In October 1987, a glowing cross reportedly appeared in the front door of a Wynne, Arkansas home belonging to Darlene Andrews, a few hours after her husband, Jerry, died in an accident. The phenomenon attracted thousands of visitors to the home, many of whom described the cross as a divine sign, while some skeptics attributed it to a reflection or trick of the light. 

• The event: A glowing, silver cross became visible in the opaque front window of the Andrews' home in Wynne, Arkansas. 
• The timing: Darlene Andrews reported that the cross appeared just hours after her husband, Jerry, passed away on October 17, 1987. 
• The reaction: The appearance drew thousands of people, some traveling from other states, to witness the phenomenon. Visitors described the cross as shining brightly, and some claimed it had a positive effect on them. 
• Skeptical explanations: Some people suggested that the phenomenon was a natural occurrence, such as a reflection or a trick of the light, that had gone unnoticed before. A physicist mentioned that the light could have been refracted in a way that created the image. 
• The family's experience: The Andrews family, exhausted by the constant stream of visitors, eventually asked for some time to rest and mourn. [1, 2]
