3. Crystal McVea
When McVea suddenly went into respiratory arrest during a simple medical procedure, she believed that she was transported to Heaven where she met God. God, she said, was a “bright light” and she remembers having 500 senses as opposed to just the traditional 5. She claims she wanted to stay back both times she was asked to but was sent back by God after relieving her of shame and guilt. This experience renewed her faith in God and she released a book about her experiences named Waking Up In Heaven in April 2013.
