MARATON DE RELATOS DE PESCADORES Y MARINEROS / TERROR EN ALTAMAR Y LEYENDAS DEL OCEANO / L.C.E.

0:00 And on this occasion I would like to share with you some of those experiences that within the Community of the Crypt, these fishermen and these sailors who work day by night with storm and the sunlight the open sea. We begin with the following story, which makes it very clear to us that the lives lost in the ocean may never go away. Perhaps the people who bind themselves to this mystical place do not get rest. Maybe they want to drag more people to their very end, like the next story. My name is Miguel Carranza.

1:00 My experience goes back to my years of youth Verán. I was born in Mexico and spent a long time in my childhood, mostly in places like Acapulco, Calcún. I visited many tourist places more than anything, places that had beach. My mother moved because of that category of hotels and when I already went out to work somewhere, inevitably she took me too. As you know, as a child I was in the water, I learned to swim from a very early age and as I grew older. I was very attracted to the profession of being a fisherman. I met a number of people who did that and when I turned eighteen and finally finished high school, I decided to mess with my uncle what he was doing. I' d been working with him for about a week. Even by this time I had not gone out into the open sea much less so close to the beach. All he did was check everything they fished, keep the accounts and also pack all the merchandise, as well as clean the fish, prepare them and other things.

2:27 He had gone fishing, but nothing from the other world, no work like a fisherman' s, no work like the one he took inside a professional fishing boat. Just the day my uncle decided it was time for me to go out with him on the boat, this happened. The sea is very volatile. I learned that from my years of fishing. The forecast might tell you it' s going to be a sunny day. The truth is, when you' re in the water, everything can change in fraction of minutes.

3:07 At that time I was preparing myself at the port. I was getting ready All the boats were moored. When that' s what my uncle comes up to me and tells me we' re gonna wait at least three more hours. It didn' t matter if we were dating later than planned. I asked him why I was curious how we were going out later. Well, my uncle is an old sea wolf, as popularly said. He told me there were no seagulls and that the animals on the coast were behaving in a very strange way. That only meant that there was going to come a change of time, a change of time that I didn' t know how to make. He was going to be very volatile or maybe a small one, but he didn' t want to risk it. I was confused because just yesterday I had seen the forecast and they didn' t predict rain, in fact, they predicted a sunny day when my uncle was actually right in fraction of some half an hour, some thirty- two minutes, minutes more minutes less. The sky began to cloud and it began to rain in a

4:39 very strong way. The sea began to behave in a very abrupt way, so much so that I had to leave several times to the side also other fishermen. We were all looking after more than anything, all the boats, all the boats, from the smallest to the largest. We couldn' t let the water, that the sea, that the ocean, drag them to the open sea. I want you to imagine the landscape going out from time to time to check effectively, that everything was well tied, as the air was very strong and the water was rising more and more was with the moorings.

5:27 When I suddenly begin to hear something singular. I was wearing my raincoat. But despite the sound of the rain, despite the sound of the wind of the waves hitting in different parts, I began to hear the screams of a woman, also screams of a man, also the crying of a child. It was like a family was asking for help. He couldn' t grasp, which was what they meant. But if I caught the screams, the cries of agony they gave, this caught my attention and I began to sharpen my ear. I wanted to grasp where they came from. Was he turning towards the palapas that were farther away? I was turning towards the beach, but there was nothing, there was not a single person, no person I could hear a scream coming from. At that moment I discovered I took off my hat, which I had invaluable to start listening to better my whole environment. And it is at this moment that I begin to hear more clearly that these cries, that these tears of difference, people came from the water,

7:03 came from that sea so volatile that I saw. It was as if people were among the sea asking for help. I started to see the sea, but I didn' t see anything. I only saw those gray waves with a totally cloudy sky, with rain falling. It was a very scary thing to say. It gave me the creeps just to think of meeting me down there. It wasn' t one of the best swimming positions. And, in addition, in such storms the sea drags you with an ease that is very difficult to understand for those who are not experienced or who do not know how to swim. My gut told me I had to get you back to the corporal. I had already done my job, I had secured the ties, but I had a certain feeling that something bad was going to happen and it didn' t take long. I was walking back when in that I see that in the water there is something yellow that strikes me. By paying more attention to it, I see that it is a raincoat or an equal to mine. I start looking with my eyes and in that I realize

8:35 who' s down there, who' s the person who' s going into the water. It was about toño, he was a boy about my age. He' d just walked in, too. I had significantly more, but the difference was only days. I, seeing Toño I yell at him that what he is doing in the water, that the sea can pull him out, that he comes out as fast as possible, that he needed a lifeguard or something toño, just as I could swim very well, but what he answered did nothing else, but alert me more. Toño told me that he could see a girl who was among the waves struggling to keep swimming and that he was going to rescue her. In fact, he asked me that maybe you' re not hearing it. I, for that moment, heard nothing of the crying. The screams had stopped for me, but apparently, for him he still listened to them at the time, all he has to do is go after my uncle and the other fishermen who, for my luck, were nearby. They were in a nearby canteen, in a bar

10:11 restaurant where they were having breakfast when they told them that Toño had entered the water and that he was swimming. In the midst of this storm, everyone immediately left everything without exception, including fishermen from other boats. My uncle was the one who came first. He told Toño to come out of the water, to come back, but he told him the same thing. I have to find the girl. She' s struggling to survive that maybe you don ' t see her. My uncle, like me, saw nothing at the time. I remember the fishermen' s face very well. They were all looking at each other with a face of terror and some of confusion. My uncle told me to help him land a little boat they had at hand.

11:18 We landed her, we got into the sea and I had Toño on it. I knew where I was. I hadn' t taken my eyes off him. We were on the boat and as soon as we got close to his position. Autumn just disappeared. It was as if the water had swallowed it. We started to circle around. I was telling my uncle that this was the place that he couldn' t swim so fast. At that time, two fishermen who were with us dived into the ocean and only in that way managed to get Toño out again. Autumn was desperate, he was short of breath. Apparently, he was submerged by the fishermen again helped him out to the surface, but this was not left there. Toño was raising the boat, but something, something was preventing Toño from saying over and over again he' s pulling me, he' s pulling me, he' s pulling me. We were very confused. Who' s pulling you. Autumn already climbed to the boat, but genuinely I saw his arms straining and we

12:50 were all pulling something in his legs that were still inside the sea, pulling it down. At that moment I grabbed one of the toño legs so I could lift it up and saw that the ankle had another pair of hands holding it tightly. It was like there was a person down in the water trying to sink it. I didn' t want Toño out of there. I saw her hands and as soon as I approached her, I took the tone leg to pull her up. I saw a face coming under the water.

13:41 It was a cadaveric face. He had long hair, long blond hair and features, or at least the little I saw of his factions, since almost entirely he could say it was a skull. This was feminine. She was like a woman who was under the water for good luck as a ton and so was I. This thing let him loose like he gave up. Finally, when we went up to Toño and again we were in the port, he told us something that to me and apart from the fishermen, especially the most inexperienced, the new ones, made our skin rise, caused us to cause a chill. Autumn explains that she had seen a girl in the distance asking for help. Moreover, he could also hear it without thinking about it.

14:54 Twice he got into the water, threw the raincoat, samboiled and went straight to her. Once she was with her, because Toño says she was able to hold her, he could embrace her already headed back to the port with her in his arms. She says that at the time of taking the child, this strange little girl hugged him tightly. Toño doesn' t explain how it happened, but it was as if this girl weighed a lot, as if she weighed here the kilos and kilos and as time increased, this girl weighed more so much that Toño sank. He sank in the company of that girl says that when he was already submerging, when he saw that he could not leave, he says that when he saw that the water was getting higher than him and he had difficulty swimming to the surface, he released this girl. But this girl didn' t let go of him. This girl took him by the foot and kept submerging him and submerging him to the bottom.

16:18 It was at that time that the other fishermen got in and helped him up to the surface, but they say it is but Toño explains that, even though they were helping him, that girl was not letting go of him. To top off this story, fishermen and well say they didn' t see any girl, they said they did feel like something was submerging Toño, like a force or something with a lot of weight. I was pulling him more and more and more so that they two together with both forces, they had to rescue him. Sure, there' s also what I lived, what I could see. This I didn' t tell them, this I only told my uncle, what I could see in the water, what I was holding it. My uncle just explained to me that, in effect, those things happen and that that' s why you have to be very careful at sea. Me or something astounded. I asked my uncle about other similar experiences. He just with his head told me yes straight away. I asked him then, Uncle, what we saw there. It' s a mermaid.

17:52 My uncle just drew a half smile on his face and told me not everything you see in the movies happens in the ocean. He explained to me that the ocean is a driving element. He told me they did a test and I think you can do it too. Water itself is an element that can help you disinfect, which can also help you heal a wound, but it can also kill you. You can put any container in the shape of it. You' ll see that the water takes the form of this one.

18:38 If there is a path smaller than this one or larger or for more imperfections than it has, the water will find the way to how to get to this one and how to dock to this one. Many lives have been lost in the ocean, but this is not why the whole ocean is haunted. My uncle believes that there are certain currents or certain storms that attract this kind of spirits, because, as he said, water is a driving element and just as it drives animals, it leads life, because water, in its entirety, is life. Thanks to the water, life developed. It can also move other energies, such as evil spirits that reside within the water.

19:52 Not only does he believe this. Many fishermen believe it, in fact, the oldest and the most experienced all believe this. I, while no longer a fisherman, have to say that after this experience I had a lot of respect for the ocean, the sea. And, if that were not enough, it should be said that that storm that had started so volatilely and suddenly so suddenly also calmed down it was as if it had only lasted a few four hours, the sun rose again as if nothing had happened. This also helped me to keep in mind to be prepared at all times, as it is not known when the sea will be on your side offering you a very but very rich fishing of many fish and when it will also be against you that has also sometimes turned boats and has disappeared all the crew from one boat from moment to moment. From a very young age, he met the

21:25 ocean, met the different types of fish, learned to swim from a very young age all this because of his father' s being a fisherman. She and her brother have a story together in the ocean on the beaches, so you have to take this into account to know that the next story does not have its management. It' s two kids who didn' t fear the ocean at all. They are two children who were extremely normal for them to swim to see even marine species like sharks, to know crocodiles and not to hesitate, as they know how to behave so as not to attract their attention.

22:10 So this is even more surprising to know that what they saw that morning with the sunlight, was not a species that they recognized and it was because of this same experience that they, feeling so comfortable in the ocean at sea, began to grasp a fear, an absolute fear, since they realized that the water, being very deep and spreading in great dimensions. She can hide beings that escape our understanding or at least so she expresses it. His story is as follows. My name is Istian Aragon. I want to tell you my alex experience This happened to me when I was a child and it also happened to my brother. It happened to us on a family trip or if you could say a family trip. You see, my father is a fisherman and throughout his life he was. We take Nayarit and here the most fish is shrimp and wet. My father, obviously, these two species were his main source of income, so in my house he almost always ate either fish or these species. But it also goes without saying that I loved it and

23:40 as a fisherman' s daughter I also developed, along with my brother, this love for the ocean from a very young age so much so that my father at age. I think four years old started taking us with him on the boat, he started teaching us Nadar, and practically at seven or eight years old, which is when this experience happened to us. We knew the whole coast, swimming in it, moving around, locating, but we did not tell that, despite having all that experience, we would see something that would leave us with our hairs pointed and with a certain fear, going back into the ocean. As I explained before, my father took us on certain trips, took us fishing and it was precisely on one of these trips in the morning that he, like so many other times had done. He decided to just jump out of the boat and swim, but of course he did tell us he was going to bring us something very special. Obviously, me and my brother sat on top of the boat waiting and very happy, perhaps from what would bring us, but the minutes passed and even though it hadn ' t been so long, we began to see a silhouette there at the

25:15 distance that was moving down the water. It was a human silhouette. We could see the feet, the torso, the arms. He even swam like a human, so obviously and being the only people nearby we immediately thought he was our father. We saw that silhouette swimming at one end and then the other, as if it were in circles. Which we found strange. My brother and I assumed now, since we are big that maybe we saw her swim for about two or three minutes, seeing that this silhouette was just spinning.

26:03 Sometimes he got lost and again we saw her, we thought maybe our father was looking for something, but he couldn' t find it, so I yelled at him, I told him, Dad what you' re looking for. We can help you. And this was the worst thing I could have done. That silhouette stopped dry, turned and turned towards the boat. He stood there motionless, just floating down the water that for this moment, both me and my brother were extremely rare that someone could hold their breath so much under the water. At that moment the silhouette began to swim towards us, but every time it approached it was moving slightly more and more towards the surface. And it was thanks to this that we were able to see her better. Every time he got close. It was as if he was preparing for you once you came with us, to climb the boat without any problem.

27:18 And it was so that little by little he discovered. We saw the forearms of that thing. They were grey arms, they didn' t look like those of human skin. Besides, they had beaks coming out of the forearm, brown beaks. His head had no hair. It was just a gray ball, maybe with some dark strands coming out, but ultimately, it wasn' t hair. Realizing this quickly we ran into the fuel and lit the boat and believe me that I have to tell you that fear does great things, because we were kids and frankly, speaking, that was the first time we ever managed to start the boat engine in our whole life and yet, trying to intentionally start it. Earlier days we could never turn it on.

28:26 It was as if our strength wasn' t enough, but on that occasion I don' t know how we did it, but we lit the boat. In short, fear makes you have extra energy and strength to run out of there, the moment we start the boat. A voice from the other end, a voice that I recognized perfectly, made me turn around was my father who was telling us hey where he' s going, why they light the boat. I in tears, screaming desperate, I said come please, come, Dad Come my brother who still watched that strange being says that this one plunged into the water. As soon as he felt and heard the engine of that boat. My brother mesmerized and told him my father, also screaming Come please, Dad Come quickly, get in the boat, Get in the boat. My brother' s concern at the time was not that that thing would climb the boat with us, but that he thought he was going to grab our father, as he was in the water. My father, as he could and very quickly, swam to get with us. Once there, we begged him. Dad, please, let' s go, Dad, we gotta get back to shore, let' s go. Please, we weren' t that far away, but I think it' s enough

30:02 that if they got us down they wouldn' t see us again. Once returning to the coast, we explained to our father and what we had seen and at that time, perhaps because we were children and even though it became extremely strange to him, he talked to my mother and told her that probably we had confused a species that maybe we didn' t know with a monster practically before our eyes, maybe some strange fish my father trying to get some logical answer. Sure, we didn' t believe this. We' re still going with my father, but that' s it. If he got off, we' d get off, too, if he got on us too. We never took it off, always stuck to it, since that experience, all our childhood and adolescence. My father, now that he is sixty, tells me that he believes in the words that we said. Perhaps he was afraid and did not want to recognize that, but over the years and with the experience of him and some other fishermen much is said about strange silhouettes, whether human or other, swimming in the water. The best thing you can do at the time, if you see one, is ignore it,

31:33 not pay attention. You don' t have to let that thing realize that you can see it, because if it shows signs that you' ve seen it, as I did on that occasion, confusing it with my father, maybe it can be the worst mistake you can make inside the ocean. But after hearing so many anecdotes from fishermen, I think that I, as many believe that they do well to fear the ocean, not only huge creatures hide beneath it, but also legends, legends that remain alive despite the years, such as the following story, where this sailor, who went along with all his crew, faced a storm in which a ship appeared, but not any other ship. They looked like an old ship, they looked like a boat that got trapped from another era, a ship that just wasn' t from this world. My name is Isne Williams. My experience begins as follows,

33:04 before joining the naval, where I currently work. I was a sailor. Most of my life I' ve dedicated it to the ocean, whether it' s a sailor fisherman or a seaman, but in those years, when I was just a young adult I was a few twenty years old, I had recently got a job in a shipping company. Obviously, at sea every few months we had to go to the Panama Canal. We were going from the Gulf of Mexico to Panama. It was a long road and we passed through many ports and very interesting places, various legends, various stories that were told in each port. But, of course, what all moms relevance is what one can see with one' s own eyes and on that occasion I witnessed something that many will surely believe impossible, or believe as a legend, a legend that sailors use to scare people away. But this is not so. I want you to know it' s true. It happens that in one of these trips, when we went to the Panama Canal to transport merchandise, since we already had our offices and we had to transport some things

34:37 that came from China to the coast of the United States on the other side, and the Panama Canal was more than perfect for this happens that on the way of that trip that has to be said, it was not the first time that it did, something happened that was not very common. Suddenly, the sky became dark and we had to deal with a storm, a storm that was abruptly formed. This is more common in the open sea, but we were very close to the coast, although we could not see land, we were quite close to a few minutes or even an hour, but what I saw in that storm was something I had never seen until that moment.

35:28 They were not too big tornadoes, but if enough to intimidate many of us, tornadoes that were forged from the clouds up there to the ocean and just below them a swirl that was dragging everything. The captain tried to evade this clear, but the wind, the rain the sea was very volatile. Chains, even some thirty- five kilos, flew out of the deck to fall into the ocean. The winds were very strong, so the captain immediately ordered that no one be on deck to secure everything, but that we get in immediately. Where I was was was a freighter, so it was heavy and with a very good engine. We were empty, because when we arrived in Panama we were going to fill up. But just when everything was secured, when I was already getting into it, I noticed that one of my colleagues, a man of some fifty years old, who called him Chepe. I honestly don' t remember his name, and I never remember naming him by his name. True, I only knew they called him Chepe, so I also started calling him. So, when I see you standing there looking at

37:02 something on the horizon I tell you chepe chepe Get in, what are you doing a chain of those is going to fly out and it' s going to hit you in the head put chepe turn and tell me neitan look what ' s in front of us. You don' t see it. I must admit it caught my attention, so it was immediately, as the wind and rain, as I said, were very volatile and I find something even more strange and more surprising than those tornadoes. There was a boat in front of us heading our way. It wasn' t very close, but it was at an approximate distance. Just by the distance and by seeing the dimensions of this was even bigger than ours or with a similar size, you can say that this was not the big deal. Maybe it was another freighter.

38:06 And here begins the strange thing, since the appearance of that ship was not normal. It wasn' t a ship of this era, so to speak, it was a ship that seemed trapped in time. It was an ancient ship, about the time of the 1800s, and it was floating like nothing in the sea. Obviously, seeing this, not only did I look at him, but also all my companions, including my captain, and it was this same one who told us to get in, everyone leave the deck immediately.

38:50 We listened and went to the captain' s cabin, as the area where we were was very cold. Inexplicably, it had become almost like in a refrigerator and that we were in warm times. We attributed it to the bad weather and once in the cabin, I saw how the captain told the Petty Officer and the Master to change course, to turn a little in the direction of the tornadoes. I, by this time I was dying of fear only to see those immense tornadoes pass one side of the ship. Obviously, the captain knew what he was doing. I knew the boat was heavy and fast enough and strong enough not to be absorbed by the whirlwind. But in the midst of that catastrophe, seeing the whirlwinds and the whirls, I realized what the captain wanted to be. He was just going to the tornadoes for doing it, especially because the route wasn' t that way. He' s opting to be a deviation. But why good I could quickly deduce that I was avoiding approaching that ship that we had seen that ship did not move,

40:27 I was only standing floating and my captain preferred to go to the tornadoes than to pass near that ship. After minutes, perhaps some time, of sailing in turbulent waters. We finally got out of that storm. Once we arrived in Panama, we began to talk about what we had seen and inevitably, we touched on the topic of the boat and one of my companions, a young man, like me, who had been working with them for seven years, asked me if it was the first time I saw something like this.

41:13 I replied that yes, and that I had been a fisherman and a sailor before and never in my life had it been for me to witness something similar to that. He explained to me that only that was one of so many experiences and so many legends that are told in the sea, in the ocean. He explained to me that in all the years he had been working there he had heard several things and seen worse. One of them was the singing of the sirens, the singing of women who hypnotized the men also when they were passing through a place that was cloudy, that had torn or in the night, you could see people walking on the water. They could not be seen with clothes or with a perfect silhouette, but they could see in the distance among all that blackness, by the clouds at night that was a person with that distorted silhouette. We could just say they just called them ghosts.

42:30 But the worst thing was to find something big, like on that occasion with a boat. I must say, this ship didn' t look normal. It was like he was surrounded by some kind of fog that distorted him completely. We couldn' t see it as we' d seen an ordinary ship around it was like a fog splice. He explained to me that this was a ghost ship and that these were one of the worst, since, as he approached if the captain would not have preferred to go around him, the sure thing was that we would have sunk even before we came to see him closely. That was an experience that until today I can not forget and of course that even being now mercantile marine, I carry it and clearly ce what I have to do, if that again I find with a similar ship in open sea. That was my story. I hope you' ve liked greetings from the whole Community from Florida. This fisherman, as he said in

44:02 the story, is already an old sea wolf and now wants to share with us an experience that happened to his uncle. There are many myths at sea. Rather, coming from sailors, it is said that we do not have to make bad omens before leaving. There are always things a sailor has to avoid doing both at sea and in the harbor, if he wants to return alive and healthy to land and with his family. In this story we will witness a few omens and like these if you miss them. The ocean may get mad at you. Perhaps this is why it is said that strange forces, gods, energies and in the next story rule in the ocean. We ' ll know a little more about this. The next story in question happened to my uncle. This time we leave a few more years ago. When he was a fisherman. It was a boat totally different from the one I got on with him. By then he already had some experience in the work

45:34 of fisherman. One of his friends, his closest friends, was also a fisherman named Facundo. He was a young man, very fearless, very stubborn and very challenging. One morning, when they were working in a no- fishing area very close to the open sea. The following happened and before I explained this to you, I want to tell you that fishermen, as well as sailors, have their superstitions have their bad omens. As many say, these bad omens are not like that simply because they have some rules or have some supernatural superstitions that fishermen would like to have. No. This became more than clear to my uncle that they had a reason why and why they believed in this so much, one of these bad omens is that never ever if you are in bad open, whether it is a fisherman or a sailor, you should not hurt the seagulls, because you have the belief that seagulls carry the souls of sailors who have lost their lives in the Ocean. And this

47:10 is more than anything to give a little respect. This, considering that my uncle was a fisherman, was somewhat tedious, since the captain hurt these animals when they took out the fish, When the fish was on the board, some seagulls inevitably came, what we had to do was scare them away without harming them. Although Facundo had a very volatile temperament and on one of these occasions he drew a resolve he always had. He pointed a seagull at her and threw a stone at her, not just one. He repeated this three times, taking the lives of three seagulls on board. The captain realized this and obviously scolded him and sent him to do other work, work that no one wanted to do. This more than anything as a form of punishment.

48:23 And here' s what' s interesting because when they went back, they bumped into something they bumped into in the face with something really hard. Underneath it was as if the boat had anchored, it had stumbled upon land with a receptacle shook the entire boat. My uncle had even fallen. They all got up after the big blow they had suffered. They were looking overboard and in that my uncle heard a scream coming from the other side of the deck.

49:06 It is the cry that none of the fishermen or sailors ever want to hear and are shouting. Man in the water? Man in the water? Man in the water? They all went immediately and found precisely that Facundo was at sea. And even though Facundo, like all fishermen, knew how to swim very well in some strange way, he couldn' t stay afloat. He sank and then again he went out asking for help. There is another evil omen, which I will tell you later, and that is that, at first no one samboured to collect it. Take it by floaters from these Lifeguards and throw them with a hard rope. He just had to get hold of them and we were all gonna pull the rope and we were gonna bring him back to the boat. But something strange happens here, as if that blow wasn' t enough every Lifesaver who threw him in the face. The rope broke and the eye did not break from the friction it made with the boat. In addition, they are large ropes, they are thick ropes,

50:42 they are boat sailor ropes rarely break and even have years of duration. My uncle remembers that three lifesavers were thrown at him and the three ropes that went with these lifesavers, the three ropes were broken. And not only the strange fact that these ropes broke was the trigger of even more terror on top of the ship, but when they checked it, they realized that these ropes had burst, but more than anything, they seemed cut as if they had been cut with a knife. That was practically impossible. They, before throwing it, looked at it, stretched it out. The rope every time they threw it was fine overnight. She remembers it just bursting, it was cut off.

51:47 The ship' s master had an idea what all of us were looking at. How to get Facundo Facundo out, fortunately, thanks to the floaters. He could stay afloat, he could stay on the surface strangely, being a good swimmer, he could not reach the ship. He was trying to swim, but he wasn' t moving around. It was like something was holding him back. It was like something was stopping him. The master had taken out a heavy large wooden beam that helped more than anything to the support of the crane with which we pulled out The fish between six, between my uncle and six other fishermen, held it tightly, They passed it to Facundo, He took it only In this way they could return it to the boat.

52:54 Once Facundo was out of danger, the captain launched the ship. He thought about turning back, turning back. But curiously enough, the ship wasn ' t stuck. The ship had not encountered anything or at least was no longer stuck, as he thought simply with whatever, with what they had encountered, was no longer there or perhaps it was something that had purposely pushed them. That' s where the captain makes the decision to return to port.

53:34 I didn' t want to stay at sea that day. He begins to connect everything that had happened and tells them that they will return, because today it is more than clear that they made the ocean angry and that, for their bad luck, if they were slow to return, it is possible that the sea will take all their lives. And the other bad omen I want to tell you is that when a man falls into the water, but it falls because the ocean wants it to fall, not because of an accident. When the ocean claims the soul of that subject it must not be saved.

54:20 That occasion was more than clear that all of this, that was what the sea was about had intentionally hit the ship and had caused facundo to fall and at that time we had challenged him to save him. The captain was on the way driving very quickly. The captain told his fishermen to pray, to their gods, to pray to any entity they believed in, and to ask the sea not to turn them and much worse, to disorient them. Because, even though the captain had years of being a fisherman and of knowing those waters very well, even the most expert and this is proven by history, even the most expert captain can be lost. The sea is very mystical and can cause tragedies. Fortunately, they arrived at port, but facundo was forbidden to go up. The next day and for a full week, the captain didn' t want to take any chances on what might happen on the high seas. I didn' t want the ocean to get angry again. There

55:52 are commercial sailors. These commercial sailors are those that we commonly see in the great ships, those that take out tourists, those that go on cruises and also to quillos are hired in yachts. Interestingly, these sailors, even though they are accompanied, even though they carry many people hundreds and in some cases, thousands on board a ship, including personal cleaning waiters, even on large boats, you can experience paranormal experiences in the middle of the ocean. This is very peculiar, as much of the stories are said to be alone to see something like this, to capture entities, even in the water, as you need to be calm. This story again confirms to us that this is not true, that seeing something strange can happen at any time, day or night. This sailor shares two stories with us. He was a commercial sailor all his life and, despite being accompanied, he always lived things that would leave many people disturbed. His experiences are the following hello alex. My name is Eugenio Montiel. The next experience I want to tell you belongs to my

57:27 uncle. My uncle, as well as many people. Since he was little, he liked the ocean sailing swimming, so his family did not do anything strange that for his profession he wanted something related to the sea and as he came from a good family, he was very easy to learn in specialized schools for one day in the future to be captain of a boat. This was fulfilled at the age of thirty- five. He was requested by agencies, by families of a lot of money to drive their yachts, to drive cruises.

58:07 And in these two ships that I just mentioned to you, it was precisely in those that you experienced beyond disturbing. I want to tell you the first one. This happened to him when they were on a cruise. He was not a captain, but if he had a very high rank position in his errands, he also had to go down with the sailors who were monitoring all the machines by means of security cameras. These cruises, some are large, others are medium, others are small. Specifically, I don' t remember well if this happened to you on a medium or small cruise. But as small as a cruise ship is, there are many people in it, and one, as a sailor and also as a safety officer, has to be aware that everything is going to work. All right. Remember that he was chatting with other sailors who were in the cameras when suddenly one of them calls him and tells him to go, as he needs to see something that ' s catching the camera. This sailor says he feels very nervous, something scared as if he had seen something that would have left him very disturbed.

59:23 My uncle goes and this sailor precisely tells him that he saw something strange sleeping in the camera facing the propela of the ship. These propelas that the ships have, depending on the size, can vary, because it is in itself what gives the boat strength to go sailing. They are very large, absorb water and drive it. There' s a camera fixing this one more than anything in case there' s a problem, in case the major propellant or the smaller ones, which are smaller, get stuck if they manage to catch something that' s too hard to crush. They have to stop the machines, see through the cameras and think about how to fix this or simply stop acting and moving with the others until they can reach the mainland, where they will be given their maintenance and a corresponding solution. My uncle comes to the House and he looks at it and sees that it is in the direction of the greater propela, the greatest of all. He asks her well, what do you want the sailor to see gets nervous. He tells you look, I don' t know how to explain it to you. Please stay here and see it with your own eyes, because if I tell you, you probably won' t believe me. But please trust me and stay here.

1:00:51 I hope it happens again. My uncle says he stared at the House and talked to the sailor and others about twenty ons minutes, almost half an hour, but he didn' t see anything. It should also be said that at that time they were going through a storm. All guests were mostly in the lounges, casino or in their rooms. No one was on board, because obviously, who wants to be in the middle of the storm raining and with strong winds. And I' m telling you this because my uncle also mentions it. Passe turns out that after a while, he manages to see something there in the House, he manages to see that something is moving on the edge of this not remotely, but rather playing. I also have to stress that these cameras are a night vision, because underneath the water, you can' t see anything. Everything is completely dark. And even more, at that time it was night, my uncle stays with his mouth open and this talks about it in a very serious way that what he saw was the face of a girl who looked just for one or two seconds maximum in front of the House, as if this girl were flesh and blood. Her hair floated in the water, her eyes were completely dark and very large. This

1:02:22 girl sketched a smile at them in front of the House as if she knew she was being watched. This was for a brief moment, as I tell you, it was one or two seconds maximum. Then, this girl just let go as if she had been held to the ship and got lost. He just got lost. Let' s explain a few things here, and the boat was on the move, as I tell you, it was a cruise ship. They are heavy and the propela just to which the Chamber was aiming was the largest, it was the one that absorbed the most water. It was practically impossible for a living being to be in that range, as it would have been absorbed and destroyed by the propela. This child, however, was there as if nothing. All the sailors who were there were left without saying a word, until my uncle told them to stay calm. Keep checking the cameras and if you see anything like it, just ignore it.

1:03:28 One of the sailors told her how it' s possible for a girl to be underwater. But my uncle, very sure, replied that that child is not alive. Storms, more specifically in this ocean, in the open sea, bring more than water and strong winds. Sometimes you can see these things. Luckily, we saw it in the Chamber, but believe me it' s even scarier when you see it with your own eyes in the water. Just if you see something like this, don' t take it into account, because in this job you can see a lot of this and if you don' t have enough nerves to deal with it, this kind of thing will eat you alive. Our job is simply to verify that the ship, the ship or whatever we are driving, has no malfunction and is handled as it should be. Beyond that, ignore this story to make you honest.

1:04:28 Alex and the entire crypt community told us about it when he was forty- two and he claims it was true. Like this second, this second story happened to him even when he was younger. He was still studying some courses, but he could already defend himself by sailing in small boats, small boats such as yachts, fishing boats, etc. Etc. On one occasion at the Capes, an agency that rents yachts for people because they are of a lot of money, offered him work for what would be all summer holidays.

1:05:10 He issued, obviously from experience and also because he wanted to perform on other ships. I' ve never handled a yacht before, big and small. He gladly accepted the job. He says they had a radio where they could move. And so, obviously, families and some couples, because they go with music, distracting themselves, having fun, either by day or by night. There are some families who rent the yacht for three days even and these yachts tend to be large, they come with bedrooms inside. They only make stops on the coast to go, walk, or go to dinner, but what they want to live is the experience of being at sea. So, a few kilometers rent them for almost three full days. This was the situation of that family. My uncle went and this one asked him to take a walk. I don' t know how to explain myself. He explained it to me very well in maritime terms we could say, but now, to make you honest, I don' t remember very well. The point is, they stopped at what we could say a pit. You' ll see at sea. All the sand. There are some areas where it is very deep and then again the sand rises. There are areas that are like very small abysses, like large holes that go that have meters kilometers of depth.

1:06:43 In this type of abyss, on the surface is calmer everything and usually the motor is a little forced to pass above this, as there is a current that pulls you down. But obviously, the engine is enough and plenty to get out of there. But then, if he has to be forced a little, my uncle stopped there more than anything, because the family told them. They wanted to be as deep into the sea as possible and that' s where the agency allowed it. Night fell my uncle went to his cabin. He was already in perfect shape for you. Everything had been checked out.

1:07:24 The family was traveling with a dog, a German shepherd, a very well educated dog, very friendly, especially during the first two days the dog behaved in a very good way. But this last night, when they stopped in that abyss above, or we could say near that pit of that abyss, the dog began to behave strangely. My uncle says that the dog used to snarl, bark, squeal, but not a person in particular, but towards the ocean, towards the sea, as if something found there made him uncomfortable. He behaved strangely, nervously, violently. So much so that some relatives decided to put him in, but during the night this got worse.

1:08:23 The dog couldn' t sleep. He was very restless. I think animals can catch vibrating things more than we do and at that time the dog was feeling it. I was feeling they were in danger or something I was watching them that night. Marriage has a fight, nothing from the other world. A simple argument like any couple and in that my uncle, who was in his cabin, who has windows out, listens to the film does not pay attention to him, since he does not want to get into matters that do not matter to him. And he sees the wife walking to the front of the yacht and immediately my uncle notices something falling overboard and whipping in the water.

1:09:15 Immediately he stands up, opens the door, runs and sees the wife nowhere. Suddenly he begins to hear cries of help coming from below the water. When you see one of the lights on the yacht, you see that the wife is in the water trying to get out afloat. He was drowning, but he was fighting. He immediately gives the order to one of the sailors who comes with them, as it was he and four other assistants. One of them jumps and sees immediately for the wife, while the husband watches from above the lady is very upset screaming over and over again that her daughter is in the ocean that her daughter had fallen off the yacht. Obviously, we all get the lights, we turn on every one of the lights that were on the yacht to use everything around, but we didn' t see anyone. The husband, for obvious reasons, is also entering the alert to see, but as it is possible that the girl was at sea. It was not unlikely, since the mother had fallen, but the girl started screaming by her name over and over again, over and over again until the girl left the yacht of her room more than anything in the company of the dog, slitting her eyes. That good guy, I' m here because they

1:10:49 ' re yelling at me. She was asleep. The mother climbs on the yacht and embraces her daughter with all her strength. How could the girl find herself laughing? This mother says that after having argued with the husband, she went to smoke a cigarette in front of the yacht and it was at that time that she heard the cries of help coming from the water. Your daughter was yelling at you over and over again, Mom, help me? Mom, help me? Am I sinking? I' m sinking. Please, when she looks down and sees her daughter there in the water, without thinking twice and in a way we could say something desperate, since although the mother knew how to swim, at that time she went into crisis, she threw herself and couldn' t coordinate. She was so desperate, so she herself was sinking, too. We all looked over the ocean, but there was no one else, no one else, that wife would have confused with her daughter. It has to be said and emphasized that the lady was not alcoholized, had not taken any substance, was clean. It was a family trip.

1:12:18 She smoked it a lot and that from time to time, so it was in her five senses, when she saw this. They don' t know what they saw that night, but in short, it was something they wanted to fool us all. The dog could sense it perhaps took the form of that girl to pull the woman and plunge her into that abyss. Legends or horror stories are told in different populations. Surely if you are in a city, in a village, even if it is rural, they have a legend that only the inhabitants of there know, either in desert or as in this case, on a beach that, although at the time they were passing, both who tells the story and his family thought they were simply delusions of a person who was sadly losing his mind. In time they realized that the person who claimed to live these experiences was not completely crazy, they realized that those words he said that what stalked the beach might not be entirely invented.

1:13:38 His story is as follows: hello, Alex Mira. This next story was told in my village. I' m from Veracruz and beyond a story, it' s a legend, but that really happened there was a man who is no longer alive. They called him Don Gerardo to make you honest. Many of us don' t even remember his last name. His story is very sad, but he has left a stamp and a certain fear for an inconcret path of Veracruz Mira. Don Gerardo was a person who didn' t have a lot of possibilities, he was always a pickler and when he started fishing, he only fished what was right for him and he himself consumed it.

1:14:36 He was a person who was always on the street and eventually, seeing that much of his food was taken off the coast, he decided to go live on one of these beaches, in a hidden place where the authorities would never tell him to move. He had spent so many years prowling around that place that he knew more than clearly some places where he was not going to be interrupted. It began to be his house, which was only wooden and eventually he met a girl, a girl also in a street situation. They became partners, went to live with him, and eventually a son emerged from that relationship. But two years after he had conceived that son, the girl left Don Gerardo and left with another man. Although the abandonment of his partner hit Gerardo hard, at least he had his son and raised him with much love, with much devotion. My parents witnessed these years, as I was too young at the time as Don Gerardo Sella, being basically a pepenador and fisherman. At the same time he began to carry some dogs, dogs also belonging to the street and his son took them to have friends, because his son did not go to school. He was learning everything that Gerardo could teach

1:16:06 him, even though it was a life, we could say not so good. They lived in deplorable conditions. We could say they were both happy, but happiness ended when his son, at the age of ten, as he had taught him, his father, went swimming on the beach, as he always did. It was one of those days, he didn' t come out of the water. On that tragic day, his son disappeared. Don Gerardo, distressed, got in and lasted hours from the afternoon to hours of the morning looking for his son on that beach and in the following, Don Gerardo was known, so some neighbors lent themselves to help him and even later days, asking for the child perhaps had escaped from the house, but they never found him. They all assumed that perhaps the child out of recklessness, perhaps believing that his ten- year- old strength was enough to fight the sea currents further into the open sea. He wanted to swim beyond what he owed and the current ended up dragging him. After this, it is said that Don Gerardo fell into madness because he began to see things that did not exist or at least that was what the neighbors said. Don Gerardo began to

1:17:41 say that a corpse came out of the water and went to his house and told him that if he had to go at that time he would practically run it. He said this body didn' t have an eye. Her skin was peeled. The flesh inside which one could have seen was rotten, lacking parts of skin, some fingers. It was like a corpse, but it moved and could talk. He told all his neighbors about this, and he also told my parents. But obviously, alex how to be realistic, how you' re going to believe something like that, especially coming from a person who' s on the street and who lost both his partner and recently his son. Of course, we all thought he had fallen into madness for what they only heard. But as the story ended, they turned around and left feeling very sad. For Don Gerardo, the only thing he had in that cabin that fell more and more were his dogs. I was like seven at the time, but this number of dogs started to decrease. Some in the morning appeared lifeless and Don Gerardo said it was that corpse that was coming out of the water that was running it and that, if he wasn' t going to go for each of his dogs on different days and at night he

1:19:14 was going to get rid of them until inevitably his turn. What began to be said there where I live, is that Don Gerardo had fallen so much into the madness that he himself was taking the dogs' lives, so some neighbors, with a good heart and thinking that Don Gerardo no longer had any kind of salvation, at least mental, went and convinced him to give to the remaining dogs. As I told you before, he had about seven or eight looks, then he only had three left. Then most, according to their own words, had arrived. I' ve been lifeless. Don Gerardo accepted and gave to those dogs, but as he gave them, he began to distance himself. Little by little. He stopped putting in maintenance until he moved back into the streets. It seems then alex I would be a few thirteen or fourteen years old. I had a dog back then. It was a big dark- colored dog, it wasn' t of race, but it was of big dimensions. He always followed me everywhere and near where Don Gerardo lived there was a stream that was surrounded by stones. There we used to go play my dog. He had followed me on some rare occasions,

1:20:45 but he ended up hurting himself because of the stones and even though I scolded him not to follow me. At the end of the day, he always followed me, so on one occasion and I regret this very much, we arrived near the house, or rather the former house of Don Gerardo. By this time we all thought he was simply a gentleman who had lost his sanity, so nothing he told us we took him seriously. We were there on the beach and since my dog can' t swim and he wanted to get in this one and especially, minutes later we were going to go to the Riachuelo. Me and my group of friends decided to tie my dog there so he wouldn' t follow us. Anyway, we weren' t gonna take just half an hour. And while my dog was sociable, the truth is that he was also very brave. He wasn' t allowed to be caught by anyone and even on the street. He was a dog of strong character.

1:21:50 I tied him to one of the trees and left with my friends when it was getting late, when the night was just minutes away from getting completely. I came back for my dog. My dog was lying totally inert and lifeless. Obviously, I got sad and went immediately to tell my father this. My father had brought him to me as a child and I also had a lot of love for him, so he went immediately to the beach and went against Don Gerardo. He believed that in his madness, as he had taken the lives of other dogs on the beach, very possibly mine had also been taken away. But something didn' t add up as much as he looked from one side to the other in the company of my uncles and other neighbors as well. They found no one, but what one of them says if he saw, they were footprints or a very strange tread path. They were not from any sandal, from any boot or shoe, or from any foot he recognized. They were just like holes in the sand coming out of the water as far as my dog was tied looking for Don Gerardo. Many of the merchants told us that he was in the square, but that he

1:23:26 had been there all day, that he had not moved, and that house he had had, that now was practically a few wooden planks raised. He hadn' t been back there for a long time, he didn' t feel normal, like an animal' s lifeless body. My father called a veterinarian to explain to him what had happened to him, since there were no marks that had suffocated him or that he had been embedded in something like the dog might have lost his life. The vet answered my father that something very strange happened to that dog because it had no blood. Everything had been drained as if it had been some sort of leech. Many believe that what Don Gerardo lived was because of his madness, but I believe that something he was saying was right, because some time later I found out that he said through talks of the dogs he buried and that they were already making no life because of that supposed corpse that visited him, that he was running from there too it was the same one that took their blood. Thank you for sharing my story. Greetings to the whole Community. Not only are the fishermen the ones

1:25:00 who have bad times in the Ocean, the sailors and more specifically and what this story makes very interesting. Soldiers from the naval navy also experience paranormal experiences, such as the following story, which comes from one of these elements. Like the first story, this sailor holds the theory that perhaps souls who lose their lives at sea never leave it. Maybe it' s not because they can' t or maybe they don' t want to. Anyway, I ' m pretty sure the next story will give you to think every time you go to the beach about poor souls who keep working and refuse to leave hello the whole unity thing. My name, that sequiel. The experience I want to tell you doesn' t come from me. It' s coming from my father. This happened a few years ago, about a decade ago.

1:26:19 My father was a sailor. He was part of the Mexican Navy, but he wasn' t terrestrial. He left in the boats and arrived at different ports of the Mexican Republic, more than anything where they occupied him. In the course of the sea he told me many things, many rules that had some popular sayings that sailors have. And even though if several paranormal things happened to him, such as seeing silhouette in the water, seeing even ghost ships in the morning fog in the sea, there was an experience or rather an event that left me quite intrigued. You see, my father says there' s a certain area near the port of Veracruz where a tragedy happened. It happens that they were making an oil platform, the reasons why it was not finished. My father does not know only rumors, but indeed, it had begun. They had the bases, the weather, the sea, the climatic

1:27:57 conditions and the zero maintenance that is given goes to the remains. It caused this base of the platform to deteriorate very easily to the degree that, after a few years, it completely disappeared. As I said before, the reasons are not known, but what is known is that lives were lost. Some workers there died from an accident and this could be left here as a tragic story. But the funny thing is that my father every time he went through the boat and in the company of more sailors to get an idea. They ' re naval sailors, they' re soldiers, they' re not superstitious.

1:28:56 They can only believe in what they see or what everyone and every time they went through, a fear invaded them all equally. And it is that during the autumn season, by regulating at sea, when it is dawning, there is a certain fog, a fog that prevents them from seeing after a certain distance. But they can see silhouettes, they can see things, and they' re getting closer. The funny thing here is that when they were passing through this place, they saw the silhouette of what seemed to be the bases of that platform, something that made no sense because they had already been there several times, especially during the day and also at night. The bases were no longer found, or at least they were not on the surface the sea had accidentally devoured them among the fog they could see and as the ship approached, these silhouettes of the bases were disappearing as if the fog took them

1:30:26 with it, as if they were practically air. Another very strange thing that happened is that the radar was starting to fail, so to speak, and this was often told by the captain more than anything. I believe that, in order not to infuse the fear so much, the radar used to ring in that area. I' ll explain this radar to you a lot. This radar is on the ship and it' s marking you if something very big or of heavy proportions, something huge. You can also catch animals.

1:31:19 It gets closer to the eye ship only if this thing is big and heavy. The strange thing is that the radar didn' t dial anything. But, however, this one at the same time had a security system and it is that if that thing was approaching and it was approaching and the ship was not taking evasive action, that is, as if it was going to pass very close to it or if it was going to crash flat in front of it, the radar was starting to ring over and over and over again it sounded and sounded in case the sailor who was in charge didn' t realize what was happening. The radar alerted him every time we passed the radar was activated and not once did my father and other sailors know what it was all about. It was like we couldn' t see anything. This happened several times and for obvious reasons, they tried to find a logical solution. They thought maybe I was a big animal and the mistake they made that my father

1:32:54 was present on one occasion when they did this. I understand they did it more times, but my father was present in one of these and is activating the microphone. They wanted to know if they were picking up the sound of something close to the platform, but this became more than clear that they never should have, because out of giving answers, this did the opposite and was to give more doubts about this whole subject. In the microphone you could hear voices, voices that came from the bottom of the ocean, voices of people, voices of men and not only voices, but also blows, metal blows sounds like tool, As if someone was working in the bottom of the ocean multiple times you wanted to reach something that was logical. In this case,

1:34:25 but it was never possible. That platform had been abandoned, deteriorated and as time passed. Only they laid the foundation at the bottom. There was no other plant nearby, there was no company that wanted to work there. My father says and explains to me that what is heard in that area are the workers who lost their lives. They keep working, They keep doing their jobs.

1:35:05 Maybe they don' t even know they' re no longer alive and they' ll be there for eternity. Beyond hiding strange energies souls, the ocean also hides some things that could be legends or myths. I think the most popular would be cracken or sea monsters. Since the human began embarking on these oceans many years ago these stories began, stories of sailors seeing strange creatures in the ocean. This sailor, this soldier fervently believes in this. He assures that there are larger animals, animals that the human does not know living in those marines, inhabiting those marine abysses. And this sounds more and more and we cannot leave it unnoticed, for man, the human, has reached the moon, but they do not know the depths of our oceans. No one' s ever come. This is the limit and the next story is not going to be anything else, but to corroborate all that is said.

1:36:38 I hope you enjoy it. Another story from my father. It happened to him when he was on board a fracta, a fracta one of these very large steel warships completely. He considered it extremely strange, because, even though the ship was too large, which intimidated all animal species, a case like this happened to him. I don' t know if you' re aware, but there' s a lot at sea about animal monsters. Out of our imagination. I think the most popular case is the Kracken the Leviathan animals of enormous proportions that, according to legends, live in the depths of the Ocean. My father, with all the years of experience he has, he says he believes this. More like. They don' t believe monsters per se, but they believe that animals of great proportions, fish, squid,

1:38:12 eels, different species of aquatic animals live in the depths that are very different from those we know. He can attest to this, for on one occasion he saw what a sea monster, a sea monster, could say that he only saw it once and never showed up again. And it' s this next story that, luckily, he' s going to explain it to you himself. It was night we were in the Gulf of Mexico, almost leaving this near Yucatán. We had anchored, we were, as it were, in the open sea, as we saw nowhere traces of civilization. It was just the sea and the ship. On that night, it was up to me to do the duty shift. He had to walk from one side to the other, check some things, carry a log and stay until about ten in the morning the next day. He wasn' t the only one.

1:39:30 This warship is very large, so there were many more sailors in different locations. As you know, at the sea where we were. Once we anchor, we stop the noise almost completely. I think there' s more noise coming from the waves. And it was for this very detail that I realized what was happening. I was walking when suddenly I hear a rumble, a rumble that' s not normal at all, it' s not a sound that makes the fract. It' s a sound of water, as if something had fallen, as if someone had fallen overboard. I identify where the noise came from and I' m walking fast towards this place. When my suspicions arrived, they ended up being true, because in that place, on that journey, there was supposed to be another sailor who, like me, was playing the night guard, but he was not without wasting his time.

1:40:53 I looked overboard and I could see in the water, in that dark water that there were traces, as if someone had fallen, call those traces that leave the water agitated in one place where the fall comes from. I, at that moment, could have gone and set the alarm that maybe the sailor had fallen. But I find something strange, and it' s that as I look closer I see that it' s not the only trail I see that there are more traces around this one. I had not heard that more people had fallen. Until I pay more attention and see that those traces that leave the water, all those waves, it' s not a body falling, but something that was coming out of the water and that was sticking to the fract, but something that was coming out of the water and sticking to the fracta. I see in that moment that there are dark lumps coming out of the water and sticking to the fracta, sticking to the iron so that they understand me. It' s like a salamanchesa comes out of the water

1:42:23 and sticks to them and walks stuck in steel to the top. When I paid more attention, I saw that she found several of these things stuck to the fracta and that they were not only stuck, but that they were climbing super right away, that that wasn' t normal. Those things were moving, those things were alive. They were watching me because their eyes were shining in the dark they were blinking they were staring at me as they went up.

1:43:09 There were quite a few of them. I think a few forty or fifty stuck around and still dating more. At the time, all I did was pull out a gun. By that time I had already risen in rank. I approached one of the triggers that are used to ask for help, either to warn something or to report a failure while I pulled it. I quickly returned to the embroiderment I pulled out the gun. I set her up for this. He had also taken a flashlight that was on the side of that trigger. I turned on the flashlight and pointed it down and down at my gun and it was that with the light of the flashlight I could see better what these things were all about that were coming out of the water.

1:44:09 They had the head like that of an ajolot, but unlike this animal, two long extremities came out of them, like the arms of a human, with which they glued to steel and climbed their bodies. From what was left was simply a huge fin, like those of an electric eel, which he used to propel himself out of the water and jump towards the ship. I was just pointing at them and when I greeted them, they stopped for a moment, but they still kept climbing. It should be emphasized that its color was totally dark. They were coming up very fast when one of the sailors came running. This sailor didn' t have a gun, so he was just waiting for someone to arrive. I needed witnesses to do what I was going to do. I had the trigger ready. I was just waiting for someone else. He looked like me and saw them. He asked me, but what is that, what is it? I just started pulling the trigger and started shooting again and again and again. Those things I had never seen,

1:45:45 but they had common sense, like any other animal. As they heard the detonations, they started jumping back into the water. Not all of them were just nearby. Obviously the shots attracted more people, more sailors. I kept shooting, while the other sailor just looked astounded. I looked at him and I told him you saw them. He said yes to me. I answered with a ok. I told him I need you, because if there ' s no proof. If there' s no witnesses like you, they ' re gonna think I' m crazy. You don' t have a gun, don' t worry, I' ll just take your words.

1:46:39 I kept firing until, finally, each and every one of these things went back to sea. I wasn' t gonna let them get onboard. Among all the sailors who arrived came a Petty Officer I explained to him what I had seen and that not only that, but one of the sailors who was supposed to be taking care of it, that part had disappeared and that, according to my suspicions, perhaps it had fallen overboard or worse had taken it, even though I had my history and the other sailor rectified everything that he had done. It was hard to believe, but at the end of the day, they didn' t treat me crazy. The evidence was there and the disappearance of an element was also there. A boat went down, searching all over the area and around the entire fract on a perimeter for the missing sailor, but it didn' t matter all those efforts couldn' t find him. This left me as an experience that, in short, the sea

1:48:13 the Ocean is immense too large and that in it animal things creatures are hidden that escape our imagination. Whether they are too big or in this case some small beings, because I do not calculate those animals more than a meter, but they were quite numerous, as they moved by herd, something that certainly left me a good teaching to be on the lookout, even when everything is quiet, when there is absolute tranquility, because it is at those times when nothing is expected that the worst things happen. Those were my stories. Thank you for allowing me to share them.
