Als ik een duppie kreeg voor elke keer dat ik online beledigd word door een ambachtelijke zeepmaakster, dan had ik slechts twee duppies, maar het is wel raar dat het al twee keer is gebeurd. Wat zit er in die zeep dat mensen er zo agressief van worden?

A piece of favourite folklore is that the Rollin’ Calf, one of the most frightening duppies in Jamaican folklore, can also appear in the form of a brindled cat. Something I remind my cat Millie of when she’s engaging in crimes against soft furnishings.

Old-time Jamaicans said that whenever you arrive home late at night, especially from a nine-night, you should enter your house backwards to prevent any duppies you may have encountered from following you inside.

Before you spray on perfume or splash on aftershave, be warned. Some spirits are attracted to sweet smelling scents. This month’s post on my blog looks at the connections between duppies and fragrance.

Duppies ride the backs of donkeys at night, slipping through mangrove roots and graveyards. In some villages, children are warned not to whistle after dark or the duppy will follow their breath home. #WyrdWednesday
