Football and juju are bosom buddies, with many players and teams depending on the latter to win that spot kick or score from the mid-field.
In Africa, many teams travel around with their medicine men to enhance their chances of winning.
But if you thought juju is an African problem, ask football fans in a small town in Argentina.
A ‘ghost’ was recently captured on video running around the pitch as two minnows, Racing Club and River Plate squared it out.
Interestingly, everyone who was in the stadium, including players and fans, did not see it.
“The figure of what appears to be a young man was seen jogging around the perimeter of a football pitch field in Argentina.
“It went back and forth at some speed as though he was using the edge as a running track but the crowd, stewards and players apparently failed to see it,” reported the UK’s Mirror newspaper.
Some people accused whoever filmed the soccer match of making up the ‘ghost’ in the video but they were silenced but others who claimed to have seen the same figure during the live match.
Now, between the Argentine witchdoctors and those from Africa, who do you think are more potent? My take is the ones who can make a ‘ghost’ appear on video.
