Inside what will be the kitchen of a new house in Gulf Shores, Omar Craddock was just getting to work.
"We were in here doing some work. I happened to be looking around and I seen something going on that I normally wouldn't see."
An image, in the drywall. "We were working and my brother-in-law Omar said 'Hey come look at this'," says John Gissendanner.
"When I first seen it," says Omar, "the first thing to come to my mind was Jesus."
Gissendanner saw it too, "I looked at it and I said, I see something, a freak occurrence but I did see something in the image."
It started as a routine repair job around a water outlet. "Like any other time, you are suppose to fix something like that. My Dad put some mud on it and I guess when he put that mud on it it kinda highlighted the image or whatever you want to call it."
John and Omar have been doing this kind of work for 30 years or more and they've never seen anything like this. "I'm not a religious man by any means, I mean, I believe in God and stuff like that but when I seen that, that's the first thing to come to my mind."
His brother-in-law is not so sure. "It's just open to personal interpretation of what you see. I do see a face. As far as putting what that face looks like, I don't want to go that route," says Gissendanner.
Whatever it is or looks like, one thing is certain according to Gissendanner, "For drywall finishing this was a pretty exciting day."
Other people who have seen the image agree it looks familiar. Many think it does look like Jesus but, Moses, Sasquatch and Charlie Manson have also been mentioned as possibilities.
