Entry 11737
Go to de cemetery at a certain hour of de night and take dirt. You kin change de will of a person, put 'em under your control, dey claim, if you kin get dat dirt, you know. Get it sifted, thrown any- where where dey dwell or where visit; supposed to control their mind. You kin do dat by using dat dirt. I've seen several instances where dat was tried and it really - well, it worked all right because dey had dat belief quality.
(They just throw it around where they were?)
Just sprinkle it around where dey have to pass in and out.
The informant reports cemetery dirt taken at a certain night hour, sifted and scattered where people dwell or pass, as a claimed means of controlling their will. Personal observations are qualified by the informant's reference to belief. The interviewer's placement question remains separate.
