Liberian paper the Daily Observer splashed the story of Smith Freeman, a child who suddenly reached adulthood in front of his mother's disbelieving eyes. Unsurprisingly residents in the district of Bong County were said to be in "unbelievable shock" at the news.
The child's/man's mother, 16-year-old Lorpu Kollie, was on her way to a farm when her son began speaking "like a five-year-old" and demanded to be put down.
"This was my first time seeing a two-month-old baby talking so clearly like a five-year-old child,” Lopu told the newspaper.
Marcus Malayea, the journalist who wrote the sensational story, wrote: "As soon as she put Smith down, the two-month-old boy instantaneously began to grow into a full-grown man."
Once his spectacular growth spurt was over Smith apparently ran off into the bush and has not been seen since.
Smith's father Watson Freeman told the paper his son's medically improbable achievement and subsequent disappearance was "incredible and mind-blowing".
Meanwhile Jerome Kowan, Smith's grandfather, said the event is undoubtedly "the handiwork of the dark powers".
Residents have been warned to stay away from the area where Smith vanished for "a couple of days".
