00:03
Hey guys, my name is Laura.
00:05
I remember when I was little, my grandma was like, he's an angel
00:12
that protects you and you have to pray to him.
00:14
And I'm like, so there's a ghost hovering over me and you want
00:20
How does it protect me?
00:22
I didn't understand the concept.
00:23
I was like, I don't want a guardian angel.
00:24
I'm good after she tells me there's a guardian angel already
00:29
She's like, and I'm like, what in the hell is?
00:36
Apparently that's the devil in Colombia.
00:38
They call him the feet.
00:41
If you don't pray to your guardian angel, he grabs you by the
00:43
feet and he drags you down to hell.
00:46
So now I have to pray to this guardian angel.
00:48
So that the doesn't get me.
00:50
Do you understand what that does to a little girl?
00:53
I was traumatized for a very long time.
00:55
By the time I started trusting my guardian angel, I was in second
00:58
grade and I was like, ok, I'm cool with my guardian angel.
01:00
You know, he protects me.
01:01
But then I caught a glimpse of the movie Chook, the worst movie
01:04
any child could see.
01:06
First of all, he comes out flying out the closet trying to kill
01:10
I'm freaking out because I have like a million dolls in my bedroom
01:15
I would take all of my dolls, no doll left behind.
01:19
And I would put them in my parents' closet, let them deal with
01:22
They're grown ups, they'll know what to do.
01:24
I don't know what I'm about to do with the killer doll in my room
01:27
So I'm like, you know what they're gonna be in your possession
01:29
Now, then in the morning, what I would do is I would wake up.
01:32
Everyone take back my dolls, play with them.
01:36
Everyone put them back.
01:37
I couldn't sleep with dolls in my room after I watched Chuy
01:40
I just couldn't, I'm not trying to get killed by my barbies
01:42
This went on for about five years from when I was seven years
01:45
old until I was 12 years old.
01:46
I thought that all my barbies were out to kill me.
01:48
You know what it was also that now that I think about it, my mom
01:51
had just married my step dad when I was seven years old and usually
01:53
I slept with her and then when they got married, my mom started
01:56
sleeping with my stepdad and not with me.
01:58
So I guess I used subconsciously chook, I'd be like, mama,
02:02
you have to sleep with me.
02:03
Chuy's gonna kill me.
02:04
She's like, Lou dad Chuy is not going to kill you.
02:07
I'm like, how do you know he's not gonna kill me?
02:09
You don't know that you're not there.
02:11
You don't listen to the sounds of night.
02:13
There was no sounds.
02:14
I was ratchet as a little girl.
02:15
I just didn't want my mom to sleep with my stepdad.
02:20
Oops, finally, when I was 12 years old, I was introduced to
02:22
Christianity and someone was like, oh, come to my church and
02:25
then I became a Christian and I was like, you know what, I'm
02:28
not gonna be scared of anything because Jesus got my back.
02:30
And so, you know, I believed that for a really long time until
02:32
I was like 18 years old and, you know, real life started happening
02:36
as I grew basically, I just figured there was a lot of worse
02:39
things out there than, or and ghosts didn't scare me.
02:45
What did your parents tell you when you were little to scare
02:48
Were there any ghosts?
02:51
I remember my mom had a story about that.
02:53
Apparently she appeared to her watch it.
03:00
Oh, and Happy Halloween.
