Virgin Mary Spotted on the Side of a Hospital Wall in Malaysia... People Gathering

The apparition started over a week ago and gradually filled out over this past weekend. As it did, more and more people are gathering daily to gaze at the appearance of what some believe is the Virgin Mary. Some will say its a naturally-caused acid etching on a metallic panel that just happens to look like a person. Others will say it's some kind of sign from heaven; impending doom? Impending peace on Earth? Who knows. The skeptic in me would say it's just acid rain taking it's toll on the side of an old Malaysian hospital building. What do you think?

Prayerful crowds of Roman Catholics have gathered outside the Sime Darby Medical Center in a suburb near Kuala Lumpur since last weekend after an image believed to resemble the Virgin Mary was spotted on the hospital's seventh-floor window.

I feel bad for anyone wasting their time and money to go see this, when it looks like nothing but a fat stain.

To each his own though. If visiting this dirty wall changes someones life for the better, have at it.

Seriously though, looks like nothing. I'm more impressed by Grilled Cheesus.

It does look like a nice piece of art work i do admit although the benefit of this event would be the opportunity to start selling hot dogs among the crowd! $$$

One word: Cheesus.

simple case of Pareidolia.... and a bad case at that!

Nothing to see here....

I saw what looked very much like Jimi Hendrix in a loaf of bread once, although for some reason I didn't immediately jump to the conclusion he was trying to communicate with me......... the mind is a powerful thing... interpretation of the mind is not an exact science....

I'm particularly bemused by this bit of the report...

the hospital glass panel would be moved to a church and tested by theologians and religious authorities

They're going to "test" it?
Is there a test protocol for "virginmaryness" that I wasnt aware of?

I think it's that we are wired to see patterns. This is a Rorschach test, and the faithful are seeing what they want to see.

If not, then I'd hope the creator of the universe could manage a better message than a stain.
I'd rather that god work on that Fukushima debacle...so that we all don't wind up with a burnt image of Jesus or Mary branded upon us like an Australian toaster biscuit.

The face part is completely featureless. That could be anyone. How can you positively ID someone who has no face? Or is it the fact that Mary is the only woman who ever manifests on things and Jesus is the only man?

Of course there is a test protocol for this type of matter!
Its called testing what type of glass it is!!

If Mary or Jesus decided,and were able to come back,would they really choose a piece of toast,rusty wall etc in which to appear?

I think not myself.

Our eyes are trained to see human form, not every picture we see are from divine source, tho there is a lot of unsolved mysteries. I see only stain on the window, can´t see face at all.

This picture is not to offence anyone´s beliefs just to show you where we see human forms

Did you make that image yourself? Someone took the time to import that image into a paint program and zoom in to composite an image on it.

EDIT: Just so readers know, it is a part of a dog you most likely dont want to see. Dont want people clicking on it who may be eating lunch.

No i did not. Its just the way our eyes works. We see human form in clouds, glazed tiles and when we see abstract pattern our brains wants to turn it to something what makes sense.

And thank you for being more precise, didn´t think about people who might be eating

Also some might see Alien in this one ( i think its cookie or dough )

Just pointing out that it is not a good example since it is fake. It's true that humans are naturally experts at recognizing human faces probably even from the day we are born, but if some object looks like a human face or form then that is what it looks like.

If I were to hold stock in the supernatural aspect of this, I'd be very worried. To me, it looks like a divine woman having a miscarriage. In the yearly cycles, this is the time of the year when Goddess is heading into her crone/mother aspects and will give birth to the God.

This sign would mean that the next phases of fertility will be aborted and stopped. This would mean no crops, bad weather, famine, etc.

Even though I don't believe in this image as a sign from above, it's still unsettling with the 2012 myths roaming around.

Virgin mary? Looks like professor dumbledore wearing a pope hat to me.
