Mirage of Lourdes: Argentina’s Empty Niche and Modernist Deception
EWTN News reports on alleged paranormal phenomena at a shrine in Alta Gracia, Argentina, where visitors claim to see a three-dimensional image of Our Lady of Lourdes in an empty niche. The article (February 11, 2026) describes how this vision remains visible from the chapel entrance but disappears upon approach, with shrine officials admitting: “The manifestation… has no explanation at the moment” while urging pilgrims to interpret it as a spiritual sign.
