No that's incorrect, we have witnessed gravtational lensing. Therefore any "invisible" object with an appropriate mass could cause this. Also I get the shits at the posters earlier on (not you) that say matter is gone forever in a blackhole lots of it is converted to energy, most of it being released in X-Ray transmisions (hypothetically).

P.S. I'm really drunk (it's 8:30pm on a friday here) CHEEERS.
