In the year 1935, on the old highway road from Masaya to the villages, a man dressed as a Roman soldier arrived at a small farm by the roadside, where a woman was alone drawing water from a well. He said to the lady, 'I am Samuel Belivet, please give me some water, I am very thirsty.' The lady said, 'Wait a moment,' and went to grab a cup. The lady nearly of freight when she returned to the place where she had left the character waiting to give him water. He was no longer there, he had disappeared, and she only felt a strong smell of sulfur; immediately the lady thought it was the wandering Jew who had appeared to her. She was traumatized and had to be taken to the hospital in Masaya to be treated.
