Madison T NDE

Experience Description:

On my way back I was in the tunnel - now filled with a very thick fog. I was in a horizontal position as if swimming. Looking down I could see the earth twelve to fifteen feet below me as if in a Plexiglas tube. Then saw my car upside down, wheels spinning, stereo blasting. I entered the car and saw my body. I made a deal to come back and entered my body through the forehead didn't fit - last joint of fingers and last joint of toes as if I was glove that was too big. I exited through the forehead, looked at that body and thought, you made a deal - so in again I went. This time a perfect fit. Looking around I realized that I wasn't one with the body yet - couldn't remember how to get it to breathe, so totally not a part of it yet. Then everything was crystal clear as I have never seen before - sharp vivid lines and colors - I got out of car. Next thing I remembered was going up to a phone booth and a man was there. I asked for a ride, told him I'd been in a wreck - he just happened to be calling it in and had stopped. He asked me who else was in the car. I told him only myself - he had tried to get me out and thought I was dead. I still question, how did I get to a phone booth at the same time the man in a car did. I have no memory from the time exiting my car and arriving at the phone booth.
