Edwin NDE

Experience Description

It was accidental. While changing a light bulb in the toilet, I was later informed that I had suffered a severe electric shock of two hundred and forty volts. I was informed that due to the electrocution; I had fallen of the ladder, and had hit my head on the toilet bowl. I believe I actually left my body in the toilet. However, I did follow it to the hospital and watched in awe, as my body lay limp, while ambulance officers and doctors attempted to revive me. I was aware of other 'spirits' around me. Some were grey in color, while others were transparent like myself.

After ten minutes, I was pronounced dead by the doctors, it was however thirty minutes later, according to the records that I 'recovered'.
