What say you? Please do elaborate.

In the south, there is this idea that the devil appears in the form of a large black dog and also makes the sound of a crying baby.

We sold this place a few years ago but it was on this dirt road and it was known as the "devils" road as the devil was known to frequent it many times. Its a windy and lonely road that has all kinds of twists and turns and is actually quite pretty. The story was that the devil would walk the road when he wanted to think about things and also use it to go home on after wrecking havoc someplace. This road was spooky at night...several times, and you don't think about it when it happens, I saw this spanish looking guy, older and thin, dressed like a huaso but a little more on the spanish side of style, walking on the road. I would be un-locking a gate, bringing animals in or out and he would go by but always when I was in the middle of something else that made it hard to take too much notice. Everytime, in the time it took to lock the gate or whatever task was at hand ....and turn around, he was gone...this was freakky...very freaky and it happpend to other people in the family.

Also, there was one time where we were in the road fixing a gate that led out of the property. It was late winter in the afternoon and it was raining....not hard but that straight calm rain that happens in the south. On the road at the start of the property are a few ups and downs in the road and then in front of property it flattened out a bit but still went downhill but just slightly...we had Pino Oregons that we had nevr trimmend and the branches hung fat and wide across the road.

As we were working I noticed a man on horse back with a wider than usual huaso hat and a manta(like the castilla manta but thicker) a manta of this type is what you would maybe call in mexico a poncho. He was on a dark horse. He just sat on his horse about 80 meters away and when we looked in his direction he would not move but when we turned away he would come closer. We continued working up the hill and away from him, repairing the fence. He moved with us, just sitting on the horse under the branches of the trees where the shadows made it impossible to see his face. This went on for about 4 hours. We distintly felt that to go in his direction was unwise and we didn't.

As we finished the work and were turning into the gate we saw that he was gone. It was dark now and we didn't think anymore about it ecept just after we went to bed the dogs became insane....not barking but doing that cry-whining all at the same time. They didn't pay attention to anyone direction but just churned about the yard form one side to the other.

We had a haunted house there too that we had to move out of. We built another house a ways away and I never went back into it again. Thats a story for anohter time as i have to go now.

•• I never did figure out what that nightly "satellite" so far in the southern hemisphere sky was.

•• I recounted more than once the blood-curdling SCREAM-ROAR of a Chupacabra here around 4:30 am in the morning clearly heard by both me and my pareja literally below our window as we readied to go on a trip (reason why we were up that hour). Again, this was at a time when there was a series of media publicized chicken coop massacres in the area.

•• When we were scouting for a place on the coast we were stuck in San Antonio one night as all the buses leaving that evening were full. We had to beg for a low rate at this very old, apparently unoccupied, rundown, sprawling place, now closed on calle 25 de Mayo. Throughout the night, things like our plastic bags would fly up without any apparent air current reason, the TV control flew off the nightstand to the floor and the TV activated itself at around 6 am (perhaps this was a TV timer "joke" by the maid or other staffer?).

•• I recall the strange warbling sounds I heard in the sterile manicured bushes of the condo I moved into that jumped tens of meters in an instant to the next manicured bush which no one else seemed to hear or notice. My landlady, a lifelong resident of the area, mumbled something about brujas when I mentioned it. After two weeks, I no longer heard it just like everyone else.

•• There is the wacky story my landlady (lives in the same building 6 floors above) has of an OVNI she and two other persons with her witnessed that rose out of the ocean and flew directly towards and over the apartment complex I now live in.

•• Back in Santiago, I lived across the street from one of the preserved casas of Quintrala. I previously recounted the huge fire I witnessed next to it that left it untouched and the murdered man with blood flowing from his head on the historical cobblestone pavement in front of the iron gate entrance one 4 am-ish morning when I was escorting my pareja back to my apartment after her shift.

I saw an odd moving light above Valpo Harbor one night. Most of my UFO sightings have occurred in California though.

I marked "other". Every time I log on to this forum I see many unexplained and unexplainable phenomena.

1. Full Moon this last night.
2. The silent Llaima in the moonlight.

So I marked "other".
