The Siguanaba of El Salvador 🇸🇻

I posted this a while back and wanted to post again.

Have you ever heard of The Siguanaba?

My mom grew up in a little town in El Salvador called Chalatenango. She would tell me and my sisters this story and she swears it really happened. All of my aunts that grew up with her confirm this story also. Supposedly, my mom's friend's bother woke up one night at around 2am in the morning. He was around 27 I believe. It was still dark out, but he had to take a piss. This town is poor so his bathroom was outside. While he was taking piss a beautiful woman walked past him. He was a player and went after her. He tried talking to her, but she keep walking away. She eventually stopped and turned around. When she turned around he was shocked to see that she had the face of a pig. He immediately started screaming. This woke his family and they went to his aid. They find him screaming rolled up in a ball in the middle of the road. They took him to the hospital. He went crazy. Before he went fully crazy he was able to tell his family what had happened. My moms friend told her what had happened to her brother. All of the neighbors that lived around the man that this happened to heard him screaming also and looked out their windows and saw him there. My mom said the ghost/creature is called The Siguanaba.

She has told me some other crazy ones that has happened to her when she was a kid. And my aunts and uncles have told me ones that have happened to them. Let me know if he want to hear them too. El Salvador used to be very hunted according to my family from there.

This story was told to me by my uncle and swears it really happened. He was the only one in the family this happened to so no one else could back his story. I dont know if I believe this myself.

In 1979 their was a 12 year long civil war in El Salvador. My uncle was in the military. He was sent to the woods/jungle with like 6 other guys to go look for milita groups that we supposedly camping out their.

After walking in the woods/jungle for hours, they suddenly felt the ground shake as if something big was coming towards them. He described it like in jurrassic park then the t-rex was coming towards them and the water rippled. He said they thought it was the enemy doing something so they hid.

He said that he was shocked when he saw a giant! He said it was walking in the distance. I asked him if it was just maybe a really really big person like Bigfoot and he said no. It was more of a jack in the bean stalk kind of giant. He said their were trees blocking the view somewhat, but that he could make out that it was like a really big human. He said it was as tall at the tallest tree there. He said he tried to get a good look at it, but he was terrified and didn't want to get out of his hiding when he realized what it was.

He said the giant basically just walked past them. He said they were all terrified and and waited their for a while as they were scared to bump into another one. He said two of the guys suggested trying to kill it to get rich, but the guy in charge told them to stand down. My uncle said everyone thought they were idiots for suggesting such a thing.

He said they walked back to base as quickly and quietly as possible. They told everyone when they got back no one believed them. They were friends with the pilots. And the pilots called bullshit on their story because they fly over the jungle all the time and would have seen such a creature especially if it was as tall as the trees as they claimed. He said all of the guys described what they saw. One guy claimed that it appeared bald. Another guy Said he thinks it had some sort of loincloth like Tarzan.

My uncle emphasized that he didn't get a good look. And that all he knows is that the ground was shaking as if some really big creature was coming towards them. He saw what appeared as a giant human walking in the distance. He got down and hid and waited till it was gone.

I began to ask him things like if it was real don't you think they would have find a body or some bones of something that big. Especially since El Salvador is so tiny in relation to other parts of the world. He responded along the lines of "I don't know about none of that stuff, I just know what I saw that day."

I don't know how I feel about this one personally. This one seems a little out their. My mom said maybe it was some sort of spirit that just made it self appear as a giant to scare them. During the Civil War times my mom claims their was alot more paranormal things going on because of all the deaths that were happening. Alot of innocent people were being killed. My grandma would say if you looked out the window of the house you would see dead bodys on the street.

That wouldnt explain the ground shaking though. Has anyone ever encountered a story of a jack in the bean stalk kind of giant?? This one scared me as a kid because it's so unbelievable, that if he did actually see that, that's crazy.
