Parents say a Muslim imam has been casting out “spirits” in their schoolgirls, according to several reports.
“It can not be controlled, they stiffness in the limbs stiffen, they scream, yell,” said the principal, Gervais Fontaine, according to a translation. The incidents occurred at Jean Lafosse College in France, and number nearly two dozen.
“These are phenomena that we know very well in Mayotte,” Muslim exorcist Raqya tells IP Reunion.
“We often see spirits come on people, but it’s always in specific locations, in a temple for example, but not outside. Here it’s not normal,” one mother said.
In the video, a woman dressed head to toe in a burka can be seen trying to attack the imam.
School officials seem to believe imams are their only hope, as emergency services told them there was no way to help.
