Relations by the graveside. INSET: the said
‘ghost’ in Togolese Gendarmerie grips
Fear and panic gripped residents of Luk, a
Togolese farming community near Bunkpurugu in
Bunkpurugu-Yunyoo District of the Northern
Region, after a man resurrected seven days after
his burial.
Konkper-Laar Samuel, 22 was said to have died
after a brief illness and was buried at the family
mausoleum with a stone and a piece of stick
placed on his grave as a symbol of separation of
the bond between the living and the dead.
According to their tradition, the seventh day was
supposed to be marked with a family gathering
where issues regarding the deceased’s property
and debts, if he had incurred any whilst alive,
would be resolved.
As members of the family gathered at about 8
o’clock that morning, they were shocked to find
the deceased entering the house with the very
clothes he was buried with. There was
pandemonium as there was a shout of ‘Run for
your life’ and everyone was running helter-
skelter.
Some ran to the grave side to see if it had been
opened but were more amazed when they found
it intact.
