Hello community, today I bring you a real urban legend from Venezuela, I live in Venezuela in the state of Bolivar and there is a very disturbing legend that I will talk about next:
It's said that during colonial times, this stone was utilized as a quarantine for those with leprosy so that they wouldn't contaminate the rest of the community.
Although the most well-known myth about the Piedra del Medio is an indigenous one that predates the arrival of the Spaniards and describes a giant seven-headed serpent that lives at the foot of the Stone and causes great whirlwinds that sink canoes and boats and even drag people walking along the riverbank by engulfing everything around it.
Three accidents were reported in the area of La Piedra between the turn of the century and the turn of the century. One was the sinking of a barge or river ferry carrying multiple automobiles, while the other two were cars that fell from the Angostura bridge and were pulled by the floods to this location.
The bodies of the deceased or the cars were never found, and the divers dispatched to help with the rescue said at the time that reaching the river's bottom near this stone was impossible.
Since colonial times, the animal is supposed to have guarded the Piedra del Medio and protected the capital of Bolvar state.
In addition, there is a legend that the Hydra's heads are scattered throughout the city, with the central head in the Piedra del Medio, the rest in the Laguna Los Francos in the Eighth Star, Laguna el Future in the Botanical Garden, the Metropolitan Cathedral, Isla Panadero, Isla el Degredo, and Casa San Isidro.
The Monster of the Orinoco is claimed to awaken from its profound slumber when the Stone of the Middle is totally submerged, which is thought to be impossible given the stone's approximate length of 350 meters and breadth of 100 meters.
Interesting don't you think? This story is very disturbing, what do you think; would you like more urban legends from around the world?
