ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Huecuva

Okay kiddo, so have you ever heard of a ghost? A huecuva is kind of like a ghost but it's a special kind that comes from an old legend.

You know how when you have clothes that don't fit you anymore, you give them away or sell them? Well, in the old days, people used to bury their old clothes instead. The reason for this was because they believed that if someone bad found their old clothes, they could use them to do bad things to the person who used to wear them.

Now, if someone did find those buried clothes and tried to use them for bad things, a huecuva could form. It's basically the spirit of the old clothes come to life! It's like a ghost that looks like a scary, hairy monster made out of rags and clothes.

But don't worry too much, because huecuvas are only a legend and they aren't real. So keep wearing your favorite clothes all you want, and don't be scared of any ghosts!
