La Cegua

La Cegua, also known as Segua or Tzegua, is a feared spectral figure in Central American legends. She appears at night on lonely roads, often as a beautiful woman, luring men before transforming into a monstrous entity with a horse's head. Once a reckless young woman, she was cursed and became a vengeful spirit. La Cegua is known to attack lonely men, using her charm before revealing her terrifying true form. The only way to escape her is by throwing mustard seeds, which distract her as she collects them, allowing the victim to flee.
