Gomez stated that he felt something thrust his face on the sofa leaving him out of breath, he then added that he saw Alfredo staring at him with anger while pressing on his neck.

University of Antioquia

Located in one of Colombia's most beautiful cities, Medellin, the spooky university was once a home to a group of Franciscan monks, but many believed that it is filled with playful spirits.

The security guards, cleaners and even the students stated that a soul of an old friar would roam around the auditorium at night as if he's praying for the building.
