5The Segua: A Malevolent Female Entity

Paco shares a family story about his grandfather, a 'man of old' who enjoyed drinking and gambling. One night, while walking home, he encountered a beautiful woman in white by a body of water. He followed her, noticing she floated without touching the ground. When he finally caught up and touched her shoulder, her face transformed into that of a horse or donkey, revealing her as La Segua (or Ciguana), an entity known to target men with specific vices. His inebriation is credited with saving him from greater harm.

6The Ghost Child in the Funeral Home

A listener's story describes a man at his cousin's wake who befriended a young boy he believed was the son of an ex-girlfriend. After the ex-girlfriend left, the man found the boy still sitting alone. Upon calling the ex-girlfriend, she denied bringing her child.

A funeral home employee revealed that the door led to the refrigeration unit, and a mother and child matching their description had been stored there for weeks.

7Premonition of a Witch's Demise

Dianita shares her mother's premonition of a neighborhood 'witch's' death. Her mother, a premonitor, dreamt of dark figures entering the witch's house, who screamed, 'Go away, I don't want to!' The figures then dragged the screaming witch out by her hair. The next day, the witch died, and her wake was notably empty, contrasting with the usual 'light' visions Dianita's mother experienced for others' deaths.

8The Deceased's Final Veto: Casket Closes on Estranged Wife

Marián shares a story about her uncle Rafael, who died of cancer after being abandoned by his wife, Mercedes. Before his death, Rafael explicitly told his mother he did not want Mercedes at his funeral or near his casket. When Mercedes arrived at the wake, Marián's family confronted her. As Mercedes approached the open casket, the lid slammed shut, nearly hitting her face, and could not be reopened by her, only by Marián later. This was interpreted as Rafael's spirit enforcing his last wish.

9Haitian Tradition: Burying the Dead with Knives to Fight Necromancers

Dianita recounts an influencer friend's experience in Haiti, where she witnessed a deceased person being buried with knives in their casket. Days later, the family returned to the cemetery because the 'dead person had killed someone.' It was revealed that the knives are a tradition to allow the deceased to defend themselves if a necromancer attempts to raise them for witchcraft or enslavement. In this instance, the deceased successfully defended against a necromancer.
