The spirits, the witches, African Tokoloshe, superstitions, experiences and the tales

Heard the same said about the battle field at of Gettysburg. Never been and I must apologise if I’ve spelt it wrong. Been to Auschwitz that definitely gets the hairs on your neck standing up can’t explain it it’s different to the Rwandan mass graves and Cambodia which I’ve also visited in my travels.
Sometimes the shives or that goose just jump on your grave!

Then again you can get the tax payer to cough up….

When I was around 10 years old we stayed at a British army camp in Germany with friends of my parents...we visited belsen concentration camp....even at that age I noticed it was totally silent..not even a bird sound....
 
I used to date an Afrikaans girl who grew up in a high veld farm family, dating back generations. She once told me when the Zulus who worked alongside her family would learn her mother had given birth, they would gather amongst themselves and give the newborn a Zulu name. When the youngest sister was born, she was given a name that roughly translated to “Enough of the daughters, time for a son”. Wouldn’t you know it, a couple of years later, a son was born. She shrugged and wondered just how they knew… but know they did.

In the Transkei region, I’ve seen women — witch doctors? — manifesting openly wandering down the road. Demonic possession, without question.

At Kalahari Safari, the Small Things Are the Big Things
The thrill of the stalk. The stillness of the wait. The age-old rhythm of the hunt.
It’s not just about the size of the trophy. It’s about the stories that will be told for years.
We believe the memories are the true prize. The small things are the big things.
And we’re proud to offer a hunting experience that honours exactly that.

Not sure your price range. Have a 375 H&H with a muzzle brake. Nice rifle only fired a few times. Also a Mossberg 375 Ruger its been used and shows a few hunts on it.
