São Thomé das Letras, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil
07/2005

Outro história minha aconteceu quando eu voltei novamente para a cidade de São Tomé das Letras. Como sempre, eu, minha família e um amigo do meu irmão fomos para essa cidade para comemorar o aniversário desse amigo dele. Nessa cidade já sabiámos que havia duas escolas (provável que de magia, ou algo do tipo, não sabemos com detalhes), uma delas é um portão dourado, onde na frente tem uma pantera, um leão, um unicórnio e um pentagrama. Já a outra tem um muro quadriculado (igual de castelo) e tem as cores vermelha e preto, a qual está no caminho para a gruta que fomos visitar, chamada gruta da bruxa. Deixamos tudo no hotel de trânsito, pois iríamos entrar na gruta, então, celular, relógio, tudo foi deixado, não sabíamos que dia era, apenas que era sexta-feira. Quando voltamos ao anoitecer, passamos pela "escola" vermelha e preta, onde meu pai para botar medo, desligou o carro e os faróis, e foi possível ouvir muita música (não era músicas do cotidiano, parecia mais uma melodia), com gritos de animação, parecia ter bastante gente, um ar místico. Quando meu pai ligou o carro novamente, avistamos uma mulher muito pálida vestida com um manto vinho e com capuz segurando algo que não conseguimos ver na mão (minha mãe diz ser um escudo, mas não temos certeza). Ela estava na frente de uma estrutura velha abandonada no meio da estrada, não sabemos se era uma casa. Meu pai resolveu parar o carro ao lado da moça e o amigo do meu irmão quis tirar uma "onda", abriu o vidro e disse "e aí moça, tudo certo?". A mulher com uma expressão quase de uma estátua ou manequim, não mexeu o pescoço em nenhum momento, nem piscou os olhos. Achamos estranho por ela estar parada ali na estrada de terra, por volta das 21:00h. Fato importante, o amigo do meu pai e sua família foi nosso guia na gruta, ele estava no carro da frente e passou pela mesma estrada e ninguém que estava no carro com ele viram a suposta mulher na estrada como nós vimos. Ficamos uns 2minutos parados esperando ela falar, mas quando notamos sua expressão estranha meu pai acelerou o carro e fomos embora. Ao chegar no centrinho típico da cidade, encontramos o amigo do meu pai onde soubemos que era sexta-feira 13, por isso a comemoração escutada, e também que eles não tinham visto nada no caminho. Indagados, meu pai, meu irmão, seu amigo e os filhos do amigo do meu pai voltaram até o local para ver se a moça ainda estava lá, mas ela já não estava mais. Translated: Another story of mine happened when I returned to the city of São Tomé das Letras. As always, me, my family and a friend of my brother went to this city to celebrate his friend's birthday. In that city we already knew that there were two schools (probably of magic, or something like that, we don't know in detail), one of them is a golden gate, where in front there is a panther, a lion, a unicorn and a pentagram. The other has a checkered wall (just like a castle) and has the colors red and black, which is on the way to the cave we went to visit, called the witch's cave. We left everything at the transit hotel, as we were going to enter the cave, so, cell phone, watch, everything was left, we didn't know what day it was, just that it was Friday. When we returned at dusk, we passed the red and black "school", where my father, to scare us, turned off the car and the headlights, and it was possible to hear a lot of music (it wasn't everyday music, it seemed more like a melody), with screams of animation, there seemed to be a lot of people, a mystical air. When my father started the car again, we saw a very pale woman dressed in a burgundy cloak and hood holding something we couldn't see in her hand (my mother says it was a shield, but we're not sure). She was in front of an old abandoned structure in the middle of the road, we don't know if it was a house. My father decided to stop the car next to the girl and my brother's friend wanted to take a "wave", he opened the window and said "hey girl, everything okay?". The woman, with an expression almost like a statue or mannequin, did not move her neck at any point, nor did she blink her eyes. We thought it was strange that she was standing there on the dirt road, at around 9:00 pm. Important fact, my father's friend and his family were our guide in the cave, he was in the car in front and passed along the same road and no one who was in the car with him saw the supposed woman on the road like we did. We stood for about 2 minutes waiting for her to speak, but when we noticed her strange expression, my father accelerated the car and we left. Upon arriving at the city's typical center, we met my father's friend where we learned that it was Friday the 13th, hence the celebration heard, and also that they hadn't seen anything on the way. When asked, my father, my brother, his friend and my father's friend's children returned to the place to see if the girl was still there, but she was no longer there.

What Is A Liminal Map?

Spooky things happen every day all around us! Instead of brushing these peculiar moments and bizarre encounters off as chance, or mere coincidence, what if we talked about them, mapped them, and tried to decode the message?

Is there a specific place where you've seen fairies, ghosts, bigfoot, time travelers, extraterrestrials, ultraterrestrials, crow conferences, sentient lawn computers, lanyard'd ogres, broccoli wizards, etc.? Does your town have an urban legend you'd love to get to the bottom of?
