La Ciguapa

SolenneGC22 — 2022-06-17 12:56:16 UTC

Hello!! I am a Ciguapa, I am characterized by being a Dominican mythical creature similar to an Indian woman and because I walk with my feet turned upside down. And this is what Dominicans believe about me:
They think that I go out at night among the mountains, that I have long hair and that I charm men and then kill them. But the truth is that I am completely harmless, extremely shy and I even get scared when I see people.

Las Brujas Pérez

SolenneGC22 — 2022-06-17 13:34:49 UTC

Hi!! We are the Pérez sisters.
We are mythical creatures of the Dominican people, there are some who say they have seen us and others even made a movie about one of our sisters who lives in Constanza. hahahahaha
This is what Dominicans believe about us:
"The appearances of witches are frequent, which can travel long distances on a flying broom and enjoy doing damage and scaring people." They say that our weakness is children hahahaha and that we even suck their blood through the navel hahahahaha and that we kill them. The truth is that Dominicans are very creative hahaha
They also say this "If the child is baptized, by sucking his finger, the witch will begin to vomit blood." In other words, they even have defense mechanisms for us "they also put grains of salt, mustard and sesame seeds on it. Their greatest fear is salt, since it salts their body and immobilizes their joints, making it more impactful because they have left their skin saved".

El Galipote

SolenneGC22 — 2022-06-17 13:52:04 UTC

The Dominicans couldn't find another name for me?

^{Hi, I'm the first man in the group!! Like my companions, I belong to the group of creatures that the Dominicans created.
And this is what Dominicans think I am:
"The sorcerers or healers have the ability to turn people into animals for their protection or for themselves to do their job better and that is why they create us. These by magic can escape when they are looking for them thanks to the ability of mimicry to assume different forms of animals being immune to the sharp edges of daggers, knives, machetes and bullets, as well as to the actions of prayers and shelters".
This story about me makes me laugh a lot since I don't have any important role, I'm just used to do jobs, I don't have a family, I can't have children, I just live a boring life. Dominicans are characterized because they like rum and beer a lot but they did not add this to my creation, I would have liked to at least know what rum tastes like and be happy like them.}

Bacá

SolenneGC22 — 2022-06-17 14:03:56 UTC

Hello Peopleee!!
If you think that the Dominican was being creative when he created you, it happened to me. hahahahaha
Here I leave my story for you to laugh a little:
"When a person begins to progress economically quickly and incomprehensibly, people then say that it is thanks to having a bacá. This is achieved in a pact with the devil, who will give him wealth and property, receiving pain as punishment. , illnesses, misfortunes and gradually losing his loved ones, relatives and close friends, culminating with himself".
And that same story has been repeating itself every year, I am the reason why Juan Ramón Gómez Díaz has an employee dies every year hahahahaha
According to Dominicans, in the homes of people who have one like me, chains sound at night. hahaha

El Agua de Mayo

SolenneGC22 — 2022-06-17 14:24:03 UTC

I introduce myself, My name is water, but not just any Water, I am the Water of May.

The Dominicans not only created mystical creatures, they also added power to the first rain of May and that's me.
This is what Dominicans think of me:
"The first water of May is considered magical. When it is falling, people pick it up with their hands and wipe it over their faces as spoils to purify themselves, with the hope in some that it will eliminate wrinkles and rejuvenate them. will collect the May water in bottles, which will serve as protection and to solve health problems".
So now you know, wait for me in May to purify you hahahahaha GOODBYE!!

Las nimitas

SolenneGC22 — 2022-06-17 14:30:31 UTC

Hellooo!! Maybe by the name above you don't know me unless I know your grandfather who is reading this. hahaha
WE ARE THE CUCUYOS!!

We are the fireflies that you see mostly in the field, but Dominicans have another concept of us hahahaha This is what Dominicans think about us:

"People believe that the nimitas are the soul of the deceased who go out to take care of their beings and when they are in large numbers they believe that someone is going to die and they came to look for them."

Hi, I am a mirror, in the US they have a belief that if they break me I will bring them a lot of bad luck, so much so that they could last 7 years to be able to get married and while that time comes I will only bring them bad luck, or just a family member dies before the first year is up.

Vieja Belén

genesis1501sugelis — 2022-06-18 02:35:29 UTC

Hi, I'm old Belén, I'm a folk character, I distribute gifts, they remember me at Christmas and New Year's parties. In the Dominican Republic it does not always appear at Christmas parties, but when the children have not been given anything on December 24 (the Child Jesus) or on January 6 (the three Wise Men). That's why I always go after January 6, normally the following Sunday but this is not a fixed rule, I can arrive any day and surprisingly, more so if you behave well.
