The Face Peelers of Peru: ALIENS, Black ...

Byte & Pieces
About this episode
It starts with a sound—a low hum in the jungle that isn't an animal. Then you see the yellow eyes. For centuries, the people of the Peruvian Amazon have whispered tales of the Pishtaco, a monster that stalks the night to harvest human fat. But in 2023, the legend violently ripped its way into reality.

They call them Los Pelicaras. The Face Peelers. Eyewitnesses describe seven-foot-tall beings in impenetrable black armor, hovering silently through the trees, terrorizing villagers in a series of terrifying attacks. The official story? A laughable cover-up involving illegal gold miners with jetpacks. We’re calling BS.

In this episode, we descend into the heart of the Iquitos Peru attack mystery. We'll analyze the chilling, firsthand accounts and ask the questions the mainstream media is too afraid to touch. Are these "Face Peelers" a modern incarnation of the ancient Pishtaco legend, or something far more sinister? Could this be a ruthless organ harvesting ring using advanced tech as a smokescreen? Or is the truth even stranger: a black-ops U.S. military operation field-testing next-generation stealth technology on unsuspecting civilians?

This isn't just a campfire story; it's a terrifying unsolved mystery unfolding in real-time. We're separating fact from folklore and conspiracy from cover-up to find out what is truly hunting humans in the Amazon.

You be the judge. Hit play and join the investigation. When you’re done, find us on social media and tell us YOUR theory. What's really happening in the jungle? Just be sure to check your locks first.
