    My father told a story from his childhood about visiting his grandparents in a small, quiet town in Peru's mountains. While there, he made friends with local children and played with them daily until 6pm, when children had to return home due to the local myth of the Pishtaco kidnapping people after dark. One day, my father and his friends lost track of time playing soccer and one boy was late returning home. That night, the boy's mother came asking if anyone had seen him, as he never came home. Despite a search, the boy was never seen again, and the village elders attributed his disappearance to the Pishtaco. From then on, no child was allowed out alone after 6pm

    Good evening teacher and classmates, today I will tell you a terrifying story that happened to my

    father more than 40 years ago when he was a child.

    My father's name, 40 years ago in the summer he went on vacation with his parents, my
    grandparents, to a town located in the mountains of Peru. This town is very cosy, quiet and
    beautiful.

    In this town he met several children his age and since he was cheerful, funny and very sociable
    since he was little, he made friends very quickly, with whom he played every day in the mornings
    and afternoons. But he only had permission until 6 pm, since after that time he must be home for
    fear of the dark and the myth of the Pishtaco.

    The pishtaco is a mythological character of the Andean tradition, whose occupation is to kidnap
    lonely people to slit their throats and take out their fat. This belief is still inculcated today, not only
    in this town, but in many parts of Peru.

    One day my father was playing soccer with his friends in an abandoned field of the town, nobody
    realized that it was too late, since they were very entertained. All of them, realizing nightfall,
    rushed home, my father came home and they punished him for being late.

    That same night, when they were resting, they knocked on the door very loudly. It was the mother
    of one of my father's friends, the desperate and crying lady asked if her son was there or if I have
    seen him, because he had not come home. My father told him that they all returned together but
    that at one point along the way his son separated to go buy bread and take him home. Everyone in
    the town helped to look for the child, but they did not, so the days and weeks passed and the child
    could never be seen again, the village elders said that Pishtaco had taken him away, it was not the
    first time that he disappeared someone like that.

    From there, no child could walk alone in the town after 6 in the afternoon or if there was a lot of
    fog.

    My father told me that at first, he did not believe in that story, but when his friend disappeared,
    he felt fear and no longer wanted to leave the house alone.
