The Rock at Pagua plays a significant role in indigenous Kalinago folklore. It’s said that the 60-foot rock houses a powerful spirit that, if seen by someone through a crack in the rock, will cause them to have a relative soon die. Another story surrounding the rock involves a white flower that is said to bloom only one day each year, and that rubbing the flower on the base of one’s palm and pointing the palm at a person will put said person under their control. There actually is a white flower that blooms near the rock on occasion, and if used in a tea, it produces psychedelic effects.
