WATCH OUT: Popo Bawa is Back.

Posted Mar 05, 2007 1 comment

The infamous rape-demon of Zanzibar has returned.  Popo Bawa, a winged bat who has been terrorizing the island since the 1960s, has showed up in BBC News—of all places—because his relentless man-rape campaign has begun again.  This might come as a shock, but the image to the left is actually an illustration, not a photo of the legendary beast himself.

Men in parts of Tanzania’s main city, Dar es Salaam, are living in fear of a night-time sex attacker.

A BBC correspondent says the attacks are being blamed by some on a demon called “Popo Bawa” meaning winged bat.

Some men are staying awake or sleeping in groups outside their homes. Others are smearing themselves with pig’s oil, believing this repels attacks.

Reports of the demon’s existence have been common for many years in Zanzibar, where locals claim it originated.

Popo Bawa is one of many indiginous demons from Mother Africa, but he’s apparently a much more recent phenomena—one legend claims Popo Bawa is a Djinn that a local black magician lost control over, but like most legends, that’s probably Grade A Bullshit.  What’s interesting, though, is that I’m apparently taking a risk by saying that—Popo Bawa attacks always break out when his existence is publicly denied.  He just likes to remind people he’s there.  And by “there,” we mean “up someone’s ass.”

“Popo Bawa is strong: He really presses down on you. And it took such a long time: One hour! Eventually I lost consciousness...”

Most alleged “skeptics” (look up the actual meaning of that word sometime) will latch onto that as proof that Popo Bawa, just like Alien Abductions, is merely ”sleep paralyisis”—the current Go-To Explanation for people too cowardly to live in reality, which is infested by hostile demons and super-human intelligent entites that love to fuck with us and steal children.  Of course, I’m just kidding.  Right?
