La Lechuza aka The Owl Witch was one of the scareactors that appeared in the Monstruos: The Monsters of Latin America haunted house during Halloween Horror Nights 2023 (Hollywood). She appeared in the Monstruos: The Monsters of Latin America (Orlando) haunted house alongside Muerte, Tlahuelpuchi & El Silbón during Halloween Horror Nights 33.

Backstory[]

The La Lechuza is a combination of an old woman and witch. Described with vampiric habits and the ability to turn into a humanoid with barn owl features, one of the many terrifying and creepy things that she can do is disguising her voice to mimic an infant to lure her victims in to capture and kill them.

In Central America, they are known as La Chorca and local legends of Honduras, Guatemala, and the north of El Salvador give her predilection for young men's blood and flesh and stealing babies from the arms of their mothers. She could kill babies silently by using some kind of magic thread that she made pass through cracks on the roofs and ceilings. She made sure the tip of the thread was touching her victim's head or belly button and then extracted the blood from there.[1]

Trivia[]

  • In 1975, a town in South Texas was terrorized by a La Lechuza only to find out through a local newspaper that the police had noticed they and the town were being pranked by a couple of kids moving a mannequin dressed up as a La Lechuza. However, this didn't explain many other peoples' reports of something flying in the air mysteriously.
