In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month in the U.S., we’ve decided to bring you some urban legends from the Latinx culture. First, Cody talks about El Sombreron, a Guatemalan man who seduces women and is obsessed with braiding hair. Then, Chris shares the legend of the Peruvian Pishtaco and how it was blamed for a murderous gang that killed people for their fat. Next, Cody brings the lighter tale of La Planchada, a comforting spirit with a well ironed uniform. Finally, Chris discusses another horror tale: La Mala Hora, a horrendous lady you encounter at a crossroads. For Creep of the Week, we share some fun and interesting Mexican superstitions. This episode’s drinks are Sidral Mundet and Honey and Hive Riesling.<br /> <br /><br />Advisory: 0:00s-0:12s<br />Intro Music: 0:12s-0:39s<br />Topic: 0:39s-3:35m<br />Drinks: 3:35m-6:12m<br />History: 6:12m-14:20m<br />El Sombreron: 14:20m-20:50m<br />Pishtaco: 20:50m-28:02m<br />La Planchada: 28:02m-34:10m<br />La Mala Hora: 34:10m-39:02m<br />Skeptic: 39:02m-42:23m<br />Believer: 42:23m-45:00m<br />Creep of the Week: 45:00m-47:26m<br />Sign Off: 47:26m-48:22m<br />Outro Music: 48:22m-48:44m<br /><br />Original Music: “Halloween Pumpkin” found at <a href="https://www.purple-planet.com" rel="noopener">https://www.purple-planet.com</a><br /><br />Links:<br /><br />History-<br /><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2758774/" rel="noopener">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2758774/</a><br /><br />El Sombreron-<br /><a href="https://www.thefoodieskitchen.com/en/2010/10/22/tfk-extra-guatemalan-folkore-the-legend-of-el-sombreron/" rel="noopener">https://www.thefoodieskitchen.com/en/2010/10/22/tfk-extra-guatemalan-folkore-the-legend-of-el-sombreron/</a><br /><br />Pishtaco-<br /><a href="https://folklorethursday.com/regional-folklore/the-pishtaco-fat-stealing-ghoul-of-the-andes/" rel="noopener">https://folklorethursday.com/regional-folklore/the-pishtaco-fat-stealing-ghoul-of-the-andes/</a><br /><a href="https://slate.com/technology/2009/12/a-mysterious-crime-in-peru-revives-a-vampire-legend-that-s-more-than-400-years-old.html" rel="noopener">https://slate.com/technology/2009/12/a-mysterious-crime-in-peru-revives-a-vampire-legend-that-s-more-than-400-years-old.html</a><br /><a href="https://revista.drclas.harvard.edu/book/peruvian-pishtacos" rel="noopener">https://revista.drclas.harvard.edu/book/peruvian-pishtacos</a><br /><br />La Planchada-<br /><a href="http://www.mysteriousbritain.co.uk/folklore/la-planchada-of-mexico-citys-hospital-juarez/" rel="noopener">http://www.mysteriousbritain.co.uk/folklore/la-planchada-of-mexico-citys-hospital-juarez/</a><br /><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Thetruthishere/comments/asg69u/my_dad_experienced_the_legendary_mexican_ghost/" rel="noopener">https://www.reddit.com/r/Thetruthishere/comments/asg69u/my_dad_experienced_the_legendary_mexican_ghost/</a><br /><a href="https://www.kabbos.com/en/55/articles/la-planchada-the-ghost-nurse" rel="noopener">https://www.kabbos.com/en/55/articles/la-planchada-the-ghost-nurse</a><br /><br />La Mala Hora-<br /><a href="https://multoghost.wordpress" rel="noopener">https://multoghost.wordpress</a>.
