Parents Blame Occultic Ouija Board After Dozens of Students Hospitalized for ‘Anxiety’
Ashley Sadler with LifeSiteNews reports:
Nearly 30 school kids in majority-Catholic Colombia were taken to the hospital last month for “anxiety.” Some parents reportedly feared the event was caused by the children playing with Ouija boards at school.
The head of the school, however, has sought to tamp down the rumors pending the release of medical reports.
The 28 children, students of the Institución Educativa de Galeras (INEGA) in Galeras, Sucre, Colombia, were hospitalized on February 24, accompanied by school staff and teachers.
INEGA head Hugo Torres said in an official statement posted to Facebook that the children had suffered from “possible cases of anxiety” and “were referred to the local municipal hospital according to protocols in place.”
English-language outlets have reported that the children had been hospitalized after fainting. However, Torres referred only to anxiety, not loss of consciousness, in his comments.
