Follow up to ""When "Evil spirits" attack""
Very neat article that I found that follows up on the multiple cases of high school students getting seizures, and it being tied back to paranormal causes.
The Department of Education plans to send a medical team to a public high school in Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro, where 26 students have suffered from seizures attributed by some residents to "evil spirits."
Located in the village of Comunal, 50 meters away from the highway, the school has a population of 692 students and has graduates who became scholars and honor students in college.
In past years, there were one or two cases of seizure reported but according to Tungol, these cases suddenly spiked in the last week of July and then surfaced again from Aug. 8 until Aug. 19.
Tungol said the cases seemed all the more puzzling for the school community as the priest and local healers did not seem able to deal with the "spirits."
Due to the worsening cases of seizures, the school administration appealed for help from experts.
"We're open to whatever will be effective and will heal the students. We want our classes to return to normal as soon as possible," said Tungol.
The school is asking DepEd's help for the expenses incurred in the healing sessions with the paranormal healers, he added.
