Kelly NDE

Although it was 5 years ago, I remember it like it was yesterday. I had this feeling like something or someone was dragging me down - trying to pull me under the hospital bed. It was very dark in the room. There was a window that overlooked the city outside, but when I tried to look at it everything was black.

Then I heard a noise like a swooping sound like a large pair of wings. I still had that feeling of being sucked down and it was overwhelming. I saw myself in the bed I was about 12 inches over my body. I heard a very low tone. I looked down to my feet and saw a being there. I felt negative feelings surrounding me. The being looked at me, with its red eyes and large wings. The being opened his wings and the wings engulfed the entire room.

It said, "We need you and the powers that you have."

I saw myself shaking my head and telling it that I had too much to live for. I had two young children to raise and that no power in this world or any other for that matter would take me from my children. At that point, the feeling of being sucked down got stronger and I kept trying to fight it. It felt like a very long time that I fought, but the next thing I remember is a nurse standing at my bed trying to wake me and yelling my name.

This took place three nights in a row. Every night I saw this large being. Every night I fought him with all the strength I had at the time. It was like the being knew I was weak and that was why he came to me to see if I could fight.
