Encounters With Nahuales

Hi everyone. This is Christina and this is MJ. And this is another episode of a Spooky Tels, the podcast for all Things a Spooky. Today, we have nihalist stories, but before we start the episode, shout out to our patron members. We hit forty at the time of recording. Of course, once in a while we lose like one or two, and then we never quite make it to forty and stay there. So we'll see, we'll see. I have to upload that episode we record it. I haven't done that, but yeah, we do like one episode a month, sometimes two, and then turned out stickers. I just made some really cute ones that say no mamis on a little like. I love them. I know, I love these ones. I have how many extras do I have? Four? I'm gonna send you one, one, two, three, four or five. I'm holding them right now. I don't know why anyway. Yeah, they're super cute. So yeah, if you want occasional very cute stickers and a one or two bonus episodes a month where we read Reddit stories to each other react to them. Sometimes they are about other things, other you know, legends, places, things like that, but most of the time it's just Reddit stories. Yeah, head on over to Patreon for that. And yeah, before we get to the stories that we have done, willist stories that we have for this episode. I do have a listeners story. If you have any stories you want to send into the podcast, you can email at Spooky Tales at gmail dot com. You can submit it on Discord. We have a channel less to submit your scary story. You can what else, call the phone number in the show notes. I've realized that I had been forgetting to put it in the show notes. I have this thing that I just copy and paste back and forth that's already made, and I somehow accidentally deleted it from that. So every time I added in the show notes for a new episode, the phone number wasn't there. Oh no, but it is there now, so yes, it'll be there. You can leave a voicemail there all. A voice memo attached to an email works just fine too. That's how we had the one for a last last episode the Brukas stories. So yeah, all those are options, and yeah, send them in. We love receiving them. Okay, So here's this listeners story. My dadd used to live in this house with his first wife and my stepsister when she was a baby. He's a carpenter, so he was working on the house. Every time he was in the basement, he felt like someone was watching him. Furniture would move around. One night, he woke up and saw the clothes in the closet moving, and then he saw black eyes and a shadow figure looking at him from the closet. It yeah, yeah, no, It flew out of the closet and he freaked out and threw his blanket on it, and it disappeared. Happened a few nights in a row until one night it quickly left the room and then came back like it was holding a baby. Oh, and he thought, oh, my god, as my daughter, So he ran to her room, but she was sleeping soundly. They didn't live there that long and ended up selling it after he was done working on it. There was never any paranormal activity in the audition he had built. It has constantly been on the market to this day. And years later he found an old news article about what had happened there. A pregnant woman had killed her twelve year old daughter with an axe in the basement and then killed herself and the unborn baby in the kitchen. Oh my god, Oh my god. Wow, wow, oh my this explains the figure looking like it was holding a baby. Yes, this whole thing is fucking creepy. Oh my god. I would have burned down the house once I found that information out, just like commit random arson. Even if I wasn't in that area, I would go back, find the house, light it on fire, condemn it. Yeah something. Yeah, it's also extra crepi that like it's on the market and again again and again because like nobody wants to live there. Can't blame the girls. Horrifying, all right, thank you so much for sending that in. Yeah, oh yes, I don't like it, like I like it, but I don't like it, you know. Okay, So I guess we'll just go take turns, like go back and forth. I do one, okay, so I'll start with this one. This is from a YouTube channel called and they just share paranormal experiences. People send them from most of the time Mexico in the United States, And this was submitted by a man named Victor Or Victor about named Victor, but we call him Yiyo. I don't know why is that? Like I never understood how people get the Spanish nicknames. I'm like out I have no idea where does that come from. There's nothing in that name that begins with you know, X, Y and z zeros. Like every time I talked to my dad and he's telling me about people that he knew in Salvador, he's like, oh, I Artas because he had the body of a lizard. I'm like, what the fuck he's like? And this one he was called like, I don't know, just outrageous names for some reason. I only remember that one right now, but just names that don't make any sense. Yes, it's not weird. Yeah, just like my little cousin when I was over there like five or six years ago, he was like, oh yeah at school Medicina Lacas because he's so skinny and he's like and then there's another kid who looks Asian, so they just call him Elchino or Happones. I don't even remember which one. Terrible, terrible stuff. The one that I remember is like somebody was called Batman because both their parents died. Oh that was like that I would have been. But also at the same time, it's kind of fun. I love. A while back, there was a trend on TikTok, like people were just sharing the ridiculous names that their Mexican parents called their kids. So I was like, Oh, I called my art, I named my kid. What was it? Oh my god, I think it was. I think I know what you're talking about. And I've seen one of them named Levi and they call him Levi's Geans. Yeah, they call him Jeans. That's what it was. That's why. That's why I was like, I have to think of a name that's in Spanish that like, they can't do this, they can't. Yeah. Yeah, because yeah, if you go out here saying, oh my son is Levi, my name is Gunner, my name it, or this name is, I don't know, all these weird names, they're gonna they're gonna come yeah, and that's your that's your child's name for life. Like it doesn't matter what their legal name is. Their nickname, it's the one that everybody's going to know him by. Yeah. Yeah. If anyone has some like ridiculous nick name like that, please tell me because I love hearing them too. I love when it makes zero sense, like like we were just saying, like it just yeah, so please tell them to me. Okay, back to the story that I never started. This was submitted by Victor. So, according to Victor, he gets up every day at six am. He makes it to work by seven am. On his way to work, Victor has to decide if he's going to take the long way or the short way to the bus stop. So the long path through cards Victor to walk a few miles, while the second path cuts Victor's comute by twenty minutes. But he has to walk through a graveyard. I'm going to go the long way every time. Yeah. Normally Victor takes the short path because he walks with a neighbor to the bus stop. Okay, so they're walking into so that's not that bad. But one day, Victor's neighbor had an earlier workshift than him, and so Victor had to go through the cemetery alone. He took out his cell phone to use the flashlight to help him see as he walked through, you know, the cemetery alone. That's when he spotted what looked like a man standing at the end of the cemetery. Victor quickly pointed his flashlight at the figure, but it ran away and hid between the tombs. Oh fuck that shit. Curious about what he saw, Victor walked towards where he believed the figure was standing, but found nothing. This left Victor confused, but he decided to continue on to work. On a different day, Viktortos walking to work when he came across an animal that looked like a rottweiler. The animals stood in front of him, growled angrily, and did not let Victor cross. Afraid that the dog would bite him, Victoria waited a few minutes before turning around. Surprisingly, the dog did not follow Victor as he fled. And then again a few days later, Victor's walking around nighttime when he came across A few days later, Victoro's walking around nighttime when he came across what he thought was the same dog. He once again got startled and picked up a rock so he could defend himself, but Victor realized that this wasn't a dog, it was a man wearing a hat. The encounter gave Victor chills as he watched the man moved right by him without making a sound or eye contact. It's like the man they didn't even know Victor was there. The man just continued to walk while Victor ran as far as he could. Victor's neighbor, though was not as lucky. He was found dead in a cemetery a few days later. Oh my god. Victor never found out what happened to him, but his neighbor would always tell tales about a woman he would encounter in the graveyard while he walked to the bus stop. The neighbor told Victor that he tried to approach the women several times but was never able to catch up. Now Victor avoids the cemetery and takes the long path to the bus stop. He's convinced that the man he encountered and the women his neighbor encountered were both naturalists. M No, no, no, no, no suspicious. Uh no, I don't like it, and I guess we should probably explain. And I mean we said it several times now, because we had the werewolf episode from a while back. It was like a one hundred and twelve or something like that. I don't know, I pulled that number out of my ass. It could be very wrong. It was a while ago though, and then before that, I think we have an even older one where we maybe mentioned nawals as well. We don't have a whole episode like on the whole legend and stuff, but actually, I think we talked about them a little bit, maybe in the Hit EO episode. I don't remember. I don't remember, but I feel like we've mentioned it, like, yeah, we have mentioned them a bunch of times. But what a naal or naualis are? Oh you know what? It wasn't a Cadico episode that we went into a little bit more about nahualist, But basically it's like a ruko, a sorcerer, a shaman, someone with like magical powers that can shape shift into an animal. And I think it was the Werewolf episode where we found some stories where people say, like they're actually not evil, they're like protectors of the earth, right, but you know, after like Christianity and now like people hear the name and like all those things are evil, like akin to stories of those that shall not be named and indigenous folklore like you know in a certain ranch. Yes, if you know, if you get my drift, same vibe, same vibe, I think, so yeah, that's what those are. So yeah, you have another story, Yes I do, And this one is for you guys. I have a theory and I'm gonna tell it at the end, but this is for a listeners to decide if it is or it is not. Okay, so this is all like on your opinion, okay, okay, okay. So this other this, this story is from podcast Extra and Normal, which is you know, I've been like bingeing them for the past like two weeks and it's my favorite right now. I'm obsessed And I got this story from episode eighty eight and facco On this episode has a guest co host with him, as he usually does, and he refers to this guest as el doc. Now el doc is is an empty and so he goes onto the show sitting down next to Paco, but he has his face covered with sunglasses and masks and a hat as so yeah, so he doesn't want to get fired from the hospital, but he has stories like this whole episode is like crazy stories he has had as working as an empty across in several different cities across Mexico episodes so like hospital stories. Yeah, this reminds me, send us your hospital stories aren't gone. It's it's good. And again if you're a Spanish speaker, watch because that you could watch it on YouTube or listen to it on a streaming service for a podcast, it's it's a really good episode. So in this story, and Locke says he's not sure what he encountered now while or something else. However, at the end of the day, you know, I have a theory, you know. So he was assigned to a Centro Salus in this pueblo of Usila, I think it's Usila and Centro the Salus is a community health center. And this place was so small and had little to no funding that he was the only person who worked at the center. Didn't have a nurse. He did everything. He was a doctor, the nurse, and the janitor. And he says that there was a committee that was supposed to be in charge the health center, but they neglected it. As per usual, stuff like this always happens. The doc goes on to say, one night, a woman around twenty five to thirty years old went into the community health center looking for help. She said that she went to get help because someone was seriously injured. He asked her, can you bring them here? She told him they are in the like on the mountain and this person is severely injured and can't move. He's like, okay, fine, and asks how far this trek will be. She tells him it will take roughly forty five minutes of walking to reach them, to reach this person. So he packs as much stuff as he can and they began walking, and they are going through these little paths that you wouldn't be able to find unless you knew where you were going. It was very isolated, and it's at night. They reach a black, single story house. The windows were all covered. It had a few rooms. It looked almost abandoned. He says, it was as if whoever built this found this space in the side the mountain and decided to build something there. So I'm guessing it was like like there was like this chunk cut out from the mountain and it just so happened that someone saw it and was like, oh, that's a perfect place to build a house, so they did. There were two bedrooms, one that belonged to the woman who asked him for help, in the other room that had the door slightly Ajar, and a central room that was empty, so just her room and another room had furniture, and the living room was like empty, it didn't have any furniture in the room that was slightly Ajar was the man needing medical attention. He describes him as North American a foreigner more than two meters tall. So he was very tall. What is two meters? Sorry, let me just look that up. I think it's like over six feet six ft five? Oh dan, Yeah, so he was really tall and white, bald, without a single hair, no eyelashes, no eyeom, completely hairless. He describes him as wearing and this is like linen pants, you know, like that like off white pants that are like cottoners or very breathable like that material. Yeah, like really good for hot weather. He wore a shirt that was unbuttoned and opened completely, and he was in a fetal position. The doc goes up to him and asks him, what's your name? He gets no response. Then he asks him where is your pain? He gets again no response, but he does point at something, so he continues to try to speak to him. He like tries a little in an English, but again no response. He then asked the woman for some help, and she tells him that the man is the doctor. You told me to get. The man then relaxes a little bit and the doc goes on to examine him. When he touched the man, he was cold. It was like what he did scribe touching a serpent. He was cold, hard and scaly. What weird And he checks him and he realizes that he has had a shotgun injury. So my fucking god, oh my god. Wait wait wait wait, Waite tried to kill him, and he goes on to say that the injury wasn't super serious. However, he couldn't exactly tell how bad it was as the only light they had was the candle and his phone. That was it. The man takes off the bandage that was covering the wound and the injury was surrounded by an emerald green coloration. He told the man and the woman that this is serious infection and he needs to go to the hospital. He did what he could and began cleaning the wound to the best of his abilities. What he found strange is that the wound looked putrid, but it had no odor. It didn't smell like it had puster anything. He got a gaze with the infected blood and brought it to his nose, but again he couldn't smell anything. He kept on cleaning out the wound, but it kept on coming out this weird green color. So he cleaned and cleaned and never got to the red blood. And he checked for an hour. So this man is like checking the wound to see if any red blood comes through, because he's like, I don't know, there's this this serious infection, and why is there no red blood. He doesn't understand what's going on. And he still thought it was an infection, but he had to bandage the man up. So he continues to clarify that the bullet wound wasn't so serious, but to him, that green licket and the green liquid and the green coloration of the wound made him think it was an infection. He's like, I gotta get this man stitched up and bandaged, so maybe he will go to the hospitals. That was his hope. He gave the man some antibiotics and cleaned it with some antibiotic ointment and anti fungal ointment. He cleaned his wound with some hydrogen peroxide and it activated, but without the foam. So because when hydrogen peroxide touches blood, it begins to bubble, and this didn't happen, and it was very strange. He bandished him, took his vitals and pressure and he says his blood pressure was severely low. He told the woman that this is serious. He's in shock. His blood pressure is like he should be like I don't know, like cardiac arrest or something. He tells her he could get some volunteers to come up here and bring him safely to the hospital. He was so weirded out because this man was super chill. His blood pressure was dropping, but he acted like I'm good, Like he was fine. Yeah, like he was fine. The woman told him, don't worry, he's fine, and she also told him that she works for him. He left them with the antibiotics and instructions, and he was weirded out the entire time because nothing made sense. He also said this man didn't even blink. His face was skeletal like cheeks sunken in. His brow bone acted like eyebrows like, so he had a really prominent browbone. He told them I have to go. If you need help, let me know. I can get volunteers up here. As he was leaving, he looked back and this man his pupils changed. He had cat like eyes with the slit down the middle. He blinked with the side of his eyes like a reptile. He blinked with this third eyelid and the doctor was like, what is this, Oh my god, what is this now? The doc at first thought this was Snawa, but looking back, he doesn't think this man was ever human. And this story reminds me. Yes, when you were saying he was shot and then he was like red tile like I was like, oh my god, this is the thing from the desert. Yes too, because it's it's so weird. Yeah, where did this happen? This doesn't where did this happen? Usila? Let me see where that is? I forget. I think it might be in Ohaka. Oh that's too far. If it is, yeah, but we don't know if that person travels because I forgot to mention this. But the lady makes the woman told him that he leaves for long, long periods of time and then comes. Oh so he's gone for I don't know if it's days or weeks, but he's gone for a long time and then randomly comes back. So that's yeah, you know, if it had been like in what's it called? Yeah, it's in Ohaka, but maybe it's like the same creature that is so far. No true, if it had been somewhere like I don't know, Sonora, or like yeah, see that Chiawa areas. But that's what I thought too. I was like maybe it's not the same one but but similar or like yeah, and I was just like that's so weird. Yeah, no, this is so and maybe it was it but it got shot and I was like, I gotta go home. Yeah that was yeah. I thought of that immediately. I was like what oh oh, And then I forgot to mention this for some reason. I forgot to write this down. But he said as he was leaving, this thing began speaking, and it was speaking, but like it sounded like what they said, like Harry Potter, like the parcel done yes. And then it was like he was like, I was so weird because like he had this weird speech thing. Oh you know. The other thing that I that came to mind was the the sohen the Celancio, the zone of Silence, because they say that the aliens that people see there are like very very tall, very white. True, and but again it's too far. It's too far for me too, because they're like aliens. I would hope they have better transportation than true. True, but I would be more inclined to believe it was either the thing from the desert again, if it happened in a border border city, or maybe they're everywhere. True, that would also make sense why they were. They would be like in Wahaca because like that area is very warm. Oh maybe they like they maybe they like to go different places tropical to get their sun because it's cold. They're like, I'm gonna go over there. Let take a little vacation to like Queen. But you know what, like weird shit happens in Wahaca. Lots of lots of stories, such a mystical place, for sure. So wow, that's creepy, and that's I would go there with a group of like fifteen though, no less time, no less. Now there's a book called The Ruins where some people go in a group of like seven or eight to like the Jungles of I don't remember if it was Haka or if it was further a little further down, but they're like in the junglest like indigenous land, and then like shit just goes bad. Okay, so bring a group of yeah, yeah, oh wow, that's creepy though, So I don't know, imagine like seeing that ship. This is why this is I keep saying this, but this is why I don't see anything because like Micago and then Mimuelo both in a row and then yeah, they're gonna be like, how did she die? And then no one's gonna want to like say, but they're gonna be like it wasn't pretty. Oh, we don't want to talk about it, but it was kind of gross. We're gonna be like in the afterlife, you know how they made a fun of in Cocoa. What's his name for dying choking on us? Yeah, that's gonna be me. Yeah, seriously, welcome to our little hunted break.

So thank you so much for doing that. Okay, So my other story is called the Serpent of Algante and I found it on Quenta dot com. So this goes. My Abulita told me this story when I was a little boy. It terrified me when I first heard it because my grandma is an honest and wise woman, so there was no way that this story was not true. She said that as a young girl, she used to live in Monte Morello's Nouveau Leon in a small community. She lived there with her parents in a small rancho. Near the rancho, there was a river, and her friend used to live close to the river. This friend was older than my grandmother. She was seventeen and recently married. My grandma's friend was also pregnant, but superactive and very friendly. Every morning she made tortillas to sell to everyone nearby. My grandma spent a lot of time at their house. Sometime after the baby was born, my grandma and great grandma went over there as usual for some tortillas. It was early in the morning and they knocked, but no one would open. All they could hear was the baby boy crying. They were worried, so they tried the door and it happened to be open, so they went in. They found the young mom asleep next to the baby, but it was extremely difficult to wake her up, almost like she was in a trance. My great grandma asked her, once, you know, they did wake her up. My great grandma asked her, was get what happened to you? And the young mom answered, I don't know. I just get so tired. After the baby nurses. As the days passed, the young mom looked more and more tired and sick. The baby started losing weight and crying and crying more. The husband grew worried. He decided to miss work one day to take care of them. As he woke up one morning to feed their animals, he was outside and they heard the baby start to cry. Then he heard his wife calmed the baby down and the baby stopped crying, so he continued to work outside. After some moments, he heard the sound of Najara. It was like a jar. I want to say, yeah, it is like because they technically have a glass one. I think it's clay though, you know, like the ones from That's That's that's what pops up in my mind too, me too, Yeah, That's what I'm thinking of. So he heard this fall. He ran inside to see what was happening, and when he went into the room, he was horrified. He saw a snake drinking the milk of his wife while she slept, but she looks dated. The snake's tail was in the baby's mouth. He grabbed the mate and struck the snake. He then grabbed it threw it out side, put them as stay there on, it threw some wood on it and set fire to it. Holy. After this took place, my grandma arrived. The husband told her everything and showed my grandma where he burned the snake. There she saw a pile of bones, human bones. It's believes now that this snake was a Now, while it's crazy, just imagine seeing that, I would throw up. I would throw ye save my wife. But yeah, but first, yeah, gotta wait a second, hold on. It's it's even more jarring because he was outside and he heard, like the baby started crying, and he was like, oh, she calmed the baby down, like oh she heard heard like oh yeah yeah, and then like the baby stopped crying. So he's like, oh, she's she took care of the baby. It's good. But it was actually the snake's fucking tail in the baby's mouth. That's why. Yeah, that's why the baby stopped crying. And that just makes it some it's worse for me. Yes, I like it feels so I don't know, like violating, Yes, so disturbing. Okay, So I got the second story, and it's again from podcast Extra Normald and this one's from episode ninety three. For those who want to listen. This is just so good, and he has another guest on this, another co host guest, Peppe hooks, I believe it's how you pronounce it and trigger warning. This story has abuse and human trafficking in it, so if skip to the end, it's it's a it's a rough story. So Peppa says he had a listener who always engaged in his post, and one day she reached out to him wanting to tell him a story, but she was unsure if she should. She was scared that something was going to happen to her, but Peppa assured her, like, you don't have to. If you don't want to, we could keep you anonymous. Whatever you want to do is fine. So she gets the courage and sent in her story and she titled it as a Nawa saved me from human trafficking. Oh, she used harsh a word, but to me, she's a victim and she was trafficked and now she shall not be referring to her that way. Oh. I see. Her family was poor, and she had lots of siblings, and she was one of the younger siblings and she had some brothers that were older. Her father was an alcoholic and her brothers were on the same path. Her mother worked all day, so her brothers got to do whatever they wanted. Wow. And one of her brothers started bringing in money and he told them his job was bringing girls to parties. He started getting a lot of money, and she wanted some. She asked him to She asked him for money, like, give mom some so she doesn't have to work so much. He got mad, they fought. He told them no, it's his money he's going to and how he wants ungrateful little bit and she was like, fine, but I want a job too. And she's like, I'm a girl. I have friends. I can get some of my friends to go party with you. She was extremely innocent. She didn't know. He tells her, okay, how many friends can you bring to these parties? And she tells them this many. He's like all right, and he's like, you and your friends will be picked up on this day, on this time to go to one of the parties. Her brother was a pimp. MM yeah, I think we figured that out, we and the listeners that are not listening right now at the moment that we're recording. But I was like, we figured it out anyway, Yes, so they go to this party and they start to give the girl's strengths. These people at the party started separating the girls from each other, so she began freaking out, and her and two other girls at this point were the only ones left. So they were like, let's go to the bathroom together. And at this point they had a security guard tell them he was following them, so they weren't leaving, you know, they made that clear. Oh, he was like making sure that they couldn't leave. Yeah, And they entered the bathroom and this man was just standing there. There were two stalls to her friends each got into one, and she's left waiting with the man. He tells her, if you want to escape, this is what you need to do, and he tells them, you know the exact path to get away. So just as they were about to be free, her brother catches them. He brought them back and they began to interrogate the girls. How did you know how to get out of here? Who told you? And they described the man and they checked security cameras and they didn't see anybody, like, no one that fit that description. Oh shit. After some time, they began to trafficker her own brother of course, because most of the time it is a relative. Yeah, it is a relative. Yeah. After many years of being held cap div and after moving from one location after another, roughly nine years later, she's held in a place in a ranch in Guanajuato, and this ranch was run by the person who trafficked her. All the not her brother, but like another person. Oh, all the government officials in the area, they were all part of this like mafia, So all the government officials were in on it in this little bueblo or whatever in this area, though she had a little bit more freedom. She was able to go out shopping and get groceries, et cetera, but she couldn't leave the bueblo. The man who ran it was extremely powerful and previously three other girls had tried to escape and it didn't end well for them, so she didn't even try. Her and another girl were responsible for treating the gang slash mafia members who were injured due to altercations with another group. This other girl was the nurse before she was kidnapped and trafficked. One day, she's out running errands and she runs into this man and she recognizes him. They stare at each other and she realizes it's the man from the bathroom, the one who tried to help her and her friends years ago. The man asked, hey, is so and so here and it was the name of the nurse. And she's like and he's like, she's here, right, I'm going to rescue her. And she's dumbfounded at this point, and there's really only one thing she could like say in his and she tells him, Hey, you're the man who tried to help me so many years ago. That's it. That was like the entirety of the conversation, Like she's in shock and he's just, you know, doing looking for somebody. And a few days passed and there was an incident that took place and one of the goons that worked for the trafficker was attacked. He looked like he was attacked by a wild beast. He was dying, and he was bedwritten for several days and would say the most outlandish things like it ripped his head off, Oh my god, oh my god, what it's getting crazy. After a few days he regains his wits and they asked him what happened. He says, they were circling the perimeter, making sure that there wasn't any rival groups or anything that needed to you know, they needed to watch out for. During this time, they came across an elderly man. This elderly man asked for a ride because his truck ran out of gas. I was told there was a publo here and I could and I could see if I could get help, he said. They said, yes, we will help, but because they were suspicious of everyone, they said they were going to have to handcuff him. So they helped him into the truck and placed him in the middle between both of them. They said, we will bring you to the town, but you're going to have to get your own help. And this elderly man begins asking questions about the nurse. He knew her name, and he was asked asking where her whereabouts are. At this point, the two goons try to unalive the man, and it's at this point the elderly man transforms into a nawa. He begins to attack the goons and he kills one of them and leaves the other severely injured. The one the girls are treating. The goon that survived, begins to beg for forgiveness from the nurse. He's like, I didn't mean to hurt you. Please tell him I didn't hurt you. He threatened me. So he's so severely injured. He's moved and she never heard what happened to him. But at this point in time, he's just he's moved and she never gets to know what happened to the man, if he's survived whatever, she never finds out. And one night they were awaiting their clients and they had the woman in the brothel. So they begin to hear a lot of noise and a lot of commotion, gunshots and screaming, and then the elderly man barges into their room, the same man who tried to help her in the bathroom so many years ago, and the same man she ran into when grocery shopping. Her friend, the nurse and the elderly man embrace. They hug in exchange I love you. She's confused at this point, she doesn't understand what's going on. They began hearing sirens, and she knows at this point, once the police get here, it's going to end badly because the police work for the trafficker. The elderly man has it all planned out. Though they began walking through the hills for several hours. After a while, the three of them get to an encampment and the elderly man was already prepared. They stayed there for several days and he helped many girls. He didn't just save her and the nurse. He saved all, if not most, of the girls there one at a time. He helped them find their families. Wow. She asked him one day, why are you helping us? And she finds out that this Nahwa is from Vera Cruz and the same place that the nurse friend is from. He was the nurse's father. Oh. The nurse friend had finished her studies in Vera Cruz and went to see me go to work. She ended up going to a party. That's where she's kidnapped, and that day he encountered her in the bathroom. He was looking for his daughter. However, he was too late that day. She had been moved earlier, like to another location. Yeah, and the story has a bittersweet ending. She migrated to the United States. She started a family. Her brother is in jail, but unfortunately her mother died and she never got to see her mom again. Oh my god, but I this is a very rough story. But Nahuas have a really negative rep like yes, you know, they're often considered evil. But this man who was a nawal saved all the girls from in that brothel, like and he not only saved them, he helped them find their families. And yeah, and he even though he wanted to save his daughter, he saves all of them like it not just he went back again and again again and again and again and he rescued the girls. Wow, amazing And it's such a like a like a it's a bittersweet story because like what a horrible thing she experienced, but it's I don't know, like you know, like this man, who many people because of what he is, would be viewed as evil did's one of the most greatest act of kindness ever. Yeah. Yeah, wow, I'm so glad you brought that story. I was like, I was like, oh my god, this is just getting me in the fields. But yeah, such a good story. Have you heard of this like city and somewhere in Mexico that like everyone in the city is like they all like basically all the men are traffickers. No, and they have like a festival every year where they Oh my god, I have to remember my mom was the one who the one who showed me this. Okay, Yeah, it's called the non single. Wow, and where's this? This is where is the Remember the girls are in at this point when they get rescued. Oh right, they're called the pimps are called and like they have like a festival where the boys are like going like becoming. But it's it's so strange what that is? Insane? Yeah, I was watching a thing on YouTube about it with my mom. Where it's in the state of Mexico. Oh is that near I don't even know. I don't even know what did I think it was in Taxcala? Oh it is the La Scala You're right. Why does it say over here it says there's two singles, one of one hundred and twenty five municipalities in the state of Mexico, Mexico. But then yeah, because this one is in Black Scala. Okay, but which one is the one that is that doesn't Yes, it's the one in Black Scala. Yeah, it's like a hub for all this And yes, consider to be the center of sex trafficking throughout Mexico, with roots of the practice dating back to nineteen seventy nineteen two. To the nineteen seventies. Yeah, and like everyone in this town is involved in it or something like that. And then they go back and forth from like Houston and other places taking people. It's like a whole whole system. I guess that lets this happen. Oh my god. Between twenty eleven in twenty seventeen was at least two hundred and ten human trafficking lawsuits Incala, and only nine ended up with jail sentences. Is Tlexcala near and now I'm curious. I want to see if I don't think said, well, well let me see. That's crazy. No they are, They're not that super close five hours. Oh that's crazy. Yeah, absolutely wild, discussing very extremely Anyway, do you have any speaking recommendations? This week? I got a book. Speaking of books, I'm almost done with The Haunting so close now it's so good, it's so good. So there was like this author who was doing what is it what is it called when they got signing books, like a book signing, book signing. Anyways, let's pretend that didn't happen. I'm just kidding. So he didn't have anybody at his book signing, and I was like, I have to like, buy this man's book. So it's Lay Howard and the Ghost of Simmons or Simon's Pierce Manner, Simmons Pierce Manner, and it's by Sean M. Warner, and it's supposed to be like a mystery. And this is the back of the book, and it says orphans. She goes to live with an incredibly wealthy relative she never knew she had. Struggling to fit into her new world, she can't let go of her grief. When the police tell her the investigation to her parents murder has hit a brick wall, she knows the only way she could ever know peace is to solve a mystery herself with new family and friends, which includes a ghost with multiple multiple personality issues. Lay risk the risks everything to find her new answers, Oh is it Lay or Lee? Lee or Lay? I don't know. I can't think it's I can't with English names like I was gonna say it isn't. I feel like this thing has been going viral on TikTok? Did it really not? Did it go viral because he had no one at his book signing? Yeah? Yeah, he had no one at his book signing at all, Like he was there for several hours and like nobody was walking up to him. Well, now it has at four point nine at a five rating on Amazon and one thousand, five hundred seventy ratings. Four point nine sounds pretty good to me, so I got it. I was like, oh my god, that's horrible. It has good reviews. Oh well, I'll probably check it out. Huh. Okay. I watched a movie. I realized that normally I put on a podcast while I'm doing dishes, but this day I was like, that's not enough. I need something more because I don't want to do these dishes at all. So I put on a movie and just put it like on the counter because I have like a my scenk is there, then the walls behind it, and then like the window to the backyard is there, so I put it on the window. Still, I put my phone there, and I was watching this movie called Boys from County Hell and it's on shutter and I'm just gonna say, like two things, irish and vampires, and it's a horror comedy. Yeah it was. It was good. I had a great time watching it. I love horror comedies already, so I'm like, already biased I also love vampires and Irish accents, so you I was gonna absolutely love this movie. I feel like the only Europeans and I'm like, you're all right is Irish? Well the Irish had Mexico's back, yeah, you know, and they are also colonized by England. Yes, and all the memes when all the memes when what's her name Queen Elizabeth died? Yes, Irish TikTok doesn't Irish TikTok and Irish Twitter do not play. They were So that was so funny. Listen, I have like top five favorite days on the internet because of all the memes. That was one of them that was in my top five. That memes was fantastic Day number two probably when the fucking stupid submarine shit was happening. That was probably my one of my other favorite days. Yeah, it was so funny. I was so sorry for those that I would like last when I posted memes about this. But we'll all be in hell singing together, yea together. Yeah. Yeah, we're gonna see Ronald Reagan there and I'm gonna punch him but we don't and yeah, we like Listen, just please man, I'll go back to my cell let me punch this fucker real quick. There's a group that I'm in and I posted like, let's all share these memes thread that day, and we were most of us were all laughing, having a great time. And I think there was like two comments that were like, I just can't believe that we've gotten so low in humanity that we can laugh. Uh this uh tragedy. And then someone commented underneath that they were like, these they're rich people. They don't count. They don't I'm sorry, Like the people are like, how dare you love? I'm like, first of all, why would I be happy about the people who are oppressing us not getting their dues? Like, and a lot of people are like, oh my god, but they were just I'm like, there will the system to oppress people. They're the reason why medical care is crazy expensive. There's the reason why thousands of people die, thousands or millions die a year through throughout the world. They're the reason why our entire planet is so contaminated. There's the reason why you know, like people in countries like you know that that you sweatshops. Yeah, the reasons why people die on every single corner of the planet. And you're just like sad about it. The only person I feel bad for was that nineteen year old that did not want to get on yes and did it because he wanted to make his dad happy for Father's Day. Yeah, that is it. But everyone else they are responsible for who knows how many lives ruined not you mentioned, they're like demanding this, like when when it comes to their money and their taxes, they're like governments staying away, don't touch my money. I'm not going to help anyone. Pull yourself up. But the boots drops. Fuck poor people. But the minute that they need help, oh, where's the government search for this submarine? Which did happened? And millions upon millions are spent and at the same time, nothing was spent to find refugees that you know that drop? So yeah, no, I'm gonna keep laughing. And that was yeah in my top five favorite days on the Internet. Oh yeah, I don't know how we hadn't gotten this point is that movie was very fun. I do recommend it. Yeah, And again that was Boys from County And it's like a it's a good twist on like a vampire story because it's also a little different. It's not your normal vampire I think so, it's very fun. And yeah, I started watching this other movie but then I forgot to finish it, so we'll see. Oh that actually reminds me though it's not a movie. But guess who has a new episode out my favorite show Normal Con. I haven't watched it. I'm gonna watch it today. That's hilarious. I also started watching the Oh my god, something Belotti's Roach. What is it call though? Oh? Yes, yes, yes, I saw you old Roach. Sweet about it? It's ride about it? Oh yeah, no, it was a thread. Yeah, I'm trying threads out. I don't know how I feel about it. It's kind of annoying right now. Every time I log onto threads is like brand after brand making like fucking stupid puns with like thousands upon thousands of likes, and I'm like, oh, get the brands out of here. I think I followed enough people. I'm not saying, okay, I just haven't been on it enough. I think I don't know. I hate it that part of it. And then if it's not brands making all these cheesy ass puns, then it's influencers asking these open ended questions that I'm so tired of and then I started getting a bunch of like things about God and praying, and I was like, what is this? What is happening? I don't want to see any of this. So anyway, that was on threads when I posted about the Roach show. I'm watching it. I'm like on episode two. I do like it so far. So yeah, that's another thing I recommend threads. I don't know if I recommend threads. We are on there as the Spooky Tails, and each of us are on their individually, but I don't know how I feel about it yet.
