When Lawrence"s family needed to get rid of a ghost, the elders had a solution

This is a true life story of my family, though we had a broken home. This happened in 1972 in Lagos, Nigeria, while my sister and I were living with my mother and father.

I started to see something strange in white robe every evening. After that, I became afraid to sleep at night. One day we were about to sleep at night. Because we felt heat, the windows were open. At about 1:00 a.m., a wind was blowing through the windows.


 After some 30 minutes, the entire room turned into pandemonium.

My mother got up and rebuked the ghost and told him to go back to the sender. After daybreak, my mother consulted the elders and she was advised to perform a traditional sacrifice that involved cooking food with a white ram. The day of this ceremony, we dished a meal and to my surprise the next daybreak we saw a sign that he did come to eat the food.

Since then, there has no more problem.
