00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:45.240
doing well. I feel like I

28
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:49.120
great, there's a slow season coming
up, and then boom, just hit

29
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:53.599
with a wave of things which I
am always again forever grateful for. I

30
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:57.639
welcome all of these opportunities and I'm
so excited for them. So first and

31
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:00.960
foremost, to keep up with anything
that I am doing with Sustal, either

32
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:06.039
in person or online, make sure
to follow the socials that's at Sustal podcast

33
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:08.560
across every social media platform. I
do have a couple of things coming up

34
00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:14.159
so in May. The things that
are being promoted already that I will talk

35
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:16.759
about actually today the day that this
episode comes out, there is day the

36
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:23.719
second May. Second, I am
speaking at the Idea Harlingen Academy for their

37
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:29.960
celebrating RGV Folklore Event. There will
be a discussion on famous folk tales and

38
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:34.280
legends from the RGV. Speaking will
be myself of course, and doctor W.

39
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:37.680
F. Strong, who is a
celebrated Fulbright scholar, a professor and

40
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:42.439
a commentator, and there will be
a special performance from the after school drama

41
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:45.319
program. I haven't been told that
it's a private event, so I mean,

42
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:47.439
if you're in Harlingen and you want
to check it out, then you

43
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:52.120
know, hopefull you're listening to this
early enough or you will have again followed

44
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:53.639
on social media this will be posted
there, and that's why it's so important

45
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:57.360
for you to follow on social media. I'll be sharing the fly on there,

46
00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:00.000
so hopefully you will know about this
event happening this evening already. After

47
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:02.719
that, later on in the month, there are a couple other things,

48
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:06.319
but the one thing that I can
promote for sure is the Psychic and Spiritfest

49
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:11.879
being held by the Curious Twins paranormal
team at the Victoria's Black Swan Inn in

50
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:15.080
San Antonio. I have posted that
one on social media and I will be

51
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:17.240
sharing as we get closer to the
date. Make sure and get your tickets.

52
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:21.160
On the seventeenth is the VIP investigation. I will be there for that,

53
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:25.720
and on the eighteenth is the actual
Like Festival, where I will be

54
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:29.519
tabling and also speaking at. So
very excited for those things. We got

55
00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:32.319
our first promo code, y'all.
I am very excited about this. This

56
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:35.319
is a major deal, right,
So I always joke about this. I'm

57
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:40.240
always saying use code Sustal for zero
percent off. But I mean, I

58
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:44.279
guess I can still make the joke. It's just maybe a little not as

59
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:49.560
true anymore. Because you can visit
chordsclub dot com and use code Sustal for

60
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:54.360
ten percent off of your order.
If you all have not seen before,

61
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:59.000
I posted across the social media platforms
a video that I made about the earrings

62
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:02.439
that I wear. I had been
ordering earrings from this company already. I

63
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:06.920
was already using their jewelry and I
really liked them. So eventually we just

64
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:12.319
struck up a conversation online and they
gave us a discount code. So go

65
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.800
check out their website again, I
posted on social media. It's on my

66
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:18.959
link tree as well. It's code
Sustal for ten percent off your order.

67
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:24.040
They have really cute stuff. The
earrings that I'm wearing right now is a

68
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:27.759
little garnet birthstone. It looks like
a drop of blood and I'm wearing that

69
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:31.360
above a coffin on my cartilage piercings. It's giving kind of like a vampire

70
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:36.680
vibe. Right. They have something
for everyone again quortzclub dot com code Soustal

71
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:41.839
And if you have not seen,
I was also featured on the cover of

72
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:46.480
Texas Connect, so that link is
also on the link tree. That is

73
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:50.240
major to me. I listen not
to toot my own horn, but after

74
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:56.199
winning an award from Variety and the
Gotham Institute. I was featured in Variety

75
00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:58.879
magazine and I did say, I
don't know if y'all remember this. I

76
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:00.399
just remembered this, but at one
point I did say, you know,

77
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:03.399
one day I'll be on the cover
of a magazine, maybe not Variety,

78
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:06.720
but a cover. And lo and
behold, I'm on a cover. So

79
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:12.879
go check out that story. A
huge shout out to Branden, who wrote

80
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:15.600
the piece and interviewed me for it. It turned out really great. It

81
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:18.560
was a lovely read. And also
a big shout out to will by Wit

82
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:24.600
Photography who took the cover shot of
me. Thank you to everyone who went

83
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:27.879
into making that story happen and to
getting me on the cover. That is

84
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:32.680
still I'm like so kind of speechless
about it obviously, so there's not much

85
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:36.120
else to update aside from that.
As always, if you have your own

86
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:40.439

to share on a Letters from the Beyond

87
00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:43.079
episode, you already know how to
get that to me. You can visit

support the show. It's fast and it's

94
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:05.800
free, and I really appreciate it. So we're going to go ahead and

95
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:12.079
get into today's story, which is
the story of El Padres Sinca Vesa.

96
00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:40.639
The rain slicked streets of Tonacate Beeke, a municipality in San sal Vador,

97
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:46.439
glistened under the feeble glow of street
lights. Across the ancient colonial era church

98
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:53.720
stood a modest house, its facade
worn by time and neglect. This was

99
00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:59.600
Andrea's new abode, chosen out of
necessity rather than desire. As a struggling

100
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:05.720
musician, the allure of cheap rent
outweighed any reservations she held about the eerie

101
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:11.560
surroundings. Andrea, bags in hand
and with her guitar slung over her shoulder,

102
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:16.199
stepped cautiously through the threshold of her
new home. Little did she know

103
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:20.720
that she was about to become entangled
in a nightmare that would unravel her sanity.

104
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:26.319
As the nights passed, the darkness
outside her window seemed to thicken,

105
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:33.960
and strange sounds echoed through the empty
streets. Andrea dismissed them at first,

106
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:39.440
attributing them to the unfamiliarity of her
surroundings, but soon the noises grew louder,

107
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:46.519
more persistent, and impossible to ignore. On moonless nights, the air

108
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:50.639
itself seemed to hum with an other
worldly presence. Andrea would wake to the

109
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:56.679
sound of distant moans, whispers that
slithered through the cracks in her walls,

110
00:08:56.080 --> 00:09:03.759
and the sensation of icy fingers trailed
down her spine. She tried to rationalize

111
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:09.639
the phenomena, blaming her overactive imagination
or the stress of her struggling career,

112
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:15.679
but deep down, she knew that
something sinister lurked in the shadows. It

113
00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:20.720
wasn't long before Andrea's friends and bandmates
started to notice the toll the haunting was

114
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:26.519
taking on her. Her once vibrant
personality faded, replaced by a hollow gaze,

115
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:31.679
haunted by unseen terrors. They urged
her to leave the house to seek

116
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:37.000
refuge elsewhere, but Andrea couldn't bring
herself to abandon the only shelter she could

117
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:43.559
afford. Desperate for answers, Andrea
turned to the locals, hoping to uncover

118
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:50.559
the truth behind the malevolent force that
plagued her every waking moment. It was

119
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:56.039
then that she first heard the whispers
of the Salvadorian Headless Priest, a figure

120
00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:03.039
shrouded in gory mystery, condemned to
wander the earth in eternal torment. Legend

121
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:07.360
had it that the headless Priest was
once a revered Catholic clergyman, entrusted with

122
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:13.799
the spiritual guidance of his congregation and
the conversion of the local indigenous population.

123
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:18.720
But whispers of his behavior with parishioners
and his refusal to repent for his sins

124
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:24.240
reached the ears of church authorities.
In an act of divine retribution, the

125
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:31.320
priest was stripped of his position and
sentenced to death for his transgressions. His

126
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:35.840
body was rumored to be buried in
the consecrated grounds of the church, while

127
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:39.639
his decapitated head was cast into the
depths of a nearby river, never to

128
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:46.159
be reunited with its rightful owner.
Now in death, the priest's spirit remains

129
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:52.600
tethered to the streets he once lived
on, restless, doomed to wander Donacatepeke

130
00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:58.840
in search of his severed head.
Those unlucky enough to cross his path would

131
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:05.080
be subjected to his pain, leaving
them temporarily paralyzed and mute. As Andrea

132
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:11.399
delved deeper into the grim history of
her surroundings, she realized the true nature

133
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:16.200
of the haunting that plagued her.
The headless priest was not merely a specter

134
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:20.440
of the past, but a malevolent
force, hel bent on exacting revenge for

135
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:26.639
the perceived injustices committed against him.
Armed with this knowledge, Andrea resolved to

136
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:31.759
put an end to the priest's reign
of terror to free both herself and the

137
00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:37.399
tortured soul. But her attempts to
appease the vengeful spirit proved futile, as

138
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:43.480
the priest's anger seemed to grow stronger
with each passing night. One particular evening,

139
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:50.320
Andrea could no longer pretend to ignore
the noise her heart pounded in her

140
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:54.919
chest as she stepped out into the
moonless night. The air was thick with

141
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:58.639
a palpable sense of dread, and
every instinct screamed at her to go back

142
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:03.399
in see side, to retreat to
the safety of her home. But something

143
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:09.720
compelled her forward, driving her closer
to the church. She followed the eerie

144
00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:16.320
bangs and groans until she found herself
standing before the imposing silhouette of the church.

145
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:22.519
Its ancient walls loomed overhead, casting
long, ominous shadows that seemed to

146
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:26.279
dance in the flickering light of the
street lamps. Andrea pushed open the heavy

147
00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:33.519
wooden doors and stepped inside. The
musty scent of incense and decay singed her

148
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:37.559
nose. The interior of the church
was illuminated only by the weak glow of

149
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:43.240
candlelight flickering on the altar. As
she made her way down the aisle,

150
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:48.960
her footsteps echoing off the cold stone
floor, she felt a chill creep up

151
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:54.559
her spine, and then she saw
him, a shadowy figure standing at the

152
00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:58.759
foot of the altar. For a
moment, time seemed to stand still as

153
00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:05.039
Onrea's eyes locked onto his body,
and although he had no head, she

154
00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:09.799
knew he could sense her. She
tried to speak, to cry out in

155
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:15.559
terror, but her voice caught in
her throat, silenced by the sheer magnitude

156
00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:20.840
of the presence before her. Suddenly, the silence cracked, the priest's unearthly

157
00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:28.200
screams reverberated through the cavernous church,
making Andrea's skull vibrate. She felt rooted

158
00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:31.679
to the spot, unable to move
or even breathe. It was as if

159
00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:37.440
the very air itself had turned to
ice, freezing her in place. As

160
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:43.519
the priest's ghostly form drew closer,
and then, just as suddenly as it

161
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:48.240
had begun, the moment passed,
and Andrea found herself alone once more in

162
00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:54.480
the darkness of the church. Trembling
uncontrollably, she stumbled back down the aisle

163
00:13:56.000 --> 00:14:01.679
out into the street, her mind
reeling from the encounter. The legend of

164
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:07.639
the headless priest was no mere tale
of superstition, but a chilling reality that

165
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:11.480
threatened to consume her very soul,
and as she made her way back to

166
00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:16.919
her home, the echoes of the
priests screams still ringing in her ears,

167
00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:22.159
Andrea knew that she would never be
the same again. Her mind began to

168
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:26.519
fray at the edges, consumed by
the relentless onslaught of terror that assailed her

169
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:33.480
senses. She withdrew further, isolating
herself from the world outside, until she

170
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:37.039
was nothing more than a shell of
the person she used to be. In

171
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:41.919
the end, there was no resolution, no redemption for Andrea or the headless

172
00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:48.320
spirit who haunted her every waking moment, and so the streets of Tonaca Tpeke

173
00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:54.240
remained cloaked in darkness, their cobblestone
paths, haunted by the restless spirit of

174
00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:58.320
a priest condemned to wander for all
eternity, his decapitated head forever out of

175
00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:18.559
reach. Welcome back with friends.
So we have a couple of links here.

176
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:22.759
As always, direct links are on
the Susto Google docs, on Patreon

177
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:26.320
dot com, slash sustal podcast.
But the first one that we have is

178
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:33.120
a blog. It's blog dot Walking
with sal dot org. And this is

179
00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:37.480
a full rundown on the legend of
the Priest with No Head. This entry

180
00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:41.080
is actually from twenty twenty one,
so recent. There are some fun pictures

181
00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:46.720
that go with the social media posts
for this, you'll see them, but

182
00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:50.759
yeah, this basically just tells the
story. It says that a version of

183
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:54.879
the story from Donaka or Donac at
the Beke, which is the municipality that

184
00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:58.440
it's from, that says that the
local priest, who is supposedly guilty of

185
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:03.320
having love of afairs with various maidens
in the town. It continues. Unfortunately,

186
00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:04.600
on a day like any other day, a woman who is a friend

187
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:08.240
to the priest died. The people
of the town, with evil motives,

188
00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:12.759
attributed the death of the woman to
the priests. So because there had been

189
00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:18.840
a supposed affair going on between the
priest and this woman, and this woman

190
00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:21.720
died, people were like, well, it was obviously him. When they

191
00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:25.679
found out about their relationship. This
continues. Taking justice into their own hands,

192
00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:27.639
they executed the priest. They cut
off his head, making sure that

193
00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:32.159
his body would forever walk the town
in search of his head and in search

194
00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:36.360
of his departed lover. To this
day, the headless priest wanders the town

195
00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:40.039
as a lost soul in search of
his head. Those who are out late

196
00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:44.240
at night can hear the priest scream
as his head searches every corner of the

197
00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:45.840
town for his beloved, the head
of the body. I don't know,

198
00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:49.080
maybe both, and this, my
friends, is the punishment for a priest

199
00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:52.759
who falls in love with the women
of the parish. But again, from

200
00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:57.639
the versions that I read of this
story, this priest was having relations,

201
00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:00.480
so to speak, with moremultiple people
in the town. And we don't know

202
00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:03.599
what the dynamics of those relationships were, right, But yeah, just to

203
00:17:03.640 --> 00:17:07.279
go back to like the origin,
I guess. But the first part of

204
00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:11.480
this I thought was interesting. It
says tales of mysterious encounters with a headless

205
00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:15.519
priest in the dark of night are
not uncommonly told among the Salvadoran people.

206
00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:21.119
After the time of the Spanish invasion, when conquers wielding swords or carrying bibles

207
00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:25.640
establish their power, there emerged a
legend of an imaginary priest who wanders in

208
00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:27.960
the streets and pathways as a lost
soul. We should there should be like

209
00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:34.640
a punch card or something for each
cryptid or spirit that was influenced by colonization.

210
00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:37.440
You know, punch a card and
your fifth your fifth one is a

211
00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:41.359
free exorcism or something. I don't
know. This continues. There emerged a

212
00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:45.359
legend of an imaginary priest who wanders
in the streets and pathways as a lost

213
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:48.799
soul. He appears to those who
are out walking in the evening. He

214
00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:52.880
is searching for his head. He
or perhaps his head lets out screams into

215
00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:56.680
the night. That's also very interesting
to me. I'm like, where are

216
00:17:56.680 --> 00:18:00.640
the screams coming from you know,
as we know with spear and fiction if

217
00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:04.559
you will, if you think it's
it's fiction entities, there's no like.

218
00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:07.920
You know, they can make things
happen, They can make you perceive things

219
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:14.319
happening. Right, So the screams
could be disembodied voices, disembodied screams,

220
00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:15.799
right, But it makes you wonder, is like, is the screaming coming

221
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:21.400
from the body or from the head? Where exactly on the neck was he

222
00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:25.480
decapitated? And where are the vocal
cords? You know, I'm not a

223
00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:30.480
voice scientist. I don't know if
we have any doctors would that be possible

224
00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:33.039
someone? I don't know. I
don't want to get too gory, but

225
00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:37.960
I am very curious this continues,
he or perhaps his head lets out screams

226
00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:41.240
into the night. Those who see
him feel cold and are sometimes paralyzed with

227
00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:45.240
fear and cannot speak for days.
Now. I don't know about you,

228
00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:48.920
but to me, that sounds like, let's say it together sousto. I

229
00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:56.519
too would probably experience some level of
sousto if I were to see a headless

230
00:18:56.519 --> 00:19:00.680
priest who is screeching at me.
Right, Yeah, it makes sense that

231
00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:04.200
people are paralyzed and unable to speak
for days after encountering him. But also

232
00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:08.160
I wonder if this if it's an
intentional power that he has over people.

233
00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:12.000
This continues. The story of the
priest with no head is well known and

234
00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:18.200
frequently told in tonacate Beke. Some
say the ghost of a Badra Sinkavesa or

235
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:22.400
the headless priest is real. Some
say the story was invented by the Church

236
00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:27.480
in order to scare indigenous people into
becoming Christians. Some who study traditional salvador

237
00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:32.079
In tells say this legend was created
by enemies of the Church. Yeah,

238
00:19:32.119 --> 00:19:36.319
that one's a little confusing to me. Is I know that the Church had

239
00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:47.000
many many tactics into scaring and forcing
and honestly abusing people into following the teachings

240
00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:49.400
of the Church. So I don't
understand how this would be a tactic to

241
00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:52.759
scare people into becoming Christian. Honestly, if I saw that, I'd be

242
00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:56.359
like, you know what, I
don't want any part of that. Do

243
00:19:56.400 --> 00:20:02.599
not sign me up for headless priests. I would immediately associate that with the

244
00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:04.400
Church. I mean, obviously this
priest is from the Church. I don't

245
00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:07.680
want any part of that. Get
it away from me. Right, it's

246
00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:10.880
spooky and creepy. It would make
more sense to me that like enemies of

247
00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:15.240
the church would dream up, if
you will, this story that would definitely

248
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:18.200
churn me away. I'd be like, oh, the church is a vengeful

249
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:22.799
and they will chop off your head
if you're not behaving in a way that

250
00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:26.000
they want you to. So that
makes more sense that the enemies of the

251
00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:27.759
church were, like they got helpless
prec alls that what you want. There's

252
00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:33.240
a picture here. It's a picture
taken in tont Beke and it says here

253
00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:37.559
the Padre sin Caavesa appears with a
few of his legendary friends and it's these

254
00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:41.440
kids in their costumes, and there's
the priest right here. And that's so

255
00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:44.960
funny to me that someone dressed up
as him. This blog entry continues,

256
00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:48.400
Linda writes, it will not surprise
you, my dear readers, to learn

257
00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:52.519
that my friend Julia has seen the
Padre Sinka Vesa. Supposedly this is a

258
00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:56.039
quote from Julia. I'm a guessing
quote. Supposedly he comes out on the

259
00:20:56.160 --> 00:20:59.480
nights without a moon. One time
at the fork in the road near Tona

260
00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:03.359
Go Depec, when I was walking
later than usual I thought I saw something

261
00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:06.279
sitting in the dirt at the base
of the big tree, maybe like a

262
00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:10.200
dog. As I looked towards the
tree, the figure rose up and the

263
00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:14.480
sight of it sent chills through my
body. There was a screech like of

264
00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:19.240
an owl. It was the priest
with no head. Spooky again, Yeah,

265
00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:23.079
that would leave me paralyzed and speechless. It's like, oh, there's

266
00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:26.960
a dog over there, wrong,
headless body, and then she goes on

267
00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:33.200
to wrap it up. This next
entry is from wikifandom, and this is

268
00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:37.039
from Mito Lohilla dot fandom dot com. But this one before it was translated

269
00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:44.759
in English, it showed it as
sade is the word in Spanish for priests.

270
00:21:44.759 --> 00:21:47.319
But also, you know, just
depending on where you're at, some

271
00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:53.480
people call them bare her father.
So at Badre sincaveza the headless father sinca

272
00:21:53.519 --> 00:21:56.519
veza would also be correct. But
okay, so this one, this wiki

273
00:21:56.599 --> 00:22:00.599
entry, it says every Friday,
at the stroke of midnight, the headless

274
00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:06.200
Father emerges from the main gate of
the Rosario Church. When leaving the atrium,

275
00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:11.559
walks along sixth Avenue towards the north. This is very specific. It

276
00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:15.839
passes in front of the popular which
is today known as the Lebtad Cinema,

277
00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:18.960
and turns the corner at the This
is wow, this is so specific,

278
00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:23.480
turns the corner of the gym It
says sixth Street and sixth Avenue, and

279
00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:27.519
goes down. Shortly after half a
block, he disappears and reappears entering the

280
00:22:27.559 --> 00:22:30.960
atrium of the Lahmita Said Church.
He can be seen crossing the atrium and

281
00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:36.119
entering the church with the door closed. Sometimes he can be seen walking around

282
00:22:36.119 --> 00:22:40.279
the entire atrium and climbing the bell
tower. Other times they see him passing

283
00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:44.079
over the la Vega Bridge, going
up the hill, walking in the atrium

284
00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:47.519
and entering the la Vega Church,
also with the doors closed. So now

285
00:22:47.559 --> 00:22:49.960
this is giving. First of all, this headless priest really is looking for

286
00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:53.720
his head. He is on an
adventure every night, or allegedly every Friday

287
00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:57.759
night, according to this entry.
But this is giving me also now and

288
00:22:57.839 --> 00:23:00.400
we'll talk more about this in a
bit, Girl who Danced with the Devil.

289
00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:04.119
It's the Santa Claus effect of the
spirits. He's everywhere. People are

290
00:23:04.119 --> 00:23:08.319
seeing him all over the place,
not only in Elsalvad or. Also we're

291
00:23:08.359 --> 00:23:11.039
going to talk about that right now. But again, this entry says that

292
00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:15.799
he's the soul of a priest who
died in mortal sin without confession and who

293
00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:19.440
lost his head due to a love
passion. Another version is that this is

294
00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:26.000
the soul of a priest who fought
alongside This uses the word peasants in a

295
00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:29.920
revolt who was murdered. So yeah, there are versions of the story in

296
00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:36.240
which he fought I'm assuming their meaning
alongside the indigenous people. Maybe he wasn't

297
00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:40.119
agreeing with the treatment of them,
with the methods of the church to convert

298
00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:44.960
the indigenous populations to Christianity or to
Catholicism, And so then the Catholic Church

299
00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:48.160
was like, well, you're actually
against us now, so off with your

300
00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:51.480
head. Yeah, but different reasons. So not just this, these these

301
00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:55.359
love affairs, if you will,
but a completely different reason. And again

302
00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:57.920
the origin of the story dates back
to the colonial era, when efforts were

303
00:23:57.920 --> 00:24:03.119
made to convert the Indigenous people to
Christianity, a time when Catholic missionaries,

304
00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:07.160
priests, and monks were often executed, especially by landowners and chiefs who wanted

305
00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:11.240
to maintain power others. So okay, so then now this is another reason,

306
00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:15.960
So not just not the love affairs, not that he was standing in

307
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:19.759
solidarity with indigenous populations, but the
indigenous people who were like, actually,

308
00:24:21.319 --> 00:24:23.039
fuck off, and they were like, no, We're going to go after

309
00:24:23.079 --> 00:24:26.599
you. Now. Others claim that
it is a radical reversal of the legend

310
00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:32.640
of Gurgalkin or the headless Mayan priest, changing the priest in terms of religion

311
00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:37.319
since it is not only known in
El Salvador. Now that brings me to

312
00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:41.759
the next topic, which is the
headless mind, divinity or priest. This

313
00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:45.960
is from World History Encyclopedia. It's
Worldhistory dot org. It's a statue that

314
00:24:47.079 --> 00:24:51.480
was made from cutstone during the classical
era in Mine history, so two fifty

315
00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:56.200
to nine hundred CE. It depicts
either a Mayan god or goddess or perhaps

316
00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:59.920
even a priest. And it was
made in the Yukatan Peninsula of Mexico.

317
00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:03.440
And I'll be putting this photo up
as well. So this next one is

318
00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:07.759
from the Jerusalem Post or Jpost dot
com. It's titled Headless Maya's Statue discovered

319
00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:12.400
in excavation of ancient city. This
says a life size statue of a headless

320
00:25:12.440 --> 00:25:18.319
human was recently discovered in the ancient
Maya city of Oshkintoch, Mexico during excavations

321
00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:22.720
led by the National Institute of Anthropology
and History. This is a life size

322
00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:26.200
statue that has been fun to discover, it says. The limestone statue,

323
00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:30.279
which has no head, hands,
lower legs, or feet, is five

324
00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:33.799
five in height and has been nicknamed
yum KiB or the goddess of Phallus and

325
00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:38.200
fertility. The archaeologists believe that the
statue was made in the image of a

326
00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:44.079
Maya warrior, most likely a prisoner
of war. According to IAH General Director

327
00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:48.200
Diego Prieto, the lack of a
head surely represents a warrior who was a

328
00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:52.279
prisoner in combat. He added that
it was likely that the person represented by

329
00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:56.000
the statue had ultimately been decapitated after
his capture. So this is a little

330
00:25:56.039 --> 00:26:00.599
different from the story of this being
a priest, right. I don't know

331
00:26:00.640 --> 00:26:04.400
the history or how the my people
viewed warriors. Maybe they viewed them as

332
00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:07.880
holy leaders so to speak as well. But yeah, I'm not finding too

333
00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:14.079
much on this entity or this being
known as Gurgle Calquin, not to be

334
00:26:14.119 --> 00:26:18.079
confused with Gurgurlghan. Okay. The
only thing that I could find is was

335
00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:22.240
a TikTok actually, and I'm putting
a link to that TikTok and this is

336
00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:27.319
so Google doc but it is from
a creator called a named Ramon Valdes and

337
00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:32.559
he's telling the story of El Gul
Calkin. And I haven't been able to

338
00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:37.279
find this story anywhere else, to
be honest, all the stories that come

339
00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:41.960
up is they say El Gul Calkin, but then they talk about the Headless

340
00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:45.200
Priest what we just talked about.
But there is a specific version that this

341
00:26:45.319 --> 00:26:49.400
person just told about El google Calkin
that is extremely interesting. I'm gonna dig.

342
00:26:49.440 --> 00:26:52.880
I'm gonna dig really hard and try
and find as much as I can

343
00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:57.319
to do an episode or something about
this creature. But for now, I

344
00:26:57.359 --> 00:27:02.039
will amplify that creator video about it, because I mean, it was just

345
00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:06.079
well told. But also the story
is similar but still different from that of

346
00:27:06.119 --> 00:27:10.480
the Headless Priest that we just covered. So El Gulkalkin definitely is going on

347
00:27:10.519 --> 00:27:14.119
my list of things to research because
that was a very interesting story. And

348
00:27:14.200 --> 00:27:17.559
sorry to kind of tease you with
that, but I don't want to like

349
00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:19.480
give you bits and details without being
able to give you a full story,

350
00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:22.039
So just keep it out on social
media online. I'm going to repost that

351
00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:26.720
person's video because he did an amazing
job on his own. But moving forward,

352
00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:30.759
of course, we have a wiki
entry, and this is a wiki

353
00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:36.359
entry on Headless priest or Cavesa,
and this one it covers, you know,

354
00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:40.519
the legend, but it also talks
about it from places all over the

355
00:27:40.559 --> 00:27:44.559
world. And you know, this
is one of my favorite parts of Sustil.

356
00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:47.519
I'm just going to read off the
areas of the world that it lists,

357
00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:52.519
some in Latin America and Hispanic countries, but also all over the world.

358
00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:56.880
So it starts off with France,
Czech Spain, England, of course,

359
00:27:57.200 --> 00:28:03.519
Mexico, Watemala, Nicaragua, Rica, Banama, Guba, Colombia,

360
00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:08.160
Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Uruay, and Argentina is what it

361
00:28:08.200 --> 00:28:12.240
shows here, and there's there's an
entry for all of them. For each

362
00:28:12.279 --> 00:28:18.440
of those. Since we're already talking
about Latin American countries or cultures, I

363
00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:22.000
want to dip out of that pond
and see how they relate to these other

364
00:28:22.039 --> 00:28:23.559
cultures. So let's just go with
the first one, which is France.

365
00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:26.880
For example, it says in France, the legend of the Abbey of Saint

366
00:28:27.039 --> 00:28:32.119
Dionysus is told a saint of the
Catholic Church who is martyred around the year

367
00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:37.000
two forty after Christ, along with
Saint Elutherius and Saint Risticus, for preaching

368
00:28:37.079 --> 00:28:42.319
the Gospel in Gaul. Saint Dionysus
was beheaded on the hill of Mont Martyr,

369
00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:48.720
whose name would derive from mons Martrium
Mount of Martyrdom, according to some

370
00:28:48.920 --> 00:28:53.440
etymologists, although others defend that it
comes from mons Martis Mount of Mars,

371
00:28:53.559 --> 00:28:57.720
because there was a temple there dedicated
to the Roman god of war. Mars.

372
00:28:59.079 --> 00:29:03.079
Legend has it once the head had
fallen to the ground, the decapitated

373
00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:07.039
body stood up, picked up the
head and began to walk for a distance

374
00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:11.720
of a league until stopping on the
spot currently occupied by the Basilica, where

375
00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:15.759
he finally expired. That okay,
so this is another version of creepy,

376
00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:21.440
is that this priest picked up his
head and just walked. I'm gonna go

377
00:29:21.559 --> 00:29:25.039
to a Czech In the city of
Prague in the Czech Republic, a city

378
00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:29.440
famous for its ghost stories, there's
one about several headless ghosts that appear on

379
00:29:29.559 --> 00:29:32.680
the Charles Bridge at night. There
are the spirits of ten knights who were

380
00:29:32.720 --> 00:29:36.279
executed during the Middle Ages, whose
heads were hung on pikes and placed on

381
00:29:36.319 --> 00:29:40.200
the bridge. From Prague. Also
comes the legend of a headless templar monk

382
00:29:40.359 --> 00:29:44.319
beheaded for falling in love with a
noble woman. Again, this idea,

383
00:29:44.559 --> 00:29:49.920
or this narrative of a I'll say, unsavory relationship or love affair. This

384
00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:56.799
monk, this templar monk appears on
Fridays at midnight on Lilova Street. Again

385
00:29:56.160 --> 00:30:00.319
Friday nights. Is it connected to
Good Friday? Maybe? Well? He

386
00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:04.599
appears Friday nights mounted on a white
horse and holds his severed head under his

387
00:30:04.799 --> 00:30:08.559
arm. Okay, now this is
making a connection to the headless horsemen.

388
00:30:10.200 --> 00:30:14.160
So it was the headless horseman a
priest. The sight of the horse's nostrils

389
00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:18.279
shooting lightning and its hoofs sparks seems
like a familiar story. Another decapitated ghost

390
00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:23.319
of a mayor holding his head appears
on Martinska Street in the Old Town to

391
00:30:23.359 --> 00:30:27.559
scare those who are irresponsible in his
work. Meanwhile, a headless monk emerges

392
00:30:27.559 --> 00:30:33.680
from the garden of the Strahov Monastery
on horseback, holding his own head in

393
00:30:33.720 --> 00:30:37.319
his hands, Condemned to this torture
for delaying assisting a dying man due to

394
00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:44.079
his addiction to playing cards. So
just headless holy men, just haunting all

395
00:30:44.119 --> 00:30:45.359
of the checks. So if you're
if you're in check, you're going to

396
00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:49.640
see a headless holy person. And
then of course there's Spain and in England.

397
00:30:51.319 --> 00:30:55.440
But this just now starts to delve
into headless I guess I'll say characters,

398
00:30:55.519 --> 00:30:59.640
right, I'm gonna read some from
Latin America to this one. Okay,

399
00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:03.799
let's read from Banama. In Panama, in the Via de Losanthos,

400
00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:07.279
there is a legend of appearance of
a headless father who is supposed to be

401
00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:11.799
the soul of a missionary who arrived
with the Spanish conquistadors and who was beheaded

402
00:31:11.799 --> 00:31:14.880
on the Serro the Juandias. You
knew when it was going to appear,

403
00:31:14.920 --> 00:31:18.880
because you always heard first a bell
that sounded like something from beyond the grave,

404
00:31:18.079 --> 00:31:22.000
with a strange, strange sound,
like something from the other world.

405
00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:26.640
And it appeared, especially again here
it is on Good Friday around a place

406
00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:30.599
called La Cantera, and whoever saw
it fell prey to great terror and was

407
00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:34.160
left mute and paralyzed. There's now
that detail as well, this ghost was

408
00:31:34.200 --> 00:31:40.039
described as a big, very big
man wearing a very long black cassock,

409
00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:42.079
and a cassick is kind of like
the you've seen, you know, like

410
00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:47.519
priests will sometimes wear like the long
black robe. It's like a black,

411
00:31:47.640 --> 00:31:49.359
long sleeve kind of robe that goes
down to the feet. That's what a

412
00:31:49.400 --> 00:31:52.599
casick is. This one is wearing
the cassick, waving a bell in his

413
00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:56.759
right hand and a letter in his
left hand, as if to deliver it.

414
00:31:56.759 --> 00:32:00.880
It is believed that perhaps the anima
has been trying in vain to communicate

415
00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:05.400
with loved ones left in Spain through
a letter that no one has dared to

416
00:32:05.440 --> 00:32:08.359
take from his hands that's kind of
sad, or that perhaps he has been

417
00:32:08.400 --> 00:32:12.759
trying by that means to make his
tragic story. It is said that the

418
00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:16.880
person who reads this letter will cause
the priest to find eternal peace. Honestly,

419
00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:23.079
that's just me trying to deliver sustal
mal to y'all is by Honestly,

420
00:32:23.160 --> 00:32:27.839
this is a good Halloween costume.
I'm not gonna lie headless priest, bell

421
00:32:27.880 --> 00:32:30.079
in one hand, a letter in
the other, and then you just like

422
00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:34.400
have a full story to tell people
when they ask you know what exactly are

423
00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:37.000
you? Wow, that's really fun
for Cuba. This one is really short.

424
00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:39.920
It says in Las Thunas, on
the island of Cuba, the legend

425
00:32:39.960 --> 00:32:45.160
is told of a headless Indian horseman
mounted on a white horse who appears on

426
00:32:45.240 --> 00:32:49.440
the savannah when great tragedies are going
to occur. Legend has it that the

427
00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:52.720
Indian was murdered by bandits paid by
the father of a Spanish woman with whom

428
00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:57.799
he was in love. Again,
these dangerous love stories, y'all. Again,

429
00:32:57.839 --> 00:32:59.799
there's so many more, but if
you want to look it up,

430
00:33:00.160 --> 00:33:06.440
the entry is headless priest or on
Wikipedia, and again the direct link is

431
00:33:06.440 --> 00:33:09.519
in the sustic Google docs on patreon
dot com slash susta podcast. It would

432
00:33:09.599 --> 00:33:15.960
make sense that if people saw so
many headless spirits, because that's a pretty

433
00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:20.000
traumatic way to go. And what
are we always saying on the show is

434
00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:23.400
that, you know, hauntings a
lot of the time are tied to trauma.

435
00:33:23.559 --> 00:33:29.200
So if you die in a traumatic
way and get into capitated is a

436
00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:31.519
very traumatic way to go, then
yeah, it would make sense that your

437
00:33:31.720 --> 00:33:36.599
spirit is kind of stuck in a
loop or stuck in a place because of

438
00:33:36.640 --> 00:33:38.640
that. Thing that happened, it
tied you to this area. It would

439
00:33:38.640 --> 00:33:42.440
make a lot of sense to me, is what I'm saying, that that

440
00:33:42.519 --> 00:33:45.519
there are a lot of headless spirits
out there, and they all may have

441
00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:49.799
various reasons for why they were killed
that way, but it seems like with

442
00:33:49.880 --> 00:33:52.559
these, especially with the men,
it's always because they were wrapped up in

443
00:33:52.599 --> 00:34:13.679
some sort of relationship. They shouldn't
have been welcome back with friends. God.

444
00:34:14.119 --> 00:34:19.079
Enough talk about headless holy people,
am I right? I'm very interested

445
00:34:19.119 --> 00:34:22.159
to see what versions of headless people
you may have heard of, because I

446
00:34:22.199 --> 00:34:27.159
saw the name like Anne Bolin popped
up right, So, I mean,

447
00:34:27.360 --> 00:34:30.519
listen, the guillotines were very popular
back in the day. They were all

448
00:34:30.599 --> 00:34:34.119
the rave. So I'm sure there's, like, there's tons of stories about

449
00:34:34.159 --> 00:34:37.559
headless figures, but this one about
a headless priest in a south by the

450
00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:42.320
wood was just really creepy to me. Just walking around at night in like

451
00:34:42.400 --> 00:34:46.119
a pueblo or town or a city
whatever. I lived near churches growing up,

452
00:34:46.199 --> 00:34:52.320
so I can't imagine coming across a
priest at night by one of those

453
00:34:52.400 --> 00:34:54.719
churches, dead or alive ahead or
not. I'm like, no, thank

454
00:34:54.719 --> 00:34:59.559
you, priest, so very interesting. Well, thank you all so much

455
00:34:59.599 --> 00:35:04.039
for listening. Again, make sure
to follow across all social media platforms for

456
00:35:04.079 --> 00:35:07.159
any and all updates on the show. That's at sous To Podcast. Oh

457
00:35:07.239 --> 00:35:10.239
sorry, there's no paranormal report today. All I'm going to say is that

458
00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:15.920
this week has been a lot,
it has been very intense. So sorry

459
00:35:15.960 --> 00:35:20.760
there was no paranormal report for this
episode, but I'm glad to hear that

460
00:35:20.920 --> 00:35:23.559
many of you have been enjoying it. So with that being said, if

461
00:35:23.800 --> 00:35:30.000
you come across anything online any sort
of like haunting, especially if it's like

462
00:35:30.119 --> 00:35:32.920
written somewhere like in the news that
helps a lot, send it to me.

463
00:35:34.039 --> 00:35:37.159
Please just message it, email,
whatever, send it to me.

464
00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:38.960
Speaking of sending me things, if
you would like your own story to be

465
00:35:39.079 --> 00:35:43.400
featured on a Letter from the Beyond
episode or on social media you already know,

466
00:35:43.440 --> 00:35:45.920
send it to me via email,
the website, DMS. On social

467
00:35:45.920 --> 00:35:51.199
media. You can leave it in
a reading or review on Apple Podcasts or

468
00:35:51.239 --> 00:35:54.400
Spotify. It can also be a
photo, video, audio recording, anything

469
00:35:54.480 --> 00:35:59.079
you think that I should feature online. Send it to me. As always,

470
00:35:59.119 --> 00:36:01.280
I greatly appreciate if you leave a
rating, a review, interact with

471
00:36:01.320 --> 00:36:06.679
the show wherever you're listening and share
it with your haunted house, with your

472
00:36:06.800 --> 00:36:09.000
ghoul friends. That's the easiest way
to support the show. But if you

473
00:36:09.039 --> 00:36:13.360
are interested in supporting the show in
other ways, there are two ways right

474
00:36:13.400 --> 00:36:15.480
now that you can support financially if
you're interested. If you'd like to,

475
00:36:15.639 --> 00:36:19.920
I've posted it on social media.
It is also on the link tree.

476
00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:22.679
You can donate to the gofund me
if you're feeling generous for a one time

477
00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:29.840
donation, and you can visit gofund
dot me slash ten BC DC two seven.

478
00:36:29.960 --> 00:36:34.679
Again, I'm raising money to invest
in a completely new audio setup to

479
00:36:34.760 --> 00:36:38.400
record the show. It's gofund dot
