Friday, October 31, 2014, 6:32 PM - Witnesses claim the face of Christ formed in a plume of smoke during a fire in Fresno, California last Saturday.

The fire -- which occurred at a duplex -- was filmed by a pair of women.

According to the witnesses, the holy apparition developed as a good Samaritan exited the burning building carrying another man.

"You see Jesus in the smoke, and then the person gets saved. That's, that's right there not a coincidence," witnesses Wyatt Forker told the news agency UPI.

If you're seeing the face of Jesus in the smoke plume, you're not alone -- and it might be a good sign. 

Some studies suggest it could even be a sign that your brain is healthy.

"The human brain is a powerful pattern recognition tool. This tool has allowed us to reach great heights of success as a species and develop impressive intellectual abilities to examine our universe. However, sometimes the tool works a bit too well. We look at random objects, and see images and patterns that aren't really there. This is known as pareidolia," explains Weather Network meteorologist Scott Sutherland.
