[shotta 20]

Older people could still get "bad eye" shotta?

I'm not sure, i'll find out and post back.

[nervewrecker]

The only time I ever heard the word "jarray" being used was by one of our estate hands. He would take a string and, while lying down, measure the distance between his navel and one nipple, then compare it to the distance between his navel and his other nipple. If there was a difference between the two measurements, he would claim to be suffering from "narra", and in need of "jarray"...

Spike, that man def don't know what he talking about or doing.

Jharay - This is done to remove 'Bad eye' or 'Maljo' from someone WITHOUT any klphysical contact.

Nara is what you get if you 'improperly' lift up something heavy. I think some muscle or something 'Moves' and causes pain and diarrhea. To fix this problem, you have to get it rubbed, by someone who's experienced in this. It can also be fixed with the right combination of physical exercise.

Trust me, i have had both problems numerous times.

jarray dont fix narah lol, you need to get your belly rubbed.

does them broom sticks really grow when you are jarrayed btw?

[~Vēġó~]

^^^yes....and bamboo strips bend!!! amazing!

[shotta 20]

The sticks grow in length depending on how bad the 'maljo' is.

If it's bad, it may grow about 3"-4"
If it's slight, it may grow about 1" or so

[ilove3]

Never really heard of the sticks growing...

[nervewrecker]

saw it grow but was wondering if there was a scientific explanation...

Ok guys, anyone here ever woke up with scrapes/marks or bruises with no recollection of them? Not to say I get nightmares with them either. And I don't drink per say, well not to any extent to lose memory...and it isn't the gf doing it.

Thing is, it doesn't hurt at all...but if i'm walking bareback or just finished showering i'll see one, maybe two. Started as a scratch on my arm just around my birthday but today I found another on my shoulder looking like a blood clot sorta.

What y'all think...Soucouyant bizness?

Mosquito or bed bug bite you & you scratch it in your sleep, scratch too hard & scrape yourself.

I hung myself out the window in fyzo sec & get girls....imagine if the berry was in my hand

Your nails dont have to be long. If you sweat during your sleep / dream you skin will be soft and easy to dig, wont take much effort to do it.

[rollingstock]

Listen to nerve he knows about sweaty sleeping men

[nervewrecker]

well its the only logical explanation. when your skin wet its soft, like after you finish bathe. but no it easier to come in here & bawl jumbie rape him.

[Trini Hookah]

Because I will bend in awkward positions to scrape myself while sleeping right?

And they aren't regular scrapes, one even resembled a lightning bolt

Level hug up prayer beads tonight oui.

And don't take no offense nerve, was all kicks...I only posted in here if anyone ever had similar experiences that's all, if I wasn't concerned I wouldn't have posted.

[redmanjp]

what about lying on yuh bed then trying to getup only to find yuh can't move at all!
I can still see things and sometimes i hearing sounds or vibrations. I used to experience this a lot as a child.

but cud be sleep paralysis so i eh know

only weird thing i experienced was when i was still in secondary school. i was in my room doing work and suddenly i got this feeling like i wasnt alone in my room. pause started to raise and i was feeling rell bummy. i lit my confirmation candle and strap my rosary beads around my neck and started to pray. after a while it subsided then i went to sleep.

Friday morning I woke up at 4am to go for a run in the savannah...while opening the door I saw a very pretty well dressed woman walk past on the street. So I decide to follow her and watch ...suddenly when she turn the corner she turned into an old woman with a 17th century style dress.

Friday I saw a box move right infront of me from right to left.
