The James T. Callow Folklore Archive
LA SALAMANDRA
THE PEASANTS DEEPLY FEEL THAT IF A MAN IS EVIL, THAT SOMETIME
WHEN HE IS IN THE JUNGLE ALONE, HE WILL DELVE AND SEE A BEAUTIFUL
WOMAN WEARING A WHITE DRESS WITH BLACK HAIR AND FIERY EYES.
SHE IS THE REPRESENTATION OF DEATH AND WHEN THEY MEET IT MEANS
THAT HE IS DESTINED TO DIE SOON.
Submitter comment: MR. MARCHETT WAS TOLD THIS IN LATIN AMERICA.
