Therese Neumann was a 20th century Catholic mystic and stigmatic. She claimed numerous magical powers, including the ability to be in two places at once and being able to survive on only one Communion wafer per day. She reportedly consumed no water or food for 36 years, from 1926 until her death in 1962.

She bled from the all the traditional places (hands, feet, side etc.), but her stigmata was unusual in that she also bled from the eyes. Skeptics suggest that she used her own menstrual blood to create the spectacle.
