Accra: Where History, Medicine, and the Supernatural Converge
Ghanaian supernatural traditions are rich and deeply embedded in daily life around Accra. The Akan concept of 'sunsum' (spirit) and 'sasa' (a vengeful ghost of someone who died violently or was wronged) shapes cultural attitudes toward death and the afterlife. The slave castles along the coast near Accra are considered profoundly haunted, with guides at Cape Coast Castle reporting that cameras malfunction and visitors faint in the underground dungeons where enslaved people were held. In Ga tradition, the indigenous people of Accra believe in 'jemawoji'—spirits of the sea and lagoon—who must be appeased through annual Homowo festival rituals. Fantasy coffins, for which Ghana is internationally famous, reflect the belief that the dead continue their journey and should travel in style, with coffins shaped like cars, fish, airplanes, and other objects representing the deceased's life and aspirations.
Accra's medical history reflects Ghana's role as a pioneer in West African healthcare and tropical medicine research. Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, opened in 1923 under British colonial administration, became the first major modern hospital in the Gold Coast and remains Ghana's principal medical facility. The city was instrumental in early research on tropical diseases, particularly malaria and yellow fever, with pioneering work conducted at the Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research, named after Japanese bacteriologist Hideyo Noguchi who died of yellow fever in Accra in 1928 while researching the disease. Ghana's independence in 1957 under Kwame Nkrumah brought expanded medical education, and Accra became a regional hub for training physicians serving all of West Africa.
