EDITOR’S NOTE: Some of our readers have been sceptical about some recent stories we have published, stories that border on witchcraft and the mysterious.

Those stories are very true and our aim is to encourage those who are afflicted by evil and unfamiliar spirits to seek the face of God for salvation in any word-believing church. The objective, therefore, is not to promote any church and we have no such intentions.

The following story is bizarre and might offend public sensibilities, but is worth publishing. THANKS

THIS is the story of an eleven-year-old-girl who had practised witchcraft in the last five years and practically overturned the fortunes of her family.

She was exorcised by Prophet Michael Osei of the Ebenezer Healing Church, Kasoa, after she delivered a live snake in the presence of hundreds of worshippers last week Friday during an all night service at the church premises.

“My name is Patricia. I am eleven years old and I am a witch.

The witchcraft was given to me by my grandmother after whom I was named (Nana Afriyie) who passed it through food to me about five years ago when I was only six.

“That night, she came for me spiritually to the witches’ camp where she and the other witches gave me meat to eat but the piece of meat was too big for my throat and it choked me.

They then held my legs and arms and stretched me as if I was rubber until the meat in my throat went down to my stomach.
“After that I began vomiting.

The following day, I became very ill but my grandmother warned me never to tell anybody about what I went through during the night.

My sickness made me to cry every night. My other grandmother who was not a witch did not understand why I cried every night and often gave me an enema of ground ginger.

“During this period, I used the witchcraft to destroy a lot of things in my family. For example, I killed my uncle, (my father’s elder brother) who was very rich.

I did so through the instructions of his wife who was also a member of our witches’ gang. I have also given witchcraft to my younger sister.”

According to Patricia, this went on until she turned eleven. She could no longer bear the fact that she was a witch.

She had become so powerful in the witches’ world and had already caused so much havoc to her family and friends that she wanted very much to return to normal life.

That was why she decided to reveal her nocturnal activities to her father. She had no one to turn to after she decided to end it all, especially when the witches threatened to kill her if she quit their camp.

Patricia’s father did not believe what his young daughter told him and initially took it as a joke, “but then when I revealed to him that I killed his brother and that I was responsible for his financial difficulties as well as the failed life of his younger brother, he sat up and became very concerned about it.

After thinking of it for some minutes during which I saw tears in his eyes, he asked me, ‘Pat, what can we do to help you out of this?’

“I told him to take me to any strong man of God to exorcise me. I emphasized to him that my witchcraft was extraordinary because I did my nocturnal rounds as a dragon....a very dangerous, fiery animal and that no ordinary person could work on me and relieve me of the witchcraft,” she said.

“The day I confessed to my father became a very sad day for my parents. They prayed over it for sometime and then decided to take me to a man of God, at another part of Kasoa, with the hope that he would exorcise me and purge me of the witchcraft.”

According to Patricia, the pastor was too weak spiritually to confront her witchcraft and after several weeks of prayers and fasting, he could not confront the witchcraft spirit in her, so she went back home.

Then there was this other pastor of a very popular church at MaCarthy Hill, near Accra where she was later taken to.

“The head pastor was okay but a junior pastor in whose care I was entrusted compounded my problems,” she said.

According to her, immediately they went to his premises, she realised that the so-called man of God in whom my parents had placed all their hopes was also a wizard.

“I did not immediately tell my father but kept my cool and waited to see what he could do,” she stated.

“In the process of exorcising me, the pastor surprisingly placed a huge snake in my stomach through a concoction he gave me to drink. The concoction was blood and I had to spend the night with him and his wife.

“In the night, he woke me up spiritually and we went out to eat. After the meals, he contracted me to go and kill a man spiritually, which I did.

He also programmed the snake in my stomach so that I could command it to go out at night and kill my father to bring to a halt the exorcism,” she added.

According to Patricia, the pastor did not want her to abandon the witchcraft; he rather wanted to enslave her and give her contracts to kill others.

Some days later, I told my parents about what the pastor had done to me.

This surprised my father so much because the pastor had told him that he had exorcised me and freed me of the witchcraft... having collected an unspecified (very huge) amount of money from him (my father), who was already tottering under unbearable debts as a result of my misdeeds in witchcraft.

“He was very sceptical about what I told him and called me a liar but I insisted that the witchcraft was still in me and that he should take me to another man of God to exorcise me. He became very quiet and sad. At that point, I felt very sorry for him.”

“After I spiritually terminated the life of his elder brother, who was a pillar of support in his life, my father’s life had changed; he was no longer the man I knew as my father.

“I had used the witchcraft to destroy his business and whisked all his money, millions of cedis away to the witches’ camp to make him suffer many hardships in life. But then I was under the instructions of my grandmother and the other witches”.

Patricia said whenever she expressed the determination to quit the camp, authorities at the camp showed her the pot containing all the monies she had whisked from her father and other members of her family and warned her that the money would not be returned to her if she quit the camp and that her father would be a pauper all his life.

“This meant that even if I quit the camp, the purpose of my quitting would be defeated and my father would not be as he was before.

It was a hard decision for me to take, especially when they threatened to kill me,” she said, adding that she was torn between the devil and the deep blue sea.

Then my father heard about Prophet Michael Osei.

His name is a ripple in the witches’ world because of his immense powers. I urged my father to try him because I was determined to get rid of the witchcraft.

I also knew that he was strong enough to protect me from the witches after I have quit the camp.

It was a different thing altogether when Patricia was sent to Prophet Osei.

The prophet told them straight-away that there was a witch’s pot, a cowrie in her stomach as well as a live snake in her private parts and that he would have to remove them before she could be completely exorcised.

The following week, the witches’ pot was commanded out of the little girl. What was baffling was that the moment the pot, about the size of her fist, came out of her mouth thick smoke blew out of it.

The following week, in the presence of the congregation, a cowrie was also commanded out of the stomach of Patricia by Prophet Osei.

The climax of Patricia’s exorcism was last week Friday, during the all-night service, when a live snake was commanded out of her private part.

Many of the large number of worshippers wondered how that long, big snake (about three feet) could have lived in her parts for so long.

It was a sight as the snake (a deadly mamba) came out of the girl and in the glaring video lights, became confused and attempted to slip away.

Hell broke lose and people started running helter-skelter to avoid being bitten by the snake which had raised its head high and hissing in a vengeful pose.

It was not until the Prophet quickly hit it hard with a cross that it remained in its tracks.
