Villagers say this ‘demonic’ voodoo doll is torturing their town

Villagers in a small Central American town are blaming violent c🗹onvulsions on a voodoo doll.

Up to 30 residents living in Santa Tomas, Guatemala, claim they have been “possessed by the devil” after suffering “grisi siknis,” which directly translates to “crazy sickness.”

The s♉ickness is a culture-bound syndrome that mostly affects Central American communities.

It is believed to be 🍌contagious,𒊎 and leads sufferers to become violent as they see visions of the devil.

Th🌸ey eerily go on to name the 🐟sicknesses’ next victim, while suffering from a range of symptoms including headaches, nausea, anxiety, dizziness and anger.

They 💮are also reported to go through periods of “rap༺id frenzy”.

A video of villagers suffering the symptoms of the “crazy 𝓰sickness” has appeared online.

The clip depicts several residents with their hands and꧅ legs bound, as they spin around uncontrollably.

One local, known as Marisella, is trying to help her neighbors fight the illness with homemade remedies, which she believes have the po𒅌wer to cure the bizarre syndrome.

She mixes medicinesღ, which are then poured on the sufferers’ backs in the hopes of warding off the evil spirits ꦓfor good.

After spending a great deal of time investigating potential causes of the violent “possessions”, Mariella said she believes a small voodoo dol♔l is to blame.

As locals were searching high and low for clues, a doll was found stuffed in a bag with crosses ꦐon its face, which is seen as a presence of dark spirits.

Mariella thinks the doll was cursed by an ou🍎tsider who wants👍 to harm the community.

She expla𓂃ined: “A doll with black ribbon and a cros🙈s marked on its face [has been found in a street].

“It suggests that it’s affect𝓀ed by dark spells and bad influences. A type of bad spirit.”

The villag✅ers set the doll on fire in a bid to break the cur𝔉se.
