Ralun's "Black Man"


Ralún is a spot located on the northern tip of Reloncavi estuary, a long and narrow arm of the Pacific that has a north to south course and is roughly 55 km (34 mi.) long and 2 km (1.2 mi.) wide. It is set south of the Osorno volcano, southwest of Mount Tronador, and is relatively close to Puerto Montt in Chile (see it on Google maps).


A blog post reported that a local woman, Margarita, who owned a restaurant there, mentioned that "one night, she and her husband saw a mysterious light flickering in the forest on a nearby mountainside. The light source wouldn't be strange if it wasn't for the fact that that spot was inaccessible and threfore completely uninhabited... on another occasion... she was startled when her dog was barking a lot and in a specific and worrying way. She went towards the door, cautiously, and when she opened it, her face turned white with terror. The dark and blurred otuline of a man was standing before her. "It was the 'black man', a ghost that ambles around the region helping people. It isn't an evil being" she said, dramatically."
