the ground , covering
22:24the sides of the thighs and legs with
22:27the same mass of sculpted vertical
22:29lines , like feathers themselves . The
22:33head was a horror . The neck was short
22:36and wide , and the head was large ,
22:38somewhat round at the bottom and
22:40tapering at the top . Right at the top
22:42of its crown were two little points
22:44joined together , just like two little
22:47horns sprouting in the middle of its
22:49head . The ears were large , long , and
22:52pointed , sticking out high on the sides
22:55like a bat's ears . The eyes were two
22:59large , almond-shaped balls , bulging out
23:02of the face , really wide , without that
23:04black part in the middle and without
23:07any eyelids . The nose was flat , pressed
23:10against the face and very wide ,
23:13resembling the snout of an old monkey
23:15or a large wild animal . And the mouth
23:18was a wide slit from one ear to the
23:21other , open like a fixed face that even
23:23gives you a shiver . It had a few
23:26pointed teeth , only on the lower part
23:29of the mouth . And the wings , as I said ,
23:32had large divisions that resembled
23:33feathers . The wings gave the impression
23:37of forming a large X behind this being .
23:40To this day I don't know what kind of
23:42animal it was , but as soon as I saw
23:45them unload it from the truck , a very
23:48strong wind blew across the entire
23:50property . Luciana , a really strong wind
23:53. Whether that statue had any
23:55connection to the wind , I don't know .
23:59While I was still observing all that ,
24:01another fact caught my attention . One
24:04of the guests ' cars arrived before the
24:07others . And when this guest got out of
24:10the vehicle , I was certain I knew him .
24:14Man , it was a famous person . I won't
24:17say whose name because I have no way to
24:19prove it and I don't want a lawsuit .
24:22I'm not going to accuse anyone of
24:23anything . But I recognized the face
24:25immediately . It was someone who
24:28appeared on television and whom any
24:30Brazilian would easily recognize . That
24:33confused me even more . A secret meeting
24:37, a strange ceremony being prepared , a
24:40stone altar with bloodstains , a
24:43frightening and demonic statue , and now
24:46a famous person arriving even before
24:49the event began . It was the first time
24:52since I had accepted that job that I
24:54felt such strong discomfort . When I
24:57arrived back at the ranch , driven by
24:59the driver , the ranch where we would
25:02spend the night , I found the girls in a
25:05completely different mood than I
25:07expected . Maria and Socorro had used
25:11the afternoon to buy bread , meat ,
25:13charcoal , drinks , and a few other
25:16things . The idea was simple . After a
25:20long day of work , tired and sleepy at
25:23the country house , we had to celebrate
25:26and have fun . We were going to have a
25:30barbecue , drink , and enjoy the pool
25:34before bed . The truth is , that greatly
25:37improved my mood and everyone else's .
25:41And I was still thinking about those
25:43ugly , strange things I had seen at the
25:46other property , but I preferred not to
25:49talk about it much with anyone at that
25:51moment . While we were starting to
25:54organize the barbecue , Márcia decided
25:57to tell us something that had bothered
25:59her quite a bit during the cleaning .
26:02She said that while she was cleaning
26:05one of the rooms at the event venue ,
26:08she found several tunics stored away .
26:11Some were red and others were black ,
26:15but all seemed brand new and made of
26:18satin . Along with them were also black
26:23masks that only covered the eye area ,
26:26like those masks used in costume balls .
26:31At the time , we tried to find a simpler
26:34explanation for those clothes . Maybe it
26:37was a themed party . Maybe some group
26:39liked a kind of theatrical performance ,
26:42I don't know . But no one could
26:45completely ignore the strangeness of
26:47the situation . That's when Maria
26:50decided to tell another story .
26:52According to her , there was a room in
26:54the property where a very old lady was
26:56staying . She was about 80 to 90 years
27:00old . A very wrinkled lady with messy
27:03white hair wearing a surgical mask , one
27:06of those they used during the pandemic ,
27:09you know ? The woman was sitting
27:12watching television . Maria accidentally
27:15opened the door to the room where she
27:17was and was startled , apologizing . The
27:21woman looked at her and waved happily ,
27:23an almost demented joy , you know ? And
27:26the woman's eyes were completely white ,
27:29as if she were blind . Even so , the TV
27:32was on . Maria found it strange because
27:36the elderly woman seemed completely
27:38neglected and isolated from all the
27:41activity in the house . Could she have
27:44been involved in all of this , or had
27:47she been involved in something before ?
27:50While we were talking about this ,
27:52someone remembered another discovery
27:55made during the cleaning . In one of the
27:59hallways there was a large box of
28:02condoms . And there weren't just a few ,
28:04you know ? It was a quantity far above
28:07normal for any common encounter . And
28:10that only served to fuel further
28:13speculation about what would take place
28:16at that crazy party . Socorro annoyed me
28:25by calling me " cocota " ( a slang term for
28:26a woman who is considered promiscuous
28:27or sexually provocative ) . A nickname
28:29she invented there to call me because I
28:32seemed more serious . She wanted to
28:34provoke me , but it was all in good fun .
28:37We were getting to know her that night .
28:40The conversation kept going back and
28:42forth about the strangeness of the farm
28:45, where the mysterious event with
28:47celebrities would take place . We talked
28:51about the robes , the masks of the old
28:54woman who watched television but seemed
28:57blind , the absurd amount of condoms ,
29:00and all the people who seemed to work
29:03for that solstice gathering . I also
29:07told them about what I had seen
29:09afterward , that I was helping the
29:11organizer alone . I talked about the
29:13stone that looked like an altar and was
29:16stained with blood , the frightening
29:18statue that looked like an alien or
29:20maybe a demon . The statue unloaded from
29:23the truck . And I also talked about the
29:25fact that I recognized the celebrity
29:27there . I told them who it was . As the
29:31hours went by , the drinks started to
29:34dwindle , but our blood alcohol levels
29:37began to rise steadily . Our drunkenness
29:41was increasing . The conversations
29:44became less and less responsible , less
29:46and less sensible . It was then that
29:50Socorro herself had the worst idea of
29:52the night , the idea that would define
29:55our fate . She asked why we were merely
29:59imagining what would happen at that
30:01meeting at the farm , when we could
30:04simply go there during that night to
30:06see it all with our own eyes instead of
30:09waiting around . At first , everyone
30:13laughed , thinking she was joking , but a
30:16few more minutes and a few more swigs
30:19of cachaça were enough for the idea to
30:22start seeming interesting and
30:24adventurous to everyone . Socorro wanted
30:27to find out who the celebrities were
30:29who were present at the event . Maybe
30:32even get an autograph . Maria was also
30:36very curious . Márcia , our other friend
30:39, said she wanted to understand what
30:42the tunics and masks were for . Maria
30:46Márcia , our other friend , and Socorro
30:49quickly agreed to go there . I was the
30:53only one who said it was a bad idea , a
30:56terrible idea . I explained that we
30:58hadn't been hired for this , that we
31:00could get into trouble if someone found
31:03us wandering around the property , that
31:05we didn't know if there were any dogs
31:07running loose there , if there were any
31:10animals . And also because we had been
31:13instructed not to leave the property at
31:15night , because we didn't know the place
31:18. But the more I talked , the more I
31:21realized that nobody was paying
31:23attention . They were already getting
31:25ready to leave . The truth is , they had
31:28all drunk too much . And to be honest , I
31:31had also drunk a lot . When I was about
31:35to start my new round of arguments for
31:37us not to go , I realized they were
31:39already leaving the property , and then
31:41I had to go with them . Not because I
31:44agreed with the idea , but because I
31:46didn't want to be alone at night , or
31:49rather , in the early morning hours , on
31:51that property , while the other four
31:53disappeared into the darkness , you know
31:56? So , we began to have a discussion
31:58about which would be the best way for
32:00us to get there . Going through the
32:02woods would be faster . There was
32:05practically a straight line between the
32:08farm we were at and the event farm , but
32:11the problem was crossing a dark , wooded
32:14area that none of us knew . The road
32:17route was longer and full of curves ,
32:20but it was much safer and easier for us
32:24to follow . After a few minutes of
32:27debating , we reached the same agreement
32:29and decided to go by road . We got ready
32:32and left the farm shortly after . We
32:35were still talking a lot of nonsense ,
32:37laughing and commenting on everything
32:39we had seen throughout the day , and
32:41even talking nonsense about what we
32:43would see , right ? Conjecturing ,
32:46inventing crazy theories , some even
32:49quite funny . We followed the shoulder
32:52of the road , which wasn't very safe . We
32:55had decided that this was the best way .
32:57The problem was that the distance
32:59seemed much greater and more tiring .
33:02After walking for a while , fatigue
33:04began to set in . So , since the full
33:07moon was illuminating the entire region
33:09, everything was very bright . The field
33:11, looking from above , seemed peaceful ,
33:14and we decided to take a shortcut
33:16through the open terrain . We crossed
33:19the field without any difficulty . There
33:22was no one around , no animals , just
33:25scattered trees , low grass , and the
33:28typical silence of a region far from
33:31the city . Because of the moonlight , the
33:35walk ended up being much easier than I
33:38had imagined . After some time , we
33:40reached an even higher area , a kind of
33:43hill from where we could already see
33:46part of the property , part of the farm
33:48where the event was taking place that
33:51morning . From there we couldn't see
33:55much . Most of the area remained hidden
33:57away by the buildings , the trees , and
33:59the very position of the terrain itself
34:01. We were on the wrong side , right ? In
34:03fact , what we could see was that there
34:07were lights on at the back of the farm ,
34:10which was where I had set up the chairs
34:13, the torch , the stage , etc. That's
34:16where everything was happening . So we
34:20decided to go around the area in
34:22silence . Or what did we see , Luciano ?
34:25We saw everything . And I'm going to
34:28tell you everything now . The event was
34:30happening outdoors . There were about 20
34:33people gathered in an open area of the
34:35garden . They were all wearing robes ,
34:39some red , some black , and all were
34:41masked . They were men and women , but
34:44from that distance it was difficult to
34:46identify who was who . The chairs I had
34:49been arranging during the afternoon
34:52were already occupied by these people .
34:54The participants were seated and facing
34:57, you know , facing the small platform
35:00that I had also helped to prepare . In
35:03the center of that space was the large
35:06stone table that I had seen before ,
35:08which I saw was an altar . And behind
35:11that table , in the background , was that
35:14horrifying statue . Clearly , that was an
35:18altar of worship for that being , that
35:21god , that demon , I don't know . Standing
35:24on the platform was a man who seemed to
35:27be conducting a ceremony . I mentally
35:30began to call him , I'll call him here ,
35:33the priest , because that's what it
35:36seemed he was doing . He had the air of
35:39a priest , but he wore a tunic that was
35:43slightly different from the others . And
35:47he stood before the altar talking
35:50nonstop . But it wasn't a sermon . We
35:53could not hear the words clearly , but
35:56we could tell he was performing a
35:58liturgy , uttering phrases that were
36:01being repeated and were well known to
36:04all the participants . As I said , it
36:07seemed like a kind of liturgy , a prayer
36:09, like a church service . Lucian . Next
36:12to this priest on the pedestal was the
36:15golden , curved trumpet I had seen
36:18before . All of this under the light of
36:21the torches was even more frightening ,
36:24especially the horrible stone statue .
36:27The sculpted creature really did have
36:30that human body , legs like a bird's ,
36:34open wings , claws , a small horn , in
36:37short , a terrifying expression , and
36:40none of it made sense . It was then that
36:44I noticed another detail . Near the
36:46altar was a square volume covered by a
36:50black cloth , a kind of large cube . At
36:53that moment I imagined it was a box . We
36:56continued observing it . We were
36:59whispering things , like , " Good heavens ,
37:02look at that , my God . " Socorro even
37:06said to me like this : " Shut up , girl ,
37:08look at that . " And it was all very
37:11bizarre . After a while , the priest
37:15seemed to ask a question or announce
37:17something . You couldn't hear it from
37:20that distance . Soon after , one of the
37:23women , who was sitting in one of the
37:26chairs in the middle , got up , walked to
37:29the altar , took off her tunic , and lay
37:32down on the stone . She was naked and
37:34had a perfect body , very beautiful
37:37indeed . The event organizer remained
37:40beside the platform , just observing . He
37:43wasn't wearing a tunic ; he was still in
37:45the same clothes from the morning , a
37:47dress shirt and trousers . But it was he
37:51, the organizer , who approached that
37:53object that looked like a die , a square
37:56, a cube , I don't know , that was
37:58covered with black cloth . He got close
38:02to it and quickly pulled off the black
38:04cloth . When he removed the fabric , we
38:08realized it wasn't a box , it was a cage
38:12. And what was trapped inside that cage
38:16was something none of us had ever seen
38:19in our lives . And to this day , I've
38:21never seen anything like it again .
38:23Maybe it was something normal , and we ,
38:26with the distance and the drunkenness ,
38:28couldn't understand it . To this day , I
38:31can't say what it was . It didn't look
38:34human , nor did it look like any known
38:37animal . It was a creature , kind of
38:41pinkish , reddish , very fat , hairless ,
38:44and with strange proportions . It had
38:48small arms , short , thick legs ,
38:51practically no neck , and a human face
38:55with horns on its head . The sound this
38:59creature made was worse because it was
39:02thrashing and it sounded like an
39:05impossible mix of a cat , a pig , and a
39:08child crying all at once . The creature
39:12struggled incessantly inside the cage ,
39:15as if it knew what was going to happen
39:17to it , and it agitated itself trying to
39:20escape . The organizer opened the cage ,
39:24grabbed that thing by the thighs , and
39:26raised it before everyone . Everyone
39:30applauded , and the woman who was lying
39:33on the altar remained there quietly . It
39:36was then that the priest took that
39:39creature above the woman who was lying
39:42on the altar . And he performed a
39:44sacrifice . He ended up cutting the
39:48creature , part of the creature . This
39:51creature let out a horrible scream and
39:54writhed violently in pain . We watched
39:57everything , unable to believe what we
40:00were seeing . What came out of that
40:03creature , what bled from that creature ,
40:05wasn't ordinary blood . It was a black
40:08liquid , black as petroleum , very thick ,
40:11pasty . And this blood , let's say , this
40:15substance , flowed over the body of the
40:18woman lying on the stone . While it
40:21flowed over her , she writhed and
40:24squirmed with pleasure on the altar .
40:27None of us could understand what was
40:30happening . We just memorized , recorded
40:33all these events in our minds . After
40:37the creature died , its carcass was once
40:40again placed back inside of the cage .
40:43The priest pronounced a few more words ,
40:46and then all the participants stood up
40:49at the same time . One by one , they all
40:53removed their robes and walked towards
40:55the altar . They were all wearing
40:58nothing under their robes , right ? They
41:00weren't wearing anything . And then they
41:03began to lick the black liquid that
41:05covered the floor , the altar , and the
41:08woman's body . Then they started licking
41:12each other . Then it began , a great mess
41:16among those present . Nobody belonged to
41:20anyone . Everything was allowed . Men and
41:23women participated . The woman at the
41:26altar participated , the guests
41:29participated , the priest himself
41:31participated , and we understood why
41:34there were so many condoms there . Only
41:38the organizer , the man I had helped set
41:41up that whole scheme , was standing
41:44quietly on the side , observing . I don't
41:47know how long we stood there watching
41:49that absurdity . Maybe minutes , maybe
41:52more . The truth is that we were
41:54completely horrified , but it was also
41:56impossible to look away anymore . We
41:58wanted to see the end of it . It was
42:01such an absurd situation that none of
42:04us could accept that it was really
42:06happening in front of us . We remained
42:10hidden in the darkness , far enough away
42:13not to be noticed . The hill and the
42:17vegetation helped to hide our presence .
42:20We thought about leaving . I myself
42:22thought about it more than once , but
42:25something always happened that made us
42:28keep watching . Until the ceremony
42:30seemed to be coming to an end . People
42:33remained gathered near the altar , some
42:36still around the woman who had
42:39participated in the ritual there .
42:42Others were talking amongst themselves .
42:44The priest remained near the platform .
42:47It was then that he did something that
42:50completely changed that night and
42:52everything that happened afterward . He
42:54walked to the side of the platform and
42:57picked up the curved golden trumpet
42:59that had been resting there since the
43:02beginning of the ceremony . Until that
43:05moment , I had imagined it to be a
43:08decorative object , an important
43:10religious symbol for them , which was
43:13being worshipped and would never be
43:15used in the ritual , but it wasn't used .
43:19He raised the trumpet and blew
43:21forcefully . The sound that came out of
43:24it was one of the most horrible things
43:26I have ever heard in my life . It was a
43:28deep sound , very deep , too loud . It
43:31felt like the sound went through my
43:33body instead of just entering my ear .
43:36It felt like it went through everything
43:37. I felt it in my chest , I felt it in
43:40my teeth , I felt it in my head . At that
43:44same moment , we all started to feel
43:46sick . Maria put her hand on her stomach
43:49. She was in a lot of pain . Marcia
43:52leaned on the ground . " Help ! " she
43:54complained of feeling very dizzy . I
43:57myself was feeling a strange pressure
44:00in my head and chest , as well as an
44:03instant feeling of nausea . " Calm down ,
44:06that wasn't the worst , Luciano , not by
44:08a long shot . Right after that trumpet
44:10sounded , we saw something that to this
44:13day I think was my imagination . From
44:16the middle of the woods , behind the
44:18farm , figures , beings , began to emerge .
44:22First , one appeared somewhat timidly ,
44:25then another , then another , and when I
44:27looked , five to seven figures emerged
44:30from the middle of the woods and they
44:32were walking slowly towards the people
44:35in the ritual . These creatures weren't
44:38human , but they weren't known animals
44:40either . They had human shapes . They
44:44resembled human beings , but their
44:46bodies were strange . Some were covered
44:49in hair in certain parts . None had
44:52horns , at least you couldn't see any .
44:55What was most striking were the eyes of
44:58these beings , because their eyes shone
45:01white in the dark , they didn't reflect
45:03light , they shone on their own . These
45:07creatures approached the participants
45:09as if they were expecting them . And
45:12it's true , nobody ran , nobody was
45:14afraid . On the contrary , people were
45:17happy with the arrival of these demons .
45:21The beings began to circulate among the
45:24guests , passing by people slowly ,
45:27touching them . Some caressed their arms
45:31, faces , hair . The participants also
45:34began to caress these creatures . They
45:38touched those entities in the same way ,
45:40as if they were reuniting with dear
45:42friends , you know ? As if they were
45:45little guard dogs or someone's little
45:48pet dogs . They petted their fur , their
45:51heads , things like that . The whole
45:54scene seemed completely absurd to see .
45:57Imagine describing it here , Luciano . I
45:59looked at it trying to find a rational
46:03explanation , but no , I couldn't . The
46:06worst part , Luciano , is that the sound
46:09of the trumpet that the priest had
46:11blown and had already put away , the
46:14sound continued deep , even after
46:16everything was over , the sound
46:19continued playing , echoing everywhere .
46:22Well , at that moment I realized that we
46:25had seen more than we should have , more
46:27than we could bear . I looked at the
46:30girls and said without thinking that we
46:32had to leave right then and there ,
46:34because we were going to get in trouble
46:37. That's when Maria pointed to the sky .
46:40I followed the direction of her finger
46:42to see what she was pointing to , and it
46:44was the moon . The full moon was now red
46:48, but not just reddish , really red , in
46:52a way I had never seen before , much
46:56stronger , more intense than a blood
46:59moon . At the same time , a wind began to
47:02blow . First a weak breeze , then it got
47:05stronger , but it wasn't a typhoon , or a
47:07storm , nothing like that . But it was a
47:10strong , annoying , constant wind , simply
47:13unpleasant and insistent , that wouldn't
47:16stop , as if something rotten was
47:19blowing across the world . And along
47:22with this event came a horrible smell ,
47:25a smell of decay . It didn't seem to
47:28come from the farm or the woods . It
47:30seemed to be spread throughout the
47:32entire air . The stronger the wind
47:34became , the stronger that smell got . We
47:38looked at each other ; no one needed to
47:39say anything more . The five of us got
47:42up and ran back to the field . We ran
47:45without looking back . The only thing
47:48that mattered at that moment was
47:50getting away from that demonic farm as
47:52quickly as possible , returning to our
47:54farm , lying down , sleeping , and
47:56pretending that none of this had
47:58happened . The problem is that a few
48:00minutes later we realized something was
48:03very wrong . It wasn't just the wind , it
48:06wasn't just the moon , nor the horrible
48:08smell . It seemed like everything had
48:10changed , the whole place . We ran
48:12through the same field where we had
48:15passed just a few minutes before . At
48:18least that's what we thought we were
48:21doing . But nothing seemed familiar . The
48:25terrain had changed . The portion of
48:27land that we had run across was looking
48:29quite different now . The wind continued
48:32to blow relentlessly , and the smell of
48:35decay remained . And worst of all , the
48:38feeling of unease caused by the sound
48:41of the trumpet didn't go away either .
48:44As we continued running , we started to
48:46see some buildings ahead of us . At
48:49first , I thought they were houses on
48:51some rural property , but when we got
48:54closer , I noticed something strange . It
48:57was a small village , an entire village ,
49:00with several little houses lined up ,
49:03close to each other , all dark . All
49:06silent , all seeming abandoned . I
49:11stopped for a second and looked around ,
49:13trying to understand what I was seeing .
49:16We had passed that road a short time
49:19before , and I was sure that those
49:22houses didn't exist there . Where had
49:25that small village of old , broken , and
49:28strange single-story houses come from ?
49:31The buildings seemed old , some with
49:34broken parts , others looking like they
49:36had been empty for many years . There
49:40was no light , no people , no cars or
49:43sign of life . It was a place abandoned
49:46by God to its own fate . We continued
49:49advancing towards our property , because
49:51the road was shorter through the
49:53interior . At least that's what we hoped
49:55. We were trying to get to where we
49:58were staying , but the horrible wind
50:00didn't let up , the smell only
50:02intensified , and so did the fear . Even
50:05more so after the village , we entered
50:08an area covered by tall grass . It
50:11wasn't trees , just tall vegetation ,
50:14spread over a large expanse of land . As
50:18we crossed that place , we began to hear
50:21sounds , footsteps , movements . Something
50:25was walking in the bushes near us ,
50:27following us . Sometimes it seemed to be
50:31near , sometimes far away , sniffing
50:33about , but we were unable to see it .
50:36This only increased our despair , and we
50:39cried , prayed , and called on God's name
50:42several times . The moon remained red
50:45above our heads . Socorro was already
50:49crying a lot while running . Márcia
50:51tripped at one point , and I had to help
50:54her up . She fell hard to the ground and
50:56got completely dirty . We went back
50:59there , helped her , but nobody wanted to
51:01be separated in that strange place .
51:04What had happened to our world ? We kept
51:07running . Then , we left that stretch of
51:10tall vegetation and arrived at an open
51:13area , a kind of clearing , but it was
51:15all very dark . It was there that I
51:17noticed something else . The sound of
51:19the trumpet was still present . It
51:22wasn't possible . We were far from the
51:24farm , and the priest had stopped
51:26blowing because the sound continued ; it
51:29didn't seem to come from any direction .
51:32It was as if this sound was everywhere ,
51:36everywhere . A deep , constant note ,
51:39without interruption , without pause ,
51:41and without end . At the same time , the
51:44smell of decay seemed stronger . It was
51:47at that moment that Márcia pointed to
51:49the ground . She was looking at the
51:51grass . At first , I thought it was just
51:53fear , that perhaps she had seen a snake
51:55, I really do not know . But when I bent
51:58down to look , I realized the grass in
52:00that place was different . I had never
52:03seen anything like it , neither before
52:05nor since . Each blade of grass that
52:08sprouted from the ground ended up
52:11divided in two , like a Y. It was as if
52:14all the vegetation in that place had
52:17grown bifurcated . The plants opened in
52:20a Y shape , all of them . Socorro stared
52:25at it and asked , while crying , where we
52:27had finally ended up , and if we were ,
52:30at long last , standing in hell . No one
52:33answered because none of us had an
52:35answer , but we all thought the same
52:38thing . Then Socorro said : " Yes , this
52:41place can only be hell . Is it really
52:44hell ? " At that point , our other friend ,
52:46the one whose name I didn't mention and
52:49still can't because she didn't
52:51authorize it , just cried and prayed . We
52:54started running again , but then
52:56something strange happened as well ,
52:58another thing entirely . Given the
53:01distance we had already covered , the
53:03farm where we were staying should have
53:06appeared on the horizon , but there was
53:08nothing there , no lights , no buildings ,
53:11no sign that there had ever been a farm
53:13there . It was as if it had disappeared
53:17or we had been transported to a place
53:20where that farm doesn't exist . I looked
53:23ahead , I didn't recognize anything at
53:25all . The others noticed too . We all
53:29came to the same conclusion at the same
53:31time . Somehow , we had ended up in
53:33another place , a place that shouldn't
53:36exist , a place that wasn't the same one
53:39we had walked through before . We were
53:43in another world . It was at that moment
53:46that Socorro truly despaired . She
53:49started looking around incessantly , she
53:52started crying for her mother . Then we
53:55started hearing a voice calling in the
53:57darkness . We all heard a woman's voice
54:03saying , " Hey , help ! Hey ! " At that
54:08moment , Socorro heard and smiled and
54:12said , " Guys , we're saved , are you okay ?
54:17It's my mother , my mother is calling us
54:20. Listen . " And we listened . " Hey , help !
54:24Socorro , are you there , daughter ? Come
54:27here . " We said , " Socorro , that's not
54:30your mother , it's impossible . How could
54:33she find us here ? It doesn't make sense
54:35. How old is your mother ? " Then Socorro
54:37said , " Yes , yes , yes , 75. " But it's
54:37okay . Then Socorro said : " Yeah , 75. "
54:40But it doesn't matter . She started
54:42shouting , " Mom ! " She insisted her
54:45mother was there , and the voice in the
54:49darkness kept saying , " Daughter , help
54:52me . " In the shadows , in the darkness
54:56from where that sound came , you could
54:59see the bright little eyes of those
55:02beings we saw at the farm . There were
55:05more of them . Maybe that was their
55:08world . They were calling for help . They
55:12were the ones calling . Maybe their
55:15voice was a horrible growl , but our
55:18minds were interpreting it as Socorro's
55:21mother . We tried to hold Socorro , we
55:24tried to convince her to stay with us ,
55:26but she wouldn't listen . Suddenly , she
55:29ran towards the darkness . She ran , we
55:32kept shouting her name , we called her
55:35several times , but she went into the
55:38darkness . Two seconds later , we heard
55:41her scream , a loud scream , we don't
55:44know if it was from fright , pain , or
55:47death . Well , she didn't come back . We
55:50spent a few seconds thinking about what
55:54to do , but then we saw that what was in
55:57the darkness started walking towards us
56:00. So we ran . The wind kept blowing .
56:04Everything remained the same . None of
56:07us wanted to accept what had happened ,
56:10but we also couldn't deny everything we
56:14were seeing . Then , further ahead , we
56:17saw something strange . A car stopped in
56:20the brush over there . No , the grass was
56:23low , it was all like forked grass , but
56:25there was a car parked there in the
56:28darkness with the windows closed and
56:31the lights off . We approached and could
56:34see that there were two people inside
56:37that Chevette , a couple , a man and a
56:40woman . When the man saw us , he asked
56:43his wife to wait , signaled to her , and
56:45got out of the car . He was desperate ,
56:49looking around and talking to us very
56:51nervously . He asked where he was , what
56:55place this was , because he was on the
56:58road and had turned onto a path just to
57:01stop for a while and now he couldn't
57:03find his way back . He was desperate and
57:07had been lost for several minutes . He
57:11said this , and we didn't know what to
57:13say . He said that they needed to find a
57:16way back somehow , but that at that
57:18specific moment he did not know exactly
57:20where he was located . We told him we
57:23didn't know either . And at that moment
57:27I felt something behind us . I looked
57:31over my shoulder , Luciano , and saw
57:33those creatures approaching . They were
57:37following behind us , very close , too
57:40close , not running , but they were going
57:43to catch us . So , even though they were
57:47just walking slowly , I could see their
57:49little white eyes shining in the
57:52darkness , and I got scared and said , "
57:54Let's run away from here . " The guy went
57:57back to his car , his Chevette , to take
58:00care of his wife , and we kept going
58:02uphill , running desperately , afraid of
58:05those creatures . Yes , we ran in the
58:08direction where the farm was supposed
58:09to be . Then , out of nowhere , everything
58:13changed . It simply stopped . The sound
58:17of the trumpet stopped as if someone
58:20had turned off a machine . The wind
58:23stopped immediately , the smell of decay
58:26disappeared . I looked back and saw that
58:29those creatures had vanished . The moon
58:32wasn't red anymore , everything had
58:34returned to normal . And then I realized
58:37something else . Right in front of us
58:39was the farm where we were staying . It
58:42was exactly where it should be , with
58:45the same lights , the same appearance ,
58:48as if it had never disappeared . After
58:51all , we were the ones who had
58:53disappeared from our world . We turned
58:56around and the landscape was no longer
58:58the same . That small village had
59:01vanished , the tall grass too . The place
59:05was organized , normal , quite similar to
59:07the region that we had crossed just a
59:10few hours before . The Chevette had also
59:13disappeared . We didn't see it , the
59:15couple , or the creatures , as if it had
59:19all remained in its dimension and we
59:23had returned to ours . None of us
59:26discussed anything about it . We ran
59:29into the farmhouse , made our way around
59:32the entire property , and then we all
59:34entered crying . Some started praying ,
59:38others cried , but all were trembling .
59:41We locked the doors . I didn't even see
59:43who locked what , but we kept closing
59:45windows and doors , leaning things
59:47against the doors . Then someone said , "
59:50Oh my God , poor thing . Will she find
59:53her way back ? Did they catch her ? Did
59:57the world go back to normal with her
59:59inside and she won't be able to get
1:00:02back ? " There were so many questions .
1:00:05After that , each of us started trying
1:00:07to gather our things . Some took showers
1:00:10. We calmed down , because we were all
1:00:13very dirty from grass , dirt , and sweat .
1:00:17The hot water helped to lessen the fear
1:00:19and despair a little , but it wasn't
1:00:21enough to calm anyone down . We all
1:00:24slept in the same room , threw the
1:00:26mattresses on the floor , lay down , and
1:00:28there was no conversation . None of us
1:00:31had the energy to talk , to go over what
1:00:35had happened . Our minds just wanted to
1:00:37shut down . The feeling was that we were
1:00:41drunk , exhausted , and completely out of
1:00:43it . The dizziness started to increase
1:00:46in me , and so did the tiredness . And
1:00:48then , out of nowhere , I heard a friend
1:00:51snoring , looked at another , she already
1:00:53had her eyes closed . And I , too ,
1:00:55despite the fear , the confusion , and
1:00:58everything I had been through , fell
1:01:00asleep . I was ... I woke up along with
1:01:03everyone else when the driver knocked
1:01:05on the door of the country house . I was
1:01:08still disoriented , and my head ached
1:01:11like the worst hangover ever . It took
1:01:14me a few seconds to understand where I
1:01:16was . My body ached terribly and felt
1:01:19heavy . And the memory of the previous
1:01:22night mixed with my dreams and
1:01:24nightmares . So , I didn't know if it had
1:01:26been real or if I had stayed there
1:01:29partying and drinking and then gone to
1:01:31sleep and dreamed about it all . It felt
1:01:34just as if I were waking up from a bad
1:01:36dream , while under the influence .
1:01:39During the first few minutes of the day
1:01:41, nobody said anything . At that point ,
1:01:44there were only four of us girls , and
1:01:46nobody said anything . The truth is , I
1:01:49was trying to convince myself that it
1:01:51had all been the result of the alcohol ,
1:01:53exhaustion , and the absurd situation we
1:01:56had experienced during the day . Maybe
1:01:58everything we saw at the other country
1:02:01house impacted our minds , our dreams .
1:02:04But soon everyone noticed something
1:02:06impossible to ignore , including the
1:02:08security guard himself . Socorro wasn't
1:02:11there . We searched the whole house ,
1:02:14called her name , then looked around .
1:02:16From the pool , we went to the barbecue
1:02:18and into the woods . It was daytime ,
1:02:21nobody was scared , but there was no
1:02:23sign of Socorro . She simply wasn't
1:02:26there . We asked the driver if he had
1:02:29seen Socorro . He said no . We asked if
1:02:32she hadn't left earlier , if he knew
1:02:35anything about that . He said he didn't
1:02:38know and that we also needed to know
1:02:40the answer . No , his reaction was super
1:02:44normal , as if it were common for people
1:02:47to give up on work , you know ? Anyway , I
1:02:50thought it had all happened like a
1:02:52nightmare and I felt awkward about
1:02:55bringing it up too much , saying , " Oh ,
1:02:57Socorro disappeared because she went
1:02:59looking for her voice , her mother's
1:03:02voice . " So , I didn't say anything about
1:03:04it at that first moment . But the worst
1:03:07part is they didn't speak either . Since
1:03:09we still needed to complete the other
1:03:12half of the job , we ended up getting
1:03:14back in the van and returning to the
1:03:16event venue . We didn't talk during the
1:03:19drive . The atmosphere inside the car
1:03:22was completely different from the
1:03:23previous day . We arrived at the
1:03:25property hoping to find some evidence ,
1:03:28proof that all of that had happened .
1:03:31Because When we arrived , the driver
1:03:32said , " Look , there are no more guests ,
1:03:34you're just going to clean everything
1:03:36up and then leave . " I went inside and
1:03:39found some things disassembled all over
1:03:43the place , but there was no ceremony ,
1:03:47altar , cage , nothing . There were no
1:03:51robes , none of that was there anymore .
1:03:55There was nothing to prove it . The
1:03:57torches were there , yes , the chairs ,
1:03:59yes . The platform , yes , but the main
1:04:02scary things weren't there anymore . Not
1:04:05even the statue that I had seen being
1:04:07unloaded from the truck and that my
1:04:10friends had seen from the top of the
1:04:12hill . The property did seem to have
1:04:15hosted a big party , because there were
1:04:18plastic cups scattered around , leftover
1:04:21cake , leftover food , and even some
1:04:24colorful balloons , empty bottles ,
1:04:26napkins , and the normal mess of any
1:04:29event . Nothing beyond that . No proof of
1:04:32a satanic cult . The torches were there ,
1:04:35but there weren't any candles either .
1:04:38Nowhere were there melted candles or
1:04:40any sign that they had been lit.
1:04:42Luciano , it was as if all of those
1:04:44things that we had witnessed had never
1:04:46happened . We spent the whole morning
1:04:49cleaning . The more we cleaned , the
1:04:52stranger everything became , because the
1:04:54scene seemed to tell a completely
1:04:57different story from what we had seen
1:04:59and remembered . The dirt present there
1:05:02was consistent with an end-of-year
1:05:04gathering , perhaps even an early
1:05:07Christmas party , but not with what we
1:05:09had witnessed in any way , shape , or
1:05:11form . This started to make me uneasy .
1:05:15Several times , I looked at Maria and
1:05:17realized she was keeping some secret
1:05:19she didn't want to tell me . I was also
1:05:22keeping a secret , because no one was
1:05:24saying a word about the things that we
1:05:27had all witnessed together . And I
1:05:29looked at Márcia , Márcia was also
1:05:32nervous , my other friend too . Nobody
1:05:35touched on the subject as if it were a
1:05:38taboo between us , as if we were ashamed
1:05:41. You know , like a moral hangover when
1:05:44a couple of friends hook up one night
1:05:47and the next day don't want to talk
1:05:49about it out of shame . It was like that
1:05:52. It was only at the time of lunch that
1:05:55we finally spoke with one another
1:05:57calmly and alone . We sat down together
1:06:00to eat and the silence lasted only a
1:06:02few minutes . Maria was the ... The first
1:06:05to bring up the subject , she asked if
1:06:06anyone else remembered the trumpet . My
1:06:09heart sank instantly because I
1:06:11remembered everything . And Márcia
1:06:13immediately replied that she remembered
1:06:16too . And she even said : " Wow , I thought
1:06:18that it had been a nightmare of mine . "
1:06:19Then we started talking . One person
1:06:24told about the people in tunics ,
1:06:25another about the creature in the cage ,
1:06:27another about the beings that came out
1:06:28of the woods . Everyone remembered the
1:06:32red moon , the car , the couple , the
1:06:35Y-shaped grass , and even Socorro's
1:06:38mother calling her into the darkness .
1:06:41Little by little , we realized something
1:06:44terrible . They weren't similar memories
1:06:48, they weren't different versions of
1:06:50the same story . We remembered exactly
1:06:54the same things , the same events , in
1:06:57the same sequence , with the same
1:07:00details . If that had been a dream , we
1:07:04all had experienced the exact same
1:07:06dream . If it had been a hallucination ,
1:07:10it was a shared hallucination . We
1:07:13looked at each other , not knowing what
1:07:15to say . The fear returned with force at
1:07:19that moment because for the first time
1:07:22we ... She understood that none of us
1:07:25were imagining things , and if it was
1:07:28really true , we couldn't stay in that
1:07:30place , in that infernal farm . At the
1:07:34same time , everything around us pointed
1:07:37in the opposite direction : a normal
1:07:40farm , the rest of a normal party ,
1:07:43normal employees , normal cleaning , the
1:07:46party was routine , and all of that may
1:07:49have been , or may have remained , in
1:07:52another world . We finished the rest of
1:07:54the cleaning during the afternoon , but
1:07:56the truth is that none of us
1:07:58concentrated properly . Several times I
1:08:00remembered Socorro and thought , will
1:08:02she come back ? When will she come back ?
1:08:04Isn't she still at the farm ? But that
1:08:07never happened . What has kept me
1:08:10thinking to this day , Luciano , is that
1:08:13while I was finishing tidying up the
1:08:15farm , I passed through a corridor . I
1:08:17was alone , and I noticed an open door .
1:08:20Without thinking much , I stuck my head
1:08:23inside that room . It was one of the
1:08:25rooms , and inside was that elderly lady
1:08:28that Maria had seen . She must have been
1:08:31close to 90 years old , or maybe more .
1:08:34Her hair was completely ... Her hair was
1:08:36very long , white , and all disheveled .
1:08:39Her skin was very thin , pale , white ,
1:08:41and full of veins . What caught my
1:08:44attention most , however , were her eyes .
1:08:47Her eyes were completely white , as if
1:08:49she were blind , but it seemed that she
1:08:51could see , because her head was turned
1:08:54in the direction of a television set .
1:08:57The woman was sitting in a chair near
1:08:59the bed , wearing a surgical mask , just
1:09:02as Maria had seen . But in front of her ,
1:09:05on a small table , was a plate with a
1:09:08kind of baby food . While I was watching
1:09:11, she lowered her mask , picked up the
1:09:14plate to eat . Then she could see where
1:09:16the plate was . And that's when I saw it
1:09:19. By her nose there was a dark mole , a
1:09:23mole impossible to mistake , a mole that
1:09:27looked exactly the way I had already
1:09:31seen it back in those days . I stood
1:09:36there for a few seconds , looking at
1:09:38that woman , trying to convince myself
1:09:41that it didn't mean anything . After all
1:09:43, many people have similar moles , many
1:09:46people have marks on their faces , and
1:09:49Socorro isn't that old , 90 years old .
1:09:52But I couldn't shake it off . That
1:09:54feeling . That old woman had something
1:09:57that reminded me of Socorro . It wasn't
1:10:00just the mole , it was an impression
1:10:02difficult to explain , a feeling , an
1:10:04immediate association that arose in my
1:10:07head without me being able to control
1:10:09it . The woman continued eating normally
1:10:12until she turned her face towards me .
1:10:14When she did that , I got scared and
1:10:17took my head away from the door and
1:10:19didn't say anything , I just walked away
1:10:22down the hallway . Luciano , I swear on
1:10:25everything that is most sacred in this
1:10:28universe . As I was walking away , I
1:10:31heard the old woman , the elderly woman ,
1:10:34inside the room , in a very weak voice ,
1:10:37saying : " Oh , honey , but I might have
1:10:39misunderstood . " When the service was
1:10:42finished , we were taken back to the
1:10:44farm where we had spent the night .
1:10:47After collecting our things , we
1:10:49prepared to return to São Paulo . A
1:10:52short time later , we got into the
1:10:54vehicle and began the journey back to
1:10:57São Paulo . None of us knew what to say
1:10:59. None of us knew what to explain , or
1:11:02what happened to Socorro . But we knew
1:11:05nothing about her , nor anything about
1:11:07her family . Hers . The ritual , the
1:11:10creatures , the village , it all seemed
1:11:13too fantastical for us to bring into
1:11:17our normal world of São Paulo . Days
1:11:20passed , then months , then years . Today ,
1:11:25it's been quite a while since all that
1:11:28happened on that solstice , my friends
1:11:30and I still talk from time to time , and
1:11:33the subject seems to repeat itself ,
1:11:36sometimes always in the same way .
1:11:39Everyone remembers everything the same
1:11:42way , because none of us have found
1:11:45answers to this day , only more
1:11:47questions . We never found out what
1:11:50happened to Socorro . We told the
1:11:53housekeeper on payday . Look , one of the
1:11:57girls disappeared , but we didn't say
1:11:58anything more about it to her . We never
1:12:01found out if it was real or not . We
1:12:04never found out where we were taken
1:12:07that night when we heard that trumpet .
1:12:11We never found out what those entities
1:12:14were . We never found out who all the
1:12:17people who participated in that
1:12:19ceremony were . And I keep asking myself
1:12:22the same thing after all these years .
1:12:26What demon was that ? What creature was
1:12:30sacrificed that night ? A big hug , and
1:12:34if you don't believe my story , that's
1:12:36okay . Luciano . The important thing is
1:12:39for you to read and , if you have any
1:12:42answers , give me some feedback . A kiss
1:12:46from Elisa and friends . And that was
1:12:49Elisa's account , an account about
1:12:51rituals , secret sects , elite banquets ,
1:12:54but it also involves a kind of
1:12:55supernatural element , right ? Something
1:12:58a bit beyond the surface . What did you
1:13:00think ? Comment below . Tell me if you
1:13:03want more accounts about these sects .
1:13:07Comment if you believe that secret
1:13:10sects , banquets and parties of the
1:13:13hidden elite , and rituals of worship
1:13:17exist . Tell me if you believe . Another
