Peru's Most Terrifying Mystery: The Face Peelers

Discover the evidence suggesting highly advanced, silent beings are surgically removing human faces in the Amazon, linking modern attacks to ancient legends and shadowy international operations.

Short Summary

  • Pinpoint the 2023 attacks in San Antonio de Pintuyacu involving seven-foot armored beings using laser technology.
  • Connect these events to the 500-year-old Pishtaco legend involving the harvesting of human fat/faces.
  • Identify major alternative explanations, including cartel activity, secret military testing (Resolute Sentinel 2023), and organized organ trafficking.
  • The official explanation blaming illegal miners using jetpacks fails to account for the silence, advanced tech, and specific surgical nature of the attacks.

This document explores chilling witness testimony from the afflicted Ikatu people, juxtaposed against historical events like Operation Prato and the suspicious timing of a major US military exercise in the region. Understanding these multifaceted theories is crucial for evaluating the true nature of disappearances in the Amazon basin.

Peru's Most Terrifying Mystery | The Face Peelers 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. #FacePeelers #AmazonMystery #Pishtaco 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 Executive Producers: Jennifer Gentile Gino Gentile AJ Gentile Patreon Members Editors: Ryan Fitzgerald Brandon Snyder Joe Stone Producers: Erik Anderson Haley Burke Jen Gentile Victoria Young Research: Hamilton Schutt Haley Burke AJ Gentile Gino Gentile Jen Gentile Victoria Young Written/Hosted by: AJ Gentile Hecklefish J.

You did fantastic on the Sean Ryan Show. As someone who has also struggled with depression and anxiety, the first hour of the interview was touching.

The dramatic chair slowly lowering is back…. It is a staple for the show.

Probably one of the most disturbing ones. Never underestimate human greed and cruelty.

My wife is from Peru and goes back every couple years to see family, including spring break of 2023. She says then that everyone was telling stories of bodies showing up without organs and faces and sometimes not even heads. She says that in many small villages everyone knows how much money everyone has, and yet out of no where people would start making serious income. There were stories of circular objects and refrigerator boxes being transported often. This is the only wf episode I was able to get her to watch in its entirety.

Itzhak Bentov was killed in a plane accident. He questioned the fabric of reality. CIA took all his files. Can you do an episode of this?

Human organ trafficking is probably one of the worst things a person can do, in my opinion.

Whenever I hear that aliens are supposedly doing evil things to humans, I always think they are not aliens but humans pretending to be aliens, in most cases.
