The Girl Who Cries Blood

Twinkle is a 13-year-old girl from the northern Indian city of Lucknow. She suffers from a frightening and as yet undiagnosed condition: for nearly two years, she has cried tears of blood. Twinkle also spontaneously bleeds from her head, hands and feet. The youngster’s Hindu neighbours and local devotees of the Goddess Kali believe she’s possessed by a restless spirit.
