Answer 5

There is a Jamaican Legend about a white witch named Annie Palmer. The white witch of Rose Hall. You can go to her house in Jamaica. It's very scary. My cousin told me there's a bucket there that when you pick it up it's really heavy but there's nothing in it.

Answer 8

Jerk chicken was first made by escaped slaves who were living wild in the hills, they found that by marinating the meat in pimentos, chillis and spices they found around the place and that then by smoking the meat for a long time that the meat tasted good and lasted much longer before going off. This legend is still  alive and living well in an oil drum next to any main road in JA. Also you can import this legend to your kitchen or barbeque, very rewarding!
