Hello beautiful friends in Throw Back Thursday community. I know that this is coming late for today because since yesterday I have been trying to make this post but having issues with network. I love doing my post very early on Thursday. But all the same I still made it for today.

This is me sharing the experience that I heard with masquerades in the Village where I went to for a burial ceremony.

I traveled home since last week Friday and up till now I am still in the Village. One of the major problem there is bad network and that is even the reason why I am making this post very late at this moment.

I last saw masquerades ten years or more back and back then I use to be afraid of the masquerade because we were told when we were kids that masquerade is a spirit. So we thought that is the spirit of the dead that comes around to frighten people once in a while. But when I grew up I discovered that we were told lies by our parents just to keep us away from the masquerade because some of those masquerade are very dangerous. They go into diabetic means just to prepare themselves for the day of masquerade display in the village square.

Today I saw the masquerade displaying while we were at the burial. It was a good site to behold because I love their dance and everything about them. I also saw children running away from the masquerade crying and I quickly remembered my childhood days when I use to run away from the masquerade like this kids today.

Please do enjoy the video. Drop your comment and share with friends
