'Jesus' Image Appears In Tree At Nights, Then Vanishes

ORLANDO, Fla. -- An apparent image of Jesus that appears and then vanishes in the bark of a tree has grabbed the attention of a Central Florida neighborhood.

The mysterious image in the trunk of a tree only appears after dark at Joe Lewis' home located on Saragoza Court in the Dr. Phillips area.

"I'm not really hardcore religious," Lewis said. "I thought it was something cool. I didn't think it was something to go crazy over or anything like that."

Lewis said the image appears every night and then vanishes.

"The face forms where the knot is," Lewis said. "Then, when you come down, there is texture. There are waves in the tree and that forms the knees and the feet. Then when the sun goes down, the street light that is right above the tree casts the shadows across it and forms something that looks like Jesus."

To me it looks like its a member of the Ents

Ents are a very old race that appeared in Middle-earth when the Elves did. They were apparently created by Eru Ilúvatar at the behest of Yavanna after she learned of Aulë's children, the Dwarves, knowing that they would want to fell trees. Ents were envisioned as Shepherds of the Trees, to protect the forests from Orcs, Dwarves and other perils. Although the Ents were sentient beings at the time of their awakening, they did not know how to speak until the Elves taught them. Treebeard said that the Elves "cured us of dumbness" that it was a great gift that could not be forgotten

6. I picked up an iced tea glass off the

counter one day and the condensation puddle formed a perfect peace symbol. I tried to photograph it for posterity and possible adulation but the counter is white so it wasn't a good likeness. I tried to save it but alas, it evaporated.

8. We had an apparition in my neighborhood

It was a Mexican family that had a cross appear in the door every night.

They lived in a mobile home and the door had a large frosted plexiglass window. The cross only appeared when they had a candle lit inside the home. Turns out is was the refracted light from the candle illuminating the stress cracks in the door.

It still didn't stop people coming from miles around with their lawn chairs and rosary beads to pray at the miraculous apparition.

I also have a friend who worked in a snack bar on the grill. He kept a jar of lemon juice and a small paintbrush next to the grill. He used to paint all kinds of things on buns and tortillas before he'd grill them. The lemon juice when heated, would make the image appear. He could produce miraculous apparitions on an hourly basis. Jesus on a tortilla was his specialty. Along with the occasional "666" on the grilled sandwiches ordered by people wearing Christian paraphernalia.
