00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:29.120
A cool friends, It's me Adrian or Aiden. Either way,

2
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:31.679
I am still your host and you are still listening

3
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:35.200
to Susto, the podcast of Ooky Spooky Scary Story centered

4
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:39.640
on paranormal folklore from Latin American and Hispanic cultures. Welcome back,

5
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:43.200
Thank you for joining me once again on the other side.

6
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:47.159
And if this is your first time, welcome, What a time,

7
00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:51.560
What what a time. So first off, I just want

8
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:55.200
to say thank you to everybody for your patients. I

9
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:58.880
took last week off. It was just it really was

10
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:04.079
just all too much and you all constantly are showing

11
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:08.560
me patience, grace, kindness, and I truly truly appreciate it. Yeah,

12
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:13.680
just October really kicked my ass. And as always I

13
00:01:13.719 --> 00:01:16.519
will say I had a great time. I loved it.

14
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:19.079
Two things can be true. Though. While I did love

15
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:21.480
it as much as I did, I was also very

16
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:23.560
tired by the end of it. It was it felt

17
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:26.920
truly like a marathon. And that last you know, that

18
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:30.640
last mile or so was so rough it wore me out.

19
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:36.120
That paired with daylight saving time and the election, it

20
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:38.719
just all was like, Okay, this is too much. I

21
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:42.680
need to just stop and back away for a second,

22
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:45.319
just to take a breath. Actually, let's do that. Let's

23
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:52.319
all take a deep breath together, and we're okay, We're

24
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:55.760
gonna be okay. But yeah, it was just a lot.

25
00:01:55.799 --> 00:02:00.239
October was amazing. Thank you. Shout out to everybody who

26
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:04.319
invited me for an event, to sit on a panel,

27
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:07.439
to table, to speak to host, to interview me, to

28
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:10.199
be interviewed by me. I truly, truly, it was an

29
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:12.199
amazing time. And you know what, what do we say?

30
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:14.400
We keep these good vibes going, huh, let us take

31
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:17.360
that momentum into the rest of the year. So I

32
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:19.479
say this often, and I know I was saying it

33
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:23.120
throughout the month of October. But if you see anything, anybody,

34
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:26.400
any events that you think this is a perfect match,

35
00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:29.360
a match made in hell for Sustal, do not be

36
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:32.639
shy to link us up, reach out to that other entity,

37
00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:36.319
reach out to me, send messages, tag people in comments.

38
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:40.000
I'm all for it. I wish that people lived in

39
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:42.680
this spooky bubble like I did all year round and

40
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:45.240
like you all do, because hello, you're here. But you

41
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:48.000
know what, we're still in fall season. The spooky vibes continue,

42
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:50.840
and we all know that here at SUSTAL, It does

43
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:53.919
not matter if it is fifty degrees outside, if it

44
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:56.840
is a thousand degrees like it is in Texas most times,

45
00:02:56.919 --> 00:03:00.879
it's spooky season all year round. So thank you all

46
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:04.199
for that. And also to my new listeners. I am

47
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:06.919
hoping that a lot of you here are new today

48
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:09.639
because again I was able to be on a lot

49
00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:12.479
of amazing shows. If you're new here, welcome to your

50
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:15.240
first new episode. Kind of terrible timing right as a

51
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:19.159
podcaster to take a week off. I just ran this

52
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:22.719
sprint marathon. I don't know why I keep comparing it,

53
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:24.560
and maybe because I'm a runner, you know, I'm a

54
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:28.280
track star. But anyway, I just did all of this basically,

55
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:31.360
you know, not only collaboration and creation with other people,

56
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:34.319
but also ultimately advertising where I'm telling people to come

57
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:36.520
over here and then they get here and I'm like, hmm,

58
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:40.039
I'm tired. But again, I thank you for your patients

59
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:42.719
and kindness. I will just remind everybody this is an

60
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:47.439
independently produced show. However, today's episode is a treat. I

61
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:51.560
will say it is another Sousto original. This story was

62
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:55.439
produced by the lovely Jeffrey Doyle. Everybody a round of

63
00:03:55.479 --> 00:03:58.319
applause for my man, my man, my man. So I'm

64
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:00.439
very excited to do that story. But before that, as

65
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.120
always send in your own scary stories, anything that you

66
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:05.120
would like me to share on a Letters from the

67
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:08.840
Beyond episode. That means stories submitted by you the listener,

68
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:12.680
or on social media, because you can also send in photo, video, recording, audio,

69
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:15.560
anything you think is creepy, scary that I should share.

70
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:18.360
I will also post on social media. And I also

71
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:21.680
have another event coming up actually speaking of keeping the

72
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:26.519
momentum going. Later this month, on the eighteenth and nineteenth,

73
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:30.120
I will be at the University of New Mexico speaking

74
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:33.439
at the Critical Mystery Studies Symposium. Just to give you

75
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:36.480
a little rundown about this, the Critical Mystery Study Symposium

76
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:40.120
brings together scholars from a variety of fields, including LATINX studies,

77
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:43.839
Indigenous studies, and African studies, to critically and creatively examine

78
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:47.319
the mysteries that surround us. Critical Mystery Studies or CMS,

79
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:52.000
is the critical and interdisciplinary study of mysteries such as ghosts, hauntings,

80
00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:56.240
alien encounters, and monster sidings. This is like a dream

81
00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:59.160
for me. This is like an event that is truly,

82
00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:02.600
truly ca to what SUSTAL is about and the kind

83
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:05.040
of work that I do around SUSTAL. So I'm very

84
00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:07.879
excited about this. So if you happen to be in

85
00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:11.959
New Mexico and you are near the University of New Mexico,

86
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:14.800
we will be gathering on the eighteenth and nineteenth. There

87
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:18.720
are two full day events, so you can learn more

88
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:22.000
by visiting Critical Mystery Studies dot com. There is also

89
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:25.199
a link on my link tree to register if you

90
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:27.839
would like to attend if you're nearby, and I will

91
00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:31.279
share more about that as time goes on. I may

92
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:34.240
or may not be collecting stories around there. It's going

93
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:36.480
to be very exciting and it is going to be

94
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:39.360
happening at Hodgen Hall. All of this information again is

95
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:41.680
available on their website. Just a big thank you to

96
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:44.439
the University of New Mexico and the people who are

97
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:47.160
putting on this event for inviting me and bringing me out.

98
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:49.199
There is a kind of a footnote on the website

99
00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:51.680
and I want to shout them out beforehand. This says

100
00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:54.240
we are supported by the following the Department of Chicano

101
00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:57.240
Chicano Studies, the Department of English, the Institute for American

102
00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:00.560
Indian Research, the Center for Regional Studies of Central LASA,

103
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:03.720
the Southwest Hispanic Research Institute, and the College of Arts

104
00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:06.759
and Sciences. Thank all of you so much for inviting

105
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:09.959
me to be amongst y'all. It's an amazing lineup, y'all.

106
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:12.480
I'm looking at the schedule and there are some really,

107
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:14.959
really cool people that will be speaking here. I did

108
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:18.120
see University of Texas Rio Grande Valley somewhere in the listening,

109
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:21.639
so boot on nine five to six. We are everywhere again.

110
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:23.959
You can learn more about that visit on their website.

111
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:26.399
The link is also on the link treet in my bio.

112
00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:29.199
So that is it for updates again, send in your stories,

113
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:32.360
follow online at Sousto Podcast for any and all updates

114
00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:34.759
on the shows and any events I may be at.

115
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:36.680
Before we jump in, I would like to ask you

116
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:39.959
if you have the time, the space, the energy to

117
00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:43.160
help support SUSAL in the easiest way possible, which is

118
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:47.720
by leaving you your five star and positive ratings and reviews,

119
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:50.720
by interacting with the show wherever you are listening. Again,

120
00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:52.519
it is the easiest way to support and it really

121
00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:54.759
does help me and I truly appreciate it. With that

122
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:57.959
being said, let's go ahead and jump into today's story,

123
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:17.879
which is the legend of Lasi Lampa. Ben heard so

124
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:22.560
much about the beauty of the Yagwanda Forest Reserve, nestled

125
00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:25.720
in the heart of Panama, and the allure of its

126
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:29.240
emerald green canopy was enough to draw him from the

127
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:34.279
city into the wild. After hiking through many forests and

128
00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:37.839
parks throughout the United States, he decided he wanted to

129
00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:42.319
try something less familiar. A friend of Ben's raved about

130
00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:46.079
their hike through the reserve when visiting Panama, He decided

131
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:49.480
a tropical hike would be the perfect place to escape

132
00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:54.240
the chilly November nights. When he entered the reserve, Ben

133
00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:57.720
found a small group of locals eager to welcome him

134
00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:01.319
into their group to explore the forest trail. They shared

135
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:05.439
stories and laughter as they walked, their voices echoing through

136
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.040
the towering trees. There was a sense of unity and

137
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:12.720
safety among the group, their footsteps in sync as they

138
00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:16.800
took in the landscape's natural beauty. The reserve was home

139
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:21.000
to beautiful lakes, rivers, and forests, but did not offer

140
00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:24.600
some of the familiar comforts that state parks and trails

141
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:28.240
offered that Ben was hoping for all he and his

142
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:31.759
group had was what they brought with them. They planned

143
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:35.039
to hike up the mountain, stopping at some waterfalls along

144
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:39.559
the way first, though they needed to get through the forest.

145
00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:44.360
As they moved deeper into the forest, Ben's curiosity got

146
00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:47.679
the better of him. The air was thick with mist

147
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:51.559
caused by a light drizzling of rain, and he couldn't

148
00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:54.519
help but feel that there was more to be explored

149
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:58.759
hidden beyond the well trodden paths. He paused for a

150
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:02.159
moment behind the group to snap photos of the trees

151
00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:05.720
and lush greenery, but as he did, a woman from

152
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:09.720
the group touched his arm. Her name was Rosa, a sturdy,

153
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:13.080
middle aged woman with a face weathered by years under

154
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:16.840
the Panamanian sun and a demeanor as unyielding as the

155
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:20.559
trails she loved to hike. She was well known among

156
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:24.080
the locals for her strength and skill, an avid hiker

157
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:27.360
who could navigate the densest parts of the rainforest with

158
00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:31.399
ease and knew every hidden trail by heart. With her

159
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:36.360
dark piercing eyes and her thick, callous hands, Rosa was

160
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:40.600
a respected guide for others in the forest. She moved

161
00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:45.120
with quiet confidence, carrying an air of caution that only

162
00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:49.399
some one deeply attuned to the land would understand. Her

163
00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:53.720
dark eyes bore into his as she warned him softly,

164
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:59.519
her voice trembling, stay with the group, blessy Lampa lurks

165
00:09:59.559 --> 00:10:02.879
in these forests, especially in the rainy season, when the

166
00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:08.000
fog rolls in. Ben smiled politely, but shrugged off her words.

167
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:11.840
He'd heard enough folk tales, one for every hike he's

168
00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:15.720
been on. He decided that these were just silly superstitions,

169
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:19.559
meant as warnings for inexperienced tigers to scare them into

170
00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:23.840
staying unmarked trails. But Ben wasn't worried about that. He

171
00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:27.159
knew how to handle a hike through a forest. After

172
00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:31.399
a while, against Rosa's warnings, he let his feet lead

173
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:34.720
him off the main trail, lured by the promise of

174
00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:39.360
untouched scenery and quiet solitude. The murmur of his group

175
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:43.480
faded behind him, replaced by the steady drip of rain

176
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:47.759
on leaves. As he ventured deeper into the forest, the

177
00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:51.679
sky darkened and the drizzle turned to rain, soaking his

178
00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:56.480
clothes and weighing down the thick canopy. Ben hadn't anticipated

179
00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:59.799
how quickly the trail would vanish, obscured by the dense

180
00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:04.240
eye undergrowth and tangled roots. Before he realized it, he

181
00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:08.960
was completely off track, surrounded by towering trees and thick

182
00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:12.960
vegetation that seemed to close in around him. The mist

183
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:16.759
was rising, now swirling low to the ground, and the

184
00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:21.720
vibrant green of the forest took on a ghostly, monochromatic hue.

185
00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:24.600
He pulled out his phone, but of course there was

186
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:28.720
no signal. The fog was becoming more dense, turning the

187
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:33.159
world around him into a gray maze. Each step forward

188
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:37.120
felt like a step deeper into some otherworldly realm, as

189
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:41.519
if the forest were shifting around him. And then in

190
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:46.039
the distance, Ben saw something pale moving through the fog.

191
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:50.399
It was barely visible, a flicker of white drifting through

192
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:54.399
the trees like a wisp of smoke. He squinted, trying

193
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:57.639
to make out what it was. Perhaps it was another hiker,

194
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:01.200
or just his eyes playing tricks in the fire. But

195
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:05.600
as he watched, the pale shape began to grow, taking form,

196
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:09.679
and he saw it more clearly, a ghostly white sheet

197
00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:13.200
unfurling like a banner in the mist, but with no

198
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:16.240
person or tree to hold it up. He felt a

199
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:19.960
chill crawl up his spine as the figure drifted closer,

200
00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:24.679
floating above the ground. It was almost beautiful the way

201
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:32.120
it moved, silent, fluid and terrifying. Hello, Ben called, though

202
00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:36.080
his voice felt swallowed by the fog. The sheet stopped,

203
00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:41.559
hovering silently in front of him, and the air grew cold, frigid.

204
00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:46.360
The rain had lessened, and Ben felt the distance between

205
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:51.360
him and the mist closing, pulling him toward its ghostly figure.

206
00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:55.360
His heart pounded and he took a shaky step back.

207
00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:59.519
The old woman's warnings echoed in his mind. La Sie

208
00:12:59.559 --> 00:13:03.960
Lampa lurks in these forests, but it was too late.

209
00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:08.799
The sheet seemed to stretch and expand, filling the air

210
00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:12.159
around him. He tried to run, but his feet felt

211
00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:15.960
rooted to the ground, his body paralyzed by the sudden

212
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:20.200
weight of fear. The figure moved forward, encircling him, and

213
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:24.000
he felt a suffocating chill wrap around his body, pressing

214
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:28.759
into his chest and tightening around his throat. Ben gasped,

215
00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:32.600
trying to scream, but the mist forced its way into

216
00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:37.679
his mouth, cold and endless, stealing his breath. His vision

217
00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:41.399
blurred and his strength drained from him, leaving him. Weak

218
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:45.320
and dazed, he tried to reach out to claw at

219
00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:49.039
the figure that was suffocating him, but his hands passed

220
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:53.720
through the mist, touching only bitter air. When Ben didn't

221
00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:56.960
return to the group by sunset, they began to search

222
00:13:57.000 --> 00:14:00.399
for him. It wasn't until dawn that they found his

223
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:06.360
remains in the fog drenched undergrowth, bones picked clean, lying

224
00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:10.039
in an eerily neat pile among the leaves and vines,

225
00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:15.639
identified only by his scattered belongings. Upon seeing his remains,

226
00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:20.080
Rossa crossed herself, whispering a prayer, for she knew what

227
00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:24.399
had claimed him. Lasi Lampa had struck again, returning to

228
00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:28.559
the mist, waiting for the next soul foolish enough to

229
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:47.960
wander alone into her domain. Welcome back, Ghol friends. All right,

230
00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:51.639
so some quick notes before we jump into the sources again.

231
00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:54.840
Thank you so much to the lovely Jeoffrey Doyle. My man,

232
00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:57.399
my man, my man for putting this together. So a

233
00:14:57.440 --> 00:14:59.759
couple notes here. The first one is Lasi Lampa is

234
00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:02.919
a white mass that scares those who dare to go

235
00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:05.240
out late into the woods. It is said that it

236
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:08.080
can grow several meters in height and vanish once it

237
00:15:08.159 --> 00:15:11.480
catches you. Banama has a long history of exploitation by

238
00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:15.679
America and of natural resources being over harvested. Jeffrey wrote

239
00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:18.320
here that he picked Laguan the Forest as the setting

240
00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:21.440
because it had once been over forested and there's some

241
00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:23.200
more information about the that we're going to get into

242
00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:25.080
in a bit, and it felt like a good representation

243
00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:29.200
of that exploitation of natural resources. It has since been reforested,

244
00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:32.480
mostly thanks to the efforts of women and the local communities,

245
00:15:32.600 --> 00:15:34.759
and it wouldn't surprise me if there was a spirit

246
00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:38.159
there waiting to take revenge on those that exploited Banama

247
00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:40.159
right off the bat. If you've been listening to Susto

248
00:15:40.200 --> 00:15:43.159
for a while, it's very reminiscent of those kinds of

249
00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:48.519
creatures that are these forest dwelling wilderness protectors. Right. We

250
00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:51.200
run into these a lot, Gwen. Those are very popular

251
00:15:51.200 --> 00:15:54.200
ones that are said to kind of protect wild areas.

252
00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:56.519
The other ones aren't really coming to my mind right away.

253
00:15:56.559 --> 00:15:59.399
But you know that we've talked about this archetype before

254
00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:02.200
of like a dit or creature. This is very interesting though,

255
00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:04.240
because this doesn't have and I know, you know, you

256
00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:07.799
could argue about whether or not spirits are physical or

257
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:11.440
solid beings. But this isn't really like a personified I

258
00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:15.360
guess thing. You know, whether it's a spirit or a creature,

259
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:18.519
or a cryptid or monster, whatever it is, there's usually

260
00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:20.759
some sort of like personification. It is a it is

261
00:16:20.799 --> 00:16:24.360
a being, right, This is more kind of like, yes,

262
00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:26.799
a being. I don't know how to explain the difference.

263
00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:29.360
It's like an entity. It's a mist you know. It's

264
00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:31.440
it's missed at the end of the day, Like it

265
00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:35.559
is whether there are cryptids or spirits that take form

266
00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:39.000
of human beings or animals, those are like things. Right,

267
00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:42.720
this is again missed. It's a sheet, if you will.

268
00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:45.759
Some people describe it as like a flowing silky like

269
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:48.159
an actual like bedsheet, if you will. When I was

270
00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:50.639
reading it and in seeing some of this research, I

271
00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:52.320
don't know if you all have seen the movie Nope,

272
00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:55.039
but the alien in Nope, I think they named it

273
00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:57.639
Jeane Jacket towards the end of the movie. And sorry,

274
00:16:57.639 --> 00:16:59.639
some spoilers if you haven't seen it yet, which if

275
00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:02.200
you haven't, go and watch it. It's a great movie.

276
00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:04.240
The way that it kind of moves at the end,

277
00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:07.160
it does have more of like a structure to it.

278
00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:11.359
But that kind of like flowing, fluid movement. And if

279
00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:13.440
you could see me right now, I am literally like

280
00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:15.359
I look like Shakita the way that I'm moving my

281
00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:18.519
arms in my hands. But it is it just it

282
00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:20.880
gave me that kind of picture in my head as

283
00:17:20.920 --> 00:17:23.319
I was imagining it while I was reading through all

284
00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:26.759
of this stuff. So yeah, it just it sounds honestly

285
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:29.119
to me. And of course I'm always on the side

286
00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:33.319
of the monster spirit whatever it is, but it just

287
00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:35.279
it sounds really cool to me. It sounds like it

288
00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:39.000
looks beautiful, right, I don't know, especially in the setting.

289
00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:43.079
I'm seeing this like clearing and just this beautiful, dark green,

290
00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:47.039
lush forest setting and it's raining, so it's gloomy and

291
00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:49.880
it's cold, and then there's just this beautiful sheet just

292
00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:53.519
dancing in the center. Again I'm being Shakida with my arms,

293
00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:56.839
but in my head, it looks cool. It sounds cool.

294
00:17:57.279 --> 00:18:00.359
We'll probably see a little bit of that through these sources.

295
00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:03.240
I'm about to go into them. But some people say

296
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:06.519
that it will even take the form of a woman,

297
00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:10.000
that the way that the sheet drapes itself, it looks

298
00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:13.240
like a woman draped in white or wearing like a long, white,

299
00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:15.720
flowy gown. So if you could imagine kind of like

300
00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:18.119
a sheet ghost, right, how the she kind of just

301
00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:20.599
hangs there. I'm assuming this does that, but because of

302
00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:22.720
the way that it moves or I don't know how

303
00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:25.319
it can shape itself, I don't know. I'm sorry for

304
00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:29.119
saying this, but the phrase supernatural BBL just popped into

305
00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:31.400
my mind. Like, if I was this thing and I

306
00:18:31.400 --> 00:18:34.160
could shape myself to look like anything, I mean, the

307
00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:37.880
possibilities are endless. But also maybe it uses that to

308
00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:41.240
lure in people, Right, it takes the shape of what

309
00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:44.960
they would desire or whatever would attract them, Right, that

310
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:47.559
could be one of its things. Before we go into

311
00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:49.559
the sources I'm about to do that, I will say,

312
00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:52.119
as Jeff and I were talking about this, he was

313
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:54.160
saying and I was going through as well to check.

314
00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:57.319
It was very hard to find a lot of sources

315
00:18:57.680 --> 00:18:59.920
about this. I feel like I've been on a really

316
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:02.359
great streak and I've had a lot of really good

317
00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:06.680
luck finding academic sources about these sorts of things, even

318
00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:10.240
if it's anecdotal evidence that is documented in a quote

319
00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:13.920
academic way. But this one was very interesting. There's not

320
00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:17.039
a ton of stuff out there. So I'm sorry but

321
00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:20.000
we're going to be left with some unanswered questions. But

322
00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:23.880
I invite any of you to please please as always

323
00:19:24.119 --> 00:19:27.680
write in, leave a comment on Spotify, on social media,

324
00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:30.240
send me an email if you know anything about this,

325
00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:32.839
because yeah, a lot of these sources. I will just say,

326
00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:36.799
I wish there was more sources about this, about Lasi Lampa.

327
00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:38.680
I think it'd be super cool. But okay, we're gonna

328
00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:41.440
get into the sources that we do have here. Okay,

329
00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:44.200
so this first one is from a website called Songos

330
00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:46.799
melting pot dot blogspot dot com. And this is an

331
00:19:46.920 --> 00:19:49.359
entry it's from two thousand and seven posted by Eddie

332
00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:52.680
Berto Gonzalesrejos. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

333
00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:56.599
And this is actually a list of Panamanian myths and legends.

334
00:19:56.640 --> 00:19:59.440
It looks like there are ten of them, some of them.

335
00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:03.519
Look famili is on here when there's are on here?

336
00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:06.359
Of course, La si Lampa is right here, u El.

337
00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:09.720
That just sounds like I wonder if that's just like

338
00:20:09.759 --> 00:20:12.200
Elkukui the old man of the forest, right, and then

339
00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:15.359
las brugas or witches. But we are here for the

340
00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:17.799
Si Lampa. It's number seven on this list, and of

341
00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:20.680
course you can find all direct links to these sources

342
00:20:20.720 --> 00:20:22.920
on the sus to Google docs, on Patreon dot com,

343
00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:26.559
slash susta podcast. But this short entry on Silampa just

344
00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:30.839
says on winter or rainy for US nights. So winter

345
00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:33.920
nights in Panama are there, it's their rainy season. The

346
00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:36.920
cold fog comes from the mountains. Is when the si

347
00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:40.519
Lampa appears. It's like a white sheet that flies over

348
00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:44.359
the field. It could be confused with fog. It catches

349
00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:49.559
any incautious I'm assuming any incautious people who walk late

350
00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:52.359
in the night and wraps them up and sucks them

351
00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:55.519
and leaves just the bones. So this is also kind

352
00:20:55.559 --> 00:20:59.799
of giving me the thing, right or or what's literally?

353
00:20:59.799 --> 00:21:02.119
What is that movie? Is The Mist? I mean, but

354
00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:04.680
with the Mist again spoilers, but this movie is from

355
00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:07.400
two thousand and seven, so not really spoilers. It's been

356
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:09.720
I think plenty of time. But with the Mist it

357
00:21:09.720 --> 00:21:12.359
turned out to be aliens, right, but still this idea

358
00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:15.759
of what is and also Lasi Lampa could very well

359
00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:19.119
be an alien, right. It doesn't have to be paranormal

360
00:21:19.119 --> 00:21:21.759
in the sense of spirits. It could be paranormal or

361
00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:24.960
supernatural in the sense of it's something otherworldly. It's alien, right.

362
00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:27.240
I mean the myst would be a great pairing of

363
00:21:27.279 --> 00:21:29.559
a movie to watch with this, But you get what

364
00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:33.240
I'm saying. It's that sort of archetype of paranormal entity,

365
00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:36.559
if you will, like the Thing, the Mist, the Blob. Right,

366
00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:41.279
it's this kind of alien inhuman thing that takes people.

367
00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:44.079
But yeah, that idea of it just leaving the bones.

368
00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:46.480
There's another there's a really cool here it is. It's

369
00:21:46.519 --> 00:21:50.480
the second one. This is from malarkeybooks dot Com. Is

370
00:21:50.920 --> 00:21:54.200
an entry simply just called Lasi Lampa. This was published

371
00:21:54.279 --> 00:21:57.720
in on Halloween of twenty twenty two, two years ago

372
00:21:57.960 --> 00:22:00.920
by an Eric Williams. This is a story, and this

373
00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:05.079
is a great story. I read. The whole thing is amazing. Again,

374
00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:08.000
it's called Malarkey books dot com. I need to find

375
00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:10.640
this author and see if they have more writing, because

376
00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:12.519
I love the way that they read this story. This

377
00:22:12.559 --> 00:22:15.079
is about Lasi Lampa. One thing that I or like

378
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:17.599
a what's it called a sort of an excerpt that

379
00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:19.119
I wanted to take from the story that I thought

380
00:22:19.160 --> 00:22:22.119
was really interesting was the description of what it looked like.

381
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:24.680
So Eric Williams if you're out there and you hear this,

382
00:22:24.880 --> 00:22:28.160
please let me know if this was just fool your imagination,

383
00:22:28.319 --> 00:22:30.680
or where you may have gotten some of the inspiration

384
00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:33.759
for the appearance of Lasi Lampa, because again, not a

385
00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:35.759
lot is out there from what we were able to find.

386
00:22:35.880 --> 00:22:38.839
It's a short fiction and it says, quote, what does

387
00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:42.759
it look like? I asked, impressed with Nemessia's somber tone,

388
00:22:43.079 --> 00:22:45.480
like nothing else in the jungle. My grandmother said she

389
00:22:45.599 --> 00:22:48.759
saw one once long ago, when she was young. She

390
00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:51.160
had gone into the jungle to meet a lover and

391
00:22:51.319 --> 00:22:53.519
been caught in the rain. On her way back home,

392
00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:57.440
the mists had risen, and Lassie Lampa came floating between

393
00:22:57.480 --> 00:23:01.200
the trees, riding the fog. It was and shapeless like

394
00:23:01.240 --> 00:23:03.880
the mist, though she said that when it rose up

395
00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:06.559
it was like a burial shroud blowing in the wind.

396
00:23:06.920 --> 00:23:09.240
I have heard others say that it sometimes looks like

397
00:23:09.279 --> 00:23:12.119
a woman all in white, though that is but a

398
00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:15.119
trick it plays to lure the unwary. It is a

399
00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:19.160
terrible thing. So again I wonder if the shape that

400
00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:21.559
it takes, when it takes a human shape, is it

401
00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:24.680
always a woman, or does it and you know, could

402
00:23:24.680 --> 00:23:26.799
it be a man for some people? Could it be

403
00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:30.519
someone not on the binary, or like, could it be

404
00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:33.640
something else? Like could it you know, it's this fluid

405
00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:36.720
kind of sheet. What shape could it take to lure

406
00:23:36.839 --> 00:23:39.680
someone into the wild? Could it be someone's child, a

407
00:23:39.759 --> 00:23:42.559
lost loved one that they're trying to find. Yeah, it's

408
00:23:42.599 --> 00:23:44.319
just like it's able to play a trick. So I

409
00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:46.759
just again, I want to know more about the details

410
00:23:46.759 --> 00:23:48.559
of what this thing looks like. It was hard to

411
00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:51.880
find the origins other than it is from Banama. The

412
00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:55.519
next one is called Live and Invest Overseas. I'm not

413
00:23:55.559 --> 00:23:57.880
exactly sure what that means. I don't want to promote

414
00:23:57.880 --> 00:24:00.799
anybody to go gentrify places, but I'm not gonna make

415
00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:02.119
assumptions because i don't know what the rest of this

416
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:06.319
website looks. But it looks like. But this says Halloween

417
00:24:06.359 --> 00:24:10.000
and Panama Popular Myths and Legends Scary Panamanian Stories is

418
00:24:10.039 --> 00:24:14.759
on the Dark. This is by Heraline Gunzalez, published in

419
00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:17.799
October twenty ninth, twenty twenty one. Oh my god. Of

420
00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:20.680
course they're Halloween legends, right, or legends that are being

421
00:24:20.720 --> 00:24:22.880
posted on Halloween. But this one again, it's kind of

422
00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:25.359
like a listicle. It has a bunch of different entries,

423
00:24:25.640 --> 00:24:27.680
but what we took from this one is that they

424
00:24:27.720 --> 00:24:30.960
wrote it's again a short, a short entry on Lasi Lampa.

425
00:24:31.000 --> 00:24:33.359
It's one of like the shorter entries in these lists,

426
00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:35.680
but it says Lasi Lampa is also known as the

427
00:24:35.720 --> 00:24:39.440
Mother of the Night. Legend says she comes out at midnight,

428
00:24:39.680 --> 00:24:43.839
especially on dark winter in parentheses rainy season nights. She

429
00:24:43.960 --> 00:24:46.720
takes the form of a white shadow that grows quickly

430
00:24:46.799 --> 00:24:49.519
until looks bigger than a palm tree. She then keeps

431
00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:52.720
growing until she's suddenly out of sight. If you don't

432
00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:56.400
run for shelter or stand under a palm tree, you're doomed.

433
00:24:56.880 --> 00:24:59.799
There's that element of the vampire right where you need

434
00:24:59.839 --> 00:25:03.279
to be invited in to enter. For some reason, Leasi

435
00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:06.880
Lampa cannot enter shelter. And I'm just curious about the

436
00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:10.599
idea of a palm tree, Like why standing under a tree? Well,

437
00:25:10.799 --> 00:25:13.720
I'm not sure. Here it says just under a tree.

438
00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:17.079
But also palm trees are native to Banama, So I'm

439
00:25:17.119 --> 00:25:19.480
gonna go with palm trees just because there's some relevance there.

440
00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:22.799
But so something really quick, super fast Google search says,

441
00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:25.920
what is the spiritual use of palm trees? These elegant

442
00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:30.880
and beautiful trees symbolize resilience, victory, fertility, peace and tranquility.

443
00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:34.000
They serve as perfect omens or amulets, reminding us of

444
00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:37.279
our own strength and resilience. Additionally, they provide a gentle

445
00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:41.279
reminder to seek inner peace and serenity. So I wonder

446
00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:44.200
if that has anything to do with it. You also

447
00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:46.359
see palm trees a lot, again bringing it back to

448
00:25:46.400 --> 00:25:48.960
my own experience, but in the Catholic Church there's palm Sunday,

449
00:25:49.160 --> 00:25:52.200
you know, with the dried palm leaves, we make the

450
00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:54.400
sign of the cross, or we make a little crucifix.

451
00:25:54.440 --> 00:25:57.160
And then there's still one hanging over the front door

452
00:25:57.200 --> 00:25:59.000
of my mom's house. I know that for sure, So

453
00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:01.079
I don't know. This may be maybe there is like

454
00:26:01.119 --> 00:26:05.400
a spiritual connection to palm trees that offer protection against

455
00:26:05.519 --> 00:26:07.920
Lasi lampa if you are being chased and you are

456
00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:11.400
able to outrun her. And the last thing that I

457
00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:15.640
have here is from my guide Banama dot com just

458
00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:21.240
says Leyeguada Forest Reserve, Banama. This doesn't have a byline

459
00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:25.119
or when it was published, but here In our notes,

460
00:26:25.160 --> 00:26:28.680
it says Layeguada is located in Calobre, Braguas and is

461
00:26:28.720 --> 00:26:32.200
the first forest reserve in the country. It was created

462
00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:35.119
in nineteen sixty to protect the basin of San Juan

463
00:26:35.240 --> 00:26:38.200
River in order to supply clean and abundant water to

464
00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:41.799
the Yeguada Hydroelectric plant. This area is now one of

465
00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:44.440
the best camping sites in the country because of its

466
00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:48.880
beautiful lakes, rivers, waterfall and mountainous scenery. In addition, this

467
00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:51.799
forest reserve is the location of one of the oldest

468
00:26:51.839 --> 00:26:56.960
experiences of reforestation with Pinus Caribbeer in Central America, which

469
00:26:57.000 --> 00:27:00.440
began in nineteen sixty seven, again mainly by women, and

470
00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:04.880
now has over two thousand hectares planted in harvesting states

471
00:27:05.240 --> 00:27:07.599
that were at hectares. We hadded recently, hectar is a

472
00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:09.839
measure of land. I forget exactly what the measure is,

473
00:27:09.880 --> 00:27:11.559
but I know it's a lot. So think of like

474
00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:14.119
acres hectares. I think is the next step up that

475
00:27:14.240 --> 00:27:16.279
is a lot of land. But from this website itself,

476
00:27:16.319 --> 00:27:19.759
it says this forest reserve is a protected area under

477
00:27:19.759 --> 00:27:23.279
the responsibility of a n a M National Authority for

478
00:27:23.359 --> 00:27:26.440
the Environment, So there is an admission fee to access

479
00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:30.400
and a camping permit fee. This also says was kind

480
00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:32.920
of like nodded to in the story that it doesn't

481
00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:35.640
have the same sort of amenities, if you will, as

482
00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:38.680
state parks and trails that someone might be used to

483
00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:41.559
in the States. That says, there are not many services

484
00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:44.000
in this area, so you need to come prepared. You

485
00:27:44.039 --> 00:27:47.200
will only find one rural toilet and you can get

486
00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:50.319
water from the park ranger's office. So whenever we all

487
00:27:50.359 --> 00:27:53.519
go to La Jagualala Forests, we're going to pack our

488
00:27:53.559 --> 00:27:56.920
tissue paper and our wipes and a trash bag to

489
00:27:56.960 --> 00:27:59.839
carry with us because always leave it how you found it, right.

490
00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:03.039
And also, just looking through these pictures, this is a

491
00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:06.480
beautiful park. Oh my god, I want to go hiking

492
00:28:06.839 --> 00:28:08.799
so bad, and this is the perfect season to do

493
00:28:08.799 --> 00:28:11.759
it because it's not punishingly hot in Texas. Yeah, those

494
00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:27.880
are all the sources that we have for Lasi Lampa.

495
00:28:28.200 --> 00:28:32.000
Welcome back, ghool friends, Thank you so much for tuning

496
00:28:32.039 --> 00:28:36.039
in to today's episode of Sousto. We are kind of

497
00:28:36.079 --> 00:28:38.799
back in the swing of things. It is holiday season,

498
00:28:38.960 --> 00:28:42.000
so I am going to do what I did last

499
00:28:42.079 --> 00:28:45.720
year for December and for each week of December, I

500
00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:49.440
will have a feed swap with some of my favorite podcasts.

501
00:28:49.519 --> 00:28:51.680
I got great response from you all last year. You

502
00:28:51.720 --> 00:28:54.799
were excited to hear about shows that you maybe hadn't

503
00:28:54.799 --> 00:28:57.000
heard before. So and the same thing that I said

504
00:28:57.039 --> 00:29:00.359
earlier about events and collaborating with other people stuff that

505
00:29:00.440 --> 00:29:03.440
applies to this. So if you have podcast recommendations that

506
00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:05.319
you think I think SUSA would like this, or I

507
00:29:05.319 --> 00:29:09.160
think my fellow girlfriends would like this show, please send

508
00:29:09.200 --> 00:29:11.319
them to me, recommend them to me, and who knows

509
00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:13.519
they may be in the feed swap for December. That

510
00:29:13.599 --> 00:29:16.559
also gives me some time to take off, but an actual,

511
00:29:16.640 --> 00:29:20.119
like planned holiday break versus just I'm tired, I need

512
00:29:20.119 --> 00:29:22.599
to stop for a second, and also time to plan

513
00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:25.359
ahead for the new year. So again, it is now

514
00:29:25.480 --> 00:29:29.839
November December. You will be getting those really fun feed

515
00:29:29.920 --> 00:29:32.319
swaps again. If you're unfamiliar at feed swap is just

516
00:29:32.359 --> 00:29:35.359
when I exchange an episode with another show. So instead

517
00:29:35.400 --> 00:29:37.799
of posting my own episodes in December, I will post

518
00:29:38.039 --> 00:29:41.039
that other show's episodes, and vice versa, they will post

519
00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:44.279
me on their feed, just to introduce each other's audience

520
00:29:44.359 --> 00:29:46.480
to us to other shows I don't know. I just

521
00:29:46.519 --> 00:29:48.519
think it's fun. I like to let you all in

522
00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:50.880
on what I'm listening to and what I'm enjoying. So

523
00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:53.279
with that being said, you can expect that for the

524
00:29:53.279 --> 00:29:56.079
month of December and then January we'll be jumping back

525
00:29:56.160 --> 00:29:58.640
into it once again. You can keep up with any

526
00:29:58.680 --> 00:30:01.079

527
00:30:01.119 --> 00:30:04.880
