'Jesus' image appears in tree at nights, then vanishes

An apparent image of Jesus that appears and then vanishes in the bark of a tree has grabbed the attention of a Central Florida neighbourhood.

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 shadows across it and forms something that looks like Jesus."
