Teachers at Kandana Primary School, located in Bulilima, Matabeleland South Province, Zimbabwe, are on the verge of abandoning their posts due to what they claim are ongoing supernatural disturbances caused by a "female goblin."
The incidents, which reportedly began in June last year, have worsened, forcing the teachers to report the situation to community leaders this school term. The teachers allege that the spirit enters their homes at night, creating noise and unsettling disturbances. Reports describe the entity as scattering kitchen utensils and making sounds reminiscent of someone cooking late at night.
One teacher shared their experience, explaining, "It comes at night and drops kitchen utensils. Sometimes we just hear movements as if someone is walking. In some cottages, teachers say they hear the sounds of someone cooking. Some of our colleagues claim to have seen it in visions, and they say it has a female body."
Teachers have expressed increasing concern over the sleepless nights caused by the disturbances. Though no physical harm has been reported, the fear of what could happen next is growing. Another teacher revealed, "We suspect it could be the same goblin that terrorized police officers at Gwambe Clinic because it attacked male officers sexually. Here, those who see it in 'visions' report seeing a female goblin. If nothing is done, we will be forced to request transfers, as we do not know what might happen next."
The proximity of the school to Gwambe Clinic, where police officers were reportedly sexually assaulted by female goblins during their sleep, is fueling additional alarm among the community. This connection has prompted local leaders to take action.
In response to the increasing fear and disturbances, the local community is raising funds to hire witch hunters to conduct an exorcism. Community leaders have also appealed to members of the diaspora for financial support to help resolve the supernatural problem.
The situation continues to unfold as teachers remain uncertain about their safety and future at the school.
