Listen Later

Step into the sacred shadowlands of Jamaican folklore — where ancestral memory hides behind every ghost story, every duppy tale, every whispered warning about the Rolling Calf, Ol’ Higue, or River Mumma. “CARIBBEAN HISTORY: Dive Into Jamaican Folklore — Would You Take the Risk?” is a cinematic, chaptered audiobook documentary that explores the real history and spiritual origins behind Jamaica’s most feared and beloved supernatural beings. From West African cosmology and Taino reverence for water spirits, to the impact of European colonization and Christian demonization, each chapter unpacks the true meaning behind these tales — not as superstition, but as cultural resistance, oral tradition, and identity preservation. Told through investigative storytelling, fact-based narration, and deep cultural immersion, this documentary goes beyond the campfire into the soul of the island. You’ll never hear a duppy story the same way again.
