The Miracle of the Sun

of 1917 in Fátima, Portugal, there were 3 children: Lúcia dos Santos (10 years old), Francisco Marto (9 years old) and Jacinta Marto (7 years old). They did not know how to read or write and lived their life in the countryside, other than World War I or the Russian Revolution, which overthrew the Russian autocracy and brought the Bolshevik Party of Vladimir Lenin to power. What these children did was play and care for the animals.

But it all changed on May 13, 1917, when they claimed to have seen "... a lady brighter than the Sun" over a holm oak one meter or more high, when they were feeding a small flock in the Cova da Iria , near the village of Aljustrel. Lúcia saw, listened and spoke with the apparition, Jacinta saw and heard and Francisco saw but it did not hear.

The Virgin appeared five more times and the last Apparition on October 13, 1917 was expected a miracle. On this day, more than 70 thousand people were in Cova da Iria. The woman who appeared to the three shepherds revealed the Virgin Mary. She said, "I want you to make a chapel here in My honor, that I am the Lady of the Rosary, that you always continue to pray the rosary every day. The war will be over and the military will soon be back home.

Lúcia then at the end of the conversation tells the crowd to look at the Sun and everyone witnessed something spectacular that became known as The Miracle of the Sun.

It rained a lot in the day, very much and there was mud everywhere in the Cova da Iria. Even so, more than 70 thousand people went to witness one more Marian apparition. And they observed what was known as the Miracle of the Sun.

After a torrential rain, the clouds dissipated in the firmament and the Sun appeared like an opaque disk, spinning in the sky. Some said that it was not the Sun, but a disk in solar proportions, similar to the Moon. It was said to be observable significantly less bright than normal, accompanied by multicolored lights reflecting on the landscape, people and clouds around. It was reported that the so-called Sun would have moved with a zig-zag pattern, scaring many of those who witnessed it, who thought it was the end of the world. Many witnesses reported that the soil and previously wet clothing were completely dry in a short time, and also reported unexplained cures of paralytics and the blind, and other unexplained diseases, in many cases also evidenced by medical testimony.

According to witness reports, the Miracle of the Sun lasted about ten minutes. The three children reported having observed Jesus, Our Lady of the Conception and St. Joseph blessing the crowd in the firmament.

People more than 40 km from the Cova da Iria observed the Miracle of the Sun.

The event was officially accepted as a miracle by the Catholic Church on October 13, 1930. On October 13, 1951, Cardinal Tedeschini states that on October 30, October 31 and November 1 and November 8, the Pope Pius XII witnessed a similar miracle in the Vatican gardens.

What actually happened? Of course, the Sun did not leave the place, otherwise there would be disastrous consequences for our Solar System. Mass Hallucination? Is 70,000 people really freaked out?

A "UFO" Would Have Been Filmed "Crossing and Disappearing" on the Horizon, During Sunset, in the Center of Rio de Janeiro / RJ

or not, the person filming did not follow the object in question. It is possible to notice that the camera was simply static and continued filming the sunset. At this point it is important to note that it may not have been in bad faith. One may not have noticed the approach of this object at the time he was filming, since the focus, apparently, would be to record the sunset.

Thus, at this point we discard any possibility of coronal mass ejection (a kind of "gas blow" in space), flare (the famous "solar explosion", which would at best be seen only as a "bright light "from Earth) or any kind of possible impact against the Sun. So that someone could film an ejection of coronal mass, which is not visible to the naked eye, by the way (although the solar corona is visible to the naked eye only for brief moments during a total solar eclipse), with a common camera from Earth, the event would have to be something completely surreal, catastrophic, of biblical proportions, totally epic, huge, dantesque, even because we are 150 million kilometers ago away from the sun, which in turn has an extremely bright photosphere, that is, 99.99% of the time you can not see what happens on its surface, even though the camera was spectacular. This is only possible with very special equipment or space telescopes. Understand that something like that would be absurdly and incredibly rare. It would be much easier to win on the Mega-Sena, with each contest, and for years in a row. That simple.

In the case of flares, most of the energy of the solar flames has frequencies, which are not included in the visible range of the human eye. It is for this reason that most flames are not visible to the naked eye, and should be observed with special instruments. The only event, if you have record of something like that, was the so-called "Carrington Event". This event consisted of a huge solar storm that occurred in 1859, where flare (in white light) and some sunspots were possible to be seen with the naked eye. So if any of the events had really happened, we would have serious problems here on Earth, since the amount of energy released by a coronal mass emission, for example, would cause chaos in terms of electricity supply, water supply , telecommunications, etc. In short, we would practically return to "Victorian Era" or the "Middle Ages".

Attack of "Lollipops"? Demon? Man claims to have fought using his own fists against Strange Creature in Ecuador!

In a swift movement, the supposed creature advanced toward Casimiro, who, frightened, let his machete (a kind of machete) fall into the creek, in which he was crossing. Casimiro, like a true boxer, would have started punching the muzzle of the creature. In an interview with the newspaper, Casimiro said that at one point, his left hand grazed the creature's tooth, thus cutting off his middle finger. The man also said that the animal was scratching his body, and did not want to let it go. Casimiro said that he began to pray, crying out for divine help. For you to have an idea, the situation would have been so desperate that he came to think that that presence was a "work of the devil" because the eyes of the supposed creature seemed to burn (or burn) in a reddish and intense tone.

 On June 14 of that year, the website of the newspaper "Extra Journal" published a story entitled "He gave of puñetes with the 'chupacabras'" ("Deram Socos no Chupa-Cabras", in a free translation into Portuguese) , reporting that the ground beneath the feet of a man named Casimiro Flores, 59, had been shaken when he felt that something had "fallen" behind him on June 6 of that year. During the "fight", so saying, this gentleman would have noticed that his "opponent" had about three fingers with sharp claws, but his face was more like a brown dog with pointed ears. In addition, the supposed creature had black wings, a very hairy torso, and stood with the help of only two very fine legs.

However, during this "fight", Casimiro fell backwards in the water and yet the supposed animal would not let him go, quite the contrary, the creature would have taken advantage of the apparent "vulnerability" of the man to drag him as if it were " bag of feathers ", that is, very easily. Desperate, he managed to catch a rock from the creek, and threw it at the creature's head. The supposed animal would have made a sound, similar to a dog whining, spread its wings and then flew away.

The "Ghost of Greenbrier": The Death of Elva Heaster Shue Zone, in 1897

The story of the "Ghost of Greenbrier" may simply be one of the most original stories, which is known until the present day. This strange story, which took place in rural Virginia, is not only a part of the history of the so-called "supernatural," but of the history of the United States Judiciary. This is one of the few cases in which the word of a supposed "ghost" helped solve a crime and, moreover, condemn a person.

Elva Zone Heaster was born in Greenbrier County, West Virginia, United States, around 1873. Little is known about the early years of his life in the small community of Richards (now Richland, about 10 km north of Lewisburg, seat of that county), as well as about his adolescence, except for the fact of having impregnated and given birth to an illegitimate child, that is, conceived outside a formal marriage, at least by the standards of the time, in 1895 , when he was only 22 years old. About a year later, in October 1896, she met a man named Erasmus, better known as Edward Stribbling Trout Shue, who for simplicity will just call it "Shue", combined?

Well, Shue had no fixed residence, and by that is said to be a traveler who does not maintain permanent ties wherever he passed. However, he moved to Greenbrier and went on to work as a blacksmith, sort of to try to stabilize and thus start a new life. He eventually went to work in the shop of a man named James Crookshanks, who was located next to the old Midland Railroad.

All public roads were not paved at that time, and since the county was located very close to the hills, it was the perfect place to find many horses and also herds of other animals. Whichever person was willing to work as a blacksmith, he would find a lot of work in Greenbrier County. That's exactly what Shue did.

Both were hopelessly in love, and soon married. However, Elva's mother, Mrs. Mary Jane Robinson Heaster, almost in proportion to her daughter, but in the opposite direction, had created a very great dislike for Shue. In fact, Mrs. Mary Jane Robinson Heaster felt that he was hiding something from his family.

The hills have Eyes

The Hills Have Eyes, basically tells the story of a family trapped in the Nevada desert and terrified by a family of mutants living in the mountains of that place. It turns out that a lot of people do not know that this story was inspired by the legendary figure of Alexander "Sawney" Bean.

The real story that happens in the fifteenth century, Sawney, who was the son of a landscaper, did not want to follow in his father's footsteps. When he married, he took his wife and took her to live with him in a coastal cave in the Bennane Head region of Scotland. There they lived and raised their family of eight sons and six daughters, who earned them eighteen grandchildren and fourteen granddaughters, much of it being the product of incest.

During the day they slept in the cave, and the night went forth to exercise their offices. With the help of darkness, Bean ambushed the travelers, stealing and then murdering them. The bodies were then taken to the cave where they would be properly dismembered and prepared for dinner. For 25 years the family worked in secret.

Although villagers close to the scene knew of the disappearances, sometimes they found parts of bodies in the mountains, they had no knowledge of who would be responsible for the crimes.

The Bean were eventually discovered when they tried to ambush a young man who was more skilled at using the sword than they could imagine. The young man was able to hold the attackers until help arrived. Oppressed, the Bean returned to the safety of their cave. Now, knowing the presence of the Bean, the people of Bennane Head sent a message to King James VI, who decided to send his soldiers in search of these "demons."

The soldiers left with hunting dogs and were taken by them to a cave along the coast. Inside the cave, they found not only the Bean family but also the remains of several of its victims who had not been eaten entirely. The Beans were taken to Edinburgh, where they were sentenced to death without trial.

The men were first castrated, and soon after had their feet and hands cut off. They died slowly from the loss of blood. The women and children were forced to see the death of the men in their family, and soon afterwards they were burned alive.

To estimate that the Bean family in its 25 years of attacks has claimed the lives of more than 1000 people.

Some historians claim that Sawney Bean is nothing more than a myth and, if true, was too much of an exaggeration. The first version of the story came only in the eighteenth century and, moreover, there are no reports of the disappearance of more than 1000 people in the Bennane Head region in the 15th century.

However, there are several historical records of the fifteenth century that report periods of famine that forced several family to practice cannibalism. It is also believed that the Sawney Bean family may have existed centuries earlier during the "Black Age" of Scotland, and their stories have been told word of mouth for a long time, written only in the eighteenth century and incorrectly attributed to the century XV.

Faces

Bélmez Faces is a supposed paranormal phenomenon that happened in Spain in a private house in the town of Bélmez (Bélmez de la Moraleda) in 1971, where residents said faces appeared on the concrete floor in the house. The images have since appeared and disappeared by then.

For parapsychologists, this phenomenon is considered the best-documented on gender and "undoubtedly the most important paranormal phenomenon of the twentieth century."

Some residents of Bélmez believe that this phenomenon was not created by "human hands", however, some researchers considered the hypothesis of being a phenomenon of spiritist photography, unconsciously caused by the owner of the house, María Gómez Cámara.

For skeptical researchers, this event is nothing more than a mere falsification. Since the faces of Bélmez were affixed in the house, in the cement lime, the scientists were able to analyze the molecular changes, which took place in such concrete mass. Skeptics have carried out extensive analyzes on faces, trying to demonstrate that falsifiability has been involved in this phenomenon.

History

The history of the city Bélmez was marked for ever on August 23, 1971. At number 5, in the Rua Real, of Dona Maria Rodriguez Acosta, they were amazed, they discovered a "sphinx" in the fireplace of their kitchen. Scared and screaming, she warned all her neighbors, who came across as a strange face, who had clearly appeared on the floor.

For weeks, she tried to blow it off with bleach, but she could not. They tried, too, to excavate their faces, but they continued to appear in other compartments of the house six days later.

The owner of the house, Maria Gomez Camara, 85, died in November 2004, and since then, and until now, countless faces and images have appeared.
