Suddenly people are stopping to get a glimpse of what some people believe is the image of Jesus Christ.
“I walk here all the time. Never thought of looking up, but if I looked up, I think I would’ve stopped and taken a look at it,” commented Carolyn Massoni of Wallingford.
Massoni and her daughter Marylou McNamara wanted to see for themselves and they’re convinced there is something special there.
“It’s definitely there,” said McNamara, also of Wallingford. “You can definitely see it.”
“I think there could be something to it, just the way it’s formed,” Massoni added.
