An invisible being, like a fairy or wizard.
Some people say that these beings live in the ground,
around rocks, in large trees, or in large, vacant houses.
They bewitch people and make them crazy, or turn them
into animals. Conversely they also have the power to heal
people who have gone crazy due to curses or elves. The ill
person is taken to the house of the ingkantada where she
speaks to the person, but cannot be seen. Often the sick
person is instructed to look for a white chicken and let it
loose in the hills, or to gather certain medicinal leaves.
