And you thought museums were boring!

I'm researching for my thesis. This is a story in one of the books:

"According to news reports the Egypt Centre of the University of Wales in Swansea had to cope with a large influx of visitors who came to worship the mummies on exhibit and conduct exorcism rites to free spirits trapped in certain artifacts. It got to the point that the unauthorized activities were interfering with non-exorcising visitors in the museum, and staff could not get their jobs done. Some of the visitors claimed to be possessed by Egyptian deities. One female visitor was convinced she was the mother of a 2,000 year old mummified baby."

Yup.
