An engaged couple in Anderson County said a shadowy image that turned up on a reciept from Walmart looks like the face of Jesus.
Jacob Simmons and his fiancee, Gentry Lee Sutherland, said they bought some pictures from Walmart on Sunday, June 12.
Simmons said when he spotted the receipt on the floor of Sutherland's apartment the following Wednesday, it had changed.
"I was leaving the kitchen and I just looked on the floor, and it was like it was looking at me," Simmons said.
A dark gray mark on the receipt seems to show two eyes, a nose and a mouth in a thickly bearded face.
"Then the more you look at it, the more it looked like Jesus, and it was just shocking, breathtaking," Simmons said.
The couple said they had just come from a church service when they saw the image.
"We had a message on knowing God, abiding in him," Sutherland said. "(The preacher asked) 'If you know God, would you recognize him if you saw him?'"
Simmons said he called the store to ask what could have made the mark.
"They said the only way you could really get it black was to put heat on it," Simmons said.
"We just feel like it's a blessing that God showed it to us and opened our eyes and we just feel like we should share the blessing God gave to us to everybody else," Sutherland said.
The couple denied tampering with the paper to make the face appear.
