Tusk Devil of Uruguay

When my Uncle Jose Causing visited Uruguay during his time with the Merchant Marines, he told us some interesting stories about his visit. He talked about the many killings that occurred during a 1973 coup in which leftists, socialists and political opponents were targeted. 1973 was a turbulent year compared to the present.  From what my uncle is telling me, this sounds like a country I would like to visit and to investigate at.  On another note, my wife Deanna Jaxine Stinson does tarot card readings on Facebook live and has a good following.  My friend Steve Patrick Carrington has a good following at Anomalous Universe, found here:  www.facebook.com/groups/AnomalousUniverse/ and I get some good tips at either Sacramento Paranormal Help where my wife is doing tarot card readings or at Anomalous Universe.  I recently communicated with a Rodrigo from Colonia del Sacramento.  I am not sure if he found me through Sacramento Paranormal Help or from Anomalous Universe.  Rodrigo has an interesting story to tell.  Rodrigo has lived here his whole life. Rodrigo is inspired by some of the American paranormal shows and is a ghost hunting enthusiast. Rodrigo tells me his biggest hero in the cryptid hunting field is no other than Josh Gates. Rodrigo says he would like to be like Josh Gates one day. Rodrigo’s parents who are strict Catholics do not like their son dabbling with ghost hunts and so therefore he does not want his last name published.

Rodrigo who is part Portuguese says that when the Portuguese settlers first arrived, there was much resistance by the indigenous people. The Charrua, Chana and Guarani tribes fiercely resisted the Portuguese settlers to no avail. The Portuguese ended their resistance and began a genocide of the Charrua tribe to set an example amongst other tribal colonies. Rodrigo says that there is a small group of people that know about the legend of the Tusk Devil of Uruguay. Rodrigo says that a resident named Julieta Fernandes was camping at Ipora Lake in Tacuarembo and her girlfriends around a campfire summoned the Tusk Devil of Uruguay. Julieta wanted revenge against her fiancée who cheated on her with her best friend. Julieta had her girlfriends say a little chant cursing her fiancée. Out of nowhere the Tusk Devil of Uruguay appeared. Julieta’s description of the Tusk Devil: Moves like a big ape with knuckles touching the ground, red fur, yellow sharp teeth, yellow tusks coming out of the side of its head, dark sunken black holes for eyes, pig snout, top of its head it has hair that goes straight up (like a Mohawk). Julieta feels they summoned the Tusk Devil. Julieta and her friends ran as fast as they can out of the woods and to their car. The girls could hear the growls of the Tusk Devil. Julieta says when she went back home, did her own researching and learned that the Tusk Devil was a creature that may have came to this reality from another reality and it may have been summoned by the Charrua tribe for protection against the Portuguese.
