De todos los relatos de terror, los que siempre dan más miedo son las historias reales. Los casos documentados y auténticos, que superan por mucho cualquier ficción imaginada. Tirando de hemeroteca nos encontramos con sucesos terribles, acontecimientos atroces y espantosos que nos quiebran por un momento y nos arrancan cualquier esperanza. Lo más duro es concluir que en muchos de ellos, el demonio no es un ente, sino nosotros mismos. (In)humanos que atravesamos todo límite cual umbral de puerta abierta y luego nos sorprendemos de nuestras capacidades. Es en esta oscuridad latente y pesimista donde se encuentra la historia de Blanche Monnier. Una crónica de absoluta pesadilla y terror. Un caso de los peores, monstruoso y aberrante. Que no te dejará indiferente si continúas estas líneas y para el que debes casi prepararte con actitud de cautela.
El encierro de la Secuestrada de Poitiers
La historia se desarrolla a finales del siglo XIX en Poitiers, Francia. Allí se encuentra la familia Monnier, parte de la socialité de la época, con gran prestigio y acomodo en la flor y nata de la ciudad.
La familia de cuatro había construido su inmaculada reputación sobre unas sólidas creencias católicas y monárquicas. El padre, Charles-Émile, era decano de Letras de la Universidad de Poitiers, puesto que perdió en 1877 tras la crisis política entre monárquicos y republicanos, donde los segundos prevalecieron con ventaja. Este contexto de derrota y fracaso ante los que los Monnier consideraban altos enemigos, repercutió notablemente en su aversión hacia ellos. Un rencor casi obsesivo, definitivamente irreversible.
La hija de la casa, Blanche Monnier, era una bellísima joven solicitada por incontables candidatos. Pero las azarosas ironías de la vida la hicieron enamorarse de un abogado protestante y republicano. Por lo visto, algo así era inconcebible en su posición. Intolerable, inadmisible e imperdonable. La crueldad más abyecta y las desatinadas prioridades sociales, llevaron a la familia a la decisión más descabellada y feroz. Encerrarla en un cuarto sin ver la luz del sol durante 25 años.

Sin perder las apariencias, los padres evadían dar explicaciones ante la ausencia de la joven inventando excusas. Al principio, decían que estaba en un internado en el Reino Unido. Pero el tiempo pasaba y debían cambiar de coartada, así que «la mandaron» a Escocia.
El asqueroso crimen pasó desapercibido durante más de dos décadas, hasta que una persona anónima alertó a las autoridades con una misiva.
«Señor fiscal general: tengo el honor de informarle de un suceso excepcionalmente grave. Me refiero a una mujer soltera que está encerrada en la casa de la señora Monnier, medio muerta de hambre y que ha vivido los últimos 25 años en un lecho putrefacto. En una palabra, en su propia inmundicia«.
La liberación de Blanche Monnier
La carta se recibió el 23 de marzo de 1901, momento en que la familia disfrutaba de su notoriedad entre la jet set francesa, sin ningún tipo de impedimento. La sorpresa en la policía fue tan grande que enviaron a tres agentes de inmediato a registrar la casa.
De un vistazo todo parecía en orden, limpio y tranquilo. Pero acercándose a la segunda planta se expandía un hedor inmundo, repugnante y pútrido. Un olor así no encajaba en aquella casa, en la mansión de los Monnier, en semejante palacio elitista. Y la sospecha comenzó a superar la curiosidad, llevando a los agentes a una puerta cerrada con candado.
Ceden el cierre y abren la entrada. Y después de romper las tapias en las ventanas, dejando entrar los primeros rayos de luz tras veinticinco años, observan el cruel escenario de la muerte en vida.
«La mujer parecía sufrir una malnutrición extrema. Estaba tumbada, completamente desnuda, en un colchón podrido. La rodeaba una costra de excrementos y restos de comida. Vimos también que había bichos recorriendo la cama de la señorita Monnier. El aire de la habitación era tan irrespirable que nos resultó imposible seguir investigando«.

La descripción de los agentes era precisa. Blanche contaba ya 52 años y alcanzaba un peso de poco más de 20 kilos. Estaba débil, esquelética y macilenta. Cubierta de suciedad y basura, con los ojos desorbitados y la mirada hueca. Arrastraba una melena larga y negra que enmarcaba su terrible aspecto macabro. Pero dentro de todo ese martirio todavía quedaba vida.
El final de Blanche Monnier
Al momento del rescate, el padre de familia ya había fallecido. La madre, Louise, murió de un infarto días después de hacerse público el hallazgo, sorprendida por haber sido descubierta y asediada por la ira de la muchedumbre buscando justicia. El hermano, Marcel, se declaró incapacitado psicológico y las leyes de entonces no pudieron imputarle cargos. Cumplió 15 meses de prisión por simple complicidad.

Blanche fue trasladada a un psiquiátrico de inmediato, donde nunca logró superar los traumas de tan terrible esperpento. Según los informes, presentaba conductas coprofílicas y exhibicionistas. Y después de algunos traslados, murió internada a los 64 años, el 13 de octubre de 1913.
Un triste final para una triste historia, que sin duda refleja la verdad del tópico de que la realidad supera siempre a la ficción.

Interesting blog post. Things i would like to bring about is that computer memory has to be purchased should your computer still cannot cope with anything you do by using it. One can install two RAM boards with 1GB each, for example, but not certainly one of 1GB and one having 2GB. One should make sure the company’s documentation for the PC to ensure what type of memory space is necessary.

One other thing I would like to state is that rather than trying to accommodate all your online degree classes on days and nights that you conclude work (as most people are worn out when they return), try to find most of your lessons on the weekends and only one or two courses in weekdays, even if it means taking some time off your end of the week. This pays off because on the week-ends, you will be far more rested and also concentrated with school work. Many thanks for the different points I have acquired from your blog site.

Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said «You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.» She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

I have observed that service fees for on-line degree professionals tend to be a terrific value. For instance a full Bachelors Degree in Communication with the University of Phoenix Online consists of Sixty credits at $515/credit or $30,900. Also American Intercontinental University Online makes available Bachelors of Business Administration with a whole course requirement of 180 units and a tuition fee of $30,560. Online learning has made getting the education been so cool because you might earn the degree through the comfort in your home and when you finish working. Thanks for all tips I’ve learned through your web site.
