I am Tatiana Ayala and I am going to tell you some experiencies from people that believe in those myths and legends.
In Melgar- Tolima, a man called Manuel told me that when he was younger he went to fish to the river sumapaz and he couldn’t do it and he asked himself why he couldn’t fish and what was wrong with the fishing rod so he said himself “maybe the fishing rod was broken” but it was good then he remembered that he had to offer a tobacco to the Mohan and he made it and when he went to fish again he could do it, and behind him there was a man with very long hair and nails but he couldn't see that man well and the same story happened to Manuel’s son but the son could see better that man “Mohan”.

When I was 12 years old I went to the Angie's house ( one of my friends) and I remember that we were walking in the neighborhood and we saw a little boy so we were curious and I thought 'we have to investigate it' and we followed that boy but it was very short and very weird also it was green.
I know it is very strange to believe but it is the mystery of the World but I am sure that that boy was a elf because he hid in the trees and for his figure.
I think that in this world there are other beings with us so don't close your mind.
I am Claribel Zamora and I remember when I was child my father told me many stories about myths and legends and I liked to listen that he told me stories about elves, witches, el Guando, el sacerdote sin cabeza, etc...

My father told me that the witches fly in the night at 8 pm and that they turn into a turkey and at 4 am they arrive where they go, he says that there are sorceress witches and candlestick witches also that there are good witches because they like to travel for different places and there are bad witches because they like to do damage to innocent people.
I have liked to listen stories about that but I am a fearful person and I don't believe in those things because maybe I have never happened nothing about that also I think that those things are in the mind of the person or maybe people happened this things are very strong and also y believe in God a lot and I think if you are with God, all will be good,and when a person talk about ghosts I listen but I have never seen something like that and I don't believe in that, I think that those things are in your mind.
