Lisette D NDE

EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:

We were hitch-hiking to Ste-Adèle from Victoriaville a friend and I.   We’d been dropped-off opposite a subway stop along Highway 132 which we had to cross.  My friend told me to run fast and I told myself I wouldn’t run.  I stepped onto the roadway and was hit by a speeding car.  I remember seeing the face of the man who was driving, he had blue eyes.  Then, I felt myself lift up into the air as though I’d taken a giant leap.  There was a butterfly flying nearby and since I love butterflies I was looking at it and laughing because I felt an indescribable sense of well-being.  There was a voice talking to me and we laughed so much together, a real blast.  I didn’t look down, the presence prevented me and I wasn’t aware of what was going on down there, my friend told me everything.

What happened next is really unbelievable and really no one else has told about an NDE like mine.  I’ve done a lot of research and I’m obsessed by it, the memory is still vivid even though it’s been nearly 30 years since it happened.  I felt euphoric then suddenly the images, the butterfly, everything changed.  Gradually, the colours disappeared I was seeing in black and white and then the images disappeared.  There weren’t any more images, just sounds.  I didn’t feel as though I was in a tunnel, I was following the presence who was with me, with unconditional trust and we laughed and talked a lot.   Then we were approaching a group of presences because I could hear many voices.  I heard : "What’s she doing here? She mustn’t go on, she has to be sent back." And another very authoritive voice said that it wasn’t my time and that I had to go back now, it’s urgent.  And there was a countdown.  The presence accompanied me and that’s what gave me the impression of having simply jumped into the air because I came back with my body running next to my friend who was covering his face with both hands and crying. 

I took his hands from his face saying.. COUCOU and he told me what had happened.  How could I not be hurt after being hit and bloodied under the car.  I looked at the car which must have been 100 feet away and I could see the driver looking for me under his car.   I felt so awful knowing that  so I said I couldn’t understand anything and that we had to go catch the subway.  We took off running and we didn’t talk any more about it.  A few days later, we were back in our hometown and my friend read in the Journal de Montreal that we were being sought by the police because there had been a collision without a body and the driver was in trouble.  We had to see them to say I was okay.  I wasn’t able to go, I was afraid of having to tell my story and be thought insane.  My friend went, and he was happy to have done it.
