Giancarlo N NDE

Experience Description

I was travelling by bike when I was hit by a car which continuing its run literally climbed on me causing me several fractures including the most serious cervical fracture of the 4th and 5th. During the investment, I was dead. A few minutes later (I think minutes) I saw myself from above and the car raised by the tow truck, a nurse, who then I identified at the hospital, who tried to revive me, and a priest who gave me the last rites on the street.

Then I saw a huge bright light that was not blinding, indeed very nice. I saw a kind of obstacle and then the return at a speed rate that you cannot describe. I was shouting my dissent while I was running through a tunnel and finally the revival. I again went into a coma at the hospital during my hospitalization but I have never seen again the light.

Let me know if in your database there are stories from people who have had NDE experiences and were born by c'sarean section, because if it is so, I am not able to tell if it is God or something ancestral but I would say, considering what I experienced, certainly this is not at all.

At any time in your life, has anything ever reproduced any part of the experience? No

Is there anything else that you would like to add about your experience? Let me know if in your database there are stories from people who have had NDE experiences and were born by ceasarean section, because if it is so, I am not able to tell if it is God or something ancestral but I would say, considering what I experienced, certainly this is not at all.

Are there any other questions that we could ask to help you communicate your experience? I do not know.
