Can you hear the voices?
They are trapped in objects from Spain’s past. A centuries-old door knocker that witnessed a beheading. A murderous revolver hidden under the floor tile of a theater. A centuries-old castle stone pissed on by a madman.
When the sun goes down, if you touch these objects, the voices tell their story.
Stories of Celtic warriors high on shrooms, mad bulls, gold-toothed bandoleers in hidden caves, Nazi collaborators, penis-shrinking witches, adulterous kings…
Everyday people stumble across these objects: a mountain farmer forced by the housing crisis to sell his land, a hospital nurse hell-bent on meting out vigilante justice, a traumatized Afghan war veteran, an American immigrant to Madrid…
Join these characters and discover the horrific blood stories of Spain’s past.
Discover the horror…that lies inside your own mind.

Who was María Pita?
In today’s episode, we travel to the city of A Coruña, in foggy, mystical Galicia. After purchasing an antique comb from a young immigrant man, Josefa witnesses a situation of injustice.
She is horrified to discover that a dark magic sludge has paralyzed her, preventing her from righting the wrong.
The voices trapped in the comb take her back to 1589, when Sir Francis Drake laid siege to the city. With the English forces outnumbering the townspeople by almost 30 to 1, even the women had to fight in a conflict that they were sure to lose.
Except that one of those women was María Pita, who singlehandedly changed the tide of this Anglo-Spanish War battle. Her story teaches Josefa how to finally break free from the cursed muck.
And how to right the injustice.
