A Texas woman describes her encounter with, what she believes was, La Lechuza while staying at her cousin's house. Her cousin still experiences unexplained activity.
The following account was recently forwarded to me:
“This incident occurred in Ozona, Texas in the summer of 2015. I had been on the phone with my ex-boyfriend, but I had fallen asleep. Then I suddenly woke up because I could hear my ex-boyfriend saying "Baby please, don’t do this." I believe that I had broken up with him while I was sleep-talking to him.
Anyway, he was telling me I was saying ugly things to him. In the middle of our conversation, I hear wings flapping and see a large shadow stop at my window. The first thing that runs through my mind is La Lechuza. I tell my ex not to hang up, but not to say anything. I'm scared. And I don’t explain anything to him. Then all of a sudden the shadow disappears. I then start telling my ex what happened, when from the ceiling of my room I hear this horrible laugh and scratching. Then I try to yell and nothing comes out. I am frozen scared. I try to yell, I try to get up, but I can't.
Somehow I finally jump off my bed and run across to where my cousin and her daughters are asleep. I try to wake up my cousin so I touch her and she opens her eyes. I said, "There's a Lechuza." But she didn’t understand me. She said "What?" pretty loud. The girls woke up and right then its right above my cousin's room. The girls start to cry. I'm starting to freak the heck out. We don't know what to do.
My cousin and I decide to call the cops and tell them that we saw someone looking in the window. I mean what would they think if we said, "We need an officer to rid us of this Lechuza?" Anyway, we call them and I swear the scratching, laughing and thuds are loud and getting louder. We wait and literally seconds before we see the spotlight from the cops outside, it stops. The cop arrives, but they soon leave.
About ten minutes after he leaves it comes back. We run to the car and decide to leave. That was the last day I lived with my cousin." J
NOTE: The witness told me later that her cousin continues to see shadows at night and that the laughing and scratching still occur. She has tried to record the sound but each time nothing is heard in the recording. She had tried to use an old cassette recorder but that didn't work either.
Her cousin has also stayed at a friend's house and the disturbance manifested there as well. This has continued for 7 years.
Lechuza is a Spanish word for a type of owl, especially the barn owl. The purported myth is popular throughout northern Mexico and Texas. As the story goes, an old woman shapeshifts into a giant owl, La Lechuza, to take revenge on people who wronged her during her life. Sometimes the owl is variously depicted as black or white and sometimes with the head of the old woman. The story is often used as a cautionary tale. Lon
