This isn't a discussion over which religion or belief system is correct, just about different traditions and spells and rituals.
When planning to cross a cemetery, to appease Baron Samedi (the Loa of the dead who exists between the living world and the world of the dead), you must leave a small amount of rum, basil leaves and nine pennies.
This prevents spirits from attaching themselves to you and leaving the cemetery with you.
