One night two she-devils appeared in our bedroom. They certainly came to take my husband with them because he’s a gambler, drinker and womanizer. I was angry and scared. So I took the rosary and prayed the Virgin of Zapopan for protection. Thanks to Virgin’s power the she-devils disappeared and only left a sulphur smell in the room. I thank the Virgin for my husband didn’t wake up during this because he is very naughty and would’ve certainly gone with them.
