Cops in Zimbabwe flee from goblins

[Still Waters]

A pair of police officers searching a man's house in Zimbabwe fled the scene after allegedly discovering goblins that were hiding in a suitcase. The curious case reportedly occurred last month when residents of the village of Dete accused Sanderson Bloom Shamuyashe of poisoning their dogs and cops were dispatched to his home to investigate. As they were looking around the residence for chemicals which could have been used in the sinister slayings, they opened a suitcase and found something far more troubling.

I wonder what kind of beast they're going to have to give him for their slander after the  witch detector guy proves he's innocent?

Well, that's just perfect. 

An invasion of goblins hiding in our homes should round off this year nicely.

You can always tell this is from some third world nation when you read a headline such as this.

Is the USA really any better? We have QAnon going mainstream, flat earthers, anti-vaxxers, over 50% of the population believes in "angels", our whole anti-mask thing, all the guns, the Satanic Panic of the 80's, etc, etc, etc.

You can always tell the comment is from an american when it's so ethnocentric

[Humbled Hypocrite83]

I would have both the cops drug tested and mentally evaluated

It got so BAD... That they contacted the police...

I'd rather run away from Goblins than Gremlins!

US cops wouldn't flee, they always shoot.

I was referring to the fact US cops wouldn't flee. They would be to busy shooting the "goblins." I believe the topic headline was changed and had no nation attached to it when I responded. Something like "Cops flee from Goblins."

 “There is no goblin that they saw, I even advised village head Simanyayi, former councillor, my father-in-law and other villagers to enlist the services of tsikamutandas to root out such goblins. I told them that if they fail to root out such invisible things they have to give me a beast.”
 

Lol. I imagine he’s going to win that bet.

Given the numbers of "witches", and such, that are regularly charged and executed in areas of Africa, id imagine finding evidence of "goblins" actually will be pretty easy. After all the "good" evidence the cops saw goblins was that one left shoes behind when they ran away. A cow/goat of a neighbor goes dry.... "Aha! Goblins!!"... Then bring out the bag of Big Rocks, time to punish a sorcerer....

Goblins in a suitcase. I remember seeing that in a movie, maybe it is taken from that movie.

The house owner denies having any goblins and wants his name cleared. A witch doctor could prove there was never any such creatures! More: Coast to Coast goblins terrify cops

(Sighs) This is EXACTLY what happens when you have a society ruled by superstition, fairy tales and mythology.

[psyche101]

It's amazing that in this day and age that grown men employed as law enforcement would actually return to the source of employment and state that goblins foiled their raid. 

This is modern day insanity.
