My daughters decided to take a short cut—through the don Pancho’s lands—because it was getting dark. There they saw the devil hiding among the cattle and disguised as cow. In fear they entrusted themselves to the Virgin of San Juan and ran away to the house. Thanks to the Virgin’s protection the demon couldn’t catch them and didn’t put any curse on them.

We thank the Virgin of San Juan because it’s incredible that we managed to sell the haunted house, that we had inherited, to a very eccentric gentleman. When he found out about the ghosts and the apparitions he payed us even more.

It was getting dark, when an enormous and horrible ghost appeared to us on a desert highway. I didn’t know what to do. I closed my eyes and entrusted myself to the Virgin of San Juan. She drove our car through the ghost. When I opened my eyes, the ghost had disappeared. I thank the Virgin for saving us from this crying creature.

Saturday night, my friend Luisa and I went to see a horror film. After the movie we went in a dark alley and there we saw with fear the vampiress flying towards us. She was about to attack us, but I grabbed the crucifix that I wore on my neck. The monster got scared and ran away. We ran to my house and locked ourselves inside till the next day. We thank the Virgin of San Juan for the vampiress didn’t suck our blood out.

Angelina and Rosario Morales gives thanks to the Virgin of San Juan because she sent them the storm warning so they managed to gather all their animals in time. The animals didn’t get hurt like the neighbors’ animals, some of whom died in that storm.

My son Antonio began sleep-walking. One night he went out and almost fell in the ravine. Only thanks to the Holy Virgin I was able to stop him in time.

I offer this retablo to the Virgin of San Juan for saving my boy. Now he stays in my mother-in-law’s house recovering from his illness.

I climbed on the chair to get some spices. I lost my balance. I saw my baby sitting down on the floor. I prayed to the Virgin of San Juan and thanks to her I didn’t crush my baby nor the cat because I managed to spin myself in the air and fell near them.

The sky became filled with UFO. We were scared they’d attack us and would abduct us for their experiments. However, they didn’t land but lined up and suddenly disappeared moved by a superior power. We all felt a sense of relief, and we thank the Virgin of San Juan for this strange and wonderful sight.

Mr. Carlos Velez was attacked by a criminal. During the fight he started to strangle Carlos with the sausages. Carlos thanks the Virgin for he was saved by the police.

I came back from my aunt earlier than I had thought and I caught my husband in our bed hugging this shameless dressmaker Rosa. I wanted to kill them with the kitchen knife, but the Virgin of San Juan retained my hand. I thank the Virgin because I didn’t commit a murder. But I took the broom and gave the bastards a good trashing though.

The Castro sisters went to gather wood and fruits in the mountains. They didn’t notice how they approached the damned cave filled with the demons and their satanic beast. The girls were scared. They entrusted themselves the Virgin of San Juan. They started to walk away very slowly because they say if you’d run the beast would attack you. They thank the Virgin for getting home safe and sound.

It was late at night, when me and my husband were coming home from our friend Jose Luis. Suddenly a witch riding the animal related to her, that was a pig, appeared to us. I was scared. I closed my eyes and started praying to the Virgin of San Juan. She worked the miracle, and the witch passed without seeing us. She didn’t cause any harm to us, nor put the evil eye. We thank the Holy Virgin.
