Only one photo of an allegedly slayed Lechuza from northern Mexico exists, according to. The site even claims the beast would swoop down on unsuspecting travelers on isolated roads. Just hearing the cries of La Lechuza is an omen someone in your family is about to die. In line with the legend, it is known as a creature of the night, often appearing outside homes and bars looking for her next victim.Īccording to, if you’re in your home, the creature will imitate the sounds of a crying baby or whistle to lure you in to be her next meal. Either way, La Lechuza is known by many in Texas and Mexico. Las lechuzas tienen un caracterstico disco facial en forma de corazn y dos predominantes ojos negros de gran tamao, son aves rapaces de hbitos nocturnos y emiten un fuerte ruido que parece un siseo para comunicarse, aparearse, alimentar a sus cras o bien, cuando se sienten amenazadas. Others say it’s the resentful soul of a woman looking for revenge for her child who died at the hands of a drunk driver. I’ve heard several people describe it as a witch who transforms into a massive owl over 7 feet tall sometimes, wearing the face of a haggard old woman. Growing up in a Hispanic household, I remember the countless warnings my family had given me of the Mexican terror, La Lechuza, the owl-witch who roamed around the night looking for her dinner. I stared at its eerie, white appearance which seemed to glow against the night until my mother came running out. A huge, white owl ruffling its feathers, revealing an enormous wingspan, as it sat perched on a tree branch. My first and only encounter with La Lechuza was when I was about 10 years old, playing in my front yard at night running barefoot, when suddenly a harsh, piercing scream resonated through the night.
