Jacek Slominski, a Polish plumber, underwent a life-changing moment when he discovered an unusual stone while he was working on a canalization system under his house. The stone itself has a strange marking: It has a big letter Z carved on one side. Jacek touched the letter, and he felt immediately the rush of a huge amount of energy that dwelled inside the stone for centuries. He also claims that the energy from the stone healed his aching back which troubled him for many years. The news spread and people came to the Pole. He offered them to touch the stone for a fee.  Once they touched the stone, they claimed healing powers. Overnight, he became a healer. Now people travel hundreds of kilometres so they can visit the Pole. All  agree that the stone is full of an unidentified energy with curative powers.

People are praising the man who now is a full-time healer.

“I don’t understand it, but it works and for me it‘s surely better then fixing toilets,” said Jacek Slominski.

Esat Altindagoglu is a French merchant that comes from Turkey. He claims of an unusual event that involves an icon. Some time ago, his wife, Sevin, purchased an icon of the Virgin Mary from a Lebanese priest. Recently,  Mary began weeping tears of oil. The man, who lives in Garges-les-Gonnesse (approximately 20 km north-east of Paris), said the image has shed tears continuously from February 12th  till the first weekend of March.

Hundreds of people have witnessed this weeping image. Now, people come every day to see with their own eyes the supposed miracle of  tears. At first,  they came only from France, but now people are coming from all over Europe.

In 2006, Sevin purchased the 30 cm high image as a birthday present. The family began watching this strange phenomenon on February 12th.

The Church acknowledged similar phenomenon only once

Esat’s next move is to ask the bishop of the diocese to come and explore the tears of oil. Then, after research, the Church may pronounce this phenomenon as a miracle, according to Altindagoglu. Perhaps …, or perhaps not. Over the centuries, there were hundreds of similar cases in which statues and images wept drops of blood, oil, or water. The Church pronounced only one of them as a miracle. It took place in 1973 in the nearby town of Akita. Agnes Katsuko Sasagawa, a nun, announced the stigmata of bleeding tears from the statue of the Virgin Mary. This phenomenon lasted more then six years.

A circle in the snow recently appeared in the garden of New Castle in Rudoltice (near Ústí nad Orlicí). The snow inside the circle melts because the temperature in this spot is much higher than outside the circle. On Tuesday, the temperature reached a balmy 17 degrees while Prague was frozen in bitter cold. There is no rational explanation for this hot spot: there is nothing under the spot that could cause the higher temperature.

Grass is beginning to grow within the circular enclosure, a space with a diameter of only 2 meters. As of yet, noone has explained this phenomenon.

On Wednesday, Chatelaine, Krasava Šerkopová, put the thermometer into the dirt at the center of the circle. That morning, the temperature was 17,5 degrees. On the previous day,  it was only a few degrees less. Meanwhile, the outside temperature was well below zero.

I’ve seen and experienced many strange things in New Castle, but I have never seen anything like this here or elsewhere, said the chatelaine.

There are no underground spaces nor engineer systems under the circle. Kokes considers as unlikely  the possibility of an old well that suddenly found itself full of warm water. He also  thought it improbable that someone scattered huge amounts of salt in this area where farmer’s  buildings once stood.

There is another possibilty. Acccording to recent information, this penomenon occured once some year ago when scouts were camping there. In order to reveal the mystery, Kotes wants to dig a hole in this spot so he can further investigate this bizarre turn of event.
