' The Haitian girl got very upset because she said the curse would "not work, and it is upsetting the spirits very much why I try it." '

Ooooh, Mrs. jjmcgo gave me the willies with a story yesterday. She was talking about incidents of knowing (KNOWING) the future when she was pregnant the first time. Forget the winning 50-1 shots, that was small stuff compared to this:
She went by our elderly neighbor's apartment en route to the laundry and a minute later she thought, "Gee, I haven't seen a black funeral wreath like the one on so-and-so's door since I was a kid."
When she walked past again, no wreath on the door and she met the lady who greeted her with a big smile and they talked. The next day the lady died.
