People Reveal the Near-Death Experiences That Changed Them Forever

This person’s mother died for about two minutes while giving birth. She later described a strange out-of-body experience that began with an ordinary detail: she remembered “staring at the clock.” Then her perspective suddenly changed, and she was looking down at herself from farther away.

She said it felt “as if she was floating above her body,” and from that distance she saw “lots of blood.” There were no figures, voices, or bright lights in the story. She was not deeply shaken by it, but kept it as a story she told over time.
