#ligahoo

In the folklore of Trinidad and Tobago, the Lagahoo is a type of lycanthrope, which appears as a normal person by day, but transforms at night into a horrifying, headless man with a coffin chained to its neck.

The Lagahoo can change into the shape of many animals, including horses, pigs and goats. It can also change its size. The Lagahoo subsists on blood, and will often attack farm animals for sustenance. It can only be killed by being beaten with a blessed stick.

D Trini in me will always flex meh feet To d rhythm of a carnival beat Kaiso or Soca, it doh matter So long as they have Trini humour Steel pan and bottle are our own musical delights To ears and eyes that witness this sight Masqueraders in costumes and colours galore Jumping and prancing to their heart’s content This world stage is our greatest event

Trini folklore is reason to quiver When La Diablesse, Soucouyant, Douens and Liaghoos take over D La Diablesse will deliver you to madness and certain death D Soucouyant will suck you dry until you die D Douens will lure yuh chirren into d forest loosing dem forever D Ligahoo is a master at disguise, she will wreck havoc in yuh lives Thank God dem tings are only a myth But bear in mind for yuh next trip
