Is Veronica based on a true story?
What makes Veronica so scary is that it is based on a true story.
In 1992 Madrid police investigated the mysterious death of a young girl, Estefania Gutierrez Lazaro.
She passed away in hospital shortly after meddling with a Ouija board.
The case was never really solved and remains "unexplained" to this day.
