“Mexican Monsters & Forbidden Folklore – Robert Bitto of Mexico Unexplained”
(Alt: “Sisimite to La Llorona: Cryptids, Witches & Legends of Mexico”)
🧛♂️ Show Description:
Tonight at 9 PM Eastern, one of my absolute favorite guests returns: Robert Bitto, the creator of Mexico Unexplained and author of Mexican Monsters. Robert is a powerhouse of knowledge on cryptids, folklore, and ancient high strangeness from south of the border. He brings deep cultural insight, historical understanding, and storytelling skill to topics that are as eerie as they are captivating.
From Sisimite and Cuatlacas (Mexico’s answer to Bigfoot), to Huay Chivo (a terrifying goat-man hybrid), to Tlanchana (a deadly aquatic mermaid), we’ll be exploring the dark underbelly of Mexico’s supernatural landscape. Expect discussion of Tlahuelpuchi, the blood-sucking witches; Aluxes and Chaneques, mischievous elf-like creatures; and of course, La Llorona, the infamous weeping woman who haunts riverbanks.
We’ll also dig into the cultural context, modern sightings, and why these tales persist in Mexican consciousness — and what they might really be.
