A Saudi man whose house caught fire many times overnight said he believes they were caused by the jinn (ghosts) and called for religious help.

Mohammed Al Zubaidi said one room in his two-level house in a village near the western town of Al Qunfuda suddenly caught fire on Monday night before the blaze started to spread to other rooms.

“My family and I tried to douse the blaze but could not as it kept spreading. We then called the civil defence,” he told Sabq newspaper.

“I appeal for our sheikhs (Muslim scholars) to visit my house to immunize it against such attacks by the Jinn.

"I have not done anything that made the Jinn take revenge against my house and family.”
