In January 2011 a group of 5 friends went on a trip to Córdoba, Argentina. They stayed in Nono town, in the mountain. They were called Mati, Cardo, Santos, Nacho and Santi. They thought that they would have the best vacations ever but they didn’t know what was about to happen.
They arrived at the hotel at 4 AM after a long journey. They got received by the receptionist that explained to them all about the hotel and their room. Then she gave them the key to the room and they left their luggage and went for breakfast. In the café, Santos saw an ad that showed a photograph of a little girl that was disappeared. They took the ad and asked the receptionist what happened with this girl. She told that the girl was walking with her family in the mountain and she got lost.
The next day they went for a walk in the mountains to sightsee, but when they were walking Santos saw in the distance some abandoned cabins, he told his friends and Cardo suggested going and taking a look at them. These cabins were very old and in poor condition. The group of friends decided to break the door of one of the cabins to enter and when they entered the cabin they found a pot and many jars, and a very large book that had very strange things written on it.
They were investigating the rooms when surprisingly they found coffins which were closed and standing side by side. After that, they heard strange noises and when they were leaving, Mati saw a very small shadow in one of the corridors as if it were a girl. When he was telling his friends what he had seen they all heard a very loud and very sharp laugh. Without thinking they ran to call the police.
When they were running they split up in different directions but all the group could get back together except Cardo. So they decided to call the police immediately to find him and to see what happened in those cabins. When the police arrived they started looking for Cardo and the girl.
When they were searching the zone they found Cardo fainted on the ground outside the cabins with some glass broken around him. They assisted him and finally, he got up, he didn`t remember anything he only remembered that he had been running when someone had hit him with something on his head and when they touched his head he had a lot of blood.
After this, the police entered the house, and the five friends ran inside after them and noticed that everything was different. Mati asked where the large book was. “Yes, someone took it”, replied Santos. “Look at this!! The jars were empty and now they are full”, Nacho told them.
Then they started to search the rooms and they found the room with the coffins and one of them was opened: the little one. Then they opened the others and they found skeletons in all of them.
Finally, they arrived at the conclusion that a witch was practising there some witchcraft with people, and they had to find out if Cardo had a spell because this witch threw him a jar with a magic potion. Then the police started searching in the mountain to find the girl. They decided to go to the houses around the zone, and when they were asking in one of the houses an old woman told them that she saw a person with a hat covered with a cape, “that person was dragging a girl” she added.
