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.

One night I stopped to sleep in the mountain after a long walk. In the moonlight, I saw the witches flying to Catemaco. I thank the Blessed Sacrament for they didn’t notice me and didn’t put a spell on me.

My daughter had a strange disease. She couldn’t stay out in the sun. Because of that she slept by day and stayed awake by night. I prayed to the Virgin, and one day the witch, doña Clara, gave to my daughter an ointment. And now my daughter can go out in the daytime staying in shadow and even can go in school. I give thanks for that.

I took my kids to walk in the field and we stayed there up till late. We didn’t noticed that it was the witch time, when the witches fly to Catemaco on their brooms. I thank the Blessed Sacrament for protecting us, with its infinite power, from the witches so they didn’t see us.

At dusk we witnessed the marvelous flight of the witches, who flew to Catemaco at their reunion that happens every year. We thank for this opportunity because it’s said that they are always travel invisible. But for some reason that night it was possible to see their spectacular flight.
