Respuesta:Mother mount
It is said that she was an Indian woman who, contrary to her parents, went deep into the jungle in search of the man she loved and received a curse from her father, who chained her eternally to the forest. The mother mount lives in the woods, she covers herself with leaves and has long hair that covers her face and has never been seen by any human being. It utters heart-rending cries of a wounded beast and on peaceful days it imitates the chirping of birds and the murmur of the waters. Defend nature and punish those who harm it.
Single leg
It is said that she was an unfaithful woman who when being punished by her husband lost one foot and was banished forever to wander alone. This filled her with hatred and resentment towards humanity. She enjoys power at night and lives wandering on the roads chasing late-night men whom she deceives by showing herself as a beautiful woman and then showing her true image. He can be heard at night dragging the weight of his body on his good leg.
The weeping woman
They say that she was a very beautiful woman who walked from town to town and drove men crazy with her charm. Once she had a son who died of starvation, she did not bury him and continued to wander with him in her arms until he too died. No one has seen her, but the peasants hear her cry full of sadness since she could never overcome the loss of her son.
The footlight
It is said that she was an Indian woman who was burned alive with her family, in the house where she lived. It appears as a flame that glows in the dark, scaring the animals and filling the peasants with anxiety. It lives in the mountains, on the banks of rivers and where there have been burns or ruins are observed.
The poira
This mythological being that has the figure of a child, remains in the Magdalena River and in the streams of crystalline water that descend from the mountain, taking care of the great treasure of the golden tunjos, left by the Indians. Play in the waterfalls, say hello to the rainbow when it appears and be a faithful keeper of the foam that is made on the water.
The big hat
It is the ghost of a man who went through life without pain or glory, loved but was not loved and never decided on his future. He wanders under the moon covered by a ruana and with a large wide-brimmed hat under which he hides his face. A wandering walker, the hat dodges the paths without getting anywhere. Whoever finds him is afraid, because his figure denotes evil and disappointment
The guando
He was an Indian who did not love to interact with other human beings, he was never hospitable to anyone, he envied everyone and when he died he had no one to accompany him to his funeral. He appears dragged by four ghostly chargers who in turn carry four lit candles. He is seen from afar at night with his mummy appearance with a bulging belly. The peasants are very afraid of this death vision, which makes the hair stand up to those who meet it on their way.
The pure taita
He is an exclusive and authentic character from Huila mythology. It has its origins in the Pijao race, where he was considered the god of fire and crops. In the great festivities of San Juan, San Pedro and in the Bambuco Festival, he is represented as the lord and master of the festivities.
The tunjitos
El Tunjo is a gold doll that was buried with the corpses of the Indians along with other treasures and sometimes some food. The superstition of the first men was the one that gave life to the Tunjitos, totally golden men who come out in the afternoons and at night on the banks of the small streams, sometimes singing and sometimes crying. It is said that they are the fear of peasant children and that they are threatened with them so that they get into bed early and in silence. They also usually appear in the fields, at 6 in the afternoon, in the so-called hour of the shadows.
Bad chicken
It haunts us when we return home late at night. When you listen to him, you should never repeat his chirping, or pray, you just have to hurry up because otherwise he will get tangled up in your walk and will not allow you to rest.
The Gaitana
The scene of La Gaitana's warlike feat is located in the territory of Alto Magdalena, south of the current department of Huila, a region in which the war between Spaniards and indigenous peoples that began in 1538 lasted for more than a century. Sent by Sebastián de Belalcázar, he reached the Alto Magdalena valley to Captain Pedro de Añasco and founded the city of Timaná at the end of 1538. Añasco established a special friendship with an Indian whom the Spanish call Don Rodrigo. The Indian, the son of Pigoanza, one of the great caciques of the region, supplied the information required by Añasco to carry out the distributions of Indians among the conquerors.
