   Feline spirits force Orissa school to close
   Dolagobind, Orissa | August 05, 2004 7:58:00 PM IST
   
   In a bizarre incident, a girl's school here has been closed after its students started behaving abnormally.
   
   Teachers claim that at least a dozen girls have taken ill under mysterious circumstances in the past two weeks, all fainting without a cause, only to wake up and start behaving like cats.
   
   Dolagobind, a remote hamlet in Orissa, has since been affected by so many incidents that necromancers have been called in to remove these so called evil spirits.
   
   According to the teachers, all the affected girls are aged between eight to twelve. They were seen clawing their own faces and shrieking like felines. Some even fainted, leaving the management with no option but to shut the school.
   
   "First three girls fell down when they came to school. We thought they hadn't had food so we gave them something to eat but after that also they were not normal and behaved strangely," said school headmistress Manjubala Pande.
   
   "Next day again some six-seven girls started crying, fell down on the floor making sounds like that of a cat. We immediately informed others in the village but after the faintings and behaviour repeated, we were forced to shut the school," he added.
   
   The children have been shifted to an ashram or hermitage run by a local sage where they are being made to recite Vedic mantras and fire rituals are being performed to drive the spirits away.
   
   Parents say the girls have shown some improvement but are unable to recall exactly what went wrong with them. (ANI)

   Another example that the truth can be stranger than fiction.
   
   This could make for an interesting game idea, all the girls in an all girl school actually start turning into felines, slowly. The PC's have find out who is behind it.
   
   :arrow: Evil spirits have cursed the school for a former headmasters cruelty to their sacred animal, the cat
   
   :arrow: The school is a religious school that was built on top of the ruins of a temple to Bast, the god of cats, and Bast isnt so keen having all these schoolgirls saying their prayers to their god on top of her holy ground. PCs have to intervene
   
   :arrow: A deranged wizard has been experimenting with a mass polymorphing spell, and has to be convinced to stop this experimentation. The wizard has a strangely large number of housecats in his tower/laboratory
   
   :arrow: A one spell wonder has either learned how to cast one spell, polymorph to cat, or has gained a minor magical item that has the same effect. The girl in the school has taken her new talent, or magic wand and has been 'zapping' all of the girls she doest like with it. I might post this as an item.
