It happened in August 1971, when Senora Maria Gomez Pereira, a resident of a small village near Cordoba in southern Spain, saw a picture of a human face on the tiles on the veranda floor. But the portrait did not bother Senora Pereira, she was disturbed by dozens of onlookers who came to look at the otherworldly phenomenon.
Therefore, the woman decided to get rid of the mysterious portrait. However, no detergent erased the image from the floor. Eventually, Maria hired laborers who stripped off the old tiles and laid new ones. The work was done, but Pereira's life went back to normal for a very short time. A month later, the image appeared on a new tile. Moreover, there are more faces. Among them was the face of a middle-aged man, a local resident who had died many, many years ago. He was buried right under the house of Señora Pereira, her house stood on the site of a former cemetery.
The phenomenon attracted the interest of experts in the paranormal. One of the researchers, Herman de Argumosa, carefully examined the tiles and came to the conclusion that the "paint" with which the strange portraits are painted does not resemble any substance known to science. The hostess of the house agreed to tear off the new tiles. Then the entire floor was removed and experts found human bones at a depth of four meters under the foundation. After interviewing villagers, the researchers found old photographs that confirmed that portraits of those buried there appeared on the tiles in Pereira's house. From that moment on, no one in the village of Belmez doubts that there is life after death.
In 1897, John Wopsen, rector of the Catholic Cathedral of Landaff, died in Wales (Great Britain).

Moreover, letters appeared under the portrait: JV
The phenomenon remained visible for five days. But most impressive is the Oxford Phenomenon.

In June 1923, a distinct profile of the famous Oxford priest, Abbot Henry Liddell, appeared on a white stucco wall next to a plaque that was erected in his memory. People who remembered Mr. Liddell claimed that it was his portrait that appeared on the wall.
Within three years, other faces of the abbot were discovered next to the first. Later, faces began to appear in other parts of the building. Relatives of the abbot associated the manifestation of the phenomenon with a family wedding, which took place in this cathedral, which was the end of the quarrels in the Liddell clan.
For many years, Liddell's portrait remained clear. In 1935, a new altar was built against the wall, which completely hid the portrait. Whether the image has survived to this day is unknown.
