There are stories that pop up each day about how actors are attacked spiritually because of the roles they play in movies.
It has been purported that roles such as river goddesses, fetish priests, river maidens, and others haunt those who portray them after shooting a movie.
Ghanaian actress Clara Amoateng Benson, popularly known as Maame Serwaa, who is known for playing such roles, has shared her experience with such incidents.
In a recent interview with Koo Sebor on Angel FM, Maame Serwaa recounted that she was part of a movie production that took them to Kumasi-Feyiase, off the Lake Bosomtwe road in the Ashanti Region of Ghana, where they encountered a river god.
According to her, they traveled on a Tuesday for a successful shoot, which included Ghanaian comic actor Sunsum.
On their way to a forest in one of the towns, they met a tall, fair man sitting with his head bowed. They greeted him and passed by, but Sunsum stopped and spoke to him for a while.
She added that they completed their shoot, and on their way out, some town folks informed them that Tuesday was a forbidden day for anyone to enter the forest.
“We were then taken to the palace to see the town elders, who advised us to always seek permission from the elders of every town before doing anything on our own. They then revealed to us that the man we saw in the forest wasn’t human but the town’s river god. If someone had told me this, I wouldn’t have believed it, but I saw it with my own eyes. There’s a lot that happens when we shoot,” Maame Serwaa shockingly disclosed.
