Experience Description

My experience is as follows. I found myself in an emergency room full of doctors. They were wearing green masks over their mouth and a bonnet on their head with a smock. Typical Emergency Room attire. I was also wearing the same things and standing behind another doctor. I looked over his shoulder and saw me there on the Emergency Room bed. So, I went out the double doors leaving the Emergency Room, and found myself opening the front door of my house. I walked down the hallway to my bedroom. I stood at the foot of my bed where my wife was asleep. I reached down and shook her legs. She jumped up and called my name. The phone rang in the kitchen. She got out of bed and I let her pass by me. I followed her down the hall way as far as the front door. As she continued to go to the kitchen, I said I have to get back now and I love you. I went out the front door of our house and found myself on my back laying down with the doctors hovering over me. When my wife answered the phone, it was the hospital telling her that I am was at the hospital and for to come right away. That they were not sure if I was going to make it. After she got off the phone and leaving the kitchen, she noticed the front door was left open. She closed the door and got ready to go to the hospital.

My accident happened on Monday May 30, 1996 on Memorial Day. The roads were wet and the exit was under road construction with concrete barriers on both sides. The exit was posted forty-five miles an hour. There was a slight mist in the air. I hit a pothole and caused the front forks to collapse, bending the front forks in and locking the front tire into the exhaust pipes. I was thrown over the handle bars, flipping the bike over and the rear tire hit me in the back. Then I went unconscious. The Highway Patrol didn't release the police report for three months until the road construction was finished. They showed a diagram of the newly completed exit. While I was in the hospital, my wife got my 1982 Yamaha bike back from the Highway Patrol. I had her take pictures of my damaged bike. Showing the front tire smashed into exhaust tube.

I was released on 4 July 1996 from the hospital, for a one night stay home. My neighbors had fireworks in front of their house. So our family joined with theirs. Letting fireworks off in the street, my neighbor asked me what happened the night of my accident. And as I was telling him and his wife, my wife said I was dead on arrival and they were not sure I was going to make it or not. My neighbor jokingly asked if I had an out of body experience or saw a white light. I told him I didn't see a white light. But I did tell him and his wife about my out of body experience. This was the first time I had said anything to anyone about it. Even my wife and I had never talked about it prior. Then my neighbor asked my wife if she felt me touch her legs? My wife answered that she did feel me when I shook her legs and she woke up. She mentioned that then the phone rang in the kitchen. They mentioned how scary that must have been, but I said not really for me. I felt a peace and calmness about myself.

Now, I am a true believer that even though our body dies, that our spirit lives on. And I have a sixth sense now - That, I am telepathically connected to another person. And by the way, I don't take drugs, I was tested for drugs the night of my accident. I hope by sharing my out of body experience. That it might help others.
