Wikipedia quote:
The Bélmez Faces or the Faces of Bélmez is a paranormal phenomenon in a private house in Spain which started in 1971 when residents claimed to see images of faces appear in the concrete floor of the house. Such images have continuously formed and disappeared on the floor of the home since that time.
Located at the Pereira family home at Street Real 5, Bélmez de la Moraleda, Jaén, Spain, the Bélmez faces have been responsible for bringing large numbers of sightseers to Bélmez. The phenomenon is considered by some parapsychologists the best-documented and "without doubt the most important paranormal phenomenon [in the 20th] century".

Justin thanks so much for linking this!! thanks also for the link you gave for the "Pixilated" post-that was fascinating and as I was reading it I thought this sounds exactly similar to things I have read in that column in the Fortean Times magazine-then I saw the person who wrote the article make the same statement-altho I think they said it would be stranger stuff there -but really the link you gave fits into FT perfectly! I so miss not being able to buy my favorite magazine-altho I am wondering if they still sell it in the bookstores I go to -as two have quit carrying it. Perhaps it is due to FT being priced by the pound sterling which makes it like twelve bucks or close here in the US-the dollar has lost so much of its value-Thanks again my friend and I hope you are having a great weekend-all the best!!
You're welcome Devin. Yeah, I thought you may be interested in that story. It resonates strongly with experiences I've had. I'm sure I've "slid" from one place to another as was described there. At least it seemed that way. Trick of the mind? Who knows?
Take it easy.
