Story Notes
In July 1985 the story of the moving statues was first reported. It gripped the country.
In this documentary we hear from people in Ballinspittle, Co. Cork and Carns, Co. Sligo who witnessed the phenomenon.
The sightings stretched far and wide across the country, with around 30 locations in total reporting that statues of religious figures were said to be moving.
The site at Ballinspittle was probably the most famous and attracted over 100,000 visitors that summer.
