An accident on the same area on the Pond Casse main road has once again left many people talking about that particular stretch of road.
The area called William has seen quite a few accidents over time: many did not make it to the media because they were relatively minor and motorists simply pulled their vehicles back on the road and went on their merry ways.
But some of these accidents have grabbed the national spotlight, such as the one in May 2011 that took the life of 12-year-old girl, Keyana Emmanuel, and left 11 injured.
Back in October 2004 an accident in the area also claimed the life of former United Workers Party candidate for the Pointe Michel/Soufriere Constituency, Dennis La Bassiere.
The latest took place on Saturday afternoon when a bus ran off the road.
And so travelers, mostly bus drivers, of the road have come up with theories as to the reason for the frequency of these accidents on that particular stretch of road.
Some of these travelers have told Dominica News Online that there is a ‘jumbie’ prowling the area and is the culprit behind the accidents.
And they say they have visual evidence to back up their claims.
According to these stories late night drivers in the area have seen a white lady hitch hiking along the road and would suddenly disappear into thin air when the vehicle gets closer.
The stories claim the lady is dressed in white and has flowing blond or grey hair.
The sight of the white lady on the road resonates very well with a bus driver who was held up on the way from Roseau.
The bus driver (DNO will not reveal the person’s name out of fear the person might be ridiculed) was driving to the east coast late one night and was stopped by a man. Although it was very late the bus driver, being of kind heart, gave the man the lift.
However luck was not on the bus driver’s side for as they were driving through the same stretch of road the man pulled out a knife and held it to the bus driver’s throat. Just then, according to the story told to DNO, the two saw the white lady on the side of the road flagging a ride.
Panic overcame the two and the ‘hold up’ was completely forgotten. The bus driver did not stop but drove at break neck speed to Shayan’s Shop roughly half a mile away. It was then they realized the bus driver had lost control of the bladder and front seat was completely covered with urine.
The story has taken hold so much that some people have sworn they will never drive through that area late at night.
Whether the story is true or not, many facts remain: motorists should always make sure their vehicles are in optimum working condition and drivers should always drive carefully on Dominica’s roads since reckless driving puts the lives of many people at risk.
i am just trying to find out exactly what a jumby man is my father bought two statues several years ago, with out knowing what they were or represented. i would appreciate it if someone could help me out with this.
Yes drivers have to be careful on the road but Why some people wanna act like they know everything…if the people saw a white lady on that road…they saw a white lady. Besides the article said that ‘People’ have seen the white lady on the raod..not one person. Geez!! Go and drive on the road late night nuh and come back and tell us if the jumbie there or not…but until then you Don’t know if there is or isn’t.
Bad driving is part of the reason the area is always wet and foggie.The way some of our drivers drive is totally insane I have seen buses loaded with people overtaking in almost blind corners.
drinking and driving is the jombee and poor judgement
This story brings back memory of my young days, this white lady appearance could also be seen in the “Deux Mamelle” area in Guadeloupe; Not surprise if some voodou person is up to some tricks.Nothing is impossible with people doing socelerie.
I don’t think it’s no Jumbie, I thinks because of the history of that road it creates a fear in drivers mind and cause them to drive differently in that area. Law of attraction states. What you think about you bring about. It’s only cause and effect.
The bus where the 12 year old girl was killed had bald… smooth… worn out tires. We were one of the first people on the scene. We actually called for help. No jumbie caused this…reckless driver..speeding on a wet road with smooth tires… slight bend in road… anybody want to say hydroplane?
The other accident with the UWP senator… we complained about the hole at that bend for ages. Nothing was done to fix it. Obviously… vehicles with speed, come across a huge pothole suddenly… swerve to the other side…right at a bend.. vehicles must collide.
Heard about this jumbie..never seen it, but a lot of these accidents are just a result of carelessness. Clean the roads, put proper drains, fix the potholes, drivers don’t speed when it’s wet, make sure you have proper tires when carrying people..
as a past runner i drove that stretch at high speeds talking 160 km never got into any problems
Drivers just have to respect the road if the surface is wet don’t speed if you have defective tires same thing, the only jumbie on the road are those drivers trying to be kamakazy when the condition does not suit the way they driving.
kids speeding kills
Jombie? Some people jes cya drive!
how about careful driving, no speeding and no alcohol when driving?
this road needs a speed bump!
in the name of jesus let the jumbiee removed
Well, well, well. I love my people. Laughed a whole lot.
On a serious note I believe that evil is present and one should not deny what another has seen. I’m in no position to deny those who have witnessed it.
Word of advise: be alert and look unto Jesus who is the author and finisher of our faith. Evil does exist in the world. Where there is good, evil is present also. Where there is light, there must be darkness. Be cognizant of the fact that there is a heaven to gain and a hell to shun. Do what’s right and choose heaven.

@ Sam Harris
If evolution is true, why are there still monkeys? Exactly my point. Good day sir.
First off, use the term “primates,” not “monkeys,” so as not to cause confusion. People get mixed up on this all the time because they think all monkeys literally turned into humans, which is simply untrue.
Basically, “monkeys” did not turn into humans. We are primates, like chimpanzees and gorillas. However, our connection to them is through an ancestor we all have in common as primates. Think of it like a tree. At the trunk, you have a common ancestor; from there, you have a number of branches going off in different directions. Some branches are closer than others; we are closely related to bonobos, for instance, and chimpanzees share over 98% of genetic material with us. But do not make the mistake of thinking it is all a straight line from chimpanzee to human. Chimps occupy their own branch on the evolutionary tree and we occupy our own branch, as do the other primates. We evolved not from “monkeys” but from prior species of homo–homo erectus, for instance.
its could be true dont juge the persons involve in this christ is near all kind of things will be happening its already started
just read the bible its there
Great explanation!
(How I wish you were the real Sam Harris – I am just about to read your book! )
Hmm, I don’t know bout this monkey or whatever erectus…the Bible says God created me and that’s all I believe. I don’t have anything else to prove or research.
im sure this monkey talk came from some stupid church sermon. i hate to discuss evolution with people who think it had anything to do with monkeys.
NO Jumbie. Just reckless driving. In reference to the sighting of a so-called white woman, my guess it’s just a reflection of the lights on an object or a tree like banana leaves.
Drive carefully!
No “jumbie” , but…………BUSDRIVERS ,ITS YOU!!
My oppinion,
———–tyres are OK , the airpresure
—–CAMBER ;CASTER, TO OUT to IN
————WEEHLBALLANCING OK
———–Fusee’s are OK .——————–
BUSDRIVERS ARE NOT PROFESSIONELL
————————-LICENSE MECHANIC:
now you make me feel at home. finally, a non-superstitious educated person in physics and practical applications of it. i love this post.
If you believe in good then you must believe in evil. There has to be a balance. am just saying……….
do not believe in evil but the fact that there is evil,and no balance GOOD should overpower evil always.
this is binary thinking. and the concept of good and evil is a matter of perspective for everyone. its based on what values they hold and their social molding. what’s good or evil to you may not measure out the same way for someone else who sees it differently.
Dear people of Dominica:
I prefer to wait to be the last person to comment because I hope that someone will speak my sentiment based on the theme of the news article.
But for this article here, if there was any of my sentiment spoken here, they were off topic; so here is what I have to say about this news article.
First of all “jumbie” “laggabless” whatever we call it in Dominica, I am not going to say that I know what they are–because I don’t.
But I know that we have both evil spirit and good Spirit possessed people among us in Dominica and everywhere, in this world for that matter. Otherwise I would not have accepted the Bible as the Word of God.
For example the seven Churches which Jesus spoke about through the apostle John, at the Book of Revelation–are referred to as seven Spirit. You will read that Jesus continued to say: And to the angel of the Church in Sardis etc, etc, etc.
Those of us who are true Christians ought to know that we people, who form the Church, represents the Body of Jesus and He is the Head of that Body. This body ought to be a Spiritual Body.
Therefore,we people, must consider ourselves as a unit–the Spiritual Body with one mind and one accord as we enter the church house to worship God and to have fellowship with our Church family.
At the Gospel of Luke, Chapter 24, Jesus said to His disciples: “touch Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have”. Jesus said that to His disciples because they had trouble believing that He was risen from the dead, and they thought that they were seeing the ghost of Him.
All through the Bible we read that Jesus and His disciples were casting out demon spirits from people, for whatever reasons they possessed those people. A few of them intended to expose Jesus’ identity–something that Jesus wanted people to know by their faith, and not Him simply telling them who He was. Jesus simply silenced those demons in those certain persons.
One man identified himself as “legion”, meaning that he was possessed by a large number of demons. Jesus cast out those demons into a herd of pigs who went into the water of a lake and drowned themselves.
What is my Point of all this? It is to help you, my people, to realize that a spirit has no body of his own–otherwise Holy Spirit would not be able to indwell people from all over this world. On the Day of Pentecost He indwelt 3120 people at one time. But look at Jesus own words at Luke 24 39 if you don’t believe me.
And so that spirit, good or bad, needs a physical body to do its work. That is the reason we should accept Jesus as the Person of Love–meaning God Almighty, who is Eternal Spirit, better known as Christ, Lord, Emmanuel, Jehovah, Elohim and other names. It was through Jesus work of Salvation that God, Eternal Spirit, is now able to reconcile us to Himself, by our faith.
Holy Spirit connects to people through their conscience and by their faith; conscience then come into its act to feeds their minds. The demons of Satan connects to the human senses which are motivated to feeds their minds of those persons as well.
In other words the Spirit or spirit sows its seed in the mind of its possessor–a physical person-where that seed will be nurtured to process the certain fruit–of Life or death. We witness those functions through our existence in this world day after day. By what force do you think that shooting and killing happened at Krazy Coconut, on the weekend, if not an evil influence?
The person of the physical, who is possessed by that Spirit or spirit will demonstrate the fruit which his or her mind has produced, in his/her attitude and conduct. I write “Spirit” in reference to God and “spirit” in reference to Satan.
To think of a “jumbie” being at a certain place as the reason bad things happening there, is a superstition–a negative seed which we feed to our minds; negativity will produce negative responses.
I would think that accidents happens in that same spot of the road, due to it constructive nature–for example, when I was living in Dominica, and when it rained, there was the same spot that I knew I would fall down because of slipperiness after the rain; the same is true about the snow in Toronto for both drivers and pedestrians–I just hate it. All we need is a sign to remind drivers to slow down or drive carefully when they get to that those certain spots of the roads.
Lizavier4Jesus,
Well done, well said, and enlightened mind.
Now this story is a WIN :LOOSE:or DRAW situation,
Now everyone take a deep breath and stop hyperventilating over perseptions, you all are right.
Now send this Story to BELLA or GHOST STORY coloum. enough is enough,this is a political diverson, can’t you guys see that?
my people that gullible?caramba!!!!!!!
@ tech nee
“Perceptions”. To each his own. Some people refuse to admit that evil spirits exist or even good spirits.
We are in a world which is more sinful than godly. Our Lord recognizes that the evil one dominates the world because of the weakness of people and refusal to conform to the Will of God according to His Commandments and what is contained in Holy Scriptures. One of it is the numerous religions which sprouted up to this present day, causing divisions, lack of love, peace and enmity.
Not every one has the answer. If you have common sense and utilize it, you can read between the lines of those comments and draw your conclusion to what is the truth. It is by no means a political diversion. This story has good truth in it. It is not a fable or fiction. Furthermore, some people have had the experience. There are some who are always negative and do not give others the benefit of the doubt. You are one who doubt. So be it but this does not mean that you and some others who doubt and deny it are correct. You just fail to be realistic.
some street lights would be nice in that particular area
thts true…street lights would be necessary
@ joy
You are correct. Spirits of any nature flourish in the darkness. You may hardly see them during the day when it is bright.
I guess all u don’t believe Jesus got tempted by the jumbie (satan). all u need to take a step back and realize what’s real. Just because you don’t approve, does not make it unreal. Through out all u bible, jumbies are mentioned…do you not believe in your bible? Ignorant people need to wake up from their sleepless slumber!!
Most of you posting here disapproving the existence of jumbies are Christians, who preach about the Devil. Jumbie, satan, devil…all the same. Re-think your thoughts before you eat your own words. Do you not believe in your own Bible? What a shame!!!
All fairytales.
This made my day.
DNO. Someone posted that some white people where killed there in the 70s. Could you find out if that is the case and put an article about that. Don’t know if DR.Honychurch would know.
Honeychurch knew those people. It happened around the time when his own father, Ted Honeychurch,was murdered by the dreads. It should be in the police and court records and in the Chronicle.
poor road building and not enough signage might be the jumbie heh heh
There was another senseless murder at Pond Casse in the 1980’s. The teenage grandson of the Scandinavian couple that built and lived in the hotel at Pond Casse that the Chinese now have, came to visit them. One day he went for a walk with one of the locals who worked there, and the boy was murdered in the bush.

LMFAO
It’s not really a jumbie but an AJABLESS ….doh laff…she have one good foot and one cow foot…ask Paul Keens Douglas
@ Jabla
Paul Keens Douglas is a comedian. Make up stories. How could he be believable? Of course, he heard it from others.
Don’t deny what you don’t know about! Read, read, read and research before you say “there is no such thing” Just because you people don’t believe these things exsit, does not make mean it is not around us. That is just pure ignorance!!!
“it was not me that stole that mans laptop in the middle of the night …. it was a jumbie.
“this child needs to be sedated … she claims that he father come in the middle of the night to touch her … she must be seeing Jumbies”.
Think about it DA … it is all excuses.
Lord please protect us from evil that MAN do …. then blame it on spirits.
How stupid do we look to the outside world? Jumbies?
That road is the first straight after a lot of curves … the drivers then go fast … too fast …
That’s it.
DA needs better licensing laws … that test needs to be better. It too easy.
What!!!! A JUMBIE!!!!!…
No!!! My friends there a no such things. Except as it looks from your images the conditions appeared wet and rainy and no JUMBIES comes out in those conditions.
Lets all pause for thoughts…
This accident could have been caused by several elements such as driving to fast, poor tyre threads depth( technically BALD) not able to copping with the amount of water on the road , reckless driving with view to endangering life’s.Or even so unsafe vehicles.
two accident over a period of time does not mean that the road is hunted by Jumbies??? or UFO’s what ever, has nothing to do with this incident.
What we need to learn from that is, we need to slow down reassess our driving skills and every so often check that your vehicle are fit for purpose such as brakes and tyre.
By the way the Motor Insurance Law state that the legal environment safety limit on tyres are 1.6mm and every vehicle owners have a legal obligation to maintains that their tyre are change once past that limit .
It is a criminal offence to drive on illegal tyres knowing full well it can cause fatalities and even imprisonment of the driver if found guilty of the offence. PLEASE TAKE NOTE………
@ Unbiased Successor
In the same manner some deny the existence of God. They are not smart people.
It’s just someone who probably suffered a violent death where the Soul gets a jolt and think she is still alive, she needs to cross over.
The driver needs to stop driving too fast with a mobile phone stuck to ear and while listening full blast to Kairi FM and turning around to the guy in the back because he can’t hear what them saying.
Jumbies.
@ Blu
You cannot assume that this is what he was doing. Believe what he stated he saw and experienced. It is his word. He was present; not you.
@ Prophet 2
Prayers are needed to send her on her way. Hopefully, she is not a condemned soul. The way we live, it is the way we die.
As the saying goes seeing is believing…. I can attest to this sightings on the pond case road back in 1998. I was a police office and while driving on this road we spotted a white lady walking all of a sudden she disappeared… We shared this stories with our close families not thinking much of it. 14 years later I am reading a story on DNO of what others experienced on this same road… I know evil exist but to me this is a bit ironic.
lol….this thing is like a movie hahahahaaha….Thanks for making me laugh..i had a great night….i really did…God i love my race
THERE IS NO JUMBI ON THE ROAD.dOMINICANS DRIVING TO FAST ON THE ROAD. THE ROAD IS TOO NARROW TO BE DRIVING THE SPEED DOMINICANS DRIVE ON THE ROAD. THERE NEED TO BE SPEED LIMIT ON THE ROAD AND THE POLICE NEED TO ENFORCE IT. THERE SHOULD BE NO ONE DRIVING MORE THAN 35-40 MPM IN DOMINICA.
@ WOWO
They may be driving fast but can you prove that there is not an evil spirit on the road. I have a principle, “what I cannot prove I should not deny.” This is basic common sense. Furthermore some people have reported sightings. How can you state that it is not true? Utilize your common sense if you have any. It should happen to you and you would not deny it.
can you prove that there is an evil spirit? the burden of proof is on those making the claim. until you can prove it anybody is free to deny it. that’s how it works not the other way around. if you want to go that route then I can say that I speak to god on a constant basis and he tells me most of the people who call themselves christians are actually superstitious idiots. prove me wrong.
so explain the lady
please explain
Next Easter I am hatching a “MOSS” underneath my arm pit. Lol.
According to Lennoxhonychurch.com a jumbie is:
An evil spirit. The word originates from a branch of the Bantu language especially of the kongo-ngola group in which there is the good nsambi “God” and the evil nsumbi “Devil”.
Carried across from Africa to Dominica in various Central and West African language sub-groups, nsumbi became Jumbie or Jombie in its Creole form. Good and evil were under the same spiritual power constantly tussling for a balance between the two.
Songs and religious practices celebrated the contest, but over time only the Jombie, the evil spirit, was remembered.
In early folklore this Jombie could affect your health while you were asleep at night or wreck your good fortune.
Practitioners of Obeah were supposed to be able to drive the spirit out or make it affect others. The Jombie is also used as a bogeyman in stories to frighten children into obedience.
@ Dorival John
Ever since St. Michael the Archangel threw proud, disobedient and stubborn Lucifer who said ‘I will not serve God’ and his fallen angels from Heaven, the world is tormented by the evil one and his corteges. Know that they will exist until the end of time as also where there are evil which the world is not devoid of. Some of them are sinful people who do not recognize God as Creator and Ruler of the world. Even in life there is a price to pay for this.
They exist in every nationality throughout the world. They are called evil spirits, also knows as Lucifer, Satan, the dragon, snake, the detractor and destroyer of souls, the enemy of God and of our souls.
Little do you know as I have read that Satan allows them, from Hell to come into the world and affect us. Some of them appear as beautiful men and women and even animals.
@ Just. and Truth. No! Physical Beauty is a trait that leads to pomp, vanity and eventually a spiritual fall. The [devil] does not need to convert his demons/devils/gins into human beings for the deception of others. This goes against the “laws of the veil.”
It is already accomplished via man-to-man
Sincerely,
A man of the cloth
I like ..I like ..now tell me about the soucouyah and dee Lougawho….please i wanna know
@ so-what
Some people do not know the power of the devil or that they pretend not to know or refuse to. As the Mother of God, the Ever Blessed Virgin Mary said to a visionary which is always a message for us all, “he, with his angelic power. God did not take it from him.” This is why he can appear in homes even the doors are closed. At the end of time, all power will be taken from him. In the meantime, we must take precaution to resist him as St. Paul stated.
:
: i remember in the 70s some wite people get kill in that area so it could be true
according to the photo, the road looks wet to me, hence, wet road plus bus drivers equals accident
@ son of the soil
I do not doubt that there is truth in this story. You should inform us about that incident. Their souls are not at rest.
i remember in in the 70s some wite people get kill in that area
EBEN WEH
TRUE [we are on the same page] TOO MUCH DRAMA.
Forget about ghost, forget about jumbie dressed in white dress, these are just miths that can be an exciting fairy tale story. But this is 2012 in which many of those fairy tale stories are gradually vanishing.
When accidents of this magnitude occur, drivers got to understand that it is their burden to prove that they were not driving recklessly or hazardous conditions contributed to the accident and must undaerstand that in a court of law there is NO such defence as ( your honor I was attacked by a jumbie ).
the area is indeed dangerous. i overturned my mitsubishi there in 2009
Please explain how it happened so other can learn… and no Jumbies.
you people are too superstitious
@ madness
There are always people like you who will deny it. You may have something to fear.
well that jumbie move from ravine cock fond cole to pond casse. the road from goodwill road to ravine cock has claimed the most lives in traffic accidents. maybe the jumbie tired with the lights of the city and now move to the darkness of pond case,
It is not a jumbie that on the road. Can’t you hear the voice of God speaking to you all, Dominica has a heart problem. The Lord resists the proud and give grace to the humble. The devil is being glorified in Dominica, you all appear to have a form of godliness
but your hearts are far from him. Jesus Christ came and died in your place, to save you from your sins. But you all mock and make fun of it. Watch out God judgement is not far from Dominica.
I pray to God that he will open the eyes of you all Dominicans.
God bless you all. may you find salvation through His Son Jesus Christ.
I agree 100%. Who we suppose to look unto, we ignore. We tend to get caught up in satans little tricks where he wants us to loose sight of God. Let’s not get carried away.. jus simply ask God to guide and protect you as you travel not only Pond casse Road but all Roads.. Don’t fair, just trust God.
so u believe in God but not de devil
there is good and there is evil…i believe there is both.
lord ayo making me start to feel shame that I am from Dominica. Posting this sort of thing online…”jumbie” my foot!!!!
Oh gosh, you people are just sick!!! This particular stretch is just Dangerous, a tricky corner and the drivers are ruthless! I happen to be in Dominica last year when that gurl died and was right on the scene. The AREA is just DANGEROUS especially when its raining, YOu people need to stop this nonsense!!!
Items place on the web can be viewed worldwide and people tend to jump to conclusions/stereotype others because of these kinda things.
Weh garcon!!!!!
You making more shame u are a Dominican.
WTF is “ayo?”
Hahahaha
just so you know, I am Dominican by descent. So I dont need to say I am a Dominican. and “ayo” is slang.
Why you trying to ridicule the people if more than one (1) eyewitnesses claim to see a white lady on that same stretch of road? What if that place is haunted? They need to send some ghost hunters there to investigate what’s really there
Now you are truly shameful. Ghost hunters my big foot. And that is an intended pun. No doubt you’ll be searching for Bigfoot soon, too, and fairies, and Mama Glo in the river.
Eyewitnesses prove nothing. People see things that aren’t there all the time. Give me a photograph, a good-quality video, or bring the ghost to a laboratory for some experiments. THEN we can talk. Until then…ghost hunters, really?
omg, you just prove that you people are dumber than I thought, Ghost Hunters? Like seriously????
Call 1-800-ghostbusters I think its consultation is free of charge.
I have lived in Toronto most of my life and have heard many stories of roads with evil spirit. Find something else to be ashamed of.
implying that canadians are automatically more rational than dumb-in-the-cans
Whoever is pulling this ghost thing off…lol they are awesome! unless is a real jumbie then um…yeah
@ CB
It is their prerogative, just as yours to believe it or not to believe it but you cannot make others not believe it. Some of you like to deny such matters when they do exist. There is a holy and good God. There is an evil one. Good and evil exists in the world. Many are aware of that. You insinuating that such evil does not exist just not change a thing of its non-existent.
Listen I am quite aware of the existence of evil. But Dominicans have a habit of blaming everything on evil, even though there is a perfectly logical explanation to it.
In fact they talk about so much evil aka “obiah” that every time i tell a stranger that I am from Dominica they ask me about “money fighting in road” and all kinda obiah/jumbie related nonsense. This is quite embarrassing.
alyou always quick to jump and feel ashame that alyou are from dominica when people like alyou watching unsolved mysteries and the likes.tv shows that shows ghosts and all.These things happen all over the world.is alyou like that that just put up other people country and put down alyou own.stop discrediting alyou country and fellowmen.sheesh man
I am Dominican to the bone. Before cell phones I use to walk with a Caribbean map in my pocket so that people would not confuse my Nature Island with the Dominican Republic.
There is good and bad. I heard about stories of ten dollars fighting in the road too. What about the “MOSS” that people hatch underneath their arm pits during Easter to help them get money when they were poor? I could use a “MOSS” right now. Lol.
Lol. Improve the safety of the area, more lights and signs or even speed umps and stop blaming damn jumpies. Lol

” Francisco go an fine a tree to hump and stop talk sh..”
It is actually a waste of time for me to respond to people like you two uneducated insignificant weasels; the joke is always on idiots like you two who are so shallow that you can only understand what derived from your distorted mind!
I am Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque, born in the Village of Wesley, I am not fictitious, that is why I write comments under my true name given to me by my parents.
I can be identified in the darkest hour of the night, I proved that a few Friday nights ago when Midnight Grover’s performed here, I went to the show, I was standing next to the band engineer, I could not recognize all the members of the Band, since only two of the original members are left, so I ask the engineer who are those guy’s, he said to me go on stage and meet the fellers, they were still in rehearsal, anyway the first guy I attempt to introduced to by the time I said ” my name is ” Francisco ” he completed the introduction by adding Etienne-Dods Telemaque.
Then he said I read your comments all the time, we had a good laugh, and tell you what me and the guy argued a Dominica issue in a blog and he got angry with me, nonetheless, we did not get into the politics of the day, he is a darn great guitar player, I record the whole show.
So you see I am not a phantom in the night, I am not fictitious like you invisible no name nobody little rats!
I challenge those who critique me to post something under their given name, prove to me that you exists and are more intelligent than I am, unless you can identify yourself as I have done, you have nothing to critique me about!
Thus you are lower than I am, you are under my feet with you faces are in the dust biting and eating the dust under my feet. you have no class at lease a makack in your patios meaning monkey has more commonsense than you two idiots!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahahahahahahah!
Get someone to analyze the nonsense you both wrote, and find out if there is any sense in what you said, ask yourselves ” how stupid am I; and try to see what answer you get.
Poor little fools!
Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque
Telemaque, you are projecting your lack of intelligence and knowledge of the truth. You are one proud person who insults people, placing yourself on a greater and higher-than-thou pedestal when you are by far not.
God is displeased and detests people as you. Allow people to comment without insulting them. Humble yourself before the Lord and He will exult you in due time. Those who exult themselves will be humiliated forever in eternity.
@ Justice & Truth.
Thank you for your response to Telemaque. My blood was boiling when I was reading the drivel that he wrote. Does he know the people he’s trying to insult or their status in life? They are beneath him and under his feet?? He must be God. The Bible states that a boaster seldom wins the day. This a public forum for us to voice our opinions, (God knows we are all entitled to ours) and there is absolutely no need for the type of insults that some people resort to.
Who cares what you think?
I deliberately insult those tow idiots, because the line that they wrote exposed their lack of intelligence.
I know I make lots of mistake when I write; that is because my mind races, so the left out words are all due to a racing mind, however if I were to edit what I write I could make the corrections.
These two idiots who have chosen to critique me does not even know how to frame a sentence!
So why get on my case?
The truth is one opinion about me fades me not, I can take anything that is thrown at me, however give me the right to give them hell when they attack me, many of you are chicken, have no guts funny as they come has no name, cannot be identified, meaningless to me what make you believe what a no name nobody can affect?
As for the one who calls me Telemakack :
Hhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah, or some nonsense has been calling me that for years, not only on DNO. I believe the idiot is either from Marigot or Wesley, yet the person is unable to identify themselves as a dog, cat or human.
That person does not even have the guts to call a monkey if that’s what they want to call me what kind of people are you writing under all these fictitious names, the reason why you people are fictitious is because you are ashamed of the stupid comments you all write, and you do not wish your friends and neighbors to identify you!
I on the other hand anything I write god or bad, I am prepared to pay the penalty.
Be like me or remain silent: One person comments how white people got killed at the same place, what does it matter who get killed, black or white?
The fact is there is a defect in that stretch of road, commonsense should dictate that the authorities look into the problem, some people talking about fog and all that. There is only one place on that of Road between Marigot and Roseau I have seen fog in Dominica, it is in that small region we once tag the center of the island, and don’t quote me on that because I do not know if it is official.
The constant nonsense about zombie is a joke.
Now I know that there is a spiritual world coexisting with the natural world, and in that spiritual good sprits coexist with evil sprits, however, the evil sprits have no authority over humans unless we let them into our life, and let them control us, what you learn here is deep, I am no obeah man, but if you get into the word of God, you might understand what I conveyed, and the concept!
Don’t worry about it the remarks of those poor little fools has no effect on me, I am not a narrow minded person. people have a right to get on my case if that’s what their time permits them to do; and I do not hold it against them either.
If I was dumb like them maybe I would!
And feel free to insult me if you so desire also, as it is in the nature of all Dominicans.
Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque
Sir honestly I think you need to get off your high horses…You are a bit too puffed up..You need to be a little more humble..you just dont change at all….You have been like this for too long….Turn a new leaf man….
@ frank
Telemaque is really on his high horse. One day God will strike him down, when he leasts expect it.
St. Paul tell us: “Whoever boasts should boast in the Lord.” God is the one who keeps us alive and on our two feet, healthily and mentality. We have a lot to be thankful to Him for. By no means God approves of such people.
Our Lord Jesus Christ said, “Love God and love others as we love ourselves.” Our Lord also said, “The insults of those who insult you fall on Me” and “Vengeance is Mine. I will repay.”
Telemaque is far from that. His day is coming.
like wth? Dude you got some serious issues!!!!
You have proven to be no better than those you insult.
You CANNOT be a Telemaque!!!
BEFORE WE CRY JUMBIE, LET’S LOOK AT POSSIBLE LOGICAL CAUSES.
WAS THE MOTORIST(S) DROWSY OR PARTIALLY SLEEPING AT THE WHEEL?
WAS THE ROAD WET [I KNOW THAT ROAD IS SLIPPERY EVEN ON A HOT DRY DAY]?
WAS THE MOTORIST SPEEDING [I FIND IT TEMPTING TO X DOWN THAT STRAIGHT ROAD TOO (ESPECIALLY WHEN I NEED TO GET HOME)]
WAS THE MOTORIST DISTRACTED?
DID THE BRAKES GIVE WAY?
WHAT WAS THE WEATHER LIKE AT THE TIME (FOGGY)?
DOES THE ROAD NEED IMPROVEMENT IN ITS DESIGN TO ENSURE SAFETY FOR MOTORIST (PEDESTRIANS TOO)?
ONCE SUCH QUESTIONS ARE CAREFULLY EVALUATED THEN WE MAY LOOK AT OTHER RELATED CAUSES-FOR EXAMPLE, OPTICAL ILLUSIONS, ETC.
IN ADDITION, WHAT WAS THE CONDITION OF THE TIRES? NEW, USED, POROUS, BALD?
WAS THE MOTORIST ON ANY DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR MEDICATION[NOT ONLY POSSIBLE DROWSINESS BUT ALSO HALLUCINATIONS]?
But this conclusion was made after many vehicles got into accident in that particular area. Then the apparent sightings. So it was not based on one accident. Now it is time to further investigate the real causes of all the past accidents and then you questions can be answered. The investigation could focus on alcohol, drugs, sleep, tire, brakes, cell phones etc etc etc.
A business doing good is jumbie,,sumbdy get sick is jumbie,,a car crash is jumbie,,a young man open a business is jumbie he do to get d money,,boy we Dominican is d most negative people I ever met..
There is good and there is evil.If something is repetitive then it has to be tested..It is not impossible for there to have a spirit which causes all these accidents.The devil purpose is to kill,steal and destroy,that has not changed but he uses different strategies.
many people have stories of when they were attacked by spirits we just have not experienced it so we judge otherwise..
whatever it I plead the Blood of Jesus over the lives that cummute daily..
remember a few years ago when a family found a doll with pins stucj in it in Grandbay?if marpin dd not air it we would have said its a lie because we find it far fetched..
*commute*
hahaha I wonder why that typo was made? child of god my @%% lmao
@ Child of God
Once when I visited DA I read in the newspaper that a house in Grand Bay was being renovated. A bottle was found under the steps of the house which contained some nails and names of people. Dominicans who deny that evil people and spirits do not exist and do not roam the areas as mentioned in this article try to believe, convince themselves and others that they do not exist. As I have stated, by saying that they do not exist they are trying to erase it from their mind but they will not succeed. They know very well that it exists. Those who do not practice the faith and also do not practice it as they should including criminals/murderers keep the reign of evil spirits in themselves, their homes and their country. God knows this too.
No god, no jumbies. Simple.
People “STOP” your silliness and rediculousness: This is the 21st Century and some of you still believe in this crap about JUMBIE/GHOST etc. Heaven and Hell is right here with us…drivers drive with more common sense, consideration and knowledge of your surroundings and there will be less accidents. Use your head!
lol.. wet road in that area plus a little speed = hyrdoplane. I
‘ve driven there all my life. That last incident where the child died- we called for help.. driver with BALD tires speeding on that wet road and I heard on a cell phone. No jumbie there.
@ Hmmm
Try driving there in the middle of the night. This is when they come out, in pitch darkness. During the day they may not be seen but they are present.
This could be the spirit of someone who died on this area of the road. Drivers must drive carefully.
I’m thinking the same
@ Calibishie
You are correct.
Boy, Dominicans
I wouldn’t want to be so quick to rule it out. Dominicans are funny people who seem to have an answer for everything and doubt others because they did not have the experience. I live in the very scientific united states and barring any phony tv shows there are many strangewell documented events that defy reason and explanation.
Look no futher than the movie A HAUNTING IN CONNECTICUT, think this is just a movie call news 12 for the tapes and ask the residents. Talk to the hundreds of eyewitnesses and firefighters, policemen then maybe some of your rash and super intelligent explanations fir everything will change.
…what’s wrong with wanting a scientific answer? You have something better than science to use to come up with testable claims and repeatable experiments?
Didn’t think so.
Also, the USA is far from “very scientific.” Half of America does not even believe in evolution–which is just plain sad for America. Unfortunately, more than half of Dominica also refuses to accept it.
Why should they believe in evolution? That’s great that they do not.
@Driver – thank you for exposing your ignorance yourself. I can always do it myself, but it’s a rare simpleton who does it him/herself.
Evolution is a fact, and only ignorant fundamentalist fools do not know that. Do some research from actual science sources–not creationist BS websites.
@ Keeping an Open Mind
Sometime ago I was speaking to a man who is superintendent of a building in Toronto. He told me a few things and about a tenant ‘who saw something’. I did not ask him what it was.
You who reside in the U.S., know that people die in those buildings; some were murdered; others committed suicide; some were godless; some believed in the occult and conducted seances. Some years ago I saw a few TV programs on the ghosts of Toronto, Vancouver, Great Britain, etc. Many people have reported such, even in workplaces, office settings and restaurants. Those who deny that such spirits do not exist are denying the reality of them and deluding themselves.
Those things exist all over the world. At the end of time, God will eradicate them to the fires of eternal Hell. Until then, we will have them. We need to protect ourselves from them by worship, prayer, etc.
i dont kno if this story is true..wat i am sure of is that there is good n there is evil..n because we havent seen watever is up there, we say its not true..what we dont kno, wont hurt us!
We have the same name? First time I have come across this. Is this genuine as I have not commented on this article?
Every one wants to be in the news and have the readers wasting time to comment on foolishness. How much time did you spend reading those comments? You must check it out and you will realize how much good/positive things you could have accomplished within that time.
Like Wise
Did you check to see how much good/positive things you could have accomplished within the time you took to read the story and write your comment?
LMFAO
Once something is being said we make our own justifications whether its true or not these things do exist. People love to make mockery of everything but everybody has there turn in life is only when it happens to us we believe. Yes the drivers are reckless, and greedy they need to be more cautious on the road but there is God and Satan so ponder on that
“The reason I was driving so fast, your Honour, is because I saw a jumbie in the road and I had to get away. And if it hadn’t been for all the rum I’d been drinking I swear I wouldn’t have made it.”
lol nice
But that is a very serious and winning defense. It can be used in the USA too.
Yes I believe evil do exist AND AS OF NOW WE SHOULD DO SOME PRAYERS IN THE AREA ACCOMPANIED BY A FEW PRIEST N MINISTERS.Stop talking politics n lets work to save lives.Also yes the road is not in the best condition and our drivers ought to be careful.
i do believe that this area needs prayers because too many lives has been lost and few or no prayers has not been made
@ sweetgurl and jernel
You are correct. Some people do not give this a thought. This is an area where people die; lost their lives through accidents. We call it premature deaths. Their spirits may be still there. Prayers should be conducted in that area.
In Canada and no doubt the U.S., in areas where people are murdered or accidents occur with loss of lives, people lay flowers, lighted candles and conduct prayer vigils. Know that those who do may not even be church-going ones. God who is the Judge and forgives, hears those prayers.
Dominica is a Christian country. Dominicans should do likewise. This allows those departed souls repose.
Recall when our loved ones die through natural causes be it in a hospital, we conduct prayers for them in our home and because they lived there. Those souls need to be at rest. I do hpe that prayers, blessing and reading of the Psalms will be conducted in that area.
Amen. I totally agree. We are a small country and we have our beliefs. Most things can be explained with science but the war between good and evil is just as real. Get the priets and pastors to claim the blood of Jesus on that road and the area infront Public Works. If we believe in God then we must beleive in the devil.
according to the bible the blood of jesus was shed for the forgiveness of sins. not for the sake of exorcism. according to the bible those who die go to the grave until the judgement ie. no such thing as ghosts (according to the bible). also demons exist according to the bible but they are limited to possession and influence by temptation. they do not take spirit form that normal people can see. you all claim these things like you are truly christians but the fact is not many of you actually read your bible and just talk nonesense based on heresay and stuff you have seen in films. go read your bible and arm yourself. I’m not even a christian and I know all these things. shame
You doe seeing the nice stretch of road in the pic….once a Dominican see that…it tess they wan tess their speedometer to see how high it will go….and when the car flip, tun, spin..crash…yal wan say jombie in d road….jackaaaaaa………ssssoo…
wet poor road surface+inconsiderate foolish drivers= accidents and death
if she look like Marylyn Monroe i want to meet her.
@ gogoo
You made me laugh out loud. In private she would turn out to be a demon and destroy you. Do not ever wish for that.
AAA advice to motorist,!! DONT SPEED WHEN THE RAIN JUST START TO FALL, thats when the road is most dangerous, cause of engine oil licks,and for the white lady, i gave her a ride and she home to sleep with me …..
There might be an expanation for all of this. We just need to roll back the history of activities in the general Pond Case area for the answers we now seek.
May the good spirits of our ancestors be pleased.
Peace
Am I the only one who remembers that a white American couple, Mr & Mrs Wright,were murdered at Pond Case by the dreads in the 1970’s? Their bodies were mutilated,and the woman’s breasts were even cut off. Their white neighbor, Mrs Reiter, ran to call for help. She had long grey hair.
I am glad for the opportunity to remind people of our recent gruesome history.
Dominicans forget that the evil they do LIVES WITH THEM…. some poor soul may still be seeking justice from beyond the grave….
dno we need more stories from our history, after all there is very little documentation of these eras, lets not leave it all up to lennox
jamaica has john boggle and we have congoree and the likes, a little storytime would be veryyyyy entertaining and educational for this next generation……I too would enjoy reading some of those comments……..tee hee
where can we read up on that piece of history? I never heard of this before.
@ I didn’t forget nuh
Whenever I read articles and happenings I always do my best to think beyond. Some of it may be through inspiration.
This confirms what the man or others saw on the stretch at Pond Casse. Some of us forget the news of yesteryear. A good thing that you remembered. This is the spirit or more who are roaming restlessly in that area.
Thinking of this, what about those dreads? Are they all still alive? The driver reported a man had a gun to his head when they observed the woman. Would it be that this could be the evil spirit of a dread who murdered them whether he died in that area or not? There is no smoke without fire. Sometimes those spirits, as the woman may not evil but are trying to tell us something.
ZOR TO SOT. There is no jumbie on any road. Drivers are just careless, irresponsible, poor planners…. trying to make up time…… what a wasted thought….multitasking…… another foolish word………all this will add up to accidents and spending of unnecessary$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
So agree with you road watcher! To much nonsense about ghost and all that crap, we believe in too much superstitious nonsense. I can understand the part about the knife man, because people will take their chances to rob and steal if they think there is something in it. All they have to do is monitor the actions of drives on that stretch of read unknown to them, then implement some form of preventative action to limit further accidents, and lost of life, I was home when that poor child lost her life, So sad for her mother.
My Husband told me once that He lost control on this Road, and without good driving experience you cannot handle your self on this Road, I thank God for His intervention that day He brought my Husband to safety, My husband say’s that their is some kind of oily area on this Road, I think that the Gov should look into it; I should have alerted the public when he told me so sorry i kept the story to my self;
Well well well, I have watched my father drive that section of road for years and now me for about twenty. The truth and the fact is, that section of road needs some attention. The last time they fixed it, they concentrated on the sides and not the center. If u look at the road, all the gravels or stones are gone only tar or colas left. when it rains it becomes slippery.I am a bus driver too and after talking to many of us who have run off that section of road, would tell u that it is slippery there. So please stop all the nonsense talk and get the guys work on the road to put some gravels on the road. Colas as we know it cannot hold vehicles on the road especially when it’s wet. Hope the minister and his PS who is for Castle Bruce who uses the road every day is listening or more lives will go just because of our negligence.
FRAID A WHO.fraid of what.U c it, u dont understand ot
I have often heard people say “That road killed my Grandmother, Uncle….” etc. The truth is, that the road cannot harm anyone – all accidents are the result of human error / badly maintained vehicles. Including driving too fast for the road/weather conditions. When some of these drivers see a straight stretch of road, they feel the need to go as fast as possible.
Some of the bad potholes on this road were fixed this week, and so people are speeding again. No puzzle, no jumbie/zombie, no mystery.
All this mumbo-jumbo only exists in the mind of those who insist on believing in it. The human brain is scientifically proven to try and make recognisable shapes out of unrecognisable images. Therefore, one glance at a cow, thick fog, oddly shaped tree etc can look like a person/zombie/witch. But they don’t exist – so it can’t be. Simple as that. Look again. Investigate the true cause.
Superstition holds you back. Please try and rid yourself of it.
i do understand what you are saying,
\but there are evil spirits and it is possible that there is a prevailing spirit..I am not saying there is,but there might be..
I am not ruling out the fact that drivers have to be more careful,and that the things that they are accused about is false but we have to see with a spiritual eye sometimes..
there are angels and likewise demons that are assigned by the devil
Well-said.
Take a look at the photo, on the left one can see a white circular image, that might just be the “jumbie” there. Ha ha ha
My husband is not dominican and a few months ago he went to the airport to drop of a friend that was visiting. when he got home he told me this story of he being flagged by a lady in very dirty clothes in that same area, he found it strange that a lady would be there at that time of night and she was also on the wrong side of the road so he did not stop. He claimed that when he reached lower down the same woman stopped him again imagine he is a foreigner and that happen he got spooked and speed home not stopping, when he came home he was literally shaking, so i do beleive wat these people are saying, at the time i did not but this is the same incident that happened to my husband.
u damn lie
@ Dvt
You must be the devil or the spirit. Or that you are affiliated with such.
Nice conjecture DNO but no Jumbie.
After the accident, the vehicle is in good shape so it could not be speeding. Considering the narrow roads, bald tires, poor brakes and the constant rains it is a miracle that there are so few fatal accidents on D/ca’s roads.
By the way, isn’t the rehabilitation of road from Pond Casse to Melville be completed by now, after over two years of construction?
What so nobody mentions the aliens? tsk tsk I am disappoint
Oh, you say you have visual evidence to back up your claims?
Why don’t you present me with a video recording, a photograph, or something more than the stories of a few random people?
Ghosts don’t wait around to be recorded on camera, you’ll say, or you can’t do it while driving? How convenient.
i think u are being foolish now..
If u have ever witnessed that you would run your way home so fast pictures are the last thing on you rmind..not because it has not happen to you that means it is lie..
No, I would assume I am hallucinating or that something is wrong with me. Many people see things that aren’t really there. It’s called the brain not functioning as it should. It happens when you take certain drugs, when your brain becomes damaged, or when the blood drains too much from your brain.
So, no, I will not believe in these spooks until I have better “evidence” than a man saying he saw something somewhere.
@ smh
They are afraid to admit it that the spirits will come after them.
All you Duminicans too like evidence. How many lawyers on DNO?
Oh, we too like evidence?
Okay, how about we believe in fairies and leprechauns because evidence isn’t important? If evidence is unnecessary, we can believe in anything at all–Bigfoot, Mama Glo, the woman with the cow foot, flying pigs, cows jumping over the moon, etc.
Last time I did drive at sunset time in that road close to Pont cassé, I saw a lady with white dress, inch haking.
I could belive it to be a zombi or jumbi: On the road side her appareance, under the rain and through the windshed (my whipers vere not very cood) it could be a ghost. As my transport had not good brakes I did drive slowly and carefully.
When I was close to that white thing I heard ” Por favor Stop… me soy going al bar” It was not English, no nore pigin English or Patois but the voice was very nice and, the designs of curves of the body very interesting. So I stoped and take the ghost rider on board….. And that zombi retained me all the night as inmate in the bar..Sincerely It was not at all a nightmare and was a good circumstance for me to remember some worlds of spanish lanfuage. Some Jumbes can open to you the gates of Paradise ..So drive slowly in the Pont casse main road, any kind of accident can occur
@ bousselaire
Really? If so, you are one brave man. You should write a book about that.
I guess the Jumbie afraid of Skerrit and 10 heavily armed body guards. Let that jumbie show up if it knows what is good for it when Skerro and his detail passing late at night.I bet it will be the last time you hear bout’ this jumbie.
Good story DNO keeping things on the lighter side.
smh..oh boy..allu love skerritt..i love him too
@ Liz
You made me laugh but please do not hit on your PM.
dominicans like story
Oh no! That white lady who dresses in white is Lougaoo’s mate. She only appears if you are at risk; No Jumbie business eh. We roam that specific area at nights to ensure your safety from any accidents, only if you follow these simple rules: 1. Don’t drink and drive. 2. Ensure that you operate your vehicles within the speed limits, especially at nights when visibility is poor and the road is wet. 3. Don’t use your mobile or any electronic equipment while operating your vehicle. We can assure you that everything will be just fine when driving in this area, and any other parts of our beautiful island if you adhere to these three crucial rules. And if you don’t, you are likely to to put your life and others at risk.
lmfao @ some of these comments….allu special wii in D/ca smh …… true or not our drivers still need to be cautious on the roads
You are so right poe-ki-toe. I remember the first time I came to Dominica, expecting the Hired Car people would have driven me back to Roseau. Here you are he said, handing me the keys, and pointing me in the direction of Marigot. I did not know what to expect, and certainly did not expect what I saw ahead of me.But with every bit of caution I made it to Roseau, and eventually all around the island, many times, still with the utmost caution.The only incident was forgetting to put the Vitara in 4 wheel drive and getting bogged down in the Syndicate forest. But on the whole ,I found the Dominica drivers to be very courteous.
Not only in Dominica, but drivers in the Carribean should be exposed to Defensive Driving Techniques, it saves lives, including your own.
Unfortunately half the populace still believe in spooks and the other half in RS- MAY BE its is the ghost of the labor party haunting those who voted for RS!!!!!.
sorry but that’s nonsense roosevelt has nothing to do with this. plz dont try to bring politics into this topic plz. i think that the problem could be because of the careless drivers or something idk but plz i dont think the PM has nothing to do with this ok?
u really a pat chocon..wen devil start to ride u doe cry…how can u say something like that?everything is skerritt?
AH!! DNO, WHEY PAPA THE OTHER DAY WAS THE LADY WITH THE DEAD RAT NOW THIS JUMBIE THING U GOT TO BE KIDDING A LITTLE LAUGHTER HELPS HEEEEEE HAAAA
If you all crying for speed bumps dont cry about the pot holes. skeritt should leave all the pot hole, right?Is there any logic to put speed bumps all over the place? These comments are from non drivers so i dont blame you.If every time you have to break gas up break gas up do u know the amount of fuel and breaks u burn, and the wear and tear on the engine.But again these are plp with no knowledge of vehicle and driving.
fully in support of this logic. how in the world can we put speed bumps allll over the roads..
we should take this very seriously it could be somebody that’s be kill in that area and spirit not at rest and getting angry because who kill her was was a driver and she was hitch hiking may who she be soul rest in peace not taking this as a joke
Maybe this was a murder that wasnt even reported, maybe there is a body buried there? this place small but someone can get away with the perfect crime very easily on those roads that are less travelled.
the jumbie was placed there since that the labour party came into power.
nonsence u fool
The jumbie on the road name is common sense
No the jumbie on the road is “the lack of” common sense
Just people’s imagenation playing tricks on them. The place is called william, the lady is his wife looking for him.
Boy look a bunch of dotishness. LOL. Try putting up a few speed bumps before you pull out the holy water.
they are using there cellphone while driving
Evil and jumbie.. All that mambo jumbo only exist in ones mind. If you believe it exist then I will exsit for you. Your thoughts give this superstitions life. It will only exsits if you bring it to life.
To me, if I see a jumbie, a dog, goat or anything else, two things. Either I ram it with my car or I pull over and shoot it.
Slow down on those Smooth and wet surface roads.
u are such a fool… try that one day for you to sheet on you and piss on you..
a fool for commenting on dumb like this..
shhot it for the bullet to bounce back n take u
Talk is cheap till you experience it
Some drivers need to pay close attention to the road and stop talking on cell phones while driving…. that is my concern when riding to town. This is a smooth section of road which will be in other areas when the road work has been completed. Drive at a safe speed limit and remember your life and the lives of others are at stake!!!!
WHEN IS ONLY NOW THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS JUMBIE. COME ON PEOPLE BE REAL THE JUMBIE IS
SPEEDING ON WET ROAD.
DNO forming the now. But what is that nah?
yes i`m going to write ghost hunters international to investigate.we never know
For those of you who think this is impossible… things like that actually are real and i’m speaking from experience… Countless prayers directed to that area is all i can recommend to the people of Pond Case and Dominica on a whole!
so u mean to tell me is dat that is the vibes there
papa met.. i afraid.. who tell me read that? no sleep for me tonight.. sigh
lololol you are an idiot say your prayers close your eyes and go to bed lol
lol i checking the same thing. i even close my window cause it dark outside. now i just have to wait for my boo to come home so i can sleep
@ afraid
You made me laugh. That is what I am stating. If you are a genuine religious, Christian person, you will have nothing to fear. The Treasure of the Holy Water, blessing yourself, family and your home will help you to be unafraid, all in Jesus Name.
LOOK JUGUME EH IT REAL U NO…….. IT HAD A TIME IN DE NIGHT IT HAD TAKE LIGHT…. I SAW SUMTING IN DE TALL COCONUT TREE I WIPED MY EYES WEN I LOOK AGAIN I SAW A WHITE LADY WITH BLACK DRESS BLECK MAKE-UP BLACK LONG HAT AND A BROOM!..! MY BREAD FALL FROM MY HAND AFTER I SAW HER AND SHE SCREAMED ‘YOU HAVENT SEEN THE LAST OF ME MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!” I TELL U I CRY I CRY I CRY 4 A WHOLE 20 MINS IT TRUE
@ BABY
This reminds me that some years ago, new to Toronto, I was out late. Someone gave me a ride home. As I got out of the car I saw a woman dressed in black and wearing a black veil and walking towards the parking lot. I found it strange but never told anyone about it.
At another time, a man whom I knew died. I went to the funeral parlour. Again, I got a ride home that evening. As I got out of the car I smelled the scent of flowers, as death. You should know that type of smell. Whenever we smell this, we know someone may die. When I got out of the car, I noticed a grey shadow entering the building. As I went in I prayed the prayer to St. Michael the Archangel.
These careless drivers are the jumbie.
Hey the above story by DNO is very true… make all the fun you want as pertains to this story but there is good and so there is evil….. there is a God and there is satan….. My husband and nephew saw this lady on a late trip back from my village then all of a sudden she just disappeared….I agree bus drivers are always so fast on the road but that does not make these sightings UNTRUE.
Hey auntie, how much them fellows had to drink, you sure is not rum shop they were coming from?
LOOK JUGUME EHH JUMBIE REAL U NO….. LET ME TELL U A STORY…………..
IT HAD A TIME IT HAD TAKE LIGHT IN MY VILLAGE AN IT WAZ DARK SO THEN I SAW SUMTING IN DE TALL COCONUT TREE AND I C SUMTING LIKE A PERSON I CHECKIN I CAMT BELIEVE MY EYES SOO I WIPED THEM..

I BELIEVE U I SAW THIS ALREADY
LMAO, why don’t u consider bringing back those “tim tim bwa chech” stories, this time for media hosting?
Jumbie, or zombie, no such thing!
That is nothing more than a Dominica superstition!
The reason for the reoccurrences of the accidence might be that portion of the road might not be all that level, thus the way the idiots at home drive when they see, and get unto a paved bit of road, that is all the zombie they need to kill themselves.
They drive too fast, looses control and hurt or kill themselves, and other in the process.
If one investigate how fast the vehicle was traveling prior to the accident, one may find out the drivers were speeding, while under the influence of elicit drugs, or alcohol.
Showing off so that people can see how fast they can drive!
Anybody can drive a car or truck, there is no special skills to driving, it is not a science, however most Dominicans believe they are God gift to the world simply because they know how to drive a motor vehicle.
Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque
When last did you out foot in dominica?.shut the heck up Telemackack
@ Grass
Telemaque is a classic. Is he in his good mind?
Francisco go an fine a tree to hump and stop talk sh..
This is why the Gov. have all you like Dumb! I am the white lady you all see walking after 1 a.m. because I was with an idiot in Roseau who was behaving badly at the Hotel and found myself walking home to Newfoundland as I could not find a transport at that late hour. And to tell you the truth it was the most peacefull but very long walk. The only creature I even saw was a Magga Dog by Tabbo just before I reach home. But I am gratefull you are all so afraid of Jumbies! It gives me all the freedom to be a White Sookooyah and not be bothered. Jah Love
GOD’S EYES ARE ON YOU! HE HAS TAKEN NOTE! YOUR NAME IS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF ETERNAL DAMNATION! GO TO HELL! THIS IS YOUR LOT WITH SATAN, IN HIS EVERLASTING CAULDRON OF FIRE.
there has no jumbie is the speeding that is the jumbie.
is true what u say
@ beland
You would like to believe that, eh? Cease deluding yourself.
Enforce speed bumps !!!!
i love to hear those jumbie stories. any more?
Bus driver should say thank you to the lady in white cause if was not for her he might have lost his life at the hands of the man who tried to rob him. Nice Jumbie story
For those who believe i say “Crap” Jumbie
@ LCM
She may have protected him. She may hve been a good soul/spirit. He should pray for the repose of her soul.
There is no jumbie r ghost dat dr
So why he didn’t pick up de white lady? I mean a padna already holding a knife to your neck it can’t get any worst, lol.
is not r man is r lady
@ What?!
What is your memory like? Did you not read what he stated? When the lady appeared, he ceased his evil act. The lady scared him. She must have protected the driver.
DNO why is tonight of all nights, when i was thinking of going for a moonlight drive up this side…stupes!
lol
lol. u coward?
LOL…you will see the lady better. And, if she happens to flag you down, just stop and ask her to step in. Or, you can invite her in some conversation. They answer when you start conversation with them you know
hmmm, i hope is not some poor soul who went missing and no one noticed.. maybe its a victim from the days of the dread act. among the many unmarked graves that litter our bushes from that era….who knows………………..
well,well,well….instead of blaming the way them drivers using the roads in dominica,there lack of care for their passengers riding with them and overal greed,(getting the money fast)they blaming an invisible blonde….when insurance companies stop insuring drivers that have to many accidents on there records maybe then they will be a little more carefull,since the COPS seems to think it’s ok to have accidents and frankly no one is being held responsible
Well said my friend.We are always looking to blame someone or something when by our acts of carelessness we get into accidents.Yes let’s blame everything else except our own ignorance as drivers, both private motor vehicles and hired(passenger, commercial)vehicles.It’s only when a few of us are sent to jail for causing death by dangerous driving that some of that foolishness will eventually be brought under control.There’ll always be accidents, but i can’t tolerate jackassness.
I HEARD THE OLD PEOPLE SAID THAT JUMBIE IS SCARED
OF GASOLINE SCENT I DON’T THERE IS ON JUMBIE OUT
THERE. DRIVERS SHOULD STOP SPEEDING AND BE CAREFUL
ON THE ROAD THIS MIGHT STOP ALL THESE ACCIDENT.
Boy, next time I passing there is on my broomstick…and leave no skid marks!
lets not be fast to say it not true cause there is an area in Antigua in the west the call the valley church there is a young lady that always stopping bus drivers especially around carnival time …………one night she stop a taxi when they get into town the man stop and turn for his money the car was empty …………another time she told one u love money and she just disappear so people be careful and cover the place with the blood of Jesus
i lived there 4 7 years and i heard this story.
me too
You mean Jesus still have blood more than 2000 years after going to heaven? You sure is not voodoo man selling it?
…”cover the place with the blood of Jesus.”
Hmm. How would you do that? Resurrect the poor soul again and go at him with a cutlass? Pour some wine on the road and say an incantation?
@ Sam Harris
It appears that you are devoid of faith and faith in Our Lord Jesus Christ and what He can do in others who call on His Holy Name. God is everywhere. His Holy Spirit is also in us as baptized people, if we do not oppress Him and by sin. He hears our prayers. In His good time He will do what He will.
Having read the comments and interesting ones and of some people who were murdered by dreads in that area which I was not aware of or had forgotten, I did make a comment that something terrible may have happened in that area and that place needs to be blest with the Most Precious Blood of Jesus Christ.
Our Lord Jesus Christ died for us. When we fear others or when we believe that we see an evil spirit, we should call on the Name and Blood of Jesus Christ.
A few years ago I recall hearing on CNN that a criminal broke and enter an old lady’s home in the U.S. She called on the Holy Name of Jesus through His Precious Blood. He froze and fell on the floor. He did not harm her. The Police arrested him.
On another occasion in the U.S., as heard on CNN, a criminal entered a woman’s home. He was going to rape her. She commenced praying the Our Father. He said to her, “You are a Christian?” She replied, “Yes!” He immediately left the home.
Some may not have ended well. However, there are many more stories which we are not aware of. Never doubt and deny those stories and what religious people who practice the faith state. Some of them do their utmost to live holy lives and perform acts of love and mercy in Jesus Name. They also receive godly inspiration from God. You do not know the extent of their faith and relationship with God. May this be a lesson to you.

Actually, Valley Church is in the South. The cemetery in town was becoming over crowded, so the govt. decided to bury the dead at Valley Church which is on the southern side of the isldsn (not west) My girlfriend’s husband is a bus driver in that area and his fellow bus drivers who experienced this young woman, relayed the story to him. You actually relayed the story exactly the way I heard it and I live in the U.S.
This story is strange but interesting. I do not doubt it. Spirits of the departed do exist and roam the world in certain homes and areas. Some of them were wicked people, capitalists and now their souls are restless which is why they continue to ply their evil ways and disturb the happiness, peace and safety of those who are alive. They may also be envious that they no longer have access to God. You should know what I mean.
A research should be conducted into the record of who owned that area prior to it being developed and for traffic. Some wickedness may have taken place there in previous years.
Sadly, some years ago when Dominica was vying for independence from Great Britain the Court House and Registry were burnt and this record was obviously destroyed.
Prior to migrating to Canada I went to the Registry and got a copy of my birth certificate. How many others were unable to obtain same unless they could get it from the parish Priest in the parish where they were born?
Incidentally the Queen is celebrating her 60th Reign as Monarch, the Queen of Great Britain and the Commonwealth, countries where she is still recognized as Queen, one of it is Canada. This morning a thought ran through my mind about Dominica’s independence and what sadly ensued prior to getting it but I will save this for another time, if there is an opportunity to state it on this Website or elsewhere.
Recall there was a similar accident of a spirit at Layou. A woman was seen on the road as I read on a Dominica Website the year before. However, it appeared that no accidents were reported.
I have an advice for drivers if they drive that late on the road and Catholic ones at that. You need Holy Water and to keep some with you. Bless that area as you are approaching it; a sprinkle will do in Jesus Name, making the Sign of the Cross and calling on Jesus Name. Do not forget to pray ‘The Our Father’ and the ‘I believe in God’. Keep doing this. The demon, the evil spirit will flee in time. Have faith and trust in God! God is more powerful than His enemies.
Also, inform the Priest about this area and ask him to bless that place. Some of them may doubt it and not surprisingly so for Priests but I do not doubt that there may be an evil spirit lurking on that path, considering what has been reported. Or Pastors of other churches could also do likewise and by also reading relevant Psalms. This is no joke; not a laughing matter but one to be taken seriously. I hope you do.
Our Lord Jesus Christ said, “Fear not! I am with you always! God’s blessing, peace and safety at all times!
……..so you’re saying that the road there is haunted and our notoriously bad bus drivers who are also notoriously dangerous and also notoriously drive bad…had absolutely nothing to to with this and aren’t at fault at all, nor are they to blame for ignoring any weather conditions that they have been occurring there at the time given and depending on the wreck.
Rriiiiiigghttt. I’ll remember that.
@ uhm
You are coming to a wrong conclusion. You are also judging the drivers and assuming that they are all bad drivers. Think of the possibility of what many have stated. Do not be negative.
Ah, yes. I’ve seen many of your posts now. The religious madman/woman to end them all comes to discourse on a “jumbie” on the side of a road. Well, please enlighten us with another of your rambling, overly long, fanatical, emoticon-filled posts.
@ Sam Harris
I expect this of people as you who do not think beyond. You will not prevent me from writing the truth. The devil has your soul. You are afraid to admit that there is good and evil. If you do not believe it you may be one yourself, living a godless life. In time you will either experience it be it for all eternity. Try serving God sincerely and He will reveal those things to you.
Ghosts (spirits, 3rd/4th dimensional post residue, cross-dimensional holographic images) whatever you call them – some being bona fide Earth departed ones, are/have not necessarily been wicked.
They’re just stuck in spiritual progression and need a helping hand to move on.
But you’re right – Things of this world can/do hinder spiritual enhancement.
The obsession with “lower chakra sex;” the obsession with physical and worldly things; and the holding on to grudges upon departing the 3rd/4th dimension.
@ JT
If you are a godly, practicing Christian, you should pray for them so that they depart from this world. As I said, their souls are not at rest.
Many do not practice the faith and so they are not assisting God in the salvation of souls. One day, God will hold them responsible for this. Their eternal fate will not be happy one. Pay heed.
AMEN!!!
Am not sure what these drivers are smoking and drinking but whatever it is when you add it with speed you will definitely see jumbie, in all ethnic group wearing sari, African headpiece,carnival costume, bath suit and depending on how much joint they smoke naked flying on mop,broomstick and coconut branch.
The only Jumbie in the area are those motorist who think they have to speed because its they alone on the road at that time of the night. They driving so fast they even visions, they can hardly make out things on the side of the road. The white lady is a warning to slow down. There needs to be one under the Canefield cliff too.
ha ha DNO this is what I call taking the reporting to the NEXT LEVEL
If is not government is Jumbie – Waaaay papa Dominicans grow up and stop blaming others for your careless actions. Be responsible in every area of your lives – chupes. Jumbie what!
Dominicans the next time you drive through that area at night drive tootooni- take off All your clothes stop and open your fess for the Blond then shout bowel salop qui ous yais.
This comment made my day. Look jokes.
lmao thanks
There is am jumbie on those roads. It is called speeding.
that is so true. speeding that is the jumbie. take your time on the road.
«The story has taken hold so much that some people have sworn they will never drive through that area late at night.»
You see what you look for. I have driven that road countless times and at all hours of the day. All i have seen is fog and the occasional manicou. Well, i think i have seen cattle tied by the wayside as well.
The story said ‘late at nights….but according to u, u drive during the day.
Have you driven in the area late at night?
That is the question.
he said “all hours of the day” could refer to anytime he didnt say “during the day” or daylight
i guess the fog that is de white lady. when they drink alcohol and drive, they seeing all kinds of things. pray people pray
@ Peeping Tom
You said you have driven there at all hours of the day – not night. Therefore you cannot prove what occurred there. It is better to believe than not to believe. I hope some day you will experience it, during the day. If this happens, let us know what your reaction is.
Speed bumps should be placed on the road to lessen speeding….
Ah beh is NOW I will hold allu…
hahahahahaha….papa bordiay
ah coming to get you witch! You better run fast!
Ah Beh is NOW I will hold allu….
but if they have to stop for speed bumps then the lady will catch them or they will jam
THE ONLY JUMBIE IS THOSE DRIVERS WHO THINK THAT THEY WILL NOT GET WHERE THEY GOING IF THEY DON’T DRIVE ABOVE 1250 MPH
“Whether the story is true or not…”
YES! Because…people in Dominica are more likely to believe SUPERSTITION than perhaps the fact that it’s just a damn dangerous road on the island and people damn near REFUSE to drive safely on it.
nonsense
Maybe if you spelled the name PONT Casse the jumbie would be bewitched and go away.
LOL>>>>joke of the weekend
But it mite be true. U never know, dominica is soo full of evil. Its amazing
I wish this was beyond a joke but the comments for God’s sake! What are you people really thinking?
Perhaps you may have been bewitched to take this story for a joke; and you have. Those who are not on guard and seem to want to ignore the presence of evil end up being the ones who get caught. They only believe when they see. Good luck to you. Pity.
@ la starr
A lot of evil. Those who also renounced their faith; do not practice it; no longer recognize God; refuse to recognize God; scoff at people who worship God; say all sorts of things against the Church and commit sins against His Ten Commandments. These will deny that evil exists because they are evil themselves. God knows who they are.
