The story of El Cuco comes from Spain in 1910. El Cuco is a wandering spirit who is looking for children to drink their blood. This of course scares the people around him because of his appearance.It started with a man named Francisco Ortega who suffered from tuberculosis. Then he wanted to cure it by asking for help from a shaman. The shaman suggested that drinking the childs blood was easy and using the fat as an ointment to apply on his chest.

Because he wanted to get well soon, he followed what the shaman said. He kidnapped a 17-year-old boy and took him in a cloth bag. After that he sliced ​​under his armpit to make it easier for him to drink the childs blood. After this incident came to light.

Ortega and the shaman were arrested and executed. After being sentenced to death, his spirit still roams carrying cloth bags and looking for young people to drink his blood.
