Rain of Stones
by May
I do not know the date when this happened nor the year. This incident was related to me by my father. I estimate this happened between 1940-1950. This happened in Goa, now a part of India, formally ruled by the Portuguese. In the village (situated in the midst of two mountains) where the young folk were having a party one late evening, suddenly stones began to rain down on them. At first they thought they were being attacked by the local young folk of a neighboring village. So the "spiritually fortified" brave lads (they were in the midst of a party) clambered up the hill to find out who was throwing the stones.When the reached the top the stones kept coming at them, but they never caught or saw any one. They ventured into the next village and found it asleep.
The stones stopped. They never found the culprit. The young boys came back and found that a young boy in the house contracted fever during this period, which only left him when the stones stopped falling. The same thing happened the next day, while they were gathered in the same house. Stones kept raining down on the house and the SAME boy contracted high fever. The fever left him only when the stones stopped falling. This time the lads were too scared to venture into the hills. This incident never happened again. No one ever found out what the cause was.
