| Many folk beliefs involve methods for keeping ghosts, or duppies, from returning to haunt living people. |
|
| I was scared stiff of deads and duppies and ghosts and the departed and I couldn't sleep at nights for fear of not waking up in the morning. |
|
| What matters was that duppies were, as far as the customs and beliefs of my world then, a reality, and she gave me the tools, if needed, to neutralize them and my fear. |
|
| Older Duppies who've lived through previous layoffs seem prepared for the emotional and financial shifts that a protracted job loss can bring. |
