Carol Burnett reveals her ‘spiritual connection’ with late daughter
Carol Burnett has shared the powerful moment that “really opened up” her spiritual connection with her late daughter Carrie Hamilton RadarOnline.com can reveal.
Hamilton tragically passed away at the age of 38 in 2002 after a brutal battle with lung and brain cancer.
During a recent appearance on SiriusXM’s Where everyone knows your name podcast, Burnett, 92, candidly discussed the “out-of-body experiences” she and her daughter shared, as well as the signals Hamilton has been sending her from beyond the grave.
During their conversation, host Ted Danson told Burnett that he loved how she described “discovering later in life that you both experienced leaving your bodies when you were about the same age, 12 or 13.”
After Danson shared his own out-of-body experience, the 92-year-old revealed how she would practice “leaving” her body as a child.
“What I did as a kid, I would lock myself in – we had a little dressing room off the living room – my grandmother and I would sit there (there), and I would just look into my eyes and concentrate and concentrate,” Burnett explained.
“I would go up here and look down,” the actress said as he demonstrated how she hovered her hand above her body. “And then I got scared, and as soon as I got scared I said, ‘What is this about? What is this about?’ As soon as I did that, it came back.”
Burnett noted that she “couldn’t do it anymore,” but vividly remembered the first time she left her body and saw herself “over my right shoulder.”
When asked how she found out Hamilton could also leave her body, Burnett joked, “She came to me.”
“I think she was maybe a year or two younger (than 12) and she said, ‘Mom, something really strange happened,’” Burnett recalls. “And I (went) ‘What?’ and she said, ‘I left my body and could see myself.'”
She told her daughter, “Don’t worry, it happens. There are a lot of strange things.’
As the pair continued to discuss the “weird things” that happen in life, Burnett recalled another supernatural experience she shared with her late daughter.
“Well, I prayed on the plane,” the iconic star said. “I started when she remembered traveling to Chicago to attend auditions for her play, Hollywood weapons, which she worked on with Carrie. “And I said, ‘Carrie, I don’t know if I can finish this piece without you. Please give me a sign. Let me know you’re with me.'”
“So we land, we get to the hotel and we go in, and on the coffee table there’s a huge array of birds of paradise,” she continued. “And I looked at the card and it was from our director, Hal Prince.”
Burnett said when she called Prince to ask, “How did you know about the Birds of Paradise?” he explained that he only asked for “something exotic” to be sent to her room.
She noted that he did not know that Birds of Paradise was “Carrie’s favorite flower and that she had one tattooed on her shoulder.”
As if the bouquet of her daughter’s favorite flowers that greeted her at the hotel wasn’t enough of a nod to the universe, Burnett said she got another sign from Hamilton the next night at dinner.
After explaining how the maître d’ brought a free bottle of champagne, Burnett said she looked at the label and saw the name Louise, her mother and Hamilton’s middle names.
Burnett said that when she saw the label, she thought, “Oh, okay. She’s with me. It really opened me up.”
