La Bolefuego (or La Candileja) is a legendary character from Colombian and Venezuelan folklore. It is said to be a bright apparition, found in the dark nights of Los Llanos. It is described as a flashing lantern that turns and shakes violently.[1]
The legend
[edit]The Bolefuego is said to be the spirit of a woman that was burned alive in her home, along with her two children. She attacks travelers. Those facing her are advised not to pray; unlike other evil entities, the Bolefuego is attracted by prayers.
