Then, we move on to sharing and discussing some of the theories and legends that people have shared over the years. We talk about the tale of a giant octopus that lives inside the blue holes in the area, to the three unusual and unidentified objects that were found under the water, among other things.

We covered its origins more in depth in Episode 38, but for this occasion, both of us share some stories that happened to us and people we know that have to do with the Lechuza.
