On August
23rd, 1971, in the small Spanish village of Bélmez, a
startling and unusual event began to take place. In the home
of Maria Gõmez Pereira an apparition was forming on the
kitchen floor. It was a human face.
The features were
distinct and almost mimicked the expressionist style of
painting. Maria Pereira had no explanation for its presence
and her first suspicions were that it was of paranormal
origin. Six days later, in an attempt to destroy the
apparition, the floor was ripped up and a new cement floor
laid down. One week later another face appeared in exactly the
same place. The face was removed from the floor and hung on
the wall whilst the floor was dug up - it was felt that
whatever was causing the apparitions must be beneath the
floor, and it was well known that this village occupied ground
that was once a graveyard. Nine feet down, human remains were
discovered.
Two weeks after the new floor had been put
down, another male face appeared. Another two weeks later, a
female face appeared, this time with several smaller faces
around it - nine to fifteen of them. This time, their
development was observed by experts who were surprised to
watch the shapes take form, almost in front of their very
eyes. Many other faces formed, some very quickly, disappearing
with equal haste - even over the course of a single day. Over
time, the expressions appeared to change, get older and
wizened. Investigators made tape recordings whilst the house
was unattended and locked. When replayed, the tapes contained
inexplicable sounds of distant human wailing, whispering and
crying
