Three American friends have been taken to hospital after reportedly becoming 'possessed' by evil spirits while
playing with a Ouija board.
Alexandra Huerta, 22, was playing the game with her brother Sergio, 23, and 18-year-old cousin Fernando
Cuevas at a house in the village of San Juan Tlacotenco in south-west Mexico.
But minutes into it, she apparently started 'growling' and thrashing around in a 'trance-like' state.

Meanwhile, Sergio and Fernando also reportedly started showing signs of 'possession', including feelings of
blindness, deafness and hallucinations.
Paramedics were called to the house and took the trio to hospital, according to Alexandra's parents.
They restrained Alexandra to prevent her from hurting herself, before treating the three with painkillers, antistress 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.

It uses a small heart-shaped piece of wood or movable indicator to indicate the spirit's message by spelling it
out on the board during a seance.
Participants place their fingers on the wood and it is supposedly moved around the board by the spirit to spell
out words.
Mainstream religions and some occultists have associated use of a Ouija board with the concept of demonic
possession, and have cautioned their followers not to use one.

If ouija boards were so dangerous we'd hear about people dying from them every day. We don't.
