“Again to my great surprise there were “all-coloured lights” which lighted and shone as diamonds on to every part of this house, even I tried my best to find out from where the lights were coming, but it was in vain, because it was not quenched both day and night. As it surprised me greatly I asked her about it, she replied,‘the power of lights is among my supernatural powers.’”

—Amos Tutuola, My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, 1954.
Yes, this is the book (or at least the title) that inspired one of the most influential record albums of 1980 (or at least its title), David Byrne and Brian Eno’s My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. The broken english is all sic and stet . . . it’s just as Amos Tutuola wrote it.
