INEXPLICATA - The Journal of Hispanic Ufology - March 6, 2005
A Mysterious Character Harasses Santa Fe Residents
Local residents say it jumps from house to house, is dressed in
black and has red eyes. After hundreds of complaints, police is
looking for it. Listen to the Sheriff's story on Radio 10.
Santa Fe is jumping. Residents of the southern area are
frightened by the appearance of a strange entity they've dubbed
"the rooftop madman" and who - according to their accounts -
leaps from roof to roof engaging in acrobatics.
Witness claim it stands two meters tall, is entirely clad in
black and wears a balaclava; it sports a cape and its eyes shine
red according to the information received by researchers. This
character is able to cross the streets by leaping from one
rooftop to the next, taking acrobatic leaps that can be of up to
five meters high and ten meters long.
"He looks like the cat man," say some locals. "His outline is
barely visible, his figure. He never showed his face, but they
say they've seen his eyes and that they have a reddish cast."
In an interview with Radio 10, Sheriff Gabriel Legstra
acknowledged that "there is a widespread psychosis. In recent
days we have received hundred of reports at our radio command
center."
"On Tuesday I dispatched 18 units to assuage people's fears. But
ultimately there is no other crime than tresspassing here. The
character goes from one roof to the next, appears inside a
house, has pressed his face against a window but hasn't attacked
anyone."
The psychosis is growing among residents of southern Santa Fe in
spite of having never been attacked. Police confirm that in
recent days calls have multiplied, reporting a man leaping from
one rooftop to the next "like a madman".
According to Diario La Capital, he first appeared in Barrio
Centenario, only meters from the Colon Stadium, but they say he
was seen closer to town, such as in El Arenal, San Lorenzo,
Chalet and Santa Rosa de Lima. This is the area most affected by
the 2003 floods.
In any event, despite the intense combing of the area by dozens
of officers, police were unable to find the character, but
advised the public to remain calm, since there are reports
within the force that some local residents directly tried to
shoot the entity to death.
Mystery grew when several witnesses said that "bullets won't do
anything to it. Its eyes gleam red when it it mocks those who
try to hunt it."
A resident of El Arenal claimed having fired 17 times against it
without bullets having the least effect, while the ghost did
nothing but provoke it, howl like a beast or cry like a child,
making dance steps on the rooftops over which it treads like a
cat.
"People are afraid of being attacked, beaten and robbed by this
man. They fear he will break into their property and are
defending themselves," say those in Regional Unit 1 who in turn
describe the locals as "expectant and armed with knives and
sticks."
Most locals describe a being that appears to have sprung froma
comic book: large in stature, who not only wanders the rooftops
but also crosses the streets in a single bound and can climb
smooth walls up to six meters high. "It's the Devil," say the
bolder or more imaginative ones.
Sheriff Legstra said that a woman told him that "the entity
pointed at her with its finger and left her paralyzed."
Another local woman said that last Monday, during an intense
rain, the phantom managed to jam the car doors of a vehicle with
7 passengers aboard, who were armed and ready to hunt it down in
spite of police warnings.
Others decided to stand guard 24 hours by the doors to their
homes, armed and vigilant. But it has not been possible to
capture it up to now.
Residents of the southern section interrutped traffic, claiming
greater lighting for the area, since may are afraid to leave
their homes alone.

Un misterioso personaje causa p�nico en Santa Fe
Dicen que salta de casa en casa, se viste de negro y que sus ojos son rojos.
Tras cientos de denuncias, la polic�a lo busca. Escuche el incre�ble relato
del comisario en Radio 10
En Santa Fe andan a los saltos. Los vecinos de la zona sur est�n
atemorizados por la aparici�n de un extra�o sujeto, al que llaman "el loco
de los techos" y que, cuentan, se la pasa de techo en techo practicando
saltos acrob�ticos.
Los testigos aseguran que mide dos metros, viste todo de negro, usa un
pasamonta�a, lleva una capa y que sus ojos lucen �rojos�. De acuerdo a la
informaci�n recabada por los investigadores, este hombre puede cruzar la
calle, saltando de techo a techo y da saltos acrob�ticos que pueden ser de
hasta cinco metros de altura y diez de largo.
�Parece el hombre gato� aventuran los pobladores. �Apenas se ve su contorno,
su figura. Nunca mostr� su cara, pero s� dicen que le vieron sus ojos y que
tienen un tono rojizo.�
En di�logo con Radio 10, el comisario mayor Gabriel Legstra reconoci� que
"hay una psicosis general. En los �ltimos d�as recibimos cientos de
denuncias en el comando radioel�ctrico".
"El marte mand� 18 m�viles para calmar la sensaci�n de miedo. Pero, en
definitiva no hay m�s delito que el de la violaci�n a la propiedad, el tipo
va de techo en techo, aparece en el interior de una casa, ha posado su cara
en una ventana pero no ha atacado a nadie".
Psicosis generalizada
La psicosis crece entre los habitantes de la parte sur de la ciudad de Santa
Fe pese a que, seg�n dicen, hasta ahora nunca fueron atacados. La polic�a
confirma que en los �ltimos d�as se han multiplicado los llamados en los que
se denunciaban que hab�a un hombre por los techos �saltando como un loco�.
Seg�n publica el diario La Capital, primero apareci� en el barrio
Centenario, a metros de la cancha de Col�n, pero dicen que despu�s se lo vio
en sectores cercanos, como El Arenal, San Lorenzo, Chalet y Santa Rosa de
Lima. Esta la zona m�s afectada por la inundaci�n de 2003.
De todos modos, pese al intenso rastrillaje de la noche del jueves del que
participaron decenas de efectivos, la polic�a no pudo dar con �l pero
recomend� a la poblaci�n mantener la calma, ya que en la fuerza contaron que
hubo vecinos que directamente intentaron matarlo a tiros.
El misterio creci� cuando varios testigos contaron que "las balas no le
hacen nada. Sus ojos se le ponen rojos cuando se burla de quienes quieren
darle caza".
Un vecino de El Arenal, dijo que le dispar� 17 veces sin que las balas le
hicieran el menor da�o, mientras el fantasma no hac�a otra cosa que
provocarlo, aullar como animal o llorar como un ni�o, dando pasos de baile
sobre los techos en los que camina como si fuera un gato.
�La gente tiene temor de ser atacada, golpeada y robada por este hombre.
Temen que entre en su propiedad y se defiende� dicen en la Unidad Regional I
y a su vez describe que los vecinos �est�n expectantes con cuchillos y palos�.
La mayor�a de los vecinos habla de un ser -que parece salido de los c�mics-
de gran estatura, que no s�lo anda por los techos sino que tambi�n cruza las
calles de un solo salto y hasta trepa paredes lisas de seis metros de
altura. "Es el Diablo", se animan a afirmar los m�s atrevidos, o los m�s
imaginativos.
El comisario Legstra cont� que una mujer le "lleg� a decir que el individuo
le apunt� con el dedo y la dej� inmovilizada".
Otra vecina relat� que en la madrugada del lunes pasado, en momentos en que
llov�a intensamente, el fantasma logr� trabar las puertas de un auto con
siete personas adentro que estaban armadas esperando darle caza, pese a las
advertencias de la polic�a.
Varios decidieron montar guardia durante las 24 horas en las puertas de sus
casas, armados y vigilantes, pero hasta ahora no pudieron capturarlo.
Los vecinos del extremo sur interrumpieron el tr�nsito en reclamo de mayor
iluminaci�n de la zona, ya que muchos se resisten a dejar sus casas solas.
