Girl Falls Down Tree, Meets Jesus And Miraculously Recovers From Rare Illness

A nine-year-old who fell 9m inside a hollow tree claims she ‘went to heaven and sat in Jesus’ lap,’ while unconscious,  Forth Worth, Texas, USA.

In December 2011, Annabel, now 12, was playing with her sisters Abigail, now 14 and Adelynn, now 10, near her house when she slipped and fell inside a hollowed-out tree. She hit her head three times and was knocked unconscious. Girls’ parents called a fire crew that managed to harness the girl to safety and took her to local hospital by helicopter.

Fearing the worst, medics prepped brain and spinal injury teams to stand by for Annabel’s arrival – but, incredibly, she survived without a scratch and even woke up ‘miraculously cured’ of a chronic childhood illness. Even more incredible were the stories Annabel began to share in the days afterwards.


She told her parents: “I went to heaven when I was in that tree. I sat in Jesus’ lap. He had a beautiful long white robe, dark skin and a big beard – kinda like Santa Claus, but not really.” Annabel also told her parents that the gates of heaven are made of gold and that Jesus had said to her it wasn’t her time

Mum Christy Beam says she beleives her girl:“This wasn’t like one of her long, spun-out recaps of a funny dream or movie she’d seen.”  Annabel’s father also commented on the incident saying: “I can’t explain what happened to her physically while she was in that tree. All I have to go on is the radiological data and the medical records from before and after. The proof is in the pudding. She wasn’t well before and now she is.”

At the moment Annabel doesn’t display any symptoms of pseudo-obstruction motility disorder, a rare incurable condition that had seen her in and out of hospital since 2008. The disorder meant she had to have a liquid diet, or only eat plain, soft foods. She also took ten different types of medication each day.
