El Silbón: The Deadly Whistler of the South American Grasslands (2021x10)

Yayınlanma tarihi: Tem 21, 2021

The “Terror of the Plain,” this emaciated, whistling devil is cursed to wander the South American countryside carrying the bones of his victims. Intimately tied to the cattle ranching history of Latin America, the myth of El Silbón remains an active albeit terrifying part of folklore. Featuring Argentinian film director Juan Fernández Gebauer, this episode looks at why a murderous ghost became a symbol of Llanos culture—despite the fear he still inspired today.
