He shot himself just weeks before, but grieving Mindy McCready swore her dead boyfriend David Wilson came back to visit her from the afterlife, and Breaking Celebrity News has exclusive audio of her making the shocking claim.

Just days before she too committed suicide last Sunday, the country singer told her close friend Danno Hanks the 34-year-old music producer’s spirit had come back to their Arkansas home.

And the mom-of-two said the couple’s dogs saw him too!

“You know I haven’t told anyone this,” she said. “Not one person, but he was here. He was in my room last night.

“The dogs started whimpering and whining and barking and the lights were up a little bit and they were looking at a certain direction and Kissy – which is David’s dog, make no mistake he’s David’s dog – he was here.

“They weren’t scared. They were just…they were so excited, maybe. I don’t even know what to say.

“They were happy to see him.”

Spookily Mindy said the couple had been looking at the film What Dreams May Come roughly a week before David killed himself on January 13.

Starring Robin Williams and Cuba Gooding Jr. the 1998 movie follows the story of a dead man who struggles to reconnect with his wife – who committed suicide – from the afterlife.

After seeing that film – and in light of David’s death – Mindy told Danno she was not surprised that she, as she claimed, reconnected with his spirit.
