Last Sunday night (the mid-night of Sunday, 12 September 2022), whiles people in Ghana and over the world were fast asleep, and resting from their weekend’s ups-and-down activities, something strangle happened, and this could be a live turning story for every late night traveler.
Almost every day in our lives, many strange and creepy things happen around us whiles we go sleeping, and most of these… we are not aware of.
Sometimes, the few ones who travel late in the night, or those who works throughout the night (like night watchmen, mid-night fishermen, night hunters, young lovers who goes out late in the night), are lucky or unlucky to encounter these strange and mysterious and creepy things.
It all happened just this Sunday, around 1 am mid-night, when all communities and streets in Ghana went empty,y and dead silent. When people were fast asleep and enjoying their Sunday’s rest, the story was not same with me and some two young lovers.
Whiles i was returning home (to Goloto, a small community in the Many Krobo district of the Eastern Region); from a very long journey, two young lovers, who also seemed to be returning to their abodes, from some late-night club, where walking ahead of me on a ‘rough road’, in semi-forest area.
The entire town of ‘Goloto’ at that late moment (around 1 am), was very quit; and the path we were ‘trecking’, on also appeared very dark, as there were no street lights or houses around. At that lonely moment, all that we could hear was the sounds from our footsteps, and that of some barking dogs far away.
Within a blink of anybody’s eyes; and from nowhere in the dark, there appeared a very tinny ray of light about 50 meters ahead of us. The light; which really appeared from the dark, and glowing in the middle of road, appeared to be growing bigger and brighter as it gets closer to us.
The one tinny ray of light, in just a few seconds, grew into a large and beautify bright light…looking like a fallen star; and before anybody could think of a way to escape; the bright light ‘burst out’, and completely disappeared into the thick dark.
At this time, the fear in us was completely unimaginable as neither me, nor the two lovers, knew what lies next ahead of us, after the disappearance of this strange light.
Because we were still in the middle of the dark, and still a little far away from our destinations, we had no other options (we cant return), but to gather some courage; increase our speed, walk pass the point of action, and get out of the dark and lonely areas of the journey.
As we walk faster, and got close to the actual point where the light appear and later disappeared; we met something more creepy and frightening than the light itself.
Lying in the bush nearby was a little dog-like animal, with a look like ‘two bodies one head’ dog.
because it was too dark, we couldn’t get the true appearance of this this strange beast , even as we tried using the lights from our mobile phones to get a clear view, fear of attack couldn’t allow us get a good look; but our phone cameras did a good job my getting us some images for our future stories.
Though we gladly got to our various homes unhurt, I personally have learnt great lessons; I will now be very careful of travelling in the night; especially the ‘late-night’ travels.
Also, to walk through the lonely places of the woods, bushes areas or the forests, is now a no no no for me.
For the two young lovers, i believe no one need to tell them, to cautious of extending their love stories through the late nights.
In all these, if the system is working as promised by this government whiles in opposition, and prior to elections 2016, things wouldn’t have come this way especially for me. It was bad roads and heavy traffic that led to my arrival home so late.
Also, it is bad governance by this current NPP administrations, that led to the increasing number of youth unemployment, and the hardships in the country.
If not so, why would a young girl fall in the arms of a man, follow him through the late nights; not because of real love, but for money and survival.
