In the early 1990s, Tristan Bracker (Baker in some media) She emerged as a media personality in Spain linked to the world of the paranormal. It was particularly linked to the so-called “Valecas case” or “Valecas file”, an episode that became a reference for paranormal events in the country because, as they said, it was the first “documented by the police”.
In that incident, they told us that a young woman, Estefania Gutierrez, died after a Ouija session, even though the coroner’s report indicated she had had an epileptic seizure and, in fact, she was taking antiepileptic medication at the time of death.
After Estefania’s death, the family reported that their home, in the Vallecas neighborhood of Madrid, had become the scene of strange and hostile phenomena, which could only be explained through a paranormal prism. It ended with the police intervening in one of those episodes and the documentary record they made of the house It was the reason behind what led, over the years, to a media spectacle And in a constant display, say participants in the HBO documentary, of people connected to parapsychology who do not want to miss the opportunity to enter the most haunted house in Madrid.
And he was among them Tristan Bracker, a carpenter, had already gained a certain reputation in previous years. With some investigations in the capital, but after starring in some dramatic episodes in front of the cameras, he became a public figure overnight.
The debate over the Vallecas case over the following years was ongoing and intense: it was debated between those who believed it was all a stage, and those who maintained that it was a theatre. evil spirit Textbook (i.e. it was the mother’s energy that caused everything) and those who They claimed there was an evil presence in Gutierrez’s home. Breaker belonged to the latter, and he made him known on many television sets.
This happened, for example Tonight we will cross the Mississippi Riverwith Pepe Navarro, where he had a heated quarrel with Estefania’s mother and sister, and Javier Cárdenas gave regular interviews in On the attack!Written by Alfonso Aros.
But years passed Boom Of the paranormal ended up disappearing and Freaks They have stopped attracting television. Bracker has lost track.
Alfonso Galan, who has already been called upHe was born (according to a short biography he wrote) in 1947 in the Lavapisse neighborhood and was a carpenter by profession. He chose his stage name as a psychology researcher because, he says, it means “the noise that stops everything.” He would say so years later in an interview I didn’t have good memories Of his time on TV: “They cut everything out to make you look like you Geek (…). The media has disrupted who I am (…). On the Internet, they call me “professor.”
For a long time, Galan He wrote in a blog called Tristanbraker Tales (All Together), in which he wrote fiction and fantasy but also talked about his research, some chapters of his life, and, from time to time, his personal opinions on various topics. And it was in this blog where his Alter ego: A fictional character that I would later transform into the heroine of a literary epic.
In 2016 he announced on his social networks The climax of his first novel, Tristanbraker1900’s Extraordinary Cases: The Horrific Case of the Fallen Angel. He was referring here to the statue of the fallen angel in Madrid’s Retiro Park, which some parapsychologists consider a gateway to hell.
About his novel written by Carla María García, Galán said that it belongs to realistic fiction and that Publishers were fighting about itBecause it would be a “disastrous spark,” a “terrifying cannon shot,” because “so many people” followed him on his blog.
