I have relatives on my mom's side that live in a rural part of a developing country. They believe in a bunch of superstition like witch doctors. They actually sought one for advice during the covid pandemic. Guess a few of them got pretty sick during that time. The Witch doctor claimed a lady working at a small candy shop was cursing them (i know the lady too she lived less than 100 meters away from my grand parents house; she moved after this incident). So out of paranoia my granduncle nearly killed her with a gun. Fortunately he missed all his shots. He's in jail now lol.

Anyways this story was shocking to me. Didnt realize my family members are pretty crazy on both my mom and dad's side. My dad side actually did have a murderer but he died from a heart attack recently. I thought they were nice people when I was a kid

*edit i got some details wrong/misremembered earlier. My granduncle actually committed suicide by accident. He didn't miss his shots. The gun he was using jammed. when the cops went to apprehend him he tried to lie about knowingly using a broken gun. To prove this he pointed the barrel at his head and fired. Except it actually fired that time.. Kind of crazy imo. I know this prob sounds unbelievable tho

This guy was my grandfather's brother.
