Sometimes anomalous phenomena are so confusing and complex that a person who has experienced their manifestation simply racks his brains trying to understand or explain what is in fact inexplicable. And when these things start to happen in your own home, it’s even harder to come to terms with it.
One day in late October 1964, the Martin family from Massachusetts noticed a damp spot on the wall of their house. The Martins were surprised because the weather was rather dry and it was not clear where the moisture came from. The next day, when water began to pour out of this spot in a powerful stream, they realized that something completely strange was happening.
Mr. Francis Martin was watching American football on TV when he suddenly heard the sound of drops, and then a crash of water.
These sounds came from the room where an incomprehensible spot had been noticed on the wall yesterday. Soon after, water spurted like a fountain from other walls and ceiling. The strange fountains “worked” for twenty seconds, then stopped and “resumed their work” again in twenty minutes.
Gradually, so much water accumulated in the Martins' house that they were forced to move into the house of Francis Martin's mother, a few miles from their own home.
This, however, did not solve the problem, since, to the horror of all family members, water followed them, and after a short period of time it began to ooze from the walls of the room of their new refuge. A team from the local emergency department was called in to inspect both houses, water was leaking, but why? The experts could not answer this question.
It was clear to the Martins that people would rather not believe their stories than share their concerns. But after experts were convinced with their own eyes that water was flowing from the walls in an absolutely inexplicable way, no one could call the Martins inventors. Even when some measures were taken - the water was sucked off, the roofs of both houses were reinforced, the leaks that followed the poor family did not stop.

Francis Martin returned with his family to his former home, and again water began to trickle from the walls and ceiling, although not so much. After a few weeks, the mysterious phenomena disappeared.
Although the actions of the water spirit who settled in the home of an English family in 1964 did not pose any physical danger to people, it is easy to imagine how tense the nerves of all family members were. The unpleasant feeling of knowing that you became the center of mysterious events was not alleviated by the fact that the so-called specialists could not provide a single explanation.
But this is to be expected: it is simply impossible for large amounts of water to seep through the walls from some natural source. It is quite obvious that the "water" phenomenon has supernatural roots, and local authorities cannot solve this mystery.
Although we have yet to learn how or why such anomalous phenomena occur, the twentieth century has presented quite a few examples of unexplained "leaks". In August 1985, Jean-Marc Belmer, a truck driver, thirty years old, and his wife were renovating their home in San Quentin, France. The next month, red spots appeared on the walls. They disappeared a day later, but later red spots in even greater numbers began to reappear on the walls of the Belmer living room.
The couple were scared, and when they woke up one morning and found the same red drops on their pillows and duvet covers, they urgently left the house and went to the parents of Jean-Marc. The next week, police officers called to examine the house in horror found him completely covered in a viscous red liquid, which, as the examination showed, turned out to be blood. The blood was human, but no sacrifice was found anywhere. No one could find an explanation for this phenomenon either.
Two years later, in September 1987, headlines appeared in the newspapers about another blood-secreting house, this time in America. Minnie Clyde Winston, a seventy-year-old Atlanta resident, was woken up at 11:30 by a noise like the sound of running water. In the kitchen she saw blood pouring from the walls and ceiling; then blood appeared in the living room, and in the bedroom, and in the hallway.
Mrs Winston had lived with her husband in this house before the strange incident for more than twenty years and nothing like this had ever happened. The former owners of the house, who lived in it before the Winstons, also did not notice any oddities behind the house.
But the most anomalous phenomenon of this kind happened at the beginning of the century. In August 1919, oil began to ooze through the walls and ceiling of a house in Norfolk, England. It was assumed that the house stands on land rich in oil. But when oil was gradually replaced by a less viscous liquid, which turned out to be gasoline, attempts to provide a natural explanation for the phenomenon were abandoned.
Over the next few weeks, one fluid was replaced by another - salt water, methyl alcohol, sandalwood oil. As the fluids changed, their volume increased.
One of the police officers who investigated the phenomenon said that by placing a bucket under one of the fountains, he collected two gallons of liquid in four hours. When the situation began to get out of control, the owner of the house, Hugh Guy, was forced to move his belongings, furniture to another house. By the beginning of the next year, the strange "leaks" had disappeared by themselves, just as suddenly as they started.
