La Coyota Teodora

This was a lady who knew how to do witchcraft. At night she got up and poured the spirit into a cup of water and became a coyota. and that's when she went to steal chickens. She stole a chicken every night, and during the day she fed it to her husband… only chickens. Well, they say that one day, the husband took care that she was eating chicken and followed in her footsteps.

He got up, followed her and saw everything she did: when she took the cup of water and approached the bottle, and then she poured the spirit into the cup and that coyota turned out.

Then the husband picked up the cup and poured the water over it. When she returned to the coyota, she did not find water and could not become a person again: she remained an animal.

So, in this town (Jocoro) they called her the coyota Teodora. Oh, and some old people from here used to say that he would enter the plants. She was a meek coyota and she cried with hunger. Those who knew her said to her: Are you hungry, Teodora?

Finally they say that the coyota Teodora went after some men who were going to the side of Honduras or Corinto, and drowned there by Monteca. They say that the coyota Teodora went to die there.
