They exist in Haiti. Thats how my great great great grandfather died.

Wait hold on someone explain this to me I’m so lost lol

The belief is Haiti is that certain women can live under water and will lived there for years… These women are extremely beautiful and men being men can’t stay away from a good looking women are seduce and then dragged under water and are never to be seen again… My great grandmother was one of these women… One day her mother sent her to go get water from the river and she never came back 10 years later they see her come up the road in all white with beautiful jewelry all around her body sing up a storm.. When her family asked her where she was she told them she was under water… thats the story my grandma always use to tell me growing up

Wow

Sounds like daughters of Yoruba goddess

I love African and African Diasporan mythology.

we call them “river mumma” in Jamaica

I NEED MORE MYTHOLOGY INVOLVING BLACK CULTURES IN THE DIASPORA.

We call the “mammi water” in Nigeria

All Caribbean people know mermaids are real
