Man Admits Killing Voodoo High Priest
http://www.channel4000.com/sh/news/wisconsin/stories/news-wisconsin-175404520021101-091100.html
A Minnesota man admitted to five year old murder of a voodoo-cult high priest. Reportedly, the high priest told the man
to kill him, to complete a ritual. The killer, and the high priest, believed that the high priests spirit would go into the
man, giving him the high priest’s knowledge, as well as the knowledge and power of those that came before the high priest.
It does not say if the high priest also gained his powers this way.

Lead by a man who claims to be possessed, the Lords Resistance Army is Uganda’s largest rebel group, which wants to establish
law based on the Ten Commandments. The LRA is blaimed for the current famine in Uganda, and could be conducting more
horrifying atrocities. The LRA abducts children, using them as soldiers and sex-slaves. They have taken to mutiliating
their enemies. And now, allegations of cannibalism have arisen, after the LRA forced funeral goers to eat the corpse of the
desceased. Truely bizarre and sickening.

were shape-shifters.
