Delray Beach

Most people would have walked right by the small rock sprinkled with orange dust. But Farel Paul became paralyzed with fear. He was convinced someone cast a voodoo spell on him by leaving the rock by his car door.

Paul called 911 in April, fearing that because his son touched the rock with his foot, something bad was on the way.

"Even though you may not believe in it, they seriously believe in it and you have to treat it that way," said Police Officer Paul Pitti, who responded to the call. "This guy wouldn't even go near the car. He was freaking out. He didn't want us to go near his car."

Delray Beach police occasionally get calls from Haitian residents fearing supernatural death threats and curses. The department takes a report and leaves it at that. There are no specific records available for voodoo calls.

"You have to be professional," Pitti said. "You don't want to make things worse."...
