Tourists visiting Erin Ijesha Waterfalls in Osun State were left stunned when a young woman, believed to be a ‘water child,’ reportedly fell into a trance, creating a scene that has since gone viral.

Eyewitnesses claimed that the woman suddenly appeared to be “possessed” by an unseen force, entering a trance-like state as she stood near the cascading waters. The incident, captured on video, showed the woman speaking in an unusual tone, her eyes unfocused and her body swaying rhythmically, leaving many spectators bewildered.

Witnesses described the moment as surreal. “She seemed to be in a different world — like the water was speaking to her,” one tourist recounted. Another added, “At first, we thought she was performing, but it quickly became clear that something deeper was happening.”

Social media reactions to the viral video have been mixed, with some attributing the occurrence to genuine spiritual forces, while others speculate that it might have been a staged performance or an emotional outburst.

The management of Erin Ijesha Waterfalls has yet to comment on the incident, but the unexpected experience has added a new layer of intrigue to the already popular tourist destination.

Whether a spiritual encounter or a psychological episode, the “possession” of the so-called ‘water child‘ has left a lasting impression on those who witnessed it firsthand.
