This story was told to me one night when I was about 17 years old. I am now 27 and still remember the story like it was told to me just yesterday. My family had all been together that weekend for our yearly "get together" and all the adults were telling old storys of storys they had heard and so forth. Well the later it got the more we wanted to hear storys of superstition and ghosts. After several storys I asked my mother to tell us if she had ever experienced anything strange or out of the ordinary.

She hesititated at first but then told us about a time when her older brothers had been coming home late one evening at about 11:00 at night .The boys were taking a shortcut through a batch of woods that used to be near the house in Zavala county Tx. Well, the boys were walking along when they heard a baby crying in the distance. When my uncle Jose wanted to look for the crying baby, my younger uncle John told him to keep walikng and ignore the cries. The further they kept walking the louder the cries got and eventually my two uncles came upon a baby wrapped up in a blanket in the middle of the "monte" or woods.

My uncle Joe insisted they help the child and when he opened the blanket to see the baby the thing inside the blanket was not a baby but according to my uncle , was a demon-like thing with red eyes that hissed at him when he opened the blanket. My other uncle screamed and ran off as well as my other uncle they claim that the baby chased them until the reached the end of the woods. When they got home everyone was outside and the boys were screaming that something was chasing them and they were white as ghosts themselves. this was back in 1957 and my uncles are much older and even till this date my uncles swear what happened is true and are very frightened when asked to retell the story.
