Apparently, the old woman had done some witchcraft (“brujeria”) on my grandma. She was 60 or 70 years old and my mom said she was suspected of being a witch and could turn into a “lechuza”. I remember my mom telling me about an old lady that lived nearby. “When I was a child, my family lived in a little town near the mountains in mexico. If you find unexplained scratches on your door or windowsill, it could mean a Lechuza has visited your house during the night. If you go outside to investigate, it will swoop down on you and carry you away. If the Lechuza fixates on you, it will sit outside your door at night, making crying sounds like a baby. Many people in Mexico have spotted lechuzas flying high over the tops of houses or have seen it outlined against the moon at night. They usually only come out at dusk or after nightfall. It can also appear as a creature with the body of a bird but the head of a hideous old woman. Usually, the Lechuza will appear as a large bird, the size of a human being. Some say that the Lechuza has sold her soul to the devil in order to gain her powers. They will prey on people who they think have done them wrong or they will steal children to use in their occult rituals. This story is also known as “La Mujer Lechuza” which means “The Owl Witch”.Īccording to Mexican folklore, a Lechuza is an old witch (or Bruja) who can turn herself into a monstrous black bird.
The Lechuza is a scary Mexican urban legend or myth about an old woman who can turn into a giant black bird.
