  • The Case of Donato Cervantes
    Oct 23 2026
    In the 1980s, one man took Peru by storm when he shared his extraterrestrial experience, which included a miraculous healing. His name was Donato Cervantes. Cristina and Carmen share this story, but first they tell a listener story and end with spooky recs. Cristina recommended two Mexican horror movies on Tubi, both directed by Carlos Enrique Taboada: Veneno Para las Hadas and Hasta el Viento Tiene Miedo. Carmen recommended the horror book, Our Cut of Salt by Deena Helm.
