I have long been into voodoo - not practicing sticking pins in dolls of people I don't like - but the spiritual side of it. One of my themes is that we are always examining the paranormal from a culturally biased perspective. Some other cultures seem much more open to the paranormal and incorporate it much more readily into their daily lives. I have seen this first hand with certain Native American tribes. However, the Africans seem to have really obtained a high level of spirit contact. Physical mediumship there is, apparently, unequaled and has not suffered a decline as it has in our western societies.
 
Any how, here are a couple of vids.  What do you think?

I think the idea is that spirits are inhabiting the little huts and making them spin. This is done at funerals as well and the departed can come do a last dance for their loved ones in this manner.

No one, I'll check out that video soon. Some of my favorite books are about African spirituality: Sangoma, Of Water and the Spirit, and a more recent find--Called to Heal. Compelling and highly credible accounts all. 

I agree with you--people in that part of the world have a talent for seeing beyond the physical.

Thanks for the vids. First one looks legit--not sure how they could fake it without it *totally* being special effects. Second one... there is an obvious cut in the video at one point. Still, not sure how someone under them could get them turning that fast, but it is less obviously compelling in a visual way. If you saw it spin in person, though, and then were able to look under it and see that no one was in it, that would be pretty convincing!

I agree that Africans have a deep connection to the spiritual world. Lots to learn there.

The first video amazing! Why scientists don't research such phenomena once it passes first level of verification. We might use this form of energy.
