According to the news, he doesn’t know the person who touched his shoulder
this happened in Turkey.
The guy in the video is a shop owner, it was closing time so he was putting his stuff back inside. in the interview he says while doing that work some guy whom I don't know tapped my shoulder and said "look behind you". I was puzzled, turned around saying "what's there" then I saw the latch coming. If that guy did not warn me the Latch would hit me and I probably wouldn't be here.
he also says he turned around to thank the guy but he was not there, as if he was vanished

Re: Devas?!
Are good hearted ghosts mentioned in the canon? Hungry 'shades' abound in it. Casper the Friendly Ghost is not canon, but my ideal of a ghost.

Devas, angels, whatever intrigue me. When I read the Awakening story - I'd say we all have a huge debt of gratitude owed to them.
The Buddha awoke - said 'hells bells I ain't teaching that inferno' and a Deva, not just any Deva, intervened so that we may discuss here the Buddhas teachings.
Sadhu!

Re: Devas?!
Petas are very miserable definitely a deva.
money is worthless toilet paper • the tongue has no bone (a person might say one thing but it cannot be further from the truth) • you cannot teach a goat math as in you cannot teach the dhamma to a dumb person
