I
have heard so many times in the news about statues of Our Lady crying
tears of blood, but could hardly ever dream that I would experience a
similar incident that happened in Malta in 1999.
Crying
statues of Our Lady seem to have increased in recent years, with
incidents reported in various areas around the world. Among these was
a village called Grangecon, in County Wicklow, Southern Ireland in
1995; in a small community of Franciscan Sisters in Gebegamay, Benin,
Africa, and in Civitavecchia, Italy, both incidents occurring in
1997; as well as in 1998 at Mura, a village about 50km north of
Barcelona. Other similar strange phenomena were also reported in
various places among them, USA, Australia, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Spain
and Trinidad.

Dogs offer a very
interesting knowledge in the paranormal because they do not always
perform the role of ghosts. Usually investigators tend to be reminded
inevitably of the famous black dog or the Barguest and for Malta
based ghost hunters, Il-Wahhx.
This phantom hound is
notorious for the great fear that its presence can cause because
throughout the centuries most people who have had experiences of
apparitions have always ended up having bad luck. The Barguest is
known to be the fore bearer of bad news. Some eye witnesses have even
gone as far as attributing a resemblance of the animal to the famous
legendary werewolf.

The Brecon Beacons Mountain Centre, just off the main
A470 North Wales - South Wales road near the village of Libanus, is a
superb facility. With the popular restaurant and imaginative displays
in the Centre, it is the ideal spot to break a long journey. And a
walk on Mynydd Illtud Common, with its fine views of Pen-y-fan, Corn
Du, and many other peaks of the Beacons Range, makes for a pleasant
way for the motorist to stretch his or her legs and refresh a mind
jaded from too long a period behind the steering wheel.
