A man whose heart stopped beating while he slept has claimed that he witnessed angels and spoke to God before miraculously waking up in hospital and recovering.
Don Houston, 62, who has a history of heart trouble, shared his story after recovering from the serious illness just before Christmas last year.
He said that while he was unconscious in an Oklahoma City hospital - with only machines keeping him breathing - he entered a white room before witnessing a parade of angels.
'It was just white,' he told KFOR. 'Everything was so surreal, so peaceful. It was not a dream. It was so real. I mean it was real. Angels were there. God spoke to me.'
An angel showed him two doors and was escorted through the 'door of second chances', he said.
'The angel said, "Don, come with me",' he said. 'We went through the doorway that she said and as soon as we went through that door I started hearing, "Don, Mr. Houston." It was doctors and nurses.'
The vivid experience took place after his wife Rita awoke in the night by the sounds of his death rattle and found he was not breathing and that his tongue was sticking out, according Paramedics Plus.
'I never suspected I’d go to bed and die but I did,' Mr Houston told KFOR.
Rita frantically called 911 and dispatchers gave her lifesaving CPR instructions over the phone.
Mr Houston, a Christian, said that he is now inspired to tell people there is life after death.
'I do know for a fact, there is something out there and you're not alone,' he said.
