This angel picture reveals an apparition of a
figure - some believing this to be Jesus Christ. It has become a huge
enigma, as we continue to receive letters
and e-mails claiming to have the original photo, and all of these with different
stories. This photograph of Jesus
in the clouds has impacted so many lives...and maybe we have solved it. Read
Christopher's story and evidence:
UPDATE: The mystery may be
solved. Read this...
"My name is Christopher
and I live in
Edgewood, NM and the following is the
true story and originals of the Christ or
Angel Apparition
pictures you have on
your website. This picture was given to
me by my mother at my grandmother's
funeral.
She took this picture from the
front yard of her house in Portsmouth,
Ohio. I have edited this picture to show
you some things such as the tree and
leaves on the lower left side proving that
it was not taken from inside
an airplane.
This picture was sent to Ripley's Believe
It Or Not by my grandmother before she
died, and
was played on an episode.
This picture has been proven to be
authentic and an original by the Ripley's
Company
as well as other places my
mother took it to and the professionals
say this could not be faked and is not
copied. Copies however, were made by
my grandmother and given to friends,
family, and members of her church.
My
mother has the original camera it was
taken with as well as the bible that it sat
in for many years -
that had the imprint
on the pages. She also worked at
Super-X Drug Stores for 10 or 20 years
as manager,
and she was the secretary
of her church (Swauger Valley Free Will
Baptist Church). This picture matches
the
picture sent in by Dorothy LaVerne
and the last name sticks in my memory
from the funeral. My grandmother had
a
friend with this last name and she was
at the funeral and I met her. My
grandmother's name was Patricia
Ann
Brisker and my mother's name is Judy
Brisker. This picture was the only thing I
got from my grandmother
and I cherish
it and it lays inside my bible; the same
place she had it in hers. I originally
asked
my mother for the bible, but she
said no, so I asked her if I could at least
have the famous picture of Christ
or an
Angel, and she let me take it. I was 19
at her funeral, and I could remember my
grandmother
showing me this and
talking about it as I was growing up with
my two sisters. I was about 5 years old
the first time and I believed it was Christ
and it made me believe in God more -
that was in 1975. My
whole family has
known about this since it was taken and
passed it on through the years. I, to this
day, show it to my close friends, and
share it with my children. This picture
was taken around the times
of
1955-1965, although I don't know the
actual year. So what kind of airplane
could this have been?
My grandmother
told me the story and I have seen the
place and tree it was taken at. On the
back
of this picture is my grandmother's
handwriting and the scriptures (if looked
up have something to do about this
picture one way or another). Please feel
free to look them up for yourself and you
will see it fits
perfectly. There are many
creases on it, and the picture Dorothy
sent in has some of the same, causing
me
to believe that she has gotten one of
my grandmother's copies. I believe in
my heart that I have the original,
and
count this as a blessing that its being
shared, because that's what my
grandmother would have wanted,
and
had tried to do during her lifetime. MAY
GOD BE WITH YOU ALL AND COUNT
YOUR BLESSINGS. I
ONLY WISH THIS
MAKES YOU A BELIEVER AS IT DID
ME!!!"

UPDATE: Vicki Roehrick of
Kingman, Arizona sent us this
latest photo to the left:
"I was given this picture by a friend after
the death of my mother, some 13 years
ago.
I was actually loaned the photo
which was supposedly taken by her
aunt at a family funeral. I'm not certain
of the year, but believe it was several
years prior to my coming in contact with
it. This copy is
not the best as it was
scanned with the blown up copy I have
in a frame." - Vicki
This angel picture reveals an apparition
of a figure - some believing this to be Christ because of the out-stretched arms.
Others believe this angel picture
to be just that - an angel pictured before the person it is bringing a message to, or
watching over. The word, "angel,"
means "messenger." This Angel or Christ apparition picture has made more impact on
the lives of people
than any other picture we have posted. The mystery may be solved. Be sure and See page Two:
"I am writing about the old photo on your site of Christ or an angel stepping
out of a cloud that was taken from an airplane window. I am very
familiar with this picture. In 1972, I
worked at a photo lab in Fort Lauderdale which developed all the films for the SuperX Drugstore chain in
the state of
Florida. This was in a batch we received to develop, along with several others on the roll taken from an airplane window.
Our
photo printer was so shocked when she saw it (pictures were printed one at a time back then), that she called
the entire staff in to look at it,
and then printed an extra one for those of us who wanted it. I kept my copy
for years and have looked for it many times, but it has been lost
in moving. This is a legitimate picture - I
saw the original with my own eyes!" - Elaine Fontes Lehigh Acres, FL
UPDATE
- Upper Right Photo
February 3, 2005, we received this
letter from Kevin Schemenauer of Quesnel, British
Columbia. His photo has been added to the right. Apparently
he owns one of the
original photos of this apparition and writes:
"I was just checking out your site at angelsghosts.com and figured I'd scan
you a photo that we've had
since at least the early 1980's but by the looks of the type of photo paper it was developed
on, I'd
guess it was taken in the early 70's. It was given to us by my aunt who had received it from a friend,
so I'm not sure of it's story. I remember hearing that it had been taken from an airplane window...so
here
it is. You can post it on your site if you like."
UPDATE: New comments regarding these photos were sent to us recently:
"My name is Rick. I am originally from Tampa,
FL. I saw the photo of Jesus standing on a cloud and
read that it was taken from an airplane window. It
also says that it was taken in the 70's. My friend
(who is now dead) showed me this very photo back in 1977. He
told me that his mother's friend had
taken it from an airplane window during a storm. His mother's friend was
curious about what would
happen if she took a photo of the storm. The photo on the left, on your site, is
EXACTLY like the photo
that I saw. I held the photo in my hand and we went to my house. I showed it to my mother,
who is
very much into angels, and she was really fascinated by it. The other photo on your site, from
Canada,
is much different than the one that I saw. The one that I held, at about age 13 or 14, sent
chills through
me. It was a feeling that Jesus was real. That has actually followed me through life. I
have never
forgotten it."
Update: We received
these photos from
Renee Taylor and this
story...
"How did you get that pic of
Jesus in the clouds??? My
Grandma has a picture that
my Great
Grandma took on
a plane. It is the exact same
picture of Jesus in the cluds.
If you want I can get the pic
from my Grandma and
email you the picture. I have
chills all over. GOD IS
REAL!!! And to see the same
picture of what my Grandma
has I really have chills."
Left: Back of the photo from
Renee...
"After my Great Grandma died, this
picture
was passed on to my
grandma. One picture is the front
and one picture is the back."
We have received so many
variations of the story behind
this photograph, we are not
sure where, when, or by whom
it was taken.
Read on and you
decide...then
visit page two of this story:
Add to the mystery: Jack from Denmark sent
us the following comments
regarding the above
scriptures:
I
noticed the scriptures on the back of the
picture sent in by Christopher from Edgewood -
they are not in the bible.
I can't find 1 Kings
19:35, nor can I find 1Kings 35:19; but in 2 Kings
19:35 it says, "And it came
to pass that night,
that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote
in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred
fourscore and five thousand: and when they
arose early in the morning, behold, they were all
dead corpses."
(KJV). I cannot find Psalms
11:9-11 either, because Psalms 11 only has
seven verses.
Conclusion: I am an expert
at image analysis and have been working in this field for years, and understand how to fake an image. There are a few
things that do not add up here. I am not saying that Christ does not exist or cannot appear to you, what I am saying
is that this picture has all the marks of a fake. First, look at the number
of people who all claim that the picture was taken by their mom or grandma. Too many to be true. What is more
plausible is that someone created this and made copies to pass around. Second, if you look at the sepia picture above,
you can clearly see very definite lines, edges and what appears to be cardboard cut out to give a cloud effect. Also
the "Jesus" in the picture appears exactly like the statues you see in so many religious stores and his hands are
in that "blessings" pose. There is no doubt that the sepia looking picture was taken first and then the negative
was used to make unclear copies so the shapes would look like clouds. Not even a question. If "CHrist"
was really there, one of his arms or hands would be in a different position would it not? Clearly a fake. At ghost
soldiers, we will not show you any evidence that we don't think is real, unless it is to debunk a popular photo.
