ET spotted on a fence in Lincolnshire
It looks like E.T didn’t go home after all – he’s shown up on a fence at a Lincolnshire home.
The shapes on the fencing, which was put up six months ago, suddenly appeared after a recent thunderstorm. "It was quite strange suddenly seeing it there. I suppose it must be something to do with the wood being affected by the water, " Jackie added.

Jesus Christ 'appears' on a drainpipe in Coventry
Is this the Second Plumbing? We're guessing not, but Jesus has apparently appeared on a drainpipe... in Coventry.
Nurse Alex Cotton, 38, returned home from a football match with friends when the holy son decided to make his entrance. While chatting in the garden, eagle-eyed Cotton noticed the mysterious smudge, noticing that ‘It’s got his crown of thorns and beard,’. We're not entirely sure it's the son of God (it's not), but talk to us after an afternoon's drinking while watching the football and we may well change our minds.
Cotton has even invited the Pope to visit the scene of Jesus' latest apparition, though we imagine his holiness will probably give this one a miss on his next tour of the UK.

Jesus found in chicken's feathers
Jesus, not content with just appearing in Marmite, a frying pan and a drain pipe, has now been spotted in a chicken's feathers.
Owner Mitchell Grainger, 25, spotted the face of Christ in a photo of his pet chicken having a dust bath. Grainger told Halesowen News: 'I literally said ‘Jesus Christ’ when I saw the picture. The face of Jesus is clear to see and when I showed my mom she even pointed out the ring of thorns.'
Gloria, of Rowley Regis, West Midlands, obviously has someone watching over her, after miraculously escaping a vicious fox attack. 'It is strange that it would appear on Gloria because not long ago she was the only chicken out of 20 that wasn’t killed by a fox. She was standing on the step when he came and miraculously wasn’t touched' Grainger added. That's why we called her Gloria, after Gloria Gaynor’s song I Will Survive.'

'Devil' appears in bathroom tile
A ‘devil’ image has appeared on a bathroom tile causing house owner Andrea Csrefko to ‘scream and run’.
Forty-seven-year-old Mrs Csrefko spotted the terrifying horned image after her first shower. She told The Sun: ‘I was naked coming out of the shower and I could suddenly see his eyes staring into me. I just screamed and ran.’ Laszlo added: ‘We can't clean it off and it wasn't there when we put the tiles up. It just appeared overnight and nothing can move it. The room is always ice cold no matter how high we turn the heating up and we've just stopped using it because it's too spooky. We wash in the sink downstairs now.’
It looks like getting rid of the image is a job too big for Flash – the Hungarian couple are summoning an exorcist to flush the evil spirits from their lavatory tiling.

An exorcist? I'd call a tiler!
Is this the Devil in a fire - or Disco Stu?
When firefighters in Australia looked at this training fire, they were astonished to see a spooky face in the flames. But is it the Devil himself? Or, as we suspect, is it Disco Stu?
Job Network Service organiser Emma Branigan - who received the photo last month from the fire crew - said: ‘It's pretty amazing. The men were taking photos around RAAF Base Tindal, Katherine... and one man happened to capture this one-off image. The men all thought that there was definitely something spooky about the unknown face amongst the flames.’
But is the face unknown? As regular readers of these pages will know, faces appearing in unexpected places generally get attributed to either the Devil or Jesus. But we think we've identified who the mysterious apparition really is. It's Disco Stu from The Simpsons:
The Devil...... or Disco Stu?

Cancer patient sees Jesus in MRI scan
A cancer patient has made a somewhat divine discovery after supposedly seeing the image of Jesus in an MRI scan.
Cohrs, who suffers from oral cancer, was amazed to discover a familiar image when she picked up an image of the result days later. She explained: 'I was just kind of scrolling over it and all of a sudden, I just saw that, it just popped right out at me. 'I thought, "No way. I'm seeing something wrong. You can clearly see his (Jesus') eyes, his eyebrow, his nose, his mouth.'
Cohrs has used the peculiar discovery as evidence that Jesus was with her during the scan. 'I just think it's amazing,' she said. 'If it was just for me to remind me that, "Yes, I really was there with you," then that's enough. I don't care what anybody else thinks.'

One Almighty statue: Poles build 167ft Jesus Christ to rival Rio's
6th November 2010
The project cost almost £900,000 with money donated from across the spectrum to fund the big idea. From business people to poor people wanting to make a contribution to the church, work on the statue finally began in 2008. But many Poles are embarrassed by the project which is the brainchild of priest, Rev. Sylwester Zawadzki. Maciej Czerniewski, a 45-year-old who runs a small store in the shopping center opposite said he is deeply embarrassed by it and accused the priest of 'megalomania'.
He said: 'In general I don't care about this project but I would prefer to be living in a normal country. We have bad roads, bad infrastructure but the most monuments in the world and now the biggest Jesus in the world.' But other town residents are thrilled by the new business they hope it will bring once believers in this deeply Roman Catholic country add it to their pilgrimage routes.
A 68-year-old retired biology teacher, Krystyna Skurzynska, who belongs to the priest's parish, said: 'My friends in Warsaw are making fun of this, but we are happy about it.' They also hope that many Germans - who tend to be much more secular than Poles - will visit simply out of curiosity since the border with Germany is only 45 miles away. Krystyna said she hopes it will stimulate the economy and return some old glory to Swiebodzin, a town of 22,000 that was, as she put it, 'a major town in the 13th century.'
The mayor, Dariusz Bekisz, also is a fan. 'The biggest statue of Jesus Christ in the world will be in Swiebodzin,' he said. 'People will come and leave some of their money behind.' He has little time for those mocking the project as excessively grandiose: 'When castles and the pyramids were built, there were always people who were laughing. But look at how many millions of people go to see such places and spend their money there now', he said.
The priest, Zawadzki, came up with his idea several years ago, though he imagined something much smaller in scale at first. With time, ambition grew for the man known around the town as 'the builder priest' thanks to churches and other projects he has carried out. Reports say that along the way, a bishop tried to halt the project and officials threatened to withdraw permission for it because of its enormous size. The elderly Zawadzki then had a heart attack.
He recovered and plans got back on track but in recent weeks there was a new setback: cranes were unable to mount the torso and head because of their massive weight. So they sent for a larger, more powerful crane, and had hoped to get the job done Friday. But powerful winds blew from the direction of Berlin, and it was too risky to attempt. Construction workers finally finished the almighty task on Saturday afternoon.

I've just seen Jesus in a field.
Jesus Christ appears on rocking chair
The chair belongs to Lou Balducci, who lives in the Mission Viejo area of Los Angeles, and he was understandably taken aback. ‘When I first saw the image, I didn't know what to think. As I thought about it, I was thinking that maybe it was a sign of some kind. But not being overly religious, I was a little confused,’ he told NBCLA. ‘We showed it to our housekeeper and she said it was a sign that our house and our family was being blessed. …My in-laws are very religious and also believe that it is a blessing.’
Praise be indeed.

I wonder if he needed to get off his rocker to see Jesus?
'Virgin Mary' spotted in cliff face by startled tourist
Caroline and Stephen Gray were walking along the coastline on Valentine's Day when they stopped to pose for a series of holiday snaps. But Caroline, 38, was speechless when the couple returned home and studied the digital camera to spot a clear image of the Virgin Mary, which she insists was not present when she took the picture. And now the receptionist, from Chester, Cheshire, believes the photo could spark a rush of worshippers to flock to the coastal resort to catch a glimpse of the religious icon.
Face of Jesus appears on tea towel
The Coventry resident said: 'When I took it out I could not believe it. I could see it was Jesus straightaway. I took it to my husband and he agreed with me. I don't even know what the stain was made from I had not seen it before I had put it in the washing. She believes that she has received a sign from God after receiving the surprise. She said: 'I am Catholic but I am not extremely religious we don't go to mass every weekend but after finding this it has definitely made my faith stronger.'
Some of Ms McCourt's friends have said the image on the towel looks more like Elvis, but Ms McCourt is not convinced. 'I know some people will think it's crazy and I feel a bit silly saying it but I really believe that it is his face.' The strange thing is that I have started receiving calls from people asking me if they can come and see the tea towel. You never know, it could be Coventry's answer to the Turin Shroud,' she added. Another resident from Coventry, Alex Cotton, last year claimed to see Jesus' face on her drainpipe.

Jesus Christ found in Walmart receipt
Mr Simmons told a local news station: ‘I was leaving the kitchen and I just looked on the floor, and it was like it was looking at me. Then the more you look at it, the more it looked like Jesus, and it was just shocking, breathtaking.’ The couple feel the divine image is a response to a question their preacher asked a week earlier in church.
The holy-man had delivered a message on knowing God and then asked the congregation: 'If you know God, would you recognise him if you saw him?’ Ms Sutherland added: ‘We just feel like it's a blessing that God showed it to us and opened our eyes. And we feel we should share the blessing God gave to us to everybody else.’
Walmart employees have said a receipt can only change colours if heat is applied but Mr Simmons doubts the receipt could have been heated up enough to cause the mark.

it looks more like Rasputin!
