Hi Mrs. D.

I saw this the other day and forgot to respond. Absolutely fascinating. I showed the pic to Alan and he saw Jesus Christ. The thing has a beard and mustache.

I guess we see differently from different eyes.

Very interesting.

I would consider the phenomenon of pareidolia.

Red face I've seen this discussed

on other forums...

The forum comments on the TV station itself are fascinating. More so than
the picture itself! LOL

This was supposed to be a digital pic. Now I am not so sure.

Default Grilled Cheese anyone?

Pareidolia... I guess I learned a new word today.

This reminds me of the woman that found the face of the Virgin Mary on a grilled cheese sandwich. I guess someone paid $28,000 for the sandwich on Ebay.

Worse yet, she got the image tatooed on her chest. Trust me, it was not a pretty sight.

Lightbulb here...

here is an enhanced photo from the original... I found on the web that someone made:

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n...ghostphoto.jpg

This is supposed to be from a digital camera. The girls on the video do not
seem the "type" to be faking something, IMO.

I don't know what to make of it.
HOWEVER, I have a friend whose dau took a similar photo!
They were on a road trip. She took a photo of a field and out popped this photo with a faint image very much like the one in your link! However, in this case, the lady appeared in the sky...looked similar though.
These folks are NOT Catholic and are not very religious...go to church mostly twice a year.
Anyway, she showed it to the local priest who immediately asked for copies.
I have not heard that she is/was selling it on ebay or selling it anywhere.
In fact, mom and dau were just puzzeled.
She doesn't know if it was some kind of weird photo mess up at the lab or not. My gut feeling is that it was not done intentionally. They were too shocked. They were asking everyone if they had an explanation for it.
Regardless...whether it was divine intervention or some mix up in a lab....it was thought provoking. This happened about 8 years ago and I remember vividly.
p.s. I can tell you if this happened to me, I think I would be a little freaked out!

Shocked

In that one in the grilled cheese sandwich, if you look at it, it does kinda look like a face, but who says its the Virgin Mary. I just saw a TV show that had old 1930's photos. It looks like a 1930s woman to me. lol
Whats in that one of the lake in Canada? I just saw a circular lake (is a circular shaped lake something 'great'? BTW: what about the lower peninsula of Michigan, seen from space it would look like a mitten.
