Tortured blood found on Shroud?

A remarkable new study looking at the markings on the controversial Shroud of Turin may shed new light on their origin.

Researchers in Italy say that an examination of the Shroud's fibers revealed that they contain 'nanoparticles' which seem to strengthen the case that the cloth was once wrapped around a victim of torture.

According to their study, these tiny particles feature biological elements that sport chemical signatures, specifically creatinine and ferritin, indicative of someone who has suffered repeated traumas rather than having come from a healthy human being.

The very presence of blood traces on the Shroud strongly challenges the contention of skeptics that the visage seen on the cloth is merely a painting.

This is because these precise nanoparticles can only be spotted using advanced electron microscope technology available in the modern age.

Therefore, it would stand to reason that the presence of the particles on the Shroud is beyond both the ability and imagination of a presumptive hoaxer from centuries ago.

Nonetheless, one would assume that the results of the study will be closely scrutinized by doubtful observers who insist that the cloth is more artwork than artifact.

And, of course, it should be stressed that even if the conclusions surrounding the nanoparticles are correct and they did come from the blood of someone who died an extreme death, the identity of that person cannot be definitely shown to be Jesus Christ.

Unfortunately, proving such a thing may be beyond the capabilities of any technology now or ever and so that aspect of the case will almost certainly be debated long into the future.

By George Noory / Coast to Coast AM Host

George Noory, host of the nationally syndicated program, Coast to Coast AM, says if he weren’t a national radio talk show host he’d be in politics. Heard by millions of listeners, Coast To Coast AM airs on approximately 564 stations in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Guam.

While hosting The Nighthawk, a wildly successful, late-night program on KTRS in St. Louis, Noory was recruited by Premiere Radio Networks to guest host on Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell.  He became the permanent host of the phenomenally successful over-night program on January 1, 2003, following Bell’s retirement.  Since then, Noory’s audience has continued to grow.

Noory captivates program listeners with his discussions of paranormal phenomena, time travel, alien abductions, conspiracies and all things curious and unexplained. He is driven, he has said, by the desire to solve the great mysteries of our time. From his first days as a radio broadcaster he says, “I’ve wanted to cover stories that the mainstream media never touch—the unusual, the paranormal and things like that. I learned that broadcast was the best business for exploring these issues, and I’ve been doing it for 33 years.”
