| Caption: | The Story of 'Chamfwiti', The Tree of Witches The Tree of Witches, 'Chamfwiti', stands at Chitope Village in the Lower Luangwa Valley, about 55kms north of Luangwa (Feira). Local folklore has it that when witches and wizards were killed, their bodies were dumped in the hollow trunk of this baobab at the edge of the village. The last recorded instance of this being in 1952. Villagers say a colonial District Officer once entered to tree to collect a skull for a museum, but he was chased away by a big snake. It's certainly a sinister and spooky tree. Any modern-day doubters can go inside and see what are claimed to be remnants of human skulls. |
