The Lango

Record summary

J. H. Driberg's The Lango describes social and religious life in northern Uganda, including diviners, spirit beliefs, dreams, omens and healing. It can support comparison of spontaneous dream reports with culturally recognized mediums and practical decision-making. The source is identifiable and contemporaneous with late colonial administration, but it is not a collection of independently verified precognition cases. Its terminology and authorial judgments require checking against Lango-language materials and later scholarship. Any apparent psi episode should be reconstructed from the original context rather than extracted as a sensational anecdote.
