Over 100 women employees of an artificial eyelid maker in the West Java town of Garut went into a trance on Wednesday, forcing the management to put production process to a halt.
The rare incident took place just after the workers of PT Surya Garut Indah were about to resume activities after a lunch break. Quoting a security guard, Antara reported that the mass trance started from a worker and quickly spread to others.
“They became enraged with their eyes turning red, while screaming and uttering unclear words,” security guard Nurodin said.
It took a spiritual healer over one hour to help the workers regain their consciousness, Nurodin added. The management then asked all the workers to go home to prevent the incident from recurring.
The spiritual healer, Junaedi, said a number of workers had resisted his attempt to cure them. Some of them spitted on him, he added.
He said he remained in the dark about the cause of the mass trance.
