Greetings at Bien Veniel's, fellow seekers of the Dark. I'm
Danny three. Welcome to Nocturnal Tales from the Shadow. By
the enchanted frames of this fire, we transcend time and
space to enter the darkest depths of the Latin American imagination,
(00:31):
legend and lore, passed down through the years and retold
with a twist. Tonight, we travel through the clouds to
the Andes, where ancient lore seeks from every stone. We
look above through the cloud forests of the Amazon, where
ancient tales are beings creating lines in the sand and
(00:55):
eight foot floating creatures working in the Peruvian jungles.

Speaker 17 (20:57):
You can't go out there.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
You don't under stand. He's in danger.
Speaker 17 (21:02):
He is their harvest.
Speaker 6 (21:04):
Who are you talking about?
Speaker 19 (21:09):
There was a time before names like blue and Cologne,
At times when the land had no fences and the
sky still listened. The invaders came with iron, diseased and
got carved in oil.
Speaker 17 (21:29):
They thrown the first to smoke out the people. They
took children. They spilled the blood of priests on sacred stones,
but the Ashka got back.
Speaker 7 (21:43):
The elders had enough.
Speaker 17 (21:52):
They gathered on the mountain ridge under a red moon.
Speaker 7 (22:00):
Car The earth opened. They sang the.
Speaker 17 (22:02):
Old names of the skies.
Speaker 15 (22:05):
The promise was made not in words, but in the light.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
And silence.
Speaker 17 (22:21):
The stars blinked, not with beauty, but with warning.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
The games came too late.
Speaker 17 (22:30):
The cities were already dust, the children already stolen.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
But they so enough, and they remembered.
Speaker 17 (22:43):
They returned now, not in vengeance, but in balance. They
take from the bloodlines of the ones who took. They
repay the old dead, slowly, quietly, one by one.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
You're talking about cool. He is smart. They saw it
in him, They show so.
Speaker 10 (23:08):
No, I don't care what you think he is or
what you think he did.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
He's not a taker. They don't want you. You never
heard this land.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
Then let me go.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
If you go, they might see you too. Then let
him stalk me.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
Don't go.
Speaker 7 (23:37):
Oh no, no, no, no, no words.
Speaker 10 (24:02):
I'm here.
Speaker 7 (24:04):
You're not lack all on my hand. I can't feel
the ground.
Speaker 10 (24:07):
You're calling you up, But I won't let him take you,
not again.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
I got you. Do not like.
Speaker 7 (24:15):
Living, I can't, don't black cob no no wagon.
Speaker 11 (24:21):
My god, oh my god.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
It's all like mm hmmm mmm mmmm cool.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
Cool, don't don't no, no, no, Whi's the camera. That's okay,
it's okay.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
We we we backed everything up. Fuck, it's all gone.
Speaker 12 (25:16):
Okay, they see you.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
I swear to God, I'm gonna find you.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Some say that jungle hides more than just its creatures.
Did it remain and that sometimes it answers. Were Maggie and.
Speaker 22 (26:04):
Cole victims of a forgotten myth? Or did they trespass
on a pact not meant to be broken? One thing
for sure, wherever they found wasn't meant to be seen.
Footage can vanish, villages can forget. But when the silence
(26:27):
homes and the lights descend, listen closely because you might
hear it too, the old promise being kept. See you
next time on Noctarno.

Danny three. Welcome to Nocturnal Tales from the Shadow. By
the enchanted frames of this fire, we transcend time and
space to enter the darkest depths of the Latin American imagination,
(00:31):
legend and lore, passed down through the years and retold
with a twist. Tonight, we travel through the clouds to
the Andes, where ancient lore seeks from every stone. We
look above through the cloud forests of the Amazon, where
ancient tales are beings creating lines in the sand and
(00:55):
eight foot floating creatures working in the Peruvian jungles.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Hey, ma's I think we're almost there. It's the gear.
Speaker 3 (01:20):

Speaker 3 (01:38):
No one has ever filmed in Santa Ciela.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
Before you say something Sila, yeah, you know it.
Speaker 6 (01:46):
Be careful up there, careful, people say there's some type
of gold there.
Speaker 7 (01:54):
Thanks.
Speaker 8 (01:54):

better than that fake alien skeleton cousco?
Speaker 9 (01:59):

Speaker 3 (02:03):
A baby I don't think the sound of a call.
Speaker 2 (02:09):

Speaker 8 (02:10):
At a town no one has filmed in possible called
and potential aliens. With real proof, people would finally believe me, Babe.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
I've always believed you were taken. Aliens are practically common knowledge.
Speaker 10 (02:24):
Now we'll interview some mucles, take some videos of the sky.
Speaker 3 (02:29):

that you do not go into the jungle at night.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Hold on, why not? What's out there in the jungle?
Speaker 9 (05:22):
Illegal gold miners, loggers, bad people. You do not want
to be an American lost in the jungle at night. Okay,
mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
We will not be a headline.

Baby, We have all we need and you're hurt. Now.
Isn't that proof enough?
Speaker 11 (14:41):
No?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
That can be no doubt from anyone.
Speaker 13 (14:43):
Okay, we need to get the audio clearer and more footage.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
The rock formation has changed?
Speaker 7 (17:20):
Okay, yesterday it was just the astronauts standing there, but
now it's arms outscratched. It looks like the dead birds
are all sprinkled below the arms.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Oh this can't be good.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
And bring it down before lunches again.
Speaker 7 (17:37):

same voice. There's more.

Speaker 10 (18:43):
Cold, cold, pack up? We need to go now, cold.

Speaker 6 (20:53):
I have to go back, he calls alone.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
He's blind.
Speaker 17 (20:57):
You can't go out there.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
You don't under stand. He's in danger.
Speaker 17 (21:02):
He is their harvest.
Speaker 6 (21:04):
Who are you talking about?
Speaker 19 (21:09):
There was a time before names like blue and Cologne,
At times when the land had no fences and the
sky still listened. The invaders came with iron, diseased and
got carved in oil.
Speaker 17 (21:29):
They thrown the first to smoke out the people. They
took children. They spilled the blood of priests on sacred stones,
but the Ashka got back.
Speaker 7 (21:43):
The elders had enough.
Speaker 17 (21:52):
They gathered on the mountain ridge under a red moon.
Speaker 7 (22:00):
Car The earth opened. They sang the.
Speaker 17 (22:02):
Old names of the skies.
Speaker 15 (22:05):
The promise was made not in words, but in the light.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
And silence.
Speaker 17 (22:21):
The stars blinked, not with beauty, but with warning.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
The games came too late.
Speaker 17 (22:30):
The cities were already dust, the children already stolen.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
But they so enough, and they remembered.
Speaker 17 (22:43):
They returned now, not in vengeance, but in balance. They
take from the bloodlines of the ones who took. They
repay the old dead, slowly, quietly, one by one.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
You're talking about cool. He is smart. They saw it
in him, They show so.
Speaker 10 (23:08):
No, I don't care what you think he is or
what you think he did.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
He's not a taker. They don't want you. You never
heard this land.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
Then let me go.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
If you go, they might see you too. Then let
him stalk me.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
Don't go.
Speaker 7 (23:37):
Oh no, no, no, no, no words.
Speaker 10 (24:02):
I'm here.
Speaker 7 (24:04):
You're not lack all on my hand. I can't feel
the ground.
Speaker 10 (24:07):
You're calling you up, But I won't let him take you,
not again.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
I got you. Do not like.
Speaker 7 (24:15):
Living, I can't, don't black cob no no wagon.
Speaker 11 (24:21):
My god, oh my god.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
It's all like mm hmmm mmm mmmm cool.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
Cool, don't don't no, no, no, Whi's the camera. That's okay,
it's okay.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
We we we backed everything up. Fuck, it's all gone.
Speaker 12 (25:16):
Okay, they see you.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
I swear to God, I'm gonna find you.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Some say that jungle hides more than just its creatures.
Did it remain and that sometimes it answers. Were Maggie and.
Speaker 22 (26:04):
Cole victims of a forgotten myth? Or did they trespass
on a pact not meant to be broken? One thing
for sure, wherever they found wasn't meant to be seen.
Footage can vanish, villages can forget. But when the silence
(26:27):
homes and the lights descend, listen closely because you might
hear it too, the old promise being kept. See you
next time on Noctarno.
