Rumours that a group of grade-six students from a primary school in St Catherine had become erratic after they fell victim to an obeah spell last week have since been denied by the institution's administration.
"Grade-Six pickney dem mussi seh the parents rub dem up with oil and give dem pencils and a bare duppy a run wild in the school and students and teachers getting sick," was one comment posted about the apparent incident on social networking site Facebook, recently.
Another user posted, "Dem have meeting about it man. A nuff foolishness a gwan up dere man,".
However, when THE WEEKEND STAR contacted the school's vice-principal she laughed and quickly dismissed such rumours as untrue.
She later explained that the behaviour of the grade-six students on the day might have been misinterpreted as them being influenced by obeah because the students were overly excited about their GSAT examinations.
" Is where you hear that?" she commented as she laughed.
