||'''[[Proposing to Hope Brumbach]]'''.  William Branham's in-laws were divorced, and living in separate cities at the time of his engagement to his first wife, Hope.  This is different than what he talks about as part of his Life Story.  Why?

||'''[[Three holy words]]'''.  William Braham said he had to say them before a person was healed.  He said that no mortal knows those words.  Scary...but similar to one of the Gnostic Gospels where Thomas learns three heavenly secret words that can call fire from heaven.

||'''[[The Houston Photograph]]''' is William Branham's biggest vindication.  What looks like a halo hovers behind his head. And Douglas Studios refused to let him use it as the cover for his biography, and the Beatles had a picture taken with a similar halo.  Perhaps the mystery can be solved by an article in the January 25, 1950 edition of The Houston Chronicle, which said that it all happened "under the glare of the great lights of Sam Houston Coliseum."
