But I’ve never let that stop me before!
A four-month-old baby is dead and 10 other people are injured in the small town of La Verriere, west of Paris, France after they jumped out of their apartment’s third-storey window after believing to have seen the devil.
“Thirteen people were in an apartment (watching TV) on the second floor when, at around 3 a.m., one of the occupants heard his child crying,” Odile Faivre, the deputy prosecutor in Versailles told Sky News. “The man in question, of African origin, who was completely naked, got up to feed his child, at which point the other occupants took him for the devil.”
The man, 30, was stabbed in the hand and thrown out of the apartment. When he tried to barge back into the flat, the other occupants began jumping out of the window.
Police are questioning the man as well as another occupant who jumped out the window holding a two-year-old girl. The baby died after being admitted to a children’s hospital. It is unclear whether the occupants voluntarily jumped or were forced to.
But don’t worry. You can rest easy:
The Sydney Morning Herald also reports that investigators found no evidence of hallucinogenic substances in the apartment.
My initial thought was thought they had a bootleg copy of Paranormal Activity 2, but alas it was just a demonic naked black man. We’ve all been there.
