I thought the rumours of people coming back to life after death and forming new lives elsewhere were just a Nigerian thing. Apparently, it’s not. The Ghanaian in today’s #ShortReads read yesterday’s entry and decided to share their own story. Also in today’s newsletter, we took our academic fashion ranking to Nigerian Polytechnics and shared some of our favourite old-but-gold stories.

In Obuasi, she joined a group formed by people who’d migrated from our village. We only found out when one lady from Obuasi decided to visit our village. My great-grandmother gave this lady some items and asked that the items be given to my grandmother. It was when the lady got to our village that she realised they’d been living with a ghost. The lady returned to Obuasi and went to my great-grandmother’s house. People in the compound told her my great-grandma had just entered her room after washing in the compound. But they didn’t find her in the room. They searched everywhere, but no one ever saw her again.” — Ama. Your story could be the next one featured here.
