    About this ebook

    The Caribbean is known for its beaches, its people, and its food. The southernmost island of Trinidad is no different, but there is another side that most don't see. It's a side that only comes out in the dead of night. Join me as I describe some of the colorful folklore characters from my home land. Turn off the lights and visit with lost souls, and ruthless shape-shifters.

It wasn’t until a teacher realized I couldn’t make out what was written on the blackboard from the back of the classroom that anyone figured out something was wrong. What does that little, seemingly random, fact have to do
