The Night the Island Stopped Sleeping: Popobawa Unleashed

Late one night on Pemba Island a terrifying encounter sparks island-wide panic as residents report a winged, sulfur‑scented creature called the Popobawa attacking homes and leaving claw marks and torn roofs.

Families sleep in the streets, witnesses describe paralysis and shared visions, and authorities struggle to explain whether the outbreak is mass hysteria, folklore come to life, or something far older.
