For some weird reasons I believe something does happen to "few" people in Lourdes. The story of that particular spring predates the Romans who installed a retreat for their wounded soldiers. During the Muslims invasion the Maures did the same, and all this way before Bernadette Soubirou, who by the way was mistreated by the Church, they locked her up in a covent in Nevers were she wasn't allowed to speak.
The devil and his angels have super natural powers. Remember the Pharoah's magicians threw down rods and they became serpents like Moses' rod had become a serpent. But his serpent swallowed up the other ones.
Remember the lain man sitting by the pool. When the angel troubled the waters, the 1st one to step in was healed. That was a demonic angel because it caused people to be uncaring and self centered -- stepping over the lain man to get into the water first. Jesus didn't have to trouble the water to heal him.
How can healings from a stone idol of Mary be anything but demonic?????
God bless us all is my prayer.
