The Candileja is a ghost in Colombian folklore

Origin

The Candileja is said to be the spirit of a vicious old woman, who was in charge of her grandchildren but neglected to teach then any moral principles, so they grew up as murderers and thieves. In the afterlife she was damned to travel around the world surrounded by flames. The Candileja is related to the Will-o'-the-wisp phenomenon.
