In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month in the U.S., we’ve decided to bring you some urban legends from the Latinx culture. First, Cody talks about El Sombreron, a Guatemalan man who seduces women and is obsessed with braiding hair. Then, Chris shares the legend of the Peruvian Pishtaco and how it was blamed for a murderous gang that killed people for their fat. Next, Cody brings the lighter tale of La Planchada, a comforting spirit with a well ironed uniform. Finally, Chris discusses another horror tale: La Mala Hora, a horrendous lady you encounter at a crossroads. For Creep of the Week, we share some fun and interesting Mexican superstitions. This episode’s drinks are Sidral Mundet and Honey and Hive Riesling.Advisory: 0:00s-0:12s
