A story is told that long ago there was a little village, built among the ruins of an ancient Roman city called Cherchell, near a mountain named Mount Chenoua, and at the foot of this mountain there was a well, and it was known as “the Mysterious Well”.
The story goes that, every time there was a full moon, a strange woman would emerge from this well and begin crying and howling all through the night, until the dawn.
