Struck by Lightning Through His Guitar: What He Saw on the Other Side | Justin Claphan

Lightning hit Justin Claphan through his guitar, mid-song, in a basement in Ohio. It’s on video. Everything went black, then bright white. He crossed a threshold, saw his late grandfather, and heard “He’s not ready yet.” Dr. Motley walks through the strike, the near-death experience, the day and a half he couldn’t feel his body, and the faith that came after. Plus the rare condition behind his paralysis, and the amp mistake every guitar player should avoid. Crisis support: call or text 988.
