November 29, 2024 on Stories of the Supernatural: On the Trail of the Head Hunters

OCALA, Fla. - Nov. 28, 2024 - PRLog -- During the early 20th century, travelogues of life in the darkest jungles of the Amazon were written by Lewis Cotlow and Robert Ripley of Ripley's Believe it or Not fame. In the early 1900s, shrunken heads known as tsantas were acquired at U.S. museums. Despite being macabre they fascinated the public.

In 1940, Gustav Struve a native of Ecuador of German descent, made the rounds of the speaking circuit with a presentation titled My Four Years with the Head Hunters of the Amazon. His story placed him as the only survivor of an "ill-fated botanical expedition". It seems he was spared, and married the chief's daughter. During his years among the headhunting tribe he learned the "secret process of shrinking human heads and even entire bodies." He finally made an escape with their child.

If you enjoy dark stories and cases involving the occult, cryptids, hauntings, ghosts, demonic possessions and serial killers, then these this story/interview will surely mystify you.
