Veronica on Netflix: ‘TRUE STORY’ behind horror movie is even scarier
VERONICA is continuing to chill audiences on Netflix - but it seems the true story it’s based on is even more unnerving.
The film takes its cues from the so-called Vallecas case, which took place in a small suburb in Madrid.
It’s the only police report which is, according to The Sun, marked as “unexplained”.
It revolves around a teenage girl named Estafania Gutierrez Lazaro, who died suddenly in August 1991 - with her parents convinced it had something to do with her interest in Ouija boards.
They told the police that when the boyfriend of one of Estafania’s friends died in a motorcycle accident, a group held a seance at school to try and contact him.
It was interrupted by a teacher, after which Estafania’s parents claimed that they all saw a strange swirling smoke enter her nose and mouth. She began having seizures and hallucinations just days later.
No doctors could find anything wrong with her, and no diagnosis could ever be given. Meanwhile Estafania’s heath deteriorated and her seizures and hallucinations intensified until she ultimately passed away.
The parents then claimed that over subsequent months, doors in the house would slam of their own accord, shadowy figures would be spotted lurking, and - with no explanation whatsoever - a photo of their daughter burst into flames.
But worse was still to come.
