Saul Padi belives a tokoloshe (goblin) with dreadlocks keeps calling him.
He says the creature keeps him awake at night, sending SMS and keeps on calling him at work during the day.
Apparently it also sends insulting written messages or makes calls to his girlfriend's cellphone.
The tokoloshe comes to 40-year-old Saul in the form of a dreadlocked man, but it uses a woman's voice when it calls him, he says.
Speaking to Daily Sun at his home in Tsakane, South Africa, Saul said: "This started in March last year after my wife and I got divorced.
"One day I was shocked to find my dead mother standing in the middle of my kitchen.
"I was troubled and needed to talk to her, but then I became suspicious and realised it was not my mother but a tokoloshe."
Saul said the tokoloshe became angry at being caught out and it started attacking him. Then it just disappeared.
But it came back as a dreadlocked man and has been fighting with Saul ever since. His body is covered with scars and scratches.
In December the tokoloshe started sending disgusting SMS to his cellphone.
"I reported this to police. The number was stopped through the service provider," Saul said.
"My girlfriend and I changed our cellphone numbers, but it keeps finding them and calling me."
