(#6) The House Was Still Haunted After Estefanía Passed
After Estefanía's passing, the hauntings continued to torment her family for over a year. The Gutiérrez parents claimed that after their daughter died, they didn't go a day without dark, ominous figures stomping through their home and slamming doors. They described how their appliances turned on and off without warning, and how inanimate objects would leap from shelves and move without interference.
Members of the Gutiérrez family also maintained how they could hear someone whispering to them in the middle of the night, and at times, hear Estefanía shrieking.
(#3) She Suffered From Hallucinations
Estefanía's parents claim that after she performed the séance, she began to hallucinate. According to the family, Estefanía said that she saw dark figures walking through the house. She described the mysterious beings as "evil," maintaining that they plagued her all night. Then the teen began to have seizures.
The seizures became full-on manic fits where she would bark at her siblings, but no one knew what to do. Her parents took her to multiple doctors and specialists but no one could figure out what was wrong with her. She reportedly didn't have a mental problem, but it was obvious to professionals that Estefanía wasn't well.
(#13) The Haunting Ended When The Family Moved
After Estefanía passed away in 1991 and the police investigated the Gutiérrez home, the family finally moved. Reportedly, the haunting stopped after they left their Vallecas home. Since the family has relocated, there haven't been any reports of a haunting in the building where Estefanía's story took place.
While Veronica has received criticism for bolstering cliché horror movie tropes, the movie is also revered for combining one of Spain's unexplainable mysteries with genuine filmmaking.
(#1) Estefanía Gutiérrez Lázaro's Occult Interests Turned Deadly
The teen who inspired the events of the 2017 horror film Veronica was actually 15-year-old Estefanía Gutiérrez Lázaro from Vallecas, a suburb in southern Madrid. Estefanía was allegedly into the occult, although according to her parents, no more than any regular high school teenager. They believed she was just playing around with spooky stuff and didn't think something like an Ouija board could cause the damage it later seemed to.
In 1990, Estefanía brought an Ouija board to school, changing the course of her life forever.
(#4) It Took A Year For Police To Get Involved
The story of Estefanía's haunting was nothing like what happened in Veronica. While the police arrive after a crazed 911 call in the film, it took over a year before the actual police became involved in the real case. Estefanía's family didn't reach out until after the girl's passing in 1991. When the family brought the police to the apartment in Vallecas, the authorities discovered a series of spooky happenings.
When the police investigated, they claimed they heard a loud banging noise coming from an unoccupied area in the home. After that, they reported how a “perfectly closed armoire” became opened “in a sudden and totally unnatural way.”
(#11) The Apartment Was Destroyed
One notable element of the police report is the fact that the apartment was a wreck, especially Estefanía's room. Upon investigation, the officers discovered the family had left Estefanía's decorations intact on the wall, but many of the posters had been clawed at by some kind of creature. According to Mr. and Mrs. Gutiérrez, anyone who went into the girl's room was subject to being pushed around by an unseen force.
Reportedly, the officers also witnessed a crucifix on Estefanía's wall move on its own until it snapped, a scene reminiscent of The Exorcist.
