Can you spot the devil?

[purplepoppy]

Just a bit of Halloween fun. Most people are familiar with the famous Salem witch trials but many don't know that Salem is short for Jerusalem. It's why you'll see so many chapels in the UK called Salem, particularly in the more historically religious west.

There is a famous British painting by Sydney Curnow Vosper that shows a women entering Capel Salem, Cefn Cymerau in Gwynedd 1908. It is well known because prints were given away free to market sunlight soap. It became one of the most common paintings in people's homes. Most old people will have childhood memories of it, often of being frightened.

For it is believed by many that Satan can be seen the photo hiding in plain sight. Once word spread about the devil many families destroyed their copy.

So can you see him?

I can see him

I can't see him

We had/have this painting in our house

It took awhile and I had to enlarge the picture, but I believe I see the devil in the woman's shawl

Blue eyes and a green nose?

[purplepoppy]

Yes well spotted

I saw the large face first and then haven’t seen it since as the mind focuses to the obvious. Interesting.

[ChrisMaster69]

Yep he’s there.

This is what happens when you arrive late.

Satan lives inside the church, every abused acolyte knows that.

I think the only hidden face in there is the window or i think it's my imagination that's making it look like a face

[Aiko_E_Lara]

It looks like a smiley face with two horns of the center of is head

When I travel to London you can be my tour guide. Then I'll show you the devil.

[magiusX26]

most likely reffering to the window where it looks like a face in the backround scenery there.
