Satanic Image Photo Not Doctored, Photographer Says
Newsmax ^ | 9/16/01

Posted on 09/18/2001 1:31:25 PM PDT by truthandlife

That mind-boggling photo of the World Trade Center in flames and billowing smoke that showed an almost perfect image of a satanic face is real and not doctored, says the man who took the picture. According to Mark D. Phillips, president of StellarImages Productions Inc., the photo is genuine and the image of a satanic figure was present when he shot the picture.

"As a photojournalist for over 20 years, I have photographed many horrifying events, but nothing prepared me for the two hours that took place Tuesday morning," Phillips said. "I cried as I shot the photographs of the towers burning. Never in my wildest imagination did I expect one of these photographs to cause a stir beyond the horror of what occurred.

"Through a split-second of a camera's shutter, I captured an image that many people are saying shows the face of the devil on the side of the burning tower. The image was also seen in videotape. I cannot explain how or why this happened, but those who think I somehow doctored the photograph are wrong."

Phillips is a well known photographer who has worked for the Morganton News Herald (NC), the Augusta Chronicle (GA), the Tampa Tribune (FL), The Associated Press (NY) and Agence France-Presse (NY). The photo can be seen at http://www.stellarimages.com/

I posted this yesterday on a thread...not sure if it was doctored. What an eerie picture.

Actually, it reminds me more of Jimmy Durante than Satan. But, if you take this picture and import it into Microsoft Word and then switch the font to Wingdings at seventy-two pitch you get utter garbage.

NaW.
(Wouldn't Satan's most prominent features be horns rather than a schnozz?...)

Haven't you ever seen a dolphin an a cloud or a President in a turd? People the world over have seen the Virgin Mary in tortillas and Jesus in grass stains. Why is it so difficult to believe that this photographer captured such an image (or the apprearance of such an image) in a plume of smoke? It may or may not be anything more than a creepy image, but there are much bigger things about which to worry. Leave the guy alone already! Nice photo.

By looking at images of smoke in slow motion I'm sure one could see just about anything.

However consider this, if only for just one moment in time, during this horrific act, the devil or satan was indeed there, just for an instant, just for that horrific moment in time....

The CNN still looked even far more like the Devil, or Medieval representations of him. I'm not superstitious and I'm familiar with the laws of chance and I am religious; I think it was the Devil, signaling what he thought of the hijackers and their evil deeds.

It is not an image of Satan.

It is, in fact, Arabic script.

No, but I saw God one night after the prom.

I was wondering how long it was going to take before this came out.

It seems as though the devil has been seen in smoke from the fires at Waco/Oklahoma/WTC Bombing 1993/numerous volcano eruptions and,the smoke coming out of Hillary's ears after hearing how the media had framed her husband with Monica.

So, what did beelzebub think? You're not saying that he dissaproves, are you? Satan wants us all to go down, remember?

I had a tortilla like that served to me at lunch today. I said to myself, I can either announce this miracle and have 20,000 Philippinos with candles on my front porch tonight, or I can slop some refried beans and salsa on it...

My dear brother and sister FReepers,

At this, of all times in my lifetime, I would like nothing more than to be able to read these threads and reply to them.  I have much I would like to say.

BUT, I cannot!

Why?

Because I am trying hard to raise the finances needed to keep FreeRepublic up and running so that we can continue to share valuable information and respond to it.

I beg you, if you have not yet donated to FreeRepublic this quarter,  do so now!

I realize you are giving to lots of Relief efforts and I encourage you to do so.  But we need to help FR too.  Where would we be right now without it?

If you have no money, please come and bump the Fundraiser Thread.

I would really like to reach our goal quickly so that I and the rest of the dedicated FReepers who are working the Fundraiser Threads can participate in what is undeniably the most important time in FreeRepublic's history.

WHERE WOULD YOU GET YOUR NEWS FROM IF FREEREPUBLIC WASN'T HERE? <--click here

Support FreeRepublic! Support the U.S.A. <--click here

I guess everyone is jumping on the "face in a cloud" bandwagon. Did anyone see the Virgin Mary?

This one has been touched up. I saw the original and it wasn't nearly as defined.
