Village plagued by killer ghosts

Village plagued by killer ghosts June 4, 2003

A VILLAGE in Thailand's northeast has hired a ghostbuster to exorcise a gang of ghosts believed responsible for the deaths of more than 10 people in the past month, a report here said.

Residents of Kudkwang village in Khon Kaen province have spent 30,000 baht ($1,088) on hiring the ghostbuster to rid themselves of 15 ghosts, the Nation newspaper reported.

Village headman Bunchoo Khamthun told the English-language daily that over the past month alone more than 10 villagers had died, with autopsies revealing most had died following internal bleeding from unknown causes.

Three ritual ceremonies have already successfully exorcised nine of the ghosts, the report said, adding that the villagers believed one of the remaining ghosts has possessed a 48-year-old woman.

"I told my daughter not to be afraid of the ritual ceremony," the woman's mother was quoted as saying. "But if any other residents try to physically assault her, I'll immediately file a complaint with police.

"We live not so far from the city. People are educated, but still obsessed about black magic."

I agree. Could it be Ebola?

The Hillary virus. People will get headaches, nausea, and within 24 hours they will look just like her, prompting a rash of marital infidelity.

The prairie dogs don't have henta: they have African monkeypox, which has been traced to an exotic pet distributor in the midwest, who had imported a Giant Gambia Rat ( Lord knows why !! ) from Africa. The big rodents are sometimes carriers of the pox, and this one was infected.

Symptoms are quite similar to smallpox ( and smallpox vaccination does protect against it ).Mortality rate is 1-10% - compared to the 30-40% rate of smallpox.

Nonetheless,the lesson is clear: trading in or keeping exotic pets opens the doors to all manner of nasty possibilities !

Either that, or some local has come up with a delicious recipe containing Decon.

Monkey Pox, as West Nile Virus, will be played down. No way this is a natural occurance of a prairie dog getting infected... yes the distributor brought in exotic animals, but this is just another hole in what is wrong with our "National Security". Who would have thought this would happen so easily? Especially when John Doe citizen must quarentine ANY animal brought into this country? This is only the beginning... Stay well!
