“Soos die rivier my bloed geneem het… so sal die pad julle bloed neem.”

I didn't even need to use Google Translate. I got the gist - and the menace - of that. Fabulousluy atmospheric horror, made even more terrifying by finding out it was based on a true story.

Thank you Marsha. 😊 I am always fascinated by ghost stories. We were in South Africa in April for our annual visit to my father. On the way from the airport to his place, we drove past Boontjieskraal. That’s when my father told me the story. In the days that followed, he shared even more ghost stories. Well-known ones, but also personal experiences. Let’s just say I have enough inspiration to keep me writing for the next few months.. 😬😁

What a story. I love these legends, the way it's told from generation to generation!
