1915, Julio Vicuña Cifuentes, Mitos y Supersticiones Recogidos de la Tradición Oral Chilena, page 9:En ella topó con un antiguo deudor suyo, muerto hacía mucho tiempo, el cual le molío las costillas con un bastón, en desquite de lo que le había importunado en vida. Cumplido su venganza, el Brujo pagó la deuda en brillantes y sonantes monedas de oro, que el vapulado acreedor se apresuró a guardar, sin hacer caso de las irónicas sonrisas de los circunstantes.- (please add an English translation of this quotation)
