What is the craziest unexplained event you have witnessed?

What is the craziest unexplained event you have witnessed? Jennifer Scholl, MSW from The Ohio State University (2018) First, let me say that I am and remain a huge sceptic, even after this happened. I’ve thought of every possible explanation and I still have no idea how this happened. Whether you choose to believe me or not, I have no reason to make this up and like I said, I’m skeptical every time I hear a story like this. But nonetheless, here is the completely unexplainable event I witnessed:

In 1999, my mother was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor and was put on multiple drugs, including prednisone. She was having seizures and her over all mental and physical functioning were being severely impacted by the tumor. Her doctor very stupidly failed to mention that the high dose of prednisone he’d put her on causes potassium to leech out of the body, so she went into hypokalemia. Her heart stopped and the jolt when she hit the floor was hard enough to cause it to restart, enabling her to call 911. I was asleep at the time in the house and woke up to my brother telling me that police and paramedics were downstairs working on her.

We kept an eye on the situation that night because it was looking catastrophic, as they had to keep going back in to resuscitate her. Eventually we went home (they kicked us out basically) and just hoped she’d make it through the night while they pumped her full of potassium and other drugs through her IV. The next morning, we hadn’t heard a word and assumed she was doing fine. I got up and came in to see her and was relieved to find her awake and alert. She was also very loopy and positively euphoric. The first thing she told me was that she’d left her body the night before, and found herself walking with Jesus on a beach. She was so ecstatic, talking about this amazing experience she’d had, that Jesus had told her it wasn’t her time yet and that she still had many years yet to live.

My response was… let’s just say there was a lot smiling, nodding, placating “oh wow that sounds amazing, Mom”-type responses from me. I was secretly thinking that whatever drugs they’d given her must have been… uh… the “good stuff” if you know what I mean! So after maybe 15 or 20 minutes of this, her nurse came in to check her over, and so this woman also got to hear the story, and like me was clearly very amused and just going along with it.

When the nurse pulled back the sheets to look at my mother’s feet and ankles, I heard the nurse gasp and freeze, like she had no idea what to do. I looked over and saw what had her so shocked, and needless to say, I did the same. My mother’s legs were covered in sand, almost up to her knees. Like she’d been walking on a windy beach and the sand had gradually got stuck to her legs as she walked in the surf. The nurse peeled her socks off (which were the socks issued by the hospital and put on her feet the night before), and found that her feet were also covered in sand, and it was even between her toes. She ran out to get other staff in, and before we knew it, there was a parade of doctors, nurses and patient aides coming through the room to look at my mom’s sand-covered feet. I could hear people in the hallway debating how a woman in Ohio, nowhere near any sand at all, whose heart had stopped several times in the night and who had sensors on her body to detect if she got out of bed, was able to walk through sand, despite the fact that she hadn’t been covered in any when she got there. If she had been covered in sand, they would have noticed and cleaned her off when they dressed her and put the socks on her feet. No one was ever able to come up with a logical explanation, it’s not like they were keeping sand traps in the hallway! And we certainly weren’t keeping big sand pits, or any sand period, at home. They later gave her the socks in a baggie, still covered in sand.

In the end, my mother did survive the brain tumor, despite being told she had 6 months at most. She found what was at the time a new, experimental treatment, called stereotactic radiosurgery and underwent the procedure as only the 6th patient to ever have it done, and in the end it saved her life. She had more than 15 happy years with us before dying of breast cancer almost 4 years ago, and always kept those socks as a reminder of the time she walked with Jesus. So whether you believe it or not, that is the strangest, most unexplainable event I’ve ever witnessed in my life.

The craziest, unexplainable event I have witnessed is why all the obvious traitors aren’t hanged on the WDC mall.

The only question I have is: If she experienced an out of body experience how did sand get on her body? That being said, a most amazing story, and I have no reason to doubt it.

I was going to say both parties ignoring the Constitution.
Obama is not a natural born citizen.
And yet everyone is still pretending that he is.

I am completely skeptical that her story happened. Why? Because if this really happened she would not have remained a skeptic, unless she is not smart.

Hey Masters Degree, did you mean skeptic (a person who questions the validity or authenticity of something purporting to be factual).

That is what she said. "I am and remain a huge sceptic, even after this happened. I’ve thought of every possible explanation and I still have no idea how this happened. Whether you choose to believe me or not, I have no reason to make this up and like I said, I’m skeptical every time I hear a story like this. But nonetheless, here is the completely unexplainable event I witnessed."

But if you define skeptic as one who must deny any supernatural explanation, then that would be better defined as being an anti-deist.

The whole story is too long to tell but here are the basics.

Returning home at night. As I neared DeFuniak Springs, I slowed a little. I had been doing 110 on the Bob Sikes Road.

Ran into intense fog, hit the brakes. They were a little out of adjustment and the car pulled to the right and off the road.

While still blind, I pulled back on the road and an instant later saw red lights in my rear view mirror.

At first I thought I was dead and I was seeing the ambulance. Then I realized it was a mosquito spraying truck in the same lane I had been in doing around 90.

Today it seems like it didn’t really happen. I could not have possibly passed that truck while driving blind in the same lane.

Still it did happen.

“Note that I did not write this so I cannot answers questions about the situation.”

In other words it’s just another Internet “story”.

I believe in miracles. I believe in “after death experiences”. I believe that with God, ALL things are possible.

Do I believe THIS story, not so much.

Hi, E. -!

I’ve long considered the video shot you posted as a ‘God Moment.’

What were the chances of one lonely person being in the exact spot to be able to film her experiencing that medical issue?

And they were not able to take the phone and delete the video clip.

That was such a blessing.

If you are interested in reading more stories like this one, please find and read "Imagine Heaven" by John Burke

I don't get my theology from books like this, but I found it to be very interesting--even plausible.
