Things aren’t just bigger in Texas; they’re weirder too. A little girl named Kristen from San Antonio has a unique ability. Kristen cannot only see angels, but she can of course speak to them as well.
Kristen was just 4 years old when a small miracle occurred in her family’s home. She was looking at an image of the Virgin of Guadalupe on the wall when things got a little weird. Kristen says:
“Her eyes like opened a little more like that and she smiled at me.”
Kristen has been hanging out with the angels ever since. It is interesting to note that angels do indeed have halos and a fancy white garb!
Check out the full news report to hear the story from Kristen and her mother. Anyone care to tackle this one? One more thing, no Black Crowes jokes because it’s already been done :)

This is just a mother that wants to believe her child is special, and not schizophrenic. That, and a group or schizophrenics supporting her. :P
She can see angels? Good for her.
My little brother could see a cute girl when he was about her age and he used to talk to her quite often…
Two words: Imaginary Friends
My first reaction to this story was: “her parents want her to see angels so badly that they are encouraging and possibly inposing their fantasies on her.”
But then I started to think about the power of our belief and the power of our society’s belief on our perception of reality…
What if I don’t see angels just because I was thought I can’t see them?
I know my thoughts borders with newage-babel but the possibility is worth considering, at least from a philosophical point of view.
How much of our reality (which is just what our senses tell to our brain) do we choose to ignore because we were taught it dosen’t make sense?
I’m not saying _there are_ angels, I’m just saying that the girl _sees_ angels just like a lot of us used to see and interact with strange and nonsensical (for people around us) things when we were children.
The only difference between me and her is that the people around my parents were mildly amused and skeptical about “angels” while her parents were willing to encourage her (and possibly ask her questions guiding her to see what they expected her to see).
We are constantly guided in our choices of what makes sense, what’s real, by the people around us, it’s in the human nature, and, besides, living in the same accepted reality paradigm make conversation a lot easier :)
Is my reality “more real”, or did I just choose a different one (the one without “angels”)?
Note:
She moves her eyes around a lot when describing the angels, she “umm’s” and “ahh’s” and “like’s” a lot when asked about what they look like, and finally she gives us a painfully stereotypical description: they have halos and are dressed in white. “Just like the pictures in my Sunday School book!”
My opinion? Imaginary play reinforced over years by her parents and her religious environment.
Another possibility is that she’s learned that she gets special treatment from people for saying that she can see these angels, and by being both pious and blessed she is loved just that little bit more by her mother. Just look at how much her daughter being able to see angels meant to her. The fact that Kristen is rather vague and uncertain when describing the appearance of angels only supports this.
I give more points to that girl who paints Jesus ;)
As I said before, religions are mental diseases. I rest my case ;)
Hmm, you think the angels talk to jesus? If they do, i’d love to get some inside information on who the big guy upstairs wants to win the Stanley Cup. (I hope it’s the Sabres…maybe little-miss-angel-whisperer can put a good word in for them)
well, simple way to test it.
- Hold up fingers behind your back
- Ask her if she can ask the angels how many
- tadaaa
anyway, I seem to be a little late in pointing out how my neighbor kid talks to his stuffed bear…even when it isn’t there…
“Hey mommy, the picture smiled at me.”
“Okay honey, that’s nice.”
“Hey mommy, I see angels up there.”
“…”
-Two weeks later-
“Hey mommy, I see angels.”
“OMG! Teh aNg3ls!!1″
Perhaps I’m wrong along with all the other doubters. Maybe she isn’t just making something up as children often do. Perhaps she doesn’t notice that it gets her attention, something children pretty much universally want. Perhaps she really can see angels. Perhaps there really are nice people in white and with halos talking to this girl, and no one else can see them. Perhaps Christianity is therefore correct, and many of us are all going to hell for ever doubting her and Genesis.
But I seriously doubt it.
I’m glad this story got the attention it deserved — sandwiched between “Stolen Games” and a traffic report.
Ooo, zing.
Time to cue calvin and hobes I think :)

Ahhh, Robot Chicken.
What I don’t get is why when someone describes an experience with “angels” everyone jumps all over it as though it’s somehow credible. But if you said you had a conversation with the ghost of Napoleon who was marshalling his legions of sentient cucumber warriors, you’d wind up in a straight jacket.
What’s the difference?
You are funny just like this video.
It doesn’t prove that angels exist, and your comments don’t prove they don’t exist.
Don’t forget that watching too much television is not good for your mind. It’s wasting your time and your energy, but the worst of all it’s poisoning your heart.
I don’t personally believe in angels, but I do believe in positive and negative energy. I think we’ve all experienced that in some form or another. Suppose it could take the form of a being. Why not? But an angel? A messenger of god? That is the purpose of angels correct? What is the message? Also the history of angels in the Bible is pretty interesting especially when and where Hebrews were when angels began to appear in the Bible. Check out what Elohim is too………. If you believe in the Bible you must also take into consideration the factual history and the origins of words. Sadly not many people do that and thus you have religious freaks.
Hello Tabitha,
Thanks for the comment. I would, however like to pick on one part of it and that is your use of the term ‘energy’. The sense in which you seem to be using that word is in reference to some sort of supernatural stuff. But since we lack a good language to discuss such ill-defined concepts, you borrowed the word ‘energy’ from science. While I’m sure you use the term innocently enough, I would like to point out a couple of issues that I have with it’s use in such a context.
First, the scientific definition of ‘energy’ is that which gives matter the ability to do work. More technically, though, energy is a classes of measurable qualities of matter whose sum remains unchanged during any process in a closed system. The key here is that energy is measurable. Spiritualists of all stripes often (and mistakenly) apply the term ‘energy’ to non-measurable concepts. The bottom line is if it can’t be measured, it’s NOT energy.
Second, some spiritualists purposely adopt scientific terminology to describe their own particular mythology. This has a number of advantages for one trying to popularize their beliefs. First, it takes advantage of common ignorance of science in the population. Science is ‘mysterious’ to many people. Using it’s terminology, a spiritual leader can make their own beliefs more mysterious and thus interesting. Second, scientific terminology is adopted by spiritual leaders to give their beliefs the illusion of credibility. People find science credible because of its practical applications (technology); spiritualists try to steal some of this. Deepak Chopra is, perhaps, the biggest abuser of this technique.
I sure your use of the term ‘energy’ had none of these questionable motives. My goal here was not to berate your comment, but to raise awareness of these abuses.
what’s really sad about this is that the mother prays to that virgin and not to God
At least we can be more sure that Mary existed. As to whether she was actually a child-bearing virgin is doubtful though.
We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another
