The legend of " el Silbón".

Legend has it that in the plain region, in the dark night, the whistle of "el silbón" is heard. They say that the sound is like the scale of musical notes: do, re, mi ... until the last note ... That if you listen to it and you are alone, and the sound is far away, you must prepare yourself, death is near you . If several hear it and with a loud sound, keep calm because nothing will happen to you!

The plain is a place with peculiar characteristics. There are many fields. Life there is primarily about raising certain species of domestic animals. That the people have good livestock, especially those that produce milk and meat. In addition to planting many cereals, such as corn, rice, peanuts, and a large number of vegetables. Hunting wild animals like deer, rabbits, and other animals is important to the maintenance of families.

They say that a long time ago there was a young man. He did not have much mental aptitude and was very spoiled by his parents. To the point that the young man wanted to eat the entrails of an animal and asked his father to go hunting. Many hours later and very late, the young man saw that his father had not arrived. The young man went looking for him. He found it but without game animals. As the father did not comply with his will, he became so angry that with the same shotgun that his father brought he killed him.

He removed the viscera from his father's body. And I keep them. He collected his father's bones and placed them in the hunting bag. He brought the entrails to his mother. She cooked, but was very worried that her husband would not arrive ... the son's behavior was very strange ... she questioned him several times. Until he got the young man in his madness to tell him what he did to his father.

She terrified begins to scream! ! Grandpa listens to it. He was present and listens to what the boy did to his father. The grandfather grabs the boy, ties him up and whips him. He gives the boy so many blows with the whip that he cuts his skin. Not calm with this. He places brandy, salt and hot peppers on the wounds. Release the boy from his moorings. He curses him for all eternity, to carry his father's bones. And unleashes his fiercest dog to end the boy's life.

Legend has it that horror is heard along with the sound of bones. The bag full of bones that he carries. Those who have seen the figure of terror say that it measures 3 to 6 meters. Who wears a hat that covers his face. When you are sitting in the dark night, you can see your leg bones so thin that they extend past your head. He appears to drunken men, womanizers, and those late at night outside their homes.

They say they have seen him playing with the sand on the ground, while he waits for the person he has chosen to approach him.

Legend has it that next to his whistle you can hear the sound of the bones in his bag, with the bones of the men he has killed.

This legend is told in the dark nights of my plain, by the light of a bonfire, while people are lying in their hammocks waiting for sleep to cover them.

Very unfortunate that the son killed the father for a selfish spoilt reason. This is one tragically horrifyingly sad legend, one that can be made into a movie, just like the "Llorona" legend. Your country has many of such legends @gertu13!

In fact these legends have their movies and they also have narrative on the radio. They are heard in the towns of the plain. Radio stations broadcast these stories in programs for cultural purposes in the towns of the plain.

Soon I will tell another legend.

For tomorrow I will write another legend. I have to write while standing because a strong pain in the sciatic nerve does not let me sit down.

In fact, it's on the only platform I'm writing on because I can't write much.

Oh no.. sorry to read about the pain you are having dear. Is there any way you can find treatment for the pain? Ice or heat packs? Do they help? Or a belt? Any stretches or slow exercise that you can do? Don't strain yourself. If need to, maybe you can get your son to type as you tell your story :)

Thanks for your support.

I have treatment through tablets. These do not have the same result as when injected. But I don't have what it takes to undergo invasive treatment. So this is good, but slow. I must have patience. And yes, I also do exercises and complementary therapies.

My son also works on another platform. I don't want to take his time because then I don't get money and neither does he.

Although when he sees me suffer a lot he helps me with something, such as translations for example.

I will post another post shortly.

When I read your publication, I was scared, that unfortunate event happened, I presume that this child had mental disorders to get to kill his own father, I advise the children to honor their parents, because they gave them life, I had not read this legend of the silbón for a long time, our country is very rich in stories, which we keep present in our national identity.

I like the story scary but very interesting as I believe all legend stories the unseen ghost and many others. Ghost is the winner of them all as they always appear in my dreams or nightmares haha. So this story is kinda truly happened way back long long before.

These legends of my country are supposed to have occurred in the years of our independence. perhaps and they were counted among the soldiers themselves so that they did not sleep.

This is a kind of scaring story to tell before bedtime. Some stories are good and give you something to think about before you fall asleep. That son... I wonder how he became that bad. Too much spoiled or character?

Often, in some cultures, parents of children with certain learning disabilities are more concerned with pampering them than teaching them. And they end up making them sick.

Could this be a case?
