#JuliaBrown #ForgottenLives #Voodoo
Recommend by me đ Thank You so much you always do such an amazing job on the videos â€ïž but to understand voodoo is to know that she indeed took the whole town with her (still do this day they are unable to build anything in that town) everything they build falls down or just wonât go up AT ALL the state of Louisiana have tried to years and years but just canât
Another amazing recommendation! Thanks very much for all the support !
Forgotten Lives youâre welcome, thanks to u as well
Keavia Washington -- I think you have an overactive imagination, at least in this instance. You give the voo-doo priestess powers more potent than that of God, for crying out loud. Um, I just don't think so.
Woah!
That's amazing.
Amazing video for sure.
Julia was warning them.
Esp. not Ill will.
Warned nothing as she could not cast a spell on slave masters to be nice to slaves or too free them
G M worn your own people only not white supremacy who still shooting BM weekly 2020 , love đ from France đ«đ·

I donât think she was necessarily âcursingâ the town as much as she was giving a warning that the town was going to be gone not long after her.
K3rbi3 20 Iâm cursed with your beauty.
Premonition that's what she had
Tedkeeda Booker Yes!! Perfect wording
The sight...
SilverBack Gorilla Gang you a simp đ€·
She was not cursing the town, she was telling a prophecy but no one understands it.
The blessings of the gifted by GOD often get called 'curses' or witchs of evil. Only GOD can heal, any gift of healing is through GOD in His servants
She was a Root Worker, and was powerful. Many of our people still are Root Workers, and they still work in secret. Also, I believe that she was warning the people, and not curse the town. However, people will lie to bring in tourist. Great story!!!!
Indeed ! Thanks for watching đ
I believe this frfr. I get so frustrated watching these videos because we have no idea who and what we are as a ppl. This hurt and is very scary because alot of ppl have been accused of being crazy. And probably was not.
Yes, Hoodoo, from Native US Blacks. Not Voodoo from Haiti.
When a hurricane wants to come. Nothing will stop it. Julia did not summon that hurricane. She was only trying to warn the people
YUP
Her people but no where to hide itâs the work off our Lord
Erma Hamilton no which craft is done through sprints who tell you the past and future but you have to sell out too Satan to actually see peopleâs life
@@jaajaarogers9101 who is this Satan you speak of? Not everyone believes in your God thus knows your Satan. Stop with your hate, you don't know all there is to know in this world so stop acting like you do.
Jaajaa Rogers :::hun,So did Jesus sell out when he Told Judas, go on and do what you need to do.I will have dreams and visions just like the Bible said he would pour out visions and dreams among. Do you think I like seeing whatâs going on with strangers I donât know at time Uh, No itâs not a wonder sight at times..Its the tools and lack of faith and patience and many donât live righteously they are crookit and not of good intentions and old ways or methods and using other God like for gods..And charging before helping ,it there job to bless for information or reap your just reward.
Thatâs my great great great grandma she had one child!!
Awesome!!
Tell us more!
Really that's amazing
Was she as pretty as you ?
I rather hear the history from you please. As a Black woman I know first hand it's history that you can only get from the elders in the family. So I'm sure you had those discussions with great aunt, uncles and your grandparents
This was a very gifted woman. I think she had clairvoyance and saw the storm coming, or, felt it coming in her bones... Some people are more connected than others to the pulse of our beautiful earth. Healers are good people with good intensions and have deeper understandings of the unknown. I don't believe she brought that storm onto the town. It was simply a foretelling.
She was just in tune with the earth a lot of the slaves that were in Florida Louisiana and the Carolinas were brought there because they knew how to use the tide and moon to farm crops near the water their called gulla geechie
I agree
People can literally smell when rain is coming
@@cecemiles222
You canât âsmell rainâ. That smell comes off the plants when rain water hits them, it travels quite far and thatâs how you can tell itâs about to pour.
@Zhara Moreira did it work
She had a premonition.Many people get them,even you.The thing about these premonitions that they are ominous,making one very đŁ uncomfortable.A wave of dread will come upon you.This is your gut instinct kicking in.
I have them a lot.
It's the holy spirit guiding you
@@kiara198923 Your a chosen vessel. Very gifted đđżđ!! Blessings upon you always
@@kiara198923 I have a lot of them also. However, I feel they are all over the place. I'll have random visions or dreams that don't make sense but then I'll find out that a lot of them come true or connect in some way. It's weird; like this "gift" is finding it's way and not quite structured yet. I even had a psychic tell me that I have ESP, yet I didn't tell her about my visions or dreams. She just asked my name and started reading me. Plus, she doesn't charge money and does not advertise. You have to know somebody who knows somebody, in order to speak with her. So she had nothing to gain, which made me believe her reading. However, I just wish that my visions and dreams made more sense.
I have them and sometimes they cause me to have anxiety attacks or fits of crying.
"Aunt Julia died on the 28th of Octember....."

She didn't curse the town...she healed them people with her gift over the years...she was a Yemoja Priestess... Orisha of motherhood , water, lakes, shipwrecks, survivors. If they would have listened to her , got to know her personally maybe they would have survived and got the heck out of there.
Please dont pass misinformation ON here unless you have 1st hand acct of this lady being a Priestess of my Iya Yemoja in the Orisha traditions..Im from New Orleans, in those days same as my Grandmother Was a "traiteuse" and practiced Hoodoo..we just cant throw a title on someone without the proper knowledge on someone

Beautiful!
Sister Brown was warning the town folk...I can relate to her warnings!
Where are you Wendy? Gill is an uncommon last name. My family are mostly in Alabama but a lot of us have migrated to neighboring states. I came to Georgia but Alabama is calling to me again after many years. If I was a betting woman, I would say we are related. â€
She was obviously psychic and foresaw the hurricane. She just put her words into a song and people saw it as though she was putting a curse on the town.
She was trying to warn them, she saw visions would be my guess.
Perhaps she had a premonition and sang to let others know.
Cheryll Hamilton my arse
She may have had Rhumitoid arthritis felt the low pressure system in her joints & bones , thus warning of a storm coming a few days ahead of time??
@@blazefairchild465
Can you explain a little more about arthritis and feeling the weather is about to change? I heard someone say that they knew when it would rain because they would feel pain from their Arthritis. I laughed because I never understood the connection
@@majormediaproductions ok sure I have had Rhumitoid Arthritis since I was 4 years old. A day or two before rain or snow or a strong storm. I feel pain in my spine, & finger &toe joints, then my arm & legs, on the day of it's my ribs & my whole body. It is a auto immune illness that creates swelling in all tissues in the body. Because we are most often swollen ,a tiny bit of low pressure in the atmosphere is like hammering on are joints & bones with a hammer. I noticed as a child the when the weatherman said a low pressure system would blow over the next day or 2 that I had already felt it. I spoke to my Dr about it & he said he heard many say that . Now years later and much reading I have come to thinjing of when you walk on the moon you feel lighter. When you swim in salt water you fell lighter & many with my illness do too. I feel , as do many others that low pressure, presses you down at the tiniest bit, but we with any type of inflamtion feel it, like being crushed. This also goes for migraines that are not triggered by food or hormones. They are sometimes called low pressure heartache s.
I bet it was a bunch of Karens causing trouble with her đ€Ł

@@jaajaarogers9101 Voodoo is native for African people and I enjoy it's loređ€·đżââïžđ€Ł
Maybe she had a premonition, and didn't know how to tell people. Maybe she knew they wouldn't believe her.
This was a fascinating story wish there was more information on her.
I think this is most likely the case!
She must have had the Weather Eye. By watching the sky & how the clouds look, you can tell what kind of weather you're gonna get.
@@labelledamedumanor4876 now that makes sense, you can always tell if a storm is coming by the feel of the air, the sound of the wind and the way the animals react. You just feel it, less in the city but out in the woods you know.
She did not create the song one or two days before her death it was weeks or month before
that is hard to do even to day
I have or Im very clairevoyance, it does indeed scare people
Ok so as I recall he mentioned that some people came to her funeral out of guilt for the way they treated her. So it couldâve been a warning for vengeance. I donât think she had control over the hurricane at all but I do believe that she had some sort of premonition about it and the devastation that it would bring. I donât think a lot of the town people like her very much outside of her own people. She may have been tired of being used for only her healing abilities from her practice and a lot of people may have feared her because they believe that the magic that she did was pure evil and not of God. This was also rural south Louisiana in 1915 so also consider the racial inequality and lack of civil rights for African Americans.
Amen. God sent that storm..Vengence is mine said the Lord. They mistreated and used her. Never paid for her services and she lived in the swamps. Those were not nice people and that's probably half the reason they were all sick. To attend a FUNERAL out of Guilt, the nerve!!! My grams (rest her soul) used to always say God sits High but LOOKS LOW. I'm glad someone else came to the same conclusion that I did. Queen Julia Brown is a Legend now. :)
There were horrible hurricanes throughout that region all the time.
Hoodoo Priestess don't destroy towns and there some who practice the dark arts. Julia Brown is probably clairvoyant and got fragments and tried to warn the town. Most likely the Town people thought she is a dotty old woman.
Exactly only God can do that
What do you mean by fragments?
Amraya Baptiste you can get portions of future occurrences. In dreams for some people. Also synchronicity etc. But they could be alternative futures. But if the towns energy frequency was aligned to having them experience a hurricane than thatâs would happen anyways.
I read this in a British accent...lol donât ask me why
I think she got the messages of a storm coming but she luckily died before the storm and most of town died in chaos and pain during. She was trying to warn but they just feared her and took it in through fear filters
That hurricane was horrible. Meteorology is something we take for granted today, but one hundred or even fifty yeara ago we couldn't just look on the cellular, radar or tele for weather conditions. People relied on shipping to get news of hurricanes and sometimes that could take days. This storm killed around 275 people, but about fifteen years earlier in 1900, Galveston, Tx was struck by the deadliest hurricane to strike the USA. I believe about two thousand peoples perished in that storm. I love these stories and histories.
Believe it or not. Texas is about to get hit again. Come back to this comment when it does.
@@615BlackBarbie Texas is a prime target for hurricanes as is anywhere that borders the gulf of mexico and the atlantic ocean, including great britain and iceland. In the pacific basically everywhere is fair game, so its something that has to be dealt with
Nicole Royalty I live in east Texas and Hurricane Hanna is a Category 1. Weâll get heavy rain but nothing close to Hurricanes Allen, Harvey or Ike.
@@vinijohnson4695 You see what's happening right?
Hmm interesting...
Being a medical professional and a Christian, I would love to have talked to her about her remedies. There is a renewed interest in herbal healing. She sounded like a beautiful human being who deserved more respect.
Nah
That's witchcraft! No "Christian" would partake in such practices!

What an interesting story! She must've been very good at what she did to be loved and not one of those who had to go from place to place.
Glad you enjoyed!
Call me crazy but I don't see it as LOVE when someone lives isolated in the swamps. I wasn't there when this happened. But I think the town tolerated her because they needed her & she was good at her gift. She was soo good at the gift God gave her, HE took the town out because they mistreated her. The only HEALER (closet person to a doctor) in town and she lived alone in the woods/swamps and no one saw fit to pay her. Not saying she was broke or needed the money, but right is right. She had property every where but lived there. I believed she was used and tolerated.
People be thinking this stuff ainât real.
And those people would be ignorant
As a Haitian I must you guys for the most part arent even spiritual enough to understand the matrix of voodoo. Thank God that voodoo is my culture.
@@unfilteredthoughts2004 Louisiana voodoo is very real and spiritual as well, although media of it has skewed the real deal in Western culture. Very sad.
It's so real đ
2:22 The reason why she was a midwife and healer is because đŻ% of black women were mid-wives in America.
to call her just a witch is like saying aliens built they pyramids . They do this sort of thinking because 90% of Earth history was removed from the classrooms.
BUT AFRICANS ARE NOT IN AMERICA because they had a mean catwalkđ âđâđ âđ. this fact is what created racism. nobody else đcould have done the job.
The elite of Europe only had faith in Blacks. period They paid and stole blacks because THAT WAS THE ONLY PEOPLE OF VALUE TO THEM.
sugar cane & rice dont grow in Europe where would they have the notion to be planters? Now the USA offer visa for people with special knowledge because the UN frowns of stealing people.
We pay the price for envy since then
their ancestors took the Greek and the Roman advice; you want shit done right. đđœ Get black people. THE LADY CAME WITH KNOWLEDGE and that is all her story nothing else
It's more likely she had an omen and was trying to warn the community the only way she knew, she didn't seem to have a problem with the people there so why would she want to destroy them.
A nasty comment because she was Black?
How is that a nasty comment? She could have had a premonition and wanted to warn people. Keep in mind at the time that area was very Bible centric and hoodoo wasnât accepted by most of the town
Beth Parker @
Beth Parker 2w2
She isnât make the the storm or Hurricane as thatâs been going on from day one in USA đșđž itâs cursed land way before black race or white race got their she could only see things warning â ïž her people
It must have been very hard years ago when poorer people had no proper medical care. Its good that those people who knew how to use plants such as lavender could help a little.
For many centuries women have been thought to practice witchcraft or blackmagic, out of people's ignorance of the laws of nature
Need more natural healing
So many people don't have
health care
I grew up with natural remedies and they worked
I'm a nurse and a Christian, I use herbs for myself as much as possible. I would have loved talking to Julia, she sounded like a nice person.
There is so much connection that people don't see or understand.
That eerie song was a dierge " death song " Scottish in origin (I think) to sing someone else's dierge before their death was like a curse, hastening death.
Damn that bleek
Also sounds similar to the Banshee of Irish folklore.
I don't think she was cursing the town. I think it was a warning but it didn't come out correctly. I've not heard of her. Thank you!!
Thanks for watching!
@@ForgottenLives You're welcome!!
I think it was a warning too
She seemed to be liked by a lot of people, so I'd say it was a warning.
We needed Julia Brown in the early part of 2019 here in America to warn us of this cosmic, economic, and political storm upon us.
It's always a curse when a person of color achieved something that gained attention. When it was a White person they discovered or invented. I love the video and how you put it out there.
Another professional victim here u
FACTS
As I said in jr high, why always heroic victory when army won against natives, but cowardly massacre by natives when army lost? Got sent to principal office
@@andreahmendez5688 because the first was 2 militaries fighting the second was a military killing civilians. You canât seriously not see any difference.
@@PatriotBrunchcast No... I said what I said
Maybe Julia was so connected to the "supernatural" she knew she saw a premonition. She happened to die around the time of the storm, days likely passed, her funeral and the storm.
Still need to believe some are connected to another realm, but makes more sense.
No. Madame foresaw what was coming but because the town was ,once again, filled with ingrates and racists who behaved accordingly towards her....she kept the warning to herself-possibly stroking the storm ensuring it's verocity. She took the warning with her to her body's grave.
Interesting story Julia Brown sounds like a good woman to me
Really great Forgotten Life here. I honestly believe she was warning them of what she was forseeing and was hastening her own death in giving that warning.
I remember hearing about this once growing up and now wished I had known to pay attention. You are covering some really great people.
Glad you enjoyed!
I do not think that she cursed the town. Perhaps she had a vision that after her death half the town would go with her. She may not have had more than a glimpse of what was to come. And wove that into her song. This was an interesting video. Thank you again.
That's exactly what I was thinking. She probably had a premonition about the storm occurring right after her death.
@@AllSeeingScorpio Problems premonition is most people see fragments of things to come. Julia saw the destruction of town at her death probably not the cause. During singing she was trying to piece it together.
@Starr Childthats sad. im so sorry for your loss
@Starr Child so sorry for your loss
Twins and if you are very close to someone can have
a premonition and feel when something is going to
happen to their love ones

Noway she cursed town..they are using her to explain a nature disaster..sad! Great story I will subscribe, I love stories I never heard ofđ
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks :)
I do not believe that she caused the hurricane. She had a lot of friends in that town. she was simply trying to warn them the best way she knew how.
No. Madame foresaw what was coming but because the town was ,once again, filled with ingrates and racists who behaved accordingly towards her....she kept the warning to herself-possibly stroking the storm ensuring it's verocity. She took the warning with her to her body's grave.
It seems to me rhat Julia was highly gifted with foresight and being intuned with the universe she fortold the storm. Yet the people did not understand and would rather demonize her instead of respecting her life and the contribution she made to that society. The universe was with her and all the elements.
I remember this story. I went on a swamp tour in la place. Her burial gravesite is in the middle of the swamp. It was crazy to see.. the story was sad.
I think a song like that would make me uncomfortable too. What a colorful life she lived. Not everyone can claim to be a voodoo priestess (shivers). I wonder if she predicted it coming (warning or just knew) or cursed the town or if the towns people made it up đ€? Always interesting FL Thank you đ
Thanks for watching!
She practiced HOODOO, not voodoo from Haiti. Hoodoo was herbal related.
Madame practiced Hoodoo, an ancient Niiji or Foundational cultural practice, not Voodoo, a Haitian religion.
I was just about to switch off for bed and then this popped up. Guess sleep can wait.
Same here!
Hope you enjoyed!
@@ForgottenLives as always yes
Lol
I wonder how much of a curse there was beforehand? Details not recalled until the storm hit and by then the idea of her giving a warning-- not a curse-- was lost in the wake of the tragedy. An excellent episode! Well done as always-- thanks for all your hard work!
Some people always want to think that Blacks curse, but Blacks were healers and geniuses.

Thereâs also the legend of Marie LaVou, the Witch Queen of New Orleans! Songs of her made popular in the 1970s.
Sounds interesting!
I like her
Isn't that the character used in American horror story. It's real? Wow
little Crowders most of American horror story characters like killers , voodoo priestess are based on actual killers
@@KMilanTv yes i think you are right, Kathy Bates starred as her
I think Julia was keeping the town safe. She was warning everyone before her death.
In ancient times AFRICANS learned to read the sun, moon and stars. With that knowledge, they also learned to read things that happened before a storm. Benjamin Banneker a black MOOR created the ALMANAC which predicts.
I think she's was told of the storm via spirits and was giving the best warning she could, example- maybe the spirits wouldn't allow her to tell exact details.
Sounds like Aunt Julia was warning them.
Portent
This was fantastic! I loved it. History like this is something that really gets me. Am subscribing!
Thanks FL,
Yet another very interesting story.
I had never heard of Julia before now.
This was the sort of happening that creates a legend. Just imagine how the survivors must have felt.
I would have been pretty freaked out!
It's a reminder to be nice to your local wise woman...
You never know what might happen!

And PAY that woman for services rendered!!! lol
I grew up seven miles from Rudock. it still has its own Interstate exit, but that is only because of the boat launch there. There is not one building to this day in that area other than some Fish Camps. It's a beautiful swamp area with great wildlife, hunting and fishing!!! thanks for posting this video!! I didn't know the real history behind it. I knew it was a logging town that dried up but didn't know it was because of a hurricane. Should have figured. It was amazing to see how high the water levels got back there after Hurricane Katrina. You could see the water level line 20 feet up on the interstate bridge and all the cypress trees that have since come back.
Thank you for sharing this :-)

I wonder if her song was referring to the town not having medical attention when she died??
Interesting!
Mmmmmm! That's a smart view.
I thought that too until they mentioned the storm

I went there in 2018....both the cemetery and house are still intact. You canât go inside, but you can view them from a guided boat tour. Very cool to see in person should you get the opportunity.

This was great! Thank you for the videos you put out there for us!

What an interesting story that of Julia Brown. I think there are few people who have special gifts.
I think she probably had a dream or vision of the town being destroyed.
The Little Wood made house reminds me of the Disneyâs the princess and the frogs Mama odies house .
Came here from Brief Case and I am so glad I did! Such an interesting channel. Subscribed. Keep it up!
Great story, and narrative. Thank you đ
Her Visions
Showed Her The Storm
But Even Today No Body Listens
Like the wise women of old, later branded "witches," she was a scapegoat. Women with knowledge and power were very scary to certain people. They still are.
Itâs amazing to hear stories like this. Respects to Julia Brown
Thankyou for your uploads. They're interesting & made well.

another brilliant installment! I found this one particularly engrossing as I live in New Orleans.
I hope to be the subject of an episode of "Forgotten Lives" someday....
Have you checked out Noladeej or Atun Shei Films? Support local 'Tubers!
Thanks very much! And maybe !
I thank u. I love history, and I enjoy stories of old coming out if Louisiana. I don't think she'd harm the townspeople. It's just something that happened.
Thanks for the upload and I love it!
Awesome doco bud, as are all of yours. Cheers.
Another very interesting story. I donât think she would curse the town if she was well liked and respected. Maybe she could sense things others couldnât, being a healer.

Awesome documentary Thank you so much for this information
I really enjoyed this , I think it was just coincidence that the storm came same day Julia was set to be buried, the haunting I believe itâs from the un rested souls that didnât get to cross over .
Thank you for mentioning that Voodoo is actually for healing.
Thank you for sharing Julia's fascinating story. She seems like she must have been a capable midwife & healer to have been accepted in the town, but as we all know these types of powerful females were often treated with suspicion.
Songs are an integral part of the Voodoo religion and new songs are considered prophecy... I wonder what she was actually singing? I would suspect a warning, not a curse.
Thanks for the comment!
How have I never heard of her? Great story. Thanks for sharing! đđđ
My pleasure!
I love all your cases and stories that you've uploaded. I live in Asia so i have never heard of all those stories or other cases of criminal /mystery in America before. Utmost interesting. You are one of my favourites.
Thanks very much if you have any stories from Asia you'd like to recommend would be awesome!
@@ForgottenLivesHi. Sure i will!! Will email you. Thank you!!!
Thank you for your videos You are a great narrator and they are interesting and informative.
Thanks very much!
Back in the mid 19 century , a hurricane was rare and the strength being CATAGORY 4 was very unusual. Many people never say or lived through a storm that strong. A Cat 4 hurricane has 150 MPH winds so the debris and downed trees would be numbing to the senses.and tales would abound as to the causes of the destruction.
Actually hurricanes have been going on since the oceans formed and the weather conditions were favorable for it. There was Camille that was an extremely strong storm back in the 60âs if I recall correctly and the Galveston hurricane was the most deadly in the us and that was back around 1900
Thank-you as always đâ€ïž
I've watched this on Netflix, it was a trilogy of incidents that happened in the past and l wanted to recommend to my friends but couldn't find it or even remember what they it was called, then this was now recommended for me to watch oh brilliant.
Tyvvm....I believe the song was a warning. She helped so many local people that didn't do any harm.
"I'm going to die and take the whole town with me" could happily mean they attend her funeral..
Omg your channel is amazing! Glad I found it!
Your work in bringing us these stories is appreciated, thank you.
Thanks for watching :)
@@ForgottenLives đđđđđđđđđ
She didn't curse the town.... Most likely.... She was given the gift of sight from the ancestors & she knew what was to come â€đ€đ
There are righteous returns or curses as you call them. If you act in return, you are justified and receive no harm upon you. Madame could have very well brought the curse upon them and, based on the towns anti socalled black racist treatment of her and their disrespect Madame would have been justified.
Agreed fascinating story! Hope you do more like this. đđ
Thanks, will do !
Wot an amazing story love your narration and the pictures that go with it stay safe and I'll see u next week âșïž
Great to hear it!
Thank you for this... Born and raised here in New Orleans. I have never heard if Madame Brown. Will definitely do further research on her and her life. âđ
If she was well liked in the town then she wouldn't curse it. Definitely a warning and maybe she didn't know how just that it would be right after her death.
Simple and common things struck the town but people are so superstitious that everything happened is written of as a curse by local woman like always just to spice up tourist interest.
I believe she had a kind heart and the rumors were just gossip.
I just found this channel, and I love it!
Happy to hear it :)
My suspicion is that she was doing what most song writers do: writing about her feelings. To me it sounds like a woman who felt she was doing so much for the town and yet they didn't respect her for it. She probably felt like the town was going to die without her there to heal them and was mourning the lives that would be lost because she was dead
I agree with ur perspectiveđŻ
yeah RiiiGHT
No. Madame foresaw what was coming but because the town was ,once again, filled with ingrates and racists who behaved accordingly towards her....she kept the warning to herself-possibly stroking the storm ensuring it's verocity. She took the warning with her to her body's grave.
Note to self, listen to what elders say a little more closely! Humans have the innate ability to come up with wild explanations to things that are totally out of our control. Instead of a random natural disaster that took innocent lives, the citizens found something to blame it on. We still do it today. Usually with a more modern technological reason, but we still look for a meaning in randomness. Then again, maybe she had motivation we aren't aware of...that's what makes folk tales so captivating! Love it! Such an interesting story. Thank you for explaining the importance of the folk healer and not demonizing her gift of healing! Her practicing voodoo, even though it is still widely practiced, often puts people on edge due to the stigma it has. Great work!

I don't think Julia cursed the town. Hurricanes happen all the time. The timing is just a coincidence.
R . U. Sure? đȘïžđ§ A fluke yes, true. But you never know....
@@tinyGrim1 It's possible she had a premonition about the destruction of the town, but I can't see her cursing the town and the people who loved her.
@@bettyjames4155 yeah,I said nothing of curses.
@@tinyGrim1 I'm sorry. I guess I just misunderstood your response a little.
@@bettyjames4155 aww thanks, a coincidence , maybe a premonition, but no curses , I appreciate you responding , I guess I was a bit vague, and one could have thought that, plus, to be honest I was being a little silly. But no evil curses. âźïžâźïžđ
