A
65-year-old Indian man, Andhra Pradesh, died in a movie theatre last week while
watching a screening of The Conjuring 2. The incident occurred at the Sri
Balasubramaniar Cinema in Tiruvannamalai, a town in the Indian state of Tamil
Nadu.
Pradesh, had
complained of chest pains while watching the film, and fainted shortly
afterwards.
He was
rushed to a nearby Old Government Hospital, where doctors pronounced him dead.
Medics ordered his body to be sent to the Tiruvannamalai Government Medical
College Hospital for post-mortem but, according to the Times of India, his
body, and the person charged with taking the body there, have both gone
missing.
While there
are no doubt rational explanations for both the man’s death and the
disappearance of his body, the story has fuelled a wave of supernatural panic
on social media that has accompanied the film’s release.
A video
purporting to show a woman who ”got possessed while watching The Conjuring 2”
has been viewed close to five million times since being uploaded to Facebook
last week, with many viral news sites in South East Asia reporting the
“possession” as fact. However, the video in question is thought to have been
filmed in 2013, long before the release of film.
