I was in a car wreck and I was ejected. The car landed on top of me and the paramedics could not find a pulse. 15 mins. later the wrecker came and got the car off. They said I took one deep breath came back to life!\nGod has a purpose for me that I had not accoplished yet!

Yes, it has happened in cases where nothing would show on any equipment and the heart had stopped. It is possible to be legally dead and brought back to life, but only in certain circumstances. Consider drowning. You can be legally dead from drowning, your heart stopped, but an electric charge will bring you back if done within a certain amount of time. There are alot of stories on this under 'near death experiences'. Look em up. Crazy stuff.

I've been in more than one. My family members are "ghost senstives" especially me and my mother. I saw the ghost of a little boy of about 6 years old and a mans shadow in a hat and I was hit on the leg in this one house in Pensacola and at another place there was the scent of lavendar perfume and I had a mirror hanging on the left wall that fell twice for no reason and both times it landed on the video case of the exorcist so I moved the mirror set to the other side of the room along with the video rack and once again the mirror fell and cracked the case for the exorcist tape. I took the hint and threw the tape out and the mirror did not fall again after that. When I saw the landlord I asked him if someone had died in the place and he told me no but then a neighbor had heard my story and she told me that an elderly woman had a heart attack out on the walkway and they brought her into the house where she died.  I see images and shadows in the older homes that I've lived in. There was this place that was almost a hundred years old that had sat empty for three years before we moved in and from day one there was an evil prescence felt and my mother was more attune that I was. The focus was in the attic. I always felt a darkness there and my mother said she'd looked up the stairs one day and saw a man sitting in a wheelchair just watching her and she closed the door. Then she said that she saw a woman come through the closed attic door and go around the corner and disappear. That was it for me and I made a cross and placed it over the attic door and my nightmares stopped as well as my mothers. My sister saw a head in the closet and in the dresser drawer.  That house was the worst of all and I was glad when we moved out of it!!

I was electrocuted at work a while back.  I was passed out when they pulled me down from the wires.  But I never lost my train of thought, I feel that I experienced the whole thing in real time.\n\nWhen the current grabbed me I felt the life quickly drain from my body, it occoured to me that this is how I am to die, and then I was moving at high speed down a river of florescent light, inside a canyon with tall dark walls.  My body kept feeling like when you go over the falls on a roller coaster.  After a time the walls of the canyons started to have faces, and the faces turned into my fellow workers staring down at me in horror, thinking I was dead.   But I was pretty much OK except for some deep burns.\n\nCould have been just the dieing process.  But I feel that it was my choice to live or die during that time.  \n\nI would say my time since then is pure bonus time.  But really our entire lives are bonus time.   I don't understand anything more about death, but I did learn to appreciate each moment of life, each life giving breath.

Ghost stories are Bull**it!!! I did watch someone die once. It was an extremely moving experience. The woman was dying of kidney failure (very painful)and was struggling quite a bit to stay alive.She was thrashing around and was in and out of consciousness for several hours. As the last moments approached I stared deeply into her eyes to see what was going on inside her mind (so to speak). What I saw really shook me quite a bit. In her eyes I saw a change taking place. As I looked I began to see other faces in her face. Not anything like a ghost, but more like a percieved image of all the people I have ever known. My parents, freinds and even my own face. I guess it was empathy or something, but I saw death and stared it in the face. I saw us all there. we are all of one "soul" I would say. All of lifes experiences will happen to us all ultimately. Enjoy it while you can. And keep in mind we are all the same. There are no seperations when it comes to "soul".

I've never seen one, but my son had an interesting experience which he's loathe to talk about to this day.  He was driving out to see a friend around ll:00 at night, when he saw a very large, very bright light in the sky above an empty field.  He became so frightened he had to pull over.  After what seemed like a few seconds, he continued on his way. When he arrived at his destination he found he'd been on the road for over an hour longer than it should have taken him to drive to his friend's.  He forgot all about it until the next time, months later, when, driving by the same field, he became unexplicably filled with terror.  He shook so hard he could barely drive.  He had this same irrational fear come over him every time he passed that field, so he simply found another route.  I encouraged him to try to find out more about it, but he says it's too scary & weird & he'd rather not investigate, preferring not to know what happened.  I do believe we are not alone in this infinitely vast universe.  I only wish I could prove it!  If there are ET's, I hope they show themselves in MY lifetime.  I'd love to know the truth!

I have never "met" a ghost but I know I have "experienced" one. My mother inlaw died and I was at a babyshower of a woman she knew well.  After most the guest left, the four remaining women were sitting at a table when a box of detergent flew off the laundry shelf onto the floor....powder went everywhere.  All the women were standing in the kitchen while the hostess cleaned up the powder and when we returned to the living room their were footprints on the carpet!  Nobody had left the kitchen and there weren't any other people in the home at the time....We all knew at once who had come to the party.

In spite of having nearly died on several occasions, I still can't say that I can honestly answer this question to you or to myself.\n\nIn a couple of cases, my transition from conscious to unconscious and near death was so swift that I had no time for "conscious" fear, although what I experienced between "slipping away" and being resuscitated was at the least interesting and at the worst extremely distressing.\n\nWhen I drowned, I had some of what we loosely call near death experiences.  I became calm, unaware of any bodily sensation, and the last thing I saw with my eyes was the water around me, which seemed peaceful.  Then I was somewhere else, witnessing scenes from my early childhood (I was eleven at the time). Then there was a scene where I was a child playing in our back yard, and my mother came to the back door, called my name and told me to come back, that it was not time for me to go. This scene was followed by a state of complete terror, and a confused kind of semiconsciouness -- best I can describe it.  That was the point that where my rescuers reached me.  What followed after that was best described as total pandemonium, and I was told later that at that point I was fighting the rescuers and almost pulled one down with me.  He told me that he was so exhausted that he feared for his life.  He had sprint-swimmed over 100 meters to reach me, and when I struggled it sapped his remaing energy.  Fortunately, there were two who came to my aid, and the second was able to help restrain me. They got me to shore, and I had coughed out a lot of water and was breathing again.  All three of us were unable to stand for several minutes -- our knees were like rubber.  The one who I nearly took down with me, he is my brother.  We never spoke of this to our parents or anyone, and for years never spoke of it ourselves.  \n\nMore recently, I was hospitalized for a severe pulmonary illness.  I stopped breathing twice in the ER.  Both events were horrible experiences.   I convulsed and felt like every fiber of my being was being ripped apart.  During one of the events, I felt that I was literally torn from my body and pulled upwards by an invisible force.  All the while I was fighting (in my mind) to exert all my will to force myself not to die, to start breathing again.  I had no other thoughts except one -- this is really going to suck if I die like this, right now.\n\nI'm still here, and I hope I stick around awhile.  I am more aware of my mortality than I'd reckon any average person may be, but I still cannot honestly say if I "fear" death or not.  All I can say is I now accept its inevitability, and in that sense, I no longer dread it.  So, maybe I don't fear it. \n\nWhat I do fear is leaving life before I feel ready.  I'm still relatively young, and feel I have things to be done ere I go.

Yes, I have had an out of body experience, but I didn't go to heaven or hell.  I had a very bad automobile accident, and was rushed to hospital by ambulance with sirens screaming etc.  When we got to the hospital casualty staff were waiting and the ambulance personnel quickly got me out of the ambulance and rushed me into the emergency section.  I was fully conscious (I think, but I have never discussed this with anyone so I'm not sure now).  Anyway, as the ambulance guy pushed my stretcher at full speed into the casualty section - I found myself on the ceiling above the stretcher.  As he and other people rushed the stretcher along a corridor, I bounced up and down on the uneven bricks in the ceiling.  I felt incredibly nauseas.  Then we rushed into an emergency room where there was a doctor.  As we came to a stop, I came down onto the stretcher again.  The doctor prodded and poked etc, but the whole time he was doing it I couldn't really open my eyes, because there was a window behind me and the full noon sun was streaming through it and it hurt my eyes it was so bright.  Then I asked the doctor to close the curtains or blinds on the window and he was perturbed and gestured and I managed to turn around a little and there was just a blank brick wall (ordinary room wall) behind me.  The light was gone the moment I looked and the room was so drab and dark compared to before.  I have no explanation for all of this, but it does make me wonder sometimes.  I obviously survived the accident - I still have scars but I came out amazing well considering.  The doctor in the emrgency room repeatedly told me 'you have been very lucky'.  Was there an angel there?  I often wonder.

I had always believed in God because I was taught this through the religion my family raised me with. Yet as I got older I started to find other philosophical answers and I am more of a spiritualist now rather that say follow a religion.  Yet I had a near death experience in 2001 and saw a place that my ethereal body was heading for which gave me complete understanding that there is life after death and God is that maker of life and light/love. Without believing in God in this life creates a lesser understanding of the next one.

No real experiences I can share....but I almost died twice: once when I was little and once while having surgery when my blood pressure and heart rate dropped to 0.

One time on a camping trip, a witch and I created a psychic link which allowed us to keep tabs on each other without needing those family band radios.\n\nPersonally, I do spiritual healing with singing bowls. I play the bowl in someone's hand, and feel the vibrations as they extend through the person, and can tell them where the vibrations are and what they're doing.\n\nI used to work with a Reiki master who could tell people many details about their lives while we were doing our energy work. Very specific things\n\nOne time on a camping trip, we felt a spirit near the bon-fire. We had a ring of 40 tiki-torches around the bonfire. It was a still and windless night, but all the tiki flames near the spirit bent in. One of the people in the circle had a fancy camera. After the campout she went to get the film developed, and all the photos from before the visitor turned out, but after that all the film was blank. She took the camera in to be repaired. The repairman asked if she'd been in a nuclear power plant. All the innards were fried from electromagnetism\n\nMy grandmother died while my niece was in utero. After my niece was born, she would look up at areas where no one was standing, and laugh and giggle. We all knew that she was looking at gramma, so we never showed her any pictures. Finally, at about a year old, she could speak, and my sister showed her the family photo album. My niece picked out her photo and said, "That's Old Gramma."\n\nMost of the people I associate with these days are spiritual mediums/fortune tellers

A Near Death Experience is caused by many factors, including oxygen deprivation to your brain as well as the cocktail of drugs in your system. This produces hallucinations and the visions that you conceptualise are in accordance with your cultural and religious beliefs. Example, If you believe that Mickey Mouse is god you will not see Donald Duck in your N.D.E.

Since I was a child I've had both good and scary experiences. The one that stands out is when I was around 13 I went to go to bed one night when I turned the light off I heard this strange breathing. Thinking it was my brother I quickly turned the light on and of course I was alone. I looked through my room, down the hall but still I was alone. I went back to my room turned the light off and got into bed. The breathing began but know it was right next to my ear. I felt the bed depress like someone sat down. I was petrified with fear. This went on want seemed like hours but it all happened within 5 minutes. Finally a large white orb appeared and out of that an angel appeared and when that happened whatever it was left. I jumped out of bed and went to my parents room and there I stayed for a week. The strange thing is my Mom had the same experience two weeks later.

Marko F,\nYes. I have had at least one of those. It was before I became Christian, and I was above my body for a few seconds, I could see/sense my body a foot or two below my spiritual body. \n\nYou know, some people might come to some other conclusion, but what it did for me, after I found out what the f' it was, was that there was no longer any doubt for me that there was a spirit living in me, my spirit.\n\nSo without that major block (for some) out of the way, I could then attempt to find out what it all meant. If there was more to life than what we could normally see, how much more was out there, and was there a purpose to it all, or and order to it all?\n\nYears later I became convinced that IF the Bible was true, I could pray a prayer and recieve an acceptance from God, who would otherwise be against me. And so I tried it when I was alone, and that was a VERY eventful thing! I don't know if I was in my body or not, but I ended up in a place where things were different than the dark bedroom that I was in. And there were others there too. I think that it was heaven, and it was a large enough place, I couldn't see God, but the peace was perfect, and the others were doing whatever they set out to do (I think that it didn't have anything to do with me.) I was there to witness heaven, but I don't know why, though I certainly am thankful for it. Who wouldn't be? lol\n\nI had flying dreams too. They were more like the type of flying that is portrayed in Peter Pan. Where the trees below were at arms reach at times, and there were others with me, not that I knew them. I also don't know where we were going.\n\nBut I am so glad to have been a part of those experiences. \n\nI hope that helped you.
