Mystery: Caribbean village where genetic disorder turns girls into boys at puberty

Girls in an isolated Caribbean village become male and grow penises when they hit puberty due to a rare genetic disorder.

It is estimated that one in 90 children born in Salinas in the Dominican Republic make the transition by the time they reach 12.

It is so prevalent there that it is no longer considered abnormal and the children are simply referred to as the ‘guevedoces’ – which literally translates as ‘penis at 12’

The children, known as pseudohermaphrodite, are explored in BBC2 series Countdown to Life – the Extraordinary Making of You.

Our Mother Not A Witch ––Sons of Bird Turn Woman Come Out

Children of the unidentified elderly woman who was almost lynched by a mob in the Ajegunle area of Lagos after being accused of witchcraft – have identified the victim as their mother. The two men said their mum was not a witch, but that she is a victim of nature [old age] and had been missing from home.

“This morning (Thursday), two men came to the command claiming that they were the sons of the woman. The men said their mother was not a witch and were very angry with the manner the rumour was spreading. 

“They said they were shocked that youths could attack an old woman in her 80s and they were even asking for justice because the woman sustained bruises on her head.”

The men, who said they lived in Iju Ishaga area of Lagos were said to have been puzzled as to how their mother walked all the way to Ajegunle, said a policeman at the Area B Command.

According to reports, while being beaten, the woman confessed that she was a witch and had flown to Ibadan, Oyo State for a meeting but got tired on returning from Lagos and fell from the sky.

The woman was rescued by police and taken to the Area B Command. However, sources at the command told Punch that the sons came to the command after seeing their mother’s pictures in the newspapers.

The source said the two men explained that their mother had wandered off some days ago and they had been looking for her. The sons had also provide evidence that the woman was indeed their mother.

“Yes she has been released to her son. The family said due to her old age, she was very ill and was brought from Ibadan to Lagos to stay with one of her sons. The woman’s daughter-in-law said she went to buy drugs for her nearby, but by the time she returned home, the woman had left the house,” said Lagos Police PRO.

Bird turns to old woman in Lagos

 

Residents of Ajegunle area of Lagos were, yesterday, thrown into shock, after a bird was said to have transformed into an old woman who confessed to being a witch.The dark-complexioned nonagenarian with tribal marks, who spoke in Yoruba, told a bewildered crowd that she was on her way back to Ibadan, Oyo State (as a bird) when she missed her track.

She was also said to have told the mammoth crowd that her mystical powers disappointed her because it was dawn.

 

Eye-witnesses told Vanguard that three black birds were seen at about 7am, flying side‑by‑side along Old Ojo Road.

Then, all of a sudden, one of them landed on a moving pick‑up van owned by Eko Electricity Distribution Company.

An eye witness who identified himself simply as Mr Okafor said: “Immediately the bird landed on the van, it transformed into an old woman.

“Everyone ran away at first but we later gathered round the woman only to discover that she had a bruise on her forehead with which she landed.

 

“When we asked her what her mission was, she said three of them were sent to Lagos from their coven in Ibadan but that on their way back, they missed their way.

“She said they started hovering in the area until it was morning, adding that she fell because she was tired.

“She also told us that she initially did not want to embark on the journey and that she used to restrict her witchcraft activities to Ibadan because of her age.

“She was thereafter taken to the Baale of Ajeromi, where she confessed to have killed her husband through witchcraft.”

Policemen from Layeni Police Division were said to have been contacted to prevent the woman from being lynched and they came and took her away.

Police sources told Vanguard that the woman would be released to any of her relations who shows up, explaining that the law does not recognise witchcraft.

“She has not committed any crime and will, therefore, be released to any member of her family who shows up. We did not arrest her. We only prevented a likely jungle justice,” the police source said.

MYSTERY: Diary of A Blog Reader, Help My Life Is In Danger!!!

Last month I got this anonymous mail from a guy, all my effort to know his name to no avail....he narrated the story and I was like, what? Please if you are not bold enough, DON'T READ....

If you miss the previous story read it HERE NOW BEFORE YOU CONTNUE Today, the story came in again.....read and pls drop your comments...

I promised to tell you my story even if I don't make it out alive. I haven't been in the right state of mind and that's why I am writing this late.
The lady I saw through my rear view mirror was of about 5'9 in height, long sexy legs, long dark and well groomed hair. Whatever decision I made in regards to if to pick her up or not was too late to change now because by the time I pulled up beside her, I saw what her face looked like. No man wouldn't fall for those light brown eyes. She had no make up on whatsoever and I could have sworn she was a little pale on the face.

She wore a dark smile. That SOS kind of smile you wouldn't be able to resist even if you had no nasty intentions towards a woman. "Hey are you in any kind of trouble" was the first statement out of my mouth. It was rather strange for a woman in a short, white nightgown like dress to be on the street at close to 3:15 am. All she did was smiled some more and said "Oh no, no darling I live just around the corner, I was bored and decided to step out and take a walk". I had an erection on hearing her voice, coupled with the fact that the dress was slightly see through and I could see her nipple poking out.

Of course I wasn't in my right senses anymore, my erection was speaking for me, because I looked around and saw no houses within the visible radius. "You wanna take a ride, I'm also not in any bit sleepy tonight".. "Oh I will if you promise I won't get in any trouble" she winked.
I wouldn't associate class with a girl that jumped in a stranger's car at 3:20am, but she damn looked sophisticated. Although her perfume smelled good, but it felt weird cos It felt like something my grandmother would wear. I wasn't thinking, I was stealing glances at her bare laps.

"Hey where do you wanna go, all the bars and clubs are pretty much closed by now".. She smiled, this time radiantly. She could also have added a little chuckling sound but yeah who cares. "Anywhere, I don't plan on going back home this early either".. I figured she was down. I drove her home.

That would happen to be one of the biggest mistake I've made yet. I could have gone to a hotel or do whatever I wanted with her in my...........holy crap, she is here.... I have to go.. the doors are shaking again. I promise if I survive this attack I wjxbuod kshybkk.nk djyxhznuxbxnyhslxnhdkmdkd x

Now that's where he ended the story, what do you think? Please who can tell me d meaning of those last words?

The Undead!!!

Well, i got this email yesterday and i think sharing it with you guys won't be a bad idea.....i posted this yesterday, twas deleted...hhhmmmm, enemies......
Unlike most people, I prefer to do most of my thinking and pondering in the darkness of my room. Most nights my thoughts are too much to handle, and I seek refuge in talking a friend or two. I’ve met many people via social networks and because I have no life I’m almost always meeting new people to talk to. College starts in six months so until then I’m stuck at home. Just like every other night, I had no plans and wasn’t able to fall asleep, so i got up and checked my computer.
Seeing who was online, I invited Dana, a friend I've found a little bit of midnight comfort for a chat. We exchanged our normal small talks of hey & hi's. She was going to a soccer game(hmm weird right?) and said she wasn't able to reply as fast as I  needed her to,at least to bring me out of my boredom. I logged off and picked up the remote to the TV when my phone beeped with a message.
Looking at it I thought about the fact that I never receive picture messages from anyone but my girlfriend. and that bought more than just my attention it added curiosity too.
   The text was marked urgent and was from Dana. Surprisingly I didn’t think anything strange as I stood there staring at a girl who appeared to be the living dead. I was however crept out when I read the caption beneath the picture.
(Which says...
"Now that you’ve started to read this you cannot stop.
I was killed by my boyfriend in 1985 because I refused
to have sex with him. I rose from the dead, hacked off his balls,
and hung him leaving him to bleed to death. The first guy to get
this message was name Jake Alston. He got this message deleted it,
and went to bed. He slept peacefully that night but woke up staring
me in the eye. I hacked his balls and hung him upside down like a
slaughtered animal dripping blood. I then made my way through the house
and killed his parents for being witnesses to their son’s murder.
Delete this message if you want to suffer the same fate.

If you want
protection you must send this to twenty other people and spread word
of my story. Everyone must know I’m “THE UNDEAD”.

We played all sorts of pranks in high school and many type that falls in resemblance with this one. I just thought “well why should I be bothered?”(If you were me,you would think likewise) I joked about it with Dana and deleted( Damn! Bad move). It was 2:30 am and I finally fell asleep. It was a very peaceful and blissful sleep, no dreams, no sleep-talking, but I kept waking up to the thoughts of my girlfriend. I’m in love with her and that is all I can tell you now. At least, that is all she wants me to tell you now. By her, I meant the girl in the picture. Yes, the undead girl found me, I don't know how. I woke up before dawn after I felt a warm breeze brush slowly past my face. I wouldn’t have thought twice about the draft in my house except both the air conditioner and fan were turned off. I turned on the reading light, and the warm breeze moved quickly around me raising the sheets beneath me. I stated feeling uneasy as I sat up. I thought to myself “I’m an adult, ghost stories aren't real”, so I turned the light off and lay back down. It was drawing close to 5:00 am. I intended to go back to sleep, but as soon as the lights were off I felt the movement again. This time it was a lot sharper and warmer than the first and it brushed past the side of my face carrying with it a sound, like a whisper.

I can't say for sure what it said due to the loudness of my heartbeat in my ears. I knew at that moment that something was in my room,something strange,something dark. That something was ........UNDEAD!

MYSTERY: MY LIFE IS IN DANGER!!!

 

You know those ghost stories your grandparents told you as a kid? I'm afraid they are real. I will not bore you with formalities and go straight to the point, as I am typing this,  my life is in danger. I am on the run. I've been on the run for about five weeks now and honestly I don't know how much longer I have.

   Here is the deal, I love women, but then what twenty five year old doesn't. I am not in a bit religious, not that I have never been but i'm well to do enough not to care.

     Late Saturday night, went to a bar somewhere on the Island with friends, dropped them all off at their different houses and by the time i was headed back to Ikeja, it was 2:55am. I wouldn't say I was drunk but that's what I thought when I saw this "lady" through my rear view mirror. "Lady" right?

       2:55am, mystery lady in a short white dress was all I could see. I was curious, stopped my vehicle, popped the gear on reverse with my heart slightly thumping, damn it is 2:59am.
    Forces against me telling my story, they can and they will get me, but not until I expose them. Not until I tell it all to you......(Continue tomorrow).
