Pumpkin - His Eyewitness Account of The Copie Duppy Story In Font Hill St Thomas | Allison Harrison

Pumpkin was a young man on the day everything changed in his home community of Font Hill in St Thomas. He was only a few feet away when only a particular section of a banana tree caught fire setting off a series of occurrences in the rural community. Pumpkin's story will keep you on the edge of your seat. #StorytellingInTheTropics #StThomas #AllisonHarrison

I remember that Copie story. It was about 1973, 1974.. it was one of the most exciting duppy stories out of Jamaica at that time. Enjoying from Canada

[@AllisonHarrisonTheSeries]

The Copie story is very interesting Natalie. Thanks for watching. 😊

Duppy is for real. I was attacked twice in my life and it took me 50 odd years to come to terms with what happened

[@AllisonHarrisonTheSeries]

Sounds like you have an interesting story to tell

[@56postoffice]

Got the 7" single where the great Count Lasher sings about this very episode, *"Font Hill Duppy"* for Coxsone Dodd's Bongo Man label, 1974.

[@AllisonHarrisonTheSeries]

Such a treasure!

[@nubiacairo8835]

I've heard a lot of Jamaican duppy story but I've never heard of this one. I grew up in Jamaica hearing duppy stories.

[@John-lx2ys]

More duppy story

[@paulinelogan2723]

True

[@headbanger_irl]

Come to think of it I think “COPIE” is the same duppy that we in Clarendon call “WENTICO”…
I think they are some how connected.
What do you think?

[@AllisonHarrisonTheSeries]

Interesting connection. Will have to look into the one from Clarendon.

[@heavenlymajesticking]

Sounds similar!!!!

[@sapphire1910]

😅

[@jennyfarrell8360]

Hilarious🤣🤣🤣😄, pumpkin should take off the mask and Ms Harrison should explain some off the things he said, it was muddled, otherwise very entertaining.Should make a Movie (The Copie Duppy at Fontil)

[@AllisonHarrisonTheSeries]

Thanks Jenny! I like the movie idea 🙏🏾😊

[@user-lf1zk8gk9u]

[@jakan6793]

[@18z74]

[@sapphire1910]

It is not a story. This was real. I was about 18 and lived in Seaforth about 2 districts away. Police and Soldiers were attacked and chased by something, not human. It was pandemonium at that time.

[@peterkruud6748]

I heard they caught him and put him in a bottle.
