#venezuela

The Whistle is a spectre of the folklore of Venezuela and the Colombian plains, which, according to oral tradition, is the soul in pain of a young man who murdered his father, cursed by such action, wanders the plains carrying his father's bones in a sack, throwing gloomy whistles into the air, He was cursed by his mother and grandfather, who whistled him a dog to bite him and they rubbed his wounds with hot pepper. Until the end of time he pursues him by biting his heels.

Other versions say that he punishes drunken men who party to party and in his bag he carries the bones of his victims, the Whistle presents himself to the drunkards in a gloomy way, wears a hat and when he attacks the parranderos he sucks their belly button to drink the schnapps
