THE HAUNTED TRAIL (GHOST IN IGADO) - STACH SHORT STORIES COMPETITION
The old ancestral village of Igado had just crowned a new king. He was a village elder who ascended the throne by poisoning the previous king with the aide of the late king's most trusted cook.
7 market days later, the village was struck by a witch haunt. Tragic deaths began to take place. The first casualty was a palm wine tapper who had died instantly after falling from a palm tree and had his head smashed against a rock. Secondly a set of children who had gone to swim in the village stream got drowned and there was sad news about the death of a mother and her child during child birth. All these tragic deaths happened in less than 72 hours, so everyone became scared.
Rumors began to spread through Igado. It was said that the ghost of the previous king haunted the village because it was angry and restless. People in the village always heard a strange voice crying every night. Night movements became restricted because some people claimed to have seen the ghost with their naked eyes.
Now the oracle must be consulted! The village must know why it is being haunted!!
