Robert, when i lived in Florida i used to hear all kinds of stories from Haitians about mystical things that were going on in the Haitian community.

Being the sensible person that I am, there are things i heard i just kept them to myself because if you go around telling people about such things specially people who aren't Haitians they would think you're crazy.

In fact, that's one the reasons why my dad left Florida years ago. He said he didn't want to mingle with Haitians and he has consistently told me not associate myself with Haitians.

He would always say "pitit mwen Haitian ou wè la yo tout bète".

Certainly there's good and bad people in all societies.

But that's one of the reasons why a lot of Haitians will not live where there's a Haitian population.

In general when i meet somebody i give them the benefit of the doubt but I'm also very cautious.

I believe in education, science and intellectualism but i also believe there's more to voodoo than what meets the eye. My belief is we shouldn't be too naive to think that these things are urban legends or folklore.
