EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:

I heard there voices but only saw the female paramedics face. Then I woke up at the hospital but I was out of my body this time and as I explained later in this survey I saw my doctor and I could hear them say his name all the other doctors had hospital shoes on but my doctor had these real cool tennis shoes on. That's what I remember most , then I was in a type of tunnel and that's were this guy like in shadow form told me it wasn't my time yet; the guy had long hair and me and my husband talked about who it may have been and the only answer we could come up with was my cousin Scotty he died of AIDS back in the 80s and we were very close.
