While a couple of agents will stay with their parents and listen to the whole story from their mouths, Inspector Negri and two other agents entered the apartment. Inspector José Negri and his team arrived on site in the night, finding parents and children outside the house, in the rain, terrified. On November 27th, 1992, the Gutierrez family decided to call the police. On November 1st, 1993, two years after Estefanía’s death, his photo hanging in the living room caught fire, and the part that burned was just the one depicting his face, while neither the frame nor the nearby objects showed any damage. Another night, the little daughters wake up terrified, with their wrists being slammed violently against the wall. One night, the mother hears someone touching her hands and feet while she sleeps.

The mother hears the screaming voice of Estefanía calling her from the rooms of the house, the laughter of an old man crossing the walls, glass breaking without explanation, objects moving, doors opening and closing on their own. The autopsy fails to explain the reasons for the death, mentioning “sudden and suspicious death.”įrom the moment when Estefanía dies, the paranormal phenomena in the Gutierrez house escalated.

The day after, on July 14th, Estefanía had a serious attack of catalepsy: she is taken to the hospital in a state of coma, and she dies that night. During the final peak of his attacks, on July 13th, 1991, Estefanía violently attacked his sister Marianela, who ended up on the floor, with foam coming out of her mouth. The parents took her to different hospitals, trying to find the reason for her illnesses, but the doctors were never able to find anything. Estefanía described strange human forms that came to visit her at night, with no face, wearing a cloak, asking her to come with them. The girls present that day said that they saw smoke emanating from the glass of the Ouija board, and Estefanía inhaled that smoke.įrom that moment, the adolescent begins to suffer from insomnia, hallucinations and epileptic seizures. A teacher found them and tore the Ouija board apart. Estefanía begins to be interested in occult phenomena and one day, at school, she takes part of a spiritual evocation with an Ouija board, together with two schoolmates. The protagonist of the Vallecas Case is Estefanía Gutierrez Lázaro, a Madrid-born teenager who lived with her family in that apartment in Vallecas.
PARANORMAL WITNESS EXORCISM MOVIE
The movie Veronica, directed by Paco Plaza ( REC) and produced by Netflix, is inspired by this story, even if the events shown in the film are quite different than the real story. It is one of the most famous cases among lovers of occult cases in Spain, and it has gone down in history for being the first case of paranormal phenomena to be documented in an official police report.

The Vallecas Case is named after the Madrid neighborhood where, in an apartment in Calle Luís Marín 8, a repeated sequence of paranormal phenomena took place, requiring even police intervention.
