When a malevolent spirit haunts your home, what will you do? When Fred Kamau Kirima and his wife Wangui Muthoni purchased a four-bedroom house along the eastern bypass in Rungiri, Kikuyu, Kiambu County, along with a nicely decorated cottage, they had to consider this matter. They purchased the house for KSh 9 million, which appeared like a good deal for such a large and exquisite piece of real estate. They were glad to have at last gotten close to Nairobi and be rid of the burden of paying rent when they relocated in with their only child, who had just started fourth grade.
Early in 2022, they anticipated living a contented and affluent life in their new house. But they quickly discovered that there was a serious problem with the house.

However, he quickly regretted his choice. Things began to get strange three months into their stay, but before then, the little child living there could always swear he saw someone in the sitting room, in the hallways, and out on the balcony. He described the individual as a bearded man wearing a cap with a mixed expression of anger and sadness. The stranger would gaze at him, he claimed, and then vanish.
