BANGKOK (AP) — Police in northeastern Thailand have arrested a forest-dwelling self-proclaimed holy man whose followers allegedly worshipped corpses and consumed bodily fluids as a cure for sickness, officials said Monday.

There were chaotic scenes as officers raided the thatched house of 75-year-old Thawee Nanra on Sunday deep in a jungle in Chaiyaphum province. Supporters screamed and jostled with police as the bearded, shirtless white-haired man was led to a police vehicle.

Police said they found 11 corpses on the premises and local media said they were believed to be the bodies of his followers.

Provincial Gov. Kraisorn Kongchalad said Thawee had at least a dozen followers living with him. Coffins containing bodies were scattered around the house. Devotees reportedly told authorities that the leader’s urine and phlegm were believed to be cures for diseases.

Kraisorn said he was shocked to discover such practices still went on in the modern age.

“It’s quite disturbing to see that there are people who believe in such superstition. But this is not only about a personal belief anymore. We have dead bodies, and we will have to work with all agencies to establish facts surrounding these individuals,” he said by phone.

I'm guessing with the severe drought, the lake is much lower than usual and so all these bodies are suddenly visible.

Kinda makes ya not wanna drink the water anymore, right?

There's a bunch of lakes in this country that were made by flooding river valleys, and there are old houses and cars and other things on the bottom

It’s been several years ago, but we had a pretty bad drought in GA. Lake Lanier got so low that you could see the tops of some of the houses that was flooded when they made the lake and the top of the grandstands of an old race track. Watched one of the those weird shows that claims Lake Lanier is the most haunted lake in the country

We have our share of swimmers and boaters who drown here. But it's quite difficult around that lake for a car to go off the road and into the water and just disappear. There are few places where that can happen.
 
Stayed at the Kanapali Beach Hotel once with a fiancee when we had broken up with just before the trip. Couldn't get a refund, so had to go.

She threw a scene/fit at a restaurant and walked out, but I had the keys to the rental car. I let her sit and fume outside for a good 45 minutes while I ate both meals we ordered. She was mad as hell, but we were already broken up so I didn't give a shit.

Way to cut your losses

I once had to attend a wedding with an ex. We were both in the wedding party and had to play nice, so we wouldn't ruin our friends' big day. They had been planning it for a year, and GF decided she wanted to break up 2 weeks before the event. Thankfully it wasn't one of those destination dealies
