Still Waters Posted March 19, 2021 #1 Share Posted March 19, 2021 A teenager in Ghana nearly lost his finger after he put on a friend's purportedly magical ring and then found that the cursed object would not come off. According to a local media report, the strange case began last Friday in the community of Kasoa when Emmanuel Otabil was playing video games with a couple of companions and spotted the intriguing jewelry on a table. For reasons he can't explain, the young man immediately felt compelled to put the tempting piece on his finger. Alas, unbeknownst to him, the object was what is known in Ghana as a 'sakawa' ring in that it was made for "spiritual practices" and, as such, allegedly possessed some kind of supernatural characteristics. https://www.coasttocoastam.com/article/teen-in-ghana-stricken-by-magical-ring/ https://www.adomonline.com/teenager-who-wore-sakawa-ring-breaks-silence/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With out a lot of depth in the story let's have the Papameter ring in: Papameter Reading Paranormal 65% Normal 35% 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People get rings stuck and panic i knew a girl that by the time she got to the ER her finger was all swollen and purple and the ring appeared embedded into her finger. They cut it off no problem and no spookies involved. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonman Posted March 20, 2021 #6 Share Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) This is about as dumb as a "paranormal" claim can get. Oh noes, cursed ring won't come off! It's the work of the devil! Jesus. Put some olive oil on your fat finger and shut up already. Edited March 20, 2021 by moonman 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, nikki wasnt gullible, naive enough to claim a tight ring was the work of the paranormal and just because something makes the news doesnt make it fact, real or even news worthy. Whats more likely people stick a ring on their finger that is too tight or some paranormal force haunting rings makes them tight. Papa reply = fail. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the13bats Posted March 20, 2021 #8 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Okay funny story, In highscool my buddy rosetti takes my metal high level toy handcuffs home and clicks it down too tight ( no spookies involved ) he gets panicky goes to cut them with a hacksaw and it clicks tighter, he freaks out calls 911 i get to his house as paramedics are cutting the hand cuffs off, hilarious, again no spookies involved.

TashaMarie Posted March 24, 2021 #9 Share Posted March 24, 2021 So he stole the ring, damaged the ring and will now get away with it by claiming it was the fault of the curse? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
