Is there a ‘jumbie’ on the Pond Casse main road?

Section of the road that claimed the life of Keyana Emmanuel in 2011

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • Sam Harris
      June 5, 2012

      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.

      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.

  16. June 4, 2012

    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.

      @ 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.

    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.

    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………

      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.

      • common sense you say

        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.

    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.

      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.

        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.

    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 ).

    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.

      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.

    ” 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!

      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. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

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.

      • Francisco Telemaque
        June 4, 2012

        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.

        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.

    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.

    • June 3, 2012

      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]?

      • Driver
        June 3, 2012

        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.

      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.

      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.

        @ 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.

        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.

      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.

        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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

It happens when you take certain drugs, when your brain becomes damaged, or when the blood drains too much from your brain.

    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

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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

        @ 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.

        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.

        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.

    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.

      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.

      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.
