Macheke is a small human settlement in Murehwa District, Mashonaland East Province, Zimbabwe, located about 105 km south‑east of Harare on the A3 Harare–Mutare highway. The town is named after the Macheke River; the name is reported to mean "you have divided." The provided corpus (Wikipedia, Wikidata, and selected declassified intelligence documents) supplies only administrative, geographic, and historical-context references and does not document any paranormal incidents, named spirits, eyewitness testimony, or folkloric accounts tied to hauntings at Macheke. Declassified CIA materials included among the sources reference regional geopolitical events in the mid‑1970s (Rhodesia context) but do not link to local supernatural claims. Because the supplied materials contain no evidence of hauntings, any assertion of "Macheke River hauntings" remains unsubstantiated by these sources.
