Teenage girls being hospitalized in Colombia because of Ouija boards.

Crazy - Ouija board casualties are on the rise in Colombia with girls experiencing panic attacks and nervous breakdowns. Stranger still is the way that these cases are reported - one headline is even "Teenage girl possibly possessed by the devil."

Here's one article:

Six girls between ten and fourteen years old were admitted to a local hospital in the Tolima department after having played with a ouija board.

The girls, all from the village of Buenavista, were taken to the Rafael Gutierrez hospital in San Juan del Valle after having played the Parker Brothers board game that is used to summon spirits, but according to some can summon demons.

Hospital psychologist Maritza Guzmán told Caracol Radio Saturday that, even though the girls were free of physical symptoms, tests had proven the girls were suffering psychological disorders when being admitted.

All girls were sent home after being examined, but continue to be under supervision of the hospital's psychology staff.

The families of the ouija-playing girls asked the local priest to conduct a serious of prayers for the girls.

These three girls took a picture with a ghost:

Three teenage girls from a Tolima town saw a ghost standing behind them in a photo taken after having played improvised satanic rituals, local media reported Wednesday.

The incident happened last week in the town of Purificacion when the girls, between 15 and 17 years old, decided to dress up as witches and to try satanic rituals and spells - just for fun.

One of the teenagers asked her younger brother to take a photo of the girls to remember the evening. They had the shock of their lives when they discovered the clear image of a man standing behind them.

Seeing the alleged ghost, the girls started to scream and panic and one of them even suffered a nervous breakdown.

The three friends swear that they were only playing around and did not use a ouija board to invoke spirits, which is a more common reason for panic among teenage girls in Colombia and especially in the Tolima department.
