In the folklore from the Republic of Senegal in western Africa in the Pap Mountain region comes the dark eyed, fair skinned, silver hair jinn known as the bachna rachna ("the Good People"). Standing two to three-foot tall these good-natured jinn were known to dance and feast on moon-lit nights, inviting humans to freely join them. According to the Jaloff people of Goree Island if the bachna rachna were low on the supplies they needed to make their feast they would steal what they needed.
