Villagers become victims of evil spirits.

Going a day long trip from Colombo you find "Moneragala" a district in Sri Lanka which has been considered as one of the poorest districts in the developing island. Once you leave the town area suddenly the rural areas open up and the population too decreases significantly. This story I bring out today happened ( still not over though ) in the area called "Kambukkana", situated in the above mentioned "Moneragala" district. 

Locals in this remote area are believers of ghosts, dead souls, evil-creatures due to their long survived traditional believes. As one of the locals says one man has died recently and the "kattadiya" ( man who deals with demons) has done a trick and then the dead man has become an evil spirit. So this spirit has taken more than fifteen villagers ( Mainly women) in to it's control so the affected people always ask for blood, screaming frequently and etc. The whole Village has become a Kingdom of horror, but still their only hope the "Kattadiya" has failed to sent off the spirit from the village. 

Recently few doctors has traveled to this area and had given some medicine to the affected villagers. One man responded to the doctor's reaction saying "How can a drug sent off an evil spirit? So we didn't use the drug. Instead we threw them out." 

"Daya" was a very pleasant female person in this area who couldn't avoid the evil power. Every now and then she sweats and begins to scream in a loud voice that's very different to her own voice and asks for blood and flesh. Four well grown men are there to control her as she has gained some enormous power. 

This is the perspective of the locals and don't come to a conclusion yet. "D.V.J.Harischandra , One of the prominent doctors in the island describes this whole drama as "Hysteria". As he points out there is no use of spending time and money for those Kattadiyas, they could have simple gone to a doctor and get quick treatments freely from a government hospital. 

I brought this story not just say you about Kattadiyas. In all parts of the world despite of their economic status  people tempt to believe in these Evil spirits mostly due to some of the experiences they face in their lives. At the first look, they might appear as some thing super-natural. But if you think little bit more then you'd see the truth.
