content: Years ago, my brother had a bantu housekeeper (in South Africa) and she used to put this white paint-like stuff on her face every day and walk around the house like that. When I'd visit and see her suddenly appear in the dimly lit passage like an apparition, I'd almost have a bloody heart attack. And it wasn't even painted on neatly, but just daubed in a random way. She also insisted there were evil spirits in one part of the house. She's dead now, died of TB like many of them do.
