Siggy´s Chest of Old Tales

[Sigfried]

((most of the stories no, as i said before, they all are translations i made of spanish legends and local tales from my country, except for the first story, which unfortunately, is true))


Kasandra

another spaniel legend, translated and told by Sigfried B) :

This history narrates in a dam in Granada, \"The Dam of the children \ ", is a dam that by much drought that finds, never, never will dry out, always being full. Also that dam to its heights has an open terrain with flowers and two hills, one has a tree that has too many leaves for a normal tree and the other just like the other one, but dry, always dry for Kasandra.

This happened in summer, Manuel wanted to go there with his friends, so they were. Her sister already had heard speak of that legend, but with different commentaries and things, when his sister was helping a friend of his brother to unload the refreshments, she saw an old woman in a chair, she watched to her, her glance was cosy and she did signs to her to come. She went to her and then she said to her:

- Hello- it said to her amiably - surely that you have heard speak of Kasandra, poor woman, she was almost your same age when she and her fiancè died by her father. He mistreated her, at night saw her with her fiancè in the tree, the boy was hanged and she was drowned in the dam, why do you think that so many people died there?. She left pale.

- In that tree Kasandra was buried, but in the highest place is writen Kasandra#Ivan. You are going to hear shouts tonight and in addition you will hear the chains. She gave a weak smile.

- I dont believe it, my parents have brought my brother with his friends, then they will hear it, not me.

The woman was right, the car was broken. She was not the only girl, because she was with the sister of one of the friends of Manuel. All of them slept in a separate campaign, there was a hideous heat. The this that she told everything to her friend, she didnt believed it so they hoped all the night to see if the old lady was right in everything, at midnight they heard shouts and chains. On the following day, they couldnt find the old woman. Who was her??, no one knows...

A Soul Without A Face

((grammar warning, like few of the other stories, i strongly advice to refrain the comments in my grammar, it will make me cry  , after all this was done a looong time ago and my english was as bad as McCain being chased by Pedo Bear))

at 2:00am, a watchman was giving the round in the ground floor, and to the distant spot saw a strange man with cuts and torn rags with a broken dirty and white shirt, apparently was floating in the air, the watchman (thinking that he was a new man in the building) came close to that strange man, but when the man turned around to the watchman, he felt a chill through his body, that man had not a face!. The watchman blinked, and no longer that man was, that same night the watchman forgot the event, and went to the bathroom, but felt that somebody touched him on the shoulder to say to him, he truns rapidly and saw nothing. To the following morning, he alerted the janitor, all of them forgot the subject.

Years later, a new guard arrived and the others told the legend to him, he always believed in those things, he tought on being alert, since then when he walked down to ground floor, felt somebody was following and watched him, he went with his friends (they related the legend to him) and then he told the events, they said to him that also it happened to them but they said to him to not worry about it, that it was nothing.

Months or years soon, in the vacations he went with his dad as usual, but this time there were his older cousins, some guys, friends of his dad and him. He told everything to his cousins, but until the night nobody said nothing of the subject, later that night, around 1:00 am, he were seated near the swimming pool with some friends, to 3:00 am, his dad send him to sleep, and he went up with 2 of his cousins.

When they arrived, nobody was around and everything was dark, and they thought about speaking awhile before to sleep, one of them told something very similar about the watchman, and he told that he had a head, but no face, he worried, and then he remembered that before sleeping he had to give the keys of the apartment to my, and one of my cousins had to remain, the other cousin went with him. They ran where his dad was and they gave the keys to him, he felt as if someone was watching him, and then at night he saw a human figure by the dark, and his feet did not touch the ground, when they went up to the apartment, he said to his cousin if he saw him, but he saw nothing! he said that he listened to something like moans.

Months passed, and in the vacations when the guard arrived, one of his friends said to him that he was walking through the ground floor at dawn and he felt that something touched his shoulder, and IT WAS A FACE! floating in the air, he didnt asked anything else.

Some believe that the face is a soul looking for, others said that he was an angel, to others that was his guardian angel, others that it was an inoffensive soul, what do you think??
