Chilean villagers claim they are having erotic nightmares because
their homes are built on an old cemetery.
Residents of Lautaro are calling on exorcists to help them.
They say demons possess them when they are asleep and cause them
to have strange erotic dreams.
They blame the phenomenon on the fact their district was built
on the site of an old graveyard.
One woman, Olga Venegas, says she has been gripped by the nightmares
for more than eight years.
She told newspaper La Cuarta that if the exorcism didn't work she
would consider moving house. Her husband says he is also desperate
for a good night's sleep.
The residents recently held a day of prayer in the hope of persuading
the demons to leave them alone. When this failed, they decided to
call in the exorcists.
Sufferers say the wild erotic dreams usually begin some time after
midnight and often last all night.
A few people have suggested the dreams may not be caused by demons.
One sceptic has called on his fellow residents to see a psychiatrist
or a sex therapist.
