There’s an urban legend in Venezuela surrounding “El Silbón” (The Whistler), a figure known in the wetland fields and prairies areas called “Llanos.” The Whistler is typically depicted as an extremely starved man wearing cowpoke’s clothes, with a wide overflow cap that shrouds his skeletal face. He wanders the wide open and fixes of shrubbery during the evening, his shoulders hanging, his look cast descending. He conveys an overwhelming pack loaded with bones and half-deteriorated stays over his back.
Consistent with his name, the element ceaselessly shrieks a high harmony movement (C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C) that runs higher tuned in to each note. He is likewise unnaturally tall and solid, with a few records portraying him as overshadowing six meters (just about 20 feet) in tallness.
His inception isn’t clear, with a few stories giving him a role as a detestable parricide. He’s reputed to go after solitary voyagers, particularly alcoholic or unfaithful men. Legend has it, his foreboding shriek is all of a sudden heard uproarious and close, yet the source can’t be pinpointed. In spite of rationale, when the sound brings down and seems more inaccessible, the Whistler is exceptionally close. He slaughters either by choking or by dull power injury, eating up his unfortunate casualties and tossing the bones in his sack. He can be seen sometimes swimming over the high dividers of haciendas. Supplication is said to keep him away.
This is indeed scary. By the description of the element, its height and features, I am totally spooked out. I cannot even imagine what would be the plight of the men who ever had an encounter with this element.
Same here girl
It seems so scary.. 😰😱By the way you described it, it really gives me chills.
It’s official!! This is my absolutely favorite category if your blog. Please keep it up! I love getting spooked!!!
I love these types of horror legends even though they creep me out lol. 20 ft tall! Like th Slenderman horror in America. However the Whistler came up, someone must have been high on local plants and stuff. Lol.
Quite the creepy spectre, and definitely something to ward people off from behaving badly in any sort of acting on their part. It would be a terrible death had at his hands in either case.
That is a little to freaky for me! I love reading about urban legends though they are so interesting.
That is horrifying. How does anyone ever walk around at night in Venezuela? Utterly terrifying.
this urban legend is pretty scary! I like it a lot! awesome, thank you for sharing, I am sure I wouldn’t read it otherwise
That’s an interesting urban legend. Do people walk around Venezuela at night? I’m curious how history ties into this legend.
omg the story!!! The scariest thing i’ve read! Thank you so much for sharing.

I love these urban legends. Although they are a little scary, I still love reading them!
I was so scared when I saw the photo! We also have Urban legends here in our country.
Now, this is a scary legend I have to admit as well it is one I have not come across before. Thank you for introducing me to it.
I love reading popular legends, though terrifying, and I did not know this, but I find it intriguing. I will try more info!
Oh my, this is rather scary. But I always love hearing these stories. They are always interesting.
I hate being spooked. Sometimes these urban legends are pretty interesting though.
This is scary! otherwise I like the way you’ve developed your story line. Thanks.
What a scary legend! I never knew about the Whistler; I always love a good spooky story to tell!
I would be afraid to be out after dark in this town. This gives me the creeps.
I love urban legends, I somehow find them exciting! I also like that somehow they can come with various versions too!
The whistler prey sounds quite frightening. I wouldn’t want to walk around alone in Venezuela.
Terrifying! I can’t even imagine where these stories come from but it couldn’t have been anything good!
I love reading horror stories, it’s okay to be scared sometimes. I just hate being 🤯 that horror movies always do. 😊
I’m not a fan of urban legends. I think usually they are stories that are exaggerated over time.
I will share that post with my older daughter, she loves anything that can scare you. She would love it.
This is an interesting story to know and really a creepy one. To be honest this is the first time I’ve encounter this story from Venezuela and gives you the chill that it will never cross your path someday.
I definitely wouldn’t want to run into him in a dark alley! Pretty far fetched, but we all love to be scared!
Oh my now I am going to have nightmare I am so freaked out by scary movies or anything scary and this is really spooky.
I’ve heard of the Whistler before. There are a few other urban legends from a few other countries that have a similar legend.
That’s an interesting urban legend. This is pretty scary. Thank you so much for sharing.
It’s always interesting to learn about urban legends. Though a it scary, it’s very informative about other culture
Thanks to my Netflix brain, I could imagine this in such a scary way. You have got great knack for description.
This is a very scary urban myth. Even as an adult this makes me feel nervous x
What a scary story. I don’t know how to feel right now. This make me freaked out Lol
So creepy!! I can’t handle watching scary movies, but this was fun to read!! Keep these posts coming!
This is a very interesting story. One that I had never heard of. Also a bit scary!
This is true nightmare material.Glad is just an urban myth and nothing more, unless is maybe true ?
You never know… 😉
Very interesting but very creepy!!!
That’s scary! And these tales are usually based in something that happened — some unfaithful man disappeared or something like that. Unfaithful men beware! I love tales like this!
Yikes! This sounds so spooky. It gave me chills just reading it.
This story really creeps me out. It sounds so scary yet very interesting. I love seeing scary movies and hearing about scary tales.
This was a scary read but very intriguing. I couldn’t stop reading. I didn’t know any of these.
This is probably something I didn’t need to be reading right before I went to bed! He sounds terrifying!
Oh mu gosh this is creepy! And that picture! I am probably going to have nightmares tonight! LOL!
Oh my god! That was so scary! These urban legends makes me resist peeing at night. So creepy…
Wos this is scary, I honestly have to scroll down fast because that picture is very spooky! 🙂
Spooky! I can just imagine the horror of those who see this creature. I would think twice of going hiking in Venezuela without a guide. Better safe than ending up in a sack.
Freaky/scary is what a lot of people are saying. It really is scary to read!
Hmmmm! very scary interesting creepy tales! keep it coming. hahaha. Thanks for sharing.
This is so scary, but interesting legend I admit.
Gotta love the South American legends. I have traveled to Chile a few years ago and learned so many local legends in which people believed. It made the places so much more authentic.
If this is true video of this should be obtained and highlighted on the Internet. To view this image would definitely be a scary sight
These things are always so creepy to me and make me never want to live in these places!
Wow, thanks for this tale! I love paranormal and I love to heard other stories around the world!
Oh wow! That is so interesting. And honestly, I never ever think about places being haunted or having stories like this when I travel. So cool – and frightening!
Urban legends are so scary! This is so interesting and scary at the same time.
That’s definitely a spooky story – but super interesting to read!!! Thanks for sharing this tale!
i’ve longed since stopped scaring myself with books or movies. I got old and I became a bigger scaredy cat. Haha.
Scary story, frightening picture. Your use of words is quite creative. Well done!
This sounds like a horrific experience. I can’t believe this could happen. Heart-breaking.
Urban legend are so interesting but this is a little bit scary!
AHHH scary urban legends are everywhere! lol it’s as universal as smiling
