What started as an unusual claim from a househelp has quickly spiraled into a chilling mystery that has unsettled a Nairobi family and sparked heated debate online.
The strange incident began earlier this week in a quiet residential estate, when the househelp reportedly raised an alarm after a man who had come to the house allegedly transformed into a snake before vanishing.
Shaken and skeptical, the homeowner decided to verify the claim by reviewing CCTV footage from her security cameras. What she found only deepened the mystery.
According to a viral clip shared on social media, the footage appeared to show unexplained glitches, flickering lights, and a shadowy figure moving in an unusual manner before disappearing abruptly. While some viewers dismissed the recording as distorted footage or an optical illusion, others were quick to describe it as evidence of something supernatural.
The househelp, visibly traumatized by the incident, has since taken leave, saying she could no longer stay in the home out of fear. The family has not filed an official report with the police but has instead turned to religious leaders to pray over the house.
Meanwhile, neighbors in the estate have expressed both worry and fascination, with many visiting the home to hear the story firsthand. Online, the video has reignited Kenya’s age-old fascination with tales of witchcraft, spirits, and unexplained occurrences.
Whether it was simply a camera malfunction, a psychological reaction to fear, or something beyond human understanding, the incident has left the family shaken and searching for answers. One thing remains certain: CCTV footage may not always capture the full story, but it has once again fueled the enduring debate between science, technology, and the supernatural in Kenya.
