The People In The Floor: The Unexplained Case of The Belmez Faces

[staarker]

On 23 August 1971, the Pereira family began to encounter strange human-like faces that appeared and disappeared in their home which located at the Pereira family home at Calle Real 5, Bélmez de la Moraleda, Jaén, Andalusia, Spain without explanation.

Various faces have been frequently photographed by the local newspapers and curious visitors. Both the locations and times that the faces appear have been irregular.

Maria tried to scrub the stain to remove it and when this failed, María’s husband, Juan Pereira, and their son, Miguel, destroyed the image with a pickaxe, and new concrete was laid down. However, a new face formed on the floor within days.

The mayor of Bélmez was informed and forbade them from destroying the new face. Instead, the floor concrete was cut out and taken for study.

Within a week not only had the face reappeared but more had also formed.

Scientists also stepped in to verify their authenticity and test whether they were paintings or some other chemical, orchestrated by Maria. The kitchen was closed off under the supervision of a notary and three months later, when they left with no answers, the faces were still there.

The painting theory was ruled out, and no conclusive evidence could pinpoint the cause of how the faces were appearing.

Some say faces like these trapped in hard surfaces are the faces of trapped souls that are being punished. A lot of people speculate what hell may be like. Imagine being a floor and having people walk on your face for eternity!
