Angel apparition on Egyptian TV

In 1968, while American TV has filled with images from the Vietnam War and the Chicago riots during the Democratic convention, Egyptian TV was broadcasting live television of what many believed was the Virgin Mary appearing atop a Coptic church. The church had been constructed in Zeitun to commemorate the area where Mary and Joseph had fled from Herod. Since April of 1968, visitors to the site had seen the glowing apparition of a woman above the church at night.

 The image was captured by Egyptian TV cameras. It was reported that Egyptian President Abdul Nasser, an avowed Marxist, had personally witnessed the miracle. The apparition was said to last from just a few minutes to as long as nine hours. Mary again appeared in Egypt last year. For several nights in a row, witnesses claimed, the Blessed Mother appeared at St. Mark's church in the little town of Assiut.

Ohio child battling cancer photographed with ghostly figure

A family in Kirtland, Ohio noticed a strange figure in a photograph with their daughter earlier this year. Erin Potter is seen in the photo with a ghostly figure beside her. Cleveland's 19 Action News interviewed the Potter family regarding their experience.

At the time of the photograph, Erin was battling leukemia. In the photo, Erin is pictured running through the yard with sparklers. Next to her is a red figure that some people believe is the Virgin Mary. The Potter family also thinks the figure is the Virgin Mary.

Erin was diagnosed with leukemia in February 2007. During her battle with cancer she has went through many bone marrow transplants. At the time the photo was taken, she was about to undergo her second transplant.

"I know she's not alone, I know we are not alone and people who don't want to believe it, that's okay. Whatever happened, you know something powerful and special was there with us. I definitely have my moments when I'm falling apart and I'm terrified and I literally grab my phone and I stare at that picture." Erin's father Kevin Potter said.
