Mysterious. Sensual. Deadly. Throughout the Caribbean, she is known as "La Diablesse" (The Devil Woman). Wherever she appears, men are seduced by her charms. She lures them into a forest and then suddenly abandons them. Her victims go insane trying to find their way home, but there is no escape. Sometimes their naked corpses are discovered near streams or rivers, although nobody knows exactly how they die.
