Weird story: White woman dies mysteriously after summoning an African spirit using voodoo despite warnings not to do so

A White woman has died mysteriously after she ignored warnings from social media users when she revealed her plans to dabble into voodoo and summon an African spirit known as Papa Legba.

Katelyn “Kat” Restin, a 19-year-old Virginia woman, was found dead after she allegedly drowned in a bathtub according to one of her friends. People are blaming her death on her practicing Haitian Vodou summoning spells.

Restin died two days after she claimed that she saw Papa Legba apparently after a summoning spell people warned her not to try.

Papa Legba is one of the best known figures in African spirituality. He serves as an intermediary between man and the spirit world. Several movies have been made about him, including the American horror story "Coven".

Kat Restin was part of a group on social media that practiced spells, and one day she decided to go into voodoo.

Twitter and Facebook users warned her not to try it but she insisted and said everyone should be allowed to practice whatever spirituality they want to practice.

She added: "Shut the f*** up and let me be."

Some of her friends also defended her decision.

Three weeks after the post, and other posts showing her practicing voodoo, she made a post stating she saw Papa Legba. She added that she was "scared".

Unfortunately, Kat Restin died two days later.

Someone in her group, who claims to commune with the spirits, stated that they did a reading on the late Kat Restin and it wasn’t Papa Legba she saw but another dreaded spirit, Baron Samedi.

Friends have taken to Twitter and Facebook to mourn Restin's death. However, some said she doesn't deserve their pity.

Restin's obituary states that her cause of death was sudden.

The obituary reads: "Katelyn is survived by her daughter Aaliyah Hope Restin, mother Terry Restin, father John Restin, brothers Kevin and Ryan (Blakely) Restin; aunts, Margaret Volk, Mary (Rick) Page, Betty (Joe) Aukward; Uncle, Eric (Susan) Restin, and many cousins and other relatives, all of who she loved and touched deeply."

The family has set up a GoFundMe for Katelyn’s death.

Operators seek tax holiday, subsidy to save airlines Worried by the fate that awaits local carriers, operators yesterday, appealed to the Federal Government to introduce some economic recovery measures to safeguard airlines from collapse. The operators, currently burdened by recurrent costs, are seeking aviation intervention fund at an interest rate of not more than five per cent. They suggested that government could take a cue from the American model of offering 50 per cent funding and grants, and 50 per cent palliatives through waivers and suspension of taxes, levies and fees among others. Besides, they called for the implementation of President Muhammadu Buhari’s Executive Order on Removal of Value Added Tax (VAT) from all forms of transportation; as domestic airlines are still the only forms of transportation paying VAT. The current restriction of both local and foreign commercial flight services has forced domestic carriers into fin...
