Gang Gang Sara was a famous witch in the folklore of Tobago island.
Story
The legend of Gang Gang Sara, the African witch of Golden Lane, has its origins in the latter half of the 18th century. On a stormy night she was blown from her home in Africa across the sea to Tobago and landed quite safely at the village of Les Coteaux. From there she journeyed to Golden Lane in search of her family who had long ago been transported there. She lived to a great age and is remembered for her wisdom and kindness. She became the loving wife of Tom, whom legend says she had known as a child in her native Africa. She lived to a great age and is remembered for her wisdom. After her Tom had died, wishing to return to her native land, she climbed a great silk cotton tree and tried to fly, not knowing that she had lost the art of flight as a result of having eaten too much salt. As a result, she died.
To this day the names of Tom and Sara can be seen inscribed upon the head stones of their graves on the top of a hillside in the village of Golden Lane. The Great Silk Cotton tree is still visible at the entrance of Culloden and was originally planted by African slaves.
