I had knee surgery, where the doctors replaced a small knee insert with a complete part. The operation took five hours and I was under a general anesthesia. The day after the operation, I developed a high temperature and then the experience occurred. I knew I was dying but also realised that the frantic activity … Read more

It was mid-afternoon, about 2:30 pm. I was in parachute training and practising a high altitude jump. We were leaving the airplane at about 50,000 feet and had free fall for quite some time. We were instructed to start our parachute procedures at 1000 feet. When my altimeter read 1050 feet, I got ready to … Read more

I experienced a sudden heart attack and was flat-lined in the emergency room. I left body and floated above it while observing the fruitless efforts of the many people below who were trying to revive me.

The experience happened in 1985. I can get panicky with my face in the water, so two of us decided to find a shallow place to walk across the Rio Grande rather than swim from Big Bend National Park to Mexico. The water was crystal clear, the sun was bright, and I could easily see … Read more

I was on my way home while riding my bicycle. I had just ridden over a bridge that passed over a reservoir. Suddenly, I felt so unclean inside. The next moment, I saw a rock about the size of a fist on the road as my front wheel hit the rock. I went flying over … Read more

t’s been 16 years since my experience and for many years I wasn’t able to talk about it out of fear of judgment. I’ll do my best to remember as much detail as I can, athough much knowledge has faded away at this point. I also need to state that although this NDE is associated … Read more

I was 16 when I decided to take my own life through a drug overdose. My clinical depression and borderline personality disorder had spiraled out of control. I lay down on my bed, swallowed a bottle of pills, and felt my consciousness slip away. I woke up in a place that felt like Oz. It … Read more
