Near Death Experience?

I almost drowned as a toddler. Was too young for it to give me some amazing revelation, but I remember it crystal clear. Strangely, I don't recall being as panicked as I expect I would be now. I remember falling into the water, trying to swim but realising I didn't know how and just thinking something along the lines of "Oh well, I'm not getting out of here". I guess maybe with me being so young I didn't have a concept of death or what drowning would be like - I understood that if I didn't get out I was doing to die, but it wasn't a thought that scared me.
Just as I was going to give up I looked up and saw a shadow at the side of the pool, and it bent over and a hand came into the water, so I grabbed it. A teenage girl saved my life - I think about it sometimes, but it doesn't seem all that real what with the lack of fear.
I quickly started swimming lessons after that, but I was a slow learner!

Yes, but I don't remember it. My mom invited a friend and her little girl over to our house right after mom and I came home from the hospital (I was a newborn). They wanted to pay my mom a visit, see the baby (me) and bring a gift. The woman's little girl went down into my room while the moms were chatting. The bratty little kid put a pillow over my head and tried to snuff me out! Luckily the mom's noticed the little girl was missing and ran for my room and saved my life. I don't think my mom ever invited those two back into our house again.

I was caught in a house fire when i was 9 years old. Me, my mum and my brother who was 2months old at the time were all fast asleep one night, and my brothers dad (was very abusive towards all of us) came into the house about mid night and set fire to the livingroom, and the hallway going up towards the stairs to our bedrooms. me and mum both wake up as we were both choking to death as smoke was rising up the stairs. mum called fire brigade and ambulance. And all's i remember is a fire man carrying me from my bedroom window all the way down the ladders and into the ambulance.. my mum and brother came out of the front door as they had put out the fire and it was safe for them both to come down the stairs with the help of a few fire men.

If my mum didnt have her mobile phone on her, i dont think i would be here today

It was scarey stuff! Almost 11 years have passed now, and i still have nightmares about it, and i wake up almost every night when im fast sleep trying to catch my breathe and i get out of bed and go and check if mum and brother (who is 10 now) are both ok, and the house is safe.

We have moved away from the house that the fire happend in, that was back in England, we now live in Wales. and we are miles and miles away from my brothers dad!

When I was 14, I was running with a rough crowd. My boyfriend and I were at a party. He was drinking a lot, I was drinking a litle bit. Illegal drugs were also involved. It was New Years Eve 1999. We left the party, and I argued that he was too drunk to drive. He argued that I was too young to drive (even though I knew how).
He drove, and we ended up at a stop light, next to a car full of college kids. Of course, male testosterone dictates that a street race must happen. So we started racing. Mind you, its about 15 degrees out, and icy/snowy. Well, my boyfriend lost control of the car, we were going about 90-95 mph, and we slammed head first into a brick building.
I was wearing my seatbelt, he wasn't. I had a mild concussion, and both of my knee caps were shattered amongst other injuries. My boyfriend was thrown through the front windshield, and ended up wedged between the wall and the car.
The last thing I remember was crawling away to find help, and telling my boyfriend I would be right back. I looked back once, and the whole car exploded.
I don't remember any "life flash before my eyes" moment, or any religious experience, just an amazing clarity of mind, and time seemed to slow way down.
After the EMTs arrived, I lost the clarity of mind, and woke up in a hospital about three weeks later.

Wow, im so glad you made it out! that is a scary story - one to pass on to teens for sure!
thanks for sharing.

I've been in two tornados,one as a child (7 or 8) when a small twister almost lifted our trailer house, beleive it or not two large trees near our home saved our lives as the twister hit both trees and changed the path of the twister.The trailer moved off its foundation.The second was back in 2002 as I drove straight into a tornado at night,well it was 6pm but it the skies were as dark as night as I stopped my car about 1/4 of a mile in front of the path as it passed in front of me moving my car about a foot.Im thankful I survived and thank God everyday and appreciate life.
