Did the documents ever exist?  Isn't there even one piece of evidence? It does not appear that any exits.  Given [[Was William Branham Honest|William Branham's questionable credibility]], can we believe him?

There were 3 people raised from the dead:
In 1950, William Branham claimed there were 3 people raised from the dead in his ministry:


:''Just think, friends, that in the ministry that I have had from the Lord alone, I’ve seen many, many, many times more miracles performed than is written in the Bible, that Jesus Christ has done in these three years, in one unit, one group of His ministry. One group, He’s done more miracles than has been written in this Bible. Everything that could be written in the Bible except leprosy, that I know of, has been healed, even to '''three specific cases of people who were pronounced dead''', are living tonight, healthy and strong. Who did that? Jesus Christ. He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever. And He’s here tonight. And He, Jesus, was the Rock that was in the wilderness that followed the children of Israel.<ref>William Branham, 50-0827E - Take The Rod And Gather The People, para. 20</ref>

We have their names - Hattie Waldrop (Phoenix), Ralph Perry (Jeffersonville), and Kari Holma (Finland):


:''Now, that’s three times that I’ve seen that done. Maybe I can get to it later when Mrs. Hattie Waldrop here in Phoenix, and Ralph Perry at home. Now…That I mean’s been pronounced dead, laying out…This boy, when I started in… <ref>William Branham, 51-0719 - Who Hath Believed Our Report?, para. 42</ref>

Hold it... maybe one of their names was Mrs. Morgan?  Wouldn't you think you would remember the names of the people raised from the dead:


55 ...I know Mrs. Morgan, Mayos’ nurse, give up with cancer years ago, laying on the dead list right now. And go to Louisville, Kentucky, and look and see if she hasn’t died, eight years ago. And come over Jeffersonville Hospital and look at her nursing now. And so, she was supposed to have died eight years ago. Dead, done pronounced dead, and laying there yet still on the dead list in Kentucky, of cancer research. And then, when she was there, she felt sorry for that man, because he was—looked so much like her husband. And I seen a vision of him walking.

I have seen Him in my ministry of ten years heal tens of thousands of people, blind, crippled, twisted, lame, halt. I have seen Him raise three people up from the dead after they were pronounced dead, two of them in the United States and one of them in Helsinki, Finland. Why, I’m sure you have heard of that. It swept over the world. 3
It's still 3 people raised from the dead in this sermon from 1955:

205 And I could bring you statements to show of '''four different people, that, pronounced dead by doctors''', after prayer and rebuke of death. See? We stand in there to rebuke that thing. And if God gave you power to do something, you better be careful what you’re doing. See? You better be care-…He said, “Don’t…”
By 1960, it had gone up to 4 people:

371 I say this, with—with Christian sincerity. I suppose, if I could write down every instance that taken place that I have seen Christ do since I been a minister, I couldn’t pile a volume of books that high. I have witness of doctors’ statements, of '''five people being pronounced dead''', laid out dead, and come back to life again, by prayer. See? Many that they claim they did, and I—I couldn’t say that. I wouldn’t say it ’less there’s some way to prove it, you see, and to know it. But seen them, after being dead for hours, days.
