An incident unfolded at San Francisco de Asís School in Timbiquí, Colombia, as dozens of children playing with an Ouija board experienced alarming symptoms and were subsequently rushed to a local hospital. Teachers and family members promptly provided assistance to the 36 children, who exhibited distressing signs such as fainting, temporary loss of sight, and anxiety.
In an attempt to address the situation, the school’s rector, Emilio Balanta, resorted to sprinkling holy water over the group while uttering a prayer. However, the exact cause behind the unsettling episode remains shrouded in mystery, leaving the community searching for answers. Balanta expressed his bewilderment, stating that the incident was an unusual and seemingly diabolical occurrence. Some theories circulating among the community attribute the incident to the use of the Ouija board, while others suggest an online challenge found on the internet. Nevertheless, no definitive explanation has been confirmed thus far.
Thankfully, the majority of the affected children have shown signs of recovery since the incident, with their condition reportedly improving by approximately 90%. While some residual symptoms persist for a few individuals, they are not deemed serious.
Authorities have launched an investigation into the incident to shed light on the underlying causes and prevent similar occurrences in the future. Amarildo Correa, the education secretary for Cauca Department, has called for increased vigilance among parents and teachers to ensure the well-being of children. He emphasized the importance of remaining attentive to prevent such incidents from recurring.
This distressing event echoes a previous incident in Colombia, where 28 schoolgirls were hospitalized after using an Ouija board and subsequently losing consciousness. The affected students were accompanied by school staff to receive medical attention. Concerns were raised about the possible consequences of engaging in activities that could potentially open doors to unsettling experiences. Parents voiced their worries, urging authorities to investigate the situation at schools more thoroughly and ensure the safety of their children.
Chris DeFlorio, a retired police officer who now works as an exorcist, offered a unique perspective on the matter, suggesting that playing with an Ouija board might have inadvertently opened a “doorway to evil.” DeFlorio, who performs exorcisms across the United States with his wife Harmony, explained that there have been multiple documented cases of incidents involving teenagers and Ouija boards in Colombia. He cited an instance where a teenage girl began speaking in a strange language and struck her brother with a stick.
While the exact nature of these incidents remains unclear, it is evident that the use of Ouija boards by teenagers has raised concerns and prompted authorities, parents, and educators to remain vigilant. As investigations continue, it is hoped that a clearer understanding of these occurrences will emerge, allowing for the implementation of measures to prevent similar incidents and ensure the safety and well-being of children in educational settings.
