That’s so sad. Women have so often been the brunt of a male pathology in things like this sort of accusation against the girl. It’s a real tragedy. I can’t imagine how she comes to terms with it all.

Superstitions are so silly and shameful in this way.

Witchcraft and voo-doos have always been common topics among African countries.

Perhaps there is truth about this. But sometimes people suspect skin color has something to do with the practice. Even whites can be a witch or warlock.

It is a pity that the young girl has to suffer torture after being possessed. But I believe in the existence of witchcraft since evil is present in this imperfect world.

But we need to have faith in God to overpower the fear against the evil forces.

Come on, is it the 21st century we’re living in? As Maynard puts it, he believes in witchcraft and warlock, may be, implying a hidden fear for some sort of superstitions and its repercussions.

I really do spite the likes of accusers and hope better sense prevails as soon as possible. Gracia certainly deserves a better treatment.

Witchcraft is part and parcel of african culture for good fortune or threaten your enemies.
Its too bad that even in the Uk, witchcraft is judged they way the rural people in africa do. With literacy and good reason, the educated come to believe that witchcraft is a business out to make a living for those who practice it.
