Man slept in the grave for 30 years for spiritual powers

Ghana: A 40-year-old man Philip Mensah, from the New Juaben Municipality of the Eastern Region of Ghana has shocked people with his bizarre lifestyle after it was discovered that he has been sleeping inside graves for the past 30 years.


During an interview with Brty Fm, a Koforidua-based radio station, Mensah revealed that he has spent the last 30 years sleeping with the dead in their damaged tombs, and according to him, he did to gain spiritual powers.


Mensah said in his search for spiritually powers, he ended up under the Mentor-ship of a spiritualist Togbe Azakli who instructed him to leave his house and move to the broken tomb.

Here is his interview;

“My desire is to gain powers that will enable me to discover hidden secrets like how to tell when one will die, one’s future, how to retrieve stolen items, how to make spiritual money, among many others, made me pay heed to the advice of Togbe Azakli who directed me to spend time with the dead in their broken tombs to gain the spiritual powers that I have been wishing for over the past years.”

Mensah said he successfully completed his stay with the dead in the tombs but got into trouble after the ritual ceremony adding that he has become addicted to sleeping in broken tombs ever since he completed his spiritual assignment.

Speaking further, he said that though he got the powers he seeks, he has also cultivated a negative attitude that is negatively affecting his life.

“I cannot spend even two hours of my life without visiting a cemetery. I battle with different spirits, but I do not suffer any spiritual attack whenever I stay in my new home- cemetery.

“Life has become unbearable for me because I cannot even stay with the living and make money out of the powers I have. All efforts to stop this behaviour have proved futile.

I am now living the life of the dead. I advise everybody to be cautious when it comes to issues of spiritualism, especially those that are not related to God.”
