Residents of Foase in the Atwima Kwanwoma District of the Ashanti Region have been left stunned after a hunter reportedly discovered a 28-year-old drug store operator inside a coffin at a local cemetery.
The man, identified only as Foster, was found on Thursday, November 5, 2026, inside a coffin placed in an open section of the cemetery.
According to accounts from residents, the hunter was passing through the cemetery when he spotted the coffin and became suspicious.
His dogs reportedly approached the coffin, prompting him to point his gun at it and threaten to shoot whoever was inside. The threat allegedly forced Foster to emerge.
A resident who narrated the incident said: “After seeing the coffin, his dogs ran to the coffin, so the hunter pointed his gun at the coffin and threatened to shoot whoever is in it, only for the man to come out of it.”
A herbalist who was also in the area, reportedly on his way to collect herbs, joined the hunter in escorting Foster into the community.
Their arrival attracted several residents, some of whom called for police intervention to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident.
The discovery has triggered speculation among residents, with some alleging that Foster had spent three days inside the coffin as part of a suspected money-making ritual.
However, the claims have not been independently verified.
Foster was subsequently handed over to the police to assist with investigations into the incident.
