The Vallecas case

The Vallecas case began in 1991 when Estefanía Gutiérrez Lázaro, an 18-year-old girl interested in the supernatural, played the Ouija board with some friends in the bathroom of Colegio Aragón.

Estefanía's family consisted of a father, mother, and six children, of whom Estefanía was the third in order of birth. They lived on Luis Marín street number 8 in the Madrid neighborhood of Vallecas.

In the weeks following the ouija session, Estefanía began to suffer seizures, seizures, and visions. Her parents took her to various hospitals but no one was able to discern what was happening to her.

Estefanía claimed to have nocturnal visions of a group of men around her bed, without facial features, asking her to go with them. Her mother attributed everything to her father, the young woman's grandfather, who had recently died and who had a particular fondness for his granddaughter and had promised to create problems for them.

On the last day of his life, he lunged violently at one of his sisters and fell senseless, foaming at the mouth, leading some to venture that he may have suffered from a rare type of epilepsy. He had never had such a violent attack, according to the family.

In August 1991, when she returned home after going out with her boyfriend, she suffered a seizure and entered the Gregorio Marañón Hospital in a coma. He never woke up again. The cause of death was attributed to "pulmonary asphyxia", although his doctors believed it to be "sudden and suspicious".

The following year, in 1992, the family erected an altar to Estefanía in the house. Everyone began to experience strange events, including the spontaneous combustion of a photograph of the deceased, an event that occurs in the film at a different time, and the nocturnal visit of a tall, black figure.

At dawn on November 27, the father called the police and received her on the street, despite it being a cold night. Chief Inspector José Pedro Negri and three officers entered the house, where they experienced inexplicable events that they would later describe as "a situation of mystery and rarity." They had to leave before registration was completed and Negri was discharged from the Corps shortly after.

Among the events mentioned in the police report are furniture that opened by itself, torn walls, unjustified rumblings on the terrace, a Christ separated from his cross and a brown stain on a table, identified as "slime." Negri says he felt an inexplicable cold when entering the bathroom.

The paranormal events gradually subsided, some believe after the exhumation of the body in October 1996. The family sold the house and the new tenants have never witnessed anything.

The Cuarto Milenio team dedicated a special to the case and went to record at the new house of the Gutiérrez Lázaro family. He assures that, during the recording of an interview with Estefanía's parents, voices entered the audio that murmured: "I can't", "Leave her, she's moron" and "Be careful, we haven't started."
