It was baptized as the most important event of the twentieth century, an unprecedented event that attracted the attention-in the first instance-of the locals.Dozens of them.What they saw induced chills, had never contemplated something similar.p>
They were faces, the faces of Belmez that appeared and disappeared on the cement floor of a small home in the peaceful Belmez de Moraleda, Spain.The news did not delay in resonating throughout the country, capturing the attention of curious, media and investigators of the paranormal, eager to check the event with their own eyes.
The chilling faces of Belmez
Maria Gomez Camara's house became in an improvised museum, visited by residents of the municipality and by people from all over the world, after the story about Belmez's faces was published in 1971.
Camara said that it all started when the 23 August of that year, I notice a spot with a singular shape on the floor of the kitchen.When focusing the look better, he distinguished that this stain emulated a perfectly modeled human face. The image was so precise, so sharp, that fear invaded him, so he rubbed and rubbed the I use vigorously, but the efforts to erase it were useless.
I told his neighbors what he had found in his abode, so they themselves went to check that story.And like Camara, they turned white see the strange appearance.
Supposedly, five days later, after trying several cleaning methods with the help of her husband and son-getting to scrape the image without getting any results-, they decided to cover the surface with plaster.
According to the testimony of the family, when they thought that the matter with the face on the floor had ended Inado, days later another mysterious shadow would appear , but with the shape of a masculine face.Since then, the phenomenon spread throughout the house , with images of children, women and men, wearing the corridors and walls, appearing and disappearing.
Because of its rarity, it was inevitable that the phantasmagoric faces of Belmez became the mediatic ecstasy.Such was the case they attracted numerous investigators and parapsychologists who sought to answer whose faces were these? Why did they appear in that place?
The German parapsychologist from Argumosa was one of those in charge of investigating their origin.One of his resources consisted of performing psychophonies in the house of Camara to prove that the phenomenon had paranormal incidents.
According to him, in one of his recordings-unpublished-he managed to hear that a voice ordered him "German, pica patio, raise cement".
A genuine paranormal case?
Several hypotheses arose from the alleged paranormal phenomenon of the 20th century, one of them proposing that the address rested on an old cemetery, based on the psychophonies of Argumosa.More chilling still, it was argued that these faces perhaps came from the people buried in that place.Even even rumored that the faces belonged to Maria's relatives , fallen during the Civil War.None of this was proven.
Because of the great coverage In this regard, some of Belmez's faces were extracted and preserved for investigation.But no report has been conclusive.So much so that is still being debated today if this was really a paranormal phenomenon or a implausibility. For their part, those who reject spiritualist theories suggest that teleplasties could be painted with nitrate and silver chloride, or that the cement, in reaction to moisture, could have caused the pigmentation.
Without doubt Belmez's faces, publicized to the end and followed faithfully by the people, they were the most important phenomenon of the twentieth century, in Spain.Real or fictitious, the anecdote of Camara attracted a good sum of tourists from any geographical point to the municipality of Belmez, as never before.Are they really creepy, don't you think?
What do you think, does Belmez's faces come from beyond or is it a story created for profit?
