As
a Ms. Boettcher tried to get the news on her RCA television, a "manifestation"
appeared on her TV. Believing the image to be an angel, she shared the discovery
with neighbors and friends. Soon the local news covered the story, and it was
not long before the networks carried the story. Thousands of people flocked to
Ms Boettcher's home (including myself). After I squeezed through the praying masses,
I approached the TV screen. On the TV was a bright spot of light that had two
"wings" spanning out to the edge of the screen. As the colorful image scrolled
upward, it broke into segments that spiraled around each other. It was neat, but
was it an angel?
Once back outside the house I began to interview people as they exited. I asked them to tell me exactly what they saw. Many saw what they believed to be an angel, some saw Christ, and a few saw a "light being." During the last few years I have also read accounts of people who have seen the image of Christ on a refrigerator, a garage door, and a tortilla. It appears that the proverb "seeing is believing" is often changed to "believing allows one to see." Anyway, before the house could be turned into a permanent shrine to "Our Lady of the TV," the technicians at Shiloh Electronics in Mt. Shasta isolated the problem as a bad capacitor in the low-voltage power supply. After they set up a model with an "angel" on it at their store, they offered to put an angel on everyone's TV for $99.99 a set. The questions about belief that I put on the "Elevator" urban legend page are equally valid for this incident. If you are interested, you can read a bit more about my experiences during the Convergence.
