"Enormous dancers were stomping around in a circle. They were gigantic, and had heads with two faces. They were dancing rythmically in a circle with great energy. Their heads had 12 points of hair firmly pointing upward. Their eyes were brilliant and their ears were huge. Their dancing was like a whirlwind, although their feet appeared to be backward and never touched the ground. After dancing energetically in a circle, they suddenly disappeared into the corn.
The legend states that the man was in awe and created a costume in honor of the dancers that had come up out out of the bowels of mother earth to celebrate the harvest. At the time of the next festival he dressed in the new costume that he had designed to honor the unusual visitors. That same day the man disappeared, never to be seen again. Some say he was take by the Aya Huma who granted him immortality.
Today people say that Aya Huma is a mountain spirit that comes down to the people to join in with their dancing at the time of the harvest celebration. When the dancers move in a circle, stomping their feet, they are asking mother earth to join the celebration." - Source
