Just the other day, I heard a story that emanated from the recent Accra floods. This one is really funny, so I thought to share it. It Involved some two not exactly brave police constables. They had been deployed in some flooded area to prevent people from taking advantage and looting other people's property.
These two police men were bent on making sure no one escaped with stolen goods. Soon, they saw a man who carried a brand new coffin on his head. Aparently, this man had taken advantage of an unburried copse regaled with ornamentals and gold objects- a copse whose burial had been disorganized by the devastating floods. This man was carrying the coffin to a safer location so that he could, with ease, loot it's content.
One of the police men spotted the man carrying the coffin. He was curious. He drew the attention of the other, and they both attempted to approach the man. But whiles attempting to approach him, one of the police men shouted out to the man carrying the coffin thus ' where are you going carrying a coffin on your heard'?
The man carrying the coffin responded ' Oh well, actually, I'm relocating myself because of the floods'.
Upon hearing this reponse, the two AK47 Gun-wielding police men took to their heels knowing that they had met a ghost relocating after the floods.
So: Can we say these two police men are animists, and this has affected their work?
