The life of everyone was in danger . Mysterious things have happened in the past weeks that had made families uneasy . In north of Ruvuma river young girls aged between sixteen and twelve reported they saw a tall man like a palm tree approaching , they had to ran. Just few days ago young boys between ten and fourteen years old reported when they passed a certain church in a remote area they saw a tree looking like a person. The tree had a mouth , nose and the side of the tree were two stretched lines that looked like legs of a person. No one believed all these stories . But now the elders of the village saw it for themselves . Gomani's tomb was empty . " We are all gathered here to find a way of catching the ghost of Gomani . Gomani is not there where we burried him . All we can tell you is that he left a note at the graveyard that he is no longer there and that he is seeking to settle a dispute . As your leader , women make sure you watch over your children . Nobody should walk alone . We don't know what we are dealing with . All witch doctors , church people and any religion ,.let's join hands in catching the ghosts of Gomani before it finishes all of us . ' When chief Kali po Kalipo finished talking people walked home in a group . Everyone was afraid of anything moving or coming from behind. When Kadamulendo and his wife got home , he quickly went into bedrooms to inspect if everything was alright . He looked in his bedroom there was nothing strange . He looked into the children's bedroom there was a broom at the corner . Kadamulendo thought about the broom and quickly shouted for his wife in the living room , " Kodi madam , do you remember leaving the broom here ? ' The wife thought for a moment scratching her head . Kadamulendo asked again , this time with urgency, " Please tell me where did you leave the broom ." There was fear and terror in his voice . Kadamulendo's wife shrugged her shoulders , " I never swept the house so am surprised as well ." At this Kadamulendo signaled to his wife and the children. Everyone ran outside the house . " There is no way we can sleep in that house . ' The whole family walked in hurry with speed towards the house of pastor Charlie Highly -Favoured Gondwe . Kadamulendo explained what he saw at his house and the well known pastor Charlie Highly -Favoured Gondwe assured him , " Sleep here in my house . My house is safe . Nothing evil will come into this house ." Everyone said Amen . At night when everyone was asleep Teacher Kadamulendo thought about Gomani . Gomani used to be a teacher like him and Kadamulendo wondered that if one day he is dead and rituals are not followed would he come back to haunt everyone ? Kadamulendo shook his head left and right , " there is no way I can do that I would better rest in peace .' In the early hours of the morning Kadamulendo fell in deep sleep and very asleep . He dreamed he was travelling on foot to Lilongwe but he suddenly forgot an umbrella at his house . In that dream Kadamulendo walked home and was surprised the umbrella was not there . Anyway , Kadamulendo got up around five in the morning, he looked around he discovered that there was an envelop under his pillow written To Mr Kadamulendo . He opened the letter . He thought pastor Highly -Favoured Gondwe wrote him a prayer to protect his family . He smiled and started reading . But suddenly his face changed and looked more worried the more he read . He was not afraid until he read this , " Mr Kadamulendo . I think I died too early . I could have gone for good if you burried me properly but now that you messed my burial , am back . As a retired teacher , I can no longer get my pension because everyone thinks am dead . This gives me no choice but to ask you to give me a teaching job at your school , the job I had before I retired . You tell everyone am a new teacher , tell them am not Gomani . Do this or I will come to your house everyday .' Teacher Kadamulendo knew that there is more trouble ahead .
