Black magic and evil spirits have captured the
soul of a new-born baby in Colombia who can
apparently already walk by himself and
produce fire, his own mother has claimed.
Ana Feria Santos gave birth to her son last month
but says her joy quickly turned to fear when she
noticed that he had ‘several abnormalities’ –
leading to fears in her community that he is the
‘devil in disguise’.
She says the boy can already stand up and walk –
quite a feat for a child of just four weeks.
Much like the 1976 horror film The Omen, the
mother-of-five says he frequently hides around
the house, cackles in an ‘adult’ way for hours on
end and has an ‘intimidating’ pair of eyes.
She told the RCN Radio station: ‘He walks like an
adult, sometimes going off and hiding
underneath the bed, in a suitcase, in the washing
machine or in the fridge.’
Her neighbours in the town of Lorica, near the
Caribbean coast, also say he is possessed by a
‘malign spirit’ and that he is capable of producing
fire.
This, they say, is because burn marks have been
found on his clothes and a sofa where he
regularly sits.
It has led to vigilante attacks on Santos and her
taxi-driver husband Óscar Palencia López’s
house, which is allegedly being pelted with
stones on a nightly-basis by frightened residents.
But the 28-year-old’s story has not been believed
by doctors, who have now launched an
investigation into the possibility that the new-
born could have been abused.
The Colombian Family Welfare Institute, the
National Police and the Catholic Church have also
all refused to assert the claims that black magic is
involved.
A team of psychologists, a social worker, a
nutritionist and a lawyer will now look into the
case, with a source saying: ‘The child shows signs
of abuse.
‘Two small burns were found on the palm of the
left hand and for that reason a restoration
measure was adopted to [safeguard] the family
environment.
‘The parents received a warning while the facts
are being clarified.’
