Extraordinary claims. Ordinary investigations.

Baby announces that Jesus is coming

A bizarre story is circulating in the Internet among Brazilians:

“In a public hospital of Itaguai, Rio de Janeiro, on this weekend a baby girl was born with the hands glued together, as if she was praying. The doctors told the parent that they would operate the hands of the girl on a very simple surgery. It was simple indeed, because as it seems the hands were only joined by some skin.

But when they opened the hands of that baby… you won’t believe what was written on them… “JESUS IS COMING!”

The doctors started to cry and soon everyone in the hospital too. The city of Itaguai is abuzz with it. People who distanced themselves from church are coming back and others are accepting Jesus as their savior. God brought that child to the world only to send that message, as some hours later she died.

Forward this message to most people you can”

The local hospital already denied the rumor (in Portuguese), which is clearly just religious propaganda with a classical chain letter sign. It’s not even that new. For a few years already, a popular Brazilian folk music group “Calypso” is also being cursed by a rumor that circulates on almost every city they plan to perform on.

The story tells that a baby with three eyes was born on a local hospital. When the doctor says how ugly he is, the recently born baby then quickly and clearly replies: “Ugly will be what will happen on the Calypso show“.

Some shows had to be canceled, mainly on small cities where those rumors devastates the chances of anyone attending the event.

Strange prophetic babies announcing the second coming of Christ sounds like the plot of a B-rated sci-fi movie. Or maybe, if its the “other” Christ in the mail, a B-rated horror movie. Whatever your religious inclination, you can’t argue that any movie based on this subject wouldn’t draw a crowd.

    my name is gavin kelleher, im 13 years old and am an acknowledged , but not fully devoted, christian. the question is not whether this incident took place , the question is why has it taken this to cause members of nation wide societies return to church. if this child had not been born there would be less people in church today. and if it was a rumour, the morale is still the same , i have often hoped for the return of such a religous figure as jesus to prove to those people foolish enough to need proof that there is but one god, and his name is god, father of the rumoured to return jesus. contact me on thetruebadlad@hotmail.co.uk

    If anything I can say this cab is rare
    But I thought ‘Now forget it’ - ‘Yo homes to Bel Air’

    I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
    And I yelled to the cabbie ‘Yo homes smell ya later’
    I looked at my kingdom
    I was finally there
    To settle my throne as the Prince of Bel Air
