Summary: Three young cousins were in a field when they felt a strong gust of wind. They then saw a brilliant light, hovering above some olive trees and within the light they could see a white figure resembling a crystal statue with rays of sun coming through it. They described the figure as resembling a very handsome young man, which then approached them floating in mid air telling the children not to be afraid. He said he was the “angel of peace” and told the girls to play and to sacrifice themselves. He gave two of children something to drink and something resembling “piece of bread” to the Lucia, the main witness. When the figure disappeared the children remained paralyzed, repeating the same prayers over and over and did not recovered until sunset. The second encounter with the “angel” occurred on a hot summer day that same year. The entity suddenly appeared to them, calling to them and demanding that they pray fervently and to “make sacrifices” on their daily lives. The children remained paralyzed during the encounter. Only at dusk where they able to move again, they refused to speak about the encounter among themselves.

Summary: Soldier Boleslaw Lesniakiewicz had decided to spend the night at a ruined brickyard when around midnight a strange voice and the sounds of a little bell jingling woke him up. He got his rifle and stepped out of the brickyard. His horse was acting very uneasy. Suddenly he noticed a big, white dog like creature, which slowly came closer and closer. Overcome with fear he shot at the dog. At the same time a bright flash of blue-violet light illuminated him and he lost consciousness. When he woke up it was high noon. His horse was covered in strange foam. He suffered from strong headaches in the next two weeks.
