Over the last year, Robert Lalah has been traveling the island of Jamaica and presenting some interesting stories. This week we highlight the most popular stories and the others that made the top five list. The number one story. Duppy woman of New Hall

The duppy woman ran straight at me with her hands in the air! I thought to myself, all right, this is it, the duppy inside her is about to jump into me and I'll have to spend the rest of my life being called the duppy man. But just as I braced myself for the impact, someone whispered in my ear, "She come to shake your hand." A tad red in the face, I managed a smile, but must admit that I was still a bit nervous as I shook her hand. I mean, it's not every day I meet a duppy woman. A few witches, maybe, but never a real life duppy woman.

The National Road Safety Council in Jamaica was established in 1993 as a non- profit organization by public and private sector interest groups. Their mandate is twofold, to develop and implement road safety promotional activities and conduct public education programme and two to act as a lobby group for the promotion of road safety.

In fulfillment of their mandate, the National Road Safety Council launched their web site earlier this year. The website is developed, hosted, maintained and by Go-Jamaica.
