Over Two Dozen Schoolgirls Hospitalized After Playing With Ouija
The New York Post reported that nearly 30 Columbian schoolgirls had to be hospitalized after collectively playing with a spirit board. The youths experienced mental distress and other cognitive impairments after the session.
Hugo Torres, head of the Galeras Educational Institution in Galeras, said “There were 28 possible cases of anxiety in school students.” The story was run in Jam Press according to The Post.
The item became a big part of the March 9 alternative news cycle with many outlets, including FOX News, running with it.
It all happened at the Galeras Educational Institution. Alarm bells went off after a mass spell of fainting, anxiety, and other worrisome symptoms overtook the girls and they had to be transported to the municipal hospital by the faculty.
Of course, a concrete diagnosis has yet to be reported, but parents of the children are blaming a Ouija board for the incident. Columbia has a long history and superstitions have been passed down for centuries. For every village, there is probably a ghost story shrouded in magic and mystery.
“I work here in a hospital kiosk and every day I see three or four children arrive after fainting,” said one mother of a victim. “Parents, you have to move, investigate what’s happening at school, because our children cannot continue in this situation.”
She added, “Our children always have a good breakfast and it cannot be said that what’s happening is due to lack of food.”
Torres is being a little more scientific about the whole situation, “Given the reported cases, a series of comments were unleashed on the community that, rather than helping to resolve the situation, led to confusion and an adverse environment for our work,” he said.
“The school is waiting for the medical diagnoses to provide further reliable information,” said Torres, who hopes the community will stop jumping to otherworldy conclusions.
The school hasn’t publicly released the reason for the mass illness and there has been no word on if a police investigation is warranted.

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed
Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.
This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.
The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.
The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.
Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.
Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.
