The Witch That Could Turn Into a Turkey and Eat Your Kid

To the Temptations and the California raisins. Scary Mystery Surprise issues our deepest apologies. Also, I will not be apologizing to Canada because sometimes you do say a boot, and I know someone on our comments said they don't they say about Weirdly enough, i know someone in Canada named Jillian, so I'm wondering if it's the same Jillian, because there's clearly only one in Canada. And you know, look, Canadians think they're not saying a boot, but they are saying a boot. So I do not apologize for my statement. This is where I have to come in and apologize for Michelle. So her views are not the same as do not represent scary FM views. Oh that I state my regret. That's of the office joke, in case anybody gets it. Welcome to Scary Mystery Surprise, where we talk about scary things that surprised us around the Internet. I'm Edwin, I'm Michelle. So Michelle, yes, do you know what I'm afraid of? UH? School? Yes, but like a more traditional afraid of UH I thought we went over this aliens No, but close witches bruchas more specifically right, like the kind that I've heard of because of my family. Oh this is exciting. Yeah, not like the cool, you know, hipster older neighbor girl who claims to be a wicked or not who might also be Stevie Nick. So we don't know she's dancing. She's dancing to Fleetwood Mac in our house, and she's wearing black, but we don't know what kind of power she is. Yeah, not that kind. More of the flying creatures as scare towns and torment families for years as they stare at you with her dead eyes from your window. I don't know why. They just gave me chills for some reason, but I did. Yeah. And from the stories that I've heard, the kind that gets chased and even shot while they're flying, and then when they fall they realized that it had morphed into a woman that everybody knows. Really weird. These are like actual tales like these are. This is why it creeps me out, because for example, let's say you go out you shoot a witch like you shoot a flying creature and it happens to be a witch. You go out and you shoot a witch just like a normal Tuesday, and then she disappears right and then later on the townspeople. They go searching door to door and they find that a woman has been injured from a bullet wound, and turns out that this woman has been suspected to be a witch. It's that kind of tale that you're It's very common like to hear stuff like that, and it's usually small towns. So that's what I'm afraid of. There's a story that I was told on true scary story that I actually sorry it's for the Spanish version. They told me a story of like somebody who got kidnapped by a witch and when he returned, he couldn't remember anything, and he kind of just kind of lost his mind, like he was just kind of just late to respond. He was just something was off, like something was he was just not himself anymore. He really creeped me out. And then I started looking into the witches of that small town that she mentioned. Turns out there's a lot of stories about witches in that town, and it's real scared the crap out of me. Here's a short little tale. It was nineteen sixty the day December eighth and San Pedro, Black Scala, Mexico, planet Earth. A woman had a newborn baby, and was nursing her. Her husband fast asleep in the room. It was cold, so she wanted to go to sleep. But that's what you get for having Babies's just kidding, Wow, anti baby less political, someone's gotten real. We have a lot of families that listen to there's a lot of moms, So it just I was just kidding? Was he was? He though? Anyway, She put her down on her mat, then she got into bed. But then three hours later she was awake and looking at her window, and just outside her window was a bright light. She tried to get out to see what was going on, but she couldn't move. She felt heavy, and suddenly she was asleep again. Less than an hour later, she woke up, and this time she saw a strange mist forming in the room. It got closer and closer to her, and then she fell asleep. Turns out it's just at this woman like she just falls asleep like after some narcolepsy? Is this a story of a narcolepsy? And then she put was put on meds and everybody lived up we Ever, after the sun came out and she was shaken awake by her husband and they both ran into her baby's room and found that she was not breathing, she was all scratched off, and her skin was purple. Turns out that during the night a Mexican bruja known as a clawel pucci, a shape shifting witch that sucked the baby's blood you until it was gone. All of it was gone, like a raisin. The baby was like a raisin when they got in theirs. That's what she must have looked like. Yeah, that's why it was purple. It's a California Raisins. Anyway, The parents were obviously devastated, but then they found out that seven other babies were also found dead on that cold morning of December ninth, nineteen sixty. Oh shit, all raisined. They found seven other Raisins that night. I go to hell. I'll read you gotta say it with your NPR. Yeah, it was perfectly done in your NPR voice. And they found seven other Raisin babies in their cribs, blood drained, wrinkled, singing. I heard it through the grapevine for the bad wearing weird shoes that they hadn't been wearing when they went to bed that night. This is messed up. This is why this is messed up. This is just their babies, Michelle, come on, I hear you. I hear you, and we laugh to deal with tragedy, that's how you dispel sadness everyone. You make them the California Raisins. An anthropologist named Ugo Nutini happened to be there in that village of San Pedro in Tlaxcala in Mexico and the planet Earth when the killed those eight babies, and he examined them that same morning. He was so dedicated, in fact, to finding out what had happened, that he studied the cases for the next ten years along with other forty seven la would Bucci attacks, Wow, he actually has a book. Yeah, it's called Epistemological Study of Anthromorphic Supernaturalism and ruled Flexkala or you could just call it like I do. I asoart. Yeah, I keep thinks simple, you know, real catchy. In the book, he wrote about what he believed actually killed the babies, and the truth was just as frightening. Honestly, given the circumstances, the mothers were essentially not letting the babies breathe in their attempt to cover them up on those cold nights. So the babies were believed to have died from suffocation. Oh that's bad. That's kind of what he came up with. He also said that like if people in that town in Black Skyla, people believe in the traa would pucci that they just assigned, like they just give that as A's in like, oh that's what happened, and that's messed up, and they reinforce her own beliefs. That's what he said, right. But the challenge, like the challenge's theory here is he doesn't explain the thing about the light or the mist something that is said to happen when Achi is approaching. Wasn't there blood drained? Yeah, baby's blood was drained. How did they How did he explain that supposedly their blood was not drained. Oh so, the legend of this witch says that the Tla with Bouchi is a shape shifting witch that looks like any regular person except for once a month she removes her legs and arms. Huh. Interesting, that's that was a twist I was not expecting, I know, right, and then does what because like literally you can't do shit. She takes out her lens and she transforms into an animal like a vulture or a turkey. Don't knock the turkey. Benjamin Franklin wanted that to be America's national bird. That's right. They could have had the turk instead of the bald eagle. What a world that would have been so different. It's just like a turkey. I feel like it's one of those things where it's like we would have like a more peaceful existence if we'd gone with the turkey instead of the bald eagle. But yeah, that's true, But then it just wouldn't feel like Mierca. Yeah, we that only wouldn't be Amerca. Yeah, like a turkey anyway. So although the legend says she can transform into any animal, even to like a roach or a fly or a flea or whatever. Well, here's the thing. She needs to perform a ritual in order for it to happen. So where's a capulin wood from a cherry tree copol tree resin agave roots and dry so a potlet leaves. It's like a small yellow flowered shrub. Once she has the fire going and the ingredient's ready, she walks over to the fire three times, first from north to south and then from east to and then she sits on the fire, like ask first or I guess. So, Yeah, it's just like how big is the fire? I don't know, like it's I'm assuming it's like a decent sized campfire that has to be large enough for it to look powerful and evil. Oh, I mean like could she put it out with her ass? Hmmm, that's a good question we should ask historians. We're gonna get cursed for some reason. I feel like this is the episode where we get cursed. It was gonna happen. It was goun to happen. So and that's when her limbs fall off as she shaped shifts, so she has to do that. That ritual seems like a lot of effort, right, I just I don't know to become a turkey, why you can't even fly? You just run around as a turkey. Turkeys can't flying all. I don't think. I think they can like jump. I think they can like fly up into trees and stuff, but I don't think they're taking to the skies like chickens. She then puts her limbs in her home and as a turkey, yeah, walking as a turkey now, so she's just like carrying her limbs and then she's ready to hunt, so she needs blood to survive, right, that's the thing. So she goes after infants because they're easy prey. Right, turkey's like infant size. It's not going to go after a man. I'm just you think, like everybody just a friend of a turkey at night. It's just I know, I mean, at least like with a like a skin walker, you know, like they're like a coyote or wolf is like threatening. Even a mean big dog it's threatening. I don't know. I don't know about an evil turkey. Yeah, the Night of the Evil Turkey. It just doesn't have that ring to it. Like it's just no, it would be weird to see a turkey, Don't get me wrong. It would be very weird to see a turkey wandering around. Well. Yeah, it just depends on how you frame it, right, because it's like, Okay, imagine you hear a sound in the middle of the night and you're like, oohoo, you just red the story. But yeah, like manage up in the window and you see the turkey. I was gonna use this. It's tapping. It's the window, okay, okay, I scratching the dirt and you open the window and it's there. But yeah, sure, it's just wait, what was the other animal that could turn into chick? It could turn into anything, a roach of chicken. I mean, well, any animal actually, so let's pick a more threatening animal. So it could be the vulture. Is what was the other one that I say? Okay, vulture? Well you do vulture. So she goes after the kids, right, and her specific victim is between newborn from like zero months to ten months old, but prefers to hunts. On a very cold night between midnight and three am, she flies in the shape of a cross. I don't know what that means above a house. I like, how you interrupted me before I could even question, So how do you How do you fly in the shape of a cross? Is it like you go up and down? What species? Are we a vulture still? Or are we a turkey? Yeah, let's just assume we're a vulture. So I guess they would have to flap. Does it just hover? Maybe it is like a drone. I don't know, We'll never figure it out. Continue, Okay, So she flies in the shape of a cross above the house where she wants to enter. Some say she comes into the houses through the smallest crevices like cracks or keyholes. If she turns into a tick, ooh spooky. Yeah. Once she's inside, the room is filled with the paralyzing mist that paralyzes everyone, and then she feeds on her victim. Ugh yeah, okay, that gots it's weird. Making it a tick made it way worse. Like making it something that can just go between every crack actually made it scary. Yeah I should have said like a rat, and it's just yeah, turns into a rat, puts her limbs in a box and runs around like a rat, flopping around like I know, I'm so visual today. I just imagined like she's rolling in with no oh yeah, it's like, why'd you take your limbs off? This is probably the thing that would make the most sense is having your limbs on for this. But okay, anyway, so they say that I would Pucci is born this way, but she doesn't know it. So yeah, you only find out until puberty. Oh and yeah, there's no way to stop it. So once you're that, I would POUCHI your I would Puchi for life. Yo, that's your destiny. That's kind of cool. I mean, like, honestly, it's like, what teenager doesn't want to be special like that and have supernatural powers. That's like if there's not a teen drama of this already. And the only way to know if a woman is that that I would pucci is to catch her in the act because she keeps it a secret. Obviously, even her family if they find out, they will keep it a secret because if she's found out, people are gonna try to kill her, which is people are advised to do if you find one. I mean, it's either you kill her or more babies die. There are a few ways to protect yourself, though, and people have found that leaving scissors or safety pins underneath cribs seems to help, but I don't know, Like it just sounds dangerous, right, like around a baby scissors. It is like similar to the Changeling episode where you're just supposed to put the clothing of your dad on the baby's crib and it'll just keep them away. Yeah. They also say it suggests a mirror or a dirty diaper near someone's bed will ward her off, because I mean, it's a stinky diaper, Obviously it's gonna it'll ward off everyone, just like onions and garlic, which are also on the list apparently, Yeah, I believe to stop her. So that's about the TLAO and Pucci, like that's the legend of that. But in recent times, witches again they creeped me out, have been popping up all over social media. And there's this story that I want to share, which is like, it's my mom's story where the town she comes from a very very small town, and they had this rumor that went around that this I think I told you this story. Yeah, this woman will turn into a ball of fire. And one time they saw a ball offire going like flying across down the street and it crashed into a tree and the next day the lady that was known as the witch was all beat up. Oh yeah, so they say that it was her really cruised me out, and Christina that when she was doing well, she actually helps out with the research for Horror Story. Found some tiktoks, just a couple of them that I want to show you. So the story first off, this one that I'm about to show you is the one that seems similar to the story that was shared on the Spanish version of True Scary Story. Are you sending me the link? Yes, I sent you through I message, yeah, hold on, I can send you through. I just send it in the thing. Yea, there it is. Because Michelle doesn't want to her laptop is literally two feet behind her. I just can't. I can't be bothered. I just cannot be bothered right now. Well, but I also see how that would be like flying like a cross, because it's like, oh yeah, like the position is like a cross. Okay, so you can see it like the cars pulling up and they actually go around and they can still see it and it's just kind of floating there. That's the same image that gets thrown around where like yeah, they see this flying thing in the air and it's dark and it looks kind of like a trash bag, and so people say that it bounces around, very very creepy stuff. There's that famous that really old video that's famous that's like been on all the shows of the Witch that looks like that. Well this, no, it's not the probably the Monterey, Yes, that's it. Yeah, you know that's a different one. I mean that one's the ultimate one. So if you haven't seen it, please I might just post a clip somewhere with it because it's it's creeped me out. But anyway, this one I just I just send it to you, but let me because this one needs a little more detail so you won't be able to see it. So this one is where they say that she turns into a there's this ball of fire out in the hills. Now the actually, we'll have to see this on your phone or something because it's turning into three different balls of fire and then turning into one. And that area is known for rituals and witches, as you can see in the comments, like they start saying like, yeah, that area is known for witches. But it's not like an actual firefire. It's not like spreading, it's not it's just it's turning into three coming back to one, like could it be a fire dancer? Could it be something? Well, people believe that it's a ball of fire because they're known to do that, which is do that weird? But yeah, it's it's weird. It's intriguing. It's not definite proof. But when you hear a tale of a witch, when people say like, yeah, we saw her. Is what she looked like, this is what she did, is where she came from, And it's somebody who's like respected in the community. It makes you think, like, yeah, this might be real, and why aren't they I don't know. I always wonder like why aren't they like in cities and stuff, and because all these stories happen in like rural areas well. I mean it's because in the city, nobody cares if you're a witch or weird. You could be in a clown suit walking around and nobody's gonna care. Very true. Yeah, any big city, it is generally that you're gonna be fine. I don't know, Michelle, I actually believe that there might be flying witches out there somewhere, unless they're just birds. I don't know. I don't know, I don't know. I mean, there are witches, that's the thing. But you're not going to be disappointed there are witches. Are they floating? I don't know, But there are hard witches that like do stuff like that. Like you're not gonna be disappointed in the fact that they don't exist, because witches do exist. Yeah. I don't know, But maybe for an upcoming episode we'll talk about lal Chusa, which is also a very famous flying creepy creature, very creepy, and that's actually from Mexican folklore. Too, so we might talk about that later. But anyway, that's the story of that. I went puci you learned that. Hopefully you can pronounce it by the end of it, as I said it like a billion times. You did, but I don't think I can pronounce it. I still don't love poochi lawel well sla like with a tea t laowell Puci Puci. There you go, talawe puci hella la la Pouchi, there you go. It's Italian. Now it is a no. I think your fear of witches is valid. I really do want to do a series on that somehow, like go dive in, interview people and hopefully catch the ultimate video and then spend the rest of my life in fear saying that it was real, and in fear, I guess, in fear of retaliation from the weird witch cults out there. AnyWho, So that's a story. What are we going to talk about next week, Michelle, I don't know, but I think it'll be a surprise. Bye guys, Bye,
