Let’s go to hell

This video was made close to a cemetery wall, in a suburban area of Sao Paulo. The producers says it was not staged. Decide for yourself. “Come to hell with me!”

(Thanks Bruno)

The stone curse

Around 70 percent Brazilians are catholics, but there are some important minority religions in the country. There’s also a Jewish minority, few Muslims, protestants of various denominations and Black African cults (namely Umbanda, Quimbanda and Candomble). This video shows a (fake) session of Candomble exorcism in which the priest is trying to save his client from the Stone Curse (whatever it really mean).
