Some folks in East Jordan, Michigan, are feeling very blessed right now — they believe that one resident there has captured an image of a real live angel.
“I said, ‘That’s an angel!’ And I was just blown away,” Glen Thorman, whose security camera captured the photo, told Upnorthlive.com.
“I couldn’t wait to send it to my wife and send it to Deneille [his pastor]. And I said, ‘I got an angel, and my camera took a picture of an angel.'”
The camera is activated by a motion sensor; the images are then emailed to Thorman for review. Last Wednesday, it emailed him a picture that shows what he says looks like an angel hovering over his truck — then wafting out of the frame.
Thorman, the East Jordan fire chief, quickly sent the picture to Deneille Moes, the pastor of his church (see the actual image in the video, right below this line).
“It was really clear to me the minute I looked at the photo, I just kind of freaked out a bit,” Moes told others. “I went, ‘Whoa! That’s an angel!’ And I texted him back, ‘That’s an angel.’ There wasn’t any doubt in my mind that we were looking at something supernatural.”
Moes posted the photos on the church’s Facebook page — where as of midday Tuesday it had gotten over 1,800 shares.
Last night at the Thorman's house, the security camera recorded this snapshot. Glen Thorman is the fire chief for East…

“There’s no altering, no editing on the photo,” Moes told Upnorthlive.com. “It’s the real thing.”
True believers are saying “hallelujah.”
“I am a believer and this photo is exactly what happens, but without notice!” said one Facebook commenter. “Thanks for [af]firming my beliefs in life ever-after … the loved ones are always closer than what you think! AMEN!”
Said another poster, “Pretty amazing! Thank the Lord for His hand of protection!”

“It is definitely moth-shaped in the first photo,” Joe Clark of Glass Lakes Photography in Petoskey, Michigan, told Upnorthlive.com. “You can kind of clearly see what looks, or could be interpreted as, wings and a head, but at the same time since it’s not clearly in focus and since it is what it is, there may be room for interpretation.”
Should an angel hovering protectively over a home or vehicle be that hard to believe?
“I sometimes think angels allow us to catch them,” Carole Purcell, of Columbia, Maryland, told LifeZette. “Just when this weary world needs it most, there’s a glimmer of the certainty of heavenly protection.”
