Experience Description

I was fishing with my husband September of 2024, when my ears started ringing. Suddenly, I got super hot and eventually fainted. My husband told me that I immediately turned blue and stopped breathing.

I knew that I was fishing, and then suddenly, I was not fishing. Two tiny, childlike fairies were hovering over flower petals. One flower was purple and one was pink; then there was an orange petal flower and I knew it was for me. The two fairies put their hands out and said, 'Hi, come with us ," in a very childlike voice. Just as I was reaching for their hands to go with them, I heard someone screaming my name. I said to them, "I can't this time." Just like that, I was back in my body.

I was looking at my husband and immediately telling him what happened. He told me that he was screaming my name. He also told me that I was purple and blue and not breathing for approximately two minutes. I realized it was my husband's voice I heard that brought me back.

It was a calming experience but scary at the same time. I was disoriented knowing I wasn't fishing; but I was in a beautiful place with a waterfall. Across the river, I saw a man and a woman laying on top of an old-time car that looked like it was from the 1960s. They never spoke to me. I'm glad I survived.
