This photograph and the two that follow were taken by German photographer, Walter Furhoff, who has been to Medjugorje 40 times since 1983.

Although he initially traveled there as a pilgrim, after a while he learned that the alleged apparitions of Medjugorje are not only untrue, but a grave and deliberate Hoax perpetrated against the pious for the sake of money, power and fame.

Guided by Providence, Mr. Furhoff discovered that a Franciscan (Fr. Vlasic) was authoring "messages from heaven" with Medjugorje "seers". Outraged because this behavior was regularly repeated, one evening he daringly climbed onto a ledge of the sacristy -- the only place he could visually capture the gang perpetrating this scam -- and photographed their unholy doings through a curtained window.

On this particular occasion, before being detected, Mr. Furhoff was able to take several snapshots of Fr. Vlasic collaborating with two of his willing and very guarded "visionaries".

Photo 1 is the first of three shots depicting this furtive activity. It shows Fr. Vlasic sitting at a desk writing, as female "visionary", Maria Pavlovic, stands to the right looking down, and millionaire "visionary", Ivan, seated in the background guards the entryway from intruders; i.e. anyone who might discover their intrigue. The white streaks in the photo are from the window curtains.

 Fr. Vlasic authors a "heavenly message" as two accomplice "visionaries" look on.
