👻Episode 4: Silence Is Safer. Whispers from the Other Side

 

By Grace Antiedu & Nana Ama Acheampomaa

Achuor never told a soul.

Not his parents. Not Ernest. Not the man whose room he accidentally entered that dawn. He returned home that morning pale, shivering, and silent. No one asked—maybe they didn’t want to know. In places like Limbe, silence is often safer than truth.

But the encounter marked him.

After that day, Achuor avoided the lavatory path at dawn. He no longer lingered in the yard alone. And sometimes, in the middle of the night, he’d wake up sweating, heart pounding, with the image of a decaying face hovering just above his own.

The family eventually moved out of Middle Farm camp. Life went on. New surroundings, new friends, new routines. But Achuor carried something no relocation could erase: the memory of a spirit who should have rested, but didn’t.

Akyale’s sightings gradually stopped. People said maybe she finally gave up… or maybe the person who killed her died, and she was now at peace. But those who remember that time—the rumors, the whispers, the cold wind on a still day—they know better.

Some spirits don’t find peace.

They simply find silence.
