A Catholic child saint that was stabbed to death by her father 300 years ago appears to blink at a tourist in a terrifying video.

The corpse, which has been preserved in wax, looks straight into the camera during the eerie moment.

PP Baltierra said: 'What a coincidence that when you open and close your eyes it becomes a fuzzy video...haha.'
While Sara Johana Bravo Toro, wrote simply: 'The devil wants to impress.'
The legend of Santa Inocencia, whose name translates to St Innocent, includes a tale of a young girl who is killed by her father after taking Holy Communion.
The story suggests that her father banned her from becoming Catholic, but the girl ran away and joined the religion after befriending a nun.
