See the video of Rabbi Mintz from Yeshiva of Staten Island and Oorah fame, asked about this in a Q&A session. He says every few years one of these characters pops up. They might have been delirious or hallucinating (lekaf zechus, as opposed to setting up an attention-getting hoax) but it is not something to believe. Dismissed, the end. I would also like to add the principle of Lo bashamayim he, which means it is not important to hold by the info from someone reporting from Shamayim even if it did happen, because our source for behavior and conduct and belief is Torah MiSinai.
