he used to be a forestry worker in Tamana but then one day he slipped broke his neck and died
he was found a few days after but his chainsaw was missing
some fellas went hunting a night and they heard a chainsaw so they wondering who cutting down tree this hour
the noise was nearby so they followed to see what going on and they stumbled upon this man covered in blood cutting down a tree so they ask 'aye what happen boy' the man stopped what he was doing and shouted 'gone from here' and charge
they start to run back then the chainsaw noise disappeared and when they look back they saw nobody
when they were driving out they heard the chainsaw getting louder and heard a loud bang then realized they had a flat
they did not stop to change the tire
they just kept on driving

the same night (friday night) we could not sleep because we drank alot of coke and we was playing WWF on n64
minutes to 1am my uncle went outside for a smoke so my brother and i followed him to get some air
way down in the back was garden land and had a river running across it
my brother walk out on the trace and look down in the back then call my uncle 'what is that big bright thing by the riverbank'
my uncle quickly out his cigarette like he knew what he was talking about
him and i walked out to where my brother was standing and say 'that is a soucouyant go inside now and wake up your aunty'
it was moving around through the bamboo patch then when my uncle told us to go inside it stopped in one spot like it saw us
my aunt and her husband(uncle) started cussing while getting salt, rice and garlic
my cousins woke up because of the noise that was taking place
my uncle put salt and garlic on every window and every doorway and tell everybody to do not make a line through it for the next 2-3 weeks
he also put a pot of rice by the front and back door
a few days after the neighbour in the back came over and was showing my uncle a huge black bite mark on his stomach then my uncle was telling him about the soucouyant he saw a few nights ago
they was saying it was that old witch who living across the riverbank
apparently she wasnt a nice person and did not speak to anyone in the area

"Lady in white" crossing the highway causes a police vehicle to crash near Claxton Bay on Monday night.
Two homicide officers, Uncutt News was reliably informed, were responding to the murder of a Homicide detective's son, and were involved in a road accident just before the Claxton Bay Flyover on Monday 13 February 2023.
The officers, Uncutt News was told, were on their way to 6th Company in Moruga, from the Special Evidentiary Recovery Unit (SERU) in Cumuto, to the scene where 21-year-old Damian Blackwell was shot dead.
Blackwell is the son of a WPC assigned to the Region 3 Homicide Bureau of Investigations in San Fernando. He was also an employee of the South West Regional Health Authority.
An eyewitness told Couva police that while proceeding behind the unmarked police vehicle, he observed the vehicle make a sudden right turn off the highway and into the median.
According to police, the driver of the unmarked police Hilux reported that while proceeding south along the highway just before the Claxton Bay Flyover, he observed "a Lady in white" crossing in front of the vehicle.
The driver attempted to avoid hitting the "Lady in white" which resulted in the police vehicle crashing.
The two injured homicide detectives were taken to the San Fernando General Hospital by EHS personnel where they are being treated.
Their Toyota Hilux was later towed to the Couva Police Station. Investigations are continuing into the incident.
Uncutt News Backup
"Lady in white" strikes again in the same area just before the Claxton Bay Flyover just before 2 am this morning.
Uncutt news understands that another motorist crashed their car off the highway when they attempted to avoid hitting a "Lady in white" who suddenly crossed in front of their vehicle.
On Monday night, two Homicide detectives, responding to a murder at 6th Company in Moruga were injured and taken to hospital after their vehicle crashed in the median of the highway after the driver of their vehicle spotted a "Lady in white" attempting to cross in front of the vehicle.
There have been multiple reports of similar sightings of the "Lady in white" resulting in road traffic accidents in this particular area of the Sir Solomon Hochoy Highway over the years

Maria & the Virgin Mary Statue
According to the legend, in the year 1909 the young woman, Maria, was the daughter of a Spanish overseer on the Forres Park Sugar Estate and she was in love with an Indian labourer working on the estate. Maria’s parents, especially her father, did not approve of the love affair. It is said that the father saw the two lovers together one night in a compromising affair, realized the relationship, became furious and decided to end it. After the young man left Maria’s home she was summoned by her father and given a sound licking with instructions that she should no longer be seen in his company. Maria was in love with the labourer and had no intention of ending the affair so she refused and said that she would rather die.
Enraged at what he had seen the night before, the father then summoned a few of his trusted workers and devised a plan to kill the labourer. He was a very influential man, and there were labourers on the estate who were prepared to do his bidding, even to the point of getting rid of Maria’s lover. One of the workers told Maria of the plan, and she was advised to tell him to leave the area immediately because his life was in danger. Maria then left her home in a rage and was on her way to her lover while on crossing the road, she was bitten by a snake but driven by love she continued running. Weakened however by the snake bite, she fell to her death from the hill next to the road.
Overcome by the loss of his only daughter, the father decided that he would erect the statue in memory of her. He placed it on the highest hill on the estate that he could see the Virgin Mary and continuously plead to her for forgiveness. It is said that the apparition, seen running across the highway at night, is Maria trying to reach her lover to warn him that his life is in danger.
The estate changed ownership several times over the years but the statue was not interfered with until it was desecrated by a mentally ill woman who claimed it was not responding to the questions she had asked it. In a fit of anger, the story goes, she climbed the pedestal on which it stands and decapitated the statue with a cutlass (machete).
Former workers at the Forres Park sugar estate testified to the decapitation and they also knew why the statue was erected by the overseer. It was for‚ Maria. Harry Seedas, a former worker on the Forres Park Sugar Estate (closed almost two decades ago), was the last person to testify about the accuracy of the event. Seedas died many years ago leaving behind the story of a legend that has captivated the minds of many for years.
The statue is visible from the Solomon Hochocy Highway both North and Southbound. When heading south, approaching the Claxton Bay turnoff the road curvs a bit the the right. As you look to your left you can see a cell-tower (this is the landmark to look out for), the statue in the image above can be seen in broad daylight. For passengers heading north it will be on the left hand side of your vehicle.
