A witchdoctor in Zambia is on the run from authorities after a scheme surrounding 'moving coffins' and magic spells created creepy chaos in one village. According to a report out of the country, the yet-to-be-identified sorcerer said that he could help grieving families avenge the loss of their loved ones by way of a rather unorthodox method. According to the witchdoctor, he possessed the ability to use the person's coffin as a tracking device, of sorts, and find the party responsible for their demise.
This service, of course, came at a cost, with the witchdoctor offering two different options which were actually a rather clever bit of marketing. For a reasonable cost, pallbearers would carry the crime-fighting coffin as it led the sorcerer towards the person assumed to also be some practitioner of the dark arts and, in turn, the one who killed the occupant of the casket. And, for more than triple the price, the coffin alone would go after the 'killer' presumably resembling a planchette hovering by itself over a Ouija board.
His plan apparently worked as there were so many people looking to take him up on the offer that authorities were forced to intervene because bodies weren't being buried! Find out how this weird situation was resolved at the Coast to Coast AM website.
