Mysticism and spiritual beings are important in Marley's upbringing and an integral part of the Jamaican culture. When Marley is born, his grandfather Omeriah realizes that there is a bad spirit that follows Marley, although he is not sure why. He notes that someone wants Marley dead and he is confused by it. However, he recognizes that Marley is special and separate from the rest of the relatives.
