Alexandra Huerta, 22, reportedly playing with Ouija board in Mexican village Joined by her brother Sergio, 23, and 18-year-old cousin Fernando Cuevas But minutes into game, trio apparently started acting in a 'trance-like state' Alexandra began 'growling', while her relatives were suffering hallucinations.
Paramedics were called to the house and took the trio to hospital, according to Alexandra's parents.
They restrained Alexandra to prevent her from hurting herself, before treating the three with painkillers, anti-stress medication and eye drops, which seemingly worked.
Victor Demesa, 46, the director of public safety in the nearby town of Tepoztlan, said: 'The medical rescue of these three young people was very complicated.
Board game: The trio had reportedly been playing with a Ouija board (pictured) when they started to show signs of 'possession'. Above, the Victorian parlour game is also known as the spirit board or talking board
'They had involuntary movements and it was difficult to transfer them to the nearest hospital because they were so erratic.
'It appeared as if they were in a trance-like state, apparently after playing with the Ouija board.
'They spoke of feeling numbness, double vision, blindness, deafness, hallucinations, muscle spasm and difficulty swallowing.'
He added that whether the trio were really possessed, or had simply convinced themselves that they were, was not for doctors to comment on.
Scene: Alexandra's parents said they had called paramedics after a local Catholic priest in the village of San Juan Tlacotenco (pictured) refused to perform an exorcism on the three because they were not churchgoers
Alexandra's parents said they had called paramedics after a local Catholic priest refused to perform an exorcism on the three because they were not regular churchgoers.
The Ouija board - also known as a spirit board or talking board - is a flat board marked with the letters of the alphabet, the numbers 0-9, the words 'yes', 'no', 'hello' and 'goodbye' and various symbols and graphics.
'They had involuntary movements and it was difficult to transfer them to the nearest hospital because they were so erratic'
It uses a small heart-shaped piece of wood or movable indicator to indicate the spirit's message by spelling it out on the board during a seance.
Participants place their fingers on the wood and it is supposedly moved around the board by the spirit to spell out words.
Mainstream religions and some occultists have associated use of a Ouija board with the concept of demonic possession, and have cautioned their followers not to use one.

This article is really horribly written. Is there any reason for there to be so many repetitions of the same sentences? Takes away from the reading experience.
ReplyDelete"Takes away from the reading experience." ?? Is that even a sentence there you anonymous grammar nazi?
Deleteanonymous grammar nazi XD
Deletewell this was entertaining...
ReplyDeleteikr what does it mean could you at least tell us
ReplyDeleteNot really a "grammar nazi". It's really a annoying that the writer kept repeating the same thing over and over. Maybe they were possessed! Haha, or just stupid.
ReplyDeleteScary! I am thoroughly freaked out by ouija boards, though I've never used one or been in a house where one was being used.
ReplyDeletenone of that convinced me that Ouija is genuine. I do believe in it though cos of a story my husband told of being at séance with friends where a shotglass they were all touching flew across the room + shattered against the wall. He will have nothing to do with such things. not much else in this world scares him..
ReplyDeleteIf they were possessed how could they remember the growling and trance state of mind?
