American hospice nurse David Parker shares his supernatural experiences, including seeing patients’ souls leave their bodies.

David had supernatural encounters from a young age. At five or six, he was hospitalized with a fungal lung infection. In an out-of-body state, he felt himself leave his bed and walk a hallway. There he saw a swirling ball of 400–500 adult figures appearing like pen-and-ink outlines with distorted faces and gaping mouths, radiating misery. The sphere filled the hall from floor to ceiling, yet staff and patients walked through it, unaware.

A girl his age appeared— dark-skinned, braided hair, smiling brightly. She introduced herself as Penny and invited David to play outside near a maypole. She said he must return soon and asked him to tell her mother, one of his nurses, “I love you.” Back in his body under an oxygen tent, David relayed the message. The nurse broke down and quit her job immediately. David recovered, but never forgot Penny’s charm or the comfort she hoped her message brought.

As a boy, David often witnessed supernatural events with his grandmother, born in 1889. She would sense approaching spirits, and they sat together on the porch swing until about 30 young American Civil War soldiers in ragged blue uniforms marched past on the gravel road. They looked solid, talking among themselves, but ignored David’s attempts to speak. The scene repeated about 50 times over several years, always after his grandmother’s warning. Later, David learned many soldiers walked home after the war but never survived, and he wondered if these spirits were still trying to return home nearly a century later.

At age 12, on the way to church, David saw his 16-year-old friend Lee standing in a cornfield, though his parents saw nothing. At church, he learned Lee had been missing. Afterward, David guided Lee’s parents to the spot. He again saw Lee across the road, staring at the horizon in black slacks, white shirt, and black shoes. As David pointed, his father spotted a motorcycle handlebar in the ditch. Pulling back weeds, they found Lee’s body, dead from a crash two days earlier. David heard Lee’s spirit say, “I’m sorry,” though Lee kept looking at the horizon.

The sheriff interrogated David harshly, and the community suspected him of involvement. His family left the church, and David endured harassment through high school. At his 50th reunion, he was uninvited due to lingering suspicion. Yet he remained grateful, feeling blessed for helping find Lee’s body and delivering his final message.

As an adult nurse, David saw the same swirling ball of figures from his childhood near-death experience on seven occasions in hospitals and a hospice unit, always identical and always unnoticed by others. Once, it appeared in a break room with a colleague, perfectly filling the small space while visitors walked through. He never found an explanation but believed it symbolized trapped, suffering energies, appearing to him only in healthcare settings.

David also witnessed souls leaving patients’ bodies. While caring for a comatose woman in her 70s expected to die within 72 hours, David saw her sitting on her bed’s edge— restored, young, with long styled hair and two legs despite a past amputation. She glowed with health and smiled at him. Moments later, she was back in bed, unresponsive and near death.

That evening at home, David saw her again in his hallway, fully solid, radiant and beautiful, wearing a robe-like garment. She faded after he thanked her. Moments later, David called the hospital and learned she had just died. He described the experience as receiving a “great big birthday cake,” grateful for a glimpse of her restored spirit.

Tragedy struck when David’s two sons, ages seven and nine, were killed by a drunk driver in their front yard. He withdrew from life for a year, painting over his windows to block out the world. Then, his son’s spirits appeared as oval lights radiating thousands of sparkles, resembling babies’ souls he had seen in labor and delivery. But instead of comforting him as children, they spoke as men in their late 20s, sounding like educated executives.

They scolded him, saying his grief was holding them back from important work “for the good of everyone.” They expressed frustration, noting his actions were interfering with their purpose, though one acknowledged appreciation for what he had done. The lights then faded.

This encounter pushed David to scrape the paint off his windows, restart his car, and return to work. He turned his grief into devotion to hospice nursing, determined to give love and light, just as his sons urged (Tia Renee)

Uplifting quote of the day: “Thank GOD for everything that comes your way, good and bad. We could receive special help from the angels every day, living like Heaven on Earth with no obstacles or friction, but then we wouldn’t grow up. It’s just like if your father is rich, but he doesn’t give you everything because he wants you to learn to be responsible, independent, and make wise choices. Truly, every sorrow is a gift from our Heavenly Father.” — Andy Goodman (vegan) American Engineer
