Santa Amalia spooky stories. The lady of the well. Part four.

Time passed by. Hardly anyone remembered Luisa and her missing baby. Those neighbours got old, and died. And their children grew. All was changing. All... excepting the beautiful woman. She was always beautiful and young. Certainly strange. People still listened to the meows, like baby cries, from her home. But apart of that, nothing more. Until one day the major ordered to clean up the well. The water had become sour and dark. Nobody could drink it. And if you watered the plants with that water, they died in a few hours. 

The day of the cleaning was a public event. Many people were watching, because the well has never been cleaned. What could appear? Old knives, maybe coins, some old buckets... They started to drain the water. The wet stones were appearing, while the water level was going down. After a few hours, the well was almost empty. Only a half meter of water. And suddenly a worker screamed 

"Stop the draining! There is a bone here. Maybe a lamb bone, or a dog bone"

"Let me have a look" said the doctor of Santa Amalia, who whas also there watching the well. The doctor examined the bone during 20 long seconds. "This is not an animal bone. This is a human bone. A baby bone."
