The story has been reported in many places. (Link to a local news story.)
I know that by now all of you have heard about the 18-month old girl that was rescued from an overturned vehicle after fourteen hours in freezing temps. Now, all four officers involved with the discovery have gone on record saying they heard a woman softly calling for help. The child was unconscious and the child's mother had already passed. There was no one nearby.
This is one of those stories that defy explanation. Several different people heard a call for help, but the stricken infant did not make the call. And the deceased adult in the car didn't cry out.
What explanation should be preferred?
If a spontaneous mass hallucination led to a rescued child, is that not a miracle?
If a Divinely-ordained voice mimicked the sound of a woman in need of help, is that not a miracle?
For some reason, I'm reminded of a quote from Hamlet. "There are more things in Heaven and on Earth than are dreamt of in your philosophies."
