Jamaican Popular Belief In Ghosts is a book written by Joseph J. Williams that explores the cultural beliefs and practices surrounding ghosts in Jamaica. The book delves into the history of Jamaican folklore and the ways in which these beliefs have evolved over time. Williams examines the different types of ghosts that are believed to exist in Jamaican culture, including duppies, jumbies, and rolling calves. He also explores the rituals and practices that are used to ward off or communicate with these spirits, such as the use of charms and the practice of obeah. Throughout the book, Williams draws on personal anecdotes and interviews with Jamaican locals to provide a rich and detailed account of the island's ghostly traditions. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in Caribbean folklore, supernatural beliefs, or cultural anthropology.THIS 38 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Psychic Phenomena of Jamaica, by Joseph J.
