I’ve searched and the specific story OP recounted doesn’t appear to have a verifiable origin in documented medical literature or news reports. It seems to be a narrative that has circulated online, possibly as a modern urban legend or a piece of fictional storytelling. While there are documented cases of individuals regaining consciousness after prolonged periods and experiencing significant memory gaps, there is no credible evidence to support the sequence of events described in this account.
It was covered in an episode of Radiolab and they interviewed the guy who experienced all of this. I’m not invested enough to find a source but it’s definitely not an urban legend.
I’m also a stranger without a source, but I recall seeing a YouTube video about it years ago, either a news story or documentary. I don’t know if the exact numbers are right but I remember the other details. I’ll have to see if I can find it.
Update: no idea. Can’t find the original video. The one I remember, the guy had been awake the whole time but a nurse had figured out how to communicate with him through eye blinking, he remembers his mom’s senseless comment years previous. OP might be mixing stories. I do vaguely remember ghost boy though.
There’s no way that’s real, it’s an interesting concept though. Being trapped in your body and unable to interact with the outside world for decades would be horrifying.
Source?

But nobody clapped and no atheist tried to abort him and the holy spirit did not enter her at her weakest moment
25th Trimester is way too late to attempt abortion.
