In this small lagoon, located about 15 hours in a straight line from the capital of Guatemala, locals report that some kind of animal or, as some call it, "water spirit" (water spirit?) lives in the waters of the lagoon. 

One day, a local youth noticed a duck swimming towards the center of the lagoon, and killed the unfortunate bird with a slingshot. (The width of the lagoon at the moment is about 50 meters). He decided to swim to where the duck's body was floating, so that he could take it home with him and cook it. The others watched from the shore as the young man grabbed the duck by something or someone snatched it out from under the muddy water and dragged it down. 

Local residents waited for several days for the young man's body to surface, but it did not happen. But, according to eyewitnesses, six days later, the body of a young man was abruptly thrown out of the water, according to a man named Pedro, the body flew into the air about 4 meters, and then fell on the shore of the lagoon. 

When authorities arrived, including forensic personnel, it was determined that the young man had died only a few hours earlier (!), despite the fact that he had apparently been under water for six days. 

Later, some men tried to measure the depth of the lagoon in which the young man disappeared, and using a small canoe and a long rope (30 meters), stunned them, they had to tie two additional 30-meter ropes to the original, as they could not touch the bottom of the lagoon, at a depth of 90 meters they gave up. 

At the same time, the men noticed that from the shore of the lagoon, a strange creature was watching their actions, a bizarre creature was about 3 meters in height, hairy and canine in nature, it quickly jumped into the water and swam towards the men. in the canoes, which in a panic were able to quickly reach the shore and call the authorities.
