Girl Who Cries Stones Instead Of Tears

A little girl has baffled doctors by crying stones instead of
tears.
The Yemeni girl, 12, produces little hard stones under her
eyelids.
Doctors said they still could not give an explanation for
such a phenomenon since the girl, Saadiya Saleh, is not
suffering from any known disease.
Unfortunately this triggered a panic in rural areas where
they assumed the girl must be possessed by magic.
A YouTube film aired by Yemen's Azal satellite TV
channel showed doctors gathered a small box full of stones
that dropped out of the girl's eyes in just a few hours.
The local presenter said: "This case in the second strange
phenomenon in the region."
"The case has triggered panic in the area where this girl
lives… Some say the girl could be gripped by a magic
spell while others say it might be the devil… Others fear it
could be the start of a dangerous epidemic."
