I bought my first car, a second-hand Toyota from Johannesburg. Growing up in a small village, owning one seemed luxurious. Public taxis were scarce, forcing us to walk 10 kilometers to catch one. Carrying heavy groceries back home was unbearable. Buying a car was not only exciting for us but very beneficial. We felt like couple goals because there were only few car owners in our village and we happend to be the youngest couple to own one.
My wife's smile lit up when I drove our new car home. "No more walking!" she exclaimed. We celebrated, envisioning stress-free mornings. Our village life would transform. We kept on smashing goals and achieving our goals right on the time streak we gave ourselves.
We are high school sweethearts who had to keep the relationship afloat when we went to different universities. As we all know, distance can be a bit challenging but we pushed through. We had a vision board where we promised each other to fulfil even if it took us a life time.
After finishing our studies we both didn't struggle to get jobs, we were very lucky in everything we touched. We started saving up for a house while I also separately saved up for lobola. Eventually I paid lobola but didn't have a huge celebration because we were saving that for later when we have smashed all our top priority goals.
The goals were building our dream home which took us longer than anticipated but we did it without loans, now we had bought our first car which was very exciting and we were going to to start a side hustle together and once it was set we were going to buy a second car then start a family.
Buying our first car was very exciting I'm still saying but it has put us off our vision board and delayed all our other dreams.
Strange occurrences began within weeks. Unsettling noises echoed through the car - creaks, knocks, vibrations. Breakdowns followed. Near-misses left me shaken. Nightmares haunted me. I'd wake up sweating.
At night, an eerie presence joined us in bed. Intimacy turned into nightmares,we were always either too tired or too angry at each other for intimacy which was something we had never experienced before buying the car. Fights erupted, tearing us apart. Our marriage crumbled. Sleep evaded us. We had become strangers to each other.
Work suffered. Colleagues whispered; managers questioned my competence. My wife struggled similarly. Sleepy, irritable, distant - our relationship strained. Our troubles were becoming evident and you could just see that things were going wrong. We were both even losing weight and the gossip about our health statuses intensified.
We didn't tell anyone what was happening because we thought no one would believe us. It just didn't make sense and they probably would've thought that we are just making excuses for our failing marriage. The weight loss got our families encouraging each of us separately to end the marriage.
Her family told her to leave the marriage if it was no longer making her happy and the same thing was being said to me by my own family.
Desperate, I consulted a sangoma. "Unresolved protection rituals," he revealed. "Previous owner's dark energy lingers." I was so Shocked, I contacted the dealership and asked for the previous owners contact details. The previous owner did not even beat around the bush or make silly excuses he straight up confessed. He said he did some blood sacrifices, ritualism.
He advised me to use the spirit aswell then sell the car so I can buy a new and better car. He said that would be the only way to break through from the spirit in that car. I couldn't believe what I was hearing,I was being cornered into joining a money cult.
He said it so occasionally as if it was very normal. He even said all i had to do was listen to it and give it the one person that's most important to me in my life then from that point on I'd have all the money in the world and break free from the spirit by selling the car. But there was no way I was willing to sacrifice my wife so I slandered his evil advice.
Determined to break free, we consulted another sangoma. Cleansing rituals ensued, but chaos intensified. Now, the car won't move. Mechanic finds no fault. It functions briefly with mechanic, shuts down afterward. The Original owner vanished, his number now says it doesn't exist.
We're desperate. Seeking advice, guidance. Nightmare persists. Any help? We want to sell the car but somehow the car papers are giving us some issues everytime. The spirit is obviously working overtime to ensure that the car stays with us. We no longer want the car but somehow getting rid of it is almost impossible.
