The Nama Hottentots of the Kalahari tell of queer and monstrous shapes haunting the scrub and the sand-dunes: the Aigamuchab who have eyes on their feet — on the top of the instep — instead of the usual place. They walk upright, their eyes looking up to the sky; if they want to know what is going on around them, they progress on hands and knees, holding up one foot, so that the eye looks backwards. They hunt men as if they were zebras, and tear them to pieces with their terrible, pointed teeth, which are as long as a man’s finger. These cannibals are not solitary, like the ngojama, but live in villages, with their wives and children. There are stories of people straying into an Aigamuchab village and escaping with difficulty (1477: p.243).
