I live near a healing spring. It's famous around the world. You may have heard of it. Then again, maybe not.

It's a well known tourist trap about half an hour away from my house by car

So I can go there any time I like others have spent their entire life saving up

Dreaming of going there hoping to heal their terminal illness or broken body after hearing

a story on the news or from a website.

And it works?

Not all the time, of course. But every once in a while, someone steps into the little lake and comes out completely healed.

X-rays and catscans, MRIs and ultrasounds, they confirm the impossible.

The doctors will even tell them, this is a miracle.

The church will be notified and he gets put into writing that a person was supernaturally

healed.

These types of documented events are extremely rare.

Each miracle is closely followed up on and if the healing isn't permanent it is no longer

considered a miracle. But that's never happened to my knowledge. Whatever goes on down

there under the murky mineral water, it sticks.

The thing is, I've always been suspicious of the world famous healing spring.

The church is so secretive about it. They refuse to allow any scientific experiments to be done on the water or soil there.

This is despite the fact that everything from cancer to MS to bone degeneration have been cured by the mystery water.

They've owned the land for centuries. I have permission once to take some scuba gear into the water and try to run some tests and they

refused vehemently. Even under supervision they won't allow any sort of exploration. Security guards patrol the shore and bags are inspected

and when entering so there's no way to stink my equipment during the day when the

place is open. But I thought of another way.
