A family from Magwegwe North in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, has been under relentless assault from an energetic poltergeist since last November. The family, who have understandably preferred to remain anonymous, have three children aged 13, 12 and eight, and blame the attacks on “goblins”.
Describing their experience, an adult family member said: “It started last November. One morning, our children woke up with their heads shaved. We thought it was a one-time thing.” However, this turned out to be just the beginning of a prolonged ordeal. “The next day, our youngest child woke up in the middle of the night, screaming. He had been stabbed in the leg with a knife! He also woke up with his head shaved again.” (It seems the shaving was partial.) “We were all terrified and completely clueless about what was happening,” the family spokesperson explained. This onslaught continued to escalate: “Doors and windows would come open inexplicably, our children’s clothes, especially their uniforms, would be torn, and they could no longer attend school.”
