In this episode, we take another dive into religious hauntings.
One of our first episodes looked at religion and exorcisms. Today, we explore the infamous sightings of The Virgin Mary at Lourdes in France by Saint Bernadette, who was a local girl thrust into religious cult status after allegedly seeing visions of Mary in a small grotto. This location has since become a site of pilgrimage for Roman Catholics worldwide. Did Bernadette really witness visions of The Holy Mary?
Then we take a brief look at the phenomenon of stigmata and discuss whether devout Christians can really develop wounds in their hands and feet out of thin air that mirror Jesus' crucifixion injuries.
Lastly, we look at the notorious Borley Rectory, England's most haunted location allegedly. We hear about phantom coaches, ghostly nuns and a headless monk as we get back to all things spooky.
