K.C. NDE

Experience Description

I was hit in the head with a bottle. I fell onto the corner of a worktop, smashing my head even more. I got up and collapsed in the street. It was night. I lay face down. Then I heard a voice in my head saying, 'If you don't get up, you're going to die here. You have to get up!' I was thinking that I don't want to die here. On my own, I got up somehow and stumbled down the street. I remember walking a while. The next thing I recall was looking down at someone huddled in a corner of a messy room. I couldn't see the face of the person. I felt calm, no pain. I said or thought, 'Who is that?' A hazy grayish greenish light lit up this corner. It was me! I went towards the corner and suddenly I was gasping, shaking, and scared. I was in the corner. I got up. I was in a garden shed. I had made it home. They told me I was gone for eight hours and the temperature outside was minus three. I had a tee-shirt on.
