Used as a way to communicate with the 'other side', the infamous board seemingly had an adverse effect on the students.
Back in November 2022 we reported that teachers at the Agricultural Technical Institute in Hato, Colombia had found 11 children collapsed in a corridor after an ill-fated Ouija board session.

Now something very similar seems to have happened again - this time involving 28 school girls who ended up being hospitalized after allegedly attempting to use a Ouija board to communicate with spirits.

The incident, which occurred at the Galeras Educational Institution in Colombia, saw the girls taken to a local municipal hospital after some of them fainted and others showed signs of anxiety.
"There were 28 possible cases of anxiety in school students," said school principal Hugo Torres.

The girls' parents have since been attempting to get to the bottom of the situation.

"I work here in a hospital kiosk and every day I see three or four children arrive after fainting," said one mother. "Parents, you have to move, investigate what's happening at school, because our children cannot continue in this situation."
