Family sues genie.

From Ananova:

A family in Saudi Arabia is taking a genie to court for throwing stones at them and stealing their mobile phones.

The family say they have been forced to move out of their home of 15 years in Medina, reports the Al Watan newspaper.

A local court is investigating. In Islamic theology, genies are spirits that can harass or possess humans.

"We began to hear strange sounds," the head of the family told the Saudi daily. He did not want to be named.

"At first we did not take it seriously, but then stranger things started to happen and the children got particularly scared when the genie started throwing stones.
