Episode 1: The Death That Stirred the Camp.
Death came quietly for Akyale- a girl of the Bayangi tribe, bright-eyed and full of promise. One week, she was seen walking to school, the next she was gone, buried in haste. But it was not the death itself that shook the people of Limbe’s Middle Farm camp—it was what followed.
Akyale had once been a classmate of Ernest, the older brother of a boy named Achuor. The news of her sudden death spread like wildfire, casting a dark cloud over the community. People didn’t talk about her being sick. There was no accident. No clear explanation. Just a hushed burial and an overwhelming feeling that something wasn’t right.
And so, as is tradition in certain parts of Cameroon, the family placed a sword on her chest before laying her to rest. It was an old ritual—one not often spoken about in public but known well among the elders. The sword was meant to call her spirit to justice. If anyone had a hand in her death, her soul would rise and seek vengeance.
Days passed. Then whispers began.
“She was seen at the school gate...”
“A woman said she vanished into a wall...”
“Children refused to go near the toilets after dark....”
No one could explain it, but everyone felt it: Akyale was not at peace. Her spirit had become restless. Sightings increased. People claimed she showed herself during daylight, not just at night. She was angry -not just because she was dead, but because she couldn’t touch the one who caused it.
But the most chilling encounter was still to come.
And it would begin with a boy, a lavatory, and a morning before dawn.
