I always grew up hearing about "Moruga" as the place with the "bogeyman" .."plenty Obeah" .. "moaning Ground" ..etc..
This I believe is in direct response to the fact that the Merikins were isolated and the British Colonial rulers did not want this group of "freemen" to mix with the rest of enslaved Africans to make them wise about their freedom. So the British segregated them in hope of keeping them away from the masses.
It is probably here where all the "taboo" about Moruga began taking shape ... What do you think?
