†═══════B═══════☩═══════A═══════†═══════T═══════☩═══════B═══════† What would you do if your own bedroom made you sick? When 21-year-old Retha returned home from university, she expected a quiet week with family before classes resumed. Instead, she found herself afraid to enter her bedroom. It started with a vivid dream. Then came a terrifying encounter in the middle of the night. Soon after, she became so violently ill that her family rushed her to the hospital. Doctors gave her a diagnosis. But one detail didn't make sense. Every time Retha stepped back into her room, the symptoms returned. As her family searched for answers, they were drawn into a world of South African spirituality, ancestral beliefs, witchcraft, and one of the most feared supernatural entities in African folklore. Was it an illness? A coincidence? Sleep paralysis? Or something else entirely? ⚠️ This story is presented as a personal account. Interpretations and beliefs surrounding spiritual practices vary widely across cultures. †═══════B═══════☩═══════A═══════†═══════T═══════☩═══════B═══════† 🖤 Follow Megan for more content and behind-the-scenes: 📸 Instagram (Personal) — @leemeganida 📸 Instagram (Shorts & Extras) — @batbeasts 🎵 TikTok — @batbeasts 📬 Business inquiries: [email protected] 💜Story ideas: [email protected] #horrorstories #creepystories #witchcraft #southafrica #sangoma #paranormalactivity #cursedobjects #juju
