Priscilla C NDE

Experience Description

I was sitting in church when my pastor had stood up to teach us. I felt like I was fading away, so I said to myself I will get up once the pastor gets up to teach and I will go home. I grabbed my purse to move and I just sit there and didn't move. As I went into this coma/or whatever you may want to call it I was not in the physical body but in a spiritual body. I saw these unearthly beings that were trying to pull me to their side. They were pulling at me from both sides and I was in a struggle with them not to go over to their side. I struggled very hard to get away from them. I cannot describe them at all. As soon as I got away from them, I saw a very bright, bright light and I began to move at the speed of light. Then I came back out of my coma, not realizing that I was still in church. At this time, church was over with. The paramedics were around me as well as the people in the church and I begin to hear people talk and call my name. I had no idea what had happen or that I was still at the church. I was very wet as though someone had poured water on me. My feet were swelling and looked as though they were bear claws. From what they told me I was out for at least ten to fifteen minutes. I kept saying to everyone who was around me how embarrassed I was that this happened to me. Of course, I was hospitalized for three days.
