Helloo everyone what is happening!
Im your host Ayman Hasan and welcome back to another video here at most amazing top
10!
Get your popcorn out and get ready because we’re about to get spooked with another
urban legend video.
When i think of Chile i think of a very rich culture, an amazing landscape and incredible
food.
Definitely the tourist in me.
But its true I mean I dont think about witches and monsters and ghosts but i mean before
visiting a country i should right?
And after this video you guys definitely will as well.
Remember to like and subscribe to the channel guys, and make sure to check out top 10 hindi
videos as well for more of the content you guys know and love but without further ado
this is the top 10 chile urban legends.
Starting us off at number 10 is The Righteous Province.
Which seemingly sounds a lot nicer than it actually is.
Now the righteous province is actually the name of an all male cult of witches located
in the islands of Chiloe (chil oh aye).
Legend has it the brujos which is the name of a coven of the male witches have lived
on these islands since the 1880s.
Males who want to join the cult have to go through a very intense initiation process
like signing a deal with the devil, killing a loved one and using their skin as a purse
to carry a book of spells in and washing away their baptism for 40 days.
The righteous province members can also apparently transform into any animal they want to.
Their cave is guarded by a creature that no one has ever seen before called Imbunche.
Imbunche used to be human but it was said that the cult mutilated him when he was 1
years old and so his limbs are disjointed and his head can turn around 180 degrees.
Its unclear what kind of spells the cult partakes in but after hearing about their initiation
process im in no mood for finding out.
Coming in at number 9 is El Culebrón.
Now have any of you seen the movie Anaconda?
Imagine anaconda times 300 on steroids and thats what the el culebron looks like.
This creature is a massive hairy snake that has sort of a calf like head.
It lives in the countryside of chile and comes out at night and eats basically anything with
a pulse that it encounters.
Its also been known to go to areas that have buried treasure nearby so clearly the monster
has expensive taste.
The legend states that anyone that is able to domesticate it will gain a lot of wealth
because of it.
But in order to domesticate it you have to 1 find one in the wild 2 pluck out its 3 longest
hairs and then put those into a bowl of milk.
From those 3 hairs, 3 new snakes will be born and the strongest will eat the other 2.
To keep the last one alive the owner would have to continuously sacrifice relatives or
animals for it to eat otherwise the owner will get no new wealth.
I mean either that or the thing kills you first.
At number 8 is La Noria which is a ghost town in the Atacama Desert in the northern part
of Chile.
Back in the day the town was a mining village known for mining and producing saltpetre but
after a synthetic alternative was invented the industry ultimately declined, the work
decreased, the workers migrated and the town became vacant.
Because of the unbearable weather conditions which contributed to harsh living and working
conditions, there were alot of deaths in the city.
Since it became abandoned, La Noria has been the victim of a lot of looting and the primary
place for that is its cemetery.
Coffins lie there exposed showing peoples remains, human bones are scattered wherever
you walk and there are even coffins in old mine shafts.
The legend states that all the souls buried in the cemetery have become more angry as
their graves keep getting disturbed and so what do they do?
After sunset the dead rise from their grave and go into the town which some people have
claimed to have actually seen.
Many adrenaline junkies staying in the town overnight have cited seeing full body apparitions
and hearing screams and footsteps even though the area is clearly deserted.
Filling our number 7 slot is the Calchona.
There was once a family that lived in the mountains and with their two kids and they
appeared to be a very normal countryside family but that was not the case.
As it never is.
The mother was actually a witch and she used to keep loads of potions and creams at home
that transformed her into whatever animal she wanted if they were rubbed onto her body.
So every night she used to sedate her children and husband and then transform and go for
a walk, by the morning shed come back, apply creams that would turn her back into a human
and then went to sleep and no one suspected a thing.
one day she forgot to sedate her children and they ended up waking up in the middle
of the night and seeing their mum covering herself and transforming into a sheep and
they decided to copy her.
Unable to change back into humans they started crying which woke up their dad.
He figured out what was going on, somehow idk how, and used the creams to transform
them back into humans but he then decided this was insane and left the house with his
kids and threw away all the creams.
When the wife came back and discovered everything missing she managed to salvage a bit of cream
for her face but the rest of her body remains a black sheep.
When farmers in the area hear her bleating they put out food for the calchona because
they know shes harmless.
Now at number 6 we have is Huallepen or the Guallipen.
I was looking at pictures of what an artist imagined this to look like and i was just
shook.
I feel like in a drawing something can seem like it makes sense but then when you imagine
it as a live creature youre just like how in any world is this possible.
But anyway, this creature is a cow like creature that haunts the rivers and lakes of Chile.
It has a head of a baby calf and the body of a sheep but thats not the worst part, ist
feet are twisted backgrounds and the back of its body looks sort of like a seal.
Are you keeping up with the imagery?
The creature only ever appears at night and its said that if a pregnant woman goes near
it then her child will be born with twisted and deformed legs and a muzzle.
The Guallipen is said to be quite a shy creature unless you enter its aquatic habitat then
its known to become quite vicious.
Its also been reported that if a pregnant mother has dreams about the creature 3 nights
in a row than her baby will be born with deformities.
Coming in at number 5 is the Peuchen.
Which is the second snake like creature on this list.
This creature lives towards the southern part of Chile and is a shapeshifting creature that
can instantaneously change into whatever animal form it desires.
Its most common form is described as a huge flying snake which makes very strange and
eerie whistling noises.
As im describing it im trying to imagine how it looks into existence but it just keeps
turning out like something that looks like a pokemon in my head so im just gonna stop
right there.
If any unlucky bystander accidentally makes eye contact with it, the peuchen paralyses
its victim and then sucks their blood out.
A lot of times when sheep have been attacked people believe its the peuchen sucking their
blood as well.
The only people that can get rid of it are the machi which are the mapuche medicine women
which are traditional healers or religious leaders found throughout chile and argentina.
So basically this thing is a part time snake and full time vampire shape shifter.
Good to know.
At number 4 is the Trauco.
Now the trauco is a humanish creature that is as small as a goblin or dwarf and it is
apparently extremely ugly, has legs but no feet and carries around a stone headed hatchet.
Which makes me question how it walks or gets around but people say he can also appear as
a rich landowner or a priest.
The trauco lives in the forests of Chiloe and it has the power to attract middle aged
women, once hes chosen a woman there is no escape for her even if shes asleep shell still
find her way to him.
And its a fact that if a woman finds herself chosen then she will sleep with him no matter
what so when a single girl becomes pregnant and the father is nowhere to found, most people
then just presume the trauco is the father.
But he doesnt just target women, even men are scared of him.
If a man makes eye contact with him then his gaze can be almost deadly.
Filling our number 3 slot is El Coco.
If i grew up in chile i would probably be afraid to walk the streets at night alone
because of this legend.
Now El Coco isnt scary looking by any means but its what he does that scares people.
Parents used to sing about him in rhymes and scare their children with stories of him so
theyd listen more but they werent exactly all rooted in fiction.
Frequently compared to the devil or the opposite of a guardian angel, el coco is a kidnapper
and a child eater.
He roams the streets at night with a bag over his shoulder looking for naughty children
to kidnap and eat.
Sometimes it stays perched on rooftops just watching the streets.
Sometimes he eats them immediately, sometimes he tosses them into his bag and slices them
up at home and drinks their blood, and sometimes he takes them away to a place of no return.
But do not worry he only targets disobedient children, so if youve been nice you have nothing
to worry about.
Why is weirdly reminding me of a twisted version of santas naughty or nice list except with
a lot more death and a lot less presents.
Now at number 2 we have El Cuero.
Now el cuero can be found in Lake Lacar located in the Andes Mountains but lets firstly talk
about how this thing looks because thats horrific in and of itself.
El cuero actually translates to leather or the hide and it looks like a prehistoric giant
stingray or as locals describe it as ‘cowhide thats been splayed out to dry’.
Its about 2-5 feet wide and 65 pounds heavy and it has fins as well as a whip like tail.
Its eyes are located on stalks like that of every cartoon slimy villain and its mouth
can apparently unhinge and extend when devouring prey.
People have reported seeing razor sharp claws attached to the fringes of the creature which
helps secure its victims.
Locals call it the aquatic tiger because it comes out of the lake and overwhelms its prey
it then used its nose to puncture the victim and then suck out that persons blood and all
internal organs.
One woman even said that she was washing clothes by the river and her baby was sleeping nearby
and the el cuero burst out from the water and engulfed the baby within seconds.
Who knew a cow hide could do this much damage?
Finally last but not least at number 1 we have La Fiura who is actually Traucos wife
and daughter simultaneously, dont ask, and is an even bigger nuisance than her husband/father.
Her name means very very ugly and according to the legend that is 100% accurate.
Shes described as a disgusting looking woman who has a gigantic nose, long black hair,
enormous breasts and extremely thin limbs which she can lengthen on command.
She can also twist them in every direction so you can imagine what sort of contortionist
she must look like if shes in the mood.
She bathes in local streams while combing her hair with a glass comb and then remains
naked for hours.
Shes not very brave at all, whenever she hears the slightest sound she changes her body into
really bizarre positions and directions.
Maybe a defence mechanism?
Idk?
But no normal person can look at her, if you do then her eyes have the ability to deform
your own legs or hands.
She has superhuman strength and her breath is so bad it like her eyes have the ability
to break or twist the limbs or anyone or anything.
Her main hobby or pastime is casting spells on unsuspecting woodcutters in the forest
which causes them to become super confused and disorientated and then she forces the
men to have sex with her.
And thats all for todays video guys.
