They will prey on people who they think have done them wrong or they will steal children to use in their occult rituals. Some say that the Lechuza has sold her soul to the devil in order to gain her powers. Usually, the Lechuza will appear as a large bird, the size of a human being. It can also appear as a creature with the body of a bird but the head of a hideous old woman. They usually only come out at dusk or after nightfall. Many people in Mexico have spotted lechuzas flying high over the tops of houses or have seen it outlined against the moon at night. If the Lechuza fixates on you, it will sit outside your door at night, making crying sounds like a baby. If you go outside to investigate, it will swoop down on you and carry you away. If you find unexplained scratches on your door or windowsill, it could mean a Lechuza has visited your house during the night. “When I was a child, my family lived in a little town near the mountains in mexico. I remember my mom telling me about an old lady that lived nearby. She was 60 or 70 years old and my mom said she was suspected of being a witch and could turn into a “lechuza”. Apparently, the old woman had done some witchcraft (“brujeria”) on my grandma. My grandmother’s hair and eyebrows were gone. Some people in the town wanted to hurt the “lechuza” to see if it was really this old lady. One night, when they saw the giant black bird, they took out their guns and started shooting at it. When she eventually came out, she couldn’t walk and she was hobbling around on a cane…” They waited and waited, but for days the old lady never left her house. My older sister claimed she saw a lechuza a few years ago when she went back to visit. They were swimming at a local pond and they saw an enormous black bird watching them from afar. They started getting freaked out and decided to go home. My uncles claimed they shot a lechuza and the next morning, they found an old lady lying there dead from gunshot wounds… so… either lechuzas are real… or…my uncles are murderers!” The lechuza followed them all the way home while they were driving and stayed outside their house until dawn. Hey SFK! I wanna share something with all your readers in here… I don’t know it’s worth publishing it on your site or not ’cause it’s like a really really short thing when written down, still it’s a true thing, so I am just writing it to you. I will suddenly wake up feeling a movement as if somebody is getting on my bed. I would feel my hands and feet growing cold but I become so afraid to turn around and see, that I keep lying perfectly still. After sometime I could feel the thing recoiling out off my bed slowly, as if trying to trace a movement in me but I would lay still, closing my eyes. After sometime when I can feel my palms and feet warming up, I would turn around, ofcourse to see nobody. It has been happening once or twice a month for the last 5-6 months. Recently I had a nightmare that triggered me to write about it. I dreamt I was sleeping peacefully when suddenly somebody jumped up on my bed. In my dream I woke up but like other days, I was lying down still. I felt I was being pulled slowly to that thing though I didn’t feel anything touch me. I knew something would go wrong if that thing gets me, I suddenly stood up and went out of my room without takin a look at my bed. I don’t remember where I went but when I felt myself warm enough, I came back to my room just to find a black stain beside where I use to sleep. I don’t know what to do or whom to say, so I thought it’s better to seek help from my friends here.The legend of la Lechuza is one that can be heard all over Mexico. It is said that a lechuza, or owl, specifically a white owl, is a bruja or witch that has taken the form of this owl. There are small owls that are believed to be witches, but the legend of La Lechuza is one giant owl. Some say it is a white owl, but there are stories and reports that it is black owl. It is 7 feet tall and has a wingspan of 15 feet.
