About this listen
Today, we’re digging into a truly spine-chilling piece of South African folklore: the Tokoloshe. A creature whispered about in hushed tones across generations, cultures, and provinces. Whether he’s a mischievous spirit, a deadly monster, or a product of fear and folklore, the Tokoloshe has become one of South Africa’s most persistent and terrifying legends.
We explore the chilling origins of the creature, strange rituals for protection, and modern sightings that suggest this legend isn’t just alive—it’s lurking in the dark, waiting.
🔮 What is the Tokoloshe?
👣 Why are some beds still raised on bricks today?
🛌 And who still believes?
Join us for a journey through midnight myths, real-life encounters, and the blurred line between the supernatural and the psychological.
