Yes, the headline is correct. Multiple media sites in Ghana are reporting that not one but two women believed to be witches fell from the sky recently. Is this a new Fortean phenomenon? Is it time for remakes of Wicked and The Wizard of Oz?
The first witch fall occurred in Akyeremadi in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. Masons at a block factory (possibly making concrete blocks) claimed they heard a loud crash at 3:30 am. (It’s always the graveyard shift when the interesting things happen.) When they got to the scene, the found a woman on the floor wearing a shiny dress with blood on her face. (How did they know she was a witch? No mention of a hole in the ceiling, plaster on the floor or a damaged broom, but I digress).
Before they could question her, the woman who had just allegedly fallen from the sky, suddenly got up and ran away. They chased her (no mention of pitchforks or flaming torches) to a nearby house where they – along with what was described as a “colossal number of curious people” who heard about the witch and joined the hunt – found her. Now topless, the woman identified herself by two names – Gifty and Afia – and said she was flying to Kwanwoma (no mention of why or how) when she was hit by an electrical shock which caused her to crash (Electrical wires? Tall policeman with a stun gun? Flying eels?) Full story...
