NYC woman says pastor told her to carry her dead baby for days. They promised to ‘resurrect’ them for money: ‘I was gullible’

A TikTok creator is sharing claims that a pastor convinced her to carry her dead baby for three days after promising the child would be resurrected.

The clip doesn’t attempt to explain the alleged events. Instead, TikTok creator Kimoree Vaughan appears on screen alongside text that reads, “Me getting ready for my Netflix documentary after a pastor made me carry a dead baby for 3 days, promising to resurrect them for money.” The post concludes with another line that reads, “I was gullible.”

Rather than recounting the experience, Vaughan frames it as the kind of story people associate with streaming documentaries. The caption is the only context she provides, leaving little information beyond her brief description.

Many readers couldn’t believe what they had just read

Claims involving religious leaders often draw scrutiny online, particularly when they involve promises of extraordinary outcomes. Similar conversations emerged around allegations connected to the 7M Films and Shekinah church, which later became the subject of a Netflix docuseries.

The story left many commenters struggling to process what they had read. The top-liked comment read, “Trend over, you need to call Netflix fr sis.” The remark received more than 182,000 likes. Another person admitted they weren’t sure how to react, writing, “I purposely don’t want to comprehend this.”

Not every response was one of disbelief. Others offered sympathy instead. One person commented, “Have mercy! He was part of the occult. I’m so so sorry for your loss.”

Vaughan does not provide additional details in the video, nor does she identify the pastor she references. The post consists entirely of the brief caption and her acknowledgment that she was, in her words, “gullible.”

Her story also reflects how moments of grief can leave people placing immense trust in those they believe can help. While many commenters joked about the Netflix reference, others returned to Vaughan herself, expressing condolences and hoping she has found some measure of peace after what she says she experienced.
