Hmm, there were some beer bottles behind the grave which, although I thought was a bit odd, I put down as litter from stupid kids. The thing is, I've NEVER heard of any voodoo around here and I've lived here all my life. You're not telling me there might actually be something to this legend?
What county/town?
Most legends have some truth at their root....see for instance the legend of the Bell Witch - not far from here in TN
No. But as long as the right people believe this kind of thing will go on.
Last survey I saw had Voodoo in every major city in the country. They do not make it a habit of revealing themselves unless they are trying to make money selling to the amateurs. If they think there is a powerful spirit somewhere they will travel.
I would say the beer bottles are from kids or "wannabes" and if you're anywhere near the south -- there's been voodoo.
