Men hold down a spectator (C) in a trance after he watched a traditional dance "Jatilan" at Kaliurang, near the ancient city of Yogyakarta February 24, 2008. Reports of schoolchildren, young women and factory workers going into mass trances or speaking in tongues are common across Indonesia's vast archipelago of 226 million people. The phenomenon may provide an outlet for stress, some experts say. In many cultures, it is part of a religious or spiritual experience, whether in the voodoo trances of Haiti, the mass hysteria of Europe's witch trials, or Christianity's exorcisms.
