En el sector donde vivíamos, era un conglomerado de edificios de 4 pisos cada edificio, era un sector que daba a una calle ciega donde el transporte tenia que dar la vuelta, al final de la calle, por que no había mas vías, pues estaba una montaña al finalizar el recorrido. Era una zona, se podría decir, montañosa con muchos arboles alrededor de los edificios, grandes pinos que daban la impresión de un parque residencial, muy bonito.
Aparte, detrás de los edificios, pasaba una vieja quebrada que databa de la época de la colonia, ya que allí eran terrenos de una antigua hacienda. Habían muchas historias al respecto, se decía que habían duendes allí que llamaban a los niños y cosas por el estilo. Hacia la quebrada, quedaban los estacionamientos de los edificios aledaños.
Cuando mi hija mayor ya era una pre-adolescente como de 13 años, hubo una fiesta de uno de sus amigos, cuyo edificio daba de frente al estacionamiento. Le dimos permiso a la niña de asistir pues era una familia amiga. Ella se fue con el grupo de amigos de nuestro edificio a su fiesta, tenia permiso hasta las 12 pm, a esa hora yo fui a buscarla.
Los padres del niño me pidieron que la dejara una hora mas, pues estaban compartiendo sanamente y todos los chicos estaban felices, mi hija no quería irse y decidí dejarla pero con el compromiso que solo seria una hora y que vendría junto a mi perra Duquesa, una loba siberiana a buscarla, pues quedaba justo al frente de mi edificio, así quedamos.
Mi Perra Duquesa/ My dog Duquesa
No quise recostarme, para estar al pendiente, así que me puse a ver la tv para no quedarme dormida, me asomaba de vez en vez y podía sentir el bullicio, incluso oír la música de la fiesta. Al llegarse la hora, bajé con mi perra Duquesa a buscar a mi hija, al llegar al sitio, yo si note, que la música la habían apagado y los chicos se estaban yendo para sus casas, apurados con cierto nerviosismo al igual que los dueños de la casa.
Al momento no dije nada recogí a mi hija, que también estaba aliviada de verme junto a Duquesa, en el camino le pregunté que por que todo había terminado tan abruptamente, si parecía que todo estaba marchando tan animado. Entonces ya en casa, ella empezó a contarme lo que había sucedido, en ese ínterin en que la deje.
Resulta, que un grupo de chicos, empezaron a comentar acerca de los historias paranormales de la quebrada, de sus duendes, fantasmas y demás anécdotas misteriosas que varios vecinos, atestiguaban. Entonces unos decían, que eran puros cuentos para darle miedo a los cobardes y otros a decir con miedo, que con eso no se juega, de allí surgió un reto, entre los muchachos.
El cual consistía, en ir todos los que se atrevieran a las cercanías de la quebrada y empezar a llamar lo que fuera, para ver si era cierto. Mi hija cuenta que ella no quiso participar, por que se acordaba de mis advertencias y de todas las cosas que le había tocado presenciar y decidió no ir. Ella era una de las que sabia, que con esas cosas no se juegan.
Este grupo que se envalentonaron a ir, aprovecharon que los padres del cumpleañero estaban entretenidos y les dijeron que iban al estacionamiento a despedir a uno de ellos, estos confiados se quedaron en lo que estaban. Pasaron como 15 minutos, cuando se empezaron a oír fuertemente unos llantos de mujer y gritos, super agudos por todo el lugar y mas atrás todos los chicos corriendo, gritando aterrados.
Hubieron algunos que se cayeron, se golpearon, incluso hubo uno que tuvieron que recogerlo en la puerta del edificio, no podían abrir la puerta principal del edificio ante los nervios que tenían. Los de la fiesta apagaron en el acto la música y pudieron oír claramente no solo los gritos de los chicos, si no el llanto de una mujer. Todos lograron entrar al recinto, pero su terror era palpable. Se pusieron a orar todos los presentes, hasta que poco a poco el llanto de aquella mujer se fue alejando de las inmediaciones del edificio.
Ellos luego contaron, que llegaron a las orillas de la quebrada y empezaron a burlarse entre si, y a decir que allí no había nadie y que si era tan valiente el que fuera o la que fuera, se les presentara. Error, por que dicen que vieron del otro lado a una mujer de parada enfrente de ellos, con el cabello negro largo, con un camisón blanco o vestido largo, pensaron que seguro era una de las muchachas que seguramente querían jugarles una broma.
Empezaron a llamarla y a gritarle obscenidades, entonces ese ser levantó el rostro y pudieron ver a una horrible mujer, pálida sin las cuencas de los ojos, que empezaba a flotar hacia ellos, gritándoles y llorando horriblemente. No podían creer lo que vieron y lo que les perseguía, pero no dudaron en salir despavoridos.
Mi hija gracias a Dios, recordó mis advertencias, de su abuela y se mantuvo al margen, pero se puso muy nerviosa, con todo aquello, por unos dias durmió conmigo. Comprobando ella y sobre todo sus amigos que con esas cosas no se juegan, quedando como otra anécdota paranormal de la zona.

In the sector where we lived, it was a conglomerate of buildings of 4 floors each building, it was a sector that faced a blind street where the transport had to turn around, at the end of the street, because there were no more roads, because there was a mountain at the end of the route. It was a mountainous area, one could say, with many trees around the buildings, large pine trees that gave the impression of a residential park, very nice.
Besides, behind the buildings, there was an old creek that dated back to colonial times, since it was the land of an old hacienda. There were many stories about it, it was said that there were goblins there that called the children and things like that. Towards the ravine, there were the parking lots of the surrounding buildings.
When my oldest daughter was already a pre-teen about 13 years old, there was a party of one of her friends, whose building faced the parking lot. We gave the girl permission to attend because she was a family friend. She went with the group of friends from our building to their party, she had permission until 12 pm, at that time I went to pick her up.
The child's parents asked me to leave her for another hour, because they were sharing healthily and all the kids were happy, my daughter did not want to leave and I decided to leave her but with the commitment that it would only be an hour and that I would come with my dog Duquesa, a Siberian wolf to pick her up, because she was right in front of my building, so we agreed.
I did not want to lie down, to be aware, so I started to watch TV so as not to fall asleep, I looked out from time to time and I could feel the bustle, even hear the music of the party. When the time came, I went down with my dog Duquesa to look for my daughter, when I got to the place, I noticed that the music had been turned off and the kids were leaving for their homes, in a hurry with some nervousness as well as the owners of the house.
At the moment I said nothing, I picked up my daughter, who was also relieved to see me with Duquesa, on the way I asked her why everything had ended so abruptly, if it seemed that everything was going so well. Then at home, she began to tell me what had happened in the interim when I left her.
It turns out that a group of kids began to comment about the paranormal stories of the ravine, its goblins, ghosts and other mysterious anecdotes that several neighbors witnessed. Then some said that they were just stories to scare the cowards and others said with fear, that this is not to be trifled with, from there a challenge arose among the boys.
The challenge was to go to the vicinity of the creek and start calling whatever it was, to see if it was true. My daughter says that she did not want to participate, because she remembered my warnings and all the things she had witnessed and decided not to go. She was one of those who knew that these things are not to be trifled with.
This group that was emboldened to go, took advantage of the fact that the parents of the birthday boy were entertained and told them that they were going to the parking lot to say goodbye to one of them. About 15 minutes passed, when they began to hear loudly the cries of women and screams, super sharp all over the place and further back all the kids running, screaming in terror.
There were some who fell, hit themselves, there was even one who had to be picked up at the door of the building, they could not open the front door of the building before the nerves they had. The party staff immediately turned off the music and could clearly hear not only the screams of the kids, but also the cries of a woman. Everyone managed to enter the building, but their terror was palpable. All those present began to pray, until little by little the crying of that woman was moving away from the vicinity of the building.
They then told that they arrived at the banks of the ravine and began to mock each other, and to say that there was no one there and that if he or she was so brave, he or she should come forward. Wrong, because they say that they saw on the other side a woman standing in front of them, with long black hair, wearing a white nightgown or long dress, they thought that she was surely one of the girls who surely wanted to play a joke on them.
They started calling out to her and shouting obscenities at her, then that being lifted her face and they could see a horrible woman, pale without eye sockets, starting to float towards them, screaming at them and crying horribly. They could not believe what they saw and what was chasing them, but they did not hesitate to run away in terror.
My daughter, thank God, remembered my warnings from her grandmother and stayed away, but she became very nervous, and for a few days she slept with me. She and above all her friends proved that these things are not to be trifled with, and this was just another anecdote for her.
