She just loves that "New God" smell [View all]


‘Fox & Friends’ guest claims she smelled God during near-death experience


A guest on Tuesday morning’s episode of “Fox & Friends” told host Gretchen Carlson that she could actually “smell” the Christian deity figure during a near-death experience that’s since inspired her to write a book.

“What does God look like?” Carlson asked Crystal McVea, author of the new book Waking Up in Heaven: A True Story of Brokenness, Heaven, and Life Again.

“I saw an immense brightness,” McVea said, recounting the hallucinations she experienced after an accidental drug overdose given by an anesthesiologist stopped her heart. “A brightness I could feel, taste, touch, hear, smell, that infused me. Not like I had five senses, but maybe like I had 500 senses.”

She added that the Christian deity spoke to her without using words, but she didn’t remember the conversation other than her supposed refusal to return to earth when prompted to. “When I came back I was only allowed to remember a few things,” McVea said.
