When darkness descends on the Amazon, the rainforest transforms into a place where folklore breathes and shadows take shape. In this haunted episode, we explore the chilling legends of its most feared and revered spirits – from the child-sized Curupira with backward feet, to the mournful whistler El Tunche, to the towering Mapinguari and the shape-shifting Encantados.
