In a recent interview with Meltdown on Detroit’s WRIF radio station, Dorothy recalled witnessing her guitar tech come back from the brink of death to life. When asked if she ever encountered a paranormal activity, Dorothy mentioned the incident and said she saw the holy spirit after:
“It was a real experience. And I get crap from people, but I get a lot of people who understand who are believers. And I think that night I had a real encounter with the Holy Spirit. And at the time I didn’t know it was the Holy Spirit, but now I do, ’cause I’ve become more educated in my journey. I’ve come a little further in my journey and my walk with God.”
The rocker said she wasn’t Christian but she prayed a lot for his friend to come back to life:
“I didn’t get saved until I went to rehab in 2020. I checked in on Halloween and I had another radical encounter with the Holy Spirit there. And when God calls you, God calls you. Some people, God just calls ’em. Some people are searching. I just know that if you search and you reach out, you’ll get an answer. It might be immediately, it might take some time. And after that night on the bus. I knew, because I’d prayed the night before, ‘God, if you’re real, please show me.’ And he did. And I wasn’t a Christian. I wasn’t saved, but I knew without a shadow of a doubt, because of what I had experienced, that God was real. And that was a very tangible experience.”
What Caused The Near Death Experience?
Dorothy’s life changed about five years ago when she faced a life-and-death situation on her tour bus. After her guitar technician overdosed and seemed to be dying, Dorothy began praying for him. While he appeared to be dead, he was brought back to life as Dorothy and her crew formed a prayer circle around him. This experience felt like a personal rebirth for Dorothy.
She described what happened in another interview:
“I had a funny feeling about [the tech] from the beginning, I’ve got a pretty sensitive intuition. Well, it turns out that the poor guy picked up some heroin. He doesn’t drink, but he does drugs. We’re in the middle of the night on the highway, and one of the girls in our crew wakes me up and is like, ‘Hey, hey, hey, wake up, he’s not breathing.’”
She recalled seeing the ‘dead body’ and explained how he came back to life:
“I come out and see him and he’s blue and green, and I knew he was dead at the moment. I just knew it, I don’t know if anyone’s had this experience. I’m pretty sure you know a dead body when you see one. I’m just sitting there breathing and holding hands with my sound engineer. I’m like, ‘Whoever’s out there, just send him back. Give him another chance.’ After a few moments of silence, this voice said to me, ‘Okay, we’re sending him back now.’ And then I open my eyes, all the color had returned to his skin. He opened his eyes, and he was alive, and I couldn’t believe it.”
