This is the terrifying moment the corpse of a child saint who died 300 years ago appears to suddenly open her eyes.
Tourists were visiting the Cathedral of Guadalajara in Jalisco in Mexico, where the preserved remains of Santa Inocencia (St Innocence) - a little girl - are encased in glass.
One visitor was filming the tour of the holy building on his camera when he captured the moment she appears to open her eyelids.
The frightening footage was posted on YouTube where it has been viewed nearly a million times.
At first sight the corpse, which has been wax-treated for preservation and whose face hasn't decayed in 300 years, looks like a statue.
But as the camera pans up and down the body it focuses on the face before the dead girl seemingly opens her eyes.
Many viewers have called it out as being a fake but others believe it may be a sign.
There are many different stories about how the girl met her early demise.
The most popular version is that she was a Mexican girl who wanted to make her First Communion with classmates but it was strongly forbidden by her father.
But she was invited to be included by the nuns in her school and when her dad found out she had done it behind his back he stabbed her to death.
The locals took her body and she was returned to the cathedral where she was laid to rest and became symbolic as a silent witness of a girl’s deep love for Christ.
