A small shape in the dark. A weight on the chest. A presence blamed for sickness, scandal, and death, and feared as something that can be sent by human hands. In this episode, we trace the tokoloshe through Southern African belief, its protective rituals, and the chilling moments where folklore bleeds into real-world violence and courtroom history.
