Zimbabwe, located in southern Africa, with frequent reports of attack on people with supernatural forces. Here they are called by one word — goblins, no matter whether poltergeists imposed curse or possession.

The vast majority of cases, these "goblins" are just the imagination of superstitious villagers. For example, once the goblins blamed the sudden pregnancy of a resident of the village, but later she herself confessed that work up of the child in the usual way. However, sometimes there are cases that are really hard to explain logical methods. It is possible that this is such.

So, in a small village Sigamani, County of Segala, in the autumn of last year started to have strange attacks on livestock. Someone killed the cows and goats, but the villagers couldn't figure out the predator, although seemingly knew all the local animals. When near the village was discovered two of the dead boy and the cause of their death was impossible to determine, the villagers finally went to the local witch doctor. He blamed the goblins, of course, and held the ritual of "driving the goblins".

At the time there was a lull, a mysterious predator has not been announced. But then it all started again. He always attacked at night and were very quiet.

"Every morning we Wake up and see that one of our cats dead. At first we thought that it makes the person and we decided to take turns to guard the corral. But all was quiet, we didn't see anyone, and the next morning they found another dead cow," says one member of the community, "last year after the death of the children was conducted the ceremony, which was to deliver us from the goblins, but now they have returned and are back in full force."

The headman of the village Mehluli Ndlovu also complained to reporters:

"Since the beginning of the attacks, we lost 30 of our cattle, including dead and my cattle. We are now looking for various ways of dealing with these creatures, including religious or local traditional magic. It is possible that this attack goblins, and maybe someone uses a special amulet. I've heard complaints that the goblins not only kill people and livestock, but also destroy crops. Now I'm trying to find a more powerful shaman".

Reportedly, each family from the village are ready to sacrifice personal savings on the shaman, just not to shake in fear at home, fear after dark to go outside.
