Medical mystery. The girl who cries blood!

There lives a girl in India who cries blood. Now make no mistake about this for it's no vampire movie but a real life scenario. When 14-year-old Twinkle cries, blood instead of tears streams down her face, scalp and feet.

What would you make of it? Miracle, mystery, sorcery or witchcraft? A doctor who has gone to examine her says it could likely be a manifestation of a mental illness called Munchausen syndrome. According to the experienced pediatrician, it comes as a shock to him as he's never seen anything like it in his long years of practice. ''This is really a first for me,” Buchanan told TODAY’s Al Roker Friday in New York. “I can’t tell — I don’t know where [the blood] comes from.”

Even more baffling is the fact that neither Buchanan nor any other except Twinkle's mum has ever seen the bleeding begin nor have they been able to find any wound or lesions in her scalp when the bleeding has occured there.

The story goes on and on. If you're interested to read more, visit  http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/32797753/ns/today-today_health/#.UFF9Bo3iYYo
