“Someone told me that the house is the one which needs to be exorcised.”
Upon constructing her house around 2003, Nyarai Chadoka opted for standard bricks. She then relocated to her rural home around 2011, spending a span of two years immersed in that environment. However, upon her return, she was met with a startling revelation – everything had transformed in her absence.
“When I initially built my house, I used some common bricks and I then went kumusha around 2011 only to come back to see that everything had changed.
“I realised that the whole house was now built with face bricks.
“To my surprise, face bricks haasiwe plaster pamusoro but izvi zvakandikandisa mapfumo pasi and I am told that is where the problem started.
“A lot of things were planted at the house and these are the same things tormenting me.”
She added:
“So, I want someone who can help me with dealing with these things which were put at my house.
“I have no rest, every day scary things are still happening.”
Nyarai recounts a perplexing series of events where her funds seemingly vanish, her food goes missing overnight, windows get shattered, and walls bear mysterious scratches. Blankets are torn repeatedly, carpets suffer damage, and to add to the strangeness, she describes ghostly cars appearing at night, flashing their lights before vanishing into the darkness.
“We still put some salt pamadoor, nekuisa mugoti since takaudzwawo nevamwe to do so.
“It hasn’t helped much but zviri nani nekuti hope hadziuye,” she said.
