EL COMEGENTE/ THE PEOPLE EATER
According to the Dominican Republic history at the end of the 18th century there existed an assassin whose crimes were so blood thirsty he was named the People Eater. He is said to look like an Indian with long black hair and small features. His body is well proportioned according to his size except his feet, which were very small.
For a long time the people were terrified of Comegente because his crimes were so atrocious and horrifying. The story is told that he went to Haiti to learn the ways of witchcraft. He could be in many places at one time. He was able to cross the entire country in a night by using supernatural means. It is said he killed his victims using some sort of club. He was not able to be caught once his feet touched water because when this occurred he immediately disappeared. He always left a putrid and nauseating scent in his wake.
It is said that finally the people decided to search for this assassin. He was finally trapped by a farmer who lived in the country using a rattan witch basket (bejuco de brujas). The farmer tied up the Comegente and took him to the capital where he was condemned to death and executed.
Today it is said that he still roams the country side with club in hand...
