Jason P FDE

Experience Description

I was surfing on a boogie board in Hawaii. The guy in front of me wiped out and didn't have the board leash secured, so his 6 foot (or more) long fiberglass board shot out of the water and landed right on my face/head.

I floated there bordering on consciousness in a huge pool of blood until I was poked by a huge tiger shark. Then the shark poked me again. That's when I had a life review, and was lifted out of the water by a faceless, glowing entity, and flown to shore in an instant. No one ever saw the entity but me.
