The story
Almamula and the Sound of Chains
Tellings describe a woman changed into a mule-like being whose cries and chains announce danger. Details vary and can carry harsh moral judgement.
Context matters
Belief, history & interpretation
Almamula is folklore, not evidence about any real person. Retellings should avoid using the legend to shame victims or justify violence.
