When a mysterious stranger appeared from nowhere to push her car out of danger, she turned to thank him—but he had vanished into thin air. From near-death experiences to deathbed visions, these are the true stories of people who believe they've encountered their guardian angels in moments when they needed them most.

IN THIS EPISODE: If you ever missed death by an inch, and you believe you had a little help, you may be one of many people with guardian angel stories. Even for nonbelievers, a brush with real guardian angels is an encounter with the uncanny, proof of entities in the world beyond your line of sight. That's why real guardian angel stories, such as the ones I will share in this episode, are so creepy; even if it ends as a positive experience, it leaves you with a lot of lingering questions. Most people believe real guardian angels protect people from harm, but that doesn't make them less unnerving. After all, if angels truly are real, then so are the demonic forces they seek to protect people from.
