Exclusive: Former Employee at Resort Where Madeleine McCann Went Missing Claims He Had a Dream of the Girl 18 Years Later — She ‘Told Him’ Where Her Body Was Hidden
In a bizarre and chilling twist to one of the world’s most enduring mysteries, a former employee at the Praia da Luz resort — where Madeleine McCann vanished in 2007 — has come forward with an extraordinary claim: he had a vivid dream in which the missing girl appeared to him, nearly 18 years after her disappearance, and revealed the precise location of her remains.
The man, who worked as a night porter at the resort, says the dream occurred just last week and was unlike anything he has ever experienced.
“She looked exactly as she might be now — older, but with the same eyes,” he told reporters. “She stood in front of me and said, ‘I’m here. They buried me where the light meets the sea.’ I woke up shaking.”
A Possible New Lead
The cryptic phrase has sparked frenzied speculation online, with some believing it could refer to a specific, secluded section of the resort grounds where old utility tunnels run close to the cliffside. The former porter claims he immediately contacted local authorities after the dream, despite not having been involved in the case for years.
Portuguese police have not confirmed whether they are actively searching the area described, but a source close to the investigation admitted the tip has been “logged and noted for potential follow-up.”
Skepticism and Hope Collide
While many have dismissed the claim as nothing more than a vivid imagination, others — including some long-time McCann case followers — see it as a possible breakthrough.
One retired investigator commented:
“It sounds far-fetched, but we’ve seen stranger leads in cold cases. Sometimes people remember or sense things years later that they couldn’t process at the time.”
The Family Has Not Been Informed
Sources say the McCann family has not yet been told about the dream, possibly to avoid raising false hopes. But with the location allegedly tied to an area never fully excavated, speculation is mounting that police may soon carry out a discreet search.
For now, the strange story has reignited public fascination with the case — and stirred painful memories of the little girl whose fate remains unknown.
