Sure. One story I heard was about a man who had a heart attack while hiking alone. He felt his strength leaving him and started to see a bright light. But then, he remembered his family waiting for him at home. He managed to use his emergency beacon and was rescued. It was a very close call.
A diver once ran out of air deep underwater. He started to black out but in that moment, he saw flashes of his life. Just as he thought it was the end, his diving partner noticed his distress and shared his air supply. He said it was like being given a second chance at life.
A skydiver had a parachute malfunction. During his near - death experience, he reported that time seemed to slow down. He could recall every single moment in vivid detail. He also had a feeling of being detached from his physical body, as if he was observing everything from a different dimension. These elements are common in many near - death experience real stories.
Sure. There are medical - related near - death experiences like a patient who flatlined during surgery. They often report seeing a tunnel and a bright light at the end. Another type is accident - related. For example, someone in a bad car crash might feel themselves leaving their body and observing the scene. There are also stories from people who were in life - threatening situations due to natural disasters. In all these cases, the common thread seems to be a change in perspective towards life afterwards.
There was a story of a man from a small village in India. He was in a coma after a severe accident. During his near - death experience, he claimed to have visited a place filled with beautiful gardens and flowing rivers. He saw his deceased grandmother there who told him that he still had work to do in the world. He then felt a strong pull back to his body and eventually woke up. After waking up, he said he had a new - found sense of purpose and became more involved in his community, believing it was part of his unfinished 'work'.
Well, I know a story where someone had a near - death experience while mountain climbing. They slipped and thought they were going to fall to their death. But instead, they had a vision of a peaceful valley below. There was also a case of a woman who almost died during childbirth. She described seeing a bright star above her and feeling a sense of protection. Additionally, a man who nearly drowned in the ocean said he saw mermaids - like figures that led him to the surface.
There was a person who had a near - death experience while drowning. As the water filled his lungs, he suddenly found himself outside of his body, looking down at the pool. He saw his own body being pulled out. He then traveled through what felt like a starry space and heard beautiful music. Also, a firefighter once got trapped in a burning building. He described seeing a golden glow and feeling as if his deceased grandfather was there with him, giving him the strength to hold on until he was rescued.
One real near - death experience story is about a man who had a heart attack while driving. He said he suddenly felt this intense pain and then everything went black. But then he found himself floating above his car, watching the paramedics arrive. He could see everything clearly from that out - of - body perspective. It was really strange for him and it changed his view on life completely.
A friend of mine had a near - death experience while driving. His car's brakes failed on a steep hill. He was approaching a busy intersection. He had to quickly shift gears and use the emergency brake while swerving to avoid other cars. He narrowly missed crashing into several vehicles and finally came to a stop by hitting a fence. He said it felt like his life flashed before his eyes in those few seconds.
There's a story of a woman who had a NDE during a serious operation. She described leaving her body and traveling through a beautiful landscape filled with colors she had never seen before. She also heard a soft, melodious music in the background. In this state, she received a message about the importance of love and forgiveness in life, which completely transformed her attitude towards others when she recovered.
Some people believe they are. The elements like seeing deceased loved ones and the feeling of moving on to another realm seem to suggest an afterlife. But from a scientific point of view, there's no conclusive proof yet.
It's hard to say they are completely reliable. These experiences are very subjective. People might be influenced by their beliefs, fears, and the shock of the situation. However, many people are very sincere in their reports.
