SEASON OF THE WITCH : The Witches of Gambaga : Exile and Fear in Ghana’s Witch Camp | Haunted History

As summer wanes and the nights grow long, we turn to tales of witches, curses, and the old ways that never truly died. For centuries, harvest time has carried its own magic: charms for fields, blessings for homes, and darker stories of those who bent nature to their will.This September, we step into that threshold where folklore meets fear. From ancient curses to infamous trials, from haunted ground to witches said still to walk among us… welcome to the Season of the Witch.In northern Ghana, the Gambaga Witch Camp has stood for over a century as both sanctuary and prison.
