La Diablesse
Translated as ‘female devil’ from French, La Diablesse is a Caribbean Folklore Character who was born human but her dealings with the devil have made her a malicious shape-shifting spirit.
To others, her poise, figure and dress make her seem beautiful. However, her hideous face is hidden by a large brimmed hat and her long dress hides the fact that one leg ends in a cow hoof- also she walks with one foot on the road and her cow's hoof in the grass at the side of the road.
She can cast spells on her unsuspecting male victims whom she leads into the forest with promises of sexual favours. When in the forest, she disappears and the man, confused, lost and scared, runs around the forest until he falls into a ravine or river and dies. [1]

When in the forest, she disappears and the man, confused, lost and scared, runs around the forest until he falls into a ravine or river and dies. Later the women go and hunt down la Diablesse and still end up being dead. Then a couple hours later the old people suspect something and decides to locate them. As they are on their way they hear spooky sounds. They looked around and saw la Diablesse"s mother. They all shrieked and ran but ended up in a river.
