In these countries, Santa Marta is associated with the management and control of snakes In fact, there is a wide iconography, where Santa Marta appears dominating large snakes, and apparently she is very familiar with them. The other version that is handled regarding the origin of Santa Marta the dominant one, originates in the Afro-Caribbean basin of America, specifically in Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and Venezuela.

It is not surprising to find reports of appearances of entities in squares, parks, urban planning, and abandoned houses, associated with some action or event, generally tragic there the popular imagination comes to life, and narratives of stories begin to appear, some fantastic, others tragic, some comic, but with a common denominator: there is no historical certainty that what was narrated had a real existence. It is very common, even in urban areas of a life course that could be considered modern, to hear versions about the existence of beings and events, but without any objective cultural reference, which by oral tradition, has been given significant presence through weather.
