Malignant Child

This experience did not happen to me, it happened to my sister when she was around 11 years of age.

We were back in El Salvador and there is stories going around of a little boy that follows girls who are entering the stage of young women. Meaning girls who are close to getting their periods. This little boy is a child who was never baptized and lives in a tunnel that separates El Salvador and Honduras. It is said that he has been heard singing in the tunnel when he is crossing each country back and fourth.

Like I was saying, it is believed that he follows young girls entering the stage of young women. My sister at the time was entering hers and she said she would see and hear the little boy talk and sing to her. She mentioned it to my grandmother, who now rests in heaven, that she had heard the little boy. My grandma told her she had her hands full with him. She gave her a necklace with a cross which she had washed in holy water and told her never to take it off because it would take care of her.

One night when we were heading to bed with my mom, she made sure she had her necklace on. The next morning she woke up and was sitting down about to have breakfast. She then noticed she didn't have the necklace on anymore. We both got off the chairs and went looking for it in my mom's room since we slept with her. We could not find it. My mom had a table with a lamp next to her bed and that's when I saw the necklace. When she lifted it up the necklace was broken. The cross was also in half and she screamed for my mom. My mom ran in the room and asked what was wrong and that's when she told her about the necklace.

That same afternoon we went back to my grandma's house and she told my grandma that her necklace had broke off. My grandma knew she didn't do that to it, she knew the little boy had gotten mad and broke it off because it was a protection she had given her. My grandma told her not to get near the boy and stay far away as possible because it is said that if he touches her or anything she will go insane. Basically she won't know who she is and she will belong to the little boy and that is what he wants.

My grandma knows that if the young girls turning into women have a boyfriend he doesn't bother because they are taken but my sister was too young to have a boyfriend at the time. My grandma also told her that the little boy did not like girls who were dirty. She advised her to take a tortilla in her hand and eat it while she was in the bathroom. He would see her and think that she is gross and not bother her any longer.

My sister went ahead and did it and it worked for a while. Then a few weeks later it started up again but this time he would talk to my sister and he would stand outside of her window and tell her to go with him, that he would give her whatever she wanted and he would leave gold coins behind and throw sand at her window so she could pay attention to him. My sister was not afraid of him and when he would visit her at her widow she would argue with him and tell him to go away and let her be. He would scratch her window and she would do it back.

One day when she went to the store, she heard footsteps next to her in the wood. She knew it was him because she saw a big hat appear and disappear. She remembered my grandma telling her he did not like dirty girls. She decided to pick her nose and eat a booger she then heard someone almost throw up and for the next couple days and on from that nothing else bother her so he stopped chasing after her after she ate a booger. She told my grandma about it and my grandma started laughing and told her he would be back to take his gold coins back but not bother her any longer.

I hope you guys enjoyed the experience that happened to my sister.

Spanish Translation-"Es un espíritu enamorado que siempre busca a las mujeres jóvenes y bonitas, a las cuales no deja en paz hasta que hacen algo desagradable para él, como no bañarse o hacer cosas antihigiénicas. No deja tranquila a la muchacha bonita que escoge, por medio de ruidos por las noches, brisas y aromas, hasta causar que se quede solterona.

También cuentan otras historias que estos extraños seres son hombrecitos muy pequeños y de orejas puntiagudas, les gusta vestir ropas muy lujosas y de colores brillantes; y son guardianes de enormes ollas llenas de monedas de oro, y hablan un idioma que solo ellos entienden.

En nuestro medio se cree que son espíritus en pena y llegan a la casa donde los niños tienen un comportamiento incorregible, para llévaselos; es por eso que nuestros abuelos nos cantaban a la hora de dormir "Si no te duermes va a venir el duende y te va a llevar".

English translation- "He is a seducing spirit that always looks for young and pretty women, which he does not leave alone until they do something unpleasant to him, as bathing or unhygienic things. He doesn't Leave pretty girls he picks alone through the night, and he throws breezes and aromas, to cause spinster stay.

They also have other stories that these strange beings are very small and pointy-eared little men, they like to dress very fancy clothes and bright colors; and are custodians of huge pots full of gold coins, and speak a language that only they understand.

In our environment it is believed that they are spirits in sorrow and come home where children have an incorrigible behavior, to return them; It is why our grandparents sang us bedtime "If you do not sleep will come elf and will take ".
