Speaker 1 (00:04):
Oh la ala. This is Christina and this is Carmen,
and this is another episode of a Spooky Tale. It's
a podcast for all things spooky, true crime, hunted, places, myths,
legends in that in America. Today just spooky because we're
still in catchup mode. I don't know when that's going
to end. It might be all until the new year,
the rest of the year, yes, it just might. All right, Yeah,
(00:28):
let's get onto the episode today. First, I guess if
you're on a Patreon, we just yeah, for like twenty
minutes about our lives. Some people don't like that, some
people do. If you do, go over to Patreon anyway.
And for the topic today, I just found some creepy
metro stories. There are some of my favorites to share.
So I love a metro story me too. But before that,
(00:49):
a listener story. And if you have a story that
you want us to read, you can email as spookyos
at gmail dot com. You can DM us on any
of our socials. You can submit it on Discord, you
can call the Spooky Hotline. All that information is in
the show notes. And yeah, are you ready to read
this story? I'm ready? All right? Listener story. So my
(01:13):
dad grew up a noon rancho in Aguascalientes, Mitrakan. He
would always tell me stories of the things he and
his friend would do. Apparently they like to go to
other ranchos for parties and sometimes to visit the ladies
they had crushes on. Well. He told me that one
night he and his friend were walking back at night
from one of these parties. But it wasn't like when
you walk around at night in the city with sidewalks
(01:35):
and street lights. They were not at campo, using pathways
to get through the various landscapes, using only the light
of the moon to get around. Honestly traumatic, yeah, until
something happens. And yes, something that happened. One night, as
they were returning to their rancho, as they had done
multiple times, they saw a red ball of fire floating
(01:57):
in the distance. He said. Now, when they saw it,
they all hid behind whatever they could find. They didn't
want to draw attention to themselves. They watched the ball
of fire for only a few seconds because they knew
they had to get away from it, so they slowly
circled around it, trying to be as quiet as possible.
When they finally got around it, they continued on their
way back home. A few minutes later, one of his
(02:20):
friends decided to look back for whatever reason, and that's
when they noticed that it was following them. At this point,
they were too far from home, so they all just
decided to run the rest of the way. He said
it was crazy because the ball kept up with them
and was even getting closer. Eventually, everyone split up and
went their own ways home. He said he just kept
(02:41):
running and almost ran through the front door of their house.
Once inside, his mom asked him what had happened. When
he told her about what they had seen, she told
him mitter nuna ta la walpucci lawalpuci or witches from
old Mexican folklore. They are evampiric in nature, with infants
being their favorite victims. I have a friend who is
in old school Blancho. She told me that every year,
(03:04):
I think around December, the tla Wilpucci gather in Nunco
and Laxcalat and that they appear as balls of flames
gathered in a circle. So so the scariest witches. And
that's from Israel. Thank you for sending your story. Yes,
thank you so much for sending your story. And yeah,
those are the scariest type of bruhas. Okay, so yeah,
(03:30):
our topic metro stories. Why is elemetro so hunted? Don't know, Yeah,
but it is. That's what they say. We've done metro
train subway stories in the past and yeah, they're always
just so fun, so why not do some more. These
are only from Mexico, so just a little refresher about
(03:52):
the metro system in Mexico where our first few stories
are from. The train system in Mexico City is huge.
It serves one point billion passengers annually and it's the
tenth largest in the world, the second largest in North America,
(04:13):
right after New York City. That metro in Suda at
Mexico has been around since nineteen sixty nine, and it's
been through a lot since then. It survived the devastating
nineteen eighty five earthquake and then the devastating earthquakes that
have followed since then. Ghost Stories usually grow after tragic earthquakes,
but especially after nineteen eighty five. It has one hundred
(04:35):
and eighty five stations and twelve lines. Like any big
train system trporstation system, there's been very tragic incidents that
have only fueled ghost stories. And here are some of
them just very brief brief information on these. So on
the twentieth of October in nineteen seventy five, two trains
(04:57):
crashed in the via Ducto station while they were both
heading towards the Taskenya station. The first train was stopped
picking up passengers when the other one, I guess, didn't
stop in time and just went straight into the other
stopped train. And according to official reports, thirty one to
(05:18):
thirty nine people died and seventy one to one hundred
and nineteen were injured from this crash. And I guess,
I guess there was no like automatic signals. They were
manual signals to let other trains know someone was stopped
there when this happened, and after this crash happened, they
installed like automatic signals on all the lines. Another tragic
incident that happened in the see the Mexico train station system.
(05:45):
On September eighteenth, two thousand and nine, there was a
man who was vand aligning the walls of the Valderra
station with a marker before being confronted by a police officer.
The guy who was doing the vandalizing took out a
gun and killed the officer and a construction worker wow,
(06:06):
and then injured five others. And then on May four,
twenty fifteen, two trains were heading towards the Polytechnico station
on nine to five and they crashed. The first one
was leaving at Ragon station and then was requested to
stop and wait. The second train, I guess didn't notice
(06:27):
and crashed straight into the one that was stopped before,
and twelve people were injured. This time, luckily, no one
died on lots of crashes. Yeah. On March tenth, twenty twenty,
not that long ago, two trains were heading towards Upset
(06:48):
Vattorio station Online one and they crashed in the Takubaya station.
The first one was parked at the platform when it
was hit by another train that was coming in and reverse.
And in this crash, one person died and forty one
were injured, and it would have been more, but they
were able to get out the second car before the
(07:12):
crash occurred, like they were warned, and they were able
to evacuate that whole train car. In twenty twenty one,
the central control center that served lines one through six
caught fire somehow, I'm not sure what caused the fire,
and one police officer died during that fire. Then May
(07:35):
twenty twenty one, there was another crash on nine twelve.
Ooh no, this wasn't a crash. Sorry, something that was
supporting where the train passes, like an overpass collapsed. Oh wow,
And twenty six people died and seventy were injured. A
lot of debts, a lot of injuries. That's why they're
so haunted. Okay, and so story one, this story, you're
(08:01):
gonna be listening to it and you're gonna be like,
this isn't scary, but just wait, all right. So this
following story takes place on line three. Pedro felt lucky
to have found a job in Mexico City, working at UNAM,
the university. His schedule was not a strict nine to
(08:24):
five and there were a random start at end times,
so every day he made his commute at different hours
of the day. And during one of these commutes, it
was nine thirty in the morning and he was excited
because one of the cars it was pretty empty. There
were only like twelve people. Everyone had a sea, which
is rare, and so when he walked in, someone inside
(08:47):
the car caught his eye. This person was around forty
to forty five years old, super skinny, tall, very pale.
He was wearing a white suit too big for him.
It was light blue, and he was holding like an
old gray hat in his right hand. His hair was
neatly combed to the side. This person looked like he
(09:09):
was straight out of the nineteen fifties, like nineteen fifties Hollywood,
like the nineteen fifties Hollywood movie. Yeah, the person was
definitely alive. Well he didn't know. The man had a
very distinct smell death, no mothballs. The man was standing
(09:36):
on the left side of the cars where the doors
didn't open. That's where he stood, and for some reason
Bethro found himself entranced he watched him. The man never
made eye contact with anyone. He hardly moved. He was
almost it was almost robotic, like the way he didn't move.
But eventually the train did get crowded and Bethro lost
(09:57):
track of the man by the time he got to
his own stock and so this seemed like random, an
unimportant efforts. But a couple of weeks later, Bethro saw
the man again on his way to the general hospital.
He'd sorry his work had him doing shifts between the
General Hospital and the University. So he saw this man
again on his way to the General Hospital, and this
(10:22):
time it was almost seven pm and the man was
wearing the same exam clothes, almost like it was the
only setup clothes he had. Yeah, but this time he
was sitting in the same general area, but sitting not standing,
and he was acting the same, very cold, not making
eye contact with anyone, not moving. You know, people like
(10:42):
tend to check their phones or just scroll the whole
time you look around. Yeah, this man wasn't doing any
of that. And Betherro stared at him until he reached
his own exit and the man had still got moved
and he's like, this is so weird. And then for
the next six months, he kept seeing the map sometimes
once a week, and he was always wearing the same clothes,
(11:04):
he was in the same spot, everything was the same.
He noticed though over time that the man was never
there during peak busy hours. It was always like when
the train was kind of empty, and yeah, he never moved,
never made eye contact with anyone, and it was always
the same line line three. And like he even recalls
times where the train like something happened where there was
(11:25):
sudden stops and other people fell over, but this man
never like moved, He was unfazed. He never saw when
the man entered the train or left. He was just
always there, Like bell would get on and the man
would already be there. Another time, bell saw someone get
on the train and ask passengers for money, and this
(11:46):
person never asked the man. He just walked past him
like he didn't see him. And that's when Belther was like,
hmm something something. Yeah. There were times where he started
seeing the man like three four times a week, and
so he began to think he was going crazy because
he's like, am I don't even seeing this? He's like,
(12:07):
b are you seeing this? Are you? Are you? And
the last time Bellro saw the man, it was nine
thirty PM between Copilco and the Hospital General stations and
he got onto the middle car and there was the man,
and Bellro sat away from him. He's like, I don't
(12:27):
want to say anywhere near him, and so he chose
to seat next to a woman and he began to
chat with her with the intention to ask her if
she if she was seeing the man too. He's like,
I need to know, and so they were just chatting
for a while and then he asked the woman if
she knew about any theater companies or if there was
like any plays set in the nineteen fifties right now,
(12:50):
and she's like, no, why are you asking me this?
And so he was. He told her about the man
that he had been seeing for months now and how
he seemed to not be of this time. He looked
like he would be picked up in place in a
nineteen fifties movie. This man never moved, and when he
was telling her all this, her eyes got super big
and she told him, yes, the man that looks like
(13:12):
he's straight out of a bedroom in front the movie
it's weird, yes, and Bedro felt chills. He's like, oh
my god, someone else saw him, and he's like, doesn't
seem like he's not like actually here, like and then
they ballterned and they're they're O, the man was. He
was there the whole time. So they looked at him
again and then she was like, it's so strange because
(13:33):
it's like he doesn't end like fondo and she he
was like, oh, yeah, I know what you mean. He
seems two dimensional almost like not real, And they were
just both like freaking themselves out talking about the man.
And then like the man was still there and again unfazed,
and so then the woman was like, I was gonna
stop somewhere else, like my soop was not this next one.
(13:56):
But I'm gonna get off the train with you because
I'm not gonna be on here. It's too creepy with
this man. Yeah, And it was so strange because it
felt like as soon as they started talking to each
other about the man, the train seemed to be going
slower than normal, like time was slowing down, and so
now they were extra scared, and he's like, yeah, yeah,
(14:17):
no worries, hang out at my job with me. I
don't even care, Like you're not staying on this train
by yourself, And so the trains from when they started
having that conversation to their next job felt endless. And
finally the train stopped, and before they got up to
actually walk out of the train for the first time,
(14:41):
Pedro saw the man move to look at him, and
the man smiled, Oh no, why is he smiling, and
they booked it. Yeah, no, he's like, I'm not finding
this out. He ran out and although his yeah, his
work and like ended, the situation ended up, and so
he never had to like Arride at that time again,
(15:03):
so he didn't see him again. But yeah, I'm so
medicine that he just slowly turned very menacing. No, I
can't do a medicine smile. No, anyway, do you want
to restore it too? Yes. This next story also took
(15:28):
place on nine three, this time to Anna. On this day,
she ended up getting out of work super late. She
could have left earlier, but there was a pizza party
and pizza was her fair food, so understandable. I yeah,
I get it. She ended up leaving work around eleven PM,
and none of her coworkers were driving in the same
direction as her place, so she ended up having to
(15:49):
take the metro, something she hardly ever did, especially by
herself and this late, but she had no choice, so
she walked over to Essasion, Ethiopia, heading toward Indios Verdes.
It was super empty when she got there. As she
waited for the metro to arrive, she stood in the
direction of the tunnels. As she stood there, staring and waiting,
(16:10):
she saw a man come out of set tunnel. A
tunnel man. Yeah, the tunnel man. He was skinny in
a suit and a hat, the hat man. She found
it super weird. Why was he coming out of a tunnel? Why? Why? No?
(16:32):
Wh Then the man stopped walking, looked at her, waved,
and turned back around back into the tunnel. Excuse me, no,
I was sad, No me gagoing memo. No. Yeah. She
stood there, frozen in fear, staring as he disappeared into
(16:53):
the darkness. Then the sound of the metro arriving scared her.
She ran inside, happy to be leaving the station, but
when she turned to look for a seat, she saw
him again, the same man from the tunnel. What was
he doing inside? I would even get inside. She didn't
see him go inside. I don't like it. She stood
(17:15):
there again, frozen in fear. When the metro arrived at
its next stop, she got out to wait for the
next one, hoping to not see the man again. But
imagine if she did. If she had, she probably jumped.
Mm hmmmm. I'm sorry, but I would have jumped onto
the drink tracks become the next ghost oparation. Mm hmmm. Okay,
(17:41):
story three, And I know this One time we said
metro this is metro adjacent because this is Hero. Yes,
a Hero is a light rail system that serves APO,
Packet and well a Lahara. It's the most used light
(18:03):
rail system in North America. It technically lines one and
two are the light rails, and then line three, the
newest one, is rapid transit, which some people, some people,
someone's gonna listen to them, be like, actually, you're wrong.
So the transit nerds out there, Yeah, I know, Yeah,
it exists. I respect it. So that's why I'm like,
I know, Line three is a rapid transit. So between
(18:28):
those three lines there's forty eight stations, and there's stories
about all of these stations. But for some reason, especially
Line three, we went on one of these. I wonder
which one it was. We did a peripherico a lot
for some reason. Why where were we going? Where were
we going that we got onto? Well I don't remember
(18:50):
where we went me neither. There's one that we take
the most because it goes somewhere that we go a lot,
and I'm like, where is it? Es Central? I guess
it's not. We're not gonna remember. Let's move past this
anyway we have used this, Yes, it's gonna bother me. Bone.
We didn't see any ghosts though, thankfully, thankfully, knock on wood.
(19:13):
So the of the line three stations or stop. Some
of them intersect, like sometimes you get off at one
station and it's a stop for both line two and
nine three. So the worst stations seem to be Santoirrio,
Normal and Central stations. And all of these, all of
these are like in the middle of like the routes
(19:34):
one after the other. So this next one is just
like little it's not a full story, just like little
experiences here and there. So Eric Samura was a supervisor
at several different stations. He started around twenty eighteen. At
the moment he set foot in the Santuario station, he
felt that it was like heavy and suffocating just being there.
(19:58):
And he would go from say ten station, but that's
the one that he was like, oh, I don't like
how this feels. Something is very wrong here. Yes, And
so to get from station to station, he would go
through the service tunnels. Not like a normal person writing
this trainstation. He would use like you know, these special tunnels.
And so he would walk through these tunnels hoping to
(20:22):
see something, like to have a paranormal experience. And well
he got what he what he wanted. As he walked,
he could hear footsteps behind him. But when he turned around,
there was nothing there. At times he would hear screaming
behind him, and again when he turned around, nothing, no one,
(20:45):
just him and the dark in the dark with his flashlight.
But the worst time is when he was walking and
he felt like someone pulled his shirt and again he
turned around and no one was there at the time.
When he was working there and he was going from
tunnel to tunnel, there was no proper lighting, like the
only light was just the flashlight. Yeah, And to him,
(21:09):
the screaming and steps were like, all right, that's not
that bad. But when his shirt was pulled, he's like, yeah,
I'm not walking through these tunnels by myself. That was
where he drew the line. And so story four is
still about aldren Lihroa, the lost station of aln li Hero.
(21:31):
So after a full day of classes, Edica went to
a friend's house to work on an assignment and it
was pretty late when they were done, so she's like, oh,
I got to get home. So she got online three
on Plasa Patria, and then she transferred to line two
at El Centro, which would take her all the way
to San Jacinto, which was the stop closest to her house.
(21:53):
So when she got on, she noticed that the car
was empty, which was weird because even as late as
it was, people were still getting out of work at
this hour. Never a good sign. No, when it's empty,
turn around, wait for the next one. She didn't think
much of it, and because she had had a full,
long ass day of studying, she was tired and she
(22:14):
fell asleep, something she never ever does. When she woke up,
she realized that she was still on the train, but
it has stopped and no one else was inside. So
she looked around and wherever she was this news station
it looked like it was under construction, like it wasn't
done being built. And she's like, mm, this is weird,
(22:37):
and she started to feel bad vibes, so she quickly
exited the train onto the platform. When she walked onto
the platform, she noticed the train driver. The train driver
was a few steps away, sitting there eating and scrolling,
and he yelled when he saw her because he thought
he was alone. And he composed himself and he's like, uh,
(23:01):
we're at la Estacion Barque Solidaridan, which was half built
but then for some reason that he didn't know, abandoned
before it could be completed. And this was supposed to
be the last stop for lying to for whatever reason,
it was just never completed and not used for the
(23:23):
last like stop. And whatever the reason was, he knew
it wasn't like the lack of funds, because the money
was there, according to this train driver, but it was incomplete.
It was like so incomplete. It didn't have exits other
than the one like this one tunnel, but no like
proper exits where you walk up the stairs onto the street.
(23:43):
And so as he finished telling her this, they heard
something falling like inside the tunnel, and at first she
thought nothing of it because she was like, well, if
this was not complete, it's probably just like I don't know,
tiles like falling somewhere, like I don't know, okay, right,
you know, try to explain it away as one does, right.
But the noise kept going until they got louder and louder,
(24:07):
and then it wasn't just the sound of things falling
again and again. Now they heard footsteps, and his footsteps
sounded like they were on the platform running towards them.
So suddenly the footsteps stopped, but then the lights around
them started to flicker until they just turned off. But
(24:27):
the lights inside the train were so on. So they
looked at each other and they ran inside the train
and they booked it. And when they got inside the
train Edica saw that someone was already sitting in the train.
Oh oh, in the back the last car. And she
told the driver, Hey, there's someone else here, and he's like, no,
(24:49):
there's not. And she's like, yes, there is. There's someone
right there, sitting right there, pointing where this person was sitting.
And he's like, there's no one there. You know what,
I'm gonna approve to you, No one is sitting there.
He grabbed his phone a picture. He's like, there so
you can see that no one is there, and then,
like straight out of a movie, they both looked at
the phone at the same time and there was a
shadow in the picture. Oh my god. Yeah, and so
(25:10):
then they screamed. He ran over to I don't know,
the little driver's area, like whatever the fuck it's called.
He said, s shit, yeah, and so he's like we're
going then, you know, he started he pulled out into
the little tunnel. So as the train left, she noticed like,
this is some weird, obscure hidden tunnel that I have
never seen before. And then this tunnel connected them into
(25:32):
like the normal Line two tunnel, and now she's like,
it's eleven PM and the person that was sitting there
is not there anymore. Then never, they didn't stop anywhere
in between. No, they didn't, they were just that person
was just gone. Yes. Yes. Then the train stopped at
(25:52):
Tetlan and she booked at home. She's like, this is
every might stop. I'm just going home from here. I
don't even care. The next day, yeah, she and she did.
The next day she was at school at university and
she told her friends what happened, and no one believes her.
And now every time she goes to that land station
(26:12):
that she's passing through, she goes in to see if
she can find this head in tunnel that they came
out of onto the normal line to like track or whatever.
And she has not been able to find this tunnel.
Oh wow. And she has also made sure to never
ride that late again. I mean, that's such the weirdest
(26:36):
one out of the bunch. I think, Yeah, I don't
like it. I don't know. And yeah, those are just
some metro stories. Again, short episode because we are on
ketchup mode still, So before we go, do you have
(26:59):
any speaks recommendations. I'm sure you do, but I don't
think I've been writing them down. Nope. Oh wow, okay, sorry.
Did we talk about back as soon as that trod
went and two already? I think we did? Did we?
I thought we talked about it, Lisbin. I think we
talked about all of them. Why would I recommend every
(27:19):
single one in one episode? That's crazy. I don't know
what's wrong with me. I kind of I remember talking
about all the movies we watched. Oh I okay, I
see your recommend it if you want. Well, no, now
I don't know if I if I did or didn't. Okay, Well,
I've been in while Carmen's searching for her speaking recommendation,
I will give mine. I have been in my Latine
(27:45):
horror movie watching Era. Oh you know why, I think
we talked about it, because didn't we talk about it
in the Spanish episode? Oh? We did? We did? I'm
pretty sure we did. Okay, Well, just in case anyone
didn't listen to the Spanish episode, yep, and it's a
capito capitol And then we talked about Frankenstein, so I
(28:09):
knew it. I told you. Oh yeah, you're right, you're right, yes, yes, yeah,
it looks like we already talked about it in the
Spanish episode, but now on Englisian but yes, now in English.
On while Cramet and Milman were visiting me, we watched
a bunch of movies. We watched les Pinaso Diablo, The
Devil's Backbone by g We watched one and two with
(28:34):
Po Fernandez and the second one is Tatiana in it.
So yeah, it's a stacked cast them too. No, I mean,
I'm sure there's other famous actors. They're just the most
famous ones that I knew. And then what was the
other one we watched, which we did a whole thing
(28:54):
on Patreon about. But yeah, these are all very fun
horror movies. They are all well, I'm not Espinaza Espiana
was like a one time, heavy, beautiful watch that I'm
not gonna rewatch. Really, I don't think so well, it's
like it's just like a sad like everyone sorry spoilers
(29:15):
if you have nothing that that was backbone. It was
a little what's that word, it's tragic? Yeah, Like, yeah,
even the hopeful ending is not that hopeful because like,
what chance do these kids have They had to walk
so far to get to the town. It's only a day,
did you make it? It's only a day. They're all
(29:37):
children and they're injured. They're gonna take care of each other.
You do anything together. You're right, You're right. I just
they're fighters. They are fighters. But everyone they knew and
loved and cared for, who cared for them is dead.
But they have each other. But they have but they
have each other. It just felt like, yeah, really grim
(29:58):
and heavy, but it is. It is a are a
good movie, but I don't think it will be one
that I rewatch or revisit. No, no, I say what
you mean, it's not like a fun rewatch or it's
not a fun horror movie. No, because it was beautifully told,
though I thought it was of course. I mean, it's
everything he does is beautifully told. So yeah, we watched that.
Then we also watched those are just fun. This feels
(30:21):
like the first, like Mexican Slasher almost. I'm sure there
was more before, No there, Well, yeah, I just don't
know them. Yeah, well, specifically the second one, because so
many people die in the second one. I feel like
the first one. Oh yeah, I was surprised because the
first one and no one really died. No one died. No,
you thought they were going today would come back, They
(30:42):
would come back, yes exactly. They were like, oh, this
is not slasher enough. Let's make it worse. They were like,
we have to step up our game here, we have
to ramp up the consequences. Yeah. And so yeah, it's
like the first one. Do they even get the doll?
I don't know. There's this doll for some fucking reason,
(31:05):
this little girl Gabby. Oh, they buy a house and
the doll was inside this fucking creepy ass like tunnel. Yeah.
They not a tunnel like a like a base. It
was a well, a well. Sorry, well it's because wells
like or usually one hole. But this kept going, didn't
I did. It was weird. Yeah, So it was like
(31:25):
a well. They went down, they fell inside it. Yeah,
they fell inside of this well, and then this well
kept going and inside the well there was like the
room things that you just shouldn't touch. Yeah, and she
touched it. Yeah. The doll was calling to her though, Yeah,
you mean it was. And honestly, as the like adult
(31:46):
in the situation, they should have been like, put that
doll back, what are you doing? Yeah? But no, they
later keep it all and this doll, this doll like
once everyone to die, especially better if Oh she hates
she hates him, she hates him so much she came
back on the second movie to try and kill him.
(32:09):
But in the second movie, he has he's this badass
trench code lesson. He knows about these kind of things.
That's like he asked the first movie he decaded dedicated
his life to, like the secrets. Yeah, yeah, he's carrying
the trench coin all yes, yeah, sunglasses everything, a mullet
(32:30):
and I think, yeah, no, yes, no glasses that night.
But yeah, the second movie takes a very different turn
from the first one, but they're both very fun. And
this isn't like you're not watching this and you're like
this is a masterpiece. No, this is a fun little
horror movie. Yes, very fun though. So yeah, I highly
recommend back as soon as a third one and two.
(32:51):
And then what's the other one? I said, oh, you're
gonna recommend themala one? Well, yeah, because we already mentioned
them all in the Spanish ship that's true. Yeah, and
then we did do a full recap on Patreon for
this movie. Fun. It's a it's another fun creepy movie.
(33:13):
Did you know that for the marketing of Kilo, they
had people like the little Creepy Boy ghost Boy. They
had them sitting like in different places in Mexico City,
just sitting there. The imagine if it was on comer
there when people would actually die. They didn't do that
on purpose, like that would have been a nightmare. No,
(33:34):
it was like where people would have were walking because
imagine if they actually did. Yeah, yeah, that's still so scary.
Oh no it is yeah no, so yeah, that's horrifying.
I'll try to find a clip of that to put
it in here when I'm talking about it. I would
love to see that. Yeah there is. I've seen clips
of it and it is so creepy looking. But that's
(33:54):
how they marketed this movie. And this is one of
the better Yoana movies out there because when you and
we have, all we have is the Curse of Yourna,
the one that is set in La. That show is
funny with the white social worker. Well, I mean like
it's funny in the sense of like bad funny, not
good funny to me. I The reason I like it
(34:16):
is because I root for when I watch it. Oh okay,
so yeah, and if you look at it that way,
it's hilarious. If you're on the side of like Roona
for the Crystalona, then it's a good movie. Yes, get
those little white kids a bad taking their kids to
work where they can see traumatic as ship. No, yeah,
that's it, that's not good. Yeah. So yeah, I think
(34:40):
if you want a good Yurana movie, but also that's
not like very dark and heavy and a slow burn
like Heiro Bustamentez Urana, then you know, is like the
other better Urana movie where it's yeah, it's a again,
just a fun horror movie. Some of the acting is
(35:01):
a little You're like, why are they doing these things?
You mean the story, the plot line? The story, sorry,
the plot line. Yeah, you're like, why are they doing
these things? Also the acting or what? Also the acting,
I think all mad is a little I don't know, No,
I guess they were all fine. I didn't think it
was too bad of the acting. The wig though, the
wig was Ah, the wig was bad. They should have yeah,
(35:24):
figure something else out. That was a bad wig. Yeah.
But this movie essentially follows two twin sisters. It's the
same actress doing both. One of them gets in a
tragic accident and basically don't want the bad wig. Yeah.
In between that the twin sister that is not in
the accident, she's trying to figure out what's going on
(35:44):
with their sister. And in between that there's a creepy
little boy and you know, it's a lot of fun
so on a creepy haunted road, which is quil Yeah,
those are my speaker recognitions. I I have a audiobook recommendation.
Actually it might be better reading it just because of
(36:05):
the accent, so European accent. I have trouble listening too
in my regular time speed and have to slow it down.
But I listened to Starving Saints. It's like a medieval
horror horror. Oh. I started listening to that, and I
also had a hard time understanding and so I am
going to read it instead, but I haven't. Yeah, it
(36:26):
was interesting. It was weird, very weird, a little lesbian,
a little cannibalistic, oh my god, lesban cannibalistic. Okay, yeah, oh,
and like a little bit like a religious horror type
thing too. Oh yeah, yeah, it was interesting. Apphic religious horror.
I love it. Yeah. Yeah, and cannibal Oh my god,
(36:48):
this almost sounds like it could be the don't worthy. Yeah,
you know what. I think that's why I liked a
lot because it reminded me. It was like the medieval
white version of the unworthy. Fascinating. Yeah, it's like so.
And also I remember you mentioning you liked like a
setting where they're trapped somewhere. I do love a setting
(37:09):
when someone is trapped because they are trapped in the castle.
Perfect you like it? No, it was. It was a
good time. Okay, all right, shall we understand? Yeah, have
we reached the end of the episode. We have? Okay.
The lesson after this episode is to not get on Quero,
(37:31):
the uh metro in that Mexico, that Mexico late at
night and late at night. Yeah, I don't know about
like the subway or like the right light rail or
bart Maybe those are fine. Maybe maybe it's just Mexico.
I don't know, but not after eleven pm. Okay, all right,

minutes about our lives. Some people don't like that, some

And for the topic today, I just found some creepy
metro stories. There are some of my favorites to share.
So I love a metro story me too. But before that,

this story? I'm ready? All right? Listener story. So my
(01:13):
dad grew up a noon rancho in Aguascalientes, Mitrakan. He
would always tell me stories of the things he and
his friend would do. Apparently they like to go to
other ranchos for parties and sometimes to visit the ladies
they had crushes on. Well. He told me that one
night he and his friend were walking back at night
from one of these parties. But it wasn't like when
you walk around at night in the city with sidewalks
(01:35):
and street lights. They were not at campo, using pathways
to get through the various landscapes, using only the light
of the moon to get around. Honestly traumatic, yeah, until
something happens. And yes, something that happened. One night, as
they were returning to their rancho, as they had done
multiple times, they saw a red ball of fire floating
(01:57):
in the distance. He said. Now, when they saw it,
they all hid behind whatever they could find. They didn't
want to draw attention to themselves. They watched the ball
of fire for only a few seconds because they knew
they had to get away from it, so they slowly
circled around it, trying to be as quiet as possible.
When they finally got around it, they continued on their
way back home. A few minutes later, one of his
(02:20):
friends decided to look back for whatever reason, and that's
when they noticed that it was following them. At this point,
they were too far from home, so they all just
decided to run the rest of the way. He said
it was crazy because the ball kept up with them
and was even getting closer. Eventually, everyone split up and
went their own ways home. He said he just kept
(02:41):
running and almost ran through the front door of their house.
Once inside, his mom asked him what had happened. When
he told her about what they had seen, she told
him mitter nuna ta la walpucci lawalpuci or witches from
old Mexican folklore. They are evampiric in nature, with infants
being their favorite victims. I have a friend who is
in old school Blancho. She told me that every year,
(03:04):
I think around December, the tla Wilpucci gather in Nunco
and Laxcalat and that they appear as balls of flames
gathered in a circle. So so the scariest witches. And
that's from Israel. Thank you for sending your story. Yes,
thank you so much for sending your story. And yeah,
those are the scariest type of bruhas. Okay, so yeah,
(03:30):
our topic metro stories. Why is elemetro so hunted? Don't know, Yeah,
but it is. That's what they say. We've done metro
train subway stories in the past and yeah, they're always
just so fun, so why not do some more. These
are only from Mexico, so just a little refresher about
(03:52):
the metro system in Mexico where our first few stories
are from. The train system in Mexico City is huge.
It serves one point billion passengers annually and it's the
tenth largest in the world, the second largest in North America,
(04:13):
right after New York City. That metro in Suda at
Mexico has been around since nineteen sixty nine, and it's
been through a lot since then. It survived the devastating
nineteen eighty five earthquake and then the devastating earthquakes that
have followed since then. Ghost Stories usually grow after tragic earthquakes,
but especially after nineteen eighty five. It has one hundred
(04:35):
and eighty five stations and twelve lines. Like any big
train system trporstation system, there's been very tragic incidents that
have only fueled ghost stories. And here are some of
them just very brief brief information on these. So on
the twentieth of October in nineteen seventy five, two trains
(04:57):
crashed in the via Ducto station while they were both
heading towards the Taskenya station. The first train was stopped
picking up passengers when the other one, I guess, didn't
stop in time and just went straight into the other
stopped train. And according to official reports, thirty one to
(05:18):
thirty nine people died and seventy one to one hundred
and nineteen were injured from this crash. And I guess,
I guess there was no like automatic signals. They were
manual signals to let other trains know someone was stopped
there when this happened, and after this crash happened, they
installed like automatic signals on all the lines. Another tragic
incident that happened in the see the Mexico train station system.
(05:45):
On September eighteenth, two thousand and nine, there was a
man who was vand aligning the walls of the Valderra
station with a marker before being confronted by a police officer.
The guy who was doing the vandalizing took out a
gun and killed the officer and a construction worker wow,
(06:06):
and then injured five others. And then on May four,
twenty fifteen, two trains were heading towards the Polytechnico station
on nine to five and they crashed. The first one
was leaving at Ragon station and then was requested to
stop and wait. The second train, I guess didn't notice
(06:27):
and crashed straight into the one that was stopped before,
and twelve people were injured. This time, luckily, no one
died on lots of crashes. Yeah. On March tenth, twenty twenty,
not that long ago, two trains were heading towards Upset
(06:48):
Vattorio station Online one and they crashed in the Takubaya station.
The first one was parked at the platform when it
was hit by another train that was coming in and reverse.
And in this crash, one person died and forty one
were injured, and it would have been more, but they
were able to get out the second car before the
(07:12):
crash occurred, like they were warned, and they were able
to evacuate that whole train car. In twenty twenty one,
the central control center that served lines one through six
caught fire somehow, I'm not sure what caused the fire,
and one police officer died during that fire. Then May
(07:35):
twenty twenty one, there was another crash on nine twelve.
Ooh no, this wasn't a crash. Sorry, something that was
supporting where the train passes, like an overpass collapsed. Oh wow,
And twenty six people died and seventy were injured. A
lot of debts, a lot of injuries. That's why they're
so haunted. Okay, and so story one, this story, you're
(08:01):
gonna be listening to it and you're gonna be like,
this isn't scary, but just wait, all right. So this
following story takes place on line three. Pedro felt lucky
to have found a job in Mexico City, working at UNAM,
the university. His schedule was not a strict nine to
(08:24):
five and there were a random start at end times,
so every day he made his commute at different hours
of the day. And during one of these commutes, it
was nine thirty in the morning and he was excited
because one of the cars it was pretty empty. There
were only like twelve people. Everyone had a sea, which
is rare, and so when he walked in, someone inside
(08:47):
the car caught his eye. This person was around forty
to forty five years old, super skinny, tall, very pale.
He was wearing a white suit too big for him.
It was light blue, and he was holding like an
old gray hat in his right hand. His hair was
neatly combed to the side. This person looked like he
(09:09):
was straight out of the nineteen fifties, like nineteen fifties Hollywood,
like the nineteen fifties Hollywood movie. Yeah, the person was
definitely alive. Well he didn't know. The man had a
very distinct smell death, no mothballs. The man was standing
(09:36):
on the left side of the cars where the doors
didn't open. That's where he stood, and for some reason
Bethro found himself entranced he watched him. The man never
made eye contact with anyone. He hardly moved. He was
almost it was almost robotic, like the way he didn't move.
But eventually the train did get crowded and Bethro lost
(09:57):
track of the man by the time he got to
his own stock and so this seemed like random, an
unimportant efforts. But a couple of weeks later, Bethro saw
the man again on his way to the general hospital.
He'd sorry his work had him doing shifts between the
General Hospital and the University. So he saw this man
again on his way to the General Hospital, and this
(10:22):
time it was almost seven pm and the man was
wearing the same exam clothes, almost like it was the
only setup clothes he had. Yeah, but this time he
was sitting in the same general area, but sitting not standing,
and he was acting the same, very cold, not making
eye contact with anyone, not moving. You know, people like
(10:42):
tend to check their phones or just scroll the whole
time you look around. Yeah, this man wasn't doing any
of that. And Betherro stared at him until he reached
his own exit and the man had still got moved
and he's like, this is so weird. And then for
the next six months, he kept seeing the map sometimes
once a week, and he was always wearing the same clothes,
(11:04):
he was in the same spot, everything was the same.
He noticed though over time that the man was never
there during peak busy hours. It was always like when
the train was kind of empty, and yeah, he never moved,
never made eye contact with anyone, and it was always
the same line line three. And like he even recalls
times where the train like something happened where there was
(11:25):
sudden stops and other people fell over, but this man
never like moved, He was unfazed. He never saw when
the man entered the train or left. He was just
always there, Like bell would get on and the man
would already be there. Another time, bell saw someone get
on the train and ask passengers for money, and this
(11:46):
person never asked the man. He just walked past him
like he didn't see him. And that's when Belther was like,
hmm something something. Yeah. There were times where he started
seeing the man like three four times a week, and
so he began to think he was going crazy because
he's like, am I don't even seeing this? He's like,
(12:07):
b are you seeing this? Are you? Are you? And
the last time Bellro saw the man, it was nine
thirty PM between Copilco and the Hospital General stations and
he got onto the middle car and there was the man,
and Bellro sat away from him. He's like, I don't
(12:27):
want to say anywhere near him, and so he chose
to seat next to a woman and he began to
chat with her with the intention to ask her if
she if she was seeing the man too. He's like,
I need to know, and so they were just chatting
for a while and then he asked the woman if
she knew about any theater companies or if there was
like any plays set in the nineteen fifties right now,
(12:50):
and she's like, no, why are you asking me this?
And so he was. He told her about the man
that he had been seeing for months now and how
he seemed to not be of this time. He looked
like he would be picked up in place in a
nineteen fifties movie. This man never moved, and when he
was telling her all this, her eyes got super big
and she told him, yes, the man that looks like
(13:12):
he's straight out of a bedroom in front the movie
it's weird, yes, and Bedro felt chills. He's like, oh
my god, someone else saw him, and he's like, doesn't
seem like he's not like actually here, like and then
they ballterned and they're they're O, the man was. He
was there the whole time. So they looked at him
again and then she was like, it's so strange because
(13:33):
it's like he doesn't end like fondo and she he
was like, oh, yeah, I know what you mean. He
seems two dimensional almost like not real, And they were
just both like freaking themselves out talking about the man.
And then like the man was still there and again unfazed,
and so then the woman was like, I was gonna
stop somewhere else, like my soop was not this next one.
(13:56):
But I'm gonna get off the train with you because
I'm not gonna be on here. It's too creepy with
this man. Yeah, And it was so strange because it
felt like as soon as they started talking to each
other about the man, the train seemed to be going
slower than normal, like time was slowing down, and so
now they were extra scared, and he's like, yeah, yeah,
(14:17):
no worries, hang out at my job with me. I
don't even care, Like you're not staying on this train
by yourself, And so the trains from when they started
having that conversation to their next job felt endless. And
finally the train stopped, and before they got up to
actually walk out of the train for the first time,
(14:41):
Pedro saw the man move to look at him, and
the man smiled, Oh no, why is he smiling, and
they booked it. Yeah, no, he's like, I'm not finding
this out. He ran out and although his yeah, his
work and like ended, the situation ended up, and so
he never had to like Arride at that time again,
(15:03):
so he didn't see him again. But yeah, I'm so
medicine that he just slowly turned very menacing. No, I
can't do a medicine smile. No, anyway, do you want
to restore it too? Yes. This next story also took
(15:28):
place on nine three, this time to Anna. On this day,
she ended up getting out of work super late. She
could have left earlier, but there was a pizza party
and pizza was her fair food, so understandable. I yeah,
I get it. She ended up leaving work around eleven PM,
and none of her coworkers were driving in the same
direction as her place, so she ended up having to
(15:49):
take the metro, something she hardly ever did, especially by
herself and this late, but she had no choice, so
she walked over to Essasion, Ethiopia, heading toward Indios Verdes.
It was super empty when she got there. As she
waited for the metro to arrive, she stood in the
direction of the tunnels. As she stood there, staring and waiting,
(16:10):
she saw a man come out of set tunnel. A
tunnel man. Yeah, the tunnel man. He was skinny in
a suit and a hat, the hat man. She found
it super weird. Why was he coming out of a tunnel? Why? Why? No?
(16:32):
Wh Then the man stopped walking, looked at her, waved,
and turned back around back into the tunnel. Excuse me, no,
I was sad, No me gagoing memo. No. Yeah. She
stood there, frozen in fear, staring as he disappeared into
(16:53):
the darkness. Then the sound of the metro arriving scared her.
She ran inside, happy to be leaving the station, but
when she turned to look for a seat, she saw
him again, the same man from the tunnel. What was
he doing inside? I would even get inside. She didn't
see him go inside. I don't like it. She stood
(17:15):
there again, frozen in fear. When the metro arrived at
its next stop, she got out to wait for the
next one, hoping to not see the man again. But
imagine if she did. If she had, she probably jumped.
Mm hmmmm. I'm sorry, but I would have jumped onto
the drink tracks become the next ghost oparation. Mm hmmm. Okay,
(17:41):
story three, And I know this One time we said
metro this is metro adjacent because this is Hero. Yes,
a Hero is a light rail system that serves APO,
Packet and well a Lahara. It's the most used light
(18:03):
rail system in North America. It technically lines one and
two are the light rails, and then line three, the
newest one, is rapid transit, which some people, some people,
someone's gonna listen to them, be like, actually, you're wrong.
So the transit nerds out there, Yeah, I know, Yeah,
it exists. I respect it. So that's why I'm like,
I know, Line three is a rapid transit. So between
(18:28):
those three lines there's forty eight stations, and there's stories
about all of these stations. But for some reason, especially
Line three, we went on one of these. I wonder
which one it was. We did a peripherico a lot
for some reason. Why where were we going? Where were
we going that we got onto? Well I don't remember
(18:50):
where we went me neither. There's one that we take
the most because it goes somewhere that we go a lot,
and I'm like, where is it? Es Central? I guess
it's not. We're not gonna remember. Let's move past this
anyway we have used this, Yes, it's gonna bother me. Bone.
We didn't see any ghosts though, thankfully, thankfully, knock on wood.
(19:13):
So the of the line three stations or stop. Some
of them intersect, like sometimes you get off at one
station and it's a stop for both line two and
nine three. So the worst stations seem to be Santoirrio,
Normal and Central stations. And all of these, all of
these are like in the middle of like the routes
(19:34):
one after the other. So this next one is just
like little it's not a full story, just like little
experiences here and there. So Eric Samura was a supervisor
at several different stations. He started around twenty eighteen. At
the moment he set foot in the Santuario station, he
felt that it was like heavy and suffocating just being there.
(19:58):
And he would go from say ten station, but that's
the one that he was like, oh, I don't like
how this feels. Something is very wrong here. Yes, And
so to get from station to station, he would go
through the service tunnels. Not like a normal person writing
this trainstation. He would use like you know, these special tunnels.
And so he would walk through these tunnels hoping to
(20:22):
see something, like to have a paranormal experience. And well
he got what he what he wanted. As he walked,
he could hear footsteps behind him. But when he turned around,
there was nothing there. At times he would hear screaming
behind him, and again when he turned around, nothing, no one,
(20:45):
just him and the dark in the dark with his flashlight.
But the worst time is when he was walking and
he felt like someone pulled his shirt and again he
turned around and no one was there at the time.
When he was working there and he was going from
tunnel to tunnel, there was no proper lighting, like the
only light was just the flashlight. Yeah, And to him,
(21:09):
the screaming and steps were like, all right, that's not
that bad. But when his shirt was pulled, he's like, yeah,
I'm not walking through these tunnels by myself. That was
where he drew the line. And so story four is
still about aldren Lihroa, the lost station of aln li Hero.
(21:31):
So after a full day of classes, Edica went to
a friend's house to work on an assignment and it
was pretty late when they were done, so she's like, oh,
I got to get home. So she got online three
on Plasa Patria, and then she transferred to line two
at El Centro, which would take her all the way
to San Jacinto, which was the stop closest to her house.
(21:53):
So when she got on, she noticed that the car
was empty, which was weird because even as late as
it was, people were still getting out of work at
this hour. Never a good sign. No, when it's empty,
turn around, wait for the next one. She didn't think
much of it, and because she had had a full,
long ass day of studying, she was tired and she
(22:14):
fell asleep, something she never ever does. When she woke up,
she realized that she was still on the train, but
it has stopped and no one else was inside. So
she looked around and wherever she was this news station
it looked like it was under construction, like it wasn't
done being built. And she's like, mm, this is weird,
(22:37):
and she started to feel bad vibes, so she quickly
exited the train onto the platform. When she walked onto
the platform, she noticed the train driver. The train driver
was a few steps away, sitting there eating and scrolling,
and he yelled when he saw her because he thought
he was alone. And he composed himself and he's like, uh,
(23:01):
we're at la Estacion Barque Solidaridan, which was half built
but then for some reason that he didn't know, abandoned
before it could be completed. And this was supposed to
be the last stop for lying to for whatever reason,
it was just never completed and not used for the
(23:23):
last like stop. And whatever the reason was, he knew
it wasn't like the lack of funds, because the money
was there, according to this train driver, but it was incomplete.
It was like so incomplete. It didn't have exits other
than the one like this one tunnel, but no like
proper exits where you walk up the stairs onto the street.
(23:43):
And so as he finished telling her this, they heard
something falling like inside the tunnel, and at first she
thought nothing of it because she was like, well, if
this was not complete, it's probably just like I don't know,
tiles like falling somewhere, like I don't know, okay, right,
you know, try to explain it away as one does, right.
But the noise kept going until they got louder and louder,
(24:07):
and then it wasn't just the sound of things falling
again and again. Now they heard footsteps, and his footsteps
sounded like they were on the platform running towards them.
So suddenly the footsteps stopped, but then the lights around
them started to flicker until they just turned off. But
(24:27):
the lights inside the train were so on. So they
looked at each other and they ran inside the train
and they booked it. And when they got inside the
train Edica saw that someone was already sitting in the train.
Oh oh, in the back the last car. And she
told the driver, Hey, there's someone else here, and he's like, no,
(24:49):
there's not. And she's like, yes, there is. There's someone
right there, sitting right there, pointing where this person was sitting.
And he's like, there's no one there. You know what,
I'm gonna approve to you, No one is sitting there.
He grabbed his phone a picture. He's like, there so
you can see that no one is there, and then,
like straight out of a movie, they both looked at
the phone at the same time and there was a
shadow in the picture. Oh my god. Yeah, and so
(25:10):
then they screamed. He ran over to I don't know,
the little driver's area, like whatever the fuck it's called.
He said, s shit, yeah, and so he's like we're
going then, you know, he started he pulled out into
the little tunnel. So as the train left, she noticed like,
this is some weird, obscure hidden tunnel that I have
never seen before. And then this tunnel connected them into
(25:32):
like the normal Line two tunnel, and now she's like,
it's eleven PM and the person that was sitting there
is not there anymore. Then never, they didn't stop anywhere
in between. No, they didn't, they were just that person
was just gone. Yes. Yes. Then the train stopped at
(25:52):
Tetlan and she booked at home. She's like, this is
every might stop. I'm just going home from here. I
don't even care. The next day, yeah, she and she did.
The next day she was at school at university and
she told her friends what happened, and no one believes her.
And now every time she goes to that land station
(26:12):
that she's passing through, she goes in to see if
she can find this head in tunnel that they came
out of onto the normal line to like track or whatever.
And she has not been able to find this tunnel.
Oh wow. And she has also made sure to never
ride that late again. I mean, that's such the weirdest
(26:36):
one out of the bunch. I think, Yeah, I don't
like it. I don't know. And yeah, those are just
some metro stories. Again, short episode because we are on
ketchup mode still, So before we go, do you have
(26:59):
any speaks recommendations. I'm sure you do, but I don't
think I've been writing them down. Nope. Oh wow, okay, sorry.
Did we talk about back as soon as that trod
went and two already? I think we did? Did we?
I thought we talked about it, Lisbin. I think we
talked about all of them. Why would I recommend every
(27:19):
single one in one episode? That's crazy. I don't know
what's wrong with me. I kind of I remember talking
about all the movies we watched. Oh I okay, I
see your recommend it if you want. Well, no, now
I don't know if I if I did or didn't. Okay, Well,
I've been in while Carmen's searching for her speaking recommendation,
I will give mine. I have been in my Latine
(27:45):
horror movie watching Era. Oh you know why, I think
we talked about it, because didn't we talk about it
in the Spanish episode? Oh? We did? We did? I'm
pretty sure we did. Okay, Well, just in case anyone
didn't listen to the Spanish episode, yep, and it's a
capito capitol And then we talked about Frankenstein, so I
(28:09):
knew it. I told you. Oh yeah, you're right, you're right, yes, yes, yeah,
it looks like we already talked about it in the
Spanish episode, but now on Englisian but yes, now in English.
On while Cramet and Milman were visiting me, we watched
a bunch of movies. We watched les Pinaso Diablo, The
Devil's Backbone by g We watched one and two with
(28:34):
Po Fernandez and the second one is Tatiana in it.
So yeah, it's a stacked cast them too. No, I mean,
I'm sure there's other famous actors. They're just the most
famous ones that I knew. And then what was the
other one we watched, which we did a whole thing
(28:54):
on Patreon about. But yeah, these are all very fun
horror movies. They are all well, I'm not Espinaza Espiana
was like a one time, heavy, beautiful watch that I'm
not gonna rewatch. Really, I don't think so well, it's
like it's just like a sad like everyone sorry spoilers
(29:15):
if you have nothing that that was backbone. It was
a little what's that word, it's tragic? Yeah, Like, yeah,
even the hopeful ending is not that hopeful because like,
what chance do these kids have They had to walk
so far to get to the town. It's only a day,
did you make it? It's only a day. They're all
(29:37):
children and they're injured. They're gonna take care of each other.
You do anything together. You're right, You're right. I just
they're fighters. They are fighters. But everyone they knew and
loved and cared for, who cared for them is dead.
But they have each other. But they have but they
have each other. It just felt like, yeah, really grim
(29:58):
and heavy, but it is. It is a are a
good movie, but I don't think it will be one
that I rewatch or revisit. No, no, I say what
you mean, it's not like a fun rewatch or it's
not a fun horror movie. No, because it was beautifully told,
though I thought it was of course. I mean, it's
everything he does is beautifully told. So yeah, we watched that.
Then we also watched those are just fun. This feels
(30:21):
like the first, like Mexican Slasher almost. I'm sure there
was more before, No there, Well, yeah, I just don't
know them. Yeah, well, specifically the second one, because so
many people die in the second one. I feel like
the first one. Oh yeah, I was surprised because the
first one and no one really died. No one died. No,
you thought they were going today would come back, They
(30:42):
would come back, yes exactly. They were like, oh, this
is not slasher enough. Let's make it worse. They were like,
we have to step up our game here, we have
to ramp up the consequences. Yeah. And so yeah, it's
like the first one. Do they even get the doll?
I don't know. There's this doll for some fucking reason,
(31:05):
this little girl Gabby. Oh, they buy a house and
the doll was inside this fucking creepy ass like tunnel. Yeah.
They not a tunnel like a like a base. It
was a well, a well. Sorry, well it's because wells
like or usually one hole. But this kept going, didn't
I did. It was weird. Yeah, So it was like
(31:25):
a well. They went down, they fell inside it. Yeah,
they fell inside of this well, and then this well
kept going and inside the well there was like the
room things that you just shouldn't touch. Yeah, and she
touched it. Yeah. The doll was calling to her though, Yeah,
you mean it was. And honestly, as the like adult
(31:46):
in the situation, they should have been like, put that
doll back, what are you doing? Yeah? But no, they
later keep it all and this doll, this doll like
once everyone to die, especially better if Oh she hates
she hates him, she hates him so much she came
back on the second movie to try and kill him.
(32:09):
But in the second movie, he has he's this badass
trench code lesson. He knows about these kind of things.
That's like he asked the first movie he decaded dedicated
his life to, like the secrets. Yeah, yeah, he's carrying
the trench coin all yes, yeah, sunglasses everything, a mullet
(32:30):
and I think, yeah, no, yes, no glasses that night.
But yeah, the second movie takes a very different turn
from the first one, but they're both very fun. And
this isn't like you're not watching this and you're like
this is a masterpiece. No, this is a fun little
horror movie. Yes, very fun though. So yeah, I highly
recommend back as soon as a third one and two.
(32:51):
And then what's the other one? I said, oh, you're
gonna recommend themala one? Well, yeah, because we already mentioned
them all in the Spanish ship that's true. Yeah, and
then we did do a full recap on Patreon for
this movie. Fun. It's a it's another fun creepy movie.
(33:13):
Did you know that for the marketing of Kilo, they
had people like the little Creepy Boy ghost Boy. They
had them sitting like in different places in Mexico City,
just sitting there. The imagine if it was on comer
there when people would actually die. They didn't do that
on purpose, like that would have been a nightmare. No,
(33:34):
it was like where people would have were walking because
imagine if they actually did. Yeah, yeah, that's still so scary.
Oh no it is yeah no, so yeah, that's horrifying.
I'll try to find a clip of that to put
it in here when I'm talking about it. I would
love to see that. Yeah there is. I've seen clips
of it and it is so creepy looking. But that's
(33:54):
how they marketed this movie. And this is one of
the better Yoana movies out there because when you and
we have, all we have is the Curse of Yourna,
the one that is set in La. That show is
funny with the white social worker. Well, I mean like
it's funny in the sense of like bad funny, not
good funny to me. I The reason I like it
(34:16):
is because I root for when I watch it. Oh okay,
so yeah, and if you look at it that way,
it's hilarious. If you're on the side of like Roona
for the Crystalona, then it's a good movie. Yes, get
those little white kids a bad taking their kids to
work where they can see traumatic as ship. No, yeah,
that's it, that's not good. Yeah. So yeah, I think
(34:40):
if you want a good Yurana movie, but also that's
not like very dark and heavy and a slow burn
like Heiro Bustamentez Urana, then you know, is like the
other better Urana movie where it's yeah, it's a again,
just a fun horror movie. Some of the acting is
(35:01):
a little You're like, why are they doing these things?
You mean the story, the plot line? The story, sorry,
the plot line. Yeah, you're like, why are they doing
these things? Also the acting or what? Also the acting,
I think all mad is a little I don't know, No,
I guess they were all fine. I didn't think it
was too bad of the acting. The wig though, the
wig was Ah, the wig was bad. They should have yeah,
(35:24):
figure something else out. That was a bad wig. Yeah.
But this movie essentially follows two twin sisters. It's the
same actress doing both. One of them gets in a
tragic accident and basically don't want the bad wig. Yeah.
In between that the twin sister that is not in
the accident, she's trying to figure out what's going on
(35:44):
with their sister. And in between that there's a creepy
little boy and you know, it's a lot of fun
so on a creepy haunted road, which is quil Yeah,
those are my speaker recognitions. I I have a audiobook recommendation.
Actually it might be better reading it just because of
(36:05):
the accent, so European accent. I have trouble listening too
in my regular time speed and have to slow it down.
But I listened to Starving Saints. It's like a medieval
horror horror. Oh. I started listening to that, and I
also had a hard time understanding and so I am
going to read it instead, but I haven't. Yeah, it
(36:26):
was interesting. It was weird, very weird, a little lesbian,
a little cannibalistic, oh my god, lesban cannibalistic. Okay, yeah, oh,
and like a little bit like a religious horror type
thing too. Oh yeah, yeah, it was interesting. Apphic religious horror.
I love it. Yeah. Yeah, and cannibal Oh my god,
(36:48):
this almost sounds like it could be the don't worthy. Yeah,
you know what. I think that's why I liked a
lot because it reminded me. It was like the medieval
white version of the unworthy. Fascinating. Yeah, it's like so.
And also I remember you mentioning you liked like a
setting where they're trapped somewhere. I do love a setting
(37:09):
when someone is trapped because they are trapped in the castle.
Perfect you like it? No, it was. It was a
good time. Okay, all right, shall we understand? Yeah, have
we reached the end of the episode. We have? Okay.
The lesson after this episode is to not get on Quero,
(37:31):
the uh metro in that Mexico, that Mexico late at
night and late at night. Yeah, I don't know about
like the subway or like the right light rail or
bart Maybe those are fine. Maybe maybe it's just Mexico.
I don't know, but not after eleven pm. Okay, all right,
