Cause you're sick in the head. Would of never thought that. I thought it was about poaching animals at night or pochers getting shot at night for poching!
@@JesusGodHolySpirit3 and you are stupid in the head for spelling poaching wrong. And if you look at the thumbnail of a woman, poaching isn't what comes to mind. So speak for yourself and learn how to spell.
When we were kids, these were the people who made me have nightmares. We always knew some people who were said to have the habit. I don't know how many nights I shook in my bed. We had a lot of forests then. These days in my village nobody even talks about them anymore. It seems the generation went. And one of the tools that led to the collapse of the whole thing; was a torch.
😂 I am sorry you went through this. People who are commenting that this is not a big deal just because they are getting a view from the night runner’s perspective have never been on the side of the terrorized families. Growing up as a kid, terrorized of the dark/night because of some fools sadistic need to feel powerful is sickening.
Actually demons are involved. It is a spell placed on them through heredity or being married into it. The woman possesses the evil eye And practices witchcraft. They can't be called out on it because it is believed that anyone who calls it out will be affected negatively. Basically a mischievous, trickster demon.
This is a head-scratcher. I really appreciate the reporter sharing insights from other cultures. I can't imagine being the person that is getting harassed each night. Good Documentary

Great piece of investigative journalism,great eye opening insights on what goes on inside a night runner's mind.i have been a victim back at my rural home and this, has given me closure.
BBC Africa does not portray Africa in a negative but brings out what really needs to be known to the world, you can't always portray Africa positively becuase we all know there are many things wrong, which the world an mostly other AFRICANS need to know/learn about. I personally think BBC Africa is doing the job not many other news companies are willing to do, actually showing what is going in Africa.
@Star...same thought, same thought. I commend these but they can put out positivity in equal measure. I guess that's what President Kagame is trying to put across that "BBC should respect Africa." Nonetheless, creating awareness about certain issues is the rationale here, right?
This is a historic documentary! I got educated about this mysterious practice that I have always heard about, but never experienced proof of. I think this is a form of dark entertainment, and those who practice it derive some form of mental and physical thrills, which gradually become an addiction. I was pleased to see the young female addict seek treatment from a traditional healer, at a fee. There is a cheaper psychological treatment to such problems - modern religion.
Seeing this video answered a lot of questions. Right now, we have a prowler who does exactly this. I've reported it to the police several times but of course they never take things seriously. It's annoying and sadistic. In my opinion, I believe it's a conscious decision you make.
I’ve experienced night runners when I went to the village. Someone threw sand or water on the roof and a few rocks. I was scared to the core. I already had knowledge it existed from my childhood but experiencing it is a different story. It is quite possible that the night runners in this film were already known and agreed to be filmed with their identity hidden/ with clothes. That being said we can’t discredit the whole thing because they were clothed. The ones in kisii might be different than those in western or in Luoland.
@@daisyhearts9896 also the one's in luhya land come naked too....... And believe you me no night runner will appear on camera their spirits will warn them even before the camera is placed there
rozy namasaya when you say “believe me” it implies more knowledge than what’s currently given. Do you have relatives who are night runners? Were you one before? With what merit do we use to “believe you”?
amy benje let me know how it goes. Being woken unceremoniously from your sleep by loud noises can be quite disturbing. It might take a minute from you to distinguish- I’m being robbed to “I’m being bullied by night-runners”
Wooow, interesting. I remember a practice similar to this one growing up. The difference is those one walked and didn't run. They carried something that looked like a touch, people would be really scared. My ancestors are from Kenya.
The impact of Cameroon arts in east Africa and Kenya especially is fascinating. Jacque Songo (former Gail keeper), San Fan Thomas (Musician). Want to visit Kenya someday.
You are very right there I remember someone did this yes he was a stalker. The person in the house knew the law take it this way the person got done for many things that night due to the person of the house hold put them in the best positions . This footage looks like the person knows what they are doing and they may find themselves in shit in the end.

I remember one experience when I was in Maseno University. Goodness gracious me! I had never been to Western side of Kenya so that was my first time living there. So one day I am sleeping with my window open because the temperatures at night were too high. Then I wake up from what I thought was a bad dream and there's someone poking my bed with a stick and a bright flashlight to my face. I screamed and the person kept poking me and I immediately left the bed to make sure the door was well closed. The most shocking thing to me was that even as I kept screaming, this person just kept poking at me. I have never felt that insecure and vulnerable. Meeen! That was a horrible experience for me. The person then left cz my screams were too high. He/she left the stick there as evidence. It was at around 3 AM
@@NaimahLaNae so you were busy sleeping then from nowhere there's this guy with a flashlight and trying to be spooky. The first thing you think of is to first make sure your door is locked. Then call for help. I'm not gonna try and start fighting someone and I do not know what other thing they have in their hand. Could be they had a panga or something worse.
Why would people tolerate this kind of behavior in their midst? Thank God for hidden cameras and the internet soon the nite runners will have nowhere to hide.
@@enyaoso nightrunners never reveal their identity. It's an evil spirit that cannot be controlled.Even those in the village cannot catch a night runner, so when BBC parades individuals and you hear sounds from outside, just know this is fake.
It is true, I used to tell my teachers I could not do my homework because of this runners in the dark... they didn't believe me...now let BBC tell them even though too late 😂😂😂🤣🤣!!!
It's sad that things are already bad over there and this man and his wife have a lot of time on their hands to make things worse by disturbing people as they try to sleep
it is fucking easy to prevent them just get a big dog with a chain that can go around your shack, they hear them instantly and if they start barking come out and let it off the chain and go back to bed.
If they come to my house to scare me what I will do is I will replace every door and window with 1000volts of electricity so when they touched it’s game over...😂😂😂😂😂
While night-running has existed in Western Kenya, this documentary is stage-managed. That lady was probably running for her first time. Secondly, most night runners run naked, sometimes only covered with dry banana leaves. How do you run in white clothes at night?. Omera, why do you sell fake stories to the world? If you are genuine, why didn't you show us the lady's injuries upclose? From experience and observation, this is stage-managed!
The day a night runner meets their Waterloo...I guarantee you they will stop immediately...if you have work to go to in the morning, you would not be running at night..
People laugh at demon possessed people all the time. Whether it be drunkards, drug addicts, overly angry people, overly gluttonous people. Just different kinds of spirits unfortunately
A very good documentary. More documentaries need to be produced pertaining this matter.. I like the finishing statement that it is a thrill seeking behaviour. And do you know that thrill seeking/ adrenaline junky can be addictive, also a family tradition (not community), and a psychological disorder
If caught they pay a huge penalty. A night runner used to throw stone at our home in then village then in the morning he would pass by and greet us like nothing happened.

@Drukstylz 😂😂😂😹😹😹😹😹👌
🤣🤣🤣 she said if i dont run, i feel sick. And then i have to run. Is is just me or are this people not just basic adrenaline junkies? 🤣🤣 can someone introduce then to roll coasters 🤣🤣
So no one has volunteered to offer these night runners urgent psychiatric help?
Amina Ali exactly but they busy portraying the continent very badly
m8 they are just trolls
😂😂😂😂😂
It's not mental health issues boo. It's considered to be witchcraft related
@@MeeMee-pc6bv To be honest, people still hunt albinos for body parts used in witchcraft and mystical snake-oil type remedies. Knowing that, I have my doubts those kinds of people even take dementia seriously.
Thank you for your report and education on night running. May they all be delivered.
i think im a night runner too, because everytime i see a house with a doorbell i click it and run away and it makes me happy lol
Lmao me too, I do that everyday
😂😂😂😂😂 Lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 slowly but surely you'll get there
Do you do that in morning hours or night time? I wanna know.
Great piece of investigative journalism,great eye opening insights on what goes on inside a night runner's mind.i have been a victim back at my rural home and this, has given me closure.
Ok
Government : curfew starts at 7pm
Night runners:👀👀👀👀
😂😂
This night running sounds like they are possessed by low ranking demons 😭😂
With low frequency spirits
my guy called them "low ranking" 😂😂😂😂
Small scale demons😂😂😂😂
The report is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
😂😂😂 true😂😂
The interviewer has been initiated into night running by eating food from the night runners. BBC has one night runner now lol😁😄
Sick bastards
Lol
😂😂😂😂 I thought so too
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂
Tom Odula well done. Just finished watching all of it. Next time come to my village and do a story on the MIGHTY LEGEND GOR MAHIA.
BBC Africa does not portray Africa in a negative but brings out what really needs to be known to the world, you can't always portray Africa positively becuase we all know there are many things wrong, which the world an mostly other AFRICANS need to know/learn about. I personally think BBC Africa is doing the job not many other news companies are willing to do, actually showing what is going in Africa.
@Star...same thought, same thought. I commend these but they can put out positivity in equal measure. I guess that's what President Kagame is trying to put across that "BBC should respect Africa."
Nonetheless, creating awareness about certain issues is the rationale here, right?

This is a historic documentary! I got educated about this mysterious practice that I have always heard about, but never experienced proof of. I think this is a form of dark entertainment, and those who practice it derive some form of mental and physical thrills, which gradually become an addiction. I was pleased to see the young female addict seek treatment from a traditional healer, at a fee. There is a cheaper psychological treatment to such problems - modern religion.
Seeing this video answered a lot of questions. Right now, we have a prowler who does exactly this. I've reported it to the police several times but of course they never take things seriously. It's annoying and sadistic. In my opinion, I believe it's a conscious decision you make.
From accounts from people, I've heard sometimes modern religion works, sometimes it doesn't. It all depends on the person.
Instead running at night, they should go night vigil in the church
@@ispent35minutestryingtocha80 modern religion is a hoax, it exists for profit alone especially Christianity, dont fall for it
Those are demons you didn't hear it??
I’ve experienced night runners when I went to the village. Someone threw sand or water on the roof and a few rocks. I was scared to the core. I already had knowledge it existed from my childhood but experiencing it is a different story.
It is quite possible that the night runners in this film were already known and agreed to be filmed with their identity hidden/ with clothes.
That being said we can’t discredit the whole thing because they were clothed. The ones in kisii might be different than those in western or in Luoland.
I agree with you, after watching this documentary all my fears are gone completely.
They are not different..from luo land come naked too ..this idiotic journalist is faking
@@daisyhearts9896 also the one's in luhya land come naked too....... And believe you me no night runner will appear on camera their spirits will warn them even before the camera is placed there
rozy namasaya when you say “believe me” it implies more knowledge than what’s currently given. Do you have relatives who are night runners? Were you one before? With what merit do we use to “believe you”?
amy benje let me know how it goes. Being woken unceremoniously from your sleep by loud noises can be quite disturbing. It might take a minute from you to distinguish- I’m being robbed to “I’m being bullied by night-runners”
Who is watching their kids while they're out being a menace to society?
Wooow, interesting. I remember a practice similar to this one growing up. The difference is those one walked and didn't run. They carried something that looked like a touch, people would be really scared.
My ancestors are from Kenya.
I Just need a fraction of their motivation to do my morning jogging workout.
True.. i need them too
Your wit is legendary 👌
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
oh my days😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
😂😂😂
This should be on the COMEDY segment.
I have laughed in most of the scenes.
You also laughed at the guy who had burns from hot water & was urging that couple to rethink their decisions
@@Onderiz nop. From my post I said most. So not all. Please understand.
@@joshuamwangi1615 don't worry about, some people always looking for witch hunting...

Joshgmwa hilarious😂😂😂
These people have talent in their feet and the Govt needs to Tap into their running for marathons on an international scale. They are just bored
Elektriqa This!!!...ole boy said its his "job" but is he getting paid??😂😂
They are Kenyans... They not even the best 😂😂😂
The impact of Cameroon arts in east Africa and Kenya especially is fascinating. Jacque Songo (former Gail keeper), San Fan Thomas (Musician). Want to visit Kenya someday.
That's just a a coincidence 😂
Seems like they are playing a game a very dangerous game at that. They will run and knock or throw stones at the wrong person house one night.
You are very right there I remember someone did this yes he was a stalker. The person in the house knew the law take it this way the person got done for many things that night due to the person of the house hold put them in the best positions . This footage looks like the person knows what they are doing and they may find themselves in shit in the end.
I know my stupid ex brother and law did. It would have been all good and he would have gotten away with it but the moron ran straight to our 🏠 and the VERY PISSED 😡 OFF MAN came knocking to whoop his silly ass...😂😂😂
Some led in that ass will end all night running 🤔!!!
That Village Needs A Night Club..😅😅😅
Night running is real. But this one? No! Stage-managed!
Completely stage managed!
I totally agree
Completely
Completely Kwanza huyu mwanaume night runner
what do u mean by 'night running is real'? i never heard about it....
Keep being a Night runner until one day you'd really have to run for your life at NIGHT.
How could this beautiful woman marry such a lazy man calling himself a night runner
One of the benefits of living in the villages. Lots of incompatible couples.
😂😂😂😂
"The cold food makes you invisible" 😂😂😂
That was too lame 😂😂😂
😂
pfff ha ha he was smileing too he knew good and well he sound crazy
istg this thing made me laugh my ass out😂😂😂
😂🤦🏾♀️
How am I just stumbling upon this comment section now 😂. The reporter though, can his wife tell us if he's single 😁
This phenomenon is also common in some parts of Uganda, It's not new to us who grew up in Uganda
The funniest documentary I have watched on TH-cam. Cant stop laughing
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I died laughing loool 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Me too 😂😂😂😂
They all being so serious about it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yafesi Amwayi Biggy this nigga said he “operating wild animals” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is so sad, i pity the families that are being traumatized and scared by these people.
I actually believe this night runner story can be made into a very beautiful horror movie. Wow
True🤣
Actually I thought the same
😂😂😂😂
There is one called “the Purge” check it out.
There’s nothing beautiful about horror movies.
I thought I was childish but this one is too much 🤣🤣🤣
Cold food, makes you invincible 😅😅😆-how did the camera see her running??
Ha haaaa haaaa
same thing I'm wondering
@@billionaireconcepts1095 these guys have srs mental health problems which demands urgent attention as they will spread their stupidity all around the country......esp the guys claiming to ride a Hyena- those ones are at an advanced level😆😆😆😆
Exactly these people only focus on the negative side of Africa
The running President need a psychiatrist-
I remember one experience when I was in Maseno University. Goodness gracious me! I had never been to Western side of Kenya so that was my first time living there. So one day I am sleeping with my window open because the temperatures at night were too high. Then I wake up from what I thought was a bad dream and there's someone poking my bed with a stick and a bright flashlight to my face. I screamed and the person kept poking me and I immediately left the bed to make sure the door was well closed. The most shocking thing to me was that even as I kept screaming, this person just kept poking at me. I have never felt that insecure and vulnerable. Meeen! That was a horrible experience for me. The person then left cz my screams were too high. He/she left the stick there as evidence. It was at around 3 AM
Did you fight them? Did you even try? All they had was a stick and a flashlight.
@@NaimahLaNae so you were busy sleeping then from nowhere there's this guy with a flashlight and trying to be spooky. The first thing you think of is to first make sure your door is locked. Then call for help. I'm not gonna try and start fighting someone and I do not know what other thing they have in their hand. Could be they had a panga or something worse.
Woi..sikuwahi sikia hizi Maseno dear
@@faychela4573 oh! Count yourself lucky. I have some horrid memories from there. But all the same, they made life beautiful, in their own way.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 oh boy i haven't laughed this hard in a while hey!😂
The performance the “president of night running” gave was the more bizarre thing I’ve ever seen 😂😂😂😂
The reporter felt sleepy
Excellent work team, proud to be African.
Why would people tolerate this kind of behavior in their midst? Thank God for hidden cameras and the internet soon the nite runners will have nowhere to hide.
am so LOL your comment has killed me
This is clearly staged.. they'll do anything to show Africa in bad light. Yet you'll find many of them moving and living there. Stay woke ppl!
Wewe Catherine Nyoro huoni file hao wachawi wanafanya hivi halafu wewe nasema hivi na hii ni stage managed bwana hata vile huyo jamaa napiga tizi.
@@enyaoso nightrunners never reveal their identity. It's an evil spirit that cannot be controlled.Even those in the village cannot catch a night runner, so when BBC parades individuals and you hear sounds from outside, just know this is fake.
Umeamini hii ujinga ya bbc??
Comments section is lit than the documentary 😂😂😂👋👋you Kenyans can be something else 😂😂😂😂😂
true, I paused the video to go through the comments😂😂😂
I'm still reading watching at the same time😂 😂 😂

Diamond in the rough/ I am the Law very very true
It's sad that things are already bad over there and this man and his wife have a lot of time on their hands to make things worse by disturbing people as they try to sleep
Hahaha.. it's a pity, they choose not to enjoy sleep
@@susana90672 you are absolutely right LOL
I think its a fetish. They seem to get a kick out of it.
it is fucking easy to prevent them just get a big dog with a chain that can go around your shack, they hear them instantly and if they start barking come out and let it off the chain and go back to bed.
Best
If they come to my house to scare me what I will do is I will replace every door and window with 1000volts of electricity so when they touched it’s game over...😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 you will kill the whole village
🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂oooh my God
😂😂🤣🤣🤣
They probably want to borrow some sugar
God save this couple from this yoke. Imagine forfeiting the comfort of home and bed for a cold night, and for what, nothing

While night-running has existed in Western Kenya, this documentary is stage-managed. That lady was probably running for her first time. Secondly, most night runners run naked, sometimes only covered with dry banana leaves. How do you run in white clothes at night?. Omera, why do you sell fake stories to the world? If you are genuine, why didn't you show us the lady's injuries upclose? From experience and observation, this is stage-managed!
Hahahahahahaha... Omera!
Hahaha
Haha
Kwani hawa wachawi waliadvance wanavaa manguo....aol
The day a night runner meets their Waterloo...I guarantee you they will stop immediately...if you have work to go to in the morning, you would not be running at night..
People laugh at demon possessed people all the time. Whether it be drunkards, drug addicts, overly angry people, overly gluttonous people. Just different kinds of spirits unfortunately
So y’all wake up hella late and play ding dong ditch 😂😂😭😭
🤣🤣🤣
Lmao 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
This is both tragic & funny😈😂😂

This women be so loyal ...and supporting the hommies 100%.....wapi like ya jokanyanam
How I'm I even watching this rhy now ..quarantine made me come here
A very good documentary.
More documentaries need to be produced pertaining this matter.. I like the finishing statement that it is a thrill seeking behaviour. And do you know that thrill seeking/ adrenaline junky can be addictive, also a family tradition (not community), and a psychological disorder
The night runners dancing around the fire. 🤣 The reporter looked like, wtf?! 😂
those just wanted attention.they are not night runners
This doctor is the best I ever met in homa-bay... God bless you doc
Africa eye, I am always getting enthralled and overwhelmed by your well packaged reports.
I even cast down wishing I was part of the team
I appreciate the dignity these reporters have given to this African story.
Suggestion: Why don't night runners night run each others' houses?
Good idea. Stop disturbing people who don't care for it
i have lived in place back in the village where witchcraft and night running was rampant. some people were caught and they still deny....
The night runners look more afraid than what they're trying to scare
Lol jokes on them night runners..
If caught they pay a huge penalty. A night runner used to throw stone at our home in then village then in the morning he would pass by and greet us like nothing happened.
@@ocholajennie1249 😄😄😄

The video is intense, but the comments are leveling the playing field 😂😂
Very good piece. I question how mental health interventions may assist.
I hear in Kamba land there's a way of making them forget they are supposed to go back home, so they run till morning wanapatwa hapo
