Am I superstitious? Yes, I've always been.
My family is originally from Senegal and Brazil, two countries where black magic is practiced and where it is normal to believe in the paranormal and be superstitious.
When I was a child, my mother enjoyed telling me shocking anecdotes about the subject, I'll tell you one.
A girl who lived in a village one day met her beautiful and fell in love with her.
They went out in secret to meet and at first this thing made everything very exciting, what is forbidden always has its charm 😊
The days passed and their meetings were more frequent, so much so that the promised bride of the boy became suspicious and one day he decided to follow him to see where he always went all alone.
Arriving at the point of the meeting, she saw her promised spouse kissing passionately another woman and in anger she decided to take revenge.
I invite the girl to lunch in a friendly way so as not to make her suspicious, prepared her lunch, ate and after a while the girl went to her house to rest.
While she was sleeping, she began to feel sick, got out of bed to go to the bathroom and while she was walking she looked at herself for a moment in the mirror.
His body and his face looked like a chimpanzee, in the food he had eaten at lunch there was a potion that was turning it into a monkey.
Legend has it that the girl is still alive and now lives in the forest to hide her appearance from people's eyes.
Probably it is just suggestion, but I believe seriously in the power of black magic and these stories do nothing but increase in me the feeling of superstition.
I hope you enjoyed the legend of the monkey girl .... even if legend is not ....
But what do you think of superstition?
Thanks @missy and @rambo for this interesting question ❤
