On November 17, 2008 my father comes to the house and tells me to accompany him to a trip for the Amazon (Venezuela) to take some things from work, I say no, I did not want to go, but he insisted so much that I could deny myself, my dad called two colleagues from his job and told them they were going out together since they were also going to that area in their car. It was 9 pm that same day and I went to my room to sleep because the trip was the next day at 5 am and I wanted to rest as much as I could because the trip was 16 hours. At about 4:30 am and I still asleep I hear a very distant voice, when I wake up I see that it was my dad who was telling me to wake up that it was time to go out, I went to shower and brush my teeth. We left just at 5 am and went to the service station that is on the main road, because there was the point of meeting between us and my father's companions. They were already waiting for us at the service station, we had breakfast there and then we went to our destination.

to reach Amazonas we had to go through several states, in each of them we stopped to rest for a while.
as at 3 pm we did not stop in a city called puerto ordaz for lunch, we had lunch in a very good restaurant, then we went to our destination, from there to reach amazonas it was a desolate and wooded road, controlled by the guerrillas.
They were already several hours away, we decided not to have dinner to see if we arrived earlier, it was very late and we were still on the way, I remember that the sky was dark, there was no moon or stars but it was cloudy, it was like 10 pm approximately when suddenly I see a woman who comes out of the forest and was levitating, practically was in the air about two feet high, I could not see her feet, she had a black dress very torn, her face full of marks like of past cuts It was a very difficult image to forget, I was very assuated and cold, in that I say to my dad, that if he saw the woman who was crossing in the way of us, the mocking tone tells me that there there is no one to leave it standing still, I was able to immediately turn around and I see that it is crossing from one side of the road to the other and it was moving slowly as if the car were standing still at a speed of 120 km / h.

already being too scared without being able to leave my words and about to cry for such a horrible image I could shout to my dad that she was in front of us crossing the road and he was surprised the way I was, he says calmate we stop A little further on because that area was very threatened by the guerrillas, and as a reflection we looked back where their co-workers who came following us in their car came and saw that they left the road and had an accident, my father stopped Immediately, I looked towards the front of the car and since the woman was not there, we got off quickly to help them.
I got out of the car very scared we got to where they were and we managed to get the driver, he was aware, thank God nothing happened to him only a few small cuts in the forehead but nothing serious, we went to help the co-pilot and we see that he is fainted and some cuts in the arm.

at that time 12:30 no one was there to help us, it was when my dad said he was going to take the co-pilot to the nearest town to get the first aid, that I stayed in the car taking care of him while the help arrived, I very scared I said no and he tells me that this was the only way to know that his classmates were fine.
He went with them in our car and I just stayed there, scared, I felt that I needed the breath, all kinds of shadow and noises I thought it was a ghost or something, it had been like 2 hours there and I was about to be dismembered of fear when I see in the distance some car lights approaching.
my legs trembled, I could not coordinate my movements, because I did not know who was coming, if it was the guerrilla or a person who could help me.
It turns out that it was an ambulance that had been sent from the hospital and behind the police that came to see the accident, I could not be happier to see other people.
I went with the ambulance to the hospital where my dad and his companions were, when I arrived at the site I saw my father in the entrance of the hospital, I went down quickly and I went and hugged him, I got tears with everything that happened.
he tells me that his companions are fine, that they only had small cuts in the body that were saturated, we waited for them to leave the emergency room, they lasted an hour longer in emergencies, it was 6 am if I remember correctly when I saw them out of there, they began to tell us how it all happened and my surprise was that they left the road because they saw a woman dressed in black who was crossing her path just behind us and wanted to dodge her so as not to run over her.

At that time I gave thanks to God because only I could see that woman and not my father, because if that were the case we would have had an accident and would not have been telling them this at this time.
We went to where the car was, there was a crane that took the car and we returned to our homes.
to this day my father keeps remembering that episode and he apologizes for not believing me and I answered that it was better not to do it.
That was the last trip we made to those places and I do not think I'll come back again.
