miracle at puxian. talking statues....

have you guys seen these videos on youtube about the statues.
www.youtube.com...
wtf

i know it's impossible... still those images are freekyyy.... i can the mouth moving and also the eyes open.

At 5–6 p.m. local time on Feb. 27, after a service at the Buddhist center, more than 100 members were lining up to meet Tong Chew, the abbot of the center, when they saw that the Buddha statues in the room started moving, Malaysia’s Chinese newspaper Guang Ming Daily reported.

The witnesses told the newspaper that they first saw one Buddha statue’s lips moving, and its chest also moved as if it was breathing. Then, other statues started moving their lips too, and some kept blinking and even moved their fingers up and down.

Many of the witnesses recorded the strange phenomenon with their cell phones and cameras, and uploaded the videos to YouTube and Facebook. One particular video shows light emanating from the swastika symbol on a Buddha statue’s chest several times. Another video shows a blue light appearing behind a Buddha statue.

Looks like really crappy animatronics / puppeteering work to me .. of course the video quality would have to be terrible for such a miracle..

Actually after watching several of these guys "miracle" videos it appears to be caused by the camera itself, in a few of them things around the statues ( with edges ) give off a similar effect every time he moves.. this makes the eyes look like they are moving as well as the mouth.. I could be wrong but several other youtube comments pointed that out ..

either way, his camera sucks..

here is at least a clearer video

Funny comment someone left: Strange how nothing happens when people use a clear camera that isn't fuzzy.

I'm with miniatus on this one

Looks like a visual artefact produced by the cameras they're recording with. If it were a real or well known phenomenon, more people would have uploaded videos.

Still, good find

Now my neck hurts......

This is the same reason we get flooded with "reptilian" videos. It's video compression artifacts caused by uploading to YouTube.

I would be more inclined to believe in statues that bleed milk or blood before I believed a bronze statue could talk.

Absolutely right.. the reptile stuff drives me nuts, I don't know why I click on them every single time but I do and it's always the same thing.. it's helped a bit with all the HD stuff in youtube lately but not everyone uploads properly and usually something has been transcoded once or twice before youtube gets it and transcodes it again..

.....and I thought Buddhists were generally honest people? I guess every bunch has their bad apples eh?

Did the person who filmed this see this with their own eyes, or were they filming for no reason and noticed through the lens?

Can anybody here translate what is being said in the video?
