Tonight’s episode is set in a Guatemalan village in 1993. This episode tells the haunting tale of Reina, a woman whose daughter was being visited at night by a terrifying presence speaking in an ancient K’iche’ dialect that nobody could understand or recognize and the disturbance did not stop there. Livestock were mysteriously dying, drained of blood with no visible wounds, leaving the whole family desperate for answers during the spiritually charged All Saints’ Day season.

Fortunately, a neighbor named Consuelo had skills in spiritual practices. Through candle reading (a traditional diagnostic method), she identified the source as an old, restless Mayan spirit. The solution she organized was remarkable in its complexity, weaving together Catholic saints, ancestral veneration, copal incense, and marigolds into a single, unified protective ritual.

Because this account is so richly layered with indigenous and folk traditions blended seamlessly, it rewards careful listening. Tune in to find out what happened next.
