Graciela Rios rented one of her rooms as a lab to one scientist who worked with animals. One night she heard strange noises in the cellar. She went to look what it was and saw two giant rats. They escaped from the lab and were eating her provisions. Graciela thanks the Virgin of San Juan because she was able to catch those monsters. And she asked the scientist to work only with plants, otherwise she’d kick him out.

I was afraid of the dark since childhood. I couldn’t overcome it. One day I went to the cellar to get some oil, and the door was shut by a whiff of air. I was locked in the cellar. I couldn’t get out. It was dark, I started to see angry eyes, sharp fangs and hands that were about to grab me. I was losing my mind. Then I started to pray to the Holy Child of Atocha who became a light of sanity for me until my daughter came back and unlocked me.

Damned demons got in my cellar. They ate my fruits and marmalades. They caused disorder and made the cellar smell like sulfur. The cross and holy water didn’t help. Then my brother gave me a kitten. It’s a known fact that the demons are afraid of the cats. So thanks to the Virgin of San Juan, the demons didn’t come back.

Rosario Mendiola was pregnant with her sixth child. She wanted to look for something in the cellar. But when she opened the door, hundreds of bats flew out and almost hit her in the face.

Rosario didn’t lose her baby, and she thanks for that.

There was an invasion of squirrels in my cellar. They were eating all my fruit. I tried to frighten them but they always returned. Only thanks to my prayers to the Virgin of San Juan she worked the miracle. So the squirrels disappeared and never came back.
