36 schoolchildren in the US were hospitalized after becoming ill while using a Ouija board

In a disturbing event, 36 kids at the San Francisco de Ass School in Timbiqu, Colombia, were identified as having fainting spells, temporary blindness, and nervousness. Students reportedly encountered this issue after using a Ouija board at school, according to an article in The Mirror. Emilio Balanta, the school’s rector, reportedly sprinkled holy water over the crowd while murmuring a prayer. He provided further details about this encounter to The Mirror and said that it was a very unique phenomena.

He claims that as a female began to resist, others grabbed hold of her hard to prevent further injury. Another female reportedly began experiencing the same issue, according to Emilio. Some have said that the Ouija board was to blame for this sad tragedy, he continued. The others, according to Emilio Balanta, think it was caused by a student-found online challenge. No one has yet confirmed that these are the two versions, he said.

The kids were rushed to the hospital, where they are currently making a full recovery. Some of the pupils are still experiencing minor symptoms. An inquiry into the event is ongoing, according to a story in The Mirror. The Cauca Department’s education secretary, Amarildo Correa, has urged parents and instructors to be extra cautious around kids. According to Correa, so that similar occurrences won’t happen again, they have requested parents, administrators, and instructors to be more mindful of pupils.

Thirty girls were brought to a hospital in Colombia in March, and a similar incidence came to light at that time. They had also engaged in a game of Ouija, which is said to be what precipitated the tragedy. While utilizing the séance equipment, 28 females from Galeras Educational Institution in Pasto, Colombia, had passed out from nervousness. The children were admitted to the hospital due to anxiousness and vertigo problems. According to Hugo Torres, the director of the Galeras Educational Institution, there may be 28 incidents of anxiousness among schoolchildren. Concern concerning the use of Ouija boards in the classroom has been raised by parents. Parents were exhorted by a mother to be extra watchful and inquire about what was going inside the school.
