“LA PATASOLA LEGEND”

"Look into the distance history and let-you catch by the amazing and imaginative world of Colombian myths and legends"

La Patasola is the spirit of an unfaithful woman.
Who felt in love with her husband’s landlord. When her husband discovered the situation, he killed him and cut one of her legs.
She managed to scape, but later she bled and died.
She is a slim and beautiful woman with a single leg the form of a tree trunk that ends in a hoof of a bear. She has a sign in her chest and very long arms with hands as claws. Her aspect is frightful.
She has the eyes of tigers, a big mouth, enormous canines and entangled hair.
She lives in the woods, and has been seen singing and climbing trees waiting for the moon to come out. She is considered the lord and lady of the forest, surrounded by fierce and evil tiny beasts. She is persecuted by hunters, and she hates to be around dogs.
Sometimes she appears as a gorgeous woman.
Seductively she calls men and seduces them, as she advances through the dark of the forest, she transforms herself into a monster with eyes on fire immense mouth with feline teeth, and a Medusa's hair that falls on her face hiding her ugliness.
She devours her victim leaving only the bare bones,those who are able to escape, return to try to kill her.
The Legend says that only way to keep her away from us, is to be always accompanied of domestic animals, specially dogs, or having lit candles or an Axe.
