The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe the mysterious faces of Bélmez de La Moraleda. Since 1971, María Gómez Cámara’s family residence has been plagued by mysterious faces. First, one appeared in the floor and María’s husband and son pretty much merked it but soon enough, more would appear. The mayor got involved to ensure that the mysterious faces could be studied but study after study have conflicted each other and these faces, remain, unexplained. Could they be ghosts? Spirits visiting María? Purely coincidental markings? A hoax? Do we have a ghost artist on our hands? The problem is that many of these faces are in different styles and can’t be fully explained by modern science. But can we explain them? All that and more on this week’s file.
