I nearly drowned in a community pool once when I was a teenager.

Curious about that kind of stuff...but nope.

Unless you count the calm that comes when you get close enough to almost touch it.

Were you saved or did you save yourself?

Yeah, but I have one more crazy week of work before summer break. I will post then. I am too exhausted right now

I was born dead.  The nurse exclaimed, "Oh my G-D!  The baby's black."  My mother thought that was odd since she'd had sex with her husband, who was white.

I once smoked rollups made from discarded fag ends I found in the garden because I ran out of cigarettes and all the shops were shut.

I have had ECT and apparently the brain flatlines on the EEG when they (the doctor) induce the seizure. In my experience, there was nothing there and I didn't have an OBE or anything like that. There was nothing and then I would wake up with a big headache.

That's amazing. How did you manage to pull through? What was the experience like? :popcorn:

I knew someone whose dad temporarily was dead and he found himself floating around the top of the hospital room watching those operating on him.

So what happened here?

Might not have been death but it would not have been good.   I was on top of scaffolding three stories up laying on my back working on a ceiling when the builder taking down part of it on the other side of the room caused that half to fall and everything to shift.  The planks I was on ended up coming with in an inch of falling off also.  At least one of the planks that fell from the other side punched through the flooring into the basement

Sorting archeological stuff at the base of a quite high dike/levee when a car with a long trailer lost control on the road at the top of said dike. The combination started to "scissor". We had no time to run. Luckily the trailer swung the other way again and car and trailer ended in the water at the other side of the dike. The driver came out unharmed.

She didn't come back. Have posted about it here before, so didn't find any urgency in repeating. Also a bit curious of the intent of the thread title; wondering if the expectation is stories of close calls, or more along the lines of: there was a tunnel and a light. That's what near death experiences are, like Funwithmatches' story about her dad's out of body floating. Have died but not experienced anything like that.

Actually that is possible. I dunno, I found it funny cos I thought it was a mistake.

OBE wasn't my dad but someone I knew at college whose dad had one.

Yes.

Had two accidents before the age of six, one a skull fracture, the other an accidental drug overdose, resulting in two individual comas and one actual death.

Scary. Do you remember things from those experiences?

It's hard to say, because of being so young, to know if it's real memory or knowing the story all my life. Though yes, do have memories, just no memory of death experience. Was playing hide and seek in the dark with cousins though don't remember running into anything. Had a lot of stomach problems as a kid and decided to seek meds on my own one day and took the wrong ones. Do recall taking the meds, but don't remember going back and taking more. Also remember waking up in the hospital because it really bothered me to be told I had been asleep for two weeks. The hospital seems like a real memory because it's not something someone else could have told me.

Girlfriend fell out the window of a car cruising and caved the back of her head in, was in a coma for weeks. I think they may have induced at the later stages just to keep her still, no one knew if she would make it during the first week.

She told me how she heard people talking to her on occasion and not much more, but she remembered one "dream" in particular  that was "so real it wasn't like a dream" where her cousin came up to the house on his quad...she was so happy to see him, she said she ran off the porch and hugged him tight, then went to climb on the back of the quad and go for a ride like always. He stopped her though, and said very seriously "you can't come this time", she protested, and he said firmly "NO!, you have to stay here, next time"...and then rode off. 

The kid had been dead for a couple years prior, some old coot didn't like him riding through the empty, un-owned, field in back of his house and shot him on the quad. He was 15.

Yeah. He was riding with a friend too. The guy just shot at both of them. I don't know who was on back, I think him. Hit him in the hip, I guess hit an artery, they didn't get there fast enough.

...anybody have near-death experiences to share?

I drowned in fifty degree water while heading out to fish near the confluence of the Arroyo Colorado. If my fishing buddy had not pulled me from the water and revived me, called 911, etc. I would certainly have died that day.

So, yes, but no. That is enough sharing.

They prosecuted him, although I don't know how much of a term he served and where. If I remember he was in his 70's? at the time, seemed a bit confused. From the story he told, he meant to scare them.

1988, half the town was ready to lynch him.

My mom had a very difficult labor with me. I wouldn't come out because I was in the wrong position and because she had a Kaiser doctor, they didn't give her a c section so I had to be pulled out with forceps and I was all covered in shit and it even got into my lunges. I nearly died and my mom had a lawsuit but decided to not sue because she wanted to enjoy parenthood and she was glad to have me alive after all. I just couldn't eat for two weeks so I had to be fed through feeding tubes and I still have those two scars on my chest where they had the tubes connected. But they are harder to see now because of my breasts.

Hi! Welcome back from (or should that be "to" ?) the near-death experience round here :)

My Mum has never quite quite forgiven her doctor's (nor me!) for the brutal forceps delivery I had to have ,@ two weeks overdue, and endowed with my Dad's big head. SHe makes the story of my birth and her nightmarish pregnacy s ound like Rosemary's Baby( "You drained all the goodness out of my body, and I had to have iron injections in my bum"  and she was also  hospitalised with pre-eclempsia) . And then when i was finally out, i was the marvel of the Maternity Unit, almost instantly learning to focus my eyes and track the nurses' movements , and even smiling and laughing.- at least so my mum swears (I've given up telling her it must have been wind. Actually , she is  not that dim, and I'm not her only child, and the nurses thought the same.  I've just aboput come around to believing her...for what that's worth) .

at least I didn't have little horns on my head  :LOL:

It's probably true. Only family members who saw it believe the oldest could lift her head from birth, but she could. That was back in the days when babies were placed on their stomach, and first visit to the nursery she had her head up looking around.

I was told they were steroid shots here.  :laugh: All I know is that they hurt enough to make me not forget them...the only thing that came close was having to get rabies shots 13 years or so later in my leg after getting bit by a stray.
