JAMAICA Yallas Pond
I recently went to St.Thomas and on my way to Morant Bay I came up on this body of foal smelling large brown water.
It looked to me like the sea and and the pond were one.The water had a sulfuric smell and all the plants near by were dead.

The most interesting thing about the Yallas pond. Is. The
water is different from any other water. Sometime it has three colours some times at the same time. If you look you will see it has a brown colour and if you look
further up it has a purple colour. By evening it is red like blood. Something
is really strange about this
water.It is believed it is because two brothers who kill off each because of it.
It.
Is believe it was God who sent a sign for people to see his diapleasure.
