The boy who claims he went to heaven
An American schoolboy who almost died from a ruptured appendix has said that whilst he was unconcious, he met the dead sister he did not know existed. The boy also claimed that he saw his great-grandfather who had died more than 30 years before. However, he didn't recognise his great-grandfather from a picture taken shortly before his death but from one of him as a young man.
When Colton Burpo was just four, he was misdiagnosed with flu while his family were away on holiday. By the time they returned back to their home in Nebraska, USA, he was seriously ill and had to undergo emergency surgery twice.
Whilst he was unconscious before them, Todd and Sonya prayed, believing they were going to lose their son. However, Colton soon recovered and then told his astonished parents that he had met Jesus, his great-grandfather, and the sister his mother had miscarried a year before his own birth. What made this even more remarkable was his parents had never spoken to him about her, and he didn’t even know he had ever had a sister.
The youngster said: 'She looked familiar and she started giving me hugs and told me she was glad to have someone from her family up there.' He also described to his astonished parents how he had seen them praying.
The Burpos have written a book about their son's experience and Colton, now aged 11, continues to share his stories of his visit to Heaven.
