(Nedan följer mer information på engelska där ni kan läsa en skeptikers upplevelse av besöket till Clearwater:
It was first spotted on December 17, 1996, by a woman customer at what was then the Seminole Finance Corporation Building. As one newspaper noted, the image, two floors high, glowed and shimmered, turning from green to blue, to red, and there was a distinct outline of a head, a hooded robe and most of a torso. Skeptics claimed it was caused by a reflection of the sun's rays bouncing off water left by sprinklers, but that hardly explained how its glow often increased at night it went dark just before September 11. George Pecoraro, a scientist with a glass company, told a newspaper that "we're not able to explain how the shape appeared or why it appeared. It could be an accident or maybe it's Divine intervention." Most mysterious was how the image continued without interruption over the span of at least nine separate panes of glass. More than 1.5 million have visited and the original owner, Mike Krizmanich, allowed them to install what has become a permanent shrine, believing the image is "a gift from God to be protected and shared."
So I packed up my family and drove to the location and I must say I was astonished. There were 5,000 plus people there a week before Cristmas. It was very quiet considering the size of the crowd. There were over 500 candles lit with little notes or scriptures to the Virgin Mary. Some asked for help, others for forgiveness and others asked for world peace. A lot of people were praying. Many were crying. Hundreds of rosary beads lined the walls where the candles and messages were. I must say I was truly amazed and inspired at the sight. Once I saw Her, it didn't matter whether it was real or fake any more. I felt a total calm from within. As far as I was concerned, it served its purpose and it couldn't have been discovered at a better time. What better way to remind people of the true meaning of Christmas then to have a vision like this. It inspired me and I know a lot of people there had the same feeling. For me it was an experience and I will never forget. (http://www.webcoast.com/features/virginmary.htm)
