Kitheuni Village Stunned as Man Digs Own Grave, Invites Neighbors to Burial
A Kitheuni man shocks his village by digging his grave and planning his burial for New Year’s Day, 2025. Authorities and counselors address this unsettling act.
In a shocking incident, a 24-year-old man from Kitheuni Sub-Location, Ikombe Location, has alarmed residents by digging his own grave and inviting them to attend his burial on New Year’s Day, 2025.
The man, whose identity remains undisclosed, left the village in disbelief after personally delivering invitations to neighbors, declaring his intention to “rest forever” on New Year’s Eve. Witnesses reported that he had even prepared a wooden cross bearing his name and adorned the grave with flowers.
The peculiar incident was reported to the local authorities by the village elder, prompting swift intervention by the area sub-chief. Villagers gathered near the site, speculating on the man’s motives. While some suspected a spiritual influence, others feared it was a sign of deep personal distress.
One neighbor shared their unease: “At first, we thought it was a prank. But when we saw the grave, it sent chills down our spines. He seems serious about this.”
Authorities, concerned about the man’s intentions, have engaged counselors to assess his mental health. Preliminary evaluations revealed he is lucid and does not exhibit signs of mental illness.
“This is unprecedented,” said the sub-chief. “The man claims he knows exactly what he’s doing. However, we’re closely monitoring the situation to ensure everyone’s safety.”
As the village prepares to welcome 2025, many residents remain uneasy about the incident.
“This is not how we celebrate the New Year,” said one elder. “While others are praying for blessings, this feels like a dark omen.”
Mental health experts urge the community to take the incident seriously. “This could be a cry for help,” said a counselor. “Such behavior often signals underlying distress and requires immediate intervention.”
As the days count down to New Year’s Eve, Kitheuni remains a village in suspense, grappling with how to support a man who may be silently pleading for help.
