A weeping statue of Our Lady isn’t a fake, according to Father Juan Angel Lopez – but he doesn’t know what is causing it.

Lopez said he was certain the weeping statue has not been faked – but he too had no idea what was causing the unusual occurrence.

Spooky footage shows tears welling-up in the statue’s eyes before they eventually fall down its cheek. Read more
