In a strange story out of Zimbabwe, a sorcerer enlisted to get to the bottom of a series of suspected goblin attacks wound up pinning the blame for the unsettling events on the ghost of a former teacher. According to a local media report, the proverbial paranormal whodunit unfolded at the Majiji Primary School in the district of Bubi, where multiple students and teachers claimed to have had encounters with a sinister supernatural entity. Attacks by this shadowy being, which they believed to be a goblin, became so frequent that the school was forced to shut down and subsequently called upon a prophetess to thwart the entity, which is when the true culprit was seemingly revealed.
Rather than goblins plaguing the students and staff, the mystic informed them that the source of their problem was actually the spirit of a former teacher who passed away several years ago. The prophetess, who is named Sithembiso Moyo, explained that this individual's family had "failed to perform traditional rituals to cleanse his spirit from the school and his spirit is now troubled." Having apparently found the root cause of the attacks, the sorcerer performed some kind of mystical procedure to untether the man's essence from the building so that he can fully pass over to the 'other side' at last.
Oddly enough, Moyo also suggested that a mysterious goat which had wandered onto the school grounds was also responsible for some of the commotion, though unfortunately, she did not explain how or why that is the case. While it is uncertain what became of the wayward creature, as no one seems to know who owns the meddlesome goat, school administrators hope that the mystic's ritual helped to send their former colleague to a better place and put an end to his ghostly reign of terror in the building.
