Sam B Probable NDE

Experience Description

Well it started on a week end I went to the cinema in the afternoon with my uncle and cousins. When I came out of the cinema, I had a very bad head.

That evening my mum and dad took my brother and me to my Nan's house for the weekend. I still felt ill that night. My mum thought I was because I had eaten so much junk food in the cinema that day.

Well the next morning maybe around 10:00 am my mum and Nan walked up the road to the small local corner shop. I went with them. As we walked into the shop, I asked my mum to hold me in her arms as I felt really strange and weak. She thought I was being lazy and just didn't want to stand around waiting in the shop. Then all of a sudden, I passed out and hit the floor. The next thing I knew I was in my Nan's bed violently throwing up.

The local doctor was called and when he came up to see me he picked up some of what I had been throwing up and said, 'This is the lining of his stomach. Get this boy to hospital NOW!' With that, my dad picked me up in his arms and me got into the back of my granddad's car and rushed me off to the hospital. On the way to the hospital, our car was pulled over by the police for speeding but when my dad showed me to the policemen, we had a fast police escort to the hospital.

While in the car in my dad's arms, he had to keep slapping me to keep me awake. Once at the hospital my lips where blue and veins had collapsed and they couldn't get a needle in to me. They tried a few times and had no luck and I was drifting further and further away. That's when I was in the tunnel. I was myself lying on my back as though I was standing alongside my body. As I lay there looking up into the light it was a CALM feeling -- no fear whatsoever, just calm and an understanding of what was happening. As I stood there, I could see myself slowly rising up staring right into the light. Wow I can see it just like yesterday!!! Since then I feel at one with many things that other people don't realize; such as sounds; feelings like I can feel how someone else is feeling like a kind of heat that you would feel when standing close to a fire or a radiator. And I can expand my mind kind of in a way that I can see things from a different angle; it's hard to explain without sounding nuts.

Well there is more but I think I've gone on long enough. Hope this makes sense to someone. Bye, Sam.
