OMG you guys, I just learned about this insane ritual from Spain where they literally jumped over babies to save their souls?! Like, what even is that?! Apparently it was a thing in the 17th century where people would jump over newborns to protect them from evil spirits. I know, I know, it sounds wild, but hear me out. The ritual was called "El Colacho" and it was practiced in a small town in northern Spain. The idea was that by jumping over the babies, the adults could absorb any evil energies and keep the little ones safe. But like, at what cost?! The ritual was eventually banned, but I am still shook. Has anyone else heard of this before?watch full video: https://youtu.be/BNHstT-8ejQ?list=PLjBgcvtYPpORE75rfTGw-tot-YdUQkOvo
