- ARGENTINA: THE ROOFTOP MADMAN STILL AT LARGE
-
- ***Stories of apparitions will not cease in Barrio San
Lorenzo. Psychologists are working with local residents***
-
- Residents of Barrio San Lorenzo remain frightened and
agitated by the apparitions of the ghostly character dubbed "Rooftop
Madman" (Loco de los Techos). Given prevailing state of nervous tension,
two psychologists began working with the population through the health
assistance center located in the area.
-
- As part of the plan, periodic meetings have been held
with local residents. The next one is slated for this afternoon at 18:00
hours. Interested parties have been invited -- by means of handbills --
to seek individual interviews with the mental health professionals.
-
- Meanwhile, the ghostly characters' "visits"
continue taking place according to numerous stories that are heard daily
in the streets of San Lorenzo. This morning, a 60 year-old man told El
Litoral that he saw the "Madman" in a hallway in his own home,
while another woman from the 4000 block of Entre Rios St. claims having
seen the phantom on the top of an old pine tree. "My 11 year-old son
fainted," said the woman.

- Argentina - 'Lobizón' Terrorizes Women
In La Playosa

- 3-11-5
-
- *** Entity tries to get into homes, especially those
where it knows men are absent, in this small town in the Province of Cordoba
***
-
- Since January, residents of La Playosa, a small city
in Córdoba, are restless over the presence of a man who, like the
legendary Lobizón, attempts to break into homes while issuing powerful
howls. Several women have brought complaints to the local sheriff's office
and to the fire department, but until now it has been impossible to apprehend
the strange character who has the town up in arms.
-
- "Generally speaking, it attacks dwellings in which
no men are known to live, or happen to be away for various causes. It tries
to break in through back yards and alleyways, knowing that only women or
children happen to be present. Fortunately it has been unable to break
into homes because the doors were locked," explained Ana, one of the
women attacked by the Lobizón to the Cordoba newspaper La Mañana.
-
- This woman's eyewitness account coincides with others
who were able to see it through their windows. Ana adds: "It's a young
person, thin and tall, wiry and very agile. It's eyes are bloodshot and
is clad in black, I suppose with the intention of frightening the families
of the homes it's trying to break into."
-
- Investigators believe that the "lobizón"
of La Playosa would be a deranged young man trying to break into the homes
of some women he has studied previously and who, for some reason or another,
have caused him to develop an interest or attraction. In any event, the
town's peace has been disrupted and no one dares sleep with open windows,
or to leave their doors unlocked, as used to be their custom.
