MYSTERY IN ANAMBRA: CORPSE THAT “REFUSED” TO BE BURIED FOR 3 YEARS — FAMILY RELEASES NEW PHOTO

A fresh photograph taken moments ago in Anambra State has reignited a disturbing mystery that has gripped Ogbunike and surrounding communities for nearly three years. The image, captured on a Google Pixel phone, allegedly shows the apparition of a woman whose corpse has defied multiple burial attempts.
The woman, known popularly as ‘Da Nnaputa’, was the first albino priestess of the revered Idemmili deity. Until her death in 2022, she was a respected diviner in Ogbunike, Oyi LGA — a figure shrouded in mystique, folklore, and deep spiritual reverence.

A Priestess Surrounded by Fear and Rumours
Locals say she was born in the historic Ogbunike Caves and was believed to have made powerful spiritual pacts in her lifetime. According to family sources, she vowed that no one would see her unclothed and live. The claim was so intense that even her husband reportedly had to be blindfolded anytime they shared intimate moments.

Her life ended abruptly on February 21, 2022, in a fatal crash on her way to Nsukka. Everyone on board, including her 8-year-old last child, died instantly. While the child was buried the next day, strange events allegedly began almost immediately.

Mysterious Well Visitor
The widower later revealed that, for several nights, he saw someone sitting motionlessly on the well in his compound. Thinking it was a night vigilante, he ignored it—until the vigilantes confirmed none of them ever visited his home.

Then the sightings stopped.

A few days later, the grieving husband visited the mortuary to see his wife’s body—only to find her still wearing the crash-site clothes. The attendants claimed they had been unable to touch her. Two workers who attempted to wash or embalm the corpse reportedly developed sudden, unexplained ailments, coughing blood before dying within days.

A Corpse That Keeps Moving
Her body was transferred from the mortuary in Adazi Ani to St. Maurice Mission Hospital in Ekwulobia. Three days later, the corpse vanished. It was eventually found in a primary school field in Ebonyi State.

The tragedies continued.

By late 2023, titled men in the extended family allegedly began shouting her name at night before dying suddenly. Each time, the corpse reportedly disappeared again—sometimes for months—before being discovered in another location.

A dibia who recommended immediate burial died the next morning from suspected poisoning.

Out of fear, the family secretly moved the body to a mortuary in Cameroon in June last year, where it has remained abandoned according to sources.



The Latest Photo That Sparked Panic
Early this year, the husband began seeing the same strange figure sitting at the well again. But it was last night that events took a frightening turn.

At exactly midnight, he woke up to the sound of deep, painful crying outside. When he looked through his window, he saw a white, motionless figure standing on the well—bearing the unmistakable shape of his late wife.

With trembling hands, he snapped a photo using his Google Pixel phone. The image was later digitally enhanced to reveal a clearer look at the entity’s face. According to him, it is unquestionably that of ‘Da Nnaputa’.

“This Spirit Is Angry”
The investigator who has been quietly following the case since September confirmed receiving the images tonight, adding that the situation indicates “a deeply unsettled spirit.”

A physical intervention is reportedly being arranged this weekend to determine what is truly happening around the compound and why the priestess’s body has remained unsettled for nearly three years.

Is that the unchangeable dress she put on at death or she has changed her wardrobe

Ibo film lovers

Nollywood script don ready

You people claim to be Africans, but are still doubting the story. Didn't you read the part where it was stated that she was a priestess?

If you know the type of mystery surrounding traditional worship, you will never doubt such a story.

Please name your village and leave Africa out of this. I’m African and we don’t believe in stories about dead bodies roaming the country and posing for pictures.

That you don't believe, doesn't mean it is not happening. Haven't you heard of people who died, then relocate to another state to start a second life?

That woman was a priestess, and even though I am not a traditional worshiper or a fan of it, I know those people possess some demonic powers that can scare you.

There is a very powerful river in that Ogbunike cave, if this story is true, carry the corpse to the river and bury her inside that river

She probably went shopping from the other side.
