here on Madam Strange Ways.

21
00:01:55,060 --> 00:02:04,740
Experience with a doppelganger
by Ivan X-29 To this day, this

22
00:02:04,740 --> 00:02:10,100
story has puzzled me to no end.
I should say from the very

23
00:02:10,100 --> 00:02:14,000
beginning that I was really
young, but I remember this

24
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,720
incident vividly because of how
scared I felt.

25
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,880
And my parents have confirmed
some aspects of this story.

26
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,680
So some background.
Born and raised in Miami to

27
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,480
Honduran parents.
So being Hispanic, spiritualism

28
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,560
and religion sort of walk hand
in hand for some.

29
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,800
I grew up in an apartment
building with a huge front yard.

30
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,760
My mother would let me play
outside with our front door open

31
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,400
because she could easily keep an
eye on me, and the front yard

32
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,120
was completely fenced so I
couldn't wander into the street.

33
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:54,120
So on this particular day, I'm
playing outside like any other

34
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,720
normal day and I remember that
my mom is inside cooking like

35
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,680
always.
Our front door is open and I

36
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:06,480
know for sure that my mom is
inside, but that's when I hear

37
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,080
it.
Someone is calling out to me.

38
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,680
I look around and I don't see
anyone, so I continue to play.

39
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,400
But then I hear it again,
someone trying to get my

40
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,840
attention.
I look towards the end of our

41
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:29,600
front yard and behind the fence
I see my mom.

42
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,520
She's standing there waving and
smiling at me, trying to get me

43
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,200
to go to her.
I start laughing and running

44
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,120
towards her because here I am
thinking we were playing a game

45
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:49,080
as I'm closer to this person.
Something doesn't feel right,

46
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,720
like something is telling me not
to trust this person.

47
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,880
But I'm torn because I'm looking
straight at my mother.

48
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:03,560
It's her voice, her face, even
the distinct white streak of

49
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,680
hair my mom has that contrasts
her jet black hair.

50
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,960
But still, something doesn't
feel right.

51
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,480
I asked her what she's doing on
the other side of the fence, and

52
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:22,320
she tells me that we have to go,
that I need to follow her now.

53
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,880
She starts to walk towards the
fence door, and I begin to

54
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:33,680
follow her.
Almost entranced, she begins to

55
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,440
tell me how much she loves me
and that we need to leave

56
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,960
together.
As we get closer to the fence

57
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:46,320
door, she starts to tell me that
I have to open it and walk out

58
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,680
to be with her.
I don't know what overcame me

59
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:55,400
but I said no.
This upset my mom and her

60
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,560
demeanor changed.
She starts to yell that I had to

61
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:05,680
do it, that we needed to be
together and now this scares me

62
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,120
and I began to cry and then I
hear it.

63
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:16,520
My mom's voice coming from my
house asking where I am.

64
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,600
I run towards my house bawling
in hysterics.

65
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,360
I see my real mother and I hug
her and I tell her what

66
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,320
happened.
I tell her about the lady that

67
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:33,560
looked like her trying to get me
to leave and I just remember my

68
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,760
mom hugging me and telling me
that it was just in my

69
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:42,920
imagination.
Years later, this incident comes

70
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:47,560
up in a conversation I'm having
with my parents, and my mom is

71
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,800
completely amazed that I
remembered all of it so vividly.

72
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:58,120
She also adds that weird things
used to happen in that building,

73
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:04,640
and that she suspects that the
only reason that thing couldn't

74
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,720
get into the property was
because of an old Cuban lady

75
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:14,080
that lived next to us.
You see, it turns out that she

76
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:19,280
practiced Santeria and she was
constantly blessing the grounds.

77
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,160
So honestly, shout out to that
Lady.

78
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,040
Here's where things take a very
interesting turn.

79
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,160
While me and my mom are
reminiscing about what happened,

80
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:35,880
my father is completely silent
and when we finished, he's in

81
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,280
shock.
He didn't know about this

82
00:06:38,280 --> 00:06:42,960
happening to me and he proceeds
to tell us that when he was a

83
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:48,840
child in Honduras, the same
thing happened to him.

84
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,160
A woman that looked like my
grandmother would sometimes go

85
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:59,600
by his house and tell him that
they needed to leave to be

86
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,160
together.
My father is your typical male,

87
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:08,000
everything by the book, no
nonsense, very skeptical about

88
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:13,320
all of this stuff.
But at that moment, I saw fear

89
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:29,240
in him.
When you're no nonsense skeptic

90
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,200
dad goes pale hearing a story
from your childhood, it's not

91
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,480
good.
It's never good, is it?

92
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,120
That's always, I agree with you.
That's always like the most

93
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,720
chilling point.
Like if you remember something

94
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,120
from your childhood that's
scary.

95
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,880
Like, OK, we all had terrifying
childhoods.

96
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,280
I feel like.
I feel like if you didn't have

97
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,320
some sort of mildly terrifying
thing that happened to you in

98
00:07:52,320 --> 00:08:02,040
childhood, you have blocked it
out of your memory or you are an

99
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:08,320
alien or like an Android and you
aren't aware because children,

100
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,560
childhood is terrifying.
OK, period.

101
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,440
Stop.
Like end of end of sentence.

102
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,200
Childhood is terrifying.
So, you know, like if your mom

103
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,560
is kind of freaked out by
something, I feel like that's

104
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,280
fair.
I feel like, you know, without

105
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,160
getting into gender norms and
broad generalizations or

106
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,840
generalizations about Broads AO
without getting too much into

107
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:35,280
that, I will say I think
typically you do find mothers

108
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,200
are a little bit more open, you
know, to the woo woo than Dad's,

109
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:39,320
right?
I think that is like a

110
00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:44,480
stereotype.
Dad's no nonsense, you know, Oh,

111
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,440
go back to sleep, right.
Like in the last episode where

112
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,200
you've got the partner who's
being woken up saying, I think I

113
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,680
hear someone in the house and he
goes, oh, shut up, go back to

114
00:08:53,680 --> 00:08:54,560
sleep.
I'm tired.

115
00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:57,880
Grumble, grumble.
So when your dad hears a scary

116
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,800
story that he didn't hear about
from your childhood and is only

117
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,840
hearing about now and he it
looks like he just saw a ghost,

118
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,120
like that's going to ruin your
day hearing whatever it is that

119
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,800
he has to say.
Kind of in like a if you if you

120
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,360
listen to this, if you listen to
this show, it's going to ruin

121
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,160
your day in the best way, but
still kind of traumatizing to

122
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:22,480
hear that that is so scary.
Like it's first of all, pause

123
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,480
the whole the whole story is
scary.

124
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:29,840
But then hearing that your dad
experienced the same thing in

125
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:36,840
his childhood in a different
country in Honduras that's so

126
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,600
far away from Miami.
Like in terms of spirits, like,

127
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,760
did it, is this, is this the
same spirit?

128
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,760
Did it follow the family?
Just there's so many questions.

129
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:53,320
But first of all, what is this?
Is it a doppelganger?

130
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,880
I know we've all heard that word
before.

131
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,480
I've even talked about them on
the show.

132
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,920
But there's more than one kind
of doppelganger.

133
00:09:59,920 --> 00:10:03,280
They're not all German, so
doppelganger the phrase is a

134
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:07,040
borrow word from German.
And I know I love talking about

135
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,000
umlauts.
Like there should be an umlaut

136
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,080
on this word.
Well there is on the word

137
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:15,800
doppelganger over the AI don't
fully understand the purpose of

138
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,520
an umlaut.
I just like the aesthetic of

139
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,200
them.
So the word in German

140
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:25,320
doppelganger means double goer
and the term itself is coined in

141
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,880
the late 18th century.
However, the concept of a

142
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:35,240
doppelganger, the concept of
seeing someone who looks exactly

143
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:40,920
like someone else but isn't them
and in general is also kind of a

144
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,680
bad vibe that goes back
thousands of years all the way

145
00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:51,320
back to ancient Egypt where
they've got the Ka, which is

146
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,800
like, this is how it's
described, an invisible twin

147
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,880
spirit that mirrored the
physical body.

148
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,640
I don't fully track it, but you
can tell that this goes back

149
00:11:00,680 --> 00:11:04,400
really far because remember
around zero ad.

150
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,960
Now listen, this is not, these
are not, these are not solid

151
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,480
numbers.
I'm not trying to get derailed

152
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,200
here.
I'm just saying this is kind of

153
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,280
how I remember where things in
history happened.

154
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:18,640
Around 0AD you had Cleopatra,
right?

155
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:25,360
And then around like over 2000
years before that, the ancient

156
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,360
pyramids were built and they
weren't ancient at the time.

157
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,960
Anyway, all to say, that goes
back really far.

158
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:36,600
OK, so humans have had the
concept of a doppelganger just

159
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:41,280
using different terms forever.
And it also crosses cultures.

160
00:11:41,560 --> 00:11:44,160
You've got mentions of them
obviously in Egypt.

161
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:48,160
You've got them in European, all
over Europe, Africa, all over

162
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,000
Africa.
We've even talked about

163
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:56,080
specifically the Norse Vadoga in
a previous episode, 1 of the

164
00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:00,120
early episodes I talked about
that type of doppelganger

165
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,840
specifically, which is one of
the non malicious doppelgangers

166
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,000
that is someone that appears,
well, it's a doppelganger that

167
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,960
appears kind of before the real
person shows up.

168
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,240
So you think you hear someone
arrive home, you hear all of the

169
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,320
sounds they normally make.
You hear the door shut and then

170
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,800
you're like hey, hello.
And they're not home.

171
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,040
And then 20 minutes later they
come home and make the exact

172
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,120
same sounds.
But that was the Vadoga arriving

173
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,440
before they did anyway.
Then you've also like, you've

174
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,080
got all these different kinds.
And most of them, though, are

175
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,720
generally, most doppelgangers,
are generally harbingers of

176
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,480
death or doom.
They're not good.

177
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,200
I've also read, you know, of
course, you know how

178
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:44,120
spiritualism and and the rule of
3 is really big, right?

179
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:48,560
So if you see a doppelganger 3
times, it means you or someone

180
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:51,520
else is going to die.
That's bad news.

181
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,960
Okay, but listen, does that
kind, does that sound like the

182
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:59,480
story that we just heard?
Because to me, it doesn't to me,

183
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:04,160
the concept of a doppelganger is
obviously like, yes, that's in

184
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:08,840
this story because I even saw
his mom, Ivan, you saw your mom

185
00:13:09,680 --> 00:13:12,760
complete with that like white
streak of, of hair.

186
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,400
You know, you know, it was her.
You know what your mom looks

187
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:16,840
like.
Even when you're a kid, you, you

188
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,200
know what your mom looks like.
So yes, that aspect is kind of

189
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,760
doppelgangery.
However, because this story

190
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:31,800
happened in Miami, FL to an
Andre and family and especially

191
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:39,200
in Miami where you've got 70% of
the city is Latino and so I

192
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,920
don't think we should be looking
at German concepts of

193
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:48,000
doppelgangers.
You know, I feel like let's look

194
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:53,280
at what's going on in South
America with regards to

195
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,960
doppelgangers and of course
they're not called doppelgangers

196
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,480
there because that's a German
word, although maybe in

197
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,120
Argentina.
OK, we're not going to get into

198
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:01,880
it.
Let's stay focused.

199
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:08,600
So y'all, my jaw dropped when I
did just a little bit of

200
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:14,640
research into this dropped.
So I ran across something called

201
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:21,440
La Tunda who is a shape shifting
entity who resembles a human

202
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:26,760
woman that lures people into
forests and keeps them there.

203
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,160
OK Ding Ding Ding.
I'm at this point I'm reading

204
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,240
this entry and I'm like, this is
it.

205
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,000
But hold on because because get
a load of this.

206
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,720
La Tunda is described as being
capable of changing its shape to

207
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:46,080
appear in the form of a loved
one, such as in the likeness of

208
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:51,520
a child's mother to lure its
victims into the forest and feed

209
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,520
them with shrimp.
OK, well, hold on.

210
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,360
We're going to.
Let's pause because holy crap.

211
00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,960
That's exactly what happened.
I don't know if there was shrimp

212
00:14:59,960 --> 00:15:01,840
involved.
OK, so I shouldn't have read

213
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,280
that far.
I should have paused for

214
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,520
dramatic effect after a child's
mother, because that's crazy.

215
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:11,720
The La Tunda can shape shift
into the likeness of a child's

216
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:16,880
mother to lure its victims.
That's crazy, like jaw on the

217
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,160
floor like that's her, that's
our girl.

218
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,440
That's exactly who Ivan saw is a
la Tunda.

219
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:30,960
I guess I would say listen, it
also just says in English la

220
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,160
Tunda.
So we're just going to roll with

221
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,040
it.
So la Tunda apparently though

222
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,280
keep this in mind.
Her shape shifting abilities are

223
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:45,320
not perfect, so you may think,
what is the nose different?

224
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:52,400
No, no, no La Tunda.
La Tunda has a wooden lake which

225
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:56,480
is in the shape of a moneal,
which is a wooden kitchen

226
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:01,560
utensil used to stir hot drinks
such as chocolate or agua

227
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:06,080
panella.
OK, that's really, that's really

228
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:11,120
specific and strange, but
apparently Latunda wants to hide

229
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:12,880
that.
And so it, you know, wants to

230
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,600
make sure that you can't see
It's it's it's wooden spoon

231
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,600
like.
But here's the thing.

232
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:25,720
This is what killed me.
When Ivan saw his mom, it was on

233
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,240
the other side of a fence.
Bro.

234
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,080
She came down in a bubble dog.
Like she was on the other side

235
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,120
of a fence.
And so presumably the fence

236
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,960
would at least partially obscure
her legs.

237
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:44,080
Isn't that crazy?
That's crazy.

238
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,280
Oh my God.
Like the only thing that's not

239
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:53,280
100% exact to the concept of la
tunda is the shrimp.

240
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:59,800
Like Ivan, let me know.
Ivan, send me Adm let me know if

241
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,520
there was shrimp involved.
Like did she promise you shrimp?

242
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,160
Did she didn't try to entice you
with shrimp, Although I guess

243
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:11,480
it's possible that like once she
gets you into the forest at that

244
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,520
point, that's when she's feeding
you shrimp.

245
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:18,440
And supposedly the concept of
the reason she's feeding you

246
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:24,680
shrimp is to keep you docile.
I don't know is that is that is

247
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,880
shrimp known for making people
tussle?

248
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,680
I and also like I'm saying,
docile and I'm like, is it

249
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,440
docile?
Well, e-mail me at

250
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:40,000
madamstrangeways@gmail.com.
Let me know how you how you

251
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,800
pronounce that word.
But also I'm going to just be a

252
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,880
12 year old boy for a second
because it specifies that the

253
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:54,600
shrimp is specifically referred
to as camarones pinedos.

254
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,400
I don't know if I pronounce that
right.

255
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:58,520
And I was like, what does that
mean?

256
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,280
Like I just kind of want to know
what kind of shrimp that is.

257
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:05,760
So I plug it into Google
Translate, which is way better

258
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:10,360
than it used to be.
But apparently, like La Tunda

259
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:15,640
with its shape shifting ability,
it is also imperfect because why

260
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:22,840
did I put in Camorones Pinedos
and it said that the English

261
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:28,600
translation is penis shrimp.
Penis shrimp.

262
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:35,000
Yep, That's not the translation.
It's actually referring to like

263
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:40,880
penne de like it's Latin, like
it's a type of it's like tiger

264
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,040
prawns.
It's like the family of shrimp

265
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,400
that involves tiger prawns.
So I don't know why it

266
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,120
translated, but it's just not
what I was expecting.

267
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,320
So that's not that's that has
nothing to do with it.

268
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:57,680
It's just shrimp or prawns.
So honestly this sounds like a

269
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,360
pretty good time.
I don't know why she needs to

270
00:19:00,360 --> 00:19:05,360
lure you to the forest.
She could just say like with the

271
00:19:05,360 --> 00:19:09,160
price of groceries, shrimp is a
luxury item at this point.

272
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,800
Especially prawns like tiger
prawns.

273
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:16,600
You don't need to lure anyone.
You just need to say free prawns

274
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:22,960
in the forest and come on.
I'm there, I'm there.

275
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:29,120
Well, you know what?
BYOCSI will bring my own

276
00:19:29,120 --> 00:19:32,720
cocktail sauce and lemons.
I'm there.

277
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,400
I don't think it sounds like a
very bad time.

278
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:41,360
Oh, except that the reason that
she's luring you and the reason

279
00:19:41,360 --> 00:19:47,200
that she is wanting to keep you
docile question mark, I think is

280
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:52,040
to suck your blood and devour
you whole.

281
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,240
So that doesn't sound like a
good time.

282
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,240
You know, maybe she's feeding
you shrimp because she wants you

283
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:02,720
to be tasty and and well, I
don't think it's very fattening.

284
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,200
I think it's got a lot of salt.
That's what it is.

285
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,280
She's trying to flavor you from
the inside.

286
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,840
You eat a lot of shrimp.
It's a very rich food.

287
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:15,760
OK, OK, I'm following.
I can't blame her.

288
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,400
So that's, that's the, that's La
Tunda.

289
00:20:21,120 --> 00:20:27,240
So an entity who shape shifts
into loved ones, potentially

290
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,840
children's mothers, to lure its
victims into the forest to feed

291
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,800
them shrimp and then devour them
and suck their blood.

292
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:39,560
God forbid a woman has hobbies.
I don't see the problem.

293
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,600
You know, what is it?
What is it?

294
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,680
Ebenezer says.
And decrease the surplus

295
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:52,960
population because also, by the
way, I should have mentioned

296
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:58,040
that in some versions of
Latunda, it specifically only

297
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,120
appears to male loggers or
hunters.

298
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:06,240
And it's like luring them away
from a work site or, you know,

299
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,760
from their hunting grounds and
it's going to eat them.

300
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:14,280
So, you know, all right, there's
come on, she's branching out.

301
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:20,600
So related to Latunda, I don't
think this is it, but I'm going

302
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:21,880
to share it because it's
interesting.

303
00:21:22,120 --> 00:21:28,200
There's also Lepatosola, which
translates, I think, to single

304
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,120
leg.
So like, what is it?

305
00:21:31,120 --> 00:21:33,280
Hold on.
Why are there all of these

306
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:37,680
supernatural female entities
that either have one leg or they

307
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,160
have a wooden leg?
What is it with the legs?

308
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:44,440
It's very confusing.
So the patasola, which I don't

309
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,640
think this is it because it does
not say that it appears in the

310
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,000
form of like a mom.
Well, hold on.

311
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,240
Here's what it does say is that
the patasola appears in the form

312
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,920
of a beauty.
This is this is Wikipedia.

313
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,880
The patasola appears in the form
of a beautiful, seductive woman,

314
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,760
often in the likeness of a loved
1.

315
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:08,040
So hold on, hold on, she's
trying to lure men away from

316
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,440
his, lure men away from their
companions deep into the jungle,

317
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,400
where of course she will then
reveal her true hideous

318
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,120
appearance as A1 legged creature
with a ferocious vampire like

319
00:22:17,120 --> 00:22:20,440
lust for human flesh and blood.
What is this Rob Zombie?

320
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:24,000
Who is this irresistible
creature who has an insatiable

321
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:28,720
love for the dead?
But let's go back to how it says

322
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,720
the patasola appears in the form
of a beautiful, seductive woman,

323
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,000
often in the likeness of a loved
one.

324
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,280
What are y'all doing?
Don't do that.

325
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:44,000
I I just don't know that there
should be a comma like the

326
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,320
patasola appears in the form of
a beautiful, seductive woman

327
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:52,040
comma in the likeness of a loved
one.

328
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:56,320
No, stop the I there shouldn't
be there shouldn't be the same

329
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:57,840
thought.
It's either like a beautiful,

330
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,360
seductive woman.
Maybe, maybe or maybe we need an

331
00:23:01,360 --> 00:23:05,480
or there or the like miss of a
loved 1.

332
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,800
I don't I don't love it.
I don't love that.

333
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,640
But not getting let's not get
hung up on it.

334
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,080
Here's the thing.
So the Pedisola's most notable

335
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:21,120
feature from which her name
derives is her one leg, which by

336
00:23:21,120 --> 00:23:22,840
the way, is not just a normal
leg.

337
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:30,080
It at the instead of a foot, she
has a cleaved bovine like hoof.

338
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,760
OK.
Oh, OK.

339
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,440
Why?
But also, she's very quick and

340
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,280
she can get around in the forest
really easily.

341
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:46,160
But this is obviously the
Petasola is not what we're

342
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:50,080
dealing with here.
OK, Like if, if we had to pin

343
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:55,960
this on some sort of entity, it
would have to be La Tunda,

344
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:56,840
right?
Come on.

345
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:02,480
So not only did Ivan encounter
La Tunda, but Ivan's dad, we're

346
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:09,040
going to call him Ivan senior.
Ivan senior also experienced La

347
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:13,320
Tunda in Honduras.
Now, OK, La Tunda is apparently

348
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:19,240
specific to Colombia and
Ecuador, but I mean, like, that

349
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,160
doesn't mean anything, you know?
Like what?

350
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:26,800
So she can't take a vacation.
She can't do an eat, pray, love

351
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,600
kind of situation.
Like what?

352
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,080
Why?
Why not?

353
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:34,560
She's a hard working.
She's a hard, she's a hard

354
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,120
working woman out here.
You know, come on.

355
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,240
She's just trying to keep things
fresh.

356
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:44,720
So maybe she takes a little trip
over to Honduras and then meet

357
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,800
your dad.
And then is it the same La

358
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,880
Tunda?
Is it the same one that follows

359
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,840
you to Miami and tries to get
in?

360
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,080
That's creepy.
Like it's, it's kind of, I don't

361
00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:59,760
know.
What's scarier is that there's

362
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,320
enough of these that you've
encountered 2 separate ones or

363
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,720
that it's one that's like a
haunting your family.

364
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:10,240
And then Ivan, if you ever have
a child, you better keep an eye

365
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,080
on that kid.
You got to tell that kid this

366
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,800
story.
Go ahead, tell them from an

367
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:20,640
early age, if you see someone
who looks like your mom, it's

368
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,240
probably not your mom.
How do you how do you prepare

369
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:24,920
them for this without
traumatizing them?

370
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:26,520
So I don't know, let's think
about it.

371
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,720
There's got to be, there's got
to be some.

372
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,480
I guess you just tell the story.
I guess that's the point of

373
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,080
telling these stories, right?
It's to keep people in line.

374
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,120
So I don't know.
We got to figure out how to warn

375
00:25:35,120 --> 00:25:38,360
your future children should you
ever choose to have children.

376
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:43,800
Because doesn't sound good.
Doesn't sound like a fun time.

377
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:50,320
Now your neighbor, the one that
was from Cuba who practiced

378
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:55,120
Santeria?
Now, if you know me, if you've

379
00:25:55,120 --> 00:25:59,200
been here for a previous
episode, you probably know that

380
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,680
I have a problem with having to
sing song lyrics as soon as I

381
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:08,200
hear a word that reminds me of a
song, even if it's not actually

382
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,640
the word from the song.
So let me tell you, ever since

383
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,720
reading this story out loud and
then having to revisit the story

384
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:20,520
I have had, I don't practice
Santeria.

385
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,480
I ain't got no crystal ball, but
I do have a crystal ball because

386
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,240
that's my whole thing is that I
use a crystal ball in order to

387
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:33,400
see to the mysteries of the
ether and beyond the veil.

388
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,040
So I guess it doesn't really
fit, but it's been in my head,

389
00:26:36,360 --> 00:26:41,040
so I don't practice Santeria.
Now, if you're curious, what is

390
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:45,760
Santeria?
So Santeria is incredibly

391
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,360
complex and there's a lot of
stuff, a lot of moving parts.

392
00:26:50,120 --> 00:26:54,280
I am not an expert, however, I
believe it's incredibly

393
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:58,160
important to acknowledge
Santeria's rich history and

394
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:02,680
cultural significance,
especially because it is often

395
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,760
misunderstood and also kind of
villainized as well.

396
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,880
That's a conversation for
another day.

397
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,080
However, it is still in
practice, It's a living

398
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,920
tradition and it has deep
spiritual roots that have

399
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,560
evolved over many centuries
leading back all all the way.

400
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:25,080
OK, I'm getting ahead of myself.
The point is, I I am not an

401
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,000
expert.
However, I would be remiss not

402
00:27:28,360 --> 00:27:32,000
including a little bit of
background on Santeria.

403
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:36,280
So the Cuban neighbor in this
story that Ivan told the Cuban

404
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:41,120
neighbor that was practicing
Santeria and is the reason why

405
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:46,840
Ivan's mom thinks that they were
protected because of the

406
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,640
protective spells that she was
doing.

407
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,520
Santeria, which is otherwise
known as the Way of the Saints,

408
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:58,480
is an Afro Caribbean religion
that developed in Cuba, blending

409
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:03,320
Yoruba spiritual traditions from
West Africa with Catholicism.

410
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:08,560
Oh, OK, well, but hold on, you
may be wondering, where are we

411
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:13,960
talking about African African
spiritual traditions if we're in

412
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:19,040
Cuba?
Well, boy, if I got some bad

413
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:24,120
news for you.
So, OK, this is what I'm saying.

414
00:28:24,120 --> 00:28:28,360
This is difficult to just to
just scratch the surface of OK,

415
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:33,720
1492, this is OK.
I'm going to rein it in.

416
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:35,680
We're going to stick to bullet
points here.

417
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:42,800
OK, Columbus found Cuba.
Spanish settlers went to Cuba,

418
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:47,280
Spanish settlers established
sugar plantations which required

419
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:54,240
significant labor, and oops, the
Spaniards accidentally decimated

420
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,760
the population of indigenous
people of Cuba with their

421
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,400
diseases, with their Spanish
diseases that they brought from

422
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:05,600
Barcelona to Cuba.
So not great.

423
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:10,920
They needed more labor and they
certainly weren't going to do it

424
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:15,480
themselves.
So instead they enslaved W

425
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:19,240
Africans specifically via
chattel slavery.

426
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:25,080
Put them on ships, brought them
against their will to to Cuba to

427
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:30,640
work on the plantations.
So that is how Yoruba spiritual

428
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:34,880
beliefs from West Africa
specifically mixed with the

429
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:39,680
Super super Catholic Spaniards
beliefs of, you know,

430
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:43,520
Catholicism.
So Catholicism plus Yoruba

431
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,920
spiritual practices equals
Santeria.

432
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:52,200
Now, we may never know what the
Cuban neighbor did specifically

433
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,520
to protect the area that they
lived.

434
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:59,640
However, here's some you might
say Santeria 101 tips.

435
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:03,480
So you can use Cascadia, which
is just powdered egg shell.

436
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:09,080
So literally egg shell that you
dry either like in a low oven or

437
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,560
you know, whatever.
And then you actually grind it

438
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,520
into a powder.
So you can use that powder to

439
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:19,000
draw sacred symbols like on the
floor or around doorways, or you

440
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:23,520
can even sprinkle it around
corners or around entrances,

441
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,280
like for instance, around a
fence, just as a thought.

442
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,640
Of course, there's also prayers
that they're making to the

443
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,440
Saints and the orishas.
Of course, it could just be

444
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:37,000
that.
And then my favorite is Florida

445
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:43,400
Water, which is not water from a
tap in Florida, but it's

446
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:48,760
actually, it's a, I guess you
could describe it as like a

447
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:53,080
spiritual Cologne, like a
cleansing spiritual Cologne.

448
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,880
It's made-up of Bergamo or
bergamot, you know, I guess

449
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,680
whatever floats your boat.
Lavender, lemon, clove,

450
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,840
cinnamon, neroli, Jasmine, Musk,
alcohol and rose water.

451
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,600
You can add some Florida Water
to your like mop mix when you're

452
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,720
mopping and that's supposed to
also cleanse the house, cleanse

453
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,120
the area.
You can also sprinkle it just

454
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,240
around the corners and around
entrances and such, just like

455
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,560
the Cascadia, just like the
eggshell.

456
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,320
So lots of things that the
neighbor could have done as a

457
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:26,720
protection in order to keep that
doppelganger slash, la tundra

458
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,240
slash, maybe just a kidnapper at
Bay.

459
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:34,760
I know that typically I do like
to try to explain from a more

460
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,440
naturalistic standpoint, you
know, a more mundane standpoint.

461
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:42,520
What is it that happened?
How can we explain it in a way

462
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:46,200
that's not as traumatic and
terrorizing?

463
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,880
And you know, like, how can we,
how can we do that?

464
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:51,680
Is there a way that we can
explain this?

465
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:57,520
And normally I would say, yes,
you know, Ivan was a child, he

466
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:02,080
misremembered or he this is a
dream that he's confusing with

467
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,320
reality because I've had that
happen before.

468
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,520
Even as an adult.
I've told you guys I've really

469
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:10,720
mundane dreams and sometimes I
have difficulty remembering if

470
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:12,520
it was a dream or if it was real
or not.

471
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:16,200
Like when I forget that I
already bought bread because or

472
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,760
I forget I didn't buy bread
because I dreamt that I bought

473
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,560
bread but I didn't buy bread.
I feel like this is do you wear

474
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,800
vigs like buy bread?
Do you wear vigs?

475
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,960
Do you buy bread?
In my dreams I do in my dreams I

476
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,360
do buy bread and then I forget
to buy bread at the store.

477
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,640
So could it have been that it
was a dream and that over time,

478
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:39,440
like I have mentioned most
recently in the Perrin family

479
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:44,080
haunting an episode about The
Conjuring one, I go into detail

480
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,200
about memory and how memory is
so fallible.

481
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:51,080
And every single time we access
a memory and we remember a

482
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:56,440
memory, our brains are
overwriting the memory it's

483
00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:01,600
saving as, except now it's been
altered a little bit just by the

484
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,800
fact that we've remembered it.
So I feel like, you know, there

485
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,800
could be an explanation there
that, like, over time or maybe

486
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,920
it was a scary movie that Ivan
saw as a kid and then

487
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,200
misremembered as being real.
OK, Yeah.

488
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:18,200
But then how do you explain Dad?
How do you explain Ivan Senior,

489
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,480
who had the exact same thing
happened to him and his

490
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,720
childhood where the same thing
happened.

491
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:31,360
A woman who looked like Ivan
Senior's mom tried to get her to

492
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:35,560
leave with him.
How that's crazy.

493
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:40,160
Like, I mean, I guess here,
here's here's how I could here's

494
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:44,400
how else I could say maybe Ivan
Junior heard that story being

495
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,360
told at some point and kind of
remembered it and then thought

496
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:51,160
it was his own story.
Maybe, maybe.

497
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,840
But it doesn't sound like the
dad shares that story.

498
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,680
In fact, the dad may have never
shared that story with anyone

499
00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:02,960
because if I know anything about
dads with repressed emotions and

500
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:08,520
you know, the slight emotional
Constipation, let's just say if

501
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:12,960
I know anything about that, and
I do, if that's not clear, I bet

502
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,400
dad never talked about that
before.

503
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,960
And so Ivan would have never
heard that story in the 1st

504
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,159
place.
So here's what I'm here's what

505
00:34:20,159 --> 00:34:22,760
I'm going to say.
It's mysterious.

506
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:27,199
That is mysterious.
I truly don't know how to

507
00:34:27,199 --> 00:34:30,199
explain it in a way that doesn't
involve jumping to a bunch of

508
00:34:30,199 --> 00:34:35,360
other conclusions.
Or it was La Tunda following

509
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,480
your family over the years.
And like I said, you better

510
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:43,400
watch out for your future kids,
keep them aware, and maybe,

511
00:34:43,679 --> 00:34:46,760
maybe look into Santeria.
Maybe, maybe do a little bit of

512
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:50,320
dabbling in Santeria just a
little bit, just to be safe.

513
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:05,880
Remember that you can feel
afraid and not be in danger.

514
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:10,800
If you have a true strange story
that you'd like to hear read on

515
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,720
the show, go ahead and send it
to me, Madam

516
00:35:13,720 --> 00:35:17,920
strangeways@gmail.com or Madam
strangeways.com.

517
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:22,600
And since word of mouth is so
important for podcasts, if you

518
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:27,800
could, to me just one little
weird, spooky, strange solid,

519
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:31,160
that would be amazing.
And that would be telling your

520
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:34,280
friends about the show.
I'd really appreciate it.

521
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:38,640
Madame Strangeways is produced
and narrated by me.

522
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:42,360
Madame Strangeways theme music
is by

526
00:36:20,530 --> 00:36:25,130
According to Javier Ocampo
Lopez, when pleased, the

527
00:36:25,130 --> 00:36:29,090
patasola climbs to the top of a
tree or mountain and sings the

528
00:36:29,090 --> 00:36:34,960
following song, sung to the tune
of One hand in my pocket.

529
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:40,680
I'm more than a siren.
I live alone in the world and no

530
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:46,840
one can resist me, baby, because
I'm Parasola on the road, at

531
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:48,960
home, on the mountain and the
river and in the air and in the

532
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:53,000
clouds and all that exists is
mine, mine, mine 'cause I got

533
00:36:53,000 --> 00:37:00,080
one leg and 1 boopy and the
other hand is luring men from

534
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:01,720
their hunting grounds.
