28 schoolgirls were taken to the hospital after collapsing while playing with Ouija boards at a Colombian school.
According to DailyMail on Wednesday, the students were rushed to the hospital having lost consciousness with ‘anxiety’ after using the boards, known also as spirit boards, which are used to ‘contact the dead’.
The Head of the Galeras Educational Institution in Pasto, southern Colombia, Hugo Torres, said, “There were 28 possible cases of anxiety in school students.
“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.
“For this reason, INEGA is allowed to report that the students were referred to the local municipal hospital according to protocols in place.”
The local authorities have yet to confirm whether a police investigation is underway.
Ouija boards were invented by spiritualists in the United States in 1886 and are believed by some to be a way to communicate with the dead.
