Have you ever wondered why the elders always warn: "Never sleep by the river at night"?
At seventeen, I thought it was just superstition... until I learned the hard way. ๐Ÿ˜จ

One evening, exhausted from a long day of fishing, I decided to rest by the riverbank.
It was supposed to be just a "small nap."

But when I woke up...
The stars were wrong.
The river was breathing.
And something something not human rose from the water, demanding a sacrifice.

I survived.
But not without paying a terrible price... and losing something I can never get back.

Have you ever experienced something strange near water?
Drop your story or thoughts below! ๐Ÿ‘‡ Let's discuss!

๐Ÿ”” Donโ€™t forget: Rivers give life... but they also take it.
Respect the riverโ€”or pay the price.

Rubbish. The only reason you shouldnโ€™t sleep by the river at night is to avoid mosquitoes.

True! Mosquitoes are deadly! ๐Ÿ˜„ But sometimes, whatโ€™s lurking in the water might be worse than mosquitoes... Watch and judge for yourself ๐Ÿ˜‰

The Most beautiful woman i ever saw was from the water.

Sleeping around river banks at night is for the strong hearted or spiritual persons. Carnal man may sleep and feel/see nothing, not knowing a transaction has taken place.

๐Ÿ”ฅ You understand the deep things!

It's true.. not every encounter shows itself immediately. Some โ€œtransactionsโ€ happen in the unseen, and the price is paid later.

Respect to you for catching that wisdom. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ
Many people think river is just water but the old and spiritual people knew better...

Silence, superstitious African. All those stories were formed out of ignorance. When electricity became a thing, humans became enlightened. Notice that areas without constant electricity are crime hotbeds. Install CCTVs with constant supervision and watch crime relocate to dark, unsupervised areas. Why havenโ€™t CCTVs caught the existence of the supernatural in over a century of cameras? It is because they do not exist.

You make a very strong point, and I agree with you to an extent. Modern technology has definitely exposed many things that were once considered mysterious.

However, even with electricity and surveillance, there are still some things rare and strange that remain unexplained. Life seems to always leave a little space for mystery.

By the way, what type of stories do you personally enjoy? Horror, survival, history, legends, gods, moral lesson, mystery?

Maybe you might find a few on my channel that match your taste. Would be great to hear what you like!
