A 19th year old girl was brought to my attention with a miserable appearance but sanguine temperament. Her name was Magni Maria and she claimed that during an epileptic find, she pushed incidentally needles through her right arm and breast. The needles didn t cause her any trouble until three months later, when the pain had become so unbearable, that she decided to go to the hospital. When Magni was brought into the hospital, the thin woman shouted horrible for days and nights on end. The poor wretched girl, pushed her head between her shoulders while jumping high above the bed, and arched her bust and arms on the account of the spasmodic contraction of dorsal muscles [ ] she was shaking, the breathing was anxious, the violence with which she turned her head around his neck was incredible, the red-turgid eyes, now dazed, now wide open, moved rapidly, the teeth where repulsively grinding, from her mouth, blood-stained foamy matter spewed, the swollen face horribly shook, the black hairs where soaked with wretched slime. There was involuntary loss of urine and feces, everything inspired the maximum horror and terror and my patients in the hospital started to believe she was a witch. It is in this condition that Ferrario finds her.

It is in this condition that Ferrario finds her. His human treatment is narrated in his medical diary. Although it was thought that she imagined things, the doctor does find needles when examined her wounds and after a while the patient even starts to throw up needles. Her condition worsens and it is the common fear that she will die soon. In a frantic, desperate attempt to save her life, Ferrario researches the literature and discovers that this case is not unique and starts to dig up more evidence. The events take a new turn when the doctor makes a chilling discovery.
