Halation
Halation is the action of light surrounding some object as if making a halo. It is caused by the blurring of light around a bright area of a photographic image, or on a television screen.

William Branham's campaign team used a Houston photograph that was the result of halation. Branham claimed that this effect on the black-and-white photograph was the "Pillar of Fire".
This process was described in a September 1931 issue of the Jeffersonville Evening News.
