He reportedly told his family his captor had put him under a 'spell'.

Omar was found in a hole where he was held for decades after being ‘kidnapped’ Eight suspects have been charged with the kidnapping an Algerian man who was held captive for almost 30 years in a cellar just metres from his family home. Omar Bin Omran disappeared in the Algerian city of Djelfa 27 years ago when he was a teenager. But his family were shocked to discover the man had been held prisoner just 200m from his home the entire time, in a hole inside a neighbour’s sheep pen.

Omar reportedly told family members he used to see them passing by the stable he was held captive in, but was unable to contact them because he believed himself to be ‘under some sort of black magic spell’ cast by his alleged abductor. When Omar went missing, his dog reportedly pined for him outside the neighbour’s home for weeks- before allegedly being poisoned by the captor in attempt to ward the family off, according to Algerian newspaper El Khabar.
