John P Probable NDE

Experience Description

I stuck a piece of metal into the electric socket and was standing on a metal furnace. The power had to be turned off, so that I could let go. I was grounded to the metal furnace. My body was on fire. I had swirling burn marks from the water and electricity flowing through my body.

Once I got to the hospital, I was placed in a metal tub with ice and some type of solution. My clothes were burnt to my skin and I could still fill the electricity going through my body. The pain was so great that I asked God to come, get me, and relieve me from the pain. It was terrible.

Then I began to rise up out of my body as a spirit. I could see over the top of my body and see all the doctors in the room looking at my lifeless body. I also saw my mother come into the hospital room screaming and crying. She was a nurse at the hospital at that time.

Then something or someone, I think it was God, said come into the light and my spirit began to lift higher into a place of white lights with bluish color surrounding. It was very cool and it took away the pain. I don't know how long I was gone and the next time I remember being in my body. I was at home wrapped in bandages over my whole body from head to toe.

Then when I was asleep in my bed with my sister in the room. I had the experience of a skeleton hand at the foot of my bed. I was screaming but the room was like a vacuum and no sound was coming out of my mouth. My sister was still asleep. The hand was glowing a fiery red and coming closer to me. Then I looked on the side of my bed and there was a white rocking horse. It told me to get on it. I think death was trying to come and get me. I got on the horse by crawling out of the bed and it flew me away into my future. I've always wanted to tell this story to someone but never shared this with my family.
