Crew of the Caleuche

Detto anche: El Caleuche, Buque de Arte
Folklore e mitiNon mortoSaltellaStregoneriaDal 1500 al 1899

The Caleuche is the phantom ship of the Chiloé archipelago in southern Chile. Its crew is recruited from the drowned, who are revived to serve aboard for ever, in some tellings as contented sailors and in others as maimed and mindless slaves of the island's sorcerers. The twisted, hopping crewmen resemble the imbunche, another creature of Chilote witchcraft. It is South America's clearest folklore of the dead put back to work.1
