The Sihuanaba, La Siguanaba, Cigua or Cegua is a supernatural character from Central American folklore though it can also be heard in Mexico. It is a shapeshifting spirit that typically takes the form of an attractive, long haired woman seen from behind. She lures men away into danger before revealing her face to be that of a horse or, alternatively, a skull. The Siguanaba and its variants may have been brought to Latin America from Spain during the Colonial Period, used by the colonists as a means of exercising control over the indigenous and mestizo population.

  • La Sihuanaba, La Siguanaba, Cigua ou Cegua est un personnage surnaturel du folklore d'Amérique centrale. C'est un esprit qui change de forme, prenant généralement la forme d'une jolie femme aux cheveux longs, vue de dos. Cette femme attire les hommes dans des coins reculés avant de montrer son visage, souvent celui d'un cheval ou d'un crâne. Le Siguanaba et ses variantes pourraient avoir été importés en Amérique latine par les espagnols pendant la période coloniale, pour de contrôler la population autochtone et métisse en leur faisant peur.
