The Bélmez Faces House
There are many faces at the Pereira family home in Bélmez de la Moraleda, Spain — but none of them are human. Since the 1970s, residents have reported the mysterious appearance (and sudden disappearance) of faces on the concrete floor of the home. The ghostly images have been studied, photographed, and documented (the mayor of Bélmez even ordered the floor to be removed for research at one point), but no conclusive opinion has been reached on the matter. Some believe the images are thoughtographic phenomenon — the ability to “burn” an image onto a surface with the power of the mind. Others say the faces are a forgery or simply a chemical reaction. Despite those claims, visitors and investigators flock to the home in droves.
