The Curse of the Magaia ghosts

MOÇAMBIQUE, Angola Press — At Maputo, capital of the country, in the Secondary School Quisse Mavota is happening a strange phenomenon: an epidemic of fainting of students. All the victims are girls. Only in a week were more than twenty faintings. Rumors speak of ghosts. The school was built upon cemetery for a family aristocratic of a clan of the region.

They were the Magaia. But a ritual asking permission to the dead was not performed. The school was built in 2006. Just at this epoch, there was an outbreak of faintings during the months of June and July. Now, the incident is happening again. Nobody knows exactly what is waking the spirits.

Julieta Bata, 17 years old, one of the girls that fainted tells what happened to her: she was in the classroom when she heard a noise, like someone screaming and saying things. Then, she felt herself a little sick and left the classroom. First, felt shortness of breath and after it was like someone was pulling her legs. She lost consciousness and she does not remember anything else.

Psychologists and psychiatrists think that the explanation for the faintings is a collective hysteria the sociologists don't found no reason that could have triggered such a phenomenon of this nature. However, the Association of Traditional Doctors of Mozambique has no doubt that the problem is a curse. The spokesman of that institution said that all that is happening is due to a "claim of the spirits" and the blame is of the authorities who that ignore the traditions: "We must respect the places where we know there were bones. We are Africans, we have other logical".

To cancel the curse, a traditional doctor will have to make the purification of the school: For now they are just suffering faints, but the girls may start to die.

The Mysteries of Pedra Pintada

RORAIMA — In the state of Roraima, at the northwest of Brazil, near the border with Venezuela, the existence of pictures and inscriptions made on ancient rocks arouse the mystery on the more remote past, of this region of the globe.

The lithographs, are found over an area of 600 square meters and represent human figures in profile to the Egyptian style, horses, cars with wheels and a system of write that appears to be a unknown alphabet.

Similar inscriptions exist at a place named Pedra de Itamaracá at a region called Xingu, north of Mato Grosso state. This stone of the Xingu is visible only during the dry season when river waters level declines.

The same phenomenon occurs at Negro river, where the low water reveals the secrets of the hidden stones that pass the major part of the time far from the human eyes. These stones has paints and gravings depict men, animals, circles and another signals that resemble to semitic alphabets.

These archaeological findings are completely incompatible with the culture of indians that the settlers found in the New World of sixteenth century. This reinforces the theory that the peoples of antiquity, adventurers from the east, reached the shores of Latin America long before the Mariners-era Great Navigations.
