Legends and myths

Legends, myths and traditional fantasy stories are great. They tells us about fantastic events that happened in a place, things that with time are full of details and attractive elements. One of my favorite legends is King Arthur, because he is a character that has some roots on a real man, a roman soldier that arrived to England. Arthur tried to stablish an ideal society and a model to follow. What's your favorite legend? Tell us about it.

    De Sofía Godoy.

    Nine veces Veronica.
    It was a girl of 14 years who was in a village with his friends, he spiritualism in an abandoned house. But do not play with the spirits and she is laughing during the invocation and a chair in the room who had come to life and fatally struck in the head.
    But Veronica does not even rest in peace.

    Ana was a boy the same age of Veronica, she was at school with their peers, they read the Challenge Veronica 9 times, but it did not look bad, nothing happened and everyone forgot what they had in fact Ana but was afraid.
    One night, while sleeping, felt a noise that woke up, was not a coup but a whisper around the neck while I felt someone breathing on your neck.
    The next day at school not told anything to his colleagues and the bathroom was very scared, go to the bathroom was very cold, but it took no great importance because it was in winter and also fog. Washed his face and see the mirror, he saw a girl at his side, looked back but there was nothing, then look in the mirror and it was written: 'I'm Veronica. You should not invite me back.

    This legend can get an education, not there to play with the spirits.

    the leyend that i like is the one of the alicant, because it speacks about the peoples's ambition
    and the consequences that it brings to us.

    being ambitious can bring us possitive and negative consequences. for one side, being ambitious can help us
    to try harder the things that we want, it help us to get the goals and dreams we have. but the negative side of this
    is that we tent to lose the notion of why we were doing something, we get blind with power and this makes us cold and mean
    people, and this makes that sometimes we don't care about hurt other people if we get what we want.

    Cave Quicaví


    It is said that in the town of Quicaví (commune Quemchi) is a cave which is also known as Casa Grande. This would be home to the lair of the Supreme Brujos (a king or ruler and be protected by the Imbunche.

    It is a series of articles of witchcraft, such as one that reveals the past, present and future, and everything you want to know the Supreme. There is also the Macuñg, a light jacket worn by witches at night and that helps them to fly, this is made of human skin.

    Sorcerers, when they want to be in the dark, down the poncho, and if they want to light it up.

    Others say that there is the Book or Revisorio, an instrument used for various tests, and Chayanco, used to monitor all members of the community of witches.

    The cave would have its entry into a ravine and measured approximately 200 meters long and would be an underground site with many dependencies.
