Have you or someone you know experienced a Near Death Experience? [View all]

I have listened to non-religious descriptions of NDEs and I have had "visits" from my dogs and my dad. They are very real and they always lift my spirits since they somehow make me feel peaceful and comforted afterwards. Since I am an Atheist I find non-religious experiences from people from all over the world to be very interesting. This is one of the best I have heard from and judging from the responses this guy has a lot of company.
