An early morning walk to his farm has left footprints which burnt portions of grass on his village lawn.
Villager Sikeli
Nadiri, who lives in
Daroko settlement,
outside Savusavu, is
baffled as he tries
to figure out the
cause of his
mysterious brown
prints.
The
incident has
attracted fellow
villagers to his
house to have a feel
of his feet trying
to find a clue to
the mystery.
Mr Nadiri said it
happened the
previous week on
Wednesday when he
went to his farm to
tend to his cows.
The ground he
walked on were seen
scorched the next
morning leaving
footprints leading
from his house to
the farm.
He
said on Thursday,
villagers were
talking about the
strange footprints
which had turned
brown.
He
was told of news
when villagers
noticed that the
scorched portions of
grass had started
from his house.
Mr Nadiri said he
followed the
footprints and told
the villagers that
it was his
footprints but he
had no idea how the
withered portion
came about.
Last week, police
visited him on
Tuesday and the
ground he walked on
during the interview
was also affected.
The next day,
Mr Nadiri said he
followed the
footsteps he took
during the interview
and noticed the same
kind of footprints.
The grass had
withered and turned
brown in colour.
Mr Nadiri said
he had two sets of
footprints in two
separate weeks.
He said he didn't
step on any chemical
before walking to
his farm to check on
the cows.
Mr
Nadiri said if he
had stepped on
chemicals, his feet
would have been
affected.
He
said there were no
traditional links or
history related to
his mysterious
footsteps.
Strange it may seem,
the incident has not
stirred any fear or
trouble in the
village as the
villagers continue
to live their lives
as usual.
