The Hidalgo witch.

In Hidalgo, the people said that a long time ago the witches were woman who in the darkest
nights they took off their legs and left them in the fire to later turn into black guajolote.

It was said that witches could fly in the sky converted in a ball of fire, they were like lights turn on
an off they were looking for babies to suck the blood.

The people used crosses in babies' rooms, they also used mirrors next to babies to protect them
when the witches came to feed on them because it is believed that witches should stay away
when these customs are made.

Many years ago, she appeared in Singuilucan, a woman who looked like a normal person after a
time she got married.

One day, her husband heard rumors that she was a witch and that the food she gave her was
made with the blood of babies.

He could not believe what others were saying, so he decided to go on a trip to think and the next
day he returned to his house where he had dinner with his wife and went to sleep, then his wife
told him he would prepare a delicious meal for the next day , the tired did not give importance and
fell asleep.

He woke up at midnight and spied on his wife, He watched as his wife took off her legs and she
became a guajolote, he was very scared and he decided to throw his legs into the fire to burn
them, when the witch returns home.

She did not find her legs and she looked around there were many people, they caught her and
burned her in the fire, from that moment people told the legend of the noble witch.
