¨Belém´s good for living but there´s some violence and every other day a colleague has gotten robbed.¨
Me: There must be plenty of hours with chats like these, how is that?
T.D: Man, I´m doing extra as a therapist. I always get to listen to peoples problems, I mean some expose themselves completely and I get to, have to, give some advices.
Me: Any strange ones? Like … I mention the hysteric woman from La paz.
T.D: Yeah, I mean it happens. But nothing really strange to tell you.
Me: What about ghosts? I start to tell him about the ghost story from Lima.
T.D: Oh yeah, I know that one! Many of my colleagues have driven her.
Me: What, the story is from Lima – Peru!
T.D: Is there one over there as well?! Anyway, our ghost tells you a direction and on arrival she disappears into her building telling one that she has to go get money. The taxi driver waits until he looses his patience and go to knock on the door where he´s to be greeted by a family telling him that the woman he drove has been dead for many years. She died in a car accident they say. Every Halloween drivers gather at her grave to light a candle and send her thought.
Me: Where!? Have you driven her yourself?
T.D: No, dunno pal. I haven´t been that interested. That´s all I know.
