Vision of the Gods

[Cartoonist]

There's more to this story. Found on:



The essential new details are that the female was an attractive girl dancing on a moonstone, and that when the music she was dancing to stopped, she vanished suddenly... but not suddenly enough to disturb the cameramen. They continued to tour the temple, but found themselves obsessed with the girl they had filmed, so they asked the Sinhalese assistant (Mr. De Zilwa) to ask the worshipers who she was; but everyone he asked quietly and quickly avoided him.

Eventually the four men cornered a native and questioned him about the girl; shaking, he said he knew of no girl... but there was 'death woman' who appeared and danced on the steps each year, and all who saw her were accursed. The men felt that the locals were just being either ignorant or just avoiding telling them who the girl was... but it was also very clear that by now they were being watched very closely by the crowd, so they decided they should depart before anything nasty happened.
