La Mano Peluda I Viernes 30 de Enero 2026

·1 hr 33 min·7 clips

A man's devotion to the Holy Death leads to a midnight attack by a shadow entity whose hands are severed by Death itself.

1. La Mano Peluda, a Mexican paranormal call-in show on Radio Fórmula, airs its Friday, January 30, 2026 episode with the main theme of El Silbón—a supernatural presence that manifests through inverted sound logic. 2. Hosts Gina Avilés and Nacho Muñoz present; all content comes from listener audio messages and live calls; no outside guests are featured. 3. The episode's framing thesis is El Silbón: a figure from Venezuelan and Colombian legend whose whistle sounds far when the being is near, and near when it is far, making it impossible to gauge the true distance of approach. 4. An opening caller from Iscali describes hearing La Llorona's cry as a child—a prolonged three-part lament that made the neighborhood weep—and notes that the following day saw an earthquake that toppled the Angel of Independence monument. 5. The caller adds that the area's cows knelt during the earthquake and that she has suffered from insomnia ever since, attributing both to the terror of that night. 6. A caller from Puebla shares his grandfather's story of devotion to Santa Muerte: a large poster above his bed was accompanied by nightly appearances of a black, featureless silhouette in his room. 7. One dawn the silhouette sat beside the grandfather and raised its hands toward his throat without contact, inducing a suffocation sensation that made him unable to scream; the experience ended when he opened his eyes to find the Santa Muerte figure posed as if its scythe had just struck. 8. The grandfather noticed the figure's posture—leaning as if exhausted rather than upright—and an advisor told him Santa Muerte had actively intervened to protect him because of his devotion, instructing him to light candles in gratitude. 9. As the days passed, the tilted Santa Muerte figure slowly returned to its upright position, which the grandfather interpreted as confirmation of the protection event. 10. Leo from Mexico City, a TICS (information and communication technology) student, offers a lengthy explanation of how applications and social networks track user behavior and generate targeted advertising, framing it as a technological parallel to the 'parallels' previously discussed on the show. 11. Lucia, a regular night driver, describes seeing her own reflection smile at her in a shopping center bathroom mirror when her face was neutral; the image lasted less than one second. 12. Host Nacho responds that mirrors are understood in multiple traditions as portals to other dimensions where sensitive individuals may make contact with entities, and that the experience may reflect a suppressed emotional state. 13. Lidia from Mexico City, who says she has listened to La Mano Peluda for 25 years, calls to share an experience from age 18 in her grandparents' large historic house in Zacatlán, Puebla. 14. Lidia stayed overnight with her aunt, who claimed a ghost visited nightly; the aunt kept all lights, the television, and the radio on as precaution and warned Lidia repeatedly as midnight approached. 15. At exactly midnight, when church bells rang, Lidia heard footsteps in the adjacent room, the sounds of something sitting and lying on a bed, a knock on the shared wall, and then her bedroom door opening—followed by footsteps crossing to stand silently beside her bed. 16. Unable to remove the blanket from her face, Lidia lay immobile until the presence left, closed the door, and continued down the hall; her aunt slept through the entire episode. 17. Lidia reveals the family suspected buried money in the property—coins had been found—and that the eventual buyer who acquired the house after the grandfather's illness reportedly found treasure but immediately contracted a long, painful illness and disappeared from public life. 18. Host Nacho explains photographs of deceased persons as 'emotional and energetic anchors' that can create imbalance in a home with young children, and recommends removing images that prevent grief processing—citing tanatología (grief counseling) as a professional source for this guidance. 19. The episode's tone is warm and participatory; long-term listeners are greeted by name and Lidia is celebrated for her 25 years of audience loyalty; hosts describe the show's community as 'family.' 20. Listeners who enjoy atmospheric, caller-driven paranormal radio with folk-Catholic framing will find multiple substantial first-person accounts; listeners seeking skeptical analysis or historical documentation of legends will not.
