This story comes out of Mexico, and it’s a doozy. There’s a moment at the beginning of The Conjuring that made me sure I’d love the movie because it nails Ed Warren exactly. When the co-eds say they invited the spirit to live in the doll, Annabelle, Ed says (in the film), “You did WHAT?!?”
That, my friends, is Ed Warren, And that is my exact response to this story.
Alexandra Huerta is a 16-year-old orphan living with family in remote Tepotzlan, Mexico.
After voicing a desire to speak to and know her dead parents, who died when she was a baby, her guardians suggested she use a ouija board combined with a drug called Brugmansia. Brugsmansia, also called Angel’s Trumpet, is used in shamanistic black magic rituals common in the rural areas surrounding Tepotzlan.
Alexandra, her brother, and her cousin brewed the traditional tea from the flowers of the plant, ingested it, and began using the ouija board.
You did WHAT?!?
Within minutes, they were all overcome. Speaking in voices not their own, they proceeded to attempt to harm themselves, even using kitchen utensils. The paramedics were called when attempts to rouse the teens from their horrific behavior failed. One paramedic took a two-minute video you can watch below… and be warned it is not for the faint of heart.
Writhing and saying that she’s going to die, Alexandra is behaving, well, possessed.
The teens reported symptoms including horrific visions, numbness, and muscle spasms. They came out of the apparent effects of the possession while in the hospital. Their current condition isn’t known, as family won’t allow them to speak to outsiders. However, they say they fear they are still possessed.
According to the story, a local priest refused to perform an exorcism because they didn’t attend his church, then stated a special priest from the city is required for exorcisms.
Is this a case of unsuspecting teenagers sent into madness by a natural drug concocted from the Angel’s Trumpet flowers? Was their behavior just the effect of a strong hallucinogenic drug, or is there something more sinister at work? Did their attempt to reach the dead while dropping their mental and spiritual defenses lead to a flood of what can only be called the demonic?
Man, Ed, we miss you. You and Lorraine are needed in Mexico.
