Ghost drags businesswoman out of office in daylight

A Bulawayo businesswoman has allegedly abandoned her office in Bulawayo city centre and home after a suspected ghost reportedly dragged her out in broad day light on numerous occasions.

It seems there is more to what meets the eye as reliable sources have disclosed that the ghost was the woman's late sister. The deceased woman is reported to have been barren and therefore 'adopted' her sister's son. The woman being 'blessed' with the son, went out of her way to educate the boy who later graduated as a medical doctor.

Trouble is said to have started when the young man gave first preference to the woman who had brought her up and 'neglected' his biological mother. This did not go down well with the biological mother. With jealous prevailing over the scene, she is said to have declared a war on her sister and demanded to be given all her property that has been bought by her son who is based in South Africa.

The incident disturbed the now deceased to the extent that she suffered 'mild stroke' leading to her death. It happened that before passing away, the woman wrote a will indicating that her brother should inherit all her property. After the burial, the allegedly 'greedy' woman evicted her brother from the deceased's house in Nkulumane suburb and later occupied one of the late woman's offices in the city centre.

A source who spoke on condition of anonymity said: "Office 44 is not occupied because the woman who used it was being haunted by ghost. At first we thought that she was lying until the day when the ghost started dragging her out of the office. She could no longer stand harassment and embarrassment as she became the talk of the building."

As if that was not enough, the ghost even 'ordered her to move out' of the house at the high density suburb of Nkulumane.

"She tried seeking help from prophets and traditional healers, but the harder she tried the more violent the ghost became," said the source.

As a result of the ghost menace, she deserted the troublesome offices and house. She is understood to be now resident in Pelandaba West suburb. The offices are also vacant and according to the source prospective businesspeople fear renting it because of the strange happenings.

Contacted for comment, the woman admitted that she was looking for someone to rent her office. However, she could not disclose much on the issue of the ghost and lashed out at this reporter.

"That issue is known by a few individuals, who told you? It seems you have called to laugh at me, go back to the person who gave you that information (since) I have no time to discuss it with you," she woman.
