One of my students recounted this story to me about an interaction he had with a girl from the village of Tergit.
One night at eleven pm, he left the oasis to make a phone call. A young girl saw him and came closer to ask, "where are you coming from?" He answered, "the oasis." The young girl replied, "but aren't you scared of the jinns?" He told her he had not seen any.
It was only then that he understood why none of the villagers joined him in the oasis after sunset, when only the fire flies and stars lit up the night.
