BELIEF

"IN ITALY AN OLD LADY WANTED TO SEE HER HUSBAND AFTER HE HAD DIED.
AFTER YEARS OF PRAYING AND MANY TEARS HER HUSBAND APPEARED TO HER IN
AN APPARITION OF THE DEVIL. SHE QUICKLY MADE THE SIGN OF THE CROSS
AND SAID, 'JESUS, MARY AND JOSEPH THE SCARED APPARITION BEGAN TO
DISAPPEAR BUT WHILE DOING SO PUT ITS HAND ON THE WALL. SINCE THEN
THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO COVER THE RED HAND SPOT."
