QueenBee Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 There is this church in a small Ohio town near where I live it is of Roman Chatholic faith anyway this church has a statue on it of the Virgin Mary and for the last week and a half the eyes and heart of the Virgin Mary appear to glow. You can see it during the day but you can see it so much better at night. And no one can explain why the statue is glowing. I have seen the statue it is pretty freaky. But I have a picture of it tell me what you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moor_Child Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 Wow, that's really creepy... I know it's the Virgin Mary, but that's still probably going to give me nightmares. And no one knows why it does that? That just makes it creepier...*shutter* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenBee Posted August 14, 2003 Author Share Posted August 14, 2003 No one knows Why it does that some of the people think it is a miracle of God but it was creepy I couldn't sleep last night after I saw it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniglefager Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 I saw something like this on Unsolved Mysteries. There was a statue of Jesus hanging from the ceiling, and one day, his eyes were moved. It was pretty freaky, and it scared me. Even though this is Jesus and the virgin Mary, this kind of stuff creeps me out, ecspecially because now people are gonna start saying it's the end of the world and stuff...

Moor_Child Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 They show stuff like this all the time on TV. Statues of Jesus and Mary crying oil, eyes glowing, figures moving...it all gives me the creeps. Espically when you can see it during the day, or when they examine the statues and there's nothing there. I guess it is a miracle, but it makes you wonder what it means...

Transtic Nerve Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 What happens if you go up to the statue and poke her in the eyes? lol, anyway, thats pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPCrazy Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 Interesting... I think my favorite miracle is that saint's blood that they have on display in where ever. 364 days out of the year it's a pile of red powder sitting in this vial. I can't remember if it's his birthday or on his saint's day, but whatever...for one day each year the dust turns into a lquid and flows around inside the vial. Very cool happening, though. -evil smirk- Maybe it's a sign of the end of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Forbidden One Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 [color=blue]I hate to sound like the skeptic here, however this seems like basically a lighting trick. Next time you go to this church look up at the ceiling to see if there are any lights that are directed toward the area the statue is in. If the eyes are made out of a certain material or even painted in a goldish bronze manner it would create that effect. [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 It looks more like some very cheap photo editing to me... Or, as Chris sad, just something shiny in the statue's eyes. The only signs I pay much attention to are the ones prophecied in the Bible itself. Not the Catholic Bible, not the Mormon Bible, not the Jehova's Witness Bible...the one with the teachings from the ancient judges and prophets, and the one with the teachings of Jesus and His apostles, only. I don't know much about any other forms of it, and the Holy Spirit has never inclined me to. In short, if this is a sign from God--great. I'm sure God has used it in His own way. But as yet, He has given it no significance to me. -Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patronus Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 [size=1][color=333366][b]If not a hoax, then it is probably an omen from the Gods and Goddesses. It [i]might[/i] have to do with the Mars sighting, but I don't know. Leh[/b][/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eleanor Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 [size=1] I think it's a hoax. I don't beleive in things like "oh, the spirits came and made the statue cry!" ...lol[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/B][/QUOTE] [color=darkblue][size=1][b] LOL! That is funny. The picture doesn't freak me out. Like Justin said, it just looks like a cheap photo editing.

Baron Samedi Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 I think that it looks like a cheap scam to me.

Guest yalborap Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 Well, I lost it, but I replaced the goldness in the eyes with red, and it looked SO bad***! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicoTranzrig Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 [COLOR=darkblue]Something like that that happened in a church that I used to go to a long time ago. It was raining heavy the day before and some water leaked in through one of the windows towards the front of the church. When we went to services Sunday morning, there was a muddy water mark along the wall in the shape of a cloaked female figure. I pointed it out to my mom and she said it was a sign. Whether or not it was an act of God, it doesn't matter...it didn't really help me out much, except distract me from the more important stuff.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenBee Posted August 17, 2003 Author Share Posted August 17, 2003 I am thiking it is the rain because several areas in my county were flooded and the rain has been just non-stop. and I got the pic from the newspapers website [url]www.vindy.com[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wintermute Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 ^^Fun. Sceptical rampage I'm afraid, but editing or lighting. Why would any spirit, holy or not, want to make the eyes of a statue glow? What purpose does that serve? 'Yeropoli, a 35-year member of the parish, said he remembers the statue's being painted with gold leaf about 30 years ago' - Well I would question how good his memory was when he was 5, but many others voiced this sentiment.
