A family in a quiet village in Kakamega says they are under a curse, and the claim has left many residents uneasy. The Wekesa family went public with their troubles recently, explaining a run of bad events that started months ago. Peter Wekesa, 52, told me their maize crop failed even though the rains came on time. Then their dairy cow got sick and died without much warning. Not long after, their oldest son had a small accident on his motorbike. Nothing life-threatening, but enough to make them worry.
“It felt like one problem after another,” Peter said. “We started asking ourselves hard questions.” People in the village began talking. Some pointed to jealousy from neighbours. Others brought up old family disagreements that never got settled. What started as quiet whispers turned into real fear. Peter’s wife, Naomi, said the stress hit home hard. “We could not sleep,” she remembers. “Every small sound at night made us panic.”
The younger kids overheard talk about curses and spiritual attacks. They got scared. Grades at school slipped. Friends and relatives stopped coming by as often. Many in rural parts of Kenya still take beliefs in curses seriously. When things go wrong in a row, families sometimes look for spiritual reasons. The Wekesas are not alone in feeling this way, though no one has confirmed any curse exists. Read more https://drbokko.com/?p=37329
