JAMAICA Yallas Pond

<

 
I recently went to St.Thomas and on my way to Morant Bay, I came up on this body of foal-smelling large brown water.
It looked to me like the sea and the pond were one. The water had a sulfuric smell and all the plants nearby were dead.

The most interesting thing about the Yallas pond. Is. The

 water is different from any other water. Sometimes it has three

 colors sometimes at the same time. If you look  you will see

 it has a brown color and if you look further up it has a purple

 color. By evening it is red like blood. Something is really

 strange  about  this water. It is believed  it  is because two

 brothers who kill off each because of  it.

It. Is believe it was God  who sent a sign for  people to see his displeasure.

There are many versions of the said story but the fact is it surrounds a vast piece of land that was left by a father for 2 sons to share since he made no will. Here is one version told by an old citizen of the area in his dialect.
 

There was a man who had two sons di man was very rich and one day he go  dactor and di dactor tell him dat him was very sick. Anyway, two twos di man tek sick and dead. Yes sah. Him never leave nuh will so when him dead  him di two sons start argue over di piece of land.

 Dem say dat when dat happen one loud rumble start come from outa di sky and di earth start shake. When people look dem see water start come from outa di ground and by di next morning  it cover di whole a di land wha di two bredda dem was fighting over. Well, ever since dat day, we have a pond right  there so.
