I am writing this book so that you can learn about some of the legends and myths of Latin America.
I also want to say that I am using a translator to write. So if I'm wrong, forgive me.

Hello beautiful people, today I brought you a legend from Argentina. I hope you like it (◕ᴗ◕✿)
The Legend of Futre.
One of the most widespread versions dates back to the beginning of the 20th century, the time of the construction of the Trasandino Railway in the mountains of Mendoza, and speaks of an elegantly dressed English character (hence the locals called him futre) who was in charge of payments. of the personnel working on the site. According to reports, this man dressed in black with a top hat had settled for a few days near the current town of Las Cuevas to make payments to the workers, when in the middle of the night he was assaulted by criminals. The criminals killed him and then stole the payment money.
Legend has it that since then, at night, this character appears to those who travel through the mountains of Mendoza, approaches them, and asks them for their stolen money and then mysteriously disappears into the dark night.
The name Futre comes from the nickname of this character, surnamed Foster, currently buried in the Uspallata cemetery. This version has also circulated in the Potrerillos area and Foster himself would be buried in the cemetery of that town.
Another version, better known in the popular environment, speaks of a Chilean railway worker, hired with others to build the Trasandino Railway route, who after collecting his weekly salary went as usual to a bar (boliche) in the area to drink. some drinks. Upon leaving, totally drunk, and unable to reach the workshop's bedrooms, he lay down to sleep in the open field, leaving his neck on one of the rails that were being laid. Unfortunately, one of the service vehicles that occasionally circulated
through them passed by at that moment, completely severing his head. They claim that since then his ghost wanders at night through the hills carrying his own head in one hand, threatening death to anyone who crosses him, while others claim that it is a harmless specter that only cries out for a treat. Lately some witnesses claim to have seen Futre in the vicinity of Cerro Arco, very close to the city of Mendoza.
