1978 NDE
1978 Near Death Experience
I woke up one morning with amnesia. I struggled for many years to recovery the memories lost after a car accident. Within the first week, some vague memories returned. Enough to know I had siblings, a Mom and a Dad. One of the memories that returned to me within a few minutes of waking up after the accident - was a memory of being in a body of misty light and hovering around the scene of the accident. Like every thing else - there was a fog attached to the memories and I had to struggle to piece together the events leading up to the memory and leading away from the memory.
Over the months to come - I piece together the classic description associated with the testimony of a 'near death experience.' My 'misty body of light' had zoomed through the galaxy at the speed of light toward a 'realm' of reality beyond our earthly plane of existence. I felt I had spent a billion years in that 'timeless' zone of eternity before being shuffled back to the scene of my accident.
When I tried to talk about the 'trip to the light' - many people felt it was a product of imaginaiton, hallucenation - or delusion. I had confirmation from a sibling. I (as a spirit) had came to their bedroom in the middle of the night and put a scare into them. (My accident happened after midnight.) I was able to describe the scene that took place in my home when my sibling had their haunting ADC.
ADC during the NDE
I had an 'escort' of 'spiritual beings' when my 'misty spirit' returned to the scene of the accident. My spiritual mind had radiated upward toward a higher plane of understanding when my spirit took the trip into the light. When I returned - I was returning to the frame of mind and understanding I had as a human prior to the accident. I started thinking like a younger teenager again. I couldn't resist the idea of being a real live ghost outside my body. I wanted to take my 'ghostly spiritual' body to my sibling and hide under the bed. We had a history of 'getting back' at one another. It was my turn to get back at my sibling for past rivalies.
I hid my 'spirit' body under the bed and started the process of 'slowing down' my vibrations to break through the veil the seperates the two worlds. (Material and spiritual.) I started moaning in a tone that would echo through and generate a sound within my sibling. (It wasn't a physical sound as much as it was a spiritual tone.) My sibling woke with a start and I started shaking the bed violently as I moaned. My sibling screamed and put their feet onto the side of the bed. My 'spirit' had put itself in the 'inbetween' mode and I was able to 'touch' my sibling with my 'ghostly hand.' They took off running and lost control of their bowl movements. They wet themselves.
I was on the other side laughing myself silly - while my sibling was running and calling for our Mom to come to their aid. (My sibling was 17 years old at the time and just thought they were grown. They were still young enough to cry for their Mom when they got a scare put into them.)
When I was able to describe every action, detail and word spoken - my Mom and sibling were stunned. It was too much for them to comprehend that I had been a 'ghost' during a 'near death experience.' (This was in 1978 and not much was none about a near death experience.) My family rejected the idea of it and strived for a logical explaination. They felt I had done this prior to the accident in human form. When I asked how I would be able to get in and out of the house without them seeing me - they would come up with some type of explaintion of crawling through a window. (We lived on the second story of an apartment building.) They insisted that I had a ladder hidden away. No matter how I described it as a real life ghostly communciation - they would lead their minds away from the idea and come up with a possible sceniro that made it a 'human prank.'
I knew my own mind and memory on the incident. They confirmed the events had happened just as I described so I was convinced it wasn't my imaginaiton, a hallucenation or a delusion.
History of Pranks
Now that I have my memories back - my siblings and I had a long history of pulling scary pranks on one another. It was a contest we devolped with rules and guidelines. The contest was to help us overcome our fears. I had a running game with each of my siblings. Once the prank was pulled - there would be a judging session to decide the points given for originatly and success. Such as hiding in a closet for a long time with a halloween mask and jumping out unexpectedly. A part of the process of the judging session was to tell how the shcemed came to mind. My siblings were upset with me because they felt I was holding back information. It was too hard for their young minds to believe I had actually been a 'ghost' outside my body during a 'near death experience.' It was the first time of many where I got to witness how the human mind will work to block out 'spiritual realities' it was not geared to handle.
Two Friends Who Passed Prior to Amnesia
I learned from my family and friends that I had two close friends pass over prior to my NDE and amnesia. One died in 1977 and the other one died on the day before New Years Eve one day shy of 1978. My Doctors felt that having two close friends die within a six month period may have been a contributing factor in my 'denial' or disassociative memory complex. As hard as I tried - I couldn't recall a single detail about either of these two friends. One was only 17 years old and the other one had been an older man (42 y/o) who had befriended me during a childhood medical crisis. My family said he had became like a second Father to me during that crisis.
Meeting Strangers
I got used to strangers coming up to me and telling me we had been friends in the past. I had classmates, neighbors, old co-workers, and family friends coming up to me constantly. I had to dig out my medical note explaining my amnesia. So - when I started having visits from two 'spirits' from the other side - they too were strangers to me. They were aware of my amnesia. It was as if I got to know them all over again as spirits - seperate from their worldly personalities. (It took me years to finally recall both of their identities and recall the worldly friendships we had shared together.) They were the foundation that established a long history of ADC's with spirits of those who passed on.
