to Tanda, a place where they gave an account of themselves and of their doings in the flesh, and that, after paying their respects to Walumbe, the god of death, they were free 286 THE BAGANDA chap- to go back to their respective burial grounds. As a rule the shrines of ghosts were built near the graves, though sometimes a noted chief had his jawbone removed by his clan, and placed in some special shrine of the clan. In the small shrines the relatives placed offerings of beer or clothing.
The ma...jority of ghosts were beneficent, and assisted the members of the clan to which they belonged ; only the ghosts of a man's sisters were thought to be troublesome, their malice venting itself more especially on his children. The medicine- man, by consulting the oracle, could tell people which ghost was causing them trouble, and could show them how to appease it. It was thought that ghosts were frequently annoyed by their graves being neglected and becoming overgrown with weeds. Sometimes a goat, or even a cow, had to be given to appease a ghost for this neglect ; the animals thus given were kept alive.
