A video shared by Nairobi Gossip Club on November 2, 2026, shows a content creator known as Mkale Wa Trans Nzoia dressing as a ghost and scaring unsuspecting villagers on a dusty murram road in Trans Nzoia. The clip has gone viral, with Kenyans flooding the comments with hilarious reactions. The prank, which was part of a wave of Halloween 2026 ghost-prank content online, has been praised for its rural comedy.
Mkale Wa Trans Nzoia's terrifying ghost costume consisted of a white-painted face with blackened eyes, a long messy curly wig, a dirty cream dress, and a black blazer. He carried a small hammer to complete the look. The setting was a narrow red-earth murram road in Trans Nzoia, where Mkale positioned himself behind two young men walking along the path. Without warning, he broke into a sprint, chasing the pair and causing one of them to scream and bolt into the bushes.
The victim, a young man in a striped jacket, jeans, a beanie, and a backpack, was seen running and laughing at the same time, repeatedly looking back in pure terror. A bodaboda rider who happened to pass by pulled over to watch the scene unfold. In another shot, Mkale is seen creeping slowly towards the camera in full character before breaking into his signature sprint.
Kenyans have reacted to the village prank, with many pointing out that Halloween is not a Kenyan tradition, making the prank even more terrifying for the victims. Others praised Mkale for the content, calling it pure village comedy and urging him to keep the rural pranks coming. Mkale Wa Trans Nzoia is well known for comedy content rooted in rural life, covering everything from farming to funny village encounters.
The comments section lit up with reactions from amused Kenyans, with one fan writing "Baba ya mtu anapiga nduru kama mtoto." Many praised Mkale for his creativity and humor, while others expressed concern for the villagers who were scared by the prank. The video has been widely shared on social media, with many calling it a hilarious and entertaining piece of content.
