Man claims to see Virgin Mary in a photograph

For sale on eBay: One photograph of trees, sky, lake -- and the Virgin Mary?

EUGENE, Ore. -- It all started with a drive down the coast. It was cloudy, wet and miserable outside, except for one patch of blue sky over Lake Tahkenitch.

"We were like, let's stop and take a picture," said Jessie Walker.

And when they developed the film, this is what they saw.

"We feel that it's the virgin Mary," said Walker.

They don't consider themselves religious. But both said what they feel when we look at the picture is real.

"It's just overwhelming. I just feel so warm inside every time I look at it," said Walker.

"It makes me feel like a kid again almost, a real happy feeling," said Ashley Knapp.

They posted the picture on eBay on Tuesday.

But they're still worried where it will end up.

"We want it to go somewhere where it's going to be used," said Walker. "Somewhere where people can see it and witness it firsthand."

These two claim aren't looking to get rich quick.

"What we'd like to do is pay part of it forward," said Walker.

And they'd like to change their own lives along the way.

"I'm sorry I keep looking at the picture," said Walker. "It's in our lives now, I guess. So, whatever it brings us, we're going to take it one day at a time."
