Mystique Island
Unsolved Mysteries of Sri Lanka
Description:... Mystique Island. Unsolved Mysteries of Sri Lanka by Asiff Hussein is the only work dedicated to answering the many questions concerning the unsolved mysteries of our island. We have hoary old stories handed down from our ancestors including among others, cannibalistic women who fed on human flesh known as Rakshasis, a lost race of dwarfs known as Nittaewo, a demon known as Bahirawaya who demanded the sacrifice of a virgin, strange sacrificial stones dotting our countryside, wild girls living on the fringes of the Sinharaja forest, a loadstone mountain off our shores that scuttled ships, an inexplicable sickness brought about by a comet in 1615, the horrors perpetrated by a Dutch governor which lived after him with the disembodied voices of his victims haunting the vicinity of his house and the very mysterious death of Charles Henry De Soysa. All this and more is dealt with in this pioneering work. A must read for all lovers of mystery.
