Garabandal apparitions
From June 1961 to 1965, four young girls in San Sebastián de Garabandal, Cantabria, Spain, reported visions of Saint Michael and the Virgin Mary, often in states of ecstasy.

The account
The first vision, of the archangel, came while the girls were playing marbles. Messages included a warning that many priests and bishops were on the road to perdition, which caused controversy, especially after the visionary Conchita said she had written 'many cardinals'.
The sceptical view
The events have not received Church approval, and the visions rest on the girls' accounts.
