Experience description: 

      What I perceive to be an out body experience is as follows......

I was driving home one evening around 11:00pm when I had an accident in my car.  The weather was terrible one of those summer storms that suddenly appear for a short time, for no reason.  The best of all intensions I was driving along slightly faster than normal, when I approached this tight bend in the road which I was aware of as I had drove down this particular road, several times both in daylight and darkness.  As I remember I was just coming of this tight bend, and the car skidded towards the curb, and took off through mid air for a distance of about 20 - 30yrds I suppose!!! and my car finally coming to rest in the brick wall that was at the side of the walkway.

This is when I experienced the out of body experience.  I was floating outside of my car looking down on myself slouched over both driver seat, and front front passenger seat  What really makes me think I was dead for  a short period is that everything was in reverse just as you experience in the negative of film.  Everywhere that should have black was white, and everything that should have been white was black.  I was there, suspended in mid-air, seeing myself dead.

There was no sound to be heard; there was no light nor dark, just the picture and negative.  The time lapse must have been only seconds, but there was no time at all.  It seemed I had all the time in this world, because there was this unconscious light behind me!! calling me nearer to it, but, the faster I traveled to this light the farther the light got from me.  That's when I traveled that fast towards this light, that I saw myself wakening in the car.  Then I saw myself traveling back into my body and wakening.  Their was no feeling, no pain during my accident other than slight grazes.  The car was right-off, the 6 ft double-brick wall had to be rebuilt.  The police where informed and their investigation took their course.
