Two Soucouyants in Roseau...

On 8 June 2009, Hillsborough Street people slowly gathered at the scene of two old women. Only one thing could make hundreds of Dominicans stand up and watch two old ladies...LOO-GAH-WHOO!!!

Yup! It was alleged that these two old women were both witches unable to cross each other path due to the old folk legend. The legend states that if one soucouyant (witch) meets another old woman or witch she must pass on the other lady's left side or else they could both die or suffer severe injury.

Silly right?... Apparently not. These two women refused to move from 10 am until 6 pm. For it is on the 6th hour that their powers will be broken and the legend will be anulled.

Seen in the youtube video are the two witches Gertrude and Willia being pulled and barred by Cecil Joseph (mayor) and Sonya Felix (friend).
