Abstract
the weird voice of the nocturnal agent and the fearful sound that ac-company it lend to the darkness of the night a sure feeling of spirit presence. It parades the close peripheries of people’s homes, singing lampoons, calling derogatory names and exposing the deeds of crim- inals within the community, warning them to repent before nemesis overtakes them from the ancestral realm (2013: 20).
