In South Africa, hundreds of people have travelled to meet and talk to Nkosinathi Ntsente who was shot, died and buried eight years ago.
Ntsente now spends his day re-telling the same story to the crowds who walk great distances to talk to him. “I’m tired of telling the same story, the whole day, every day,” he told the Daily Dispatch.

Ntsente story begins when he saw the gunmen approach in a white minibus and how a man near him and who looked very similar to him was riddled with bullets. It was this badly injured “double” that was taken to St. Barnabus Hospital in Libode.
The taxi driver says he was even present at the funeral that was held for the “double” after his death.
In fact, Ntsente remembers seeing the “double” at the hospital and even there when the body was taken to the mortuary and cut open.
It was at the funeral when four witches approached Ntsente and took him off to a dark forest. He was not alone there as the witches had collected very many other abducted people.
“We mostly drank blood and ate izinsipa (used sorghum) and wild berries. I was released after witches said I was too powerful for them to make me do evil things,” says Ntsente.
His family have welcomed him back, claiming that the funeral surprised them as they had always believed he had been abducted.
In Pure Spirit
What do you think? If this “double” was just some other person then why does Ntsente remember the body being moved to the mortuary? Could this have been an out of body experience?
Or could this Ntsente actually be the “double” and an imposter?
