Brazilian police have arrested 76-year-old notorious local healer Joao Teixeira de Faria, better known as guru Joao de Deos.
The man is charged with at least 450 cases of sexual violence against women. The incidents of violence allegedly occurred during "treatment sessions."
Detective Carla Fernandez began to lead the case of Deos and, according to her, from the very beginning, supernatural things began to happen around the accused guru.
When a police assistant tried to type the suspect's words on her computer, all the letters on her keyboard jammed and for a few seconds only the long word "ooooooo" was displayed on the screen.
Later, strange problems with police equipment continued when the printer suddenly broke down and began throwing away empty paper by itself. And then the refrigerator broke down.
After that, even the most unbelieving police officers began to talk about ghosts and poltergeists and about the fact that it was the arrested guru himself who incurred his anger on them in this way.

In total, about 450 female victims have filed charges against guru Joao de Deos. The incidents of violence allegedly took place inside his private clinic during treatment sessions.
João de Deos himself remained largely silent during interrogations, but he stubbornly denies any claims of sexual abuse of his patients.
According to investigators, the guru is associated with the occult and most likely used witchcraft.
Meanwhile, a specially summoned police clerk, called upon to help police after computer problems, had an accident and broke his arm.
Then persistent rumors began to appear that the healer cursed not only the police, but also the reporters and photographers who were present at his arrest.
Especially such rumors became more frequent after a photographer of one of the news agencies suddenly lost consciousness for several minutes.
Detective Fernandez admits that all this really looks like a manifestation of witchcraft.
According to the guru's lawyer, all women who complain about violence from his side simply want to take revenge on him and harm him. Guru was taken into custody in mid-December 2018 and refused to be released on bail.
