Beqa Island Cursed Village Ruins
Beqa Island, situated south of Navua off Viti Levu, is world-renowned as the ancestral birthplace of Fijian firewalking (*vilavilairevo*). High in the island's forested volcanic interior lie the overgrown stone ruins of an abandoned pre-colonial village. Shrouded in dark sorcery folklore, the site is said to have been cursed by a vengeful shaman (*bete*), resulting in ghost sightings, phantom firelight, and a strict spiritual ban (*tabu*).
