Just last week there was a story of an Italian guy that duplicated the cloth and impression...

There was a History Channel episode where some guy replicated Picknett and Prince's experiment of 1994 wherein they claimed it was the world's first photograph - a "miracle" in itself.

Lots of anomalies in the image - back image longer than the front, head proportionally too small, line of separation between head and torso, and the "hinged" aspect: if it was a burial cloth, where's the top of the head? The Images are too close together.

Mankind has a habit of attaching a holy/ghostly/alien origin to something that appears inexplicable. The Turin Shroud is one of those cases.
