I did! I visited there yesterday and it was a powerful feeling. I had a rosary to be blessed and some prayer cards. As I entered the Church I felt drawn to certain areas. As I looked at the Our Lady of Guadalupe to the right, my friend heard something. Then I turned to the left where the crucifix is and as I saw the blood running down Christ I felt a “charge” of intense devotion. Like it was given to me.
I felt power when I touched the holy water and I felt an antique feeling. It’s hard to explain. When I returned home and blessed my house before sleep, I returned to that same feeling and it has been with me all day. It is deeply felt in my soul. I feel like I have been gifted with a blessing. Not haunting at all. God’s light.
I used one of my ghost hunting apps and it was incredible how much activity I felt and picked up here. I was having a conversation it seemed at times.
Back in the 90s
I seen an apparition of an elderly Hispanic Nun sitting on garden bench; wearing a brown habit.
