Aight, now that my brain ain't swimming around in my skull anymore, I'll expound a bit in a broad sense.
Aight, first off a "Jumbie" is pretty much a West Indian version of a ghost or spirit but they manifest in physical forms, not the spookey, whispey white ghost American type shyt. Jumbies are often malevolent beings that cast dark shadows and look to harm and at times look to inhabit folk since they are often tied to people and areas that died in wretched ways and fukked up circumstances.
Going off of tales from the older folk who grew up in them old times where there was no electricity and modern illumination like you'd see today, Jumbies often came out at night and frightened/chased/killed hapless victims and those who wouldn't identify one or give 'em the okie doke and get away since they follow a bit of protocol and ask/talk to you before they do bullshyt in most cases.
If you were referring to the story in general when me and my friends saw one of these spirits.....well that's a bit of a story and I'm prone to fleshing them shyts out, so I'll get down on that later if you respond, but we pretty much stopped for this woman to give her a ride on this long winding stretch of road that's next to a rocky seaside that has seen alot of vehicular deaths in that area due to lack of illumination, speeding and.....Jumbies, from what alot of folk say. "The woman in the wedding dress" Jumbie from what I remembered as a kid was about some poor lady who on her way to her own wedding got ran over and left for dead so she haunts that spot, looking rides and souls and we nearly got claimed, but managed to get out of dodge in time.
Also, Happy Birthday, man. Hope you enjoy it'n'shyt.
