El Sombrerón Part 2 Jun 08, 2023

Show notes

El Sombrerón is a legendary figure in Guatemala. He is described as a short man with a large hat who appears at night to serenade or court young women. El Sombrerón is known for his obsession with women's long, beautiful hair. He plays a guitar and uses a magic spell to enchant the women, causing them to fall in love with him. He then braids their hair in intricate styles, using magical knots that are impossible to untangle. He is said to be a skilled musician and dancer, captivating his victims with his talents. He often visits women's homes or frequents places where they gather, such as the outskirts of towns, rivers, or abandoned fields. It is believed that if he becomes infatuated with a woman, he will cast a spell on her, causing her to go mad or fall ill. Some versions of the legend even suggest that he kidnaps women and takes them to his underground lair. Ladies keep this weirdo away from your beautiful hair.
