The family of a dead man has applied for his exhumation and reburial after he spoke to them from beyond the grave, a newspaper reported.
Steven Nyakunhuwa, originally from Honde Valley in Manicaland, died in 2009 and was buried at Bulawayo's Hyde Park Cemetery.
But his family says his spirit has possessed his 26-year-old son who regularly slips into a trance to accuse his second wife of killing him while demanding to be reburied, the Chronicle newspaper reported.
A relative told the newspaper: "When Kudzanayi, the son from the first marriage, gets possessed by his father's spirit, he speaks and acts exactly like his father.
"The spirit demands to know why the second wife fed him a love potion which killed him. At times, it tries to strangle the woman.
"Steven said, through Kudzanayi, that there would be no peace for everyone if his body was not exhumed and reburied in Manicaland."
His second wife, Fadzai, fled the matrimonial home in Nkulumane after her stepson attacked her while possessed by her father's spirit. He also smashed 16 window panes.
He was arrested and later released without charge after the police decided "what they were seeing was beyond their understanding," the Chronicle added.
The dead man's uncle, Nobbie Kwadi, 61, said: "We are not fighting with anyone and we do not want to say things that will later cause quarrels among relatives.
"We can only tell you that the body will be exhumed on Friday. It was supposed to be done last week but there was a missing document in our application to the Bulawayo City Council, for permission to dig up the grave at Hyde Park Cemetery."

Oscar winning director Peter Jackson claims
he saw a ghost years ago in an apartment in
Wellington, New Zealand.
Wellington film-maker Peter Jackson says he saw a real ghost once.
In London for the premiere of "The Lovely Bones" - a film he has directed from Alice Sebold's story in which a murdered teenage girl gives her viewpoint from heaven - Jackson said he did not know what a real soul was like.
But he told Britain's Channel 4 TV that while he could not swear the spirit in the movie was 100 percent accurate, he had seen a real ghost.
"It was genuine," said Jackson, who made a 1996 ghost movie," The Frighteners" - co-written with his wife Fran Walsh - starring Michael J Fox.
His sighting was in an apartment he and his wife had in Wellington's Courtney Place opposite the St James Theatre, when they first met 20 years ago.
"I woke up one morning and there was a figure in the room, she was very scary, she had a screaming face, very accusatory, she was a lady about 50 years old," Jackson said.
"It was terrifying actually, a very scary image and she was at the end of the bed and she glided across the room and disappeared into the wall.
"I sat in bed and thought, have I really seen that?" said Jackson.
"Then Fran came in. I told her about it and the first thing she said was: 'was it the woman with the screaming face?"' he said.
"Fran had seen the same woman in the same room about two years before."
Jackson said that when the St James Theatre was being restored a few years ago, people talked about the legend of the woman who committed suicide after being booed off the stage after a bad show in vaudeville days.
"They say she manifests herself in the theatre with a screaming face. Sometimes she's seen - the same ghost. She needs to learn to smile a little."
