Ghoulies and Ghosties

by Feòrag

Night watchmen at a Botswanan primary school are threatening to resign over things that go bump in the night:

Maposa told the audience that his men, who were now refusing to be posted at the school, said the invisible creatures, which they suspect to be 'tokolosi', manifested themselves in the form of little human beings, adding that some times they looked like a snake.
He said he had been receiving reports of persistent tokoloshi activity at the school from his charges since 1999, adding that such objects often whistled, cried like a baby, threw stones on the roof of classrooms and cut and restored power.

Wax lyrical

Evangelism, witnessing and similar activitites go by one name here—advertising, and is no different from spam for viagra, penis enlargement products and pornography. We do not take advertising. If you want to advertise your imaginary friend, please spend your own money on your own web space to do so. Any attempts to use the comments section for advertisements will be deleted, and the perpetrator barred, unless they are particularly stupid, in which case I reserve the right to pinch an idea from Teresa Nielsen Hayden and delete all the vowels.

This is not a contacts site. If you are looking for help regarding a particular path, I suggest The Witches' Voice, which does operate a contacts service.

Allowed HTML: a href, b, br, p, strong, em, ol, ul, li, blockquote, q, pre. If your name has accents in it, things will work better if you use the XHTML entities for those letters. The same applies if you are using a word processor to compose your comment, then copying and pasting the text—either turn off curly quotes and avoid using em-dashes, or edit your comment after pasting to get rid of them. Garbled comments usually get deleted.






You must give one to comment, but it will not be displayed and we won't let the spammers have it. If it is obviously false, your comment will be deleted, except in extenuating circumstances.







You must preview your comment first. Blame the spammers.
