The Vallecas Case and the Death of Estefania Gutierrez Lazaro was a case that left the Madrid police puzzled and the case was left unsolved. Just before and after the death of their daughter the family experienced strange things happening that they believed happened because her interest in the occult and that Estefania might have been possessed.

It’s a story that has captivated the world for decades- the terrifying tale of the Haunted Vallecas case in Spain and the death of Estefania Gutierrez Lazaro. In 1991, a family in the Vallecas district of Madrid claimed that their apartment was haunted by a malevolent spirit. Over the course of several weeks, they experienced a series of chilling incidents, including unexplained noises, objects moving on their own, and even physical attacks that ended in the death of one of their daughters.

The Vallecas case attracted widespread attention from paranormal experts, skeptics, and the media alike, with many attempting to uncover the truth behind the haunting. But even now, more than 30 years later, the Haunted Vallecas case remains shrouded in mystery, with many questions left unanswered. 

Background of the Haunted Vallecas House

The Haunted Vallecas case took place in a modest apartment building located in the Vallecas district of Madrid, Spain. The specific place the hauntings happened was in an apartment on Calle Luis Marin No. 8.

The people living there had a teenage daughter called Estefania Gutierrez Lazaro that lived in the apartment together with her siblings and parents. She was 18 years old and had started to get into spiritualism in the time leading up to the hauntings, and she was especially into ouija boards.

Estefania Gutierrez Lazaro used to organize some of her own sessions as well. Once she was playing the game with her friends at school when a teacher found them. They had been trying to contact the boyfriend of one of her friends that had died in a motorcycle accident. The teacher tore the Ouija board apart and the girls claimed to see smoke coming from the glass they had played with, and the friends claimed that Estefania inhaled it. 

The Start of Strange Happenings After the Ouija Board Session

The haunting of the Vallecas apartment began after this incident. Estefania started to suffer from insomnia and she had hallucinations and epileptic seizures no one could explain. Her parents tried to bring her to different hospitals, but nothing seems to work. 

The Haunted Vallecas Case: The tragic death of the teenager Estefania Gutierrez Lazaro from Madrid turned into a paranormal mystery.

Believers of the supernatural came to believe that the young girl was possessed after messing with the occult, something of a satanic panic that were common in the 80s and 90s. One of the theories was that the grandfather of the family wanted to take revenge on his daughter as they didn’t end things on good terms. 

She claimed she saw shadows of strange human forms in the night. They had no face and asked her to come with them. To where they were taking her she was unsure of.

The strange things continued to escalate to July 13th in 1991 when she attacked her sister Magdalena. The next day, Estefania had a seizure and was taken to the Gregorio Maraño Hospital in Madrid when she was already in a coma. She died the very same night, although the autopsy remained inconclusive and claimed it was a sudden and suspicious death. 

The Haunting of the Family of Estefania Gutierrez Lazaro

But the strange things in the apartment didn’t stop after Estefanias death. On the contrary, it escalated until it drove the family from their home. 

Soon after, the family claimed to hear strange noises coming from inside the walls of their apartment. They heard knocking, scratching, and even whispers. According to Juan Pedro, the sounds were so loud that they could be heard throughout the building. The family also claimed to see strange shadows moving around their home, and objects began to move on their own.

The mother climbed to hear the screaming voice of Estefania that called for her, as well as what sounded like an old man laughing. 

Glass would break, doors would open and close and objects would move, all without anyone touching it. The daughters would wake up with their wrists slammed against the wall. In 1992 Gutierrez called the police and a team led by inspector Jose Negri arrived on November 27th. The parents and children had run out of the building, even though it was pouring rain, they were terrified. They claimed that a huge shadow was watching them from the hallway and their crucifixes in the house moved. 

The Investigation of the Vallecas Case Begins

The police went into the apartment and started the investigation. It is this report that has caught the attention of occultists ever since. The police claimed that the wardrobe door opened by itself, even though it was locked, and almost hit the face of one of the agents. 

Loud noises came from the balcony, even though there was no one there. Strangest was the brown slime that hung on a bedside table no one knew where it came from. 

A crucifix that hung on the wall kept falling down to the ground. The police officers left the scene soon after, knowing that they couldn’t do anything about it. 

Two years after Estefania Gutierrez Lazaro death, on the 1st of November in 1993, a picture of her that hung on the wall in the living room caught fire. Only her face. The frame or other objects weren’t burned. The family soon sold the apartment and moved away. The people that took over are said to never have experienced something similar. 

Haunting After her Death: After Estefanía’s death, paranormal phenomena intensified in the Vallecas apartment. Concepción claimed to have seen upside-down crucifixes , glass shattering for no apparent reason, and heard her deceased daughter’s voice. Doors opening and closing on their own were common occurrences.

What Really Happened in the Vallecas Apartment?

Although the Vallecas case is one of the more famous cases to explore paranormal phenomena in Spain, there have also been put forward other theories to explain it all. As one of the taxi drivers in the neighborhood said once: They often talked about the case and agreed that there was something wrong with the family.

The first thing is the psychological factors that were at play within the family. Her mother was examined and she was found emotionally unstable and anxious with a need for attention. Could she have something to do with the hauntings that happened? Could she have exaggerated their experiences, or at worst, even constructed some of them?

An interesting thing is that when they interviewed Ricardo and Maximiliano Gutierres, two of Estefanas brothers, they rejected the idea that she was possessed by the devil. They spoke out about what happened and their sister together with the police inspector in 2018. They said that she had epilepsy, as well as their mother and that there was nothing supernatural about her. 

Crime Scene: Photo from the crime scene at EEstefania Gutierrez Lazaro’s home after her death and the events that occurred there. The medical report only indicated “sudden and suspicious death,” as coroner Pedro Cabezas put it.

Although she wasn’t diagnosed, she was taking medication for it. There were things the brothers were unable to explain, but even the thing about the burned picture they didn’t rule out the possibility that some of their family could be behind. 

Her sister Manuela claims that what they told back then was the real deal and that something more than just an illness had taken hold of their sister and apartment. 

The strange thing is the police investigation who knew nothing of the house before they entered and relayed a lot of what the family had experienced over the years in their official police report. 

The Legacy of the Haunted Vallecas Case

The Haunted Vallecas case has had a lasting impact on paranormal research and investigation. It has become one of the most well-known and studied cases in the field of parapsychology, with many experts using it as a reference point in their work.

The Vallecas case has also inspired countless books, movies, and television shows, with the story of the haunted apartment captivating audiences around the world.

Despite the passage of time, the mystery of the Haunted Vallecas case remains unsolved. It serves as a reminder of the power of the unknown and the enduring fascination that the paranormal holds for so many people.

The Netflix Movie Veronica

The events of the Vallecas Case and the death of Estefania Gutierrez Lazaro inspired the movie Veronica from 2017 from Netflix. It was made by Paco Plaza and gained huge popularity and renewed interest in the strange case. 

Veronica the Movie: Vallecas case was also the inspiration for the Netflix movie from 2017 with Sandra Escacena playing Estefania Gutierrez Lazaro.

The events detailed in the movie are based on the case, but of course have taken different liberties to tell a different kind of story. 

Conclusion of the Vallecas Case

The strange occurrences that took place in that small apartment in Madrid continue to baffle investigators and skeptics alike, with no clear explanation for the haunting. The case serves as a reminder of the enduring fascination that the paranormal holds for so many people. It also highlights the importance of rigorous scientific investigation when it comes to studying the unknown.

Cristalina’s Haunted Banyan Tree in Saligao Village

1 Comment
Advertisements

In the quaint Saligao Village in Goa, there is a Banyan Tree by the road. According to legend, the tree is haunted by the ghost of Cristalina, waiting for those passing by to possess. 

One Sunday morning in January in 1953, the villagers of Saligao in Goa, India, sat waiting on the priest leading the mass. 

The missionary Padre Inácio Lourenço Pereira had come to this quaint little village from Portugal in 1951 to be the supervisor when the Saligao-Pilerne Seminary went under construction in 1952. The Saligao village is around 15 kilometers outside of Panaji known for its beautiful churches.

Pereira was at least said to have gone missing under mysterious circumstances on a Saturday night in January, 1953 when he went for a walk down the Seminary road that took him past the banyan tree at night. 

This particular banyan tree in Saligao Village with its deep roots casting long shadows was known to be haunted though, by a woman named Cristalina, and avoided by the locals. But did Pereira know this as he used to walk past it to get to church?

He didn’t return that night and didn’t show up for mass the next morning. When Pereira was eventually found by some workers the next morning, it was under this banyan tree where he lay unconscious. When his helping hand, Frank and the other workers that looked for him found him, he laid flat on the ground, his face buried in the mud.

Pereira was in a state of shock when he finally woke up, covered in scratches and wounds, unable to recall the full details of his ordeal. 

The locals of Saligao Village took him to a doctor, or at least his house, but he didn’t speak for four days. They even brought a priest to take care of him and Frank and the other workers attached a cross in one of the Banyan Trees branches. 

When he first started to speak, it was said it was in a female voice and in Konkani, one of the Indian languages spoken along the western coast of India. One of the things he repeated over and over again, was the name, Cristalina.

After the whole ordeal he was admitted to a hospital and then sent back to Leiria in Portugal in 1953. He never returned to Saligao Village or Goa, but his legend certainly remained there. 

Cristalina Haunting the Banyan Tree

For over sixty years, her spectral presence has been associated with a particular banyan tree in the Saligao Village. It is said that still to this day, people are avoiding walking past this tree after dark, as it is said that Cristalina can possess you, as she once did.

From testimonies from locals, it looks like the banyan tree was already rumored to be haunted by the ghost of Cristalina before the possession of the priest. But how much of it actually happened, and how much of it was gossip and fear mongering from the locals?

Who actually was Cristalina? One of the most told versions of the Banyan tree is that she hanged herself from it. But no further details about who she might be has been found. 

Further Haunting of Cristalina’s Banyan Tree

It was especially when the horizontal part of the cross went missing from the branches in the tree that the legend resurfaced and breathed new wind into it as something more than a one time haunting. Ever since then it has become a local legend in Saligao Village.

There have also been talks about the tree glowing in the dark, and the tree itself has been the case of scientific studies. What really happened to it? According to the scholars, they claimed the lights were from carts of petromax lights that were parked near the tree. 

Banyan Tree and why they are Haunted

But what about the tree found in Saligao Village? How come so many ghost stories are connected to the majestic looking Banyan Trees as well as Peepal Trees in India?

For one, they have spiritual connection with mythology, both Hindu and Buddhist, and are seen as sort of divine places. There are also many legends attached to the old trees with its twisting branches, often found in secluded areas                 

One popular legend is that you are not supposed to sit under one of these trees at night because ghosts and other supernatural things live there.

It is also worth noting the scientific reason for the spiritual things that are said to happen when staying at one of these trees at night and that it can be explained by simple biology. During the day the tree absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen because of the sun. During night however, it releases the carbon dioxide that lowers the levels of oxygen human needs to breathe.

This process can feel suffocating, lead to hallucinations, and in worst case scenarios, even death. Could this be the reason why there are so many stories connected to seeing ghosts, hearing voices and even reaching some sort of enlightenment? Could this have a connection to what happened to Padre Inácio Lourenço Pereira?

The Haunted Saligao Village

The eerie tales of Saligao Village have made it a point of interest for paranormal enthusiasts and curious tourists. Despite the fearsome stories, the Saligao Village remains a beautiful example of Goan heritage, with its well-preserved churches and traditional houses.

Visitors to Saligao often report strange occurrences near the banyan tree. Some have felt an inexplicable chill in the air, while others have heard whispers and seen fleeting shadows. 

The locals practicing both various Hindi and Christian rituals have tried to appease the ghost of Cristalina by having built a small altar where they offer gifts to her. According to the Hindu villagers living close to this haunted tree, they call the spirit, Ximecho Devchar or Boundary Devil.

The True Story Behind Death Whisperer — The Hit Thai Horror Movie of Tee Yod

Leave a comment
Advertisements

After being a hit movie in its native country, Death Whisperer came to Netflix for the international audience as well. But did you know that this story is supposedly based on a true story that really happened in rural Thailand decades ago?

Death Whisperer: Released in 2023.

“Death Whisperer,” also known as “Tee Yod,” (ธี่หยด) is a 2023 Thai supernatural horror film based on Krittanon’s novel of the same name. Directed by Thaweewat Wanta, the movie “Death Whisperer,” features a cast including Nadech Kugimiya, Rattanawadee Wongthong, Denise Jelilcha Kapaun, Karj-bundit Jaidee, Peerakit Patcharabunyakiat, Arisara Wongchalee, and Paramet Noi-um. 

Set in a remote village in 1972, the plot of “Death Whisperer” revolves around a farmer family plagued by mysterious deaths and the illness of a young girl, Yam, in a remote village in Kanchanaburi province.

They then have several encounters with a ghostly woman in black and keeps hearing a mysterious voice, sounding like something resembling a prayer or unintelligible words like “Tee Yod…” As the supernatural threat escalates, the eldest son, Yak, a former soldier, returns home to confront the chilling forces at play and protect his family.

The Story Behind the Movie “Death Whisperer”

“Death Whisperer” is based on a horror story posted on Thai discussion forum, Pantip.com in late May 2015, which had over 2,000 comments and forwarded 130,000 times. The original thread still looks like it is up, although it has seen some modification. Check the whole thread in Thai here.

The story was first called “Ghost Fever… Let’s Hear My Secrets” and was rewritten into a novel released in 2017 by the same author, Kittisak Kittiwirayanont under the pseudonym “Kritanon”. A few months before the film “Death Whisperer” was released, it was also told again on a popular ghost program on the radio station. 

The term “Tee Yod”, originating from a mysterious woman in black dress, remains enigmatic in both its meaning and linguistic origin. It has been suggested that it might be the Mon language, in connection with the Ohm mantra, and the story itself has many parts of Thai folklore behind it. However, Ong Bunjoon, an expert in Mon arts and culture says that this word has no meaning. Moreover, he himself had never heard this word before.

It is said that Khun Kit’s own mother who the story is told through was also unfamiliar with the source of the noise and the mantra that sounded like Tee Yod, and although it has persisted all this time, it is likely that the spellings of the word “Tee Yod” have become distorted over time. Even if they didn’t know what it meant, they kept insisting that they heard it being called by an entity, over and over again. 

Death Whisperer: A family is tormented by an entity after one of the daughters falls ill. The story is now a movie known as Death Whisperer, otherwise known as Tee Yod,” (ธี่หยด) , and is allegedly based on a true story.

The True Ghost Story of Tee Yod

So what really happened that time? Although we don’t really have it retold before it appeared in the internet forum, the story follows the “Death Whisperer” pretty closely. Krittanon, the author behind Tee Yod claims that it is a true story that happened to his mother’s family in the past when she was 15 or 16 years old in a province in the central region. And although speculations online have been going on, the actual place has remained pretty secret.

His mother had a lot of siblings and they would walk through rice fields and wilderness for kilometers for hours every day to get to school, as they lived out in the countryside and were a part of a farmer family. On their way there was a tree with an old wooden shrine they had to walk past and his mother raised her hand for worship every time they walked by it. 

One evening while they were walking by the shrine, they saw a woman standing next to it. She looked middle aged with shoulder length hair and wore black clothes. Although the girls didn’t think much of it at the time, the mother claims that the woman was staring at them, smiling. 

The Woman in Black: In the movie, Death Whisperer, we follow a family going through something strange. After seeing a strange older woman watching them by a shrine, she kept coming to the family, haunting them as if wanting to possess one of the daughters.

Her younger sister Yam got ill that evening and the next morning, it didn’t get any better and had to stay home from school. During the night Yam started to behave strangely, startling and screaming to her mother that someone was coming for her to harm her. When they got her to the doctor, they told her it was a flu that would pass. It didn’t though. 

They then called for another medicine man, more on the traditional side. He started to give herbal medicine, at first not believing when she kept insisting that someone was out to hurt her and said it was all a dream.

The medicine man did advise to not let strangers come by though, as their extended family came for a visit. Then Yam saw her again, the old woman standing outside their door, still smiling. But this time, the doctor saw her as well and started shouting at her, telling her not to smile and never come back. 

The smiling woman walked smiling away and the family was left shocked. Had it not all been a nightmare caused by her fever? The medicine man asked if they knew the woman, they told him they did not. 

The medicine man then said that the old woman most likely was used as some type of vessel, distorted and unnatural and if she ever came back, they had to chase her away. Under no circumstances could she enter the house. Could she be possessed by something evil?

Then strange things started to happen inside of the house. Yam started to sleepwalk, her fever gone, but her personality somehow… changed. She went for long periods without speaking to her family members, refused to go to school and stared at her siblings as they tried to sleep, freaking them out. She had the same strange smiling expression as the old lady had given them and it scared them all. 

All the while the daughter in the family acted strangely, they started hearing this sound, almost like a prayer or a mantra being repeated in the night, although no one was to be seen. The mantra sounded something like Tee Yod.  

One night, the parents had to travel out of town for a wedding, and left the eldest brother back from the military in charge of the rest of his siblings. During the night they heard laughter and whistling in the house as well as the same mantra being repeated over and over again. Tee Yod… Tee Yod…

The older brothers went outside and the little sisters were inside the house, listening as they fired gunshots against a woman standing still in the dark, only seen when they pointed a flashlight at her. The old woman appeared every night, etching closer and closer, only seen in the light of the flashlight, leaving only footprints in the grass. Even when they shot at her, she still came back. 

Tee Yod: The woman that kept haunting the family in the movie Death Whisperer as well from the original story on the online forum kept repeating a mantra that no one has ever figured out the meaning behind.

Now, she started to come even during the day, and one day when the parents had returned they found her standing over Yam in her room. The mother threw a bucket of water at her, screaming she had to leave her house. The old woman obliged, smiling her creepy smile and left. 

They brought the same medicine man back and when he asked Yam how she felt, she told her she wasn’t Yam. He then told the parents he suspected that Yam was being eaten by a sort of spirit or ghoul of a woman who lived not far from there and that he had heard stories about this woman wearing black from others as well.  

When they visited the old lady, they found her lying on the mat with a cloth covering her face with her family around her. She was dead, covered with bruises and cuts. 

But the death of the old lady, was not the end of the strange things happening. And the same mantra was whispered in the night, and the family had to protect themselves against the danger lurking outside of their home, wanting to get in. They would hear the voices of family members, claiming to be them to open the door. 

The haunting continued until they found the source of the bamboo bush that had appeared when the old woman appeared. When they cut it up, they claimed something rotten and slimy, like organs hidden inside of the bamboo fields around the house. Humans or animals, who knows. They burned it all down.

This together with taking her to a bigger hospital looked for a couple of days to be helping. They started to wonder about her pains could be something physical, not the paranormal theories that had consumed the family for the past weeks. They did however find that her organs were severely damaged.

That was until one day at the hospital, the strange symptoms that had consumed Yam returned, this time she would not recover. And in the hallway of the hospital they saw the woman wearing the same dark clothes, smiling. 

The Enduring Mystery of Tee Yod

Yam never made it back from the hospital and sadly died of her injuries, and rumors about what had happened spread. What really happened remained a mystery and the truth perhaps will get even more diluted when “Death Whisperer” was released. What illness did Yam really have, who was the old lady that kept coming to their house, and what were the things they found in the bamboo field?

Also what really did Tee Yod means, and did it have any connections to the strange shrine they first saw the old woman, that eventually got torn down according to the author. 

Many of the answers will never be given, especially since the author himself doesn’t have all the answers.
