Pelting Presecution

A poltergeist that throws hot stones is making life a misery for a Bulawayo family

Lydia Manjengwa, a widow with eight children, has been forced from her house near Bulawayo in Zimbabwe and made homeless after being pelted by large “hot stones” thrown by invisible assailants.The location of this apparent pelting poltergeist persecution is Manjengwa Village in Buhera district. A journalist from The Manica Post visited the family at 1:30pm on 27 June. Moments later Future Mashiri (35) and her brother’s wife Tafadzwa Matevera (19) – both with babies strapped on their backs – emerged from adjacent rock outcrops where they had rushed for cover from the raining stones.The yard was strewn with water buckets, plates, pots, and other household utensils damaged beyond repair and use. Kitchen shelves had been broken and roofs shattered. Fresh and healed scars of burns were visible on most of the family members.The stones were too big for a person to throw around with such frequency without being detected.The fusillade only ceased when strangers visited.The stones were allegedly passing through walls without leaving holes on the outside or burning the grass thatched roof.
