Summary
 Ash Dykes and his fellow explorers are currently making waves on TikTok as they tackle the dangerous Congo Basin, facing territorial hippos, crocodiles, venomous snakes, and some of the most unforgiving wilderness on Earth. But as followers anxiously track their journey, locals have a different warning: beware of Mami Wata, a powerful African water spirit said to lure unsuspecting victims beneath the surface. We're uncovering the legend of this alluring but deadly spirit, from mysterious dam disturbances and underwater worlds to missing time, supernatural bargains, and encounters that leave people forever changed. Because in the Congo Basin, the most dangerous thing in the water might not be an animal. Watch the video version here. Have ghost stories of your own?
