La Mala Hora's
La Mala Hora is said to be an evil spirit or an evil demon who wanders lonely streets after midnight and terrorizes those who travel alone. It usually lurks in the darkness at crossroads, waiting for vigilant tourists to cross the road. According to some, he was more feared than the demons.
It first appears in a large black round shape, constantly moving and changing shape. He can also change size quickly, growing bigger and smaller. They said it looked like a phantom black shroud or a large black cotton ball.
Anyone unfortunate enough to set an eye on this demon would be at risk of going crazy. He will try to hypnotize and paralyze people who happen to meet at night. When it attacked, it suddenly rushed towards them shocked and suffocated. The next day, the poor man found dead by the roadside.
Other times, she turns into an evil woman. He appeared wearing black clothes, his hair was long and messy. He was like a spirit or floating with the wind without touching the ground with his feet. People in New Mexico say that she rarely appears in human form, but when she appears in human form, it is considered a harbinger of death. If you find him at a crossroads, it usually means that you or someone you know is going to die.
When sought for more detailed information about this demon, people from New Mexico would refuse to talk about it and simply answer, "Es cosa mala!" ( "It's a bad thing!")
