El Silbon (The Whistler) is a Venezuelan urban legend that originated in the 19th century. According to the legend, the ghost of a boy roams in the jungles of Venezuela and kills people who come to the deep forest. People who claim to see him said that he wore a big hat and he is very tall and skinny with a deformed face and carries a bag and it is said that the bag contains the bones of the people who became his victim. That spirit got its name as El Silbon (The Whistler) because it said that the ghost of this spirit whistles while he roams around the jungle and if somebody hears the sound of his whistle coming from nearby it means that the ghost is far away from that person and he has time to escape but if the whistling sound is heard from far away then it means that the ghost is near that person.
