Episode 78 – Latinx Lore
Summary: 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> <a href="https://app.podcastguru.io/podcast/BSP-Believer-Skeptic-Podcast-1271588099" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a> <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/bsp-the-idio-t-synchrasy-files/id1271588099" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a> <a href="https://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=152948&refid=stpr" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a> <a href="https://playmusic.app.goo.gl/?ibi=com.google.PlayMusic&isi=691797987&ius=googleplaymusic&link=https://play.google.com/music/m/Idyya5igdpxb6ahq7jk367nvtze?t%3DBSP:_The_Idio%255Bt%255Dsynchrasy_Files%26pcampaignid%3DMKT-na-all-co-pr-mu-pod-16" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a> <a href="https://www.blubrry.com/bsp_the_idiotsynchrasy_files/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a><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">https://www.purple-planet.com</a><br> <br> Links:<br> <br> History-<br> <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2758774/">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/">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/">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">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">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/">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/">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">https://www.kabbos.com/en/55/articles/la-planchada-the-ghost-nurse</a><br> <br> La Mala Hora-<br> <a href="https://multoghost.wordpress.com/2015/08/17/mexican-monstresses-la-mala-hora/">https://multoghost.wordpress.</a>
