He can make people go deaf, he can can strike people blind, and he can disorient people who get too close.
He's mostly active at night, and he lives in swampy areas because it’s neither land nor water - it's unstable, just like himself.Īlthough Atsybal doesn't hunt people, when someone approaches the place where he has settled, he will try to kill them. Nobody who has ever seen him has survived to tell the story, so his appearance changes depending on who you talk to: a tall creature, covered in wet swamp water, with legs, arms and other parts covered and protected by plants and wood.Īntsybal makes venturing into the swamp very dangerous. There’s an old myth in the eastern parts of Russia – across the Ural mountains and far away in Siberia – about a creature called Antsybal (or Achibal), an evil spirit who lives in swamps. The Corpo Seco is thought to have the power to dry out and kill trees, but also to suck the blood of humans on deserted roads in the dead of the night. After having his eternal rest denied, he turned into the Corpo Seco. When he died, the ground rejected his buried body, and his corpse kept returning to the surface. There are many different versions of the origins of Corpo Seco (also known as Unhudo or Big Nails), but it is consensus that he was once human, and was a very cruel man when he was alive, with some stories calming that he even beat his own mother. "I always thought this was just an old story linked to cemeteries, but no, I saw with my own two eyes that the Corpo Seco exists, and I don't want to go near that cemetery again," retiree Maria Aparecida Soares Branco told her local paper.
A strange story in the world full#
This creature was once described as having a "shriveled body with an ugly face full of pustules" and has been sighted in several cities in southeast Brazil.Ī few years ago, the Corpo Seco (which roughly translates to dried body in English) was seen on top of a wall in a cemetery in Mogi Guaçu, São Paulo.
