Imagine being that officer. He was probably thinking "OK, I've just got to prove to this kid there are no monsters under the bed, in the closet, or in this cave." And then he became ritually sacrificed like it's 1962 BC. Absolutely fucking crazy.

[@MrBallen]

Seriously. Insane!

[@gannon3578]

And by BC you mean Before Covid 😳

[@keithmayhewhammond5357]

In what is now Mexico, such sacrifices were going on well after BC, such rituals being seen by the Spanish. Many of the commoners actually begged the Spanish for help and joined them in fighting against their rulers to put an end to such madness. And they did. Unfortunately, revisionist anti-historians wish to make the Spanish the 100% villains, when in reality, they were the rescuers. Obviously the Spanish did do bad things once gaining power which is inexcusable. However, I think any reasonable person can admit that as bad as corruption can be, nothing is worse than being under rulers who eat you.

[@entropysmith6965]

That’s why it is important, in situations like that, to take the word of the person at face value until proven otherwise. Even if there is a 95% chance it is nothing, that other 5% can end you. The world is a crazy place and, everyone should always have that in the back of their minds, especially law enforcement. It was the 60’s though, so I can understand the officer being more naive .

The abuse they endured was horrific too. Sexual assault, including against kids. The original scammers sold young girls to traffickers when they were done with them. So they had been primed to follow this woman after a long time of already ritualistic abuse and torture. And then it got worse. This story is truly frightening.

[@griffinparker5559]

Man, imagine how shitty Sebastian felt when he realized that the most awful thing he had ever seen was going to happen to him. Just because he had seen something so twisted that he had no choice but to try to find out what happened. Same for Luis, the police officer. He probably was able to get a bit more information out of Sebastian on his way there and quickly realized how his good deed was going to be punished. I hope the inaction of the other officers haunted them for a long time before they came to terms with how they failed a child and colleague.

[@godnyx117]

I feel so bad for Sebastian. He was only 14, but didn’t turn a blind eye to the horrific things he saw in the cave. Instead, he was courageous enough to keep telling the officers to go check it out, and he even went back there himself too. Extremely sad how the police didn’t take him seriously, probably would have been more prepared to confront the cave rather than sending one police officer

[@timdeathly]

Like he said he was illiterate. If a kid went to the Police basically anywhere and all he could say is there a vampires and it's bad I'm sure they also wouldn't take it very seriously.

[@redheadwithafierytemper5668]

@@timdeathly I think the police should at least check something out when a child is practically begging someone to listen to them. When my daughter was in high school a few people she knew fully believed they were werewolves, vampires and Lichen's. Something happened at school and one of the kids hard a razor blade and was cutting themselves in the restroom. My daughter raises the alarm after trying unsuccessfully to try to get her to stop and hearing her say she planned to take her own life. The school hauled a bunch of these people into the office as well as the girl and they pretend to have no clue what they were talking about. I had heard about some of this first hand as well and went to the school to inform the principal and at first he thought I was psychotic. But I told him to call the girl in while I was there and he did. She came in and after a couple of minutes she broke down and admitted she was trying to kill herself and she was sacrificing herself for their little "coven". I look over at the principal and said "glad I could do your job for you". People need to listen more to children and not just think they are full of "sh**.

Regardless of their age, it really doesn't take a scientist to see when someone is distressed. You can quite clearly tell when someone is trying to get help. These cops in this story were just lazy and didn't want to bother- that's really all it boils down to. I feel bad for the kid though, he tried hard to do the right thing. He didn't deserve what happened to him. At least *one* of those cops took him seriously... but still, they really should have sent more than a boy and one cop to check on a potentially violent scene.

And if anybody is Mexican or even knows Mexicans you should know that they didn’t just say that to scare little kids they 100% believe it as do I.

As a mexican, I'm really thankful that you're telling these stories that are barely ever talked about in my country.

Also, just an extra piece of information: Coatlicue is an Aztec goddess, not incan. Both, Santos and Cayetano had no idea of incan mythology so they mixed Aztec and Incan without any knowledge about any of those cultures. I used to live in the state where this story happened, and once had the chance to visit La Yerbabuena, and trust me... there's something off. You can actually feel some kind of vibe when you are in town. Update: OMG, so many likes. Thank you everyone.

[@susanfarley1332]

When you described the light coming from the cave it reminded me of when my mother and me went down to live in Mexico. Every year we had to go back to the border to renew our visa. I had forgotten this particular border visit since I was about 6 years old. We were staying with one of my mom's friends. For some reason we were in the mountains. We saw a line of people with torches and candles going up the side of the mountain to a cave. My mother was curious and wanted to go up to see what was happening but her friend told her it wasn't for foreigners to see. I still have a necklace pendant that is a reproduction of a vampire god (?). It's a made of gold washed silver and the body of the bat is big and pear shaped (the body is a bell) with the stylized bat head and wings at the top. It is a reproduction of a jewelry item found in a tomb of an important priest or leader that was dug up. The tomb had been filled with many pieces of gold jewelry objects. I doubt it has any connection to this story. Around the same time of our border visit that time we were living in a small town and I remember being scared of vampire bats. We didn't have screens on our windows and I was scared a vampire bat would get in, so I sleep with my head under the blanket even in the summer. I had heard of a man at a local outdoor cantina (bar) who had been sitting enjoying a beer when he saw a vampire bat licking the blood from a bite on his thumb. He hadn't even felt it bite him! That was real nightmare fuel for my dreams for awhile.

Monika Lewinsky was bowing down before her, while Bill Clinton was tied to a chair and blind folded. And Donald Trump was holding strings from the sky to everyone head and hands. At the top of her shirt it said,.."The High Priestess of Blood." Will never forget that moment, or this story. Awesome story Mr. B. and keep up the great storytelling.

And then see what happens under Bush to the American economy and it’s complete collapse in 2007-2008 prior to the election of Obama. Then go back and follow the pattern of when the GOP is in power and when the Dems are in power.

When i was 12 my dad worked as a semi truck driver for the waste disposal company and the story went how this young truck driver was driving down the road and he was going around hwy 20 late around 2-3 in the morning. He was checking his mirrors as any driver does and he suddenly feels pretty anxious, as he is checking his mirrors as he pans his head to the left a women appears holding onto the mirrors and side bar of the truck. He slams the breaks and the truck started to go cock eyed but he got control of the truck. He was really spooked, he nervously looked out the window and drove off and as soon as he got to the next rest stop he got out checked and no blood was on the truck or anything.

there is also a mountain range in philippines called sierra madre mountain range. I live near it like a suburb modern town. I was always fascinated by it because it protect us from storms brought in ocean and also the sceneries. Someday I would like to hike it from start to finish.

Seriously twisted story! What’s frightening is how these villagers were so horribly deceived, essentially creating a mass psychosis event.

This story is by far one of the most horrible ones I've ever heard! My jaw dropped on this one. Just when you think you've heard it all!!

You dont watch his videos often do you? Let me put it this way i stopped watching for a while because of how disturbing other stories are. This one was like a kitten compared to a lion. Unfortunately this world is filled with evil. Stay safe and healthy in these hards times!

@@leilanitaylor4354 . Hi. So sorry for not responding sooner. I actually just saw your reply today! So, I watched the video and realized I had seen it but rewatched it to refresh my memory. Well, I guess these two stories might be tied for most gruesome. I think it's the cannibalism that horrifies me the most but the story about the family is horrific! Kind of hard to choose the worst. What insanity! Thank you for your response and for the link. And again, my apologies for not seeing this sooner.

It’s always interesting to me how some people can such a strong disconnection to sympathy. To stand there watching and listening to people suffer like that and get enjoyment out of it, it’s the true mark of evil.

if you look up the story she made them all drink super high doses of psychotic drugs...add fear and intimidation and you have the formula to get almost anyone to do horrible things.

Bret, R. Yes! Everything that happened in that cave was demonically influenced. So sad. Goes to show how lies and deception can lead to such disastrous consequences😔

Although I’m ok- and don’t feel I need a therapist right now- I commend you for bringing forth your personal experience in detailing your partnership with better health. Good for you. I’m glad you sought help because I enjoy your videos- but I’m sure those close and personal with you surely would have missed you also. So thank you- and thank you for helping reduce the stigma around men seeking help and sharing your experience! ❤ OH - and most of all!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!

[@dr-_-trash7392]

It's probably a lie, sponserships do that often. BetterHelp is a scam, it's been in soo many lawsuits cause its sold very private info about customers and some of the therapists aren't vetted. Therapy is very important and as a dude in therapy I can confirm that it was hard to go at first due to the stigma. But this is just taking advantage of people in need.

I was a nurse for 40 years, 20 in the ER. My style of practice was always believe the patient unless proven otherwise. My son will soon be off orientation as a police officer.
