Some of the most eerie and scary monsters of legend hail from the stories of Latin America, from the northern borders of Mexico to the tip of South America. Legends of ghostly maidens weeping for their lost children, spectral dogs hunting in the night, shapeshifting tricksters, aquatic nightmares, and gigantic beasts lurking in the dark. This program will discuss a handful of the most famous, most eerie, and most dangerous monsters of Latin American folklore!
