3 Americans Hospitalized in Mexico after Using Ouija Board After playing with a Ouija board south of Mexico City, three Americans – Alexandra Huerta (above), 22; Sergio Huerta, 23; Fernando Cuevas, 18 – showed signs of demonic possession and had to be hospitalized. They were refused treatment by a local priest because they were not “local churchgoers.”
Alexandra Huerta, shortly after playing the game, allegedly entered a trance-like state, started growling and “thrashed around.” The two males reportedly experienced hallucinations, deafness and blindness. The three were subdued by paramedics who tended to them at the scene.
According to the Daily Mail, Huerta was restrained to keep her from hurting herself before the three were administered painkillers, anti-stress medication and eye drops, which seemingly worked.
Victor Demesa, 46, the director of public safety in the nearby town of Tepoztlan, said: “The medical rescue of these three young people was very complicated. They had involuntary movements and it was difficult to transfer them to the nearest hospital because they were so erratic. It appeared as if they were in a trance-like state, apparently after playing with the Ouija board. They spoke of feeling numbness, double vision, blindness, deafness, hallucinations, muscle spasm and difficulty swallowing.” He added that whether the trio was really possessed, or had simply convinced themselves they were, was not something doctors could ascertain.Source: Chet Williams, ThoughtCatalog, June 25, 2014.

So the moral of the story might be that if we use Ouija boards we should do it at the hospital. Apparently, they can cure demonic possessions much easier than in the movies.  |

So what's the point of an exorcist if a hospital can cure possession? I wonder what the eye drops do.

Update: Turns out they had taken a drug called "Brugmansia", also known as "Angel's Trumpet", which is from a plant that grows in Latin America. It causes hallucinations, convulsions, paralysis just to name a few. It can kill in large doses.
The girl's guardian admitted to telling the children how to contact the dead using the Ouija and this drug. Apparently the native shamans do this all the time.

Some people in Florida did the same thing earlier this week. Here's the story that was on the news.
'Angel Trumpet' sends four to local hospitals
ORANGE PARK, Fla. -- Four people were hospitalized Thursday morning in Orange Park for overdosing on a homemade hallucinogenic concoction involving a flower.
It happened while two children were inside the home.
Neighbors say police have been called to the trailer before off Collins Road in Orange Park. Thursday morning paramedics transported four people. The four adults were described by police as being seriously impaired. Neighbor Odella Coons says they were messed up. "They could still move around they did not know what was going on. They were yuck," Coons said
Officers on the scene learned a flower called Angel Trumpet was used to make a drink that will make you hallucinate. In the neighborhood, attention turned to children whom police say were calm and in good condition. "The young girl inside the house knows that whenever anything happens, she automatically calls 911," Gene Dixon said. Dixon lives next door. He says a month ago he called the Department of Children and Family Services. He was concerned about the children. "It seems like you can almost set your watch and calendar because every two weeks something happens at this place," he said.
DCF says it has an ongoing investigation. Now with four adults overdosing, a DCF spokesman says this incident increases the agency's concern to find out what is going on.
Neighbors say they are waiting to see what happens next as their primary concern is the children who were inside the home.

The flowers that they call Angel Trumpets don't grow in Kentucky, unless you kept them inside and I don't think that they're house plants, but I've known folks who got high on a wild plant called Jimson weed that I think is in the same plant species as Angel Trumpets. It has big purple flowers that are in the shape of trumpets.

I wonder if this is the newest drug fad. We had the bath salts thing, now this.

Yes, the Angel Trumpet (Brugmansia genus) is a very popular ornamental garden plant found in Florida. Many do not know that it can be lethal (I am not sure if it is toxic to animals as well) and just plant it because it has a pretty pink flower. It has been used in the past in tea by some to kill their spouses, or to commit suicide. I go to several botanical gardens and in every tour I have taken, the tour guides will mention its hallucinogenic properties and its ability to kill. I find it hard to believe that someone who actually knows it can produce hallucinogenic properties would not have also researched, and come across, the sickly effects it can produce, as well as the possibility of death.
