the biembienes

The Biembiens only language is grunt-like sounds. They are mean, nasty and very unfriendly beings. They do not wear clothes to cover their naked short, deformed and ugly bodies. These creepy creatures are very agile climbers of both trees and mountains. They travel and attack alone or in groups. They remain in hiding during the daylight hours and crawl out when the light dwindles. They emerge from their hiding places to search for food. Like the Ciguapa they also leave backward tracks to protect themselves from being discovered. They do eat humans, mainly the entrails and also use humans as sacrifices.

The witch

This is a legend  that can be found in many countries but our version is different. The witches are old women , when the witches die they become a bird .When they fly across a house the yell  with loud squawking sounds . When the witches rest they do so under the branches of a platano tree .

The ciguapa

The ciguapas are beautiful creatures with brown skin, really long black hair and black eyes . Ciguapas are known for having their feet upside down! The ciguapa is very mischievous. She likes to steal raw meat and butter from peoples homes. Some people consider them as a magic being beautiful in appearance and to some other people they are horrendous. The ciguapa is also known for braiding horses tails in the middle of the night . The ciguapas name comes from the national bird of the Dominican Republic ( cigua palmera) which is a taino word.
