The Infamous Washington DC woman[Josephine V Gray] known as black widow in the voodoo world


Her juju killing stories:

Who would believe that in these enlightened times the age-old fear and superstition of Witchcraft could be used to manipulate and control so many people. Here we have a case spanning more than 24 years were a would-be practitioner of Voodoo used that fear and superstition, not through religious zeal (as has mainly been the case throughout history) but simply through avarice and financial gain. This is the true story of Josephine Gray.

Josephine Gray a 55 year old mother of six children, portrayed herself as a Bible-reading Christian, a regular user of the local church, but to the relatives and friends of her two dead husbands and a lover, she is known as the “Black Widow”, named so after the female spider that kills its mates.

On the 29th July 2002, Josephine Gray was charged pending trail, not for the murders of her husbands and lover, but on Federal Mail and Wire fraud charges connected with the $165,000 she received from their Life Insurance Policies.

In the early morning hours of March 3rd 1974, Josephine’s first husband Norman Stribbling was murdered in his car near to block 1500 on River Road in Montgomery County, Maryland. He was found with a single .32 caliber gunshot wound to his head. Evidence at the scene showed that Stribbling may have known his assailant and had probably been talking to the person prior to his death. Circumstantial evidence indicated that his wife Josephine might have been involved. At the time of the killing, Josephine was having an affair with a man called William Robert Gray, who was also implicated in the murder.

Josephine and William Gray were subsequently charged with Conspiracy to Commit Murder, but the trial never went to court. Some say that Josephine used Witchcraft and Voodoo to intimidate witnesses not to testify. As a result, many got cold feet and moved away from Maryland refusing to give evidence. The authorities with no physical link to the murder were forced to drop all charges and release the suspects.

Not long after the charges had been dropped, Josephine as the sole beneficiary of Stribbling's Life Insurance Policy, made an Accidental Death claim against the John Hancock Life Insurance Company, she received $16,000 in payment. In November 1975 just over a year after the death of her husband, Josephine married her lover William Gray. Together they purchased a new home using $14,500 of her claim as a down payment for the house.

In the mid-1980’s, a young man called Clarence Goode Jr. took up lodgings in the Gray’s household. According to police reports, Goode was described as Josephine Gray's cousin with whom she began an affair. Over the next few years the Gray’s marriage deteriorated and by the end of the decade William Gray began to fear for his own life. He became convinced that his wife and Goode were planning to kill him and after a furious argument in August of 1990, he decided it might be safer to move out and live on his own. This action however led to more conflict and threats from Josephine and Goode, sometimes physical, causing Gray to file various assault charges against them.

One such incident happened on the 5th of October 1990 after court proceedings on one of the assaults. Gray later told detectives that Josephine drove up behind him and flashed her lights, motioning for him to pull over. Gray tried to ignore her, but she then drove her car up along-side his. As he glanced over, Goode who had been crouched in the passenger seat raised and leveled a handgun at him. Gray immediately slammed on his brakes, reversed his direction of travel and rapidly fled the area. A warrant was later issued for the arrest of the Josephine and Goode.

On the 4th of November 1990, William Gray moved into 12626 Grey Eagle Court in Germantown, Maryland. Witnesses would later testify that this new change of address had been prompted out of fear for his life. Less than a week later on the 9th of November, William Robert Gray was discovered dead lying face down on the floor of his new apartment. He had been shot twice with a .45 caliber weapon, once in the chest and once in the neck.

During the investigation Josephine was interviewed by Montgomery County Police Detectives after witnesses came forward casting doubts on her whereabouts during the time of his murder. When questioned she denied owning a .45 caliber handgun and any involvement in her husband's death. On the 28th of November police obtained a search warrant for her home at 17717 Stoneridge Drive, Gaithersburg, Maryland. During the search, Detectives found a single round of .45 caliber ammunition in one of her purses. They also found voodoo dolls pierced with needles resembling her friends and relatives.

Earlier that year the Police had reopened the Stribbling case at the request of his family relatives. Reports show that two of his brothers had given statements to the effect that: “each had been approached by Josephine and William Gray, who offered them money to kill Stribbling. Before his death, a detective tried to interview William Gray and court papers revealed that: “At first Gray had balked, but about a month before he was killed, he confided that he feared Josephine Gray would hire Goode or someone else to kill him”.

As the Police continued with their enquiries several other witnesses came forward. Investigators learned from other family members that Josephine Gray “allegedly” practiced Witchcraft and Voodoo, and this was the reason why many who had given statements in 1974, had been unwilling to testify at her trial. One of William Gray's sisters told police that when her brother and Josephine were under investigation for the Stribbling murder, Josephine told them that everything would turn out fine as long as she continued practicing voodoo.

Other relative believed that she cast spells to convert her lovers into killers, making them willing to do her bidding. "She was dealing in Witchcraft and Voodoo,” a former wife told the Washington Post: "She must have been feeding him something to make him do what she said, he wasn't himself". After hearing about William Gray’s death in the newspapers, another witness contacted the police and described how Josephine had tried to hire her services as a Voodoo Priestess to "kill" him. The police then put a wiretap on the witnesses’ telephone in order to recorded further conversations with the suspect. In one of the calls they recorded Josephine cursing police investigators and agreeing that Clarence Goode was her weak link.

In the spring of 1991, Josephine Gray and Clarence Goode were arrested and charged with the murder of William Gray. The detective who obtained and served the warrant for there arrest noted in his reports that: “Josephine showed no emotion and asked no questions about how her husband of the last 15 years had met his death”. Despite their growing concerns, the police still lacked physical evidence to link them with the murder, and when witnesses again changed their stories, this case like the last never went to trial and all charges had to be dropped.

Once the charges had been dropped, Josephine denied that she practiced voodoo or anything of the kind: "I just thank God”, she told the Associated Press at the time, “Jesus Christ had enemies too, so when I follow him I know I’m going to have enemies, but when I appeared here in this courtroom, there were angels all around me." Later as the sole beneficiary of William Gray’s Life Insurance Policy, she collected from the Minnesota Life Insurance Company another $51,625.

Through the early 1990’s, Josephine and Goode continued to live together making themselves out to be cousins. Josephine however was not satisfied and soon took another lover, a man called Andre Savoy. On the 21st June 1996, Goode's body was discovered by the Baltimore City Police Department, it had been stuffed in the trunk of his car parked outside 2302 Avalon Street in Baltimore, Maryland. He had been killed by a single .9mm gunshot wound to the side of his head. Once again all the circumstantial evidence lead back to Josephine Gary.

Prior to his murder, on the 5th March 1996 Goode had applied for a $100,000 Life Insurance policy from the Interstate Assurance Company (IAC), and named Josephine Gary as the sole beneficiary. Goode however never paid the premiums on the policy. The paperwork regarding his failure to pay the premiums and the fact that the policy was about to cancel, were sent to him at Josephine’s address. These mailings as well as her calls to the insurance company about them would form the basis for Mail and Wire fraud and lead to her eventual downfall.

Having twice failed to bring murder charges against her, the authorities next turned to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to investigate irregularities in the insurance claims made by Gray after each of the deaths. On the 29th July 2002 Josephine Gray was re-arrested and charged with 8 counts of Federal Mail and Wire fraud. Incarcerated while waiting trial, US. District Judge Deborah Chasanow denied her bail request stating that Gray had taken part in three killings and tried to intimidate family members, this made her a potential threat if released before trial.

At 8:24 p.m. (EST) on the 2nd December 2002, the jury returned a verdict of guilty on all counts connected to the Mail and Wire fraud charges. Evidence introduced at the trial showed that Josephine had been involved in three homicides: the deaths of Norman Stribbling, William Robert Gray and Clarence Goode Jr. The first two homicide victims had been the defendant’s husbands, the last her lover. The evidence also showed that Josephine Gray illegally profited from all three murders.

As the verdict was announced, Josephine Gray sat slumped between her lawyers and showed no emotion. Her attorney Daniel Stiller read out a statement before sentencing: "She maintains her innocence and gives her faith in God as a higher power who knows she has committed no offense or done anything wrong, he said."

Delivered From Voodoo's Spell
by Cedric Harmon



By Cedric Harmon

For some people the month of October is a time to don clever costumes, take the kids trick-or-treating or tell ghost stories. For others, it is the season to host harvest parties. But for Contessa Adams, October is a time of spiritual warfare.

Each October, Adams says, the devil reminds her that he is out to draw her back into her former lifestyle of witchcraft, voodoo, sexual promiscuity, perversion and demon possession.

"It doesn't fail. Every October somebody [involved in the occult] comes and seeks me out," says Adams, who today is a Christian speaker, author and the director of Love in Action Ministries. "Once you've been in that realm, they spend the rest of your life trying to get you back."

A lady once approached Adams at her workplace, telling her that her ancestors--the French pirates who laid claim to Adams' native country of Dominica--sent her to Adams. Others have been bolder. One woman told Adams she was sent to do a tarot-card reading for her. On the same day, Adams says, the enemy dispatched a witch and a warlock to her.

"They walked past me, just checking me out," Adams told Charisma. "I had to say, 'Fear cannot come in here.' The power of God made them identify themselves. Thankfully, the anointing of God protected me."

Although Jesus delivered Adams from Satan's diabolical vice-grip more than 20 years ago, she still faces severe spiritual opposition at times. In her characteristic honesty and transparency, Adams admits that her challenge has been to remain free.

"I've been attacked so much," she says. "It's a continuous thing. Being saved is just the beginning of the battle."

But the battle hasn't stopped Adams from experiencing victory or from helping others find freedom from the snare of witchcraft. Now 47, the energetic lay minister attends the 900-member Family Worship Center pastored by Derrick W. Hutchins in Columbia, South Carolina. She travels across the United States, sharing her testimony of how Jesus Christ can set captives free.

Hundreds of people have been saved and delivered through the many ministry opportunities afforded Adams since the first time she gave her testi mony at a women's prayer breakfast in Ashland, Kentucky, in 1982. She has since ministered in various outreaches to teens and prison inmates.

"When she tells her story, people are in tears, hearts are broken, and they recognize a lot of things about themselves," says Joyce Salisbury, who lives in Columbus, Ohio, and is a close friend of Adams. "Her testimony gives people hope."

And for that reason, Adams believes, Satan is enraged.

"I've embarrassed hell," she says. "[And] hell's going to do anything it can to kill me."

Indeed, before the Holy Spirit set her free, hell almost did destroy her. The testimony of Contessa Adams vividly illustrates the dangers of dabbling in the occult. But more important, her story demonstrates the power and freedom that can be found in Christ.



Dedicated to the Devil

Adams says that from an early age she had been groomed by the devil to use sex as a weapon to destroy the lives of men and women.

By the time she had turned 21, she had become a world-class stripper who performed throughout Europe. When she came to the United States nearly 25 years ago, she had every intention of becoming one of the grandest prostitution madams in the country. Her ability to entice men into temptation and sin made her feel powerful.

With her knowledge of the Bible today, Adams says she would have been Delilah, Salome and Jezebel all rolled into one.

"Jezebel would have been my girl," Adams told Charisma. "She had the power. Men were scared of her. If you're going to have power, that's the way to be. I could have been her in a heartbeat. I would have acted the way she would.

"I could look out into the audience, and I knew I could have any man watching me. You knew they left their wife. You knew they left their girlfriend to come in there. I was a drug. They had to come. I was that fix they needed."

Today Adams knows how to warn men in the church about sexual temptation: "I want men to understand how dangerous the wrong women can be. We might be one of the most beautiful creations, but we're dangerous outside the realm of God."

According to Adams' autobiography, Consequences, Satan claimed her from birth by using a midwife named Flossie--a known witch on the Caribbean island of Dominica.

"In retrospect, my theory for all this was that when the servant of Lucifer blew breath into my mother, hell spoke," she writes. "The monarch of hell uttered, 'Both can live, only if I have the soul of the child!' [My] mother admits that she was voodooed or hexed, as it were. One could easily say that from my birth I was raised by a hexed, voodooed or a demon-possessed woman."

Adams had other relatives who were involved in the occult. The most notable was her maternal grandfather, who was a witch doctor. He was considered a "good" one because he reversed spells and curses that were cast on family members.

For Adams, practicing voodoo and various forms of Santería was kid stuff, she says. There was a deeper evil she craved, and she literally had an appetite for it. One of her favorite delicacies was "black pudding"--a concoction containing raw animal blood.

"To me, I just felt like it was something I had to do. I just had to eat the raw blood," she recalls. "Looking back, I realize my life was being set up for Satan."

By the time Adams had turned 16, she had long since moved from her island paradise home in the Caribbean to the damp and dreary setting of Bradford, England. There she was raped by her future boyfriend and common-law husband, and she became pregnant with her first child, Terrance.

It was during Adams' volatile three-year relationship with her boyfriend, to whom she also bore a daughter named Tracy, that the devil came to redeem what he had claimed at her birth.

Adams says that Satan sent a ruler of darkness--a high-ranking demon in the form of a man--into her life under the premise of liberating her from the abusive relationship with her boyfriend. This "man" had features that were almost too good to be true: a handsome, majestic, powerful demeanor and appearance that commanded attention.

"Nobody has ever had a picture of him. Nobody knew how he came to England," she claims.

Twice this man, whom Adams describes in her book as a "prince," appeared on the scene to rescue her in the nick of time. "He would just manifest," she says. "It was like I was in a trance."

The first visitation occurred after her boyfriend erupted in a jealous rage at a party and pushed her head through a pane of glass, causing a severe wound on her forehead. This prince escorted her away that night and consummated what would become a longtime affair with Adams.

As bizarre as it sounds, Adams believes she had sexual encounters with a demon spirit. Many Christian ministers who practice deliverance say this happens more often than we would like to think. In fact, they use the term incubus to describe a male demon that attacks women through nightmares and erotic dreams.

Joseph Thompson, an associate pastor at New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and a leader in deliverance ministry, told Charisma he has ministered to more than 100 people who have suffered sexual attacks by a demonic spirit. He recalls one recent example of a woman who came to his church seeking help.

"She would lie in bed, unable to sleep," Thompson says. "She would go into a trance and would not be able to move. A tall, shadowy, manlike figure would appear in the room, call her by name and come closer to her.

"Then she would feel [it] settle on top of her and enter her. She would wake up in the morning with scars on her body. It happened so much that it became part of her lifestyle, and she just accepted it."

Thompson believes the root cause of such encounters is a pact made in the past between the devil and the person, whether or not he or she was conscious of the pact. He has observed that most people who suffer from this type of attack were at one time the victims of satanic ritual abuse or heavily involved in witchcraft.

In Contessa Adams' case, her demonic "prince" consumed her life and became a sort of personal bodyguard.

The demon's second visitation came after Adams' boyfriend had kidnapped her for two weeks. The demon retaliated by putting a scar on her former boyfriend's forehead in the same place she had sustained hers.

Adams says this prince also became her love-vendor. He was the one who influenced her to become a stripper.

"It was scary. The prince was my god. I was somebody he got at a very young age. He got me at age 18," she says.

At the height of Adams' popularity in the mid-1970s, she went by the stage name of La Contessa Tabu. Part of her act was pouring hot wax on her scantily-clad body, which was draped with chains.

"I was brainwashed into thinking that pain was my reward. You were pleased to do [his] bidding. You didn't have your soul," she says.

But that was soon to change. The Holy Spirit had marked Contessa Adams for redemption.



Finding Deliverance in Christ

Adams says she had been in the United States for almost five years when God intervened in her life. She was living in Ohio, and her second of three husbands--a man with whom she had an affair in Europe--had just left her for another woman. She decided to move to Washington, D.C., having aspirations of surpassing the notoriety of Xaviera Hollander, who was known for her 1970s book about her life as a prostitute.

Before embarking on her goal, Adams thought she would entice one more man into sin. She found her next "target" and offered him a private strip show in a hotel room. But standing in the dark before this stranger, she ended up divulging her feelings of depression and suicide.

The man didn't want sex. Instead, he offered her Jesus and invited her home to meet his mother. But Adams ran away in fear--she says she felt like a vampire when the sun begins to rise.

But she wouldn't run for long. She ended up meeting the man's mother, Ramona Daisy Bracey of Huntington, West Virginia. And that's when Adams discovered how the Holy Spirit had orchestrated their meeting.

Bracey, now deceased, told Adams that for 11 years God had given her visions of a young woman to pray for. At first Adams resisted forging a relationship with Bracey, but something kept drawing her to the woman, who was the wife of a Baptist preacher. "It was the love of Jesus," Adams says.

It was on Memorial Day weekend in 1979 that Adams finally accepted Christ. Bracey had invited her to spend the night. This hospitality was something Adams would never forget.

"What she did was run the bath water. Anybody who ever ran bath water for me wanted something from me," she recalls. "I had already told her I was a stripper. She allowed me to be in her bathtub. She just showed me love. She took me for who I was. She was the closest I'd seen to Christ in the flesh."

That night, Adams says she felt a severe pain in her stomach. She felt like gagging and screaming for help and wanted to yell, but nobody apparently could hear her.

"The pain got worse," she says. "Then this thing started coming out of me. It was so tall--a big black blob.

"I couldn't understand what was going on. I was about to lose my mind. I heard voices. I kept saying: 'Please come closer to me whoever you are. Come help me.' Then I heard voices singing to me that God can do anything but fail.

"The demon got bigger. Then I heard voices saying, 'Satan, the Lord rebuke you.' The thing left. A light came through the bedroom door toward me. I fell out."

When Adams woke up the next morning, Bracey was kneeling beside her bed.

"I asked her what happened, and she started crying," Adams says. "She explained the presence of God came into the room."

The pastor's wife led her to Christ that morning. After the prayer, Adams felt the same power that had earlier caused her to fall to the ground.

"I could say nothing, but these words came to me. 'I just met Jesus,' I said, looking at her. I felt His presence, the warmth and cleansing."

Satan declared his war against Adams within a matter of weeks. She says that one night voices told her to kill herself because she was not worthy of the kingdom of God. "I had left the stable, and it was an outcry to Satan. I had embarrassed hell," she says.

But God provided Adams a means of escape. She says that just then, a man who had just shot his wife after catching her with another man ran into her kitchen, trying to elude the police.

"He has a gun, and I have a knife in my hand, wanting to kill myself. We stare at each other, and he runs off, and I drop the knife," she says.

Adams headed for Bracey's home across the bridge in West Virginia. On her trip, she claims, demons fought her for control of the steering wheel. But God proved faithful. She saw a light ahead of her--light, to her, was symbolic of Jesus.

ezeagu:
hmm, I thought it was the other way?
It may have changed overtime and that is what I want to know. It could be a cultural thing or something because if ibo men are looking elsewhere in high numbers, their women must be overbearing so much that their men cannot take it any longer. It's good to dissect issues like this so that we can be up in neck with the changes in our society. Is it a trend or inculturation that made ibo women too intoxicating to their men?. I am just asking a candid question pleeeeeeeeeeeeeze.

Keep hearing Grin
Lol, i heard that from a girlfriend who claimed an ibo admirer told her so and there have been threads here that points to the same fact.

Looking at your man hating ways can I also assume that Yoruba women are like the "male" lesbians?
I think not since I know people like Tope,morenike and karma are yoruba also and are nothing like you with your testosterone
You have issues.
If Igbo women are all what you mentioned,why are you the way you are? are you also an Igbo woman?
I don't hate men, just that i won't tolerate them to ride me come what may.
PoliticsRe: Ekiti Govt Accused Of Feeding Kids With 'Juju Cutlery' by PepERSprAY(op): 11:56pm On Oct 23, 2008
While i may find these allegation quite funny, there's also some possibility. Not to say I believe and agree with the story though. As for those sayin Juju is just trash and non-existent, I would like to know why then do we still have to deal with ritual killings, bodies with missing parts and so on, not just in Nigeria but in almost all parts of the world. I believe Juju as we call it in Nigeria is nothing different from the voodoo they have in yankee and other places.
Belief in juju is not the issue here rather it is the parents accusing the govt of using juju on their kids. What for?. It's not as if the kids are eligible to vote you might claim it's to bewitch them into voting the governor in the next election. Why reason is logical enough for the governor to use juju on little school children?
FamilyRe: Husband Wants Divorce After 24yrs. What Are My Rights As The Woman? Help! by PepERSprAY: 11:48pm On Oct 23, 2008
MIZ THANG:
I GOT MARRIED 24YRS AGO IN NIGERIA, HUSBAND AND I ARE NOW UK CITIZENS. HUBBY HAS JUST SUED ME FOR A DIVORCE. HE CONSTANTLY CHEATED ON ME AND HAD NO FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR 4 CHILDREN THROUGHOUT OUR MARRIAGE.
CAN WE GET A DIVORCE IN UK OR IS IT BETTER IN NIGERIA AS HE IS NOW GOING AFTER MY PROPERTY WHERE I LIVE WITH OUR KIDS AS WELL AS OUR JOINTLY BOUGHT PROPERTY WHICH I HAVE BEEN PAYING FOR. HELP!!!
I find that hard to believe since you were married for about 24 years. You need to realize that because you are reporting your case here doesn't mean you were the innocent party. i for once do not believe this cock and bull story because if you have lived in UK as long as you claim, you should know that you will be better off with the UK court system in terms of joint property and you should also know that the house does not belong to you alone even if you paid the mortgage alone which I seriously doubt. Stop screaming online abeg and take care of your business. You chose him and probably was the party cheating on him. If you want a candid advise, come out clean with a more believable story and not this bull about constantly cheating on you for 24 years while leaving the kids alone for you to take care of. Judges do not listen to women screaming for mercy based on their sex anymore since we are equal at least in America. If your story has any figment of truth, then you must be a retard and a bad one for that matter.
RomanceRe: Igbo Women Are Too Demanding by PepERSprAY(op): 10:59pm On Oct 23, 2008
I heard it somewhere and read something like that here. I am just asking a question. Are igbo women too demanding emotionally, mentally and financially more than the girls in other tribes?. Just a question.
PoliticsRe: Finally, Efcc Probes Obasanjo by PepERSprAY(op): 10:34pm On Oct 23, 2008
Do we really think that EFCC will find anything to implicate OBJ? Even if they find, what will they do to him? All the other people who were slammed with misdemeanors nko? Are they not 'free' today?
Can we allow them do their job first before running into conclusions?. let anyone here that has any incriminating evidence against Obasanjo come forward with it, abeg.
