Naked Woman Sparks Chaos in Natview Park as Residents Debate Witchcraft, Possession
MUTARE, April 28, 2026 — Residents of Natview Park in Mutare were left shocked on Tuesday morning after a young woman, believed to be in her early 30s, was seen walking naked through the suburb while behaving aggressively and making disturbing claims.
Witnesses said the unidentified woman moved around the area without clothes and resisted repeated efforts by local women to cover her. Anyone who attempted to approach her was reportedly met with violent resistance.
According to residents, the woman repeatedly shouted that she had been killed by her boyfriend, leaving many onlookers confused and alarmed.
“She kept saying, ‘My boyfriend killed me,’ over and over again. People were scared because she became violent whenever anyone tried to help her,” said one resident who spoke to The Wasu Post.
The bizarre incident quickly drew a large crowd, with residents offering different explanations for her behaviour. Some suspected she was pretending to be mentally unstable to hide witchcraft activities, while others believed she was possessed by an avenging spirit, commonly referred to in local culture as ngozi.
“This is not normal. Maybe she is being haunted by ngozi because no ordinary person can behave like that,” said another resident at the scene.
Others urged the community to avoid speculation and seek professional help for the woman.
“She needs medical attention, not people laughing and making accusations,” another witness told The Wasu Post.
Tension rose as some residents discussed restraining the woman before contacting police authorities for assistance.
The Wasu Post was present at the scene and observed dozens of residents gathered as the drama unfolded. However, the reporter left before the woman was apprehended, and it was not immediately clear whether police or medical personnel later intervened.
Incidents involving suspected mental health distress or unexplained public behaviour often attract crowds and rumours in residential suburbs, highlighting the need for swift intervention by health and law enforcement officials.
