Description

The tribes of the north of the Gulf of Guinea have a spirit of water in the form of a half-woman-half-fish or half-woman-half-snake. It can change its appearance, kidnap people, send pregnancy to women, as well as inhabit the bodies of young attractive girls and engage in sexual relations.
