Back in the 19th century the Inquisition made one of its last performances. There was a man who brought books on spiritualism on a ship from abroad in order to share them with many local people who were interested in them. However, in 1861 his books were found by the authorities and the Inquisition kept them. The religious organization made the decision of setting fire to all the books, just to scare people of reading them. What they achieved was quite the opposite though. The man who used to bring them kept doing it and there was an increasing number of fans of spiritualism, much to the Inquisition's rage. When this man died he was not allowed to be buried in the cemetery due to his beliefs, which the religious thought was diabolical.

A Short Text It was a dark night and he was driving his motorcycle on a lonely road through the forest. Apart from the darkness, it was misty and cold so the night was absolutely awful. At one point the lights of his motorcycle allowed him to see a figure. Who could be there at that time of night? He came closer and could see a woman in a white tunic with a expresionless face. Then he heard clearly these words: "You are not going to get home tonight." What happened afterwards was a bit odd. He slowed down just in time to see a deer in the middle of the road avoiding crashing into it. He got such an impression from this incident that refuses to drive through this road at night.

A Short Text It's a cold night in 1971 at a military base in Spain. Everything is as usual until the dogs begin to bark insistently. A soldier tries to calm them down, but with no success. He comes back inside until the barks get louder and louder and they become howls. Two soldiers walk out and go to the place where the dogs are when they see something in the sky. It's something rounded and well lit, actually it's an UFO since they have no clue of what it is. Shortly afterwards they hear something similar to footsteps, so they catch the dogs and go to where the sound comes from. Suddenly they see a very tall figure coming closer, they would tell afterwards that the figure was more than 2 metres tall. It seems as if he were running towards them and the soldiers' fear increases. They tell the figure to stop twice but he doesn't. When he is as close as five metres the soldiers begin to shoot at him. At one point he stops for a moment, stares at them and then turns off his heel and goes. Is it possible that they have missed all their shots? It seems so since they go after him but he is nowhere to be seen.

Just a Short Text Edgar Allan Poe lost his parents when he was just two years old. He was brought up in England by a businessman with whom his relationship was not the best either. He came back to America where he studied and went to the university, although he was expelled due to his fondness for alcohol and gambling. After he published his first book he began to work as a literary critic, where he had a reputation for being merciless in his judgements. He had time for joining the army for a couple of years as well. As far as his literary work is concerned he was the absolute master of horror stories, although he loved poetry. Mr Poe wrote many short stories, a genre which he considered to be the best for the reader. He married one of his cousins and their marriage was not very happy due to her health issues which ended up with her passing away in 1847. Mr Poe died only two years afterwards. He was found unconscious on the street and it was said that it was because of his drugs and alcohol addictions.

Unsolved Murder The night of August 1st 1980 somebody walked in a rich villa in the outskirts of Madrid and killed the two occupants of the house. The unfortunate were a well-off couple who owned a bank. However, at the time of the crime the business was not what it had been. The investigation left a lot to be desired and the police chief put in command a complete novice who was a friend of the son of the victims.So a year afterwards Rafael Escobedo (the victim's ex son -in-law) was arrested. He admitted having spent the night in the villa since he was a son of the victim's friend, but he denied being the murderer. He was sent to prison and some years afterwards he took his own life in the cell. At the same time the police were after a friend of Rafael's, who ran away and spent many years in South America. Many journalists who investigated the case said that there was no evidence to send Rafael to prison and that the victims'son along with one of his employees burnt many compromising documents the day after the murder. Other investigators said that there is no question about that the crime was commited by Rafael and his friend. One way or the other it was never known who killed the couple and why.
