Now it's officially time. Okay. And if you know anything

than spooky.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Today we have a very special guest. We have Aiden
Castellanos from the podcast Sousto, Who's gonna come scare the
shit out of us hopefully?
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Good morning friend?
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Hi you so Sisos a podcast about scary stories centered
around the folklore of LATINX and Hispanic cultures. So I
hope you're already because this is asta la hoo. Drop
the beat.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
I'm in a very spooky city called New York City.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
So if you hear some spooky.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Sirens in the background, we're already setting the toad. You're
welcome there paid afters So Suso is a podcast that
has been around since twenty nineteen. We are so excited
to welcome our gate our guests.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Aiden Castillo's welcome to out the Laho.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Baby, Hi, thank you for having me. Good morning.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
For the record, Aiden is like his room is all
like green and black? What are the what are those
ears I had?
Speaker 5 (01:50):
They're like my headphones, but I have these horn attachments
on them. Oh my to show up the where.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Okay, wait, where where are you? And what time of
the day is it that your room is green? Because
we don't know what's where you are where what's going on?
Speaker 5 (02:06):
So this is the sixth layer of hell and it
is no kidding I am, I mean basically the same thing.
I'm currently based in Austin, Texas. I'm originally from the
Rio Grande Valley or the RGV, which is right on
the Texas my skill boarder, but I've been haunting Austin
for the last maybe four years now.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
That is awesome. I just got back from Austin and
it was hella hot, but no yeah, yeah, I like it.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
I'm going to Austin today, actually Austin. Yeah, We're gonna
run where like random, We're running on the Formula one track,
which is insane. I'm running a five k on it, which.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Is so sick.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Right, It's so yeah, Well, Aiden thinks for being here,
we're going to dive into things because we we love Halloween.
So what are your favorite scary movies?
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Oh my god? Okay, so I'll just say this really quick.
There's a big misconception about me from people that listen
to the show, or even like family and friends who
don't really know. People think that I don't or that
I don't scare easy. They say, you're not scared of
anything because this is what you do and this and that,
and I'm like, it's true to a point. Like I
(03:19):
can handle more horror movies, I think than the average person.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
But I'm so really mad.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
You also like, I don't like to be in an
actual haunted house.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
I like the.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
University Studios one or the Fiesta Texas the Six Flags
ones because I know those are fake, right, And with
movies it's hard like they go either direction.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
So I'm gonna give two.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
I think one of my favorite Halloween I say it's
a Halloween movie is Death Becomes Her with Meryl Streeve,
Goldie Han, Bruce Willis The Youth Potion Everlasting Life.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Cause it's very.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
Campy, it's very glamorous, but it's still like a little spooky, right.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
I need to watch that this season again me.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
It's so so good.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
And then I would say one of my other, like
top favorite scary movies y'all said one, I'm gonna give
you three.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Sorry, There's this movie that I really really love called.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Uh It's nineteen seventy four or The Possession of aut Dad.
It's a yeah, it's it's set in the seventies and
it's a possession movie, but it has a twist in
it that and I go. I go to the movies
at least once a week. I have a season past, so.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
I'm always there.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
And this movie when I saw it, literally jaw on
the floor. It was so scary but also just so
well done. So I think once you get past that
kind of obstacle of being scared and you start to see,
like I guess, like the.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Artistry and the writing.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
And all that, that movie was so good to me.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
And then the final one I'll.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
Give You is a It's a Guatemalan version by A
directed by Hiro Ustamante of and it's set in what Themala,
and it's centered around the genocide of indigenous Guatemalans. And
it's based off of like, like the real genocide. It's
like something that actually happened. And so it's such an
(05:12):
impactful story because it's told through that perspective, and so
it hits really hard, and that's why it's one of
my favorites.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I don't know aiden you said possession. I don't fuck
with possession.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Have you seen have you seen when? Have you seen
when evil lurks?
Speaker 5 (05:30):
Oh my god, Yes, that one was wi old wild.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
That one is insane.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
I could do possession movies all day. The zombie movies
are the one that get me. Because you said you're
gonna run the five K.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
I don't know about you.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
I have like an eleven minute mile. I'm not surviving that.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Really.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
Yeah, that's like I'll distract them. You all go, you
all keep going, I'll stay back here.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
I love I love to a certain extent scary movies
like I often watch them. I don't know why, because
then I'm like walking around my house and my husband
is like, go to the bathroom, Like I like, go
to the bathroom, and then my husband gets up.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
He's been doing this thing. Luciano has been doing this
sane lately where he scares the fuck out of me.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
The other day, I was a back being like clearly,
I can't hear you, and instead of saying like hey baby,
he comes out all creepy, taps me in the shoulder
and then I turn around yell.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Then the other day I was running on the trund
thatt like five in the morning, and he decides, like
to come out but not turn on any lights.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Or not say anything, and I was watching I was
watching a Netflix show about ah fuck was the name.
I forgot the name, but it was like about a
family in the house or whatever, and it's like all
very spooky, and I was like watch because sometimes spooky
things make me run faster.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
So I watched it on the peloton tread while I'm running,
and I'm like watching this thing where like things jumping
out at me. It's partially my fault too, But why
would he come out without turning on a single light
with his creepy, lengthy body like this.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Coming out the fucking room and I turn around, I scream.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
And then the last thing that I'm going to tell
you is that he comes.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Out of the of the I go to the bathroom
right at three in the morning.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I just get up.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
I have to use the bathroom instead of him like
turning on a single light to go to the bathroom.
It's three in the morning. I get out of the bathroom,
I turn off the light.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
I'm walking back and I see this huge shadow in
front of me. I'm like, I'm about to die.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
You know, this is murdering Brooklyn murder demon. A demon
is in my apartment. So I yell at the top
of my lungs and he's like it turns on. He's
like whoa, whoaoa.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
I'm like, I'm not a fall here. That's crazy.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Wait, so I've wait. My biggest takeaway from your story, Tommy, is.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I forgot where I was going anyway, but I'll figure
it out.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
No, but I gotta take away though. I gotta take away.
If y'all want to really really, you know, test your
heart rate, you know, get in that fitness test, your
fitness out run, do a scary.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Movie words, because your heart rates are up, so you're
adrenaline's pumping and you're like, I might as well run.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
That is such a good idea.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
I'm just gonna start like listening to the audiobook of
the Exorcist or something while run.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
That'll get outside.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Ya.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Wait.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
So the scariest movie that I've ever watched, and this
is this is years ago. Do you guys remember that movie?
And it was like the scariest top ranked on Netflix
is from Spain called Betica.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Oh yeah, I love that one yo. Okay, so that
was the classic.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Yeah, so I am the biggest chicken. I hate scary movies.
My husband will like mess around and like, well, he
will be on the couch, will be flipped through the
channels and he'll like, on purpose, keep like a scary
movie on until I notice it and I'm like take
it off. I'm like take it off.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
No, no, no, no no.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
I'm like, I don't. I can't do it. I can't
do it, guys. So anyways, this was years ago, and
we ate a gummy So that's when all started, and
we popped on Venonica and I couldn't do it, y'all.
I couldn't endure it. I could I think I like
I think I pieced out halfway through. I couldn't go.
I couldn't know that one.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
The reason why that one's scary to me is because
it's like realistic.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Yes, those are the scarier ones, like if there's like
I don't know, like it.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Every now and then i walk by a freaking steward
rain and I'm like, what if something comes out of it?
But it's not because I'm like scared of a clowne.
It's because I'm like.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
You don't hear like a high kami.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Oh my god, they all float down here.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
I that movie, Benonica.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
I like that movie a lot too.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
I've actually I've done an episode because it's based on,
like you said, like real events. It's based on a
real or an alleged case of possession in Spain. And
it's also I think the first time that paranormal has
been documented on a police report in Spain, and so
I did an episode on the actual case. The family
(09:54):
was the Gwiedis family, and the actual young woman that
happened to you, her name was the Stefanie. And the
movie it's similar to like the supposed real life events,
but it's creepy because there's actual there's pictures from the
house and you can see it's like torn up the
mattress that they flip over and there's like a black
(10:17):
sludge under it. They show they have the picture of
like the creepiest detail from that whole story, and I
think they put it at the end of the movie too,
is that sometime after unfortunately Sephania passed away, that there
was a picture of her hanging in the family's living room,
and there was other pictures around it, and for some
(10:39):
reason her picture the glass cracked and a fire started
on her face, but it only burned up her face
in the picture and nothing else around it was burned.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Oh my god, that's crazy, right.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Yeah, So now you should have watched that tonight, Melissa,
knowing that it's real.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Let me get the gummies ready, maybe don't.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
The last thing that I will say about watching scary
movies is that I had a stand where I was
watching a lot.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Of scary movies and then one day I was walking
my dog and where I used to it was like
right by the water, and it was like six in
the morning. It was like a nice day, the sun
was coming out, and I was just staring at the
at the water in the river, and in my head,
I was like, I wonder if they're like a dead
body's gonna come up right now, like float up. And
(11:27):
I was like actively waiting for a dead body to
like come up in the water.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
And I was like, maybe I should take a break.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
And I stop watching scary movies for a minute. I
have a really sick brain, you guys.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I feel like because I'm so fucked up, Like I
always think of like the scariest possible situations that could
happen at any possible moment, like the most like gruesome,
disgusting scary situations. Those are always happening in my brain, unfortunately.
Is the way that I'm like set up to the
point that when I was little, I used to go
to sleep and I used to think about all all
(12:00):
these scary things as I was like closing my eyes
and I used to I still sometimes have to be
like flowers, dandelions, things, so I'm not visualizing like a
fucking zombie before I'm like going to sleep.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
Getting prepared, Yes exactly.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
You know, God forbid a girl be prepared.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
You know, God, there'd be a haunting down the street.
I got, and.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
When there is, he's gonna know what to do.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Okay, run away, she survived myself from the family I want.
I don't have the solution, but I know how to avoid. Okay,
I have a couple more questions. So Aiden is actually like,
we're gonna get into some Legina's right. But then also
he's gonna hook us up because he's gonna tell us
(12:46):
two scary stories, like two party tricks, like he's gonna
hook you up. And I might say one of the
ones that I have. And I'm a terrible storyteller, but
if we have enough time, I'll do it. What are
your favorite horror characters of all time?
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Who?
Speaker 5 (13:02):
Well, I think, of course I have to say our girl, Layrna.
I tell people she's like the Beyonce of ghosts.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
You know, she's worldwide.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Everybody knows her, everybody loves her. That's everybody's go to.
Everybody has a Yodorona story. I saw her here, I
saw her there, I saw Beyonce in Vegas, I saw
la Rna and McKellen Texas. You know, she's she's like
I think the number one because it's like anytime I
bring her up at an event and like, no matter
the background, everybody has a story about her, like has
(13:34):
heard about her at the very least.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
So those we don't know her, can you say like
a little like quick blurb about lat you dona?
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
So, La Rna was a woman who entered into a
relationship with a man of quote a higher cast or
a higher class. In many tellings of the story, she's
an indigenous woman who fell in love with the Spaniard man.
And another version of the story, it wasn't really love.
It was he just took her as his companion, and
(14:06):
they had children. And one day she caught him with
a quote proper Spanish woman and she it drove her
into exactly, it drove her into a frenzy. And in
this fury and and this frenzy, she decided that was it.
She was going to end it all. And so she
(14:27):
tossed her kids into her river. And when she saw
what she did and she came to she jumped in
after them, but it was too late, and her and
her children died. And so now it said that she
cannot enter the afterlife until she finds her children. And
so that's why if you're out late by bodies of
water in the dead of night, you can hear her
crying and calling for her children.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Oh wow damn, yeah, wow, I did never knew that one,
Like I just I don't know. I never knew like
the detailed story. I obviously knew and was familiar of Vlada,
but not like that, like wow, yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
And there's so many different versions too. And she's become
this like figure for different kinds of theory, like feminist theory,
even queer theory. I've seen people use her story for,
but this sort of like and like you said when
I was telling the story, this man cheater, right, it's
always her.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
How could she do this?
Speaker 5 (15:24):
How could she harm her children? And how could she
end her life? And yes, obviously those are that's not
I wouldn't say that's the quote right answer. But also
the heat is never on the man for abusing this woman,
for betraying her, for tossing his whole family aside for
a quote proper woman, come on, hey, let's wake it up.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
We got to talk about it, thank you.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
But also I hope she, like I hope she spooked
the f out of out of him, this man. Hell
yeah right right, yo, you.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Would not get enough of me. I'll be all up
in there crying while you sleeping, while you wake, while
you're making your coffee in the morning. Exactly.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
My boyfriend, he's always like, He's always like, if I die,
if I pass on before you, I want you to
be happy. I'm like, fuck that, dude, I'm gonna haunt you.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 5 (16:20):
You better not bring another managara house?
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 5 (16:24):
I'm gonna be there fucking tapping on the windows, scratching
your feet.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Do not bring another Manatary bed O.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
Nice try, Jeffrey, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Good luck, Jeffrey.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Well this is a perfect transition. Do you believe in ghosts?
And have you? If so, maybe not? Have you ever
experienced one?
Speaker 4 (16:45):
I sure do.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
I think it would be wild for me to do
all of this and be like, no, it just ends right.
I No, I absolutely do. I think the way that
I have explained it to people is I think that
ghosts or haunting or spirits a lot of the time,
I think they're impressions of energy. You know, we as
(17:08):
human beings, as living things, we have energy, right, we
have like magnetic fields. And I'm listen, I'm not a scientist, Okay,
I'm just gonna preface that real quick. But you know,
we have energy around us and in us, and I
think when we have stayed in a place for long enough,
if we've lived enough life, or if something really traumatic
has happened, we kind of like stamp our energy onto
(17:30):
that place and in that time.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
And so that's kind of how I understand it.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
I remember when I was growing up, my grandparents raised me,
and my mom was a teen mom, and you know,
we're still very close, and she eventually moved out of
her parents at my grandparents' house, but you know, I
stayed They raised me, and so I stayed there. And
by this time, she was, you know, already an adult,
twenty something whatever she moved out.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
I was a teenager.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
I was home alone, and I was watching TV. And
in our living room there's this like half wall that
separates the living room and the hallway in my mom's house.
And I was there and I was watching TV, and
I saw something from the corner of my eye and
I look and on the other side of this half wall,
I saw my mom just looking at me, and I
(18:18):
like turned back, and then I did a double take
because I remembered I'm home alone, how was And so
I turned again and she was gone, and I get up,
and I was confused more than anything. I wasn't even
scared because it's like, that was my mom. So I
get up, I'm looking around. I'm still alone. And so
after all this time, after like doing the show and
like being really into the paranormal for a very long time,
(18:40):
that's kind of just how I've come to understand is
she lived up until that point, her entire life in
that house, and so I thought, Okay, she she stamped
her energy in this place. And so I think even then,
what people might perceive as a haunting or a ghost
may not be from someone who has passed, someone that's
still alive. But that's also why when you hear about
(19:04):
a haunting or this ghost is is stuck in this place,
it's because something traumatic happened to them. A lot of
ghost stories they start with tragedy, with death, with sudden death,
and so I think because of that, you know, those
those imprints are left behind. Now other times, I do
still believe that at the same time, there are entities,
(19:24):
there are spiritual entities and energies that maybe are not human,
that are that could actually be a lingering spirit. But
you know, it's not an exact science. All of this
is open to interpretation, but that's kind of how I
like make sense of it in my head.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Tomi, what's the scariest thing that has happened to you?
Have you ever that? What thing like that?
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Besides my husband in middle of the night.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
One time I was I was living in a townhouse
in Miami, and I was like, I don't know, I
was like thirteen or something, and I was I'm really
scared of the dark, so especially at that time.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
So when I was downstairs, I.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Would have to turn off the lights downstairs, and there
was like no switch in between. So I would have
to turn off the lights downstairs and I would sprint
up the stairs and oftentimes I would see my hair
when I would turn the corner, and that would freak
me out right. But one time I was whatever, I'd
turn off the light and then I was actually kind
(20:42):
of like jogging up the stairs instead of like sprinting
full blown sprint. I wasn't as scared. And then I
heard one of the chairs move and I had a cat.
I had a black cat.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Her name was Data. There's a story like I was
read when I was a kid.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
My mom was like super into bluhas. So I heard
this noise downstairs. I come upstairs and I'm like, oh,
I was just bed at the right And then I
go into my room and she's asleep no, and then.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
My brother's sleep.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
My mom I was the only one that was awake,
and I was like, oh my god, like that was
I don't know, like what could have moved the chair
besides my cat.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Surely that was really scary.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Wait, So my sister in law, they have a house
in Bogota, Columbia. This house is pretty old. It's pretty forget.
It's like one of those old houses that like when
you walk, it's like you could hear every noise. Okay,
And at the time, I was playing on the national team,
but in between camps, I would stay in this house
so I wouldn't have to fly back to the US,
(21:44):
and my brother was living there. At the time. My
brother was doing his master's degree and so he would
go to nights, like at night classes. I'm like, I
don't know, nineteen years old alone in this five bedroom,
big ass house that's already haunted. There's like paintings on
the wall of like children, and there's dolls like guys,
(22:05):
this place is scary. I'm telling you right now. My husband.
I took my husband there once. He's like, I never
want to go back in there again. No jo, Yeah,
like no joke. They have a closed children's playroom, and
one day I was like, do you want to go inside?
He's like, hell no, what do I want to go inside?
Not even open that door. So anyways, I was getting
ready for bad and I was alone at home and
(22:25):
I'm just like inside of my bed. And you guys, remember,
like especially when DVD players were new and like small
like laptops, you would just like watch video like movies,
maybe in your bed, like on TV playre. I literally
had the screen like this, so all I see in
front of me is my screen is the movie I'm playing.
Nothing around it, just blackness and a scream, kind of
like what we all look like at like eleven PM
(22:46):
at night, scrolling on our phones. Right, so imagine that,
And then all this sudden, a face pop up right
next to the screen.
Speaker 6 (22:55):
Going like you, yes, hello, mother, my brother, my brother.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Snuck into the house.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Knew I was already scared of that was your brother, forgivable,
So it wasn't a ghost.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
It wasn't a spirit. It was my brother who almost
became a ghost that night. I almost literally.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Him.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
Guys.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
If you guys have ever been so scared to the
point that you start crying, that was me.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
I I cried, That's insane. What was your reaction?
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Cried? I cried? And then once I like gathered myself,
I was like, what did I would you do that
to a bit? And he was like on the floor
dying laughing, and I was just like, you just wait
till I get you back. Whatever. But that's what happens
when you're the youngest sister. And that's why I don't
watch scary movies.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
That that's happened to me.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
Once I getting to that point of wanting to cry,
I I'll tell the really quickly. I've told this story before,
but it this was one of the time, one of
the times that it really solidified, like, Okay, there is there,
there's something out there. And I was at a barbecue
with my family and my parents and I we ended
up staying late because my mom was helping clean up
(24:16):
and all that afterwards, and so it was just my THEA,
my THEO, my mom and dad and myself and my
THEA started telling us about this weird stuff that's happening
because they lived in like the rancho and the month
they like they were out there kind of alone, just
surrounded by field and grass, and so they were telling.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Us about which is so scary.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
Yeah, that alone at night is scary. So they'd start
telling us about weird stuff that's happening. And my THEA
is saying how she would she could see from the kitchen.
It's that the sink was up against like the very
back of the house, and so there's a window over
the sink and she could see into their backyard, which
is just like complete darkness, all like open field, and
she could see shadows of people walking around, and that
(24:57):
my THEO would go out to investigate, like who is
on our property and there would be nobody and there
was no business, like nobody had any business being out
there because the road wasn't close by, and so he
would go and check in nothing. And so they're telling
us this and we're all sitting down and it was
like the dining room table. I was at the head
of the table, my Themi THEO were on one side,
(25:17):
my mom and dad on the other, and then on
the other end of the table, there was another chair,
but that's where the back door was. And so they're
telling us this and out of nowhere, and it's one
of those houses where you could hear everything. It was
like built on block, so like everything echoes its wooden.
If somebody's walking the other side of the house, you're
going to hear it. And then all of a sudden,
the back door it starts shaking, and the handle it's
(25:40):
like twisting like somebody is trying to like slamming it,
and it's loose like they're like slamming it back and
forth like they're trying to get inside.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
And we all just stop and look. And me, I
didn't know what to do. And you know, we just
had a barbecue.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
So there was this like big bottle of soda and
I just got the soda and I'm put it in
front of me to try and hide behind it because
I I did not know what to do. I was terrified.
And it happened like two or three more times that
same night when they were and each time my uncle
would go and throw the door open and see what
was out there, and it was nothing.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
He was like, you know, it's a dog. It's a dog.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
But either the dog wasn't there or at one point
we even heard the dog like run away crying, you know,
like when the dog gets hit, and so hell no,
yeah it was. And so then we were like, okay,
it's time to go home. And I was like, you
want me to go out there to run into the
van so that he can go home. It was one
of the scariest moments of my life.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Oh my god, oh.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
God, absolutely not.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Well, I have another scary story. It was not as scary.
I felt a presence. I went to Bota.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Just happened in Bobo because like, was that in too,
yeah right mine?
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Yeah, yeah, well yours was your stupid brother.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
I went to Thing and I stayed at the Four
Seasons in Bougie, I know, And then they put me
in this like in.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
The tower in the back.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
It was a huge room, but I, like, I say,
in a hotel room, I want the smallest room possible,
so there's like less space for entities to be floating
around or anything. So I go and like for some reason,
I couldn't fall asleep, and it was so quiet, numb
in New York, so it's so loud, and I heard
just silence it was just like silence, and I was
(27:29):
waiting for the moment where like somebody would step.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
On the wood and like creak, and I was like,
I can't do this, so I put like Animal Planet.
I was like Steve Erwin was like yelling in my ear.
The whole night. I didn't sleep anything. The next day,
I was like, I don't know, guys, And I never
say this. I literally never say this. And I was like,
I don't know, guys.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
I just feel like there was like something, like something
wasn't right in my room, you know what I mean,
Like I just feel like there was something and I
was waiting for something to happen, and that never happens
to me, like never, and I was taught. I kept
talking Andrista, like the drummer from Foo Fighters, passed away
in the hotel and I wasn't like I was in
such a huge room and I was like talking to somebody.
(28:07):
I think they lied to me because they're like, what
room are you in? And I was like, oh, like
five twenty He's like, oh that you're good. He died
in five twenty two. We were talking about it last
night and I was like that night I came back
to the hotel room and I was like, I love
your music.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Are you still listen to you all the time in
the closet in my kitchen. I'm here in peace, like
I really fuck with you. I'm so sorry you're gone.
Like I was talking to him, just don't fuck with me,
just don't.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
Fuck with me.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
But I felt someone.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
I felt better because I was like, okay, we're we're vibes,
you know, like nothing's gonna happen. Like it was just
like a positive thing. But yeah, I didn't sleep well anyway.
I want to know from you because obviously is like
a big one.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
But like lachubagawadah is lechubagawada real?
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Can I can? I did the voice of it.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
There's a voice, Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
That like.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
You all right now go on YouTube and just put
like sounds and you'll see that's so fail.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
That's like what Pokemon do.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
My brother My brothers also used to scare me. They
would like go next to the bed and like.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
Yeah, okay, that's so funny.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
I don't know the chupakava.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
It gives me like alien vibes, you know. I'm like,
I think maybe that is an extraterrestrial kind of thing
it got lost and maybe it like bread here on earth,
and so now there's more of them.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
I don't know. I personally have never seen one.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
I know that there was this like Chupacaba sensation, I
guess in Puerto Rico for a while in I think
the eighties or nineties, and it was like all over
the news, like people were swearing like they're killing our livestock.
And so I don't know it. It's I always take
it here, but it gives me like like economic panic.
(30:03):
You know, if it's attacking the livestock, that's people's livelihoods, right,
you know some people they rely on that livestock for
It's true.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
I didn't think about it that way.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
Right, And so like it's it's like an economic kind
of impact because it's like, well now this all this
product is ruined because I got to it.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
If we get into a recession, it's it's.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
That is a real recession indicator.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
There's for sure, so real, that's real.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
I felt that, Okay, so is not real?
Speaker 1 (30:37):
What about this?
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:40):
What about doin this?
Speaker 4 (30:41):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (30:42):
I think I do think the winds are real. And
I'm going to give you all my idea.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
She makes doing this, and Mariloch Orantina, but when like
she just like she makes doin this.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Okay, you need to send me a picture of that
because that sounds so cool. But I I do think
they're real. I will know if you've heard this, But
I've heard, like with many things, you know, just saying
the word d Wende is like you calling to them.
So every time I say, I make sure to say
this is not an invitation.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
Please do not hide.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Yeah, you hear that. I did not invite anybody.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
It's already it's already bad enough. I lose track of everything,
So please don't hide my stuff from me. But they
say that if you are dealing with the duende, or
you think.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
You do though. First off, so they're these.
Speaker 5 (31:24):
Like little humanoid creatures, similar to like gnomes or elves.
People will say, you know, they're these these small creatures
and they're very mischievous. So they're they're known to you know,
hide in dark corners of your home or hide in
the walls, and they will mess with you by moving
your stuff around or just taking it for themselves and
(31:46):
hiding it. And in some stories they can even be helpful.
They're they're like forest dwelling creatures. So there was that
story of these children who were on a plane over
the Amazon jungle. I think it was over the Yeah
of Columbia, and the plane went down and the pilot
and their mother unfortunately passed away. And it was a
(32:07):
group of I think four children, the oldest one being twelve,
the youngest being an infant. They spent forty nights in
the Amazon jungle and they survived, and in those forty nights,
the infant turned one years old or one year old
in that time. But after they were found and rescued,
their grandmother in an interview, she said that the forest
(32:31):
saved them, that a duende was guiding them to safety
throughout that those forty nights.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
It can also be the yeah, so they can also
be cute.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
I make my stuff like go missing for a minute.
Speaker 5 (32:43):
But people will say that that they work with the
duendez and so they'll leave them offering. So you can
leave them like little pieces of candy or shiny things,
and that if you want to, if you don't want
to work with them, if you don't want them in
your in your home, that you open the door, you
open the back door, you grab some candy and you say, hey,
like here I have this for you, go get it,
(33:04):
and you leave it open for a little bit as
they go out, and then you close the door and
that should get rid of them.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
But some people do like have like it on their
keys or whatever. Yeah, like they'll have like a little
like offerings to them to say like whenever I need you,
you know, you know, I've got your back, so you're
gonna have mine.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
What if I have a like a little doing the
like thing, is that bad?
Speaker 4 (33:25):
I don't think so.
Speaker 5 (33:26):
I mean it could be seen as like admiration, right, yeah,
like you're like this is my symbol that like I'm
I'm on your side, You're my friend. We fim Yeah,
my little homies.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Am Okay, what about blue house?
Speaker 4 (33:47):
You're looking at one?
Speaker 5 (33:48):
What are you talking about? I think I mean bluhas
are people, right, you know?
Speaker 4 (33:56):
I think many.
Speaker 5 (33:57):
I think a lot of people are like born into
Bluhidia depending on their family, like who their family is.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
What they do.
Speaker 5 (34:03):
I think people can also discover buhidia much like me,
Like later in my life I discovered bou Hidia and
I practice a little bit here and there.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
I wouldn't say like I am a bua. I am
a boujo.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
You can come to me and I'm going to do
things for you.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
No, it's for me.
Speaker 5 (34:16):
It's it's way more my personal journey with it is
way more about like introspection and like building my own life.
So like I wouldn't provide services, but some of my
closest friends they do provide services. I have a friend service, yeah,
you know, like cleansings or readings or like working to
like to you know, bring favor into your life or
(34:38):
to protect you. But like one of my friends, one
of my best friends since like high school, she's shout
out Alejandra. She did an episode with me all about demons,
and she's like she's been all over the world and
she has trained with a shaman. I remember one time
she was like, hey, guys, I'm not going to be
responding to text messages because I'm going to be in
the Amazon jungle for like thirty days.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Next way.
Speaker 5 (35:01):
I was like, okay, good luck, like Texas when you
get back.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Right try.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
Literally literally does have a mom.
Speaker 5 (35:18):
And like it's a lot of work, you know, it's
a lot of work and there. But there's also stories
of the Bruchas who can transform into like balls of
fire and they travel that way or the litusa right.
People say that they can transform into owls and they're
they're known to be more mischievous or quote evil. But
(35:40):
I don't know with with those sorts of things, I
don't think. I'll say the majority of the time, I
don't think any one thing is just inherently evil.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
I think it comes down to individual.
Speaker 5 (35:50):
Practice and so you know, like with which is too yeah, yeah, yeah,
like with which is too, I think it's yeah, And
it comes down to the individual I have.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
I have I have a question which is actually based
off a true story. I'm not gonna drop names, but
I know of someone who their X the X was
a woman, he's a he's a man. The X like
they did. They did not leave on good terms. There
was no cheating involved, but they just didn't break up
good and she was like super into all of this,
(36:22):
also from Columbia, and she like put I guess like
this spell like there's three things on him, and one
of those things was his next like hookup. He couldn't
get it up And it was true.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
Yeah yeah, but that's probably because she knew, let's be
so looking for real. I knew he had a problem,
probably and he's lying.
Speaker 5 (36:49):
Yeah he could, Yeah he could be saving.
Speaker 4 (37:00):
That could be true.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
This person listens to this.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
I want to get your scary stories. So let's just
make pretend like we're sitting around a fire pit right now,
we're in the forest, we're camping. Let's tell us, tell
us a scary story.
Speaker 4 (37:24):
Okaysure, what wait?
Speaker 1 (37:25):
These are easy ones to remember that people can like
use on their friends.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
YEA, yeah, for sure, for sure.
Speaker 5 (37:30):
So this is like a classic legend that I grew
up hearing. And a lot of people will say that
it happened in their town or in their neck of
the woods, right, But I heard of this story happening
in the Rio Grande Valley where I'm from, which is
a collection of smaller cities, And so this allegedly happened
in McAllen, Texas a club called Bogachio two thousand in
(37:54):
I think in nineteen seventy nine. But there was this
young woman who was very pious, She's very obedient to
her parents, really strict religious upbringing, kind of sheltered, and
she decided one night, you know what, I want to
have fun. I want to go to the dance with
my friends. And so she depending on who's sewing the story,
(38:15):
she either snuck out or she lied about where.
Speaker 4 (38:17):
She was going.
Speaker 5 (38:18):
But she made the decision, I'm gonna go have fun tonight.
I want to go dance. So she made it out
of the house. She went with her friends. They go
to this dance hall. She's having a great time, and
she's approached by this man. And you know, there's speculation
about what he looked like, but generally tall, dark and handsome. Right,
he's probably wearing like boots, the wranglers, the stets in
(38:41):
like real vucchetto kind of type. And so he asks
her to dance, and she says okay, and it's like
it's just them too on the dance floor, basically, like
they exist in a bubble. There's nobody else with them.
They're having a beautiful time, and she suddenly snaps out
of it because she hears people screaming, and so she
(39:01):
looks around and she sees that the people that are
screaming they're pointing, and she looks and they're pointing down
at their feet, and she's confused, and so she looks
and they're still moving around, they're still spinning on the
dance floor and she looks down and she sees that
this handsome man, her dance partner. He's feet one of
them is a chickens talon and the other one is
(39:21):
a goats hoof, and she realizes that she's dancing with
the Devil.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
She's trying to break.
Speaker 5 (39:26):
Away, but he's holding her tight and they're still spinning.
And different versions of the story say that he danced
her to death. Another version says that he suddenly just
like exploded into a black plume of smoke and that
he vanished, and that she was left on the dance floor,
passed out with burn marks on her body in the
shape of handprints where he was holding her, and you
(39:49):
could just smell sulfur in the entire dance hall and
nobody ever saw him again.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (39:55):
Oh, and that was the night that a girl danced
with the Devil.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
Yeah, don't let that happens in Miami A lot, I.
Speaker 4 (40:02):
Know, I was going to say. I was like, listen,
I've had.
Speaker 5 (40:08):
I haven't countered many demon twinks out there.
Speaker 4 (40:11):
I used to be one.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
So that's like a many rated scary story. Scary, but
it's still very spooky. I'm a scary one. It's very
a little gruesome though. I don't know who want to
talk about it. Let's yeah, it was in Spanish, but
I don't know, I'm going to say it in English.
(40:33):
So this person's in their apartment, right, there's a person
in their apartment and they're getting ready to go to sleep,
like it's late at night, and they have the radio on,
and in the radio they're like, oh, well, somebody has
escaped in Manicomeo. How do you say that in the
psych word? So right, I think, yeah, a psych word,
(40:57):
somebody's escaped the psyche word. So it it's within the neighborhood.
So make sure that you like lock your doors, insane asylum,
insane asylum, so make sure that you lock your doors. Whatever.
Speaker 3 (41:08):
So this person goes, they lock their doors, they like
close the blinds, they lock their windows, they lock everything,
and then they go to sleep. And before they go
to sleep, they have a dog. So they put their
hand down every night and the dog licks their hands.
So the person puts the hand down underneath the bed,
the dog licks the hand.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
They go to sleep. Then in the.
Speaker 3 (41:30):
Middle of the night, they hear a noise coming from
the bathroom. So when they go into the bathroom, they
turn on the light and they see, they hear they
see something behind the current. So they open up the
curtain and they see the dog that's like dead hanging there,
and then written with the dog's blood in the mirror,
it says crazy people can lick too.
Speaker 4 (41:50):
No, I hate that. I hey, I hated that. Disgusting. Uh,
oh my god. Listen.
Speaker 5 (42:00):
I always say people are scarier than the ghosts. People
are so much scarier.
Speaker 1 (42:06):
Yo, that's a scary story for real, for real.
Speaker 5 (42:08):
Yeah, oh my god, oh my god.
Speaker 1 (42:12):
Yeah, I feel like it's scarier in Spanish.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
But nobody else. I mean, that was good. That was good.
That was good.
Speaker 4 (42:19):
Yeah, yeah, that was good. I was in a band
because it was good.
Speaker 1 (42:27):
Do you have another one that you want to say?
Or mainly do you have one?
Speaker 3 (42:30):
No?
Speaker 2 (42:31):
I just maybe on a lighter note, do you guys
know what like like a serial killer, what their favorite
weapon is?
Speaker 3 (42:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (42:46):
That is Oh my god, you know what.
Speaker 1 (42:49):
As you can't see, I.
Speaker 5 (42:50):
Don't me me their hands, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (42:59):
I know her. That's why I knew it was.
Speaker 2 (43:01):
Oh, Aiden's like thinking about all these like crazy like
instruments like weapons, I know right, he's looking at me
like a spoon bitch.
Speaker 5 (43:13):
Oh my god, that's so good.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
All right, shall we move?
Speaker 1 (43:18):
Do you have another story?
Speaker 4 (43:19):
I do have one more really quick.
Speaker 5 (43:20):
This is another one kind of like it's kind of
like on that same vein of like those urban legends.
You may have heard it, but it's a story of
this woman who she traveled with a friend and they
went out partying and she was she met this guy
and like he really wanted to take her home.
Speaker 4 (43:37):
They were really feeling each other.
Speaker 5 (43:39):
They were making out in the dance floor, and like
he got her all the way into his car and
like they were making out there and he was like, no,
let's go. Let's go and try to go with her,
and she was like, no, I can't. And her friend
even came out and like went to the car and said, no,
you're not going, like we were not from here. We
said we weren't going to separate. We need to leave.
So she her friend took her. They go back home,
(44:00):
and maybe like a week or so later, she starts
breaking out in this rash around her mouth and she
goes to the doctor and she's like I don't know,
like what's happening, and he was like, do you have allergies?
Speaker 4 (44:10):
Have you eaten anything?
Speaker 5 (44:12):
And were you traveling recently? And she said, actually, yeah,
I was on vacation. Close I was on vacation. And
she's like, what's that. Actually, I'm worried because I was
making out with this guy and he's the only person
on the vacation that I did anything with, but we
didn't like it was just kissing. And he was like, well,
we're going to run some tests just to you know,
see what it might be. So they do swaves and
(44:33):
all that, take samples.
Speaker 4 (44:34):
They go.
Speaker 5 (44:35):
A couple days later, she gets to call from the
doctor's office and he says him, is so and so
we need you to come to the doctor's office now please.
Speaker 1 (44:43):
I'm going to cry.
Speaker 5 (44:43):
She goes back and she's freaking out. She thinks like
what is this? And she goes and the.
Speaker 4 (44:49):
Doctor puts her. They put her in a room.
Speaker 5 (44:50):
The doctor walks in and he has two police officers
with him and they're like, can you tell us more
about this man that you were telling about? And she
was like, like tried to describe him, but didn't have
any real information on him. She's like, Okay, what is happening.
Why are you all asking me about him? Why are
there police hearing the doctor?
Speaker 4 (45:09):
What's going on?
Speaker 5 (45:10):
And they go, well, we took the samples and it's
a bacteria that people get when they eat human flesh. Nope,
So her friend essentially like saved her life that night.
Speaker 2 (45:23):
Jesus, that's what you get for being.
Speaker 5 (45:24):
Associate that you make up. Let us live, you know,
be careful you make out with and when you're traveling.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
Oh serious, my.
Speaker 1 (45:38):
God, if I needed something else to worry about as
a woman, they get married, so I won't be you know,
with anybody.
Speaker 2 (45:48):
Those days are long gone. Okay, Aiden, Please tell us, like,
how did you get started your passion for all of this,
this spooky life and paranormal you know, this is this
is quite interesting.
Speaker 5 (45:59):
It started really young for me when I always I
have this book that I always reference. But when I
was in elementary, they used to read this book to
us in class. It was called Stories that Must Not
Die and it was full of like folklore and fables
and there was actually the story of Laona in there,
and the girl who Danced with the Devil. And again,
mind you, they're reading this to like third graders and
(46:24):
it seems weird to think about that, but the stories
were side by side in the book in English and Spanish,
and then at the end of the stories there was
a set of questions. So they were basically teaching us
reading comprehension through folklore and through horror.
Speaker 4 (46:38):
Stories many times.
Speaker 5 (46:40):
And so these kinds of stories have been part of
my life since as long as I can remember, because
if it wasn't that, it was at like a family
barbecue or get together with friends, the conversation always ended
up there. The sun would set and people would say,
you know, so insult the attention. I saw the Devil
on the Ranch last night, and it's like, Okay, we're
going there and we're telling these stories. So they've just
(47:02):
always been part of my upbringing. And then when I
started listening to podcasts, I really wanted to hear a
show about these stories, and I had a very clear
vision of what I wanted it to sound like. I
couldn't find something that exactly fit that, and so I'm
a virgal rising and I said, you know what, I'm
going to do it myself.
Speaker 4 (47:17):
So here I am. I.
Speaker 1 (47:19):
Now, you've been creating podcast episodes since twenty nineteen. You
have a lot that you've covered since then.
Speaker 5 (47:26):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's been a really really cool journey.
I've expanded from just that region of the world, so
Northern Mexico, South Texas, and in doing the show, I've
made connections to other cultures within the Latin American diaspora
that I had never really thought about before. But there's
so many similarities and sometimes there's like things that I've
never heard about, and it's just really really interesting to
(47:47):
hear about and to share those stories.
Speaker 2 (47:50):
Wow, that is amazing. For our listeners, where can they
hear your podcast and listen to your.
Speaker 1 (47:55):
Stories or find you in general?
Speaker 5 (47:57):
Yeah yeah, So Susto is on podcast platform that's s
u s t Oh. You can find me on social
media at at soustal podcast on every platform, and on
my website at sustal podcast dot com.

Speaker 3 (48:12):
By the way, Thank you well, thanks for hanging out
with us.
Speaker 1 (48:16):
I give wait to go back and listen to more
of your episodes. I listened to one this morning and
I was like, Oh, it's really getting me in the mood.
A little spooky season.
Speaker 2 (48:26):
That's just not with one of those killers at the club.
Speaker 1 (48:29):
Yeah no, no, no, no, at least I'll know what to
look out for.
Speaker 3 (48:33):
You've got to always be prepared, exactly, exactly.
Speaker 1 (48:37):
Thanks for joining us, Aiden than all right, guys, Well
that was a little spooky, if you will. I'm obsessed
with Aden. He wants to come hang out with me.
Speaker 2 (48:55):
He is so fun. Honestly, as we were preparing for
the show, I was like, Oh my god, am I
gonna get nightmares tonight? Because that's how I am. I'm
a little scaredy cat.
Speaker 1 (49:02):
Better me too. Honestly, my story was the worst, so
I think I.
Speaker 2 (49:07):
Agree, and my joke. My joke was the worst too.
Speaker 1 (49:10):
Actually I don't know. The flush eating one was a
little rough.
Speaker 3 (49:13):
But anyway, we're here for I am a famosa and
as you know, we got you covered.
Speaker 1 (49:18):
In the world of music, m deporte with my girl Melly.
I was thinking about a spooky soundtrack kind of situation
and I made like spooky broken Espanol playlist, which you
can find on my Spotify, not my artist spotify, my
personal spotify.
Speaker 6 (49:39):
Okay, okay, recording artist, but one of the bands that
actually is a part of the soundtrack for Venonia, the
movie that you mentioned.
Speaker 1 (49:49):
That's so good. If you haven't seen it, go watch it.
Speaker 2 (49:52):
It's called maybe not either got me before you watch it, but.
Speaker 1 (49:55):
Yeah, don't do that. It's called as Silencio. So if
you want to like and the vibe is so good,
we'll link the links to the playlist on this episode
so that you guys can listen to it. But that's
like the my spooky rock En Espanol playlist that I've
been working on for some time. It's been a personal project. Actually,
(50:18):
I don't even know if it's public, but I'm going
to make it public for you guys, and then I'll
send it to you. At least you can get spooked
out in the street.
Speaker 2 (50:24):
Thank you. Maybe my I'll be for my cardio day
was like.
Speaker 3 (50:28):
And also if you want to get really scared, I
know that Aiden was like, Yeah, it's not my favorite
because it's so scary.
Speaker 1 (50:34):
It's called when Evil Lurks. You guys, we need to
watch that. It won like a lot of awards. It's
an Argentinian film, and you know, foreign spooky films are
the scariest they are.
Speaker 2 (50:43):
I think Ronica might have been my last one. Either
that or like Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which I can't do.
I can't do it.
Speaker 1 (50:50):
Yeah, but the ring was so bad for me.
Speaker 4 (50:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (50:52):
I watched A sixth Sense when I was like seven
years old. I was like mommy, Bobby, like what the fuck?
Speaker 3 (50:57):
Like I know, in Argentina, like kids watch whatever, like
there's really porn a ten pm and the public TV.
Speaker 1 (51:04):
But like that was a little bit of a lot.
Speaker 2 (51:07):
You could have just put porn on the television.
Speaker 1 (51:10):
That's bored, Thank you so much.
Speaker 4 (51:15):
I am sad.
Speaker 2 (51:16):
That is actually funny. I'm also excited though, for hocus Pocus,
like that's gonna.
Speaker 4 (51:22):
Be on a replay.
Speaker 1 (51:22):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (51:24):
I don't think I name drop hocus Pocus this entire episode,
which I am so sorry because that's my favorite, my favorite. Also,
they have a really good soundtrack and I'm trying to
remember it's been a while.
Speaker 1 (51:34):
Wait, something else that I want to highlight. There's like
post punk reggaeton music, so it's like reggaeton music that's
like a boy is a no Boy, but it's like rock.
It's like alternative rock music. I'll send you that one.
Like that one's also like a hit and it's like
spooky season vibes, but also like you know the words,
so it hits.
Speaker 2 (51:54):
Dope, all right? Cool?
Speaker 1 (51:57):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (51:57):
In the world of sports, I do want to give
my flowers to someone super special who just retired from soccer,
women's soccer specifically, and that is former US women's national
team player and Angel City player Kristin Press. Not only
is she was one of the most prolific scores on
(52:19):
the globe, she was one of the biggest stars in
women's soccer. She earned one hundred and fifty five caps.
Caps in the terminology of soccer means like she represented
the USA one hundred and fifty five times. So if
anybody refers to like, how many caps did you have,
it's how many times did you actually play for your
national team. She scored sixty four goals for the US
(52:39):
women's national team and helped lead the squad to two
FIFA Women's World Cup titles, and she was a medalist
bronze medalist. One of the things that really hit me
about her story is that she's gone through so many
trials and tribulations, one of them being she just got
back last year from a acl teir, which took around
I don't know two years to get back to playing.
(53:01):
She went through a lot after that, knee injury. She's
thirty six years old, so it was towards the latter
end of her career. But one of the things that
like literally I was like nearly in tears is that
her mom passed away in twenty nineteen, when Kristin was,
you know, in her late twenties. Her mom was only
fifty eight fifty nine years old, and it was something unexpected,
(53:24):
and it was something that Kristin has openly spoken about
and like how she you know, dealt with being an
athlete and dealing with that type of grief after her
mom's passing. Look up her story. There's this really just
like beautiful story that she's open about where the night
(53:45):
that her mom passed, she she played in a game,
and so I just wanted, I know, like this whole
episode was also about like connection and all of that,
but like one is celebrating Kristin Press's incredible career but
also just being an example of dealing with so many
different trials and tribulations over her career and just being
(54:06):
an incredible athlete at the same time. So just like
I literally could just think about that story I listened
to and just like think about the tears rolling down
because it was really impactful.
Speaker 1 (54:17):
That's crazy she played that same night too. One of
the things we didn't touch based on in this episode
too is Theellts Mortos. Yeah, which is such a beautiful tradition.
If you haven't heard of Theells Mortos or you haven't
watched the movie Coco, oh you need to. It's such
a sweet way to think about the afterlife. And for
(54:40):
the first time this year, I'm going to a wedding
in Mexico and we're going to be celebrating the Eels Mortos.
And they asked for photos of loved ones that had
passed away, and I sent so many because oh my god,
they were like a photo. I was like, I can't
send a picture of my widow without sending a picture
(55:02):
of may Auida because they're gonna get heated.
Speaker 2 (55:05):
Gotta be fair.
Speaker 1 (55:06):
I have to send a picture of my cousins. So
I was like, we sent like six pictures between Luciano
and I and she was like, that is perfectly fine.
But I was like, I just want everybody to like
have the opportunity to like come in and dance with
us for you know, at least an evening or a day,
and to remember them.
Speaker 3 (55:23):
So I just thought something interesting that I'm excited. I'm
looking forward to celebrating this year that I've always like
wanted to do, especially since the first year that I
did my the Olits Mortals ride at Peloton, which was
very special for me, to like look into that part
of them, of culture, of Latin American culture, for sure.
Speaker 2 (55:43):
That is so awesome. Yeah all right, well this was real.
Speaker 1 (55:48):
This was real. This is real interesting today and real spooky.
So thank you guys for joining us.
Speaker 2 (55:54):
I'm like in the mood to go get like a
pumpkin spice slota now yeah, same, all right guys, you
guys maybe two or a witches broom.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
Today we have a very special guest. We have Aiden
Castellanos from the podcast Sousto, Who's gonna come scare the
shit out of us hopefully?
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Good morning friend?
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Hi you so Sisos a podcast about scary stories centered
around the folklore of LATINX and Hispanic cultures. So I
hope you're already because this is asta la hoo. Drop
the beat.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
I'm in a very spooky city called New York City.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
So if you hear some spooky.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Sirens in the background, we're already setting the toad. You're
welcome there paid afters So Suso is a podcast that
has been around since twenty nineteen. We are so excited
to welcome our gate our guests.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Aiden Castillo's welcome to out the Laho.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Baby, Hi, thank you for having me. Good morning.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
For the record, Aiden is like his room is all
like green and black? What are the what are those
ears I had?
Speaker 5 (01:50):
They're like my headphones, but I have these horn attachments
on them. Oh my to show up the where.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Okay, wait, where where are you? And what time of
the day is it that your room is green? Because
we don't know what's where you are where what's going on?
Speaker 5 (02:06):
So this is the sixth layer of hell and it
is no kidding I am, I mean basically the same thing.
I'm currently based in Austin, Texas. I'm originally from the
Rio Grande Valley or the RGV, which is right on
the Texas my skill boarder, but I've been haunting Austin
for the last maybe four years now.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
That is awesome. I just got back from Austin and
it was hella hot, but no yeah, yeah, I like it.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
I'm going to Austin today, actually Austin. Yeah, We're gonna
run where like random, We're running on the Formula one track,
which is insane. I'm running a five k on it, which.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Is so sick.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Right, It's so yeah, Well, Aiden thinks for being here,
we're going to dive into things because we we love Halloween.
So what are your favorite scary movies?
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Oh my god? Okay, so I'll just say this really quick.
There's a big misconception about me from people that listen
to the show, or even like family and friends who
don't really know. People think that I don't or that
I don't scare easy. They say, you're not scared of
anything because this is what you do and this and that,
and I'm like, it's true to a point. Like I
(03:19):
can handle more horror movies, I think than the average person.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
But I'm so really mad.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
You also like, I don't like to be in an
actual haunted house.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
I like the.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
University Studios one or the Fiesta Texas the Six Flags
ones because I know those are fake, right, And with
movies it's hard like they go either direction.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
So I'm gonna give two.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
I think one of my favorite Halloween I say it's
a Halloween movie is Death Becomes Her with Meryl Streeve,
Goldie Han, Bruce Willis The Youth Potion Everlasting Life.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Cause it's very.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
Campy, it's very glamorous, but it's still like a little spooky, right.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
I need to watch that this season again me.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
It's so so good.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
And then I would say one of my other, like
top favorite scary movies y'all said one, I'm gonna give
you three.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Sorry, There's this movie that I really really love called.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Uh It's nineteen seventy four or The Possession of aut Dad.
It's a yeah, it's it's set in the seventies and
it's a possession movie, but it has a twist in
it that and I go. I go to the movies
at least once a week. I have a season past, so.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
I'm always there.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
And this movie when I saw it, literally jaw on
the floor. It was so scary but also just so
well done. So I think once you get past that
kind of obstacle of being scared and you start to see,
like I guess, like the.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Artistry and the writing.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
And all that, that movie was so good to me.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
And then the final one I'll.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
Give You is a It's a Guatemalan version by A
directed by Hiro Ustamante of and it's set in what Themala,
and it's centered around the genocide of indigenous Guatemalans. And
it's based off of like, like the real genocide. It's
like something that actually happened. And so it's such an
(05:12):
impactful story because it's told through that perspective, and so
it hits really hard, and that's why it's one of
my favorites.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I don't know aiden you said possession. I don't fuck
with possession.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Have you seen have you seen when? Have you seen
when evil lurks?
Speaker 5 (05:30):
Oh my god, Yes, that one was wi old wild.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
That one is insane.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
I could do possession movies all day. The zombie movies
are the one that get me. Because you said you're
gonna run the five K.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
I don't know about you.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
I have like an eleven minute mile. I'm not surviving that.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Really.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
Yeah, that's like I'll distract them. You all go, you
all keep going, I'll stay back here.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
I love I love to a certain extent scary movies
like I often watch them. I don't know why, because
then I'm like walking around my house and my husband
is like, go to the bathroom, Like I like, go
to the bathroom, and then my husband gets up.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
He's been doing this thing. Luciano has been doing this
sane lately where he scares the fuck out of me.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
The other day, I was a back being like clearly,
I can't hear you, and instead of saying like hey baby,
he comes out all creepy, taps me in the shoulder
and then I turn around yell.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Then the other day I was running on the trund
thatt like five in the morning, and he decides, like
to come out but not turn on any lights.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Or not say anything, and I was watching I was
watching a Netflix show about ah fuck was the name.
I forgot the name, but it was like about a
family in the house or whatever, and it's like all
very spooky, and I was like watch because sometimes spooky
things make me run faster.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
So I watched it on the peloton tread while I'm running,
and I'm like watching this thing where like things jumping
out at me. It's partially my fault too, But why
would he come out without turning on a single light
with his creepy, lengthy body like this.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Coming out the fucking room and I turn around, I scream.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
And then the last thing that I'm going to tell
you is that he comes.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Out of the of the I go to the bathroom
right at three in the morning.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I just get up.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
I have to use the bathroom instead of him like
turning on a single light to go to the bathroom.
It's three in the morning. I get out of the bathroom,
I turn off the light.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
I'm walking back and I see this huge shadow in
front of me. I'm like, I'm about to die.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
You know, this is murdering Brooklyn murder demon. A demon
is in my apartment. So I yell at the top
of my lungs and he's like it turns on. He's
like whoa, whoaoa.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
I'm like, I'm not a fall here. That's crazy.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Wait, so I've wait. My biggest takeaway from your story, Tommy, is.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I forgot where I was going anyway, but I'll figure
it out.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
No, but I gotta take away though. I gotta take away.
If y'all want to really really, you know, test your
heart rate, you know, get in that fitness test, your
fitness out run, do a scary.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Movie words, because your heart rates are up, so you're
adrenaline's pumping and you're like, I might as well run.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
That is such a good idea.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
I'm just gonna start like listening to the audiobook of
the Exorcist or something while run.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
That'll get outside.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Ya.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Wait.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
So the scariest movie that I've ever watched, and this
is this is years ago. Do you guys remember that movie?
And it was like the scariest top ranked on Netflix
is from Spain called Betica.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Oh yeah, I love that one yo. Okay, so that
was the classic.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Yeah, so I am the biggest chicken. I hate scary movies.
My husband will like mess around and like, well, he
will be on the couch, will be flipped through the
channels and he'll like, on purpose, keep like a scary
movie on until I notice it and I'm like take
it off. I'm like take it off.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
No, no, no, no no.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
I'm like, I don't. I can't do it. I can't
do it, guys. So anyways, this was years ago, and
we ate a gummy So that's when all started, and
we popped on Venonica and I couldn't do it, y'all.
I couldn't endure it. I could I think I like
I think I pieced out halfway through. I couldn't go.
I couldn't know that one.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
The reason why that one's scary to me is because
it's like realistic.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Yes, those are the scarier ones, like if there's like
I don't know, like it.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Every now and then i walk by a freaking steward
rain and I'm like, what if something comes out of it?
But it's not because I'm like scared of a clowne.
It's because I'm like.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
You don't hear like a high kami.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Oh my god, they all float down here.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
I that movie, Benonica.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
I like that movie a lot too.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
I've actually I've done an episode because it's based on,
like you said, like real events. It's based on a
real or an alleged case of possession in Spain. And
it's also I think the first time that paranormal has
been documented on a police report in Spain, and so
I did an episode on the actual case. The family
(09:54):
was the Gwiedis family, and the actual young woman that
happened to you, her name was the Stefanie. And the
movie it's similar to like the supposed real life events,
but it's creepy because there's actual there's pictures from the
house and you can see it's like torn up the
mattress that they flip over and there's like a black
(10:17):
sludge under it. They show they have the picture of
like the creepiest detail from that whole story, and I
think they put it at the end of the movie too,
is that sometime after unfortunately Sephania passed away, that there
was a picture of her hanging in the family's living room,
and there was other pictures around it, and for some
(10:39):
reason her picture the glass cracked and a fire started
on her face, but it only burned up her face
in the picture and nothing else around it was burned.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Oh my god, that's crazy, right.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Yeah, So now you should have watched that tonight, Melissa,
knowing that it's real.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Let me get the gummies ready, maybe don't.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
The last thing that I will say about watching scary
movies is that I had a stand where I was
watching a lot.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Of scary movies and then one day I was walking
my dog and where I used to it was like
right by the water, and it was like six in
the morning. It was like a nice day, the sun
was coming out, and I was just staring at the
at the water in the river, and in my head,
I was like, I wonder if they're like a dead
body's gonna come up right now, like float up. And
(11:27):
I was like actively waiting for a dead body to
like come up in the water.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
And I was like, maybe I should take a break.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
And I stop watching scary movies for a minute. I
have a really sick brain, you guys.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I feel like because I'm so fucked up, Like I
always think of like the scariest possible situations that could
happen at any possible moment, like the most like gruesome,
disgusting scary situations. Those are always happening in my brain, unfortunately.
Is the way that I'm like set up to the
point that when I was little, I used to go
to sleep and I used to think about all all
(12:00):
these scary things as I was like closing my eyes
and I used to I still sometimes have to be
like flowers, dandelions, things, so I'm not visualizing like a
fucking zombie before I'm like going to sleep.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
Getting prepared, Yes exactly.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
You know, God forbid a girl be prepared.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
You know, God, there'd be a haunting down the street.
I got, and.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
When there is, he's gonna know what to do.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Okay, run away, she survived myself from the family I want.
I don't have the solution, but I know how to avoid. Okay,
I have a couple more questions. So Aiden is actually like,
we're gonna get into some Legina's right. But then also
he's gonna hook us up because he's gonna tell us
(12:46):
two scary stories, like two party tricks, like he's gonna
hook you up. And I might say one of the
ones that I have. And I'm a terrible storyteller, but
if we have enough time, I'll do it. What are
your favorite horror characters of all time?
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Who?
Speaker 5 (13:02):
Well, I think, of course I have to say our girl, Layrna.
I tell people she's like the Beyonce of ghosts.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
You know, she's worldwide.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Everybody knows her, everybody loves her. That's everybody's go to.
Everybody has a Yodorona story. I saw her here, I
saw her there, I saw Beyonce in Vegas, I saw
la Rna and McKellen Texas. You know, she's she's like
I think the number one because it's like anytime I
bring her up at an event and like, no matter
the background, everybody has a story about her, like has
(13:34):
heard about her at the very least.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
So those we don't know her, can you say like
a little like quick blurb about lat you dona?
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
So, La Rna was a woman who entered into a
relationship with a man of quote a higher cast or
a higher class. In many tellings of the story, she's
an indigenous woman who fell in love with the Spaniard man.
And another version of the story, it wasn't really love.
It was he just took her as his companion, and
(14:06):
they had children. And one day she caught him with
a quote proper Spanish woman and she it drove her
into exactly, it drove her into a frenzy. And in
this fury and and this frenzy, she decided that was it.
She was going to end it all. And so she
(14:27):
tossed her kids into her river. And when she saw
what she did and she came to she jumped in
after them, but it was too late, and her and
her children died. And so now it said that she
cannot enter the afterlife until she finds her children. And
so that's why if you're out late by bodies of
water in the dead of night, you can hear her
crying and calling for her children.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Oh wow damn, yeah, wow, I did never knew that one,
Like I just I don't know. I never knew like
the detailed story. I obviously knew and was familiar of Vlada,
but not like that, like wow, yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
And there's so many different versions too. And she's become
this like figure for different kinds of theory, like feminist theory,
even queer theory. I've seen people use her story for,
but this sort of like and like you said when
I was telling the story, this man cheater, right, it's
always her.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
How could she do this?
Speaker 5 (15:24):
How could she harm her children? And how could she
end her life? And yes, obviously those are that's not
I wouldn't say that's the quote right answer. But also
the heat is never on the man for abusing this woman,
for betraying her, for tossing his whole family aside for
a quote proper woman, come on, hey, let's wake it up.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
We got to talk about it, thank you.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
But also I hope she, like I hope she spooked
the f out of out of him, this man. Hell
yeah right right, yo, you.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Would not get enough of me. I'll be all up
in there crying while you sleeping, while you wake, while
you're making your coffee in the morning. Exactly.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
My boyfriend, he's always like, He's always like, if I die,
if I pass on before you, I want you to
be happy. I'm like, fuck that, dude, I'm gonna haunt you.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 5 (16:20):
You better not bring another managara house?
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 5 (16:24):
I'm gonna be there fucking tapping on the windows, scratching
your feet.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Do not bring another Manatary bed O.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
Nice try, Jeffrey, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Good luck, Jeffrey.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Well this is a perfect transition. Do you believe in ghosts?
And have you? If so, maybe not? Have you ever
experienced one?
Speaker 4 (16:45):
I sure do.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
I think it would be wild for me to do
all of this and be like, no, it just ends right.
I No, I absolutely do. I think the way that
I have explained it to people is I think that
ghosts or haunting or spirits a lot of the time,
I think they're impressions of energy. You know, we as
(17:08):
human beings, as living things, we have energy, right, we
have like magnetic fields. And I'm listen, I'm not a scientist, Okay,
I'm just gonna preface that real quick. But you know,
we have energy around us and in us, and I
think when we have stayed in a place for long enough,
if we've lived enough life, or if something really traumatic
has happened, we kind of like stamp our energy onto
(17:30):
that place and in that time.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
And so that's kind of how I understand it.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
I remember when I was growing up, my grandparents raised me,
and my mom was a teen mom, and you know,
we're still very close, and she eventually moved out of
her parents at my grandparents' house, but you know, I
stayed They raised me, and so I stayed there. And
by this time, she was, you know, already an adult,
twenty something whatever she moved out.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
I was a teenager.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
I was home alone, and I was watching TV. And
in our living room there's this like half wall that
separates the living room and the hallway in my mom's house.
And I was there and I was watching TV, and
I saw something from the corner of my eye and
I look and on the other side of this half wall,
I saw my mom just looking at me, and I
(18:18):
like turned back, and then I did a double take
because I remembered I'm home alone, how was And so
I turned again and she was gone, and I get up,
and I was confused more than anything. I wasn't even
scared because it's like, that was my mom. So I
get up, I'm looking around. I'm still alone. And so
after all this time, after like doing the show and
like being really into the paranormal for a very long time,
(18:40):
that's kind of just how I've come to understand is
she lived up until that point, her entire life in
that house, and so I thought, Okay, she she stamped
her energy in this place. And so I think even then,
what people might perceive as a haunting or a ghost
may not be from someone who has passed, someone that's
still alive. But that's also why when you hear about
(19:04):
a haunting or this ghost is is stuck in this place,
it's because something traumatic happened to them. A lot of
ghost stories they start with tragedy, with death, with sudden death,
and so I think because of that, you know, those
those imprints are left behind. Now other times, I do
still believe that at the same time, there are entities,
(19:24):
there are spiritual entities and energies that maybe are not human,
that are that could actually be a lingering spirit. But
you know, it's not an exact science. All of this
is open to interpretation, but that's kind of how I
like make sense of it in my head.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Tomi, what's the scariest thing that has happened to you?
Have you ever that? What thing like that?
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Besides my husband in middle of the night.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
One time I was I was living in a townhouse
in Miami, and I was like, I don't know, I
was like thirteen or something, and I was I'm really
scared of the dark, so especially at that time.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
So when I was downstairs, I.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Would have to turn off the lights downstairs, and there
was like no switch in between. So I would have
to turn off the lights downstairs and I would sprint
up the stairs and oftentimes I would see my hair
when I would turn the corner, and that would freak
me out right. But one time I was whatever, I'd
turn off the light and then I was actually kind
(20:42):
of like jogging up the stairs instead of like sprinting
full blown sprint. I wasn't as scared. And then I
heard one of the chairs move and I had a cat.
I had a black cat.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Her name was Data. There's a story like I was
read when I was a kid.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
My mom was like super into bluhas. So I heard
this noise downstairs. I come upstairs and I'm like, oh,
I was just bed at the right And then I
go into my room and she's asleep no, and then.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
My brother's sleep.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
My mom I was the only one that was awake,
and I was like, oh my god, like that was
I don't know, like what could have moved the chair
besides my cat.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Surely that was really scary.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Wait, So my sister in law, they have a house
in Bogota, Columbia. This house is pretty old. It's pretty forget.
It's like one of those old houses that like when
you walk, it's like you could hear every noise. Okay,
And at the time, I was playing on the national team,
but in between camps, I would stay in this house
so I wouldn't have to fly back to the US,
(21:44):
and my brother was living there. At the time. My
brother was doing his master's degree and so he would
go to nights, like at night classes. I'm like, I
don't know, nineteen years old alone in this five bedroom,
big ass house that's already haunted. There's like paintings on
the wall of like children, and there's dolls like guys,
(22:05):
this place is scary. I'm telling you right now. My husband.
I took my husband there once. He's like, I never
want to go back in there again. No jo, Yeah,
like no joke. They have a closed children's playroom, and
one day I was like, do you want to go inside?
He's like, hell no, what do I want to go inside?
Not even open that door. So anyways, I was getting
ready for bad and I was alone at home and
(22:25):
I'm just like inside of my bed. And you guys, remember,
like especially when DVD players were new and like small
like laptops, you would just like watch video like movies,
maybe in your bed, like on TV playre. I literally
had the screen like this, so all I see in
front of me is my screen is the movie I'm playing.
Nothing around it, just blackness and a scream, kind of
like what we all look like at like eleven PM
(22:46):
at night, scrolling on our phones. Right, so imagine that,
And then all this sudden, a face pop up right
next to the screen.
Speaker 6 (22:55):
Going like you, yes, hello, mother, my brother, my brother.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Snuck into the house.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Knew I was already scared of that was your brother, forgivable,
So it wasn't a ghost.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
It wasn't a spirit. It was my brother who almost
became a ghost that night. I almost literally.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Him.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
Guys.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
If you guys have ever been so scared to the
point that you start crying, that was me.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
I I cried, That's insane. What was your reaction?
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Cried? I cried? And then once I like gathered myself,
I was like, what did I would you do that
to a bit? And he was like on the floor
dying laughing, and I was just like, you just wait
till I get you back. Whatever. But that's what happens
when you're the youngest sister. And that's why I don't
watch scary movies.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
That that's happened to me.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
Once I getting to that point of wanting to cry,
I I'll tell the really quickly. I've told this story before,
but it this was one of the time, one of
the times that it really solidified, like, Okay, there is there,
there's something out there. And I was at a barbecue
with my family and my parents and I we ended
up staying late because my mom was helping clean up
(24:16):
and all that afterwards, and so it was just my THEA,
my THEO, my mom and dad and myself and my
THEA started telling us about this weird stuff that's happening
because they lived in like the rancho and the month
they like they were out there kind of alone, just
surrounded by field and grass, and so they were telling.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Us about which is so scary.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
Yeah, that alone at night is scary. So they'd start
telling us about weird stuff that's happening. And my THEA
is saying how she would she could see from the kitchen.
It's that the sink was up against like the very
back of the house, and so there's a window over
the sink and she could see into their backyard, which
is just like complete darkness, all like open field, and
she could see shadows of people walking around, and that
(24:57):
my THEO would go out to investigate, like who is
on our property and there would be nobody and there
was no business, like nobody had any business being out
there because the road wasn't close by, and so he
would go and check in nothing. And so they're telling
us this and we're all sitting down and it was
like the dining room table. I was at the head
of the table, my Themi THEO were on one side,
(25:17):
my mom and dad on the other, and then on
the other end of the table, there was another chair,
but that's where the back door was. And so they're
telling us this and out of nowhere, and it's one
of those houses where you could hear everything. It was
like built on block, so like everything echoes its wooden.
If somebody's walking the other side of the house, you're
going to hear it. And then all of a sudden,
the back door it starts shaking, and the handle it's
(25:40):
like twisting like somebody is trying to like slamming it,
and it's loose like they're like slamming it back and
forth like they're trying to get inside.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
And we all just stop and look. And me, I
didn't know what to do. And you know, we just
had a barbecue.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
So there was this like big bottle of soda and
I just got the soda and I'm put it in
front of me to try and hide behind it because
I I did not know what to do. I was terrified.
And it happened like two or three more times that
same night when they were and each time my uncle
would go and throw the door open and see what
was out there, and it was nothing.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
He was like, you know, it's a dog. It's a dog.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
But either the dog wasn't there or at one point
we even heard the dog like run away crying, you know,
like when the dog gets hit, and so hell no,
yeah it was. And so then we were like, okay,
it's time to go home. And I was like, you
want me to go out there to run into the
van so that he can go home. It was one
of the scariest moments of my life.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Oh my god, oh.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
God, absolutely not.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Well, I have another scary story. It was not as scary.
I felt a presence. I went to Bota.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Just happened in Bobo because like, was that in too,
yeah right mine?
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Yeah, yeah, well yours was your stupid brother.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
I went to Thing and I stayed at the Four
Seasons in Bougie, I know, And then they put me
in this like in.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
The tower in the back.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
It was a huge room, but I, like, I say,
in a hotel room, I want the smallest room possible,
so there's like less space for entities to be floating
around or anything. So I go and like for some reason,
I couldn't fall asleep, and it was so quiet, numb
in New York, so it's so loud, and I heard
just silence it was just like silence, and I was
(27:29):
waiting for the moment where like somebody would step.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
On the wood and like creak, and I was like,
I can't do this, so I put like Animal Planet.
I was like Steve Erwin was like yelling in my ear.
The whole night. I didn't sleep anything. The next day,
I was like, I don't know, guys, And I never
say this. I literally never say this. And I was like,
I don't know, guys.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
I just feel like there was like something, like something
wasn't right in my room, you know what I mean,
Like I just feel like there was something and I
was waiting for something to happen, and that never happens
to me, like never, and I was taught. I kept
talking Andrista, like the drummer from Foo Fighters, passed away
in the hotel and I wasn't like I was in
such a huge room and I was like talking to somebody.
(28:07):
I think they lied to me because they're like, what
room are you in? And I was like, oh, like
five twenty He's like, oh that you're good. He died
in five twenty two. We were talking about it last
night and I was like that night I came back
to the hotel room and I was like, I love
your music.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Are you still listen to you all the time in
the closet in my kitchen. I'm here in peace, like
I really fuck with you. I'm so sorry you're gone.
Like I was talking to him, just don't fuck with me,
just don't.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
Fuck with me.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
But I felt someone.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
I felt better because I was like, okay, we're we're vibes,
you know, like nothing's gonna happen. Like it was just
like a positive thing. But yeah, I didn't sleep well anyway.
I want to know from you because obviously is like
a big one.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
But like lachubagawadah is lechubagawada real?
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Can I can? I did the voice of it.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
There's a voice, Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
That like.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
You all right now go on YouTube and just put
like sounds and you'll see that's so fail.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
That's like what Pokemon do.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
My brother My brothers also used to scare me. They
would like go next to the bed and like.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
Yeah, okay, that's so funny.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
I don't know the chupakava.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
It gives me like alien vibes, you know. I'm like,
I think maybe that is an extraterrestrial kind of thing
it got lost and maybe it like bread here on earth,
and so now there's more of them.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
I don't know. I personally have never seen one.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
I know that there was this like Chupacaba sensation, I
guess in Puerto Rico for a while in I think
the eighties or nineties, and it was like all over
the news, like people were swearing like they're killing our livestock.
And so I don't know it. It's I always take
it here, but it gives me like like economic panic.
(30:03):
You know, if it's attacking the livestock, that's people's livelihoods, right,
you know some people they rely on that livestock for
It's true.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
I didn't think about it that way.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
Right, And so like it's it's like an economic kind
of impact because it's like, well now this all this
product is ruined because I got to it.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
If we get into a recession, it's it's.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
That is a real recession indicator.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
There's for sure, so real, that's real.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
I felt that, Okay, so is not real?
Speaker 1 (30:37):
What about this?
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:40):
What about doin this?
Speaker 4 (30:41):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (30:42):
I think I do think the winds are real. And
I'm going to give you all my idea.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
She makes doing this, and Mariloch Orantina, but when like
she just like she makes doin this.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Okay, you need to send me a picture of that
because that sounds so cool. But I I do think
they're real. I will know if you've heard this, But
I've heard, like with many things, you know, just saying
the word d Wende is like you calling to them.
So every time I say, I make sure to say
this is not an invitation.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
Please do not hide.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Yeah, you hear that. I did not invite anybody.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
It's already it's already bad enough. I lose track of everything,
So please don't hide my stuff from me. But they
say that if you are dealing with the duende, or
you think.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
You do though. First off, so they're these.
Speaker 5 (31:24):
Like little humanoid creatures, similar to like gnomes or elves.
People will say, you know, they're these these small creatures
and they're very mischievous. So they're they're known to you know,
hide in dark corners of your home or hide in
the walls, and they will mess with you by moving
your stuff around or just taking it for themselves and
(31:46):
hiding it. And in some stories they can even be helpful.
They're they're like forest dwelling creatures. So there was that
story of these children who were on a plane over
the Amazon jungle. I think it was over the Yeah
of Columbia, and the plane went down and the pilot
and their mother unfortunately passed away. And it was a
(32:07):
group of I think four children, the oldest one being twelve,
the youngest being an infant. They spent forty nights in
the Amazon jungle and they survived, and in those forty nights,
the infant turned one years old or one year old
in that time. But after they were found and rescued,
their grandmother in an interview, she said that the forest
(32:31):
saved them, that a duende was guiding them to safety
throughout that those forty nights.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
It can also be the yeah, so they can also
be cute.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
I make my stuff like go missing for a minute.
Speaker 5 (32:43):
But people will say that that they work with the
duendez and so they'll leave them offering. So you can
leave them like little pieces of candy or shiny things,
and that if you want to, if you don't want
to work with them, if you don't want them in
your in your home, that you open the door, you
open the back door, you grab some candy and you say, hey,
like here I have this for you, go get it,
(33:04):
and you leave it open for a little bit as
they go out, and then you close the door and
that should get rid of them.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
But some people do like have like it on their
keys or whatever. Yeah, like they'll have like a little
like offerings to them to say like whenever I need you,
you know, you know, I've got your back, so you're
gonna have mine.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
What if I have a like a little doing the
like thing, is that bad?
Speaker 4 (33:25):
I don't think so.
Speaker 5 (33:26):
I mean it could be seen as like admiration, right, yeah,
like you're like this is my symbol that like I'm
I'm on your side, You're my friend. We fim Yeah,
my little homies.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Am Okay, what about blue house?
Speaker 4 (33:47):
You're looking at one?
Speaker 5 (33:48):
What are you talking about? I think I mean bluhas
are people, right, you know?
Speaker 4 (33:56):
I think many.
Speaker 5 (33:57):
I think a lot of people are like born into
Bluhidia depending on their family, like who their family is.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
What they do.
Speaker 5 (34:03):
I think people can also discover buhidia much like me,
Like later in my life I discovered bou Hidia and
I practice a little bit here and there.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
I wouldn't say like I am a bua. I am
a boujo.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
You can come to me and I'm going to do
things for you.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
No, it's for me.
Speaker 5 (34:16):
It's it's way more my personal journey with it is
way more about like introspection and like building my own life.
So like I wouldn't provide services, but some of my
closest friends they do provide services. I have a friend service, yeah,
you know, like cleansings or readings or like working to
like to you know, bring favor into your life or
(34:38):
to protect you. But like one of my friends, one
of my best friends since like high school, she's shout
out Alejandra. She did an episode with me all about demons,
and she's like she's been all over the world and
she has trained with a shaman. I remember one time
she was like, hey, guys, I'm not going to be
responding to text messages because I'm going to be in
the Amazon jungle for like thirty days.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Next way.
Speaker 5 (35:01):
I was like, okay, good luck, like Texas when you
get back.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Right try.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
Literally literally does have a mom.
Speaker 5 (35:18):
And like it's a lot of work, you know, it's
a lot of work and there. But there's also stories
of the Bruchas who can transform into like balls of
fire and they travel that way or the litusa right.
People say that they can transform into owls and they're
they're known to be more mischievous or quote evil. But
(35:40):
I don't know with with those sorts of things, I
don't think. I'll say the majority of the time, I
don't think any one thing is just inherently evil.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
I think it comes down to individual.
Speaker 5 (35:50):
Practice and so you know, like with which is too yeah, yeah, yeah,
like with which is too, I think it's yeah, And
it comes down to the individual I have.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
I have I have a question which is actually based
off a true story. I'm not gonna drop names, but
I know of someone who their X the X was
a woman, he's a he's a man. The X like
they did. They did not leave on good terms. There
was no cheating involved, but they just didn't break up
good and she was like super into all of this,
(36:22):
also from Columbia, and she like put I guess like
this spell like there's three things on him, and one
of those things was his next like hookup. He couldn't
get it up And it was true.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
Yeah yeah, but that's probably because she knew, let's be
so looking for real. I knew he had a problem,
probably and he's lying.
Speaker 5 (36:49):
Yeah he could, Yeah he could be saving.
Speaker 4 (37:00):
That could be true.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
This person listens to this.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
I want to get your scary stories. So let's just
make pretend like we're sitting around a fire pit right now,
we're in the forest, we're camping. Let's tell us, tell
us a scary story.
Speaker 4 (37:24):
Okaysure, what wait?
Speaker 1 (37:25):
These are easy ones to remember that people can like
use on their friends.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
YEA, yeah, for sure, for sure.
Speaker 5 (37:30):
So this is like a classic legend that I grew
up hearing. And a lot of people will say that
it happened in their town or in their neck of
the woods, right, But I heard of this story happening
in the Rio Grande Valley where I'm from, which is
a collection of smaller cities, And so this allegedly happened
in McAllen, Texas a club called Bogachio two thousand in
(37:54):
I think in nineteen seventy nine. But there was this
young woman who was very pious, She's very obedient to
her parents, really strict religious upbringing, kind of sheltered, and
she decided one night, you know what, I want to
have fun. I want to go to the dance with
my friends. And so she depending on who's sewing the story,
(38:15):
she either snuck out or she lied about where.
Speaker 4 (38:17):
She was going.
Speaker 5 (38:18):
But she made the decision, I'm gonna go have fun tonight.
I want to go dance. So she made it out
of the house. She went with her friends. They go
to this dance hall. She's having a great time, and
she's approached by this man. And you know, there's speculation
about what he looked like, but generally tall, dark and handsome. Right,
he's probably wearing like boots, the wranglers, the stets in
(38:41):
like real vucchetto kind of type. And so he asks
her to dance, and she says okay, and it's like
it's just them too on the dance floor, basically, like
they exist in a bubble. There's nobody else with them.
They're having a beautiful time, and she suddenly snaps out
of it because she hears people screaming, and so she
(39:01):
looks around and she sees that the people that are
screaming they're pointing, and she looks and they're pointing down
at their feet, and she's confused, and so she looks
and they're still moving around, they're still spinning on the
dance floor and she looks down and she sees that
this handsome man, her dance partner. He's feet one of
them is a chickens talon and the other one is
(39:21):
a goats hoof, and she realizes that she's dancing with
the Devil.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
She's trying to break.
Speaker 5 (39:26):
Away, but he's holding her tight and they're still spinning.
And different versions of the story say that he danced
her to death. Another version says that he suddenly just
like exploded into a black plume of smoke and that
he vanished, and that she was left on the dance floor,
passed out with burn marks on her body in the
shape of handprints where he was holding her, and you
(39:49):
could just smell sulfur in the entire dance hall and
nobody ever saw him again.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (39:55):
Oh, and that was the night that a girl danced
with the Devil.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
Yeah, don't let that happens in Miami A lot, I.
Speaker 4 (40:02):
Know, I was going to say. I was like, listen,
I've had.
Speaker 5 (40:08):
I haven't countered many demon twinks out there.
Speaker 4 (40:11):
I used to be one.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
So that's like a many rated scary story. Scary, but
it's still very spooky. I'm a scary one. It's very
a little gruesome though. I don't know who want to
talk about it. Let's yeah, it was in Spanish, but
I don't know, I'm going to say it in English.
(40:33):
So this person's in their apartment, right, there's a person
in their apartment and they're getting ready to go to sleep,
like it's late at night, and they have the radio on,
and in the radio they're like, oh, well, somebody has
escaped in Manicomeo. How do you say that in the
psych word? So right, I think, yeah, a psych word,
(40:57):
somebody's escaped the psyche word. So it it's within the neighborhood.
So make sure that you like lock your doors, insane asylum,
insane asylum, so make sure that you lock your doors. Whatever.
Speaker 3 (41:08):
So this person goes, they lock their doors, they like
close the blinds, they lock their windows, they lock everything,
and then they go to sleep. And before they go
to sleep, they have a dog. So they put their
hand down every night and the dog licks their hands.
So the person puts the hand down underneath the bed,
the dog licks the hand.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
They go to sleep. Then in the.
Speaker 3 (41:30):
Middle of the night, they hear a noise coming from
the bathroom. So when they go into the bathroom, they
turn on the light and they see, they hear they
see something behind the current. So they open up the
curtain and they see the dog that's like dead hanging there,
and then written with the dog's blood in the mirror,
it says crazy people can lick too.
Speaker 4 (41:50):
No, I hate that. I hey, I hated that. Disgusting. Uh,
oh my god. Listen.
Speaker 5 (42:00):
I always say people are scarier than the ghosts. People
are so much scarier.
Speaker 1 (42:06):
Yo, that's a scary story for real, for real.
Speaker 5 (42:08):
Yeah, oh my god, oh my god.
Speaker 1 (42:12):
Yeah, I feel like it's scarier in Spanish.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
But nobody else. I mean, that was good. That was good.
That was good.
Speaker 4 (42:19):
Yeah, yeah, that was good. I was in a band
because it was good.
Speaker 1 (42:27):
Do you have another one that you want to say?
Or mainly do you have one?
Speaker 3 (42:30):
No?
Speaker 2 (42:31):
I just maybe on a lighter note, do you guys
know what like like a serial killer, what their favorite
weapon is?
Speaker 3 (42:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (42:46):
That is Oh my god, you know what.
Speaker 1 (42:49):
As you can't see, I.
Speaker 5 (42:50):
Don't me me their hands, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (42:59):
I know her. That's why I knew it was.
Speaker 2 (43:01):
Oh, Aiden's like thinking about all these like crazy like
instruments like weapons, I know right, he's looking at me
like a spoon bitch.
Speaker 5 (43:13):
Oh my god, that's so good.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
All right, shall we move?
Speaker 1 (43:18):
Do you have another story?
Speaker 4 (43:19):
I do have one more really quick.
Speaker 5 (43:20):
This is another one kind of like it's kind of
like on that same vein of like those urban legends.
You may have heard it, but it's a story of
this woman who she traveled with a friend and they
went out partying and she was she met this guy
and like he really wanted to take her home.
Speaker 4 (43:37):
They were really feeling each other.
Speaker 5 (43:39):
They were making out in the dance floor, and like
he got her all the way into his car and
like they were making out there and he was like, no,
let's go. Let's go and try to go with her,
and she was like, no, I can't. And her friend
even came out and like went to the car and said, no,
you're not going, like we were not from here. We
said we weren't going to separate. We need to leave.
So she her friend took her. They go back home,
(44:00):
and maybe like a week or so later, she starts
breaking out in this rash around her mouth and she
goes to the doctor and she's like I don't know,
like what's happening, and he was like, do you have allergies?
Speaker 4 (44:10):
Have you eaten anything?
Speaker 5 (44:12):
And were you traveling recently? And she said, actually, yeah,
I was on vacation. Close I was on vacation. And
she's like, what's that. Actually, I'm worried because I was
making out with this guy and he's the only person
on the vacation that I did anything with, but we
didn't like it was just kissing. And he was like, well,
we're going to run some tests just to you know,
see what it might be. So they do swaves and
(44:33):
all that, take samples.
Speaker 4 (44:34):
They go.
Speaker 5 (44:35):
A couple days later, she gets to call from the
doctor's office and he says him, is so and so
we need you to come to the doctor's office now please.
Speaker 1 (44:43):
I'm going to cry.
Speaker 5 (44:43):
She goes back and she's freaking out. She thinks like
what is this? And she goes and the.
Speaker 4 (44:49):
Doctor puts her. They put her in a room.
Speaker 5 (44:50):
The doctor walks in and he has two police officers
with him and they're like, can you tell us more
about this man that you were telling about? And she
was like, like tried to describe him, but didn't have
any real information on him. She's like, Okay, what is happening.
Why are you all asking me about him? Why are
there police hearing the doctor?
Speaker 4 (45:09):
What's going on?
Speaker 5 (45:10):
And they go, well, we took the samples and it's
a bacteria that people get when they eat human flesh. Nope,
So her friend essentially like saved her life that night.
Speaker 2 (45:23):
Jesus, that's what you get for being.
Speaker 5 (45:24):
Associate that you make up. Let us live, you know,
be careful you make out with and when you're traveling.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
Oh serious, my.
Speaker 1 (45:38):
God, if I needed something else to worry about as
a woman, they get married, so I won't be you know,
with anybody.
Speaker 2 (45:48):
Those days are long gone. Okay, Aiden, Please tell us, like,
how did you get started your passion for all of this,
this spooky life and paranormal you know, this is this
is quite interesting.
Speaker 5 (45:59):
It started really young for me when I always I
have this book that I always reference. But when I
was in elementary, they used to read this book to
us in class. It was called Stories that Must Not
Die and it was full of like folklore and fables
and there was actually the story of Laona in there,
and the girl who Danced with the Devil. And again,
mind you, they're reading this to like third graders and
(46:24):
it seems weird to think about that, but the stories
were side by side in the book in English and Spanish,
and then at the end of the stories there was
a set of questions. So they were basically teaching us
reading comprehension through folklore and through horror.
Speaker 4 (46:38):
Stories many times.
Speaker 5 (46:40):
And so these kinds of stories have been part of
my life since as long as I can remember, because
if it wasn't that, it was at like a family
barbecue or get together with friends, the conversation always ended
up there. The sun would set and people would say,
you know, so insult the attention. I saw the Devil
on the Ranch last night, and it's like, Okay, we're
going there and we're telling these stories. So they've just
(47:02):
always been part of my upbringing. And then when I
started listening to podcasts, I really wanted to hear a
show about these stories, and I had a very clear
vision of what I wanted it to sound like. I
couldn't find something that exactly fit that, and so I'm
a virgal rising and I said, you know what, I'm
going to do it myself.
Speaker 4 (47:17):
So here I am. I.
Speaker 1 (47:19):
Now, you've been creating podcast episodes since twenty nineteen. You
have a lot that you've covered since then.
Speaker 5 (47:26):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's been a really really cool journey.
I've expanded from just that region of the world, so
Northern Mexico, South Texas, and in doing the show, I've
made connections to other cultures within the Latin American diaspora
that I had never really thought about before. But there's
so many similarities and sometimes there's like things that I've
never heard about, and it's just really really interesting to
(47:47):
hear about and to share those stories.
Speaker 2 (47:50):
Wow, that is amazing. For our listeners, where can they
hear your podcast and listen to your.
Speaker 1 (47:55):
Stories or find you in general?
Speaker 5 (47:57):
Yeah yeah, So Susto is on podcast platform that's s
u s t Oh. You can find me on social
media at at soustal podcast on every platform, and on
my website at sustal podcast dot com.

Speaker 3 (48:12):
By the way, Thank you well, thanks for hanging out
with us.
Speaker 1 (48:16):
I give wait to go back and listen to more
of your episodes. I listened to one this morning and
I was like, Oh, it's really getting me in the mood.
A little spooky season.
Speaker 2 (48:26):
That's just not with one of those killers at the club.
Speaker 1 (48:29):
Yeah no, no, no, no, at least I'll know what to
look out for.
Speaker 3 (48:33):
You've got to always be prepared, exactly, exactly.
Speaker 1 (48:37):
Thanks for joining us, Aiden than all right, guys, Well
that was a little spooky, if you will. I'm obsessed
with Aden. He wants to come hang out with me.
Speaker 2 (48:55):
He is so fun. Honestly, as we were preparing for
the show, I was like, Oh my god, am I
gonna get nightmares tonight? Because that's how I am. I'm
a little scaredy cat.
Speaker 1 (49:02):
Better me too. Honestly, my story was the worst, so
I think I.
Speaker 2 (49:07):
Agree, and my joke. My joke was the worst too.
Speaker 1 (49:10):
Actually I don't know. The flush eating one was a
little rough.
Speaker 3 (49:13):
But anyway, we're here for I am a famosa and
as you know, we got you covered.
Speaker 1 (49:18):
In the world of music, m deporte with my girl Melly.
I was thinking about a spooky soundtrack kind of situation
and I made like spooky broken Espanol playlist, which you
can find on my Spotify, not my artist spotify, my
personal spotify.
Speaker 6 (49:39):
Okay, okay, recording artist, but one of the bands that
actually is a part of the soundtrack for Venonia, the
movie that you mentioned.
Speaker 1 (49:49):
That's so good. If you haven't seen it, go watch it.
Speaker 2 (49:52):
It's called maybe not either got me before you watch it, but.
Speaker 1 (49:55):
Yeah, don't do that. It's called as Silencio. So if
you want to like and the vibe is so good,
we'll link the links to the playlist on this episode
so that you guys can listen to it. But that's
like the my spooky rock En Espanol playlist that I've
been working on for some time. It's been a personal project. Actually,
(50:18):
I don't even know if it's public, but I'm going
to make it public for you guys, and then I'll
send it to you. At least you can get spooked
out in the street.
Speaker 2 (50:24):
Thank you. Maybe my I'll be for my cardio day
was like.
Speaker 3 (50:28):
And also if you want to get really scared, I
know that Aiden was like, Yeah, it's not my favorite
because it's so scary.
Speaker 1 (50:34):
It's called when Evil Lurks. You guys, we need to
watch that. It won like a lot of awards. It's
an Argentinian film, and you know, foreign spooky films are
the scariest they are.
Speaker 2 (50:43):
I think Ronica might have been my last one. Either
that or like Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which I can't do.
I can't do it.
Speaker 1 (50:50):
Yeah, but the ring was so bad for me.
Speaker 4 (50:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (50:52):
I watched A sixth Sense when I was like seven
years old. I was like mommy, Bobby, like what the fuck?
Speaker 3 (50:57):
Like I know, in Argentina, like kids watch whatever, like
there's really porn a ten pm and the public TV.
Speaker 1 (51:04):
But like that was a little bit of a lot.
Speaker 2 (51:07):
You could have just put porn on the television.
Speaker 1 (51:10):
That's bored, Thank you so much.
Speaker 4 (51:15):
I am sad.
Speaker 2 (51:16):
That is actually funny. I'm also excited though, for hocus Pocus,
like that's gonna.
Speaker 4 (51:22):
Be on a replay.
Speaker 1 (51:22):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (51:24):
I don't think I name drop hocus Pocus this entire episode,
which I am so sorry because that's my favorite, my favorite. Also,
they have a really good soundtrack and I'm trying to
remember it's been a while.
Speaker 1 (51:34):
Wait, something else that I want to highlight. There's like
post punk reggaeton music, so it's like reggaeton music that's
like a boy is a no Boy, but it's like rock.
It's like alternative rock music. I'll send you that one.
Like that one's also like a hit and it's like
spooky season vibes, but also like you know the words,
so it hits.
Speaker 2 (51:54):
Dope, all right? Cool?
Speaker 1 (51:57):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (51:57):
In the world of sports, I do want to give
my flowers to someone super special who just retired from soccer,
women's soccer specifically, and that is former US women's national
team player and Angel City player Kristin Press. Not only
is she was one of the most prolific scores on
(52:19):
the globe, she was one of the biggest stars in
women's soccer. She earned one hundred and fifty five caps.
Caps in the terminology of soccer means like she represented
the USA one hundred and fifty five times. So if
anybody refers to like, how many caps did you have,
it's how many times did you actually play for your
national team. She scored sixty four goals for the US
(52:39):
women's national team and helped lead the squad to two
FIFA Women's World Cup titles, and she was a medalist
bronze medalist. One of the things that really hit me
about her story is that she's gone through so many
trials and tribulations, one of them being she just got
back last year from a acl teir, which took around
I don't know two years to get back to playing.
(53:01):
She went through a lot after that, knee injury. She's
thirty six years old, so it was towards the latter
end of her career. But one of the things that
like literally I was like nearly in tears is that
her mom passed away in twenty nineteen, when Kristin was,
you know, in her late twenties. Her mom was only
fifty eight fifty nine years old, and it was something unexpected,
(53:24):
and it was something that Kristin has openly spoken about
and like how she you know, dealt with being an
athlete and dealing with that type of grief after her
mom's passing. Look up her story. There's this really just
like beautiful story that she's open about where the night
(53:45):
that her mom passed, she she played in a game,
and so I just wanted, I know, like this whole
episode was also about like connection and all of that,
but like one is celebrating Kristin Press's incredible career but
also just being an example of dealing with so many
different trials and tribulations over her career and just being
(54:06):
an incredible athlete at the same time. So just like
I literally could just think about that story I listened
to and just like think about the tears rolling down
because it was really impactful.
Speaker 1 (54:17):
That's crazy she played that same night too. One of
the things we didn't touch based on in this episode
too is Theellts Mortos. Yeah, which is such a beautiful tradition.
If you haven't heard of Theells Mortos or you haven't
watched the movie Coco, oh you need to. It's such
a sweet way to think about the afterlife. And for
(54:40):
the first time this year, I'm going to a wedding
in Mexico and we're going to be celebrating the Eels Mortos.
And they asked for photos of loved ones that had
passed away, and I sent so many because oh my god,
they were like a photo. I was like, I can't
send a picture of my widow without sending a picture
(55:02):
of may Auida because they're gonna get heated.
Speaker 2 (55:05):
Gotta be fair.
Speaker 1 (55:06):
I have to send a picture of my cousins. So
I was like, we sent like six pictures between Luciano
and I and she was like, that is perfectly fine.
But I was like, I just want everybody to like
have the opportunity to like come in and dance with
us for you know, at least an evening or a day,
and to remember them.
Speaker 3 (55:23):
So I just thought something interesting that I'm excited. I'm
looking forward to celebrating this year that I've always like
wanted to do, especially since the first year that I
did my the Olits Mortals ride at Peloton, which was
very special for me, to like look into that part
of them, of culture, of Latin American culture, for sure.
Speaker 2 (55:43):
That is so awesome. Yeah all right, well this was real.
Speaker 1 (55:48):
This was real. This is real interesting today and real spooky.
So thank you guys for joining us.
Speaker 2 (55:54):
I'm like in the mood to go get like a
pumpkin spice slota now yeah, same, all right guys, you
guys maybe two or a witches broom.
