- Thousands flock to the grotto in Ballinspittle, County Cork where a statue of the Virgin Mary is claimed to have miraculously moved.
For the past two weeks, crowds of about 8,000 people have been drawn to the grotto in Ballinspittle where the claims of moving statues have been made. After two local women claimed to have seen the statue moving, word spread and crowds grew. There is now a 24 hour vigil in place and a local committee has been established to manage the crowds that gather at the site each evening.
Believers say that after 10 o’clock in the evening the statue is seen to move in a human way from the waist up, moving its arms and head. Others see the face of Christ superimposed on the statue.
Michael Ryan chats to some of those who have claimed to have seen the statue moving. Dr. Michael Murphy, Bishop of Conor and Ross comments on the claims that have been made.

Real life Father Ted! :)
Back in the good ol days, pints of Guiness, women on the half glasses, kids in the pub, crisps, kp peanuts, bacon fries, live music, and massive feckin Craic, CRAIC CRAIC, FECKIN LOADS OFFFFF ITTTTTT, COME ONNNNNN
Well said,,,and on a Sunday you go to the pub and make sure ya ordered 2 pints before 2.00 pm ,,,as by 2.30 they put you out and you’ll have to wait till 4.30 till they opened again. Last drinks were 10.30 on a Sunday night.
@@Discover-Ireland never heard of pubs doing that tbh. What year and were abouts they do that?
@@sullieking Back in the early 90s
It was the law all pubs had to do it. Many a time I was having a pint on a Sunday and some pubs might leave you in ,,,but the bar man or woman wouldn’t go behind the bar till 4.30 again
@@Discover-Ireland Jesus never knew that. Cause I asked me mother and she said she couldnt remember that.
Thats a mad oul law, wonder what the reason was for that?
Pubs use to be a goldmine back in the day, now they a burden, scary times!
@@sullieking It was just the ways the law was back then. Sure I remember going to the oul nightclub back in the 80s ,,and ya got a meal when ya got in. Curry chicken with rice. The pubs went down hill when the cigarette ban came in.
That would be an ecumenical matter.
Drink!!!

The real beauty of this clip is no cell phones
Also no media brainwashing like today, funny how people that weren’t born back then foolishly believe that everyone n ireland believed in moving statues, it was only a follow the crowd mentality just like Garth brooks Irish concerts.
What a strange species of animal these humans are.

People were gullible back then, but they are even more gullible now.
Good point. I suppose the modern manifestation of this is all the people who fall for conspiracy theories and anti-science propaganda on the Internet. Education, in particular at third level, greatly reduces this gullibility by the learning of critical thinking. Ireland has helped itself in this respect by investing in education.
@@dellhell8842 Most of the conspiracy theorists and also people who believe that science can't be manipulated to sell a product that I know are third level educated.
Gullibility works many ways.
ah go on ted

I remember this well. It happened. It was real.
They made some money down around there during this.
1000 shillings a week
The chip van even had a "grotto Burger"
We had only had two channels back then
I'm up in Belfast & could have sworn that I saw that statue coming out of the off-licence last week?
Stick with the day job, comedy isn’t your style.
This is what happens when you don't have access to British TV on cable television. Poor people, relying on RTE Television, they have no entertainment, but to go outside and think statutes are moving.
The priest is flabbergasted "how do ya believe this child's fairy tale" , he wants to tell them to wake up
It would never happen today, oh wait it did and is with the rona and climate farces, media conditioning at its finest.
Straight out of father Ted.
Gullible people will believe anything you tell them!!
Did you believe the rona and climate farces?
I'm surprised that with so much historical footage and with so many young people witness to it at the time, there hasn't been a documentary made about this yet?
There has no Documentary being made about this because the children that thought they saw something have said since realized that they had been brainwashed at that time and are to embarrassed to speak about such nonsense they were caught up in. Also they are to embarrassed to speak in Camera about how their parents and grandparents were total and utter gullible Moran’s. Hopefully the children of that era got counseling to suppress this horrible experience
@@williambinions4205 I think you've just outed the Moran family anyway.
@@williambinions4205 I wonder if the Morans knew where to include an apostrophe.
@@goldenboy06 I would not know anything about their grammar skills. I believe people have noticed their astonishing ignorance and their gullibility far more than their English skills. They probably are skilled musicians. ( dueling Banjos style)
@@williambinions4205let me guess you followed the rona farce like a true believer?

This is hilarious.
To think that adults are caught up in this kind of nonsense. No, my good-hearted Irish brethren, there just ain't no magic...
I know. I used to be too. Boggles the mind almost, but the poor ignorant plebs have no idea. They want comfort and security and the like from these fables.
