the mystery woman

Narrator2- There is a story that is told from long ago about this woman that ate babies. She has a special ability where she can smell babies, so she goes where they are. When she gets to her destination, she would have different traditions to trick the mothers to get closer to their babies. Once the mother leaves the baby to her care, La Tapayuca would eat the baby and then leave the house normally. She would say that the baby was sleeping before she left because then they would suspect.1
