    • 1915, Julio Vicuña Cifuentes, Mitos y Supersticiones Recogidos de la Tradición Oral Chilena, page 203:
      Para hacer daño a una persona, se hecha un sapo dentro de su bacinica con orines, se tapa el tiesto y se entierra al pie de un árbol. Desde ese momento comienza a enflaquecer la persona a quien se ha hecho el daño y muere hética cuando el líquido ha concluído de evaporarse y el sapo se ha momificado.
