Hobart G Probable NDE

Experience Description

I was clinically dead for approximately 2 minutes according to first responders & my medical records. I had crashed my truck due after falling asleep while driving. I saw five ghostly beings that did not recognize. I remember a heavenly, peaceful feeling that was so overwhelming that I personally cannot describe the feeling. I never felt any type of pain whatsoever. I remember seeing myself in the driver's seat of the truck. After that, I remember seeing rotor blades of a helicopter.
