BEDEVILING Did Satan rear his ugly face?

The face of Satan seems to eerily appear in the smoke billowing from the blasted World Trade Center buildings in New York. At least, that's what many horrified people around the country have seen in this Associated Press photo below. The Associated Press was contacted and said the photo has not been touched up in any way.

The higher-contrast version (right) of the photo seems to bring into focus the face of the Evil One, complete with beard and horns and malignant expression, symbolizing to many the hideous nature of the deed that wreaked horror and terror upon an unsuspecting city. What do you see in the photo?

Let us know what you think.

Could it be . . . Bill Clinton?

I'm looking, but I don't see it.

Satan isn't hiding today. He's with us EVERYDAY.

You imagine you see him in the clouds. Satan loves death but his manin forte is causing it. Once he does the evil deed, he's onto the next possibility. Truly satan is with us all the time.

Why do idiots like you pull stunts like this? This is a serious matter. Go to Art Bell with this.

[Bullish]

I see it plain as day. one HELL of a coincidence.

[hos46]

Even looks like he is biting his lower lip!

I'm looking, but I don't see it.

In the center of the picture on the right, you should be able to see what looks like a person's face in 3/4 profile, facing to the right. This picture is a magnified version of the part of the lower picture showing the bottom of the smoke cloud.

I don't read much into this; just as clouds in the sky often look like things, so too with a smoke cloud. I would expect that if this were on video the "face" would only be visible for a frame or two, and all sorts of other random shapes would appear at other times.

It didn't come from Art Bell. It came from the AP. And they say they do not doctor photos. There is also a picture on the CNN website that shows it in color from a different angle. Check the other articles on a title search.

Wellllllll... they do share some resemblance in the nose area.

Satan was on the streets jumping in front of any camera he could find when everyone thought he was stranded in Australia. The man is utter vile, shameless, evil scum.

When I first opened this thread a chill ran up my spine. When I first saw the photo the chill grew colder. Now I just saw the picture on Fox News and I have to go upstairs to get a blanket. That IS strange. Kind of reminds me of the old movie "The Car."

[hos46]

Funny. Both Clinton and Gore were out of the country when the attack came. Doesn't Al Gore have classes to teach?

[Paul Atreides]

I guess you could say, as usual, Gore is classless...just like Bubba.

[blackbart.223]

It just looks like something that comes like it comes from a tabloid. I work with computers and I'm a photographer. That photo is a phony. We need to take this situation seriously.

"Satan was on the streets jumping in front of any camera he could find when everyone thought he was stranded in Australia. The man is utter vile, shameless, evil scum."

You're right. And maybe I didn't catch the humor of this post, but I'm to pissed to have a sense of humor right now.

they'd have to credit the photographer if this was legit

Supposedly an AP photo. Art Bell has it posted on his site of course. It's a message from Hell if it's an untouched photo.

[Fred Mertz]

It's legit.
