Welcome to another episode of The Mysteries of Latin America. I'm your host, Andrew Colón.

I’ve been a huge fan of mysteries, myths, legends and stories for most of my life.

One of the things I’ve discovered by living outside of the US for a few decades is how

And now, on to this week’s episode….

Today, we’re gonna take a little trip to explore the story of a once-thriving tourist hub, that met a very eerie fate. Join me as we

Friends, welcome once again to the mysteries of Latin America podcast. I’m Andrew Colón, your host, and in this episode we visit (and sort of re-visit) a compelling figure I touched on in our very first podcast. 

Our first podcast was about Mexican scientist and researcher Dr Jacobo Grinberg, who had come up with his theories about how we are all part of a vast brain network he called the Hologram, or Lattice, or matrix…his inspiration for this matrix was born after meeting, observing and studying the mystical Mexican Shaman, known originally as Barbara Guerrero, but who the world would later simply know her as Pachita.

Her mystical abilities stunned thousands, from common people to Presidents, actors and artists, and her legend still astounds people today.

Listen to know of the astounding healing miracles she allegedly performed, who she worked with and who she helped, her origin story and what her family legacy is today.

I didn't set out to tell a story about serial killers. But after learning about this monster, I had to tell the story of perhaps the most prolific and brutal serial killer in modern history.

On Abril 22, 1999 in a rural area of Colombia a man kidnapped a child--that he planned to rape and murder. A young man who heard the child’s cries for help saved the child by throwing rocks at the attacker, who managed to escape. After police learned what happened, a manhunt was organized using police cars, taxis and private vehicles, and the attacker was arrested as he came out of a field outside of town.

This was April…the attacker was held under suspicion until October 1999, and by that time he had confessed and given vital information on the brutal rape, torture, mutilation and murder of 147 minors, mostly young men and boys in Western Colombia, making him one of the world’s most prolific serial killers in modern history.

A legendary creature roams the farmlands of the Americas--a hairless reptilian or canine-like beast with glowing red eyes, attacking and draining the blood of livestock wherever it strikes.
