A woman faces federal charges after baggage screeners in Florida found a human skull in her luggage. The woman told customs officials she obtained the head in Haiti to "use as part of her voodoo beliefs." And she said it's meant to "ward off evil spirits."

Myrlene Severe is charged with smuggling the head into the US without proper documentation, as well as failing to declare the head and transporting hazardous materials.

Her neighbors describe Severe as a voodoo witch. She faces 15 years in prison if convicted on all charges, and is being held on $100,000 bond. She needs $10,000 to be released from jail.
