About this listen

In 2023, something began hunting people in the remote Amazon village of San Antonio de Pintuyacu. Witnesses described seven-foot beings in black armor with glowing yellow eyes, hovering on disc-shaped platforms, hunting for human faces.

Fifteen-year-old Talia barely escaped when two tried to peel the skin from her face with a laser device. She heard them speaking Spanish and English, planning their procedure.

For 500 years, the Ikitu people have told stories of the Pishtaco - pale-skinned beings who steal human fat and faces. Now the legend had returned with advanced technology.

Authorities blamed illegal miners with jetpacks. But the evidence suggests something far more sinister - advanced military technology entwined with a shadowy international trade in human lives.
