  • The people of rural Kenya have spoken of the night runners for generations. They’re said to be villagers possessed by a demonic spirit which compels them to scare and terrorise their neighbours at night.
    But no one really knows who the night runners are or what motivates them. For BBC Africa Eye, reporter Tom Odula investigates the enigma of the night runners, shining fresh light on the reality behind the myths, and revealing exclusive footage of night runners in action. Please be aware that there are disturbing images in this piece.

Apparently we have the same culture but the Alur’s night running is quite more advanced and it involves flying up in the sky with fire balls on their Arses , so im suggesting you should try also and take a survey with such luo clans like Okebu, okuru, and Those from congo border (Lendu)... You will be shocked !!!

      Actually demons are involved. It is a spell placed on them through heredity or being married into it. The woman possesses the evil eye And practices witchcraft. They can't be called out on it because it is believed that anyone who calls it out will be affected negatively. Basically a mischievous, trickster demon.

My girl really urinated on her clothes, she was shaking, she became dumb and deaf, and started talking a day after. These people have demonic powers.
    THere was not even space btw us but he managed to pass btw us, as from that day my girl never wanted me to bring her home at night.

    ~You will spot them (with their burning pots) running across the other ridge and no fence or any obstacle can block them
    ~They ride dogs, cats and other animals
    ~You have to eat cold food and wear clothes inside out if you want to catch them
    ~Their wives perform rituals which involves cooking stones so their husbands can't be caught out there
    ~Aside from selling fear, they do their things so nobody in the society get wealthier
