#silbon

El Silbón, also known as the whistler, is a vengeful ghost from Colombian and Venezuelan folklore. It was once a young man, who murdered and disembowelled his father after he killed the young man's mother for her supposed infidelity. The youth was then lashed and set upon by rabid dogs. Before he died, his grandfather cursed him to carry his father's bones for all eternity.

El Silbón now lives on as a spirit, who wanders around whistling and taking revenge on drunks and womanisers. It will suck the alcohol from the stomach of drunkards, and tear apart lustful men, putting their bones in its sack along with the bones of its father. It fears the sound of barking dogs and the lash.
