MANILA, Philippines—Five more students suffered from seizure as “evil spirits” continued to “haunt” a public high school in Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro province, Friday, a school official said.

The five new cases brought the total to 26 students having been “possessed” in a month at the Pedro Panaligan Memorial National High School.  The victims were crying in pain as they suffered from seizures and shortness of breath, she said.
The school, located in the village of Comunal, has not been holding regular classes since August 8 because of various instances of "evil possession,".  The victims, mostly girls, have pointed to evil spirits apparently incensed by the cutting of a decades-old tree in the school’s backyard.
