🧨 Zimbabwean Nurse ATTACKED by “Lemma Lemma” in Her Sleep?! Natalie Sibanda’s SHOCKING Supernatural Encounter in Mhondoro 🇿🇼😱
In a harrowing sit-down interview that has left audiences both captivated and horrified, Natalie Sibanda, a nurse originally from Zimbabwe and now based in the United Kingdom, opened up about the night she was allegedly attacked by a lemma lemma, a mysterious and sinister entity deeply feared in rural Zimbabwean communities.

The incident, which she claims happened in December of last year, took place in her grandmother’s rural home in Mhondoro, a quiet village known for both its tranquility—and its whispered tales of dark forces.
Natalie recalls the night with frightening clarity.
“It was supposed to be a peaceful family holiday.
I hadn’t been back home in years,” she began.
“I slept in my gogo’s bedroom because she insisted—it’s the warmest room in the house.
Around 2 or 3 a.m., I woke up feeling completely paralyzed.
I couldn’t move, couldn’t scream.
And then I felt it—something heavy sitting on my chest.
She describes the sensation as crushing, as though a body—not human, not animal, but something in between—was physically pinning her down.
“It wasn’t a dream.
I was awake.
I felt its weight, its breath.
I could smell something… rotting, like burnt hair mixed with blood,” she said, visibly shaken.
“It whispered in a voice I can’t even describe.
Something ancient.
In Zimbabwean spiritual culture, the lemma lemma is often spoken of in hushed tones.
Said to be a demonic entity or cursed spirit sent by jealous relatives, witches, or spiritual enemies, it allegedly visits victims at night, paralyzes them, and feeds off their life force or spiritual energy.

In some traditions, it is described as an incubus-like creature that violates victims in their sleep.
In others, it’s a malevolent ancestral force used for revenge.
Natalie believes someone in her extended family sent the lemma lemma to attack her, possibly out of jealousy over her success abroad.
“My family has always had hidden tensions,” she said.
“People don’t like it when you leave, succeed, and come back.
They pretend to be happy for you, but spiritually, they’re throwing knives.
” She explained that after the incident, she confided in a local prophet who told her she had been “targeted for spiritual elimination.
”
For days after the attack, Natalie says she suffered intense nightmares, chest pain, insomnia, and unexplained bruises.
“I went to the clinic in Harare and they found nothing wrong.
Nothing.
But I knew what happened.
And it wasn’t just in my head.
” She returned to the UK shaken and spiritually broken, where she reportedly began undergoing deliverance prayers at her local Pentecostal church.
Online, her story has gone viral, with thousands of comments ranging from full support to skeptical disbelief.
Some netizens from Zimbabwe and other parts of Africa shared similar stories of being “sat on,” “choked by invisible forces,” or “hearing whispers in their sleep.
” A few even claimed to recognize the symptoms of “musuo,” another term for spiritual attacks linked to jealousy or witchcraft.
Medical professionals, however, have weighed in with a more scientific explanation: sleep paralysis—a common phenomenon where the body is temporarily frozen between sleep and wakefulness, often accompanied by hallucinations.
But Natalie is having none of it.
“This was not science.
This was spiritual warfare.
Something real touched me.
Science can’t explain the burns on my chest.
”
She also pointed out that the moment she left the house and began praying daily, the attacks stopped.
“It was tied to that room, that house.
Maybe even a specific person,” she said ominously.
Natalie has since cut ties with several family members she believes are linked to traditional dark practices.
“I’m not afraid anymore.
I’ve seen what jealousy can do.
And now I pray harder than ever.
”
Her story has reignited debate in Zimbabwe and across the African diaspora about the intersections of traditional belief, spirituality, and modern science.
Some see her experience as a stark warning about returning to ancestral homes without spiritual protection.
Others say she’s feeding into fear-mongering and superstition.
Yet despite the criticism, Natalie is standing firm in her testimony.
She’s now working on a memoir titled “Sat by the Lemma Lemma”, detailing her experiences with spiritual attack and her healing journey.
“People need to know this is real,” she says.
“We laugh about it, we deny it, but too many are suffering in silence.
”
As for the house in Mhondoro, Natalie has vowed never to sleep there again.
“That place holds something dark.
I love my family, but I’ve learned that not everyone who hugs you wishes you well.
Some are hugging you while sending demons to your dreams.
”
Whether you believe in the paranormal or not, one thing is certain: Natalie Sibanda’s story has struck a nerve, tapping into deeply rooted fears and beliefs that linger just beneath the surface of modern African identity.
Was it a spiritual attack—or something else entirely? Either way, it’s a night she’ll never forget… and one that has the whole country talking.
