Some native girl refused to give Pishtaco her fish taco. So he decided to turn her into fried chicharron.
Beautiful story

I remember there was an episode of Supernatural on these guys. They were running a weight loss clinic, and Dean would *not* stop calling them "Fish Tacos" lmao

I originally read this as pistachio and was let down that my dyslexia teased me with delicious nuts

The Pishtaco could make a killing at fat loss clinics.

"Sell them as Fried chicharron" wow...that's actually really disturbing and that's coming from a guy who enjoys Fried chicharron, talk about being a cannibal.

Idk if it was a supernatural reference but that "no not fish taco" had me dead lol

[MasqueradeMassacre]

I like how you can identify them as being White Man, I think Hollywood found a new villain they can use

Remember this one from Supernatural, she was running a “weight loss” spa.

I remember this being oin supernatural. It was a very cool episode, and honestly, I kinda wish that there was a creature working on helping people to remove their fat, like in the episode with no pain and no too much or expensive procedures or them having to go on a diet and of course without killing people because the ones who watched Supernatural like me knows how it ended

[ChasoGod]

Modern day the Pishtaco work at special resort spas where guests are surprised by the amount of weight they lost next time they weigh themselves. As long as they don't kill their food source and get more business they'll never go hungry.

... New conspiracy theory unlocked?

[NijiKonohana]

Tbh though, this sounds like the perfect monster to scare kids into eating their vegetables and exercising 😂

YEEES!!! Finally. After watching so many of your videos, I thought I would never see a peruvian folclore one. Thanks Mythology Guy and greetings from Perú.

I believe an episode of X files featured a man with these sort of abilities.

The second image looks like a Bloodborne hunter

I was screaming internally during the entire time once you got to what they actually do.

My grandmother lived in the house of a pishtaco, she said that on the roof of the house there were iron hooks where the pishtaco hung his victims, fat people, and put candles on the floor to make the fat fall into containers and then sell it. .
The detail varies depending on the time, sometimes it was for forging bells and other times for engine parts, a pishtaco has two variants, the mythological one where it is a supernatural entity and the "realistic" one more similar to a serial killer who traffics in human organs and fat. .
In the jungle of Peru, people say that "the pishtaco takes out his victim's eyes so that he cannot see his face, cuts his tongue so that he does not give him away, and eats his heart if it is a brave person to win." his bravery..."
