"The Caleuche"


The Caleuche leyend says is a ship that sails and roam the seas of Chiloé and southern channels.
It is manned by powerful witches and on dark nights is brightly lit.
In their sailings, aboard constantly listening to music. Hidden in a dense fog, which he produces. Navigates never daylight.
If by chance a person, other than witch is about the Caleuche becomes a simple floating tree, and if the individual attempts to take over the tree, it recedes. Other times it becomes a rock or any other object and becomes invisible.
Her crew become lions or waterfowl.
They report that the crew have to walk on one leg and the other is folded back, so go by leaps and bounds. They are all idiots and forgetful, to ensure secrecy of what goes on board. At Caleuche, not look at it, because the crew punish those who look at them, turning the twisted mouth, head back or killing him suddenly, by witchcraft. Whoever wants to watch the ship and not suffer the punishment of the twist, you should try the crew do not realize.
This vessel sailing near the coast and when a person takes over, takes her to visit cities of the sea and brings immense treasures, inviting her to join them on the sole condition of not disclosing what he has seen. If it did so, the crew of Caleuche, kill him at the first opportunity to return to meet him. Everyone who drown are collected by the Caleuche, which has the power to submarine navigation appear at the precise moment it is needed to collect the shipwrecked and keep within it, which serves as their eternal home.
When Caleuche need repair its hull or machinery, preferably chosen ravines and cliffs, and there, late at night, it should work.

  1. The story seems very interesting caleuche as the sea hides many mysteries and stories of sailing. Sirens, captains and crews traveling aimlessly around the coasts of the world or the deep sea by finding treasures hidden worlds like caleuche history where you can not count what you see or suffer great consequences.

    Myth or reality?

  2. This legend is related to many beliefs archipielago of Chiloé , as his crew are
    Witches and shipwrecked dead took the pincoya.

    Also is comments to be an adaptation of the legend of the ghost ship of Holland "The Calanche" or simply was an invention to hide smuggling operations in the archipelago.
