The girl who cries blood

Do you think it's fake? DH was very sceptical from the start but I gave her the benefit of the doubt to start with. However, as it progressed, I started doubting it was real as it only happened out of the camera's view and away from anyone apart from her mother. If it's fake, I don't know if the mother is in on it or the daughter is doing it herself and her mother has been taken in too. I felt a bit short changed at the end of the programme as it didn't have a proper ending, we were left none the wiser. That American doctor said she would have to be monitored 24/7 for proof but this never went ahead and it just ended. I would have thought that's an easy thing to do to film her over a couple of days and then to include this in the programme. Any thoughts on this?

i felt short changed also. What a waste of an hour! you're right, they could have included some surveillance footage to complete the documentary, but i've found a trend in all these documentaries; they pull you in only to keep you hanging, and never answer the question.
A huge shame. Not sure what i believed in the end.

My hubby also felt he had wasted an hour watching it. Like you, I was sucked into it but didn't realise it would just end like that.

Only watched the last 15 mins but agree about the non-ending. How could the programme makers be satisfied with that? No conclusion at all. I felt doubtful when suddenly the girl "cried" blood as when the doctor looked closely, you couln't see any blood IN the eye, it was just on her face. Surely if she were really weeping blood, traces would be seen in her eyes? Actually, it's making me squirm!
