Very terrifying. Brian Heap sent me a note about something called one/long bubby Susan ... a quick search suggests it might be of Taino origin but also that it might be the source or related to the ole higue ... I had always assumed some of it came from the Scottish or Irish element ... for that reason I was okay with the European look ... but I tried to do some more African looking as well .:: I’m often in the minority but I like to explore possibilities from all angles as it relates to the cultural mix
June 25, 1892: An obeah woman known as Mother Austin dies at Llandewey in the parish of St David’s, and confesses on her deathbed that she was known in the spirit world as “Fire Rush”, and that she employed ‘Old Hige who gash fire in her eye that shine like lightning to kill 25 babies, 7 women and 13 men in the district.’

Wow!! The first time I heard this story it was from elsewhere in the Caribbean. She is quite terrifying. The AI versions are quite good but others look more European. I think the fact that she flies and n get into your house that way... Shudders!
