TEPOTZLAN, Mexico - The girl who shocked the world last week after she was videoed being 'possessed' after using a Ouija board was trying to contact her dead parents and had taken a shamanic drug used in Mexico to contact the 'spirit world', MailOnline reveals.

16-year-old orphan Alexandra Huerta, who appeared possessed by evil spirits in a video taken by paramedics as she was taken to hospital had taken Brugmansia, a poisonous plant which grows in tropical regions of Latin America.

The drug is also known as Angel’s Trumpet for its large poisonous flowers, and induces dark hallucinations, confusion, muscle paralysis and can lead to death in large doses.

Brugmansia can induce temporary insanity, especially in those who are not yet fully grown.

'She started convulsing and screaming of terrible visions', said Maria Camaño, 48, her guardian in the house where the trio tried to make contact with the dead on Sunday June 22.

'We tried to pray for them and to get them to pray as well, but it only made the demons who had taken control of her angrier', she said in an interview with the MailOnline in the house near the village of Tepotzlan where the disturbing episode took place.

Maria gave a terrifying account of the effects the Ouija board and 'bell flower' drug, as it is known in Latin America, had on Alexandra and her brother and cousin. They still firmly believe that she was in fact possessed.
