- One Summer evening about 100 years ago a man who lived near Quilca lake. He was standing at the haft door of his house looking out at the lake shining in the sunset.
After a while he saw a boat full of women coming silently across the lake. They were crying and when the boat came to the shore it disappeared.
After a while he went home and in about a week he died.
The people said that it was coming for him.- Collector
