2. The White House
Address: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
City: Washington D.C.
Website: whitehouse.gov
After his 11-year-old son Willie died of typhoid fever in 1862, Abraham Lincoln is said to have suffered aural and/or visual hallucinations wandering the WH halls, and his wife Mary Todd held seances in an effort to speak to her dead son (only to be visited by Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson instead). After Lincoln's assassination, Ulysses S. Grant continued that tradition and believed that he had contacted the ghost of Willie. Theodore Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Jacqueline Kennedy (among others) claimed to have seen Abraham Lincoln's ghost, and most recently Michelle Obama reported being awoken in the middle of the night by strange sounds.
American author George Saunders wins the 2017 Man Booker prize with his horror novel..
Lincoln in the Bardor. Its a story based on the experience of Abraham Lincoln in the white house

And the ghosts were reported to them by who? Check, you'll discover that it's the Christians or Muslims or other religious people that are reporting the ghostly occurences. Actually, people who are dead live on, but they cannot appear physically in our own 3D world here. Anybody who reported ghosts must have seen or come in contact with them in dreams or lucid dreams and not in our physical world, or else the person was hallucinating. I have seen ghosts too, but in dreams and lucid dreams. They can't come into our physical world, else they are no more qualified to be called ghosts but human beings.
My point is not to validate the belief in ghost as many people understand them to be. Those ghosts are actually demons masquerading as dead people, but at least that is still SPIRITUAL.

It's a lie, there are no demons. Our ancestors are living on and if we see them in their worlds now, we call them ghosts not demons. You'll die someday and become a ghost too.

watch American movies, China, India and all this telemundus u will see them potraying witches, Wizard and Ghost parts,
if there is no witches there nor do they beliv am sure they can hardly acts

They are portrayed as myths and entertainments. These beliefs are dated and today the western world uses them for entertainment and mythical portrayals.

You have to have some commonsense to see it but most Africans are too illiterate to understand the concepts!

On nairaland for example you have to write to most Nigerians like you are educating kids and apes! Sorry!!!

There's a saying which states that: person wai never born before no go know how he dey feel to get pikin

Someone that's lucky not have encountered anything spiritual before will find it so easy to type and call people who believes in witches and spirit "backward, illiterate and so on..... Whenever I see them I just look at them like someone who ignorant of his/her environment.


If you think witches and ghosts doesn't exist go to osun river and kill a fish... The rest they say will be history.
There is something like witchcraft but your assertion about killing a fish in osun river is false.... i stay in Oshogbo, i did some naughty things when i was a kid.

Another show of annoying ignorance. Do you know about Halloween? It has its origin in demonism. You will just hide in the corner of your room and be judging what is happening globally. Or you think the world starts and ends on naira land?

I've been there several times. It's not on this plane, not within the universe that is physical. I call it 'inner universe' or 'spiritual universe'.

Ghosts do exists and the whites believes in its existence too. Even Jesus did, yeah...yeah his disciples were afraid seeing him walking on the river, he told them not to be afraid that he's not a ghost!!! I know some fanatics will quote me now and be cursing me while crying like I have insulted their religious believes and its founder.

Yeah, white people believe in ghosts and witches, but they don't believe one witch or the other in their village is doing them. When they fail, they take responsibility for the failure, they don't blame witches and wizards.
Pastors made Africans to start believing their misfortunes is due to an old person in the families. maybe they don't want people to grow old again

Could you share yours so we learn.
I believe God allowed those things to happen because those things retained the God consciousness in me during my time of awakening. my dad used to be sickly for no just reason so he went to some ministers and pastors for prayers and prayers started. They saw what was it and they dealth with it through prayer, it was a spiritual attack though not from demons but evil men. Right in front of me, 21 pins came out from different parts of his body from nowhere shocked Charms where discovered, and they weren't planted physically because no one had access to our home then. Alot of stuff happened that I don't just talk about. I'm very good intellectually so a point in my life came when rationality and freethinking came knocking and I wanted to give in but I couldn't because of those experiences. It continued until God's grace finally found me. There's freedom in Jesus Christ, Yes I'm a born again Christian and I'm also a rational and a free to think. Thank you!

well...But Africans have almost monopolized it and as such all manner of commonsense fell by the wayside!

If you are comparing with Americans (for example)
You will not find 10% of Americans who think their jobs came from god or juju
You will not find 10% of Americans who think their illness was caused by their enemies (in-laws, ex wife, business partner...rubbish like that)
You will not find 10% of Americans who think people can fly at night
You will not find 10% of Americans who think electricity, children, cars and recovery from problems came from god or juju)
You will not find 10% of Americans who have uncountable children because they think god will feed them

Simple phenomenons like a new work, phone, paying the rent and fixing a car are attributed to god or juju rather than the person being educated and qualified for the job, able to drive to landlords house or the phone shop!
They then post online asking everyone to thank god or phoning the babalawo to congratulate him!

The list goes on, but you will find over 90% of Africans who are stupid enough to believe very basic level of idiocy!

Americans believe in all sorts but commonsense approach to life still outsmarts the level that many Africans are at today.

The African approach is more closer to apes mentality on the subjects than the current human ones practiced by other sections of global society!


Want to see a white man talk to God, let him catch a terminal illness.

Want to see a white man invoke demons, stand in his way of success.

Whites dont know voodoo but ask them about shaman or guru.

Whites dont go Mosques, Churches, they visit Indian temples, ask them about Hare Krishna and see their face light up.

Zodiac signs, arent they a for of reading the future??

Same things.
