(#2) A Nun Tried To Stop The Girl's Séance
Estefanía's parents claim the séance occurred at their daughter's high school. She allegedly wanted to reach her friend's ex-boyfriend, who had passed away after being involved in a motorcycle accident. Friends watched the process, but then a nun stopped the séance. The nun damaged the board, which some speculate caused a paranormal disruption.
The nun was too late, however, to stop the possession that allegedly occurred right after.
(#8) Shadow People Allegedly Began To Haunt The Family
According to the Gutiérrez family, one of the most terrifying things that happened after Estefanía passed was the sudden appearance of a mass of shadow people. When Estefanía was still alive, she claimed that she was tormented by shadowy figures, and it seems they had moved on to the parents. Mrs. Gutiérrez claimed that one of the shadow people attacked her in her sleep:
I felt pressure on top of me but there was no one around. I said [to Mr. Gutiérrez] ‘there’s someone here.’ I then felt a pair of hands grab my feet and then grab my hand, which were uncovered by the blanket.
While these instances of paranormal phenomena haven't been confirmed, the family continued to experience unexplainable occurrences within their Vallecas home.
(#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.
(#5) Estefanía Passed About 6 Months After The Ouija Board Incident
In the film Veronica, the girl passes away under extreme circumstances in three days, but Estefanía's passing took over six months. After more than half a year of suffering from seizures and hallucinations, Estefanía's life ended in August of 1991. Reportedly, she passed while at the hospital and not at home like the fictional character Veronica.
Estefanía's parents don't know what happened to her, but they believe that her death had to do with the supernatural. They've never said that they explicitly believe a demon was released, but they think her passing was caused by something evil.
(#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.”
(#9) The Burning Photo After Her Passing
In true horror film fashion, Estefanía's family claims that a photograph of the young girl burst into flames on its own after her death. They maintained that it fell off an end table and simply began to smolder. When Estefanía's picture ignited, Mr. and Mrs. Gutiérrez knew they needed to contact the authorities.
If you've seen Veronica, then you know that this moment was immortalized in the film. According to everyone who lived through the events, the film was accurate in this depiction.
