Chichirikús: In Afro-Cuban mythology, they are disturbing spirits or entities that are represented as small black beings, either hairy or bald, who have red eyes and usually spark sparks. They are also defined as idols or twin dolls that the ngangulero "loads" with his magical arts (sorcery). Generically, for all descendants of Africans in Cuba, the Chichirikús are endowed by the wizard with movement, will and intelligence. There are testimonies of his presence in the bell tower of the batey Mexico (guardians of it), the barrack of the batey Santa Gertrudis, the town of René Fraga and a dam that existed in the vicinity of the town of Banagüises.
