The weeping madonna statue

Image Credit: One of the first paranormal events I was ever involved in, is so strange I must record it for you. Although I am a believer in these things you do have to be careful. The scenario was east London, England, and very briefly, a rough crude drunkard named Alf Bolton approached the newspapers saying he was regularly visited by jesus in dreams and told to heal others of their ill health. Amongst a blaze of publicity he was funded by well wishers in a little office where all could come, for him to lay his hands on their infirmities. I remember joking to famous healer Harry Edwards that he had more visitors than he did!

Seriously, these frauds make genuine healers work so much harder, in fact there are so many of these Madonna statues that weep blood, that I asked a catholic priest with clearance at the Vatican to examine the relevant paper records, He owed me over much help given in a series of difficult exorcisms, and was in no position to refuse, and there is a recognisable pattern that re-occurs here. Often it is a small church that has a declining membership, when suddenly this weeping statue is discovered bringing back the needed congregation, ensuring the economic survival of the church, and power over the community. As in the case of Alf Bolton the East London healer, whom some still insist was genuine, a religious statue in his healing studio wept blood, people said he must be a saint, men gave him much money, and beautiful women shared their bodies with him, for he was a great celebrity.

I used to wonder how could a man with broken unkempt black fingernails, in a dirty shirt and often unshaven with tobacco and alcohol breath, be genuine, and suspiciously collected stories about him, and his affluent lifestyle. and one day on a hunch…. I went to the butchers shop and after questioning the butcher told me that each day before the healer opened up shop he would come in and buy a piece of raw meat, So I borrowed the ladder from the window cleaner, I hid out of sight but capable of seeing into his healing office, and when entering he would rub the meat on the statues face, and over the next while blood would collect and run down the statue, forming droplets.The same game plan works with holy oil, and I have even seen it done, producing “madonna’s milk” There is another version in the Vatican archives where two holes are drilled into the head at the back of a plaster statue at an angle, so oil when poured in would come out the eyes over a slow period, and we can now add to our collection a crying Madonna! Two small plugs over the holes at back and we have a great cover up as well The lesson here perhaps, is not to believe all that you are presented with, and to think it through.

After the closure of his fraudulent activities, the little studio was taken over by an odd chap who had it as a camera shop, he had an unhealthy way of photographing lots of little boys, and for whatever reason left very abruptly. It was then that the landlord approached me for advise, as the studio had an unwholesome feel to it as if unseen eyes were watching you at all times,

I was not sure an exorcism was needed but agreed under pressure. It was an ideal opportunity to show how these things should be done and with the help of some psychic studies students, we undertook the ceremony and cleared the thick heavy oppressive atmosphere, and gave a full written explanation to the committee at our spiritual centre.
