Suddenly they saw the light on Ilgis lake and when they were riding over bridge, on rotten pole they saw spectacularly beautitul girl. Teenagers got scared, motorcycle engine got choked, so motorcycle made short distance on with engine off and then moved on. Neighter frightened teenagers asked the girl something, nor the girl said them something.
After coming back home, Albina told everything her mom. Soon girl in her dream saw the same young woman, only now she appeared as St. Mary. Crying Mary asked why girl does not tell somebody what happened. When found out about apparition, dean of Imbradas parish, priest Jonas Jatulis admited that the girl who appeared was Mary. Although people began to visit place to pray and leave flowers, the real booming of visiting has started in one year.
