The other day my girlfriend decides she wants to pull out dishwasher to get behind there to clean the floor. It was night time and I was tired so I was upstairs when I heard her shout up to come downstairs.

She shouted again and I eventually went down to see what she wanted.

When I came down there was a look of shock on her face and she pointed at the pipe and said take a look at that.

I had to neal down on one knee to look at what she was pointing at and then I looked in amazement.

This is what I saw



I am a skeptic about these sort of things but you can clearly see the cross in the centre and the neckline with face and body. The reason the copywrite notice is on the pic is because it was taken from a forum called Charlies Chill

Wow, that's pretty weird. I hope you don't sell it on ebay

That is extremely fascinating, friend Starlife. Have you found the cause?

What's a picture of your dishwasher pipe doing on Charlie's Chill? Shouldn't you have the copyright to your own picture?

It's pretty cool and would be even more amazing if it was just a water stain but that's next to impossible is it still there?

too many discrepancies...and is there a zoom in or zoom out?

I heard of something happening like this an old ladys bathroom was flooding so when the plumber had a look he found a statue of he virgin mary down one of the pipes the old lady and he husband had built the house and the old lady wasn't catholic and no one the new was

I hate to come off as harsh, but i belive this is a complete and utter fake. Either this persons girlfriend likes to paint, or they put the sticker on this pole themselves, because its just beyond my imagination to how it could come out so perfectly.


Another thing is, you always know something is up, when the person makes the picture tiny as 192x256 considering this probably came from a digital camera, the picture resolution is usually very high. The image itself is altered, to the point where its only showing the object of concern, when they should have just posted the original photo's to begin with, and taken away the suspicious copywrite. Since they put that on the picture, it makes me belive they are just in this to try and squeeze some money out of the gulable people.


Here is some images i resized and put various filters on to show how this object appears only in the area of the actual picture. Like this would mean a dead person can't make a mistake. I have seen and heard many stories about Spirits that write on floors of haunted houses, or draw things. But the thing is with these cases, the writting or drawing is done so badly that nobody can really figure out if its just a quincidence or if it really is indeed the dead trying to give them a sign.

I cannot thank you enough for enhancing thoses images as it has comfirmed what I thought I was seeing. I can 100% confirm that it has not been painted or drawn on. I did not intend to make the pic as small tiny as possible but just turned out that way when I took the pic. Its a shame you think I am lying but the pic is what it seems. Many people have seen it other then myself.

It's creepy and cool

What is the pipe made of? It looks metallic and what razors into my mind is a reflection of the girl that is looking down. In Blazea's thumbnail u can clearly see it and it is more convincing. I might try this with the pipes that I have, take pictures and experiment with christmas mirror balls. Of course I need long blonde hair.

actually, it looks to me more like a white PVC pipe, which is usually used to encase things like that flexible tubing going to the machine...
and it looks like something at some point got a little hot next to it and burnt the PVC. Its just the right color, and similar pattern as well.

The pipe looks like it's made of a rubber composite
like PVC pipe

Umm if this really is real, then why did you only take one picture from one single angle? You gotta convince me its real, by actually getting enough evidence that this isen't just a sticker you slapped on this Pcv pipe. The first thing i also thought was that its plastic, and being that it makes no sense to how a stain that smooth and perfect could show up.

If you want to convince me this is actually real, take more pictures and supply more information about your past experiences, because this truely is something that appears to be a sticker or just paint. Heck you could have even taken a picture of that pipe, then photoshoped in this image for all i know, because it looks like i could do the same thing in under 5 minutes.


Well from what i know, no camera normally takes pictures at such a small rate. The lowest ive got is 640x480, and from there you have to scale it down. What do you know i saw it to lol. Jk

I have posted a pic that proves that it is not stuck on. I thank you again for your time trying to make this pic look fake as it has confirmed it even more for myself and others but it is what it seems. Photoshop can make images appear otherwise but this is not one of them. You are incorrect in stating it is painted or drawn on and it is not an image photshoped onto a pipe.

What did you see too Blazea58. Elaborate.

I thank you for posting, simply because what i do is make constructive criticism.
I usually just try to point out all the things that make up a true hoax, and i always like to see more feedback, and information on these encounters, as this truely is pretty crazy if you ask me.

I am leaning towards beliving it, but i still need more proof to back up the claim that virgin mary has appeared on a peace of tubing.

May i ask if your very religious?

Where is this pic that proves this?

So weres this pic proving its not a fake

The way i see it is, if someone actually did happen to get a full scale picture that appeared of virgin mary, i'm confident they would try to get as many pictures, and even videos of this object.

I am sure everyone else would agree that it seems very bizarre that there was only one picture taken, even on the original site.

We wont see the new picture until they photoshop another image of virgin mary on another tube.

I am not saying it is a hoax, but if it isen't i think it would be a good time to provide us with even more information on this.

The pic I have posted is very clear. Blazea58 put the pic through Photoshop and it speaks for itself. Whether I take a close up pic or not it will show the same image as I have posted already.

To say the image is a hoax because another pic has not been posted is a weak excuse. If the image was blurred or taken from a distance I could understand but the pic is as plain can be.

It is very small for what you see as being clear.



Let's just say its not the first time this image has been through photshop.




Liability is one thing, refusing to shed some light on it is another. You obviously have something to hide, since all you say is your wife saw an outline one day, then poof virgin mary appeared after a while. I wonder if that means we can all do this to.




To say that the image is Not a hoax because you feel one picture is enough, simply is also another weak excuse. Sorry but if this was all real, im sure i would have seen you on the news, but do i ? No.

You can try to mock Blazea58 but you are making it look worse for yourself doubting a pic you have tried so hard to make fake. You then in a further post state you are leaning towards believeing what you see. The pic is small but very, very clear.

To say it is not real because you have not seen me on the news is quite humorous.

I found a link from another site for this forum mentioning this image. I really like the picture. It is really spooky.

why would the Virgin Mary choose to superimpose her image on a piece of plastic pipe thats stuck behind a washing machine '!!!!!!

Although our machine packed up yesterday and i have to go home and fix it today....if i find any desciples or saints hangin out back there i'll just ask em to fix the machine for me.

I am not trying to mock you in any way, it's just you haven't told any other information reguarding your past experiences etc. All you keep doing is getting upset that one person thinks its not real, when you could actually be getting somewhere if you were to post some more information and pictures.

Heck the image is still on the drain pipe right????? DID it disappear??? Obviously if this really is real you wouldn't mind taking a few more pictures now would you?


I may be a skeptic, but i do belive in alot of things i just need more proof reguarding it to even come to a final conclusion.

If i had all this happen to me, i would do everything i could to get it shown on the news, seeming it can be reviewed by the public.

I have seen many things like this on the news where people have claimed that virgin mary statues bleed real blood, and tons of other things.

If you seriously belive its real, then just go take 5-6 more pictures of it, and i will truely belive you , but seeming i know its hard to duplicate the exact same effect in photoshop i know you wont be getting these pictures any time soon.

I think Starlife that you are being rather defensive. Yes, it is an interesting image but a close up would verify the solidity of your claim. You have to expect people to be sceptical. Nobody here knows you or your level of truthfullness. You are just another person online showing another image that is impossible to see and then getting defensive when people ask you to post a more clear image.

A clearer or closer image would definately make it easier to see. It is hard to tell if it is fake or not from the image you posted. It could easily be painted on and without a clearer picture, you have no proof that it is not. You have to expect people to be sceptical of your claim that the virgin mary appeared on a piece of PVC behind your washing machine when your only proof is a blurred and nearly detailess image.

The pic is not blurred and details are very clear.

Maybe someone else has noticed maybe not.
Look at the picture and see the two pipes that have been tied off above the image.On the two pipes there are burn marks which are almost identical to the shape of the image....these pipes were resting on the plastic conduit ,got too hot and burned into the plastic conduit...leaving a coincidental mark/image on the plastic.....heat up any piece of material and leave it rest on plastic for a moment or two and you will see some vague image that reminds you of something.....


My verdict ? : Coincidence.
I say it's time to let this one lie !!!!!
