Kyle M NDE

Experience Description

I used to be one of those people who pass out at sight of blood, but I'm not that way too much anymore. I was cutting meat, and the knife went into my hand and then way down into the meat, and the bleeding was hard to stop. I had a hard time finding a rag to hold pressure on the cut. I was bleeding pretty good and started to feel weak and faint. I sat down in the truck and passed out. I'm not sure if I quit breathing.

I started traveling fast towards something, and, real or not, I think it was hell. I saw a dark, rugged, rocky landscape with tall, jagged rocks sticking up all over. In the distance, there was a giant orange glow with dark streaks going up. I found myself looking into a sort of giant cave entry with enough room for everybody. When I came to, I was sweating profusely. I was terrified and didn't know where I was. Nothing like this had ever happened to me before.
