What travel lover doesn't dream of visiting mysterious Africa? There, in the markets, you can buy a variety of talismans, magic potions and figurines. Did you know that by buying a seemingly harmless souvenir in Africa, you are interfering with the life of the dead?
African idols
Every idol on this continent is a copy of a specific deceased person. African shamans, followers of the Voodoo cult, say that after death, the soul of a person flies around the world and brings evil to the living until it finds a man-made copy of its former body. Having settled in an idol, the soul finds its peace.
The Africans keep the dolls of their relatives, and they try to get rid of the enemy's avatar. No, they do not burn the figure, since the soul of the enemy, having escaped to freedom, will begin to take revenge. These idols are sold in the markets to tourists for pennies, so that they go far overseas. Eyewitnesses who bought such wooden idols say that sometimes they make noise at night or are found in the morning elsewhere.
What do scientists say?
British scientist Don Robinson put forward a theory according to which any craft is capable of accumulating the image of the person who made it at the molecular level. Further, this image is broadcast into space. Scottish physicist Thomas Lesbrid argued that any substance on our planet is capable of accumulating and transmitting energy and information in an electromagnetic form. Emissions of such information appear in the form of ghosts and sounds. Shamans know how to energize any object with the help of the power of thought, and there is no magic here, says Getrud Schmeidler, a professor from Germany.

What do collectors say?
If you are a fan of these toys, here are some tips to neutralize them:
- there should be more “good” idols than “evil” ones;
- idols should not look at each other;
- do not hold feasts and parties in their presence;
- treat the image of a person with respect: greet them, communicate and praise.
Novice curiosity collectors can laugh at these tips. And in vain! All this has been experienced in practice by real collectors with extensive experience.
African gift. The terrible story of Oksana's eyewitness
This story happened to me in 1986. Then I was only 20 years old, I recently married a sailor. A sailor is the dream of every Soviet girl, I had everything: foreign clothes, beautiful furniture and imported equipment. There was only one drawback - my husband was rarely at home, I practically lived on my own.
Once Zhenya, my husband, brought from Africa a huge idol, very beautiful, which we put in the most prominent place in the living room. But as soon as Zhenya set off on his next flight, strange things began to happen in the house: steps and strange sighs at night. After a while, I began to notice that the African gift changes positions every morning. And even later, the situation generally got out of control: in the house, appliances began to randomly turn on, dishes rattled in the kitchen, and the cabinet doors themselves closed and opened. In short, a real poltergeist. Three weeks of horror and I moved to live with my parents before my husband arrived.
Two months passed, Zhenya returned. When we entered the apartment, everything in it was turned upside down. But I knew that these were definitely not thieves, and oddly enough, Zhenya believed me. He said that the deity probably wants to go to his homeland. On the same day, he sent the idol by sending to his friend in Nigeria. After that, no strange things happened in our house.
