Panic and fear have gripped a family in Kisii County after they woke up to a chilling discovery—a white coffin placed right outside their newly built home.
According to locals, the incident happened just days after the family completed the construction of their beautiful three-bedroom house, which had attracted admiration from neighbors. What was supposed to be a season of joy quickly turned into confusion and suspicion.
Residents who rushed to the scene were left speechless, wondering who could have placed the coffin there and what message it was meant to send. In many African cultures, a coffin is strongly associated with death, and placing one outside a home is often viewed as a bad omen or an act of intimidation linked to witchcraft, jealousy, or unresolved disputes.
The family, still shaken by the incident, expressed fear for their safety and called upon the authorities to investigate. Neighbors, on the other hand, believe the act could have been fueled by envy, especially since the family had just completed their modern home—a rare achievement in the area.
Community elders have also been urged to intervene and perform cleansing rituals to drive away any negative spirits or curses that could be associated with the strange occurrence.
As investigations continue, the incident has sparked heated discussions in Kisii about witchcraft, jealousy, and the dangers that sometimes come with success.
