Any real experiences of exorcism or black magic?

@bijouxbroussard Voodoo? I have a 3x great grandfather from Martinique who came here and supposedly practiced voodoo with Marie Laveau on the lakefront. None of the old relatives alive in my lifetime did any of that. Most of my family were/are devout Catholics.

@quitwhendone Wow ! That’s amazing. Some of my grandmother’s roots were from Haiti, and those relatives were/are devout Catholics, too, but somehow many didn’t see the rituals as conflicting.

@bijouxbroussard Yeah, I've got ancestors on both sides that came from Haiti, St. Domingue, as it was called in the 19th century. A lot of Haitians came here in the early 1800s.
