    I believe in angels and God, but this is ridiculous. That's obviously a glare from the flash of the camera. Also, about the daughter, it's most likely that her immune system was a wreck and her body was going crazy. In other words, no angel saved her, the doctors did along with good old fashioned luck.

    Keep in mind that not everyone believes in angels. :)

    Anyway, I'm kinda torn on this. I mean, if the people actually saw it, than I'd believe it. But the picture could just be a glare. Weird shape, though...

    Nope. I'm pretty sure that's not a camera glare. That shape is just too weird.

    People see what they want to see. Of course an astonished mother is going to see a "live-saving angel". How a kinda blobby light shape constitutes an angel I don't know.

    Also, notice how the word used was "predicted". Predictions are based on assumptions and therefore have to be taken with a pinch of salt. Another similar case was the conjoined twins (Faith and Hope) who were born to an 18 year old (youngest mother to have conjoined twins). Her doctors advised her to have an abortion because there was no chance. Hope died a few weeks ago and faith died yesterday. Neither of them had a chance. The doctors were right, but again there was the chance that one or both of them could survive and it would be seen as a "miracle". They've died and it's a tragedy. It's all subjective and dependant on what actually happened.

    First thing you think is that its a glare.But I've been looking at it for a while and its an odd shape to be a glare.But I don't know.And it was a miracle that the girl got better after they saw that "angel."

    I would also like to point out that the hard work of the doctors and nurses seems to have been completely ignored by the family. How outrageous that some flash of light gets all praise when these people who devote their lives to saving people just like that girl have sacrificed so much of their time and effort in making her better. It finally pays off and glare from the sun gets the credit.

    Yes that's right. Notice in the article it says "“What was so ironic… is it was a rainy day,” Colleen said. “It had been overcast all day. And the sun only came out at that point.”". Strong sunlight coming through an outer window and being blocked by people and other objects in whatever room it had to go through. Tada, you get glare against the wall with an unusual shape.

    I mean really, some people really need to think before they speak.

    Bunterx your being very harsh about this whole matter. God's will is being shown clearly. You are the type who comments about God not revealing himself anymore and then when MIRACLES occur you choose to scorn them. The angle was there to assist the surgeons and medical professionals save the girls life. God indirectly was behind it. Just accept that a life was saved...or is that too much for you.

    O.T. I dislike your Richard O'Brian

    People get better, people die. That is life. But of course, Christians have the fall back (as the mother was setting up previously in the article) of "maybe it's time for her to rejoin god". Way to safe your back from scrutiny.

    I am also not scorning them. I am saying it was not a miracle. What saved that girl was her immune system and the hospital. Saying that "divine intervention" was needed mocks the effort of the hospital and is really not needed.

    O.T. And why do you dislike that particular actor?

    A point I just picked up from your opst there Shiki, why would a woman whose daughter is seriously ill in hospital have a digital camera with her? Taking photos of her dying daughter? >_>

    I'm not sure if that's an actual angel, but I do believe that it was a miracle, angel or not.

    Looks like a glare to me. There are also tiles on the floor that are glaring brightly and it seems to be the sun filtering into the room. There are tiles even far away from the light formation that are glowing so in the end it's a glare. Hospitals do use wax on the floors which reflects light.

    As for whether it's a 'miracle' or not... it's sad those doctors and nurses who maintained watch, cared for the girl and did all they could get no credit because someone sees a funky light. I'd be thanking them instead of some light and it is true that people will see what they want to see at times when under duress etc. This is no different to me than the shining 'angel' seen on the side of a building that was proven to be fake when some people went to another side of the building and did the same thing when the sun was in the right position to add water vapor. I am very glad the girl lived and pulled through but the miracle to me was in mankind's hands, not in this light's.

    Well I'm not trying to be the Christmas joy killer here, but to me it quite frankly just looks like the flash of a camera on a tv screen, and if you take the light setting into consideration, the shape can become almost anything. It could even just be light shining trough the blinds from the window.

    Another fact that makes me question it a bit is the very fact that it's a photo taken of a TV screen, did the mom sit in a surveillance room, ready to take a photo of THE HALLWAY in the hospital. And does most hospitals have surveillance cameras, and if they do why would A MOTHER, not an employee be there.

    And as stated before, what person takes photos of their sick child. I had a friend that almost died from blood poisoning once, my teacher visited her and she took pictures. My *no longer* teacher was a horrible person to begin with, but taking pictures of people that are nearly dying, is not something a MOTHER that loves her child does.

    So yeah, by all means like Bunty said, credit the staff that helped the girl.

    Everyone has some very good opinions on this article

    Bunty, i like your reaction and i agree about the part where the staff doesn't get enough credit...

    But i still believe that maybe there was a force greater than imaginable that might've been there to aid her along...

    The way i see it... In religion and 'doctors' , you always want god and his angels to talk to you, and if you do hear him or his angels, then you end up going to an insane asylum.. Harsh but true... Most people spend their whole lives trying to be 'blessed' but doctors can screw that up for you.

    i'm christian, but as Repliku mentioned, the glare on the tiles also, it seems unlikely that this is an angel, but i do believe in christmas miracles.

    the shape looks a little odd to be just a glare

    and think about it... if they did tell the news, they'd have to ask nurses and doctors involved... it would take a lot just for this to look real if it was fake
