Jocelyn’s Phantom Husband is inspired by a true life story originating from Southern Africa. The story is about a young woman who was abandoned by her mum at the age of three and the family who looked after her abused Jocelyn by betraying her into a black magic ritual.

Jocelyn was given away in marriage to a dead man’s spirit called Joshua by Luke her distant relative she was staying with. Luke owned and operated a butchery which employed a number of the men who lived in the village.

When Luke’s business began to falter, out of desperation he consulted a witch doctor for a solution. Luke was told that in order to turn his business around, he must murder a man and bring his mutilated parts to him. The witch doctor would then create a black magic spell from the man’s parts which would bring success to his business and provide a lucrative income for Luke.

Although at first repulsed by the prospect, Luke eventually caved to the pressure of his mounting responsibilities and his steadily declining income
