PHILADELPHIA – MAY 17: Father Gregory Fairbanks, a professor at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in Philadelphia, speaks to the media next to a picture of “The Last Supper” by Leonardo Da Vinci, during a news conference regarding the Catholic Church’s views about Dan Brown’s book, “The Da Vinci Code” May 17, 2006 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

One night, returning home after being out, they found the painting face-down on the bed. The wire hanger was split in two, as though it had been cut.
Shortly, he received news that his sibling had just died.
Years passed, and a second time the painting mysteriously was face down, again as though the wire had been split.
He received notification of the passing of another family member!
What once seemed so strange, is now seen as evidence spirit and matter are not really separate at all.
