Salvadoran Legend:

El Cadejo

I think this legend is very interesting because people said that El Cadejo is represented by a dog which is big. It has weird gaze. People comment that there are two types of Cadejos white and  black. The white represents the good and the black represents the evil. Some people say that the black cadejo represents an evil spirit which appears to people who wander late at night, persecuting and hypnotizing its victims with its huge red eyes, similar to burning coals. According to the legend, if black cadejo hypnotizes you, it can steal your soul. On the other hand, white cadejo represents a spirit of light that protects all faithful believers, especially kids, from black cadejo. According to some villagers, black cadejo is usually scared away with the smoke of incense. El Cadejo is one of the most interesting legends that Salvadoran culture has, there are many others that can catch your attention.
