El Futre

The El Futre legend has its beginnings in the Mendoza Province of Argentina in the early 20th century. The legend states that there was an elegantly dressed Englishman who was responsible for paying the workers constructing the Trasandino Railway. One night, whilst visiting the village of Las Cuevas to pay to the workers, he was set upon and killed by robbers, who cut his head off and stole the payment money.

Legend has it that since then, El Futre appears to those who travel through the mountains of Mendoza at night. Appearing as a headless horseman, it approaches travellers, holding it's hand out for the stolen money before mysteriously disappearing into the darkness of the night.
