I have been to the Gambaga Witchcamp with my Sixth Form students before. What goes on there is just Human Abuse and No Nonsense. Why is that men are not sent there for treatment from Witchcraft or men can’t be witches. I understand that the Gambaga Witchcraft Center has been banned from operations. Let us use our brains to make reasonable reasons and decisions sometimes.

The world is full of all mysteries but with reference to this particular case it could also be that she has developed a mental disorder which compelled her and uncontrollably ( which is stronger at night) climbed the tree and in hours of the morning started gaining her mental capabilities now finds it difficult to come.
I worked in a Mental Hospital where I noticed a woman making queer really queer noises which didn’t sound like that made by a human being. If one didn’t see her and only heard the noise she made would think this is not from a human being.
She might therefore need medical and psychological attention.
Some with mental illnesses present diverse ways.
It’s possible she has a mental disorder presenting unusual patterns. This is not say there are no witches
but presentations might be depicting funny signs and symptoms of mental disorders.
Her relatives are hereby advised to send to a psychiatric or mental hospital for assessment and treatment.

I want posted on this forum that there are various forms of neurological disorders that many a time can make people behave strangely. I remember growing up in Wiamoase in the Ashanti Region where there is the biggest and tallest Seventh Day Adventist church building. One fine very early morning when the person responsible for towing the Church bell in the morning went to do it, he was met by about five Goats on the roof. Nobody knows how they got there but the Goats were immediately classified to be witches who went on night operations and couldn’t get home earlier. As day broke, many children, including myself decided to stone the Goats on the roofs. All the townsfolk came around to witness the situation. I very much remember it when Pastors and Church elders offered prayers to the stranded Goats for deliverance. Yet, we the Children continued to rain stones at them. It was really very funny
I have chanced to put across on this forum that there are various levels or degrees in madness. The supposed lady needs a mental evaluation and treatment before her situation gets out of hand. Let us not talk about Witchcraft here. The lady needs a proper medical evaluation and treatment. Don’t let us talk about Witchcraft here.

Zionism is evil? What about the shooting and killing about 1200 Jews who were just hanging around and having fun, and kidnapping over 200 Jews and taking them to underground tunnels and dungeons. The Women were unwantonly raped and some of them were impregnated. The kidnapped men were very much tortured, maltreated, and some of them were even killed. In such a situation, what do you expect the People of Israel, Headed by Benjamin Netanyahu to do? Those Palestinians at Gaza knew what the Jews would do. The People of Gaza bit more than they could chew. They shot and killed about 1200 Jews. How many Gaza people and other Palestinians have been killed or slaughtered by the Jews? Over 61,000 of the Palestinians and other Arabs. Is that what the PLO People wanted. Israel is well Armed and supported by Uncle Sam. Israel has the Atomic and Nuclear Bombs and can wipe any Arab country from the Surface of the Earth. Israel did not start this war. It was the Palestinians at Gaza who started it and have painfully paid for their nonsense. Blame the Palestinians for the havoc that they have brought upon themselves. It is just bad but it is difficult to blame Israel. They are always fighting for their survival from the Arabs since the State of Israel was founded. The Arabs should just accept and understand that with support from USA and some Western countries, Hamas can never defeat Israel so they don’t have to start any fight with the people of Israel.

True that Hamas attacked Israel but prior to that Israel had been eliminating both Palestinians and hamas at will. If Israel thinks hamas was responsible for the October attack why kill women and children to the extent of starving them. Anyone who supports Israel in the genocide will suffer curses. What both of them need is peace and acceptance of their legitimate right to exist. No one should think that what happened to Jews under Hitler cannot reoccur if Israel continues on its atrocities. There's no way Israel can exist so long as it seeks to wipe out an entire race

It is a medical conditon .It happenned in Europe and people were actually burnt yo death as witches until they realised,nd made a legislation against it ,and,hey presto! Nobody was called a witch anymore because the accussers could not prove their case beyond reasonable doubt. That law is in our parliament but the frog Akufo Addo was too busy enacting laws for Wontumi and co to enter our forests.Once that law is enacted, you will see the end of such nkwaseasem.

Religion can sometimes be very funny and challenging. If God created Adam and Eve and put them in the Garden of Eden? That is fine and understandable. If Cain killed Abel, that is understandable. Cain according to the Good Book had some marks made on his face and driven from the Garden of Eden so that anybody who sees him would not kill him. This seems ridiculous because if Cain was sacked from the Garden of Eden, who was he going to meet? Who did Cain marry? Our Bible does not give us any answers. Where did he go after leaving the Garden of Eden. If God created Man in his own image, why are some people Black, White, Brown and Chocolate in color. It leads us to believe that the first people, that is Adam and Eve were Blacks because it has been proven that one can get every color from Black but not Black from any color.
If God created the first people in THEIR own image, then it means that the CREATORS of Humans were Blacks because it is in the Bible that God said : LET US CREATE MAN IN OUR OWN IMAGE? Sounds confusing. That means God ALONE did not create man (create MAN IN OUR OWN IMAGE). He created with some people or entities. Was Lucifer one of them before he became Satan? Lucifer, according to the Bible was able to convince Adam and Eve that if they ate from the forbidden tree, they would become intelligent. Is this also very true? Well, I leave that to your imagination and beliefs.

My family bought a house in my holy village. There was a big pear tree at the backyard. A woman next door claimed the tree was hers because she planted it. Although the tree was in our backyard she started a fight, and would come every morning to sweep the under of the tree. In the end the police came in, and inspector advised that we cut down the pear tree. So the tree was felled, and the woman next door died. There are things. Some people said they were a gang who held their meetings on top of the tree. Please don't insult me, I beg.

Don’t bring tribalism here. All tribes or ethnic groups in Ghana believe in such abnormalities. Yes, the people of Israel also believed in Witchcraft. Have you heard or read that the people of Israel once consulted the Witch of Endor when they were about to fight the Amalekites but God was angry and would not listen to their consultations. The answer that the supposed witch that they consulted came to pass . You can Google search the Witch of Endor in the Bible and you can possibly find the chapter and the Book in the Bible. I don’t know but believe it is in the First Book of Samuel.
