* Ngangas in ''TabletopGame/SpearsOfTheDawn'' is this trope to a T. They're spellcasters whose magic deals heavily with the placing and removal of curses, and their ritual gear frequently includes masks. They're widely feared and distrusted, but having a nganga around is also acknowledged as necessary to protect a community from hostile magic.

* In its 2nd edition, ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' introduced a Kit[[note]]variant class traits bundle[[/note]] called the Witch Doctor in its "Complete Book of Humanoids" sourcebook. This was a priestly kit which shared some traits with the shaman (introduced in the same book), but had the unique ability to cast wizard spells, albeit from only a single school and at half the potency of their priestly spells. The kit vanished with the release of the 3rd edition, perhaps because of D&D's long-standing issue with FantasticRacism often overlapping into ValuesDissonance, but the concept survived as the Adept; a "primitive" magic-user NPC class with traits of both cleric and sorcerer.

* In 1974, during a World Cup qualifier in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), the Australian soccer team got a local witch-doctor to curse the opposition, but couldn't produce the money when he demanded payment, causing him to switch the curse to the Australian team. The curse was used as ann "explanation" for Australia's failure to qualify for subsequent World Cups, most notably 1998, when Australia was leading Iran 2-0 late in the final qualifying game (after tying the first game 1-1), only for Iran to score two late goals and qualify on away goals. In 2003, Australian television personality John Safran paid another witch doctor to remove the curse, and Australia then qualified for the 2006 and 2010 World Cups.
