What I am about to tell you happened in Kroonstad. Most of my experiences happened there. Before I continue with my story let me give you a short description of this creature. The thokolosh is a demon type of creature, it's very small (about the same size as a 9 year old) its body is very round, in other words kind of fat. He is half man half goat,... Now I know this is going to sound far fetched but he has the legs of a goat, stomach of a man and the head of a bull. His whole body consists of hair except for his stomach. Further more the thokolosh is known to "attack" the African People. I hope you have an idea how this thing looks like.
Now to my story. It was the 12th of January 2009 when we went to Kroonstad for a family visit, upon arriving in Kroonstad we sat out on my uncle's farm, that's where the visit always takes place. We arrived on the farm at about 2pm that afternoon, it was nice weather but in the far distance you could see thunder clouds approaching. We all started to unpack and went to sit down in the living room. All of a sudden my mother flew up, pale as a blanket in the face and started to cry. We were all confused and asked her what happened and she claimed to have seen this creature running into the cornfields. (If you sit in the living room you can see only a portion of the cornfields). The servant that was working for my uncle was an xhosa (its a African culture) living in the maidens quarter outside in the yard. Her name was Lisbeth. She was a very hard working lady. So after we managed to calm my mother down we heard a terrible scream like someone was being attacked. My uncle ran to the vault, took out his shotgun and ran outside. (In that area there are a lot of wild animals running around. There was once a leopard spotted on his farm)
Thinking that Lisbeth was being attacked by an animal he ran straight for her quarters. I shortly followed and my dad wasn't far behind. When we got there Lisbeth was in tears and my uncle asked her in her language what was wrong. She then told him that she saw the tokolosh.
I started to laugh because to me it was hilarious and that stories about the tokolosh was just stories. So I went and made fun about it. I told Lisbeth that if she doesn't stop crying the tokolosh would come for her. And to this I swear when I finished making fun of her something threw a rock at me hitting the back of my head. When I turned around there it was. I was looking straight into the tokolosh. It stared at me for about 20sec, and turned around and disappeared into the corn fields.
That night I couldn't sleep. I was thinking of what I saw, and I know that everyone saw the tokolosh, so it wasn't my mother's imagination. Lisbeth came knocking on the door and I went to open the door and asked her why is she knocking this late at the door. I called out to her and said,"Oe Zwani wena?" meaning what do you want... She said that there is something in her room and its making very bad noises, so I took the shot gun and called my elder brother, he went with me (believe me I was so scared). When we arrived at her quarter I pushed the door open and heard the same noises as Lisbeth heard. I flipped the light switch on to find snakes under her bed. Now this is strange because snakes can't get into the quarters. We called my father and he helped remove the snakes. It was already passed midnight, when we heard a high pitched laugh from the side of the cornfields. The following morning all of us was dead tired (we didn't sleep) we called the high priest from Lisbeth's church. She belonged to the ZCC (Zion Christian Church). He came and said that the tokolosh is present. He did his ritual by removing all the negatives and pouring positive forces over the farm.
We soon discovered a body of an animal that was being used for voodoo rituals buried under the quarters. The priest then explained to us how the setup worked. He said that if some one wanted bad things to happen to people he merely have to take the body of a monkey cut of the hands and head, and place it under the house, garden or any place close to the person he wants to hurt. And then he must drink a cup full of the blood of that animal, and "that's how the tokolosh is being summoned".
People, I know you will find it hard to believe, but please believe me, I have witnessed it for my self.
Thanks for reading.
