The website of British newspaper the Daily Mail reports that a woman that had been paralysed on Christmas Day in 1987 suddenly walked again.

Delia Knox, 46, went to an evangelical meeting held by British preacher Nathan Morris in August. She said she went to meet up with old friends and, as a rule, she stayed away from faith healing meetings.

She said she seldom responded to altar calls. 'I've been pulled and plopped and dropped,' she told The Mail. But when Morris called her husband up to the altar, the American went with him to avoid a fuss.

What happened next was filmed and uploaded to YouTube. It shows her being prayed for and lifted out of her chair at the Bay of the Holy Spirit Revival in Alabama, US.

'All of a sudden I felt a voice, which I knew was the Holy Spirit, saying to me, 'Get up', and I felt feeling in my legs and then faith came on me to walk,' she said.

Knox has been walking ever since. So far, no one has been able to prove that this was a hoax.
