Sunday News reported that though thieves were only able to remove some parts of the trailer like its tyres, villagers claim that whatever is left of the trailer abandoned at Dopota, Hwange
along the Bulawayo-Victoria Falls highway, Zimbabwe, cannot be touched as an invisible hand slaps anyone who tries to do such.The trailer
was abandoned in 2010 by a driver who was ferrying coal from Hwange to Harare
after it broke down. Although the trailer load was later offloaded into another
truck, the owner has not bothered to tow the trailer.
Villagers and
traditional leaders told the publication that the trailer has remained
relatively intact because everyone who attempted to take its remaining parts
have been slapped by invisible “guards”.
A villager,
Samuel Mugande said for some strange reason, the mystical creatures guarding
the trailer only attack those who attempt to steal.
He said;
“The most
interesting part about these incidences is that those that are mostly attacked
are those individuals trying to steal from the trailer. People, especially
truck drivers, are the culprits that are often attacked by these things when
stop and try to steal wheels."
Dopota
Village head, Tryness Ngwenya confirmed the strange incidents adding that
villagers strongly believed that the trailer was haunted.
It is alleged
that the incidents started happening a few months after a villager who was left
in charge of the trailer when it broke down, told its owner that people were
trying to steal its tyres and boards.
The owner
reportedly came to Dopota village and afterwards told her not to worry anymore.
That was the time when reports of people being assaulted by unknown beings
began to surface.
