ok ms. D.. i is jamaican. the red undergarment i know of, but there was a twist where a mother-in-law to her deceaze son told daughter in law to put a red undy in the casket or coffin, and she did it.. the reverse happen, the duppy sleep with her everynite and tek a set on her to the point he come to work with her, even when she had to move got followed and when the movers set up the bed for her, then the duppy go lay down on it and mek movers them see him and how he vex up pon them, and would not allow them to finish move in the rest of furniture they run for their lives when she had asked why they now refuse to move anything else. They told her and described him. New husband had to run when throwing salt under the bed didnt work out cus he was in the bed with them

Oh wow! This is frightening. I've never heard of anyone putting the underwear casket. That's crazy! Poor movers must have been shocked out of their wits.

To follow up with another ritual...A a funeral if there are young babies and children. they would pass or throw them over the dead while some cat h them on the other so the duppy dont come back to play with them.

I want to know about this, 2 black birds flew together at once, perched on the window sill looked in on me and quack ka ka and flew off in the distance till i couldnt see them anymore...then a few weeks lata a 3rd one did the same thing exactly flew in same direction and the same as the other 2 did..I was thinking its john crows till some one told me john crows is not in canada ...What do you think?

[@DorraineReid]

I'm not certain. When growing up, black birds were sometimes associated with duppy. So my grandparents were never pleased when we tried to shoot birds.

So i saw A video of the rice water ting with some chinese person had ACNE. Claims it dry it up and clear up the face.. So that could be why they use rice water. I remember thinking if that was a good thing cuz i now its s duppy ting
