Ouija para Recordar
This Spanish-language pulp horror magazine presents "Ouija para Recordar" (Ouija to Remember) by Ralph Barby, published by Editorial Bruguera in 1985. The narrative follows Nadia Darwis, a young woman discharged from a psychiatric facility after two months of treatment for psychological trauma and pseudo-epileptic episodes. Released to her apartment against her mother's wishes, Nadia attempts independence while haunted by a repressed childhood experience that psychiatrist Dr. Wellington has extracted from her subconscious. The trauma, connected to her brother Louis's mysterious death in the family pool years earlier, manifests in unexplained nocturnal terrors. Upon settling into her apartment, Nadia receives disturbing telephone calls featuring the sobbing of a frightened child. Chapter Two indicates her return to work, where personnel matters require attention from her superior, Mr. Cunard, establishing an ambiguous premise suggesting supernatural or psychological complications ahead.
