Woman says she's followed by showers of stones
A South African woman claims she's being plagued by a hail of stones that follow her wherever she stays.
Miyi Shongi was kicked out of her own village by her family and neighbours three weeks ago and moved in with relatives 30km away.
But the stone showers followed her there, says the News 24 website.
The 58-year-old believes a Zimbabwean trader cast an evil spell on her, because she failed to pay for clothing she'd bought on credit from her.
When the problem first began in the village of Lombani, the woman's family called police for help.
Police spokesperson Ailwei Mushavhanamadi said: "We were there for nearly the whole night and saw stones falling from the sky like rain. We went around the area to make sure someone wasn't throwing stones on the roof on purpose, but we didn't find anyone."
A spiritual healer told the woman she should consult a more powerful healer to break the spell. He also advised her to find the trader, apologise and pay for the clothes.
Which reminds me of something. When I was young, my big brother told me in all seriousness that 'when you're 13, the Devil throws stones at you'. And I, in all seriousness, believed him. With hilariously terrifying results.
