According to Mama-puma's blog , the Headless priest appeared in the popular neighborhood of San Roque, and was in fact nothing other than a regular priest, who having to sneak to his lovers' houses in the neighborhood would lift his cassock over his head so that people would be scared and run away, and wouldn't recognize him.
Según el blog Mama-puma, el sacerdote sin cabeza apareció en el barrio popular de San Roque, y no era otro que un sacerdote común que para escabullirse a las casas de sus amantes en el barrio levantaba su sotana por encima de su cabeza para que la gente se asustara y huyera, y no lo reconociera.
