Amazing storytelling, great content

Anyone into the paranormal would love this podcast! There is a focus on folklore from Latin cultures and a lot of them remind me of stories told when I was a kid and its so fun to hear where they originated from.

Lechuza Story

Just discovered your podcast! Love it! With love from San Antonio.

I have a lechuza story passed down from my dad. He said when he and his friends were teenagers, one of their friends became pregnant. She was saying out loud at a hangout she did not want the baby and wished it would go away. Later that night they heard whistling in the trees. They got scared and went inside their friends house. On the roof of the house, they heard scratching or like claws were walking across the roof. They also realized, the scratching followed the pregnant girl where she walked. They started cussing at whatever it was. Eventually, it went away. The twist was The next day a friend who was not at the party walked up to them and I scared you guys last night. Needless to say, the girl repented about what she said and they stayed away from that friend.
