From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Caleuche is a mythical ghost ship of the Chilote mythology and local folklore of the Chiloé Island, in Chile. It is one of the most important myths of the culture of Chile.

Legend
According to legend, the Caleuche is a large phantom ship sailing the seas around Chiloé at night; and it is a being who is conscious. It appears as a beautiful and bright sailing ship, always full of lights and with the sounds of a party onboard, but quickly disappears again, or hiding navigating underwater.

The myths claim it is crewed by the drowned, who are brought to the ship by three Chilote mythological figures, two sisters: the sirena chilota (a type of mermaid) and the Pincoya and their brother the Pincoy. Once aboard, the dead can resume an existence as if they were alive again. In the folklore of chiloé, also say that the evil Brujo Chilote (a type of sorcerer) likes to visit the party, which they can reach by summoning up magical caballo marino chilote (mythical creature similar to a water horse).

Working as a Manager for Uhaul, when I do get spare time I sit with my ouija board, do as many paranormal investigations as I can, and research everything and anything paranormal. I am also very interested in railroads and model trains in general.
