From here the anchor who happened to be the scientist described the behavior of hippos in general he said it was very unusual for hippos to kill so many people at one go and that it does not attack till provoked. Now the scientist started working on theory of woo do and finally got invited to a wodoo ritual of cleansing a village of such animal wodoo figures,the wodoo doctor invited the spirits of his ancestors and was able to pinpoint a location where a wodoo image lay buried when the place was dug up it revealed a hole of some kind,the scientist was asked to rerieve the wodoo image which he refused but agreed once sprinkled with holy water and he said that he felt the figure wodoo move,once placed in water there were bubbles as if something was breathing thereafter the wodoo witch doctor deactivated the wodoo image of hippopotamus and the villagers were relieved of the constant lingering fear of being attacked by animals possessed through the spell created on their image.
In India black magic is called abhichara and its as dangerous and lethal as african wodoo witchcraft.
