So, I heard this from my grandfather, who claims to have met "The Sigüanaba" more than once.
He describes her as very ugly woman, a deformed face, long nails, half naked, very long and wrinkled skin, unbelievable long black hair as equally long her breast is and eyes as read as burning charcoal embers without forgetting that she laughs like a crazy woman on drugs. Can you imagine? I can not.
He is not the only one who has confirmed her existence. I wonder.... what has become of her?
Nowadays very few people has talked about her appearance; of course this has occurred in the outside parts of the different cities in El Salvador.
The story says that she was a Mayan Princess who fell in love with the wrong man and as punishment for having gone agains her society rules, she was casted with a spell to become this unbearable, horrible creature, sort of like demon, who will wander the country side, when the nights are darker than others and the forests had no sight of life. Then is when she would surprise any person who dare to travel around through these lands. She would first appear as a beautiful lady on the side of the road, she would ask for a horse back.. hugging tightly onto the man's back she would make the very famous question: "Can you see my nails?" and then is when the man would turn to see that the beautiful lady he had just picked up on the road has transform into this hideous creature. What to do then?
Some have had the courage to shield by saying: "Mary, hen claws" and that would make her go away.
Inexplicably people have died from a very high fever over the night after the encounter.
They are not able to talk, and only last for a very few hours before their death.
What do you believe now in La Sigüanaba?... If you wished you could see meet her in order to believe. What I say to you is... be careful with what you wish.
