Yazan:
You hear a whistle outside. Then wings land on your roof. And the owl staring back at you has the face of a woman.
This week, Jaz heads to South Texas, the Rio Grande Valley, and northern Mexico for the legend of La Lechuza, a bruja who can turn herself into an enormous owl. We get into where she came from, from Mesoamerican shapeshifter traditions to Spanish and Catholic ideas about witchcraft. We cover why you should never answer her whistle (or why some families say you should). We look at the 1975 Robstown "Big Bird" sightings, the knots, salt, and prayers people use to protect themselves, and why the real barn owl behind the legend deserves a little sympathy.
Grab a light and lock the windows. And whatever you hear tonight, don't whistle back.
