Family says human-like figure outside hospital room kept daughter alive

In Charlotte, even doctors and nurses say they have never quite seen anything like the image captured by a security camera showing a white, human-like figure outside the Presbyterian hospital room of 14-year-old Chelsea Banton.

In September, her mother Colleen said she was with a relative in a waiting room coming to terms with possibly removing Chelsea from life support, when her sister summoned her to look at a bright light in the form of an angel standing outside Chelsea’s room.

About an hour later doctors and nurses told Colleen, Chelsea’s vital signs were better than they had been since she came in for treatment for pneumonia.

Colleen said she has little doubt that an angel intervened and made it possible for her daughter to remain alive to celebrate her 15th birthday this Thursday, Christmas Day.
