AFTER DARK | Part 2 of 2 The Tokoloshe: Southern Africa’s Night Terror | Zulu Folklore, Witchcraft & True Crime

from The Whispering Woods : Real Life Ghost & Paranormal Stories

A small shape in the dark. A weight on the chest. A presence blamed for sickness, scandal, and death, and feared as something that can be sent by human hands. In this episode, we trace the tokoloshe through Southern African belief, its protective rituals, and the chilling moments where folklore bleeds into real-world violence and courtroom history.The BOOKBY US A COFFEESubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokoloshehttps://www.pbs.org/video/blame-the-tokoloshe-south-africas-most-notorious-goblin-asl-dcw6xo/https://time.com/archive/6610492/foreign-news-tilcoloshes-friend/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elifasi_Msomihttps://astonishinglegends.com/astonishing-legends/2019/2/16/the-tokoloshehttps://paranormaldailynews.com/tokoloshe-the-spirit-that-will-kill-you/422/https://medium.com/doctor-funny/the-kaya-mampoer-and-the-tokoloshe-c0c0454e98eaSarah xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.
