Artist Akiane Kramarik, now 32, told Sean Hannity on the "Hang Out with Sean Hannity" podcast that she vanished for about seven hours when she was five years old in Missouri. She said she experienced a "zoomed out" perspective, seeing her family, police dogs and the neighborhood from an eagle‑eye view before everything went black.
Kramarik recalled that her mother could not locate her, her brothers searched the house, and neighbors called her father. Police arrived with search dogs and combed the area, fearing a possible kidnapping. She said a photo of her was displayed around town during the search.
According to Kramarik, her parents later told her the disappearance lasted roughly six and a half to seven hours. She described the episode as a journey through another realm where God showed her extraordinary sights and imparted knowledge, an experience she says lasted longer than the elapsed time.
The incident, which occurred when Kramarik was five, preceded her rise to fame as a child prodigy who painted the oil portrait "Prince of Peace" of Jesus at age eight, a work that brought her international recognition.
Kramarik added that the experience led her non‑religious parents to reconsider their beliefs. The full interview is available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and iHeartRadio.
