crime at a Time. Welcome backto Rogue Darkness, the podcast that uncovers
how the misinterpretations and misinformation rounding witchcraft, the occult, and other beliefs have
led many to do unthinkable crimes.From ritualistic killings and the demons that live
(01:07):
in all of us, to explorationof the macabre and delving deep into the
unknown, Let's explore the darkness ofmankind one crime at a time. I'm
your host of the grim and GruesomeRaven. Let's go rogue and get right
into today's chilling crime. A trulyterrifying case of supernatural horror. And unsolved
(01:30):
mystery. This is the death ofEstephania Gautiera's Lazarro, more commonly known as
the Vayakas case. We'll be delvinginto the terrifying and gruesome events surrounding this
case and how its horrifying details stillhaunt the minds of many. So now
let's start off from the very beginning. The story begins in Vayecas, a
(02:04):
district in Madrid, Spain, inthe early nineteen nineties. There lived a
normal family who resided in an ordinaryapartment. The Gautier's Lazarre family consisted of
a Stephania's parents, Concepcion and Maximo, as well as her three siblings.
(02:24):
By all accounts, it was anaverage family living an average life. That
was until the faithful day that wouldultimately change everything. From a young age,
A Stephania Gutierre as Lazarro had alwaysbeen drawn to the mysterious and the
(02:44):
enigmatic, with a particular fascination inthe occult. While her parents acknowledged her
interests, they never considered them tobe anything beyond the typical curiosity of a
high school teenager. It was onlywhen they delved deeper to her personal collection
of books on occultism, ghostly phenomena, and the supernatural that they began to
(03:06):
question the impact of these presumably darkinterests on their daughter's wellbeing, Hoping to
mitigate any potential negative effects as Stefania'sparents removed the books from her room,
but their efforts did little to deterher ever growing fascination with the other side.
Undeterred, as Stephania continued to explorethe mystical world, eventually discovering the
(03:30):
mysterious allure of the Luigi Board.Her parents, though concerned, remained unconvinced
that such seemingly harmless experimentation could unleashthe catastrophic series of events that would later
come to define the harrowing tale ofthe Vaikas case. Little did they know
(03:53):
their daughter's innocent dabbling in the occultwould soon plunge their lives into an abyss
of darkness and despair. The chillingtale began within the seemingly innocent walls of
a Stephania's school, where she andher friends, captivated by the mysteries of
the occult, decided to delve intothe unknown by experimenting with the Uiji board.
(04:19):
What they initially believed would simply bean innocent teenage game. A brief
dabble into the realm of the supernaturalsoon spiraled into a terrifying series of events
that would haunt them for years tocome. As the group of friends,
entranced by the board's mystique, attemptedto contact the other worldly, they were
(04:42):
abruptly caught by a teacher. Overwhelmedwith fear and panic, the teacher hastily
broke the Uiji board, believing thatthe girls were on the brink of summoning
malevolent spirits into their world. Asthe fragments of the shattered board lay scattered
before them, the girls claim towitness a sinister, dark smoke emanating from
the remains, which some have sincespeculated was inhaled by a Stephania herself.
(05:11):
Whether this ominous occurrence was a figmentof their imaginations or an omen of the
horrors to come, one thing wascertain from that fateful day ford As Stephania's
life and the lives of those aroundher would be irrevocably plunged into a realm
of darkness and fear, leaving alasting legacy of terror and unanswered questions in
(05:32):
their wake. Following the Ouiji boardincident. As Stephania's life began a horrifying
descent into a nightmarish existence, theonce vibrant teenager started exhibiting a series of
inexplicable symptoms, including horrifying hallucinations,convulsive seizures, and volatile mood swings that
(05:55):
bore no resemblance to her former self. A Stephanie would speak of terrifying encounters
with shadowy figures that materialized in thedead of night, tormenting her with visions
of unspeakable horror and malevolence. Herfrantic parents sought answers from medical professionals,
desperate to understand their daughters rapidly deterioratingcondition. However, the doctors were equally
(06:19):
baffled. They were unable to pinpointany physiological cause for Estephania's escalating anguish.
As if her suffering was not enough, the Gautier's Lazarro family home soon became
a breeding ground for a series ofchilling and unexplainable phenomena. Inanimate objects seemingly
(06:42):
took on a life of their own, moving inexplicably or shattering into pieces without
warning. Doors slammed shut propelled byan unseen force, while disembodied voices reverberated
through the once peaceful homes. Thefamily even claimed to have seen a tall,
sinister figure with sunken, hollow eyes, lurking in the shadows and inexplicably
(07:10):
drawn specifically to a Stephania A.Stephania's behavior underwent a disturbing transformation as she
began to emit bizarre guttural sounds,lashing out at her siblings in violent outbursts,
and even scratching the walls of theirhome with a ferocity that left her
family petrified. As Stephania spoke ofshadowy beings that prowled through the house,
(07:35):
which she described as embodiments of pureevil, relentlessly stalking and tormenting her throughout
the night, her seizures began toescalate in intensity, evolving into full blown
episodes of manic fits, during whichshe would snarl and bark at her bewildered
family members, who found themselves ata loss as to how to help her
(07:59):
in their quest to understand their daughter'sinexplicable condition, as Stephania's parents consulted several
doctors and specialists, but to noavail. Despite their exhaustive efforts, no
one could determine the root of hermysterious ailment, as Stephania appeared outwardly healthy,
(08:20):
confusing the medical professionals who examined her. Yet it was clearly evident to
all who bore witness to her tormentthat something was terribly wrong. On August
thirteenth, nineteen ninety one, theunimaginable happened. A Stephania Gautierrez Lazarro,
who had been suffering from a mysteriousillness and enduring torment at the hands of
(08:45):
the unknown, was found dead inher room. She was only eighteen years
old, a young woman whose lifehad been tragically cut short by forces that
defied understanding. Her family was leftreeling from the devastating loss, struggling to
comprehend the inexplicable circumstances that had ledto A. Stephania's untimely demise. The
(09:09):
medical community was equally baffled, asher symptoms had eluded conventional diagnosis and the
cause of her death remained a mystery. Despite numerous examinations, tests, and
consultations with specialists. A Stephania's finalmoments would remain shrouded in darkness and uncertainty.
(09:33):
In the aftermath of her death,the family was left to grapple with
the haunting memories of the bizarre phenomenathat had plagued their household in the months
leading up to a Stephania's passing.The terrifying encounters with shadowy figures, the
sudden manifestations of unexplained noises, andthe relentless atmosphere of dread that had permeated
(09:54):
their home now seemed to be linkedto the tragic fate that had befallen their
beloved daughter and sister. As wordof A Stephania's mysterious death spread, it
captured the attention of paranormal enthusiast andskeptics alike, who sought to unravel the
chilling tale of the Viecas case.Theories began to grow at a rapid rate,
(10:18):
with some speculating the Stephania's involvement inthe occult, specifically, her use
of the Luigi board had opened adoorway to malevolent forces that ultimately claimed her
life. Others argued that her deathcould be attributed to an undiagnosed medical condition
exacerbated by the stress of her presumedparanormal experiences. The death of a Stephania
(10:43):
seemed like the end of a horrificnightmare for the Gautier's Lazarro family, but
it was far from over. Aseries of inexplicable supernatural events continued to plague
the Gautier's Lazaro household, beginning theeerie whispers of a disembodied voice that seemed
to emanate from a Stefania's now vacantbathroom. The voice, which hauntedly called
(11:11):
out, only served to amplify thefamily's terror. When they mustered up the
courage to investigate it, they discoveredthe room to be chillingly empty. Despite
their grief, A Stephania's family endeavoredto maintain a sense of normalcy by keeping
her room clean and orderly. However, their efforts were in vain, as
(11:35):
they would frequently discover the ones neatlyarranged bedsheets strewn haphazardly about the room,
and her personal belongings scattered across thefloor. The once tranquil home had become
a hotbed of paranormal activity, withmysterious scraping sounds echoing along the walls and
the spine chilling laughter of an unseenpresence filling the air. As the Gautier's
(12:01):
Lazarro family continued to endure the relentlessonslaught of supernatural terror. The situation rapidly
escalated. The sinister laughter that hadonce echoed throughout their home now morphed into
anguished wails, accompanied by the deafeningsounds of fists pounding against the walls.
(12:24):
Lights would flicker on and off,and doors swung open of their own accord,
defying any attempt to secure them shut. The family went to desperate lengths
to maintain some form of control,placing heavy furniture, including a large sofa,
in front of the doors, inan attempt to keep them closed.
(12:46):
Yet their efforts proved futile, asthey would soon hear a sound similar to
a powerful gust of wind, followedby the door handles turning and the furniture
being violently flung aside as if itwere weightless. In one particularly unsettling episode,
a door burst open with such forcethat it knocked a cherished photograph of
(13:07):
a smiling a Stephania from its perchon a shelf. When Concepcion picked up
the picture, she dropped it inshock. Maximiliano puzzled by his wife's reaction,
reached for the photo himself, onlyto recoil in horror as he watched
the image I night, the flamesconsuming a Stephania's face. The family's terrifying
(13:31):
ordeal seemed to intensify with each passingday as they began to report sightings of
a strange, dark, humanoid creaturestealthily moving through their home. One of
a Stephania's sisters recounted a particularly chillingencounter with the mysterious entity. We heard
a whistling sound like on other nights, and then a groan near the door.
(13:54):
We were so scared we were frozen. It was then we noticed something
on the floor as the light fromthe street lights would enter our bedroom and
light it up. It was theshape of a man crawling, dragging itself
along the floor. He had ablack head, no eyes, no mouth,
nothing. It was crawling towards usand we started to scream. It
(14:16):
was then that the toys we hadon a shelf started to be thrown violently
towards the other wall, one byone, and then we heard bangs and
shouts. As word of the family'sterrifying experiences spread, their claims were corroborated
by neighbors and visitors to the housewho bore witness to shadows skittering along the
(14:37):
walls and objects flying through the airwith such force that they became embedded in
the walls. The nightmarish events culminatedin a herrowine attack on a Stephania's mother
in nineteen ninety two. She awokein the dead of night feeling an oppressive
pressure bearing down on her, asif unseen hands were grasping at her feet
(15:01):
and arms. This horrifying encounter wasthe breaking point for the family, who
finally contacted the local authorities for help. Police arrived at the family's home at
two forty in the morning, wherethey were greeted by the frantic and terrified
family, who relaid their experiences ofloud bangs, disembodied voices, and other
(15:22):
inexplicable PHENOMENA. Chief Inspector of theNational Police, Jose Pedro, Officer Negri
and three other police officers accompanied thefamily into the house, where they themselves
would come face to face with theunexplained. The official police report documented their
(15:43):
observations, including the sound of loudnoises emanating from the empty porch, a
cupboard door opening suddenly, and unnaturally, and a crucified statue of Jesus separating
from its cross. The chilling eventsthat folded within the Gautierre's Lazarro household left
an indelible mark on the family andthe officers who bore witnessed the unexplainable occurrences.
(16:10):
Despite the passage of time, theVaekas case continues to captivate and terrify
those who delve into its dark andsinister history, leaving behind a legacy of
unanswered questions and ongoing fear. Despitethe official police report confirming the strange happenings,
no further investigation was conducted. Thefamily, desperate for a reprieve from
(16:34):
the relentless torment, eventually moved outof their apartment. They hope that by
leaving the sight of their nightmarish ordeal, they would finally escape the darkness that
had consumed their lives. But wouldit really be enough. The Vayakas case
has been the subject of much speculationand debate among paranormal enthusiasts and skeptics alike.
(16:59):
Some believe the events were a resultof mass hysteria fueled by grief and
fear following a Stephania's untimely death.Others are convinced that the Gautierra's Lazarro family
was truly haunted by a malevolent forceunleashed by the ill fated Wuijiboard session.
A. Stephanie's cause of death stillremains a mystery to this day. Was
(17:22):
it a tragic result of an undiagnosedmedical condition or was it something far more
sinister, a consequence of meddling withforces beyond human comprehension. The answer may
never be known. As for theGautierres Lazarro family, moving away from the
apartment seemed to be the key toending their torment. Reports of paranormal activity
(17:48):
ceased once they left the haunted residence. They were finally able to start over,
away from the horrors that had plaguedthem for so long, But the
scars of their experience remained etched intheir memories, a chilling reminder of the
darkness that once consumed their lives.The harrowing true story of a Stephania Gautier's
(18:11):
Lazaro and the Vaikas case served asthe inspiration for the critically acclaimed Spanish horror
film from twenty seventeen called Veronica,directed by Paco Plaza, known for his
work on the Wreck film series.Plaza drew from the chilling events surrounding A
Stephania's life and death to craft aterrifying tale that has captivated audiences worldwide.
(18:36):
