The Healing of Florence Nightingale: William Branham Fabrications

From 1951 to 1965, William Branham claimed to have healed the great-great-granddaughter of the late Florence Nightingale. Branham's campaign team produced a photograph of a very malnourished female, eerily similar to the photographs that were quickly spreading of Jews in concentration camps of Nazi Germany. The Branham campaign team claimed that the photograph was authentically a descendant of Florence Nightingale and that William Branham had healed her.

The problem? Florence Nightingale had no children; the pioneer of modern nursing refused to marry in favor of her career.

The healing of "Florence Nightingale" is an example of William Branham's embellishment of the events in his stories for what appears to be public attention and sympathy. There were many details of Branham's story that were untrue. Branham claimed that Nightingale was the founder of the Red Cross, a humanitarian network that was actually founded by Henry Dunant. Voice of Healing later corrected Branham, admitting that the woman in question was "Miss Florence Nightingale Shirlaw". Branham further embellished the story with additional details, such as a dove in the window, the "Crown" arranging the meeting, and wrapping the story in an alleged prophecy.
