Media reports of demon possession killing two teens at a youth camp have been rubbished by organizers and attendees of a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints camp.The Organiser of “For the Strength of Youth” camp, Vi’iga Fuimaono, said nothing like that happened. He said it was “unbelievable” that people are suggesting children were being possessed after attending the camp, held at the L.D.S gymnasium in Pesega.Contacted by phone, he said it was a case of the “kids being too tired and when they were supposed to be sleeping, weren’t sleeping”.“All our kids are okay.” He confirmed that those who did fall ill at the conference also suffered from headaches but “it was nothing like being possessed.” He said two doctors were present during the incident.Fuimaono also rejected a claim from some who blamed the outbreak of fever on unclean air conditioning causing Pontiac fever, a mild form of Legionnaire’s disease. According to health sites overseas, symptoms include fever, shivers, headache, muscle aches, tiredness and a dry cough, according to one public health website. In some cases, high fever can lead to hallucinations, mistaken by some for ‘demonic possession.’Asked further questions, however, Fuimaono suggested this article not be printed. “My suggestion is, and it’s what I want, let people say what they want to say but I don’t want anything written in the paper about whether it was possession or that it was disputed.”He added, “it is not about what you want, you come to us for stories and I don’t want anything put on the news about it”.His desire for the story to not go further however had already been overtaken by earlier media reports and social networks. Some said two of the ‘possessed’ youth had died. A woman closely connected to organising the conference said that none of those who fell ill had died, as rumoured. “No one has passed away, everyone is alive and well.”She also said that the kids are “back to normal and are at home going to school and whatever they do at home”.She asked not to be quoted since it was not her role to speak to the media. One youth camp attendee publicly spoke out on a social network, confirming that she was one of those that attended the conference. She was also “one of the girls that got affected and I passed out due to my high fever and I can assure you I was not mai aiku/possessed or any of those rumours”.“What happened to the girls on Thursday night is called ‘Pontiac fever’,” she wrote on Facebook.She encouraged readers to look up the term themselves, but did not respond to requests to confirm her comments. Her advice though was that, “Before looking to the supernatural reasons we need to look first at the natural reasons.” She claims that it made sense that it was only girls that were affected because “it was only the girls that stayed in the air con rooms”.
