Miracles reported in small Kentucky town

A quiet spot near Springfield, Kentucky, has been in the news intermittently for the past 10 years. Some residents claim miracles are occurring in an area known as Valley Hill.

Hazel Spalding, a local resident, has no doubt that the place holds special powers. "I had my rosary in my hand and it turned gold," she said. "I smelled roses but there was no rose bush."

In April 1995, seven young girls and their Catholic education teacher reported seeing spots of gold and apparitions of angels and the Virgin Mary. The occurrence was profiled on the television programme "Unsolved Mysteries". Even though an "Unsolved Mysteries" expert debunked the visions and photographs, those at the centre of the mystery stood by their story. The visiting crowds grew large. But in the intervening years the crowds have diminished.

Amanda Terrell said of her experiences: "A lot of people don't believe me. I tell them the story and they just think you're crazy." But Amanda still
believes, and what she saw remains the keystone of her faith. "It gave me a more spiritual background," she said. "It made me feel like I was closer to
God."

Many of those who were at Valley Hill in the spring of 1995 still make a pilgrimage to the area. They remain steadfast in what they saw and how it has changed their lives. "We saw spots all over each other," Mandy Mattingly said. "The sun was just pulsating. It was a miracle. It was great."

"I know what happened," Phyllis Filiatreau said. "I know what I got out of it, and I know what my daughter got out of it. It will stay with us both for the rest of our lives."

The woman who owns the land at Valley Hill says the miracles are most likely to be seen on the 2nd and 23rd of every month.
