Were ‘Demons’ Responsible For 80 Suicides In Indian Village? Investigators Reveal Shocking Information About Mass Suicides In The Village Of Badi
Throughout the year in the village of Badi in the Khargone district, 80 people committed suicide, causing residents to believe “demons” were haunting them. Investigators revealed shocking information about the mass suicides in the village of Badi. Are demons the culprit of this increase in suicides?
Paranormal News reports that 320 families in the small village experienced at least one suicide within their family. The village chief, Rajendra Sisodiya, said his mother and brother committed suicide, as well as his cousin, who hung himself in front of his home.
“This is a very grave situation and we need to act fast. The villagers lack confidence and motivation and it’s very important to counsel them.”
Although Sisodiya and other village residents believe that a demonic presence is the cause of the mass suicides, scientists determined the increase in suicides were caused by pesticides.
The village uses pesticides on cotton crops, and the chemicals are likely to cause conditions such as schizophrenia and depression.
Scientists further reported that when farmers in China were using pesticides a couple years ago, they, too, experienced an increase in suicides. A study was performed to confirm that pesticides are, in fact, linked to depression.
According to RT, during an interview with the Times of India, Dr. Srikanth Reddy, a psychiatrist, said that the villagers do not relate to depression and otherwise associate the problem with a demonic presence.
The villagers tried banning alcohol, thinking maybe that was the cause of the suicide problem. However, this simply caused the residents to visit other neighboring villages to get alcohol.
The youngest villager to attempt suicide was only 11-years-old, forcing the community to declare a state of emergency last month.
As mentioned above, China experienced a similar experience a couple years ago when farmers began committing suicide. The suicides were linked to exposure to the harmful pesticides, which caused depression and sometimes even schizophrenia.
Toxipedia states that 250,000 suicide deaths worldwide were a result of pesticide poisoning. Within the last decade, up to 90 percent of suicides in Malaysia, Sri Lanka, and China were caused by pesticide ingestion, particularly Trinidad.
Antiochian reveals that before the time of Christ, mental illnesses were considered demonic, not physical. It was insisted that the symptoms were caused by demons.
Unexplained Stuff says that studies of psychical researchers and clergy reveal certain aspects of demonic possessions.
The possessed may become antisocial and will begin hearing voices. They begin to see a demonic spirit, and eventually, the possessed will black-out consciousness and carry on in a trance-like state.
Others will notice the possessed speaking and walking in a strange manner and doing odd things that the person has never done before. Eventually, the possessed may commit violent crimes, murder, or even suicide.
Professionals in the healthcare industry do compare demonic possessions with mental health illnesses.
A psychotherapist, Dr. Adam Crabtree, stated that entities that seek a person’s body and mind are because they have “unfinished business on Earth.” Crabtree also mentioned that he has had patients come to him complaining that they feel a presence within then. These patients are typically very emotionally disturbed and have often shown different characteristics, unlike their own.
What do you think is the reason behind this Indian village’s mass-suicide problem? Of course, the more likely reason behind the case would be the scientific evidence pointing at pesticide ingestion. However, it is certainly possible that a demon or demons are haunting the tiny Indian village, eventually causing those possessed to commit suicide.
