• Notes

  Buyei in Seine Bight, he was a very prominent and knowledgeble spirit medium. At one instance he alerted his nephews family that something bad had happened to Fulgencio in the forrest, he recommended that 4 men should go in search of him. On arrival at the spot where Fulgencio was building a canoe, the men found him bleeding profusely from an deep cut on his leg. The four men carried him home in a hammack for medical attention. On another occasion, he intervined in solving a homicide mistery case. In 1943 a man had been shut on a coconut tree. The perpetrator, in order to conseal the body, tied a heavy iron around the neck and deposited the body with the iron in the open, deep ocean. And for three days men from the community of Seine Bight search for the body with no avail. On the third day Buyei Santos Ramirez recommended that they go back to a certain location near the crime scene in the bay. On arrival at the area, the body misteriously surfaced with the heavy ballast and was found. At that point in time there were no telephones, no cellular phones available in the village. How did the Buyei know about these incidents?, where did the Buyei get his information from?
