Close to 30 schoolgirls have been hospitalized with anxiety attacks after allegedly playing with Ouija boards at their school in Colombia.
A Jam Press report claims there were 28 possible cases of anxiety in school students,” where the incident took place.
According to the outlet, Hugo Torres, head of the Galeras Educational Institution in Galeras, said alarm bells went off after the girls reportedly suffered signs of fainting, anxiety and other symptoms at school.
A Daily Mail report states that they were subsequently admitted to a municipal hospital accompanied by parents and school faculty.
However, Torres has since accused community members of stoking hysteria by spreading unfounded rumors. “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,”
