WE'RE CELEBRATING HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH--WHERE I'LL TELL YOU THE SCARIEST STORIES FROM THE SPANISH-SPEAKING WORLD!

Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore a creepy superstition that spans most--if not all--of the Spanish-speaking world: El Mal de Ojo, or The Evil Eye.

As we continue our celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, let’s consider these questions: Is it possible to cause harm, illness—or even death—simply by looking at another person? And are the strange occurrences that have been attributed to El Mal de Ojo coincide or something truly evil?

Join me in The Red Treehouse to find out!
