 [[Image:Pillar_of_Fire_smallpic.jpg|frame|Picture taken in Houston, TX by Douglas Studios on January 24, 1950]]
-In Houston, Texas, on January 24, 1950, an amazing photograph was taken by the Douglas Studios. In the photograph, there appeared a halo-like Light above the head of Rev. [[William Branham]]. The negative was taken to George J. Lacy, Examiner of Questioned Documents (who had acted as an external specialist for the FBI).  George J. Lacy was asked to determine whether or not the light could have been the result of improper exposure, developing or retouching. This investigation served to completely authenticate the fact that the unusual brightness was definitely caused by a light striking the negative, even though there was no natural light source behind William Branham at that time.

-Willliam Branham quoted Mr. Lacy as saying, "Rev. Branham, you will die like all other mortals, but as long as there is a Christian civilization, your picture will live on."
+It has been postulated that the out of focus light over the head of William Branham could have been caused by a floodlight in the stadium that would have showed up as blurred in the photograph <u>if</u> the depth of field was narrow.  There is, however, no way to prove or disprove this explanation.
