In Houston, Texas, on January 24, 1950, a strange photograph was taken by the Douglas Studios. In the photograph, there appeared a halo-like light above the head of Rev. [[William Branham]]. Gordon Lindsay took the negative 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 concluded that the unusual brightness was caused by light striking the negative. | In Houston, Texas, on January 24, 1950, a strange photograph was taken by the Douglas Studios.

|''They lay on cots under the glare of the great lights of Sam Houston Coliseum Tuesday last night - the lame, the sick, the infirm, the ones whose hopes for physical health had almost gone. They lay there quietly, some of them uncomprehendingly, as the theological argument swirled about and above them.'' (The Houston Chronicle, January 25, 1950) | |||
