Ever had an encounter with ghosts?..........
Do not wish to have one. The residents near Menengai Crater claim the place is full of them. Menengai Crater is a massive shield volcano inside one of the biggest calderas in the world, located in the Great Rift Valley, Kenya. It is located 10 km (6 mi) northeast of Nakuru, the third-biggest city in Kenya.Curious tourists have been drawn to a controversial cave by stories of strange happenings that have convinced many that this is a haunted place.
Local people say that the area is haunted by evil spirits that make people disappear without a trace and others lose direction for hours, even days only to be found confused and wandering around. A settler says that he used to see ghosts plough the land with tractors, plant wheat and harvest all within an hour. Then a A five acre bhang (marijuana) plantation was found at the crater, and some say people who saw it were killed to protect the illegal crop A. woman dies in attempt to save son from crater..........ILLUSIONS? I guess. Thats not all some claim to have seen the devil riding a motorcycle up a hill named "Devil's Hill" near the crater, I guess Mark Steven Johnson was motivated by this story and wrote a book titled "The Ghost Rider".
Yet pilgrims from as far as Kakamega and Mombasa come to pray and fast at the Crater for they say that when they are here they feel very close to God. Despite the tension, tourists find their way there. The site offers great hiking oppotunity , scenic sites, geysers, mud pots and hot springs. There are also striking views of Lake Nakuru, Lake Bogoria as well as the crater itself.
Do you believe in ghosts? What do you think all these people who claim they saw ghostly activities really saw? Whatever your stand, it can be agreed that the crater is great place to visit. From the beautiful scenery, exciting activities and chilling stories, no one can be bored here!
