Twenty-eight girls were hospitalized with panic attacks in Colombia. According to local authorities, the board game Ouija, which the girls played at school, is at stake.
Loss of feeling and anxiety were the first warning signs given by the participants in the game, the purpose of which was to “talk with the spirits.”
“We identified 28 possible cases of student anxiety,” said Hugo Torres, president of the Instituto Educativo Galeras.
Medical reports have not yet been formalized, but a large number of parents believe that the school, which allowed the use of these trays, is to blame for what happened.
The mother of a student at the institution and a hospital employee says she sees “three or four children” every day who are being taken to the hospital in a swoon. “Parents need to figure out what’s going on at school because our kids can’t continue in a situation like this,” he added.
The president of the institute said that the school is waiting for the results of medical diagnoses, asking “to be respectful of citizens to refrain from judgments and early diagnoses.”
Created by a spiritualist in the United States in 1886, Ouija boards are considered a way to communicate with the dead. The numbers and letters are distributed on the boards. Participants must place their hand on top of the wooden pointer board, where they ask any “spirit” present in the room to answer their questions, he will do so, through the letters of the alphabet or numbers from 0 to 9.
