Mum who ‘dies’ three times a month claims she’s met Jesus, Walt Disney during out-of-body episodes
>
It’s a question scientists have wondered for decades: Will we ever be able to communicate with the dead?
But for Beverley Gilmour, this isn’t just a concept spread by sci-fi blockbusters. It’s her reality.
Because the 57-year-old, who suffered a traumatic brain injury at the age of 20, claims to have met Walt Disney during an out-of-body experience.
Still, her encounters don’t end there. The mother of three, from Birkenhead, has also developed a “private relationship” with Jesus since her first bizarre encounter in the 1980s, she claims.
Mrs. Gilmour suffers the experiences about three times a month.
The 57-year-old got these episodes in 1987 and has since claimed to have met some interesting ghosts
Beverley Gilmour, 57, from Birkenhead has revealed to the MailOnline that she believes she has up to three near-death experiences every month
Mrs. Gilmour is not religious, but claims to have been visited by Jesus during her frequent near-death experiences
Ms Gilmour said she has had detailed interactions with the ghost Walt Disney, who she claims shares stories from the afterlife with her
She claims that doctors have diagnosed her with a disorder of consciousness – the umbrella term used to refer to people in a coma and a vegetative state.
Patients with these conditions are usually unable to communicate, although this can vary depending on the extent of the condition.
Out-of-body experiences, however, are a well-known but poorly understood phenomenon.
While the exact causes may vary, some experts believe brain disorders and traumatic brain injuries may cause them.
Mrs. Gilmour describes her own experiences, claiming during them that she feels her heart stop and her body slowly begin to shut down.
She said she then feels herself physically leaving her body before having her interactions with the deceased.
Ms. Gilmour is now in talks with academics from the Coma Science Group at the University of Liege in Belgium to collaborate on a doctoral study into why this is happening to her.
Ms Gilmour, who is not religious, shared her experience with MailOnline and said: ‘I met Jesus.
“I brought things with me and then I go into a trance and start writing.”
The self-proclaimed spiritualist described her relationship with Jesus as “private.”
Ms. Gilmour also said she has had interactions with Walt Disney, who died in California in 1966
“He showed stories and when I met him,” she said.
“There was a great building and the wood felt alive and well preserved.
“When I came back, I would go back into a trance and write down his stories and draw pictures of everything he showed me.
“He showed me these characters and I became one of his characters and lived out one of his stories.
“I sat down and listened to him and he showed up with these characters and he told me the names of these characters and their personalities and what they did in life, where they came from and their origins.”
Mrs. Gilmour also claims to have met her late parents during these episodes.
Her father, John Gilmour, died of cirrhosis of the liver in his fifties after suffering from alcoholism.
She is now in talks with academics from the Coma Science Group at the University of Liege, Belgium to start a PhD exploring why this is happening to her
Ms Gilmour said this started around the same time she suffered a brain injury
She said, ‘The first time I met him he looked like 52, and that’s when he died. The second I met him, he looked about 30.
“He looked so happy and so radiant. I was so proud that he was my father when I came back from that.’
Mrs Gilmour describes another experience with her late father, saying: ‘I saw him and it was all white around us. He spoke to me but looked at my side and he said ‘learn to do what your Beverley is told’ and that’s all he said,’ she said.
“I came out and was like ‘is that it, no lottery numbers daddy?’
The aspiring researcher said her experiences don’t always make sense at first and it may take her some time to understand afterwards.
