Bélmez de La Moraleda probably doesn’t mean much to most people

outside of paranormal investigation circles, but it is a little village in Andalusia, Spain which has become the center of some very strange and to date, unexplained events.

In August 1971, María Gómez Cámara claimed she noticed a weird stain on her concrete kitchen floor, which over the next few days began to form what appeared to be a human-looking face. Even more disturbing was the fact she claimed it also appeared to have changed positions.

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 the destruction of the new face. Instead, the floor concrete was cut out and taken for study.

They re-concreted it and thought that was the end of it.

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