This was the case with one chap in Zimbabwe, who came up with a queer way of robbing people’s houses.
Norman Chagwiza (27) of Gutu district in Masvingo has earned the term ‘ghost man’ in Zimbabwe and the reasons are as hilarious as they are bizarre.
Apparently, Chagwiza has been dressing up in a ghost costume in a bid to frighten his victims away before proceeding to rob them.
