Description
The trees occupy a small area, there are places where they do not exist, there are swamps covered with a small amount of grass and strewn with windbreak . Water in such places is blue-black. Alligators are found in the swamps of Manchak. Manchak swamps were tried to drain and cut down all the trees growing there, but businessmen did not succeed in carrying out this business to the end. The settlements where the workers who were engaged in draining the marshes lived were destroyed to the ground by a powerful hurricane that not only destroyed the buildings, but also caused human casualties.

Legends and myths
According to legend, in 1915 Manchak swamps cursed a follower of the Voodoo cult. In the 20th century, the cruel queen, possessing black magical power, who cursed this terrible place forever, was held captive in the territory of the swamps. Soon, after a terrible curse, a powerful gale-force wind fell on this territory, which destroyed several small-sized villages. After the storm, they were not rebuilt again. From time to time, the bodies of people who died many decades ago rise to the surface from the swamp bottom. It is also believed that werewolves live on the shores of Manchak swamps.
