That ministering spirit looks like nothing. Maybe the camera in the back is a ministering camera? Not sure who the evanglist is and I am sure that the person is/was well meaning. I have seen this type of thing all the time. Once a friend locked his keys in his truck. One of the men said lets lay hands on it and it will become unlocked. Before the Lock Smith arrived he also said while praying for the truck, please God let the Lock Smith not charge him "cause we are the head and not the tail" etc. Well the Lock Smith arrived popped open the door which was still locked and charged 80 bucks to open it. Some 'super spiritual' people see and believe some strange things!

"Many Christians do not try to understand what was written in a verse in the Bible. Instead they approach the passage to prove what they already believe."
I can't really see anything in the picture...too blurry to make out. However, I believe that angels interact with humanity (hence the "entertaining angels unaware" statement and other biblical examples), and I'm not going to cry foul on anyone's personal experience.
I know my parents relayed having an extraordinary experience after my brother drowned that would seem like a fantastic tale to most.
I guess to the nay-sayers, I'd have to ask: What motivation do people have for lying about these things?
There are some who are seeking signs and who look for odd occurrences as a means of personal, doctrinal or spiritual validation, but many of the stories I've heard ring true.

Not all nay-sayers say they're lying. Just sayin'.

Plenty of motivations. People feel validated by stuff like this. Also, it may not be lying. It's people that find spirits behind every door.
But for an angel to make itself known in some type of human form -- okay. For an angel to be present in the supernatural realm, "unaware" to humans -- okay. But this ghostly, psychadellic, cloudy appearance that is likely the effect of bad photography and shadows, is a huge stretch IMO.
People are obsessed with angels sometimes. I remember an evangelist saying he met Gabriel. This was 6-8 years ago. He said the angel told him his "lips were on the trumpet." How many have heard this same thing?
