Sometimes, names are just that - names.
LA JUPIA Jupio or Hupio is an Indian word for dead men come to life. The Jupia is the feminine version of the same. She was a spirit or ghost of the air who only appeared in the night and in the form of a human. This spirit resembled a human in all ways with one exception, it did not have a navel. The jupia did not have a navel because it was not born of a woman.
Today this indigenous legend is still said to be seen by farmers and people who live away from civilization. Jupia is a ghost woman who visits, riding on a dark horse. Quietly. In the darkest night. Roaming through the open fields....
