Hundreds of people converged on a section of Hillsborough Street Monday afternoon to see what many claimed to be a superstitious phenomena taking place in the vicinity of Scotiabank.
An elderly woman and a female public servant were reportedly seen standing face to face since about midday.
According to reports, the public servant claimed that the elderly woman is a 'soucouyant' or witch and this is why she did not want to pass on her left side.
It is believed in Dominica folktales that if a woman is a soucouyant, no matter what the circumstances, she will not pass on the left side of a passerby.
