Kids run away from a dancer in trance, who is possessed by the Voodoo ghost Zongbetto, in Kptome, Benin. Traditionally, Zongbeto's work is to guard the law, so he is often referred to as a policeman. In case of problems like theft, he can indicate who is guilty. Voodoo is a very complicated religion; often not understood by westerners. It is estimated that Voodoo is about 4000 years old. Voodoos' cradle in West Africa is Benin and Togo...September 2006..MORE PICTURES AVILABLE ON REQUEST
