La Luz Mala

La Luz Mala, which translates to "The Evil Light" in English, is a Spanish term used to describe a phenomenon often reported in rural areas of Latin America, particularly in countries like Mexico, Argentina, and Chile. The term refers to a mysterious, eerie light that is said to appear at night, often in fields or near bodies of water. This light is typically described as floating or hovering just above the ground, and it is often associated with folklore and supernatural beliefs. In some regions, it is believed that encountering La Luz Mala can bring misfortune or even death. The phenomenon has been compared to other similar lights reported in various cultures, such as will-o'-the-wisps in European folklore. In Hebrew, the term can be translated as האור הרע, and in Portuguese, it is known as Fogo Fátuo or Luz Mala.
