Perth tradesman and former British soldier, Peter Coghlan, suffered a major stroke in his early 30s.
He was plunged into a coma and experienced terrifying, hellish hallucinations.
When he woke, Peter found he could see and hear the people around him, but couldn't move or say anything.
He was diagnosed with Locked-In Syndrome; and for months, could communicate only by blinking his eyes.
Despite the grim prognosis he was given, Peter's powerful determination helped him recover his speech and movement in record time.
