In 2015 Sharkur Lucas, a mortuary attendant at a hospital in Ghana, said live on Adom TV that he had had sex with many corpses, claiming it was part of his “training”. After the interview he was fired and sought by the police, but nothing more has been heard of him.
In early 2015 Sharkur Lucas took part in a talk show on the Ghanaian channel Adom TV. During the interview, which was broadcast live, he admitted having sex with corpses while at work in the mortuary of a hospital in Ghana, which he said was Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra.
Sex with Corpses
During the interview, Lucas – a mortuary worker – has admitted to having sex with corpses.
Lucas was detailing his job duties, when the interviewer asked him if he had ever been attracted to a dead girl.
At that point, Lucas admitted having sexual intercourse with ‘fresh’ dead girls.
‘I had sex with corpses many, many times’
Lucas declared, claiming that this ‘ritual’ was part of his job training.
They make you have sex with corpses, because once you have done that you will no longer be afraid of them. And it works
The Training
Lucas described a series of tests he had to undertake for his training, specifying that the first one did not involve having sex with corpses. He was initiated into his career as mortuary worker by his godfather at the age of 12.
The First Test
Lucas’ godfather took him on a tour of the mortuary. He made him wait in the waiting room and brought him some food. While Lucas was eating, his godfather brought in a corpse and then proceeded to rub the corpse up against Lucas’ body.
To pass the first test, Lucas needed to refrain from throwing up, despite the deathly smell; he passed this first test easily.
The Second Test
To pass his second test, Lucas had to live for 5 days and 5 nights in a cemetery. During his stay, he had to read a meditation book.
The Third Test
To complete the third step of his job induction, Lucas had to choose an animal from a list provided. The chosen animal would then become his guardian animal, with the purpose of defending him in case of an attack in the mortuary.
The role of this guardian animal was to feel Lucas’ pain during the attack; among the animals on the list, Lucas could pick the gorilla and the tiger.
Talking about these attacks, Lucas explained that some dead bodies are only dead in their physical appearance, yet they are very much alive in a spiritual sense; they can, therefore, attack the mortuary workers and even leave them paralysed.
According to Lucas, the dead roam the city streets at night, enjoying themselves in nightclubs. They also visit him in his dreams and tell him about their previous lives.
Lucas also confessed to selling body parts to interested ‘clients’ – among them some prostitutes – for magical purposes.
The Last Test
To pass his last test, Lucas had to have sex with a corpse and thus overcome any fear of dead people.
Lucas’ Troubles Getting on with Living Women
Sharkur Lucas also talked about his difficulty in having a relationship with women.
When they find out about my job, they are no longer interested in dating me. The mortuary is the only place where I can fulfil my needs
He also admitted that he never slept with a living woman, because women reject him due to the macabre nature of his job.
After the interview, Lucas was fired and the police started looking for him. During the interview, when the journalist asked him whether he had mental health problems, Lucas replied that he was fine, and he never understood what was wrong with what he had done. The police, however, could not find him, and nothing more has been heard of him.
