Well that night my cousin and I were outside my uncle's house talking about life and many events in her past, and outta the blue she whispers to me, "get up and run inside the house" I just sat there kinda lingering on her words, she repeated, "get up and run inside the house" this time with a firmer tone, I looked at her strangely and asked why. My experience personally, well, some of my family believes in curanderos, and according to the curanderos, my cousin has a "power". I've heard many different stories on the Lechuza, uncles, aunts, grandparents, friends, and like I mentioned, a whistling thing flying right above me. I honestly dont believe in it, but its hard not to believe stories that have been told about this "creature" I've heard of all my life. Now, I didnt see the "Lechuza" (correct spelling), but whatever it was, it did whistle while it was flying above my cousin and I.
