The Vampire of Monteros, Argentina and the Lady in White of La Pampa, Argentina

Hi everyone. This is Christina and Carmen and this is another episode of as Spooky Tales, the podcast for all things a spooky, sometimes you crime, sometimes both today both all right, and we're going to Argentina today for both of our stories. So Argentina, Wow, mm hmmmm, it's been a while, I think, so that'll be fun. But before we get into both cases that we have one scary story or yeah, one hunter story, one oh my god, one part normal, one true crime. Is what I was trying to say the whole time, m I was wondering what you were saying, like I couldn't guess as wondering what the fuck you were saying? What the fuck is she saying? What am I doing here? Oh, we're good, Yes, that's what we're doing. Anyway, before we get to that, I have a listener story. And if you have a story you want to send to the podcast, you can email at Spooky Toes at gmail dot com. You can email I don't know where my brain is today, you know what, I haven't taken my meds. You can call the number in the show notes. Yeah, thank you, Carmen. You can call the number in the show notes. The Spooky hotline, leave it in a voice smail, you get us to record in your notes or whatever and email it. That's another way. When you call and of a story, it cuts off at either a minute and a half or two minutes. So keep it short. Yeah, keep either keep it short or you just know you're got to keep calling or send it in one long recording via email that's probably easier, or you can dm us that's an option too. On Instagram is the easiest place for that. And okay, I do have one update from our last story, last episode with the sister. The little Demonic sister, oh Chata emailed me. She let me know that her sister was two years old when that happened, which, honestly, I don't know if that makes it better or worse. I think that it makes it worse in the sense that maybe she was just on top of her because she's a random two year old doing random two year old things and she's not a demon. That's true. That's true. And then she says she has had not asked her sister she remembers, but if your so, she probably doesn't. But that makes you feel a little better for chat that maybe, yeah, maybe your sister was just climbing on you. Like my monster of a two year old will just climb on me and hit me in the face. He climbs all the time. Yeah, Like I'm just sitting there and then next thing you know, he's climbing on me. So yeah, So maybe the sleep paralysis and what you saw in the sleep paralysis just coincided with your sister doing that at the same time. But she really wasn't possessed, and maybe there's more to it, like more stories of shuit she did later that we don't know true. So yeah, that's true, So we don't know. It could be either way, could still be either one. Yeah, let us know. But I have a new story that was sent in and I'm not sure if they wanted to stay anonymous, so I will. I'll keep their name out of it. But this wasn't via email, So let's get into it. Hi, Spooky. I enjoy listening to your podcast as it helps me get through my workday. My story dates back to when I was a junior in high school and at the time, my house was only a few blocks away from the school, so I would occasionally walk to and from school every day, and during winter, my friend would give me a ride. One winter day, when it was time to head to school, my friend said they had gotten a flat tire and were not able to pick me up, so I had to walk. It was cold and foggy, and I remember passing by one of the nearby alleys and seeing a lady with a long black coat with the hood, and she had these long, flowy pants that looked like sweats. I assumed she was homeless as she was leaned up against the backyard fence with their head down and muttering stuff. But as I walked past the alley, she quickly looked at me and stared me down. I didn't think anything of it until I was out at lunch and I saw her again, standing in the middle of the nearby residential street on the other side of the school fence, but the cold stare directed my way. I thought maybe I just pissed her off and that she was crazy. I started to get paranoid towards the end of the school day, since my friends didn't have their car because of the tire issue, and I knew I had to walk home with the chance of running into that lady again. Once school ended, I took a different way home, where I knew there would be more traffic and people around, but for some reason, there wasn't. I don't like that, Like the street should have been busy and it wasn't. No, the fog seemed to have gotten thicker, so I called my girlfriend at the time to stay on the phone with me until I got home. Once I was down the block, the call failed and I kept hearing shuffling, but I couldn't see because of the fog. I had a feeling in my stomach like you get when you're on a roller coaster. Ough, I hate that feeling. Yeah, me too. I instantly felt sick, so I tried to hurry home and get signaled to call my girlfriend back. Once I was getting closer to home, out of nowhere, that same lady appeared and got really close to me to where I could see. She had one blind eye and the other one looked normal. Her teeth were very dark, and her face was dirty with scabs. She had a polite voice and asked if I would help her find her dog. Be the bad person and say no always and asked if I would help her find her dog, which ran off towards the river. Nearby river which was Stanislaus River. Are they in the two nine? Maybe? Is there another status? I'm sure there's Sometimes they repeat names everywhere. You know what I mean, true or true? There could be another Stanislaus Spike. They could be here, yeah, I mean yeah. And she needed him back because she was blind in one eye. I told her I wasn't able to because I had to get home, and she offered me one hundred dollars and somehow got me to say yes, even though I didn't want to. I just blurted it out, and I felt myself starting to walk with her until a lady who lived a few houses down. Her name was Rosa, came out of her house, shining in Spanish, and she kept saying brujas. The lady got startled and took off quickly and vanished in the thick fog. I snapped out of this weird trance. Rosa came up to me and was saying these prayers in Spanish. I don't speak or understand it, and she started speaking in English when she knew I didn't understand, and kept asking if I was okay and what the lady wanted. I told her what happened since the morning and what she wanted, and Rosa said she was most likely going to sacrifice me and then I should wear across and pray. I had a few nightmares after that day and was always paranoid of seeing her again, so I made sure I always had a ride and never walked again. I still think about the witch lady, and I pray I never have another run in with her again. Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I hope you enjoyed it. You know, sometimes we hear like witch legends and stories and it's like people are just being mean to the single old cat lady and the neighborhood. Yeah, but this, this, I mean a little creepy. It was suspicious because even if let's say she wasn't a witch whatever, why does she run off when the neighbors started like shouting, you know, like she was if she didn't have ill intentions, she would have ran away, Like if she truly needed help finding her dog, she'd be like, hey, I just need help finding my dog. Yeah, exactly. Honestly, if this is like, if I were to believe which stories, this is what other than where I'd be like probably yeah, if anything maybe involved in human trafficking, I don't know which we know, we know that's not how human trafficking cases a. But like it doesn't sound like she had good intentions like you said, but she was up to something yeah something, No, no, no bueno, no bueno indeed. So yeah, thank you so much for sending that in. That's scary. All right. Uh, who's really wed? I already forgot, Carmen. I'm reading the crime. You are reading the ghost story, and you are going first. Yes, thank you, thank you. All right, so yeah, let's go on to our ghost story here. So, lady, in white stories, we love them. They're everywhere, we do love them. Yes, yeah, yeah, I mean like La Yourna. Let's see one a. She's wearing a white dress. Countless places and Argentina is no exception in La Pampa, which is a province in Argentina, in central Argentina. I should say, there's la dama, the blanco, the leading white in Spanish. The dame is word, yeah, like the damon, like distress or is it damsel? Oh wait it's damsel. I think you're right, yeah, damsel because of her the dame name. That is a word. Okay, but this would be like the damsel in white. I want to say, yes, m M. I mean, I guess we have the phrase the lady in white. Let's just use it. Yeah, so yeah, the lady in white. So according to let and I will also add that a lot of these legends have a very similar story like backstory. Well, first of all, she wouldn't be wearing white if she wasn't going to be a bride, you know what I mean, that's strictly referred to brides. So I mean for not to And a lot of times we don't know her name, you know what. Her name doesn't matter because she's just a woman. Yeah, you're right, So historically, I mean it doesn't matter. I don't mean for me, it doesn't matter. I wish we knew all their names. I wish each lady and white had a name. Yes, anyway, moving past that necessary so this story is of course no exception. So according to legend and the Earth, early nineteen hundreds, there was a woman who was being forced to marry a man, and she wanted to marry the love of her life, but her family would not allow it. They never do amordo amor pribido. Yes, so the love of her life he was not in the same social class, and he this marriage if they allowed it would bring shame to the family. So no, that was a hard pass. They forbade it, and instead she would marry this other rich and respectable older man. She didn't want to. She refused, and in a moment of desperation, she dressed herself in her wedding dress and ran away. And they found her hung from unkalden, a type of tree specific to this region. So she was hanging from a tree when they found her, and it's on Route one of La Pampa. So fast forward to today. Her spirit is said to appear either on the tree when you're driving or on the road. All these stories, it's always like she's like suddenly on the road, or the very popular one where you're driving and first she's on the road, yeah, and then suddenly she's in the back of your car and then you fucking crash because you're like ah yeah, yeah, ah, you crash and die. Yes. So this is the same, similar and there's all the versions. She's either on the tree, she's on the road, or she appears in people's cars. There's the one woman. Her name is Yamile Lopez Uriarte. She had heard all these stories before, and she never believed them. She was a lawyer, she was busy. She's like, I'm too old to believe these childish stories. Even as a child, she was like, these are just legends, They're not true. And everything changed. On the twenty sixth of November twenty seventeen, she was driving to visit her father. This is a trip that she made all the time. She was on Route one and while she was driving, she saw a woman on the side of the road and she's like what She didn't think any of it, But then she was driving and she saw her again, which is like, how is this possible? First of all, like how does she make it there that fast? Yeah? Exactly. So she pulls over, rolls her window down and asks the lady like, hey, are you okay? Like maybe you're cold, I don't know whatever, And the woman then out of nowhere, turns to her and books it like sprints at top speed to her car. Oh my god. Yea. Mila rolls her window up as fast as she can and like speeds away. But she noted that the women had a rope around her neck and her eyes Batasian barbadosos, which is is that like baggy eyes. I think, so okay, I always forget. So she yeah, speeds away as fast as she can. She books it, and she thought she lost the women. She's like, oh, I'm safe, and then she passes by a tree and then she's women hanging from the tree. Oh my god, Oh my god. And when she passed by, saw her on the tree, she was reaching her hands like on the tree, screaming and reaching towards her car. That's scary. No, She's like, join me. Oh my god. Oh I hated. I hated. And when I read that, I almost threw up. I'm exaggerating. I did get scared, though, Yeah, and Jamila was terrified. Luckily she didn't crash or anything, but she did speed away. And to this day she avoids that road. She either doesn't visit her dad or there's another way she takes it. She's like, nope, you come to me now, and now hopefully you don't see that lady never driving there again. Yeah, that that creaked me out. That is scary. And like, I wonder if she took that road often, Like why then you know, why did the lady in white decided to show herself? Then you know she just wanted to you know, yeah, she just felt like today I'm scaring her. No, but really I do. I do wonder what change, Like, I wonder why why then if she had yeah, drivennus she I mean, yeah, she's in her thirties. She's like, oh, she's been driving this road for years now, Like why that night? Oh I don't know. Yeah, I wonder if she has a choice, like of like a preference. I guess I should say, of like people to care like victims. She just chooses like oh this one says she didn't believe so exactly. Yeah, I'm gonna show her. Yeah she's gonna learn, she's gonna learn to date either way. Terrible. Yeah, that was scary. That's like straight out of a movie. All Right, We're gonna take a moment to go to our haunted what do I call it hunted break? I don't remember what I call it hunted break? Yeah? Yeah, oh thanks, where we thank all our patreons?

We're back, Yes, we're back, Yes, Yes, and I'll be sharing a too true except two instead of true. I heard you a true crime case. I can't talk all right. So every night from nineteen fifty three to nineteen sixty, police and Tukuman Monteros Argentina received frantic calls from locals. They were calling claimed to see a vampire flying around town. Florencio Fernandes terrorized Montero's Argentina. He was known as the window Vampire. Florencio Roque Fernandez was born in nineteen thirty five. The year and day is not known. He was born into a very low income family and started having aggression issues as a small child, and he was diagnosed as a psychopath at an early age, and a little later in life, he was also diagnosed with schizophrenia. I thought, you know I thought it was a thing that you couldn't actually be diagnoscause you know, psychopath is not a diagnosis today, right, yeah, like you don't, but it's technically anti social personality disorder, right yeah, And you can't be diagnosed as a child, right right, That's what I was going to say, Like, I thought that was a thing you couldn't be diagnosed with until you were an adult. Yeah, that's right. So but all all the news, well nobody gets it right in the news of the media. Plus probably back then there was no different and seen how they it's a new word thing, that's yeah, Yeah, that's what I was wondering. But everything said that he was diagnosed as a psychopath and at her at an early age. And I was like, I don't know, you're like, one, not a diagnosis. Two if it was a diagnosis, not something they diagnosed so bad with, Yeah, you're right, it is. We need to stop here. I'm not gonna make that noise again. I'm not either. Adults that are diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder, as children are commonly diagnosed with the oppositional definance disorder. It's like a precursor, I guess as children. Yeah, oh, I have. I have read that. So his family couldn't afford medication for him, and his schizophrenia went unmedicated. When he was fifteen, he went to see Dracula by Todd Browning, the classic one with Bela Lugosi. Huh, that's funny. I was just watching Supernatural and they do a lot of references to like horror movies, and even Linda Blair was And I didn't know this when I was first watching this, but I asked me watching it. She played a detective in one of the episodes. I didn't know that either. Yeah, and then they had a character in the episode I just watched called Bela Lugosi. Oh that is random, Okay, interesting, it's probably a callback to this. Oh of course it's Yeah, it's like the classic vampire movie that kicked it all off. Actually we last Hello or last Valentine's Day. I shared Valentine's Day cards for our on Instagram, and I put Bela Lugosi on one of them. So, oh, I'll bring them back this year. Yeah. Yeah, I forgot what I wrote on it, like the little phrase that I made up for the card, but I know I used his image, So I'll bring this back this year because I made a couple of fun once the past two years. But my brain is not working anymore, so I can't think of any new cards, but I'll just share the same ones like one go. Like my creativity it was all used up then for that specifically, it's gone now. Yeah, I cannot think of any more Valentine's Stay cards. So experts now believe that watching that might have cemented in his brain that he was a vampire. This isn't confirmed, but it was known that Florencio had hallucinations and delusions that made him believe he was a vampire. Instead of helping him, his family felt that he was too much, too hard to handle, and they abandoned him. How sad. Yeah, he was left without a home and he was forced to beg for money and sleep in the streets to survive. He also suffered from photophobia, the fear of light. I wonder which came first if he also always had photophobia, and then maybe when he saw the Vampire movie then he was like, Oh, this is why I have photophobia. I'm a vampire. Yeah, maybe he's reasoning me. Maybe he's like, oh, I can live like a vampire. Also, in the darkness. Yeah yeah. I wonder if if he already had that when he saw the movie. Maybe thinks the ponder. Yeah yeah. So this led him to live in a cave in the outskirts of Montero's, kind of like the Grinch, and he only came out at night, Unlike the Grinch. Unlike the Grin, he only came out to steal Christmas. Yeah, and this probably enforced his delusions that he was a vampire. One night in January, while everyone else was sleeping in Montero's, Florencio, I thought you wrote Florencito, Florencio fco. Now we're not gonna give nicknames to murderers. It does say Fencito, but that was a TYPEO. Oh my god, Florencio, Florencito, the vampire window killer not not cute. So Florencio left his cave and ventured into town. Although it was January, it was very hot and everyone left their windows open. He climbed into an open window into a woman's room. She was laying in bed. He walked to her, stood next to her bed, and beat her with the bat. He then bit her neck. The next day police found her. She had suffered from head trauma and severe blood loss, and she died on her bedroom floor. And at this point Florencio was only seventeen. Wow, that's it. And one wonders like, what if what if his family hadn't abandoned him? You know, would this have so happened? If? What if healthcare was free? Also that? Yeah, and he had been able to get the medication he needed. Yeah, and maybe I don't know, just throwing this out there, but what if there was like some sort of income that his family could have received? Wild hot here, I don't know, I don't know. It doesn't seem possible, Christina, So we shouldn't even think of that truely, right, right, you're right. I'm just saying that, like maybe maybe that's how you fix crime. Hm hm, Nope, seems too wild note. Yeah. The next month, another woman was found dead in Montero's. She had also been bitten on the neck, was beaten, and had bled to death. Her trakya had been severed, and there was a bloody hammer and broomstick at the scene. It's horrible, horrifying, Griza, imagine coming across those like this is a small town in Afganina. Yeah, just imagine coming across like back to back to like crime scenes like this, Like I mean there was like panic. Yeah, I no wonder they thought it was an actual vampire. Wait did they actually think that? Uh? Probably? Newspapers started releasing headlines talking about the window vampire. That answers my question. Yeah, I wrote these notes in case people can't sell again, so it's not a surprise. But I'm like refusing to answer your questions. And so when I watch shows and movies with anyone but you, we are the worst people to watch movies and shows with. Yeah, we are, because we'll just sit there and talk through everything. Like my poor husband sometimes he just stops answering because he knows I'm not gonna like some mine too. Yeah. Yeah, they have to be patient to put up with this. So I forgive that they won't answer her questions. But we're watching movies together aplout. I love it. I love it because we're just yeah, I can't say I can talk any point. Sometimes we had to rewind. Yeah, okay, back to this. People began panicking. They started leaving holy water at their windows and garlic to stop set a vampire because they thought it was real funnly had helped and like, honestly, if this was happening and there were no leads, nothing other than like we think that this is a vampire, Yeah, I would have done the same thing, like yeah, yeah, about to start making steaks and wearing a garlic necklace. Maybe I would have closed the window that too. Yeah. Yeah, people thought they had seen this vampire flying. Oh. Actually it brings back vibes of oh, I know the werewolf that bitch Richard Ramirez. Oh I thought you were talking about the werewolf story that people thought there was a were wolf in Uh, I forgot where in Mexico? Oh and Goita? Where? Yeah? Yeah, yeah that was in Mexico in Goita. Oh okay that yaas? Yeah I think it was Chiapas. Yeah. In twenty twenty, no, no, no, I was talking about Richard Ramirez. Wasn't he the one that was like if the wind, the door was unlocked or something was unlocked, that those were the people that he murdered. Like hmm, isn't that him? I don't remember, could be though, I think it was him. I think it was him, Like he was like turget, like you know, oh, it was like all lower California. And I'm pretty sure he is the one who like if the window was unlocked or if there was a door, I don't I'm forgetting wrong because I'm never covering this bitch, like I'm never talking about him. Yeah, yeah, there's enough out there. M m. But I'm pretty sure that if there was a way in that was like not breaking something, he would go in that way. And this this guy is the same, Like if the window was open, like an opportunistic it was like, oh, I'm just gonna go in this house. Mm hmmm hmm. Yeah. So Florencio Fernandez was taking advantage of the hot nights and new people were leaving their windows open. The mountain of victims guru and police had no leads. Meanwhile, Florencio was repeating the same routine for every victim. He would stalk a victim for several nights, then would find the perfect moment to attack once the victim was asleep. Women and Montero's were afraid. Newspapers were also really stories of sexual abuse, though there was no evidence of any victims having been sexual be abused. He didn't strike every month. Sometimes it was once a month, other times it was twice a month, but there was also times he would go months without attacking. There was not much evidence left behind. I wonder if forensics were just not there. Yeah, it could have not been because this was what the nineties. Yeah, oh wait, no, it was the nineties, nineteen fifty three to nineteen sixty. There was definitely no forensics so yeah, yeah, so that must have made it harder if there was a witnesses. Yeah, and there was nothing they could do like otherwise, like other than catch him in the moment or someone surviving and identifying him. Yeah. Yeah, damn. I wonder why he would go monce without but sometimes you hear of that. Yeah, yeah, I wonder. Yeah, people in Montero's began believing that a rich, smart man was behind the crimes. They usually never are rich or smart, yeah, or if they're yeah, let's rephrase, they're usually never smart at the very least. Yeah. Yeah, they're just it's just like opportunity for suistic and luck that they haven't been caught. Yeah, they're only smart on TV shows. Whether it's just like these this uh super intelligence in real life, it's not like that three steps ahead of the handsome FBI and the show I've been watching Bones again. Still you mean still? Oh no, no, no, are you started over? Yes? Yeah, well no, okay, I started watching Criminal Minds, but then I've been listening to this uh podcast called the Bones Bones Booth where they recap episodes. So sometimes I will rewatch the episode that I'm listening to, but not all the time, so I'm not like rewatching again the whole thing. But I did rewatch one episode of Bones because I have problems. So yeah. But all this to say that many time in the shows, the like super intelligent serial killers, like ten steps ahead of the yeah, people investigating him, and this that's not real life. In real life, they are just men. At least fifteen women had been attacked and killed, and still the police had nothing. There was nothing connecting the women other than where they lived, which could be a clue itself. According to Criminal Minds, it should have been a clue. They should have been like, we're looking for someone that lives here in this neighborhood, someone nearby. He might be able to fly. I'm just kidding. We're looking for a flying man. He might have things in a case, he might be bela Lugosi. I don't know. He does resemble Dracula for women of all social classes and ages were being attacked. Neighbors formed groups with shotguns, knives, and steaks and would go searching for the vampire. Priests were brought in to bless and protect homes from the vampire, and people began buying giant crucifixes for their homes. Finally, in nineteen fifty nine, local Montero's police asked federal police for assistance in the case. Federal police mapped out the previous honestly, took them too long, Yeah, it did take them too long. The federal police mapped out the previous crime scenes and realized that they were all within a specific radius, which happened to include the cave Flordenzio lived in. Police decided to monitor the area and set up in operation to lure the vampire. Three months after his last crime, he went back out to look for his next victim. As he was about to climb into a woman's house, police that were monitoring the area caught him and chased him back to his cave, where he was arrested. He was twenty five. Damn, he was young, super young. Yeah. Yeah. Police were relieved to see that they weren't dealing with an actual vampire, just a mortal man. Yeah, though it freaked them out when Flordenzio screamed as a light shined on his face to his photophobia. I bet at that moment they were like, oh, wait, is he he might he might be bring the garlic, the cross, put the cross in his face, throwing water at him. Wait does that work up? Empires? Holy water remembers on what you're reading. Okay, sometimes and some stories it does, and other another one, Oh, you're right to it, and then they just laugh. I do remember. Yeah, Oh my god, this makes me think of Salem's Lot. Did you ever read Salem's Low? Or No? I've never watched the show or the movie. Okay, the book is so scary. There's a show and a movie and a book. Sorry. Yeah, there's a show from like the Stupid there's a show from like the nineties, and then two movies. One is newer and one is older. And I haven't seen anything about it, although I've heard like mixed reviews on all the things you can watch. But the book horri fine, I'm gonna check that book out. Yeah, yeah, there is one part where I'm gonna spoil things a little bit, but it's a big book. I love spoilers. I know. There's a priest and he is like he loses his faith a little bit. He's one of those priests that doesn't really believe in what they're doing anymore. And they're like, you really have to believe. You have to have faith if you're going to come confront these vampires or whatever. And so he's like, I can do this. And he's like confronting one vampire and they're like they just like laugh in his face and then basically kill him after. Oh my, he doesn't have faith, and it's just so creepy that he like brings out the cross and they're just like, you think that's gonna do something that also? And I wonder, I'm sorry, I'm like rambling. I wonder if do you remember Thirty Days of Night? Oh? I knew you were gonna say that, because I was just gonna say the same thing you're about to say right now. Yeah, you were when this woman is like, oh my God, please, no God, there's no God here. That that a moment scared me so much. That was so scary. It haunted me for years after that so much that I haven't watched that movie. Again, I haven't either. Sometimes I think about rewatching it and I'm like, man, this is one of the movies that really creep me out. Yeah, and I'm sure now I won't scare me as much. Yeah, but I also love the main character, Josh Harnett, the main actor. Yeah, I would rewatch it for him. So I'm like, I should rewatch it. Yeah, yeah, we should rewatch it together. Actually, let's wait. Oh yeah, there's strengthen numbers and we can watch it together. It'll be less scared. Yeah. Yeah, And you know what, I'm curious to know if we're just babies about this specific movie scared anyone else as much as it did. I'll run a pole when this episode comes out, Okay, on Instagram to let us know, because I love to find out. That's what the vibes. Yeah, I almost wonder if that moment and three Days of Night was maybe inspired by Simone's loot. Maybe it's a little related. Yeah, very creepy, same vibes be anyway, Sorry we went a little off track here, let's yeah, okay. And then as police searched the cave, they found that this was actually Floadincio's home. Florentio was sent to a psychiatrist before his trial and was diagnosed with schizophrenia and photophobia. He probably never even has h antisocial personality disorder. No, probably just those two things. Yeah, because I mean if I thought the first like signs of schizophrenia showed up like in like teenage years, but I mean there's probably different manifestations. I'm as who mean, but like if they don't know what they're dealing with and they're uncontrolled, Yeah, he could have been like showing these like aggressive behaviors that scared his family and then they abandoned him. Yeah. Florencia was also subjected to an exorcism, as locals believed he was possessed. Hmmm, that doesn't surprise me. Yeah. The fact that enforcement like agreed to do it, or like law enforcement agreed to do it is like a little silly, I guess. Yeah, it was, uh in this timeframe, the nineteen fifties or sixties. Yeah, I'm like, okay, I could see it happening, but I'm like why still Yeah. Yeah, he was declared unfit for trial by way of insanity and was taken to a mental institution. He died eight years later in nineteen sixty seven at that mental Institution of Natural Causes. There's a rumor that he never stopped believing he was a vampire and was killed while trying to buy another patient. Well that's sad, yeah, obviously, I mean horrible. He killed so many people, but it didn't need to happen, like, yeah, like maybe it could have been prevented had he received the right treatment and been instead of being shunned by his family, been supported through it, you know. Yeah, and then if they had again any financial ability to continue paying for the medication, not even continue they didn't even ever have it. Yeah, they never had it. Yeah, So yeah, just very tragic and like, yeah, it could have been prevented, lives could have been safe. Yeah, but yeah, I'm just horrifying. Yeah, yeah, I guess that's the end of our episode. All right, any spooky recommendations, No, because I have been doing nothing but listening to the Bones Booth podcast in my free time. Or yeah, I started rewatching Criminal Minds, which can be a speaker recommendation. There's some creepy episodes in there. Yeah, yeah, did you ever listen to that Criminal Minds? Rewatch podcast. Yes, I have not gotten past season one though, because I forgot about it. Oh okay, but I love it. Yeah, it's funny. I love rewatch podcasts as maybe people might have guessed I'm not. But that's another really good one. Yeah. Their song is so funny too, a white man Ala Schmidt from New Girl. Yeah, hilarious. Yeah. I also don't have a spooky recommendation because I'm so watching Supernatural. I do have an email from someone who sent in a spooky recommendation. Ooh, and that was new But I welcome it. I do. Yeah, because we because we're gonna keep you watching the same stuff, like, so send your recommendations. You're spooky recommendations. Yeah, let me see. So I'm not gonna read their story, but I do have did I open the run email? Oh okay, I have. They send an email and then send a second email. I'm going to read the second email because that's not the story. So thank you, Gracie. She said, Hi, y'all again, this is not a story but a spooky recommendation. I'm an avid reader, and I just read this book called Candelaria by Melissa Losada Oliva. I've heard of that, have you I have not. Yeah. Yeah, she's a Colombia Guatemalian writer poets. This book is based off a poem she wrote about a nana in oh In Apocalypse, sorry, that was a struggle to a lot of words. There are a lot of yeah, yeah, our letters, I guess, not words. Anytime I have to read Apocalypse, I'm going to struggle. Yeah. It's also about family and belonging and love. It's a great book, but it's spooky and Corey and then she said, I just wanted to be part of the spooky recommendations this week, and I love it. I love it. I will welcome all spooky recommendations. This sounds like a book I would love. Yeah, so it does. Add let's read it and not add it to the list because it takes so so long to get through the list. You could just read it and then we could add it on and later, you know, we should add it on to after Vampires of Orte, which is our current book club read. I have not sent out the mass email announcing it yet because we still have to record a normal book club episode. Yeah, yeah, but we're gonna do that, which we will actually do. Yeah, we will actually do it this week. Before we forget even more about what we read read it. Yeah, yeah, but I will, we'll do that. We'll do that. And yeah, our current book is Vampires Vent Northe and maybe we'll add that as the book after you know that recommendation. It sounds fascinating. I love apocalyptic stories and shows. Yeah, and shows and movies I'm just kidding, and all zombie things. There's another book I wanted to add to the It's in the list. We have a list of a Google talk with all the books that I'm like, I've been added on. But Tender is the Flesh. Oh, it's one that I want to read eventually to if anyone I listen to the Susto episode about Yeah, that's what I was gonna mention just now, like, I don't you should be listening to Susto if you're not, I know a lot of our listeners do. Yeah, Maddie, Yeah, but yeah, he aiden read it and he did a review, like a spoiler free review. I feel like that's hard. It is hard. I can't do it. I couldn't do it. Spoiling things. Yeah, we love spoiling things and talking, so yeah, we're gonna spoil things. But he did one, and so if anyone wants to like get an idea of the book, that would be an amazing thing to listen to to do that. But yeah, that is on our list. I really want to read it because I think it's posts up apocalyptic sort of too. I think it's dystopian dystopian. Thank you that I confused the too. Yeah yeah, I feel like dys is what happens after the world ending event, you know what I mean? So oh yeah, yeah that makes sense. Yeah, good point. That's why you're the one with the degree, not me exactly. I am an educated Latina and educated latinam yes, so yeah, this brings us to the end of the episode. Thank you so much for listening. Thank you. Oh also thank you to everyone first leaving reviews, but second interacting with us, like on the Spotify, like what you think of that episode? Those are always fun to look at and post unless you are mean in them. I don't post them. I just read it though, I read everything. So yeah, thank you for everyone for that. And I hope to be a little more active on Instagram one day. I always forget to post things and then I'm like, oh I should post this, and then yeah, I feel you on that one. From our other podcasts. The place I'm most active is TikTok. But sometimes I will dis ignore TikTok for days because I'm something a comment annoys me and then I don't look at it for days. And I for the spooky Tales TikTok. I post things for Estoya's Unknown and as Spooky Tales. Sometimes like right wingers will find my history stuff and just like Bombard, oh wow, so like us say, you wus say? And then I like, I need to stop taking so personal and like repine, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, that's the biggest issue. But apparently I'm like rambling. Now there's a thing called a rejection sensitivity dysphoria. Oh you definitely have that. Oh I was where was I reading about that? I forgot where I was and I was like, damn, that's Christina, Like how you crying when Mammy would give you a look. That's why I'm starting to think I don't actually don't have ANDHD, well, not everyone with the the experiences or st and I only experienced it when it comes to our mother and like certain things, not every little thing, but like reviews is a or nasty comments I will literally not open a nap for like a week because someone left. And I did do that though, when we were bombarded after posting that thing about the creepy man about the men dating teenagers, and all of the disgusting men came out of the woodwork to defend this disgusting behavior, and I ended up deleting because of a few of them commented on other things on other posts, and then I had pictures. We had pictures on there, like of like your kids and like whatever, so I deleted those because I was like I don't want them to see this at all, or like yeah, go anywhere near it. And then yeah, I was horrible. It was like a whole week long. Yeah I forgot about Yeah. Yeah, so it's rough out here for uh, for me on social media sometimes, I know, and I think ever since well, I mean I was really bad at it before also like keeping up with posts for no one, and I'm even worse now. So yeah, so sometimes I'm like, I'm gonna be more active so interact with everyone, but then I'm like, I don't I do message people back fast they messages bookis I'm sure they've noticed, but yeah, I don't know why this started, but yeah, we're supposed to be done. I don't know what happened. I don't know how we got here anyway, Thanks for listening and close your windows, bring out the cross in the holy water, Yes, yes, and say spooky.
