Malalhaialayxz Posted January 10, 2017 #51 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Quite an interesting being indeed. Curiously enough, in Venezuela there are legends of a similar being named "El Silbón", which is spanish for " The Whistler". He is said to be the ghost of a teenage boy who killed his dad and was cursed to roam the earth after death as a tall, lanky undead humanoid who carries his dad's bones in a bag. He earns his name because of his whistle, the nearer you hear it, the farthest he is. But if it sounds very far away, it means he is near, and you better get safe, or else he will kill you and add your bones to his collection. As you can see, both beings are somewhat similar, being tall, slender humanoids who whistle. But from what i've read, the stick people are already mythical in nature and benevolent, while El Silbón was once a man and is quite malevolent instead.

MWoo7 Posted January 10, 2017 #52 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) I find it curious and interesting that by some accounts(elders) if you trot down that ravine and around that big tree that THAT! little stick person/stick people is breathtakingly huge, thick like a walking BEEF ! and big black eyes penetrating down at you seemingly right into your thumping little heart.

It would be nice if that could be investigated with depth to hear some of the stories about it. I live on the yakama Indian reservation stick man it is a bad omen. He lives in the Forrest around the goat rocks wilderness on reservation lands. Many places that we're logged in that area the yakama natives refused to go. If you see one it is a death message. That you will die tragically soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Jones Posted August 12, 2018 #55 Share Posted August 12, 2018 The legends and myths of the native people's are dying. There have been many stories passed down through the years at family gatherings and powwows. If you are ever lucky enough to hear an elder speack such stories know that that is to be humble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
