Well, I know of a story where a woman had a heart attack. She said she entered a realm filled with soft, warm light. She saw figures that she believed were angels. They seemed to communicate with her without words, just a sense of love and comfort. Another story involves a surfer who was caught in a huge wave. He thought he was going to die. But then he had an experience of time slowing down. He saw his whole life flash before his eyes in an instant and then was miraculously thrown to safety by the wave.
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 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.
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.

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'.
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.
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.
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.
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.
One well - known book is 'Life After Life' by Raymond Moody. It was one of the first to popularize the concept of near - death experiences and contains many accounts that are both fascinating and thought - provoking.
One common element is the feeling of leaving the body. People often report seeing themselves from above the situation. Another is the presence of a bright light, which is usually associated with a feeling of peace and love. Also, many mention seeing loved ones who have passed away, as if they are there to guide or comfort.
In a flood, a woman was trapped on the top floor of her house as the water kept rising. She watched helplessly as the water reached the second floor. She climbed onto the roof and waited for rescue.

There was a man who had a heart attack while driving. His car swerved off the road and crashed into a tree. He said that as he was losing consciousness, he felt like he was floating above his body and could see the wreckage. He heard a loud ringing in his ears and thought it was the end. Then, suddenly, he was jolted back to life when paramedics arrived and revived him. This near - death experience was terrifying as he was so close to not making it.
