Adventures in Immortality – George Gallup

One 28 year old Indiana woman reported to us that she and her father were working on her car in a garage while the car was running.  The carbon monoxide fumes finally got to her and she passed out, but even though she was in one sense unconscious, in another way she was more perceptive and acutely aware of her surroundings than she had ever been.  She said

 ‘I didn’t make it to the door – Dad said he dragged me outside.  My experience began here.  I was approximately 4 to 5 feet above my body looking down at myself lying on the ground, with my father at my head trying to get me up on my feet.  My mother and baby sister  - then about 16 – were both at my right side crying.  Mom said ‘Breathe, Jeanne, breathe!’  And my sister cried ‘Please don’t die.  Don’t you dare die!’ – you see, my husband had just died a month prior in an accident.  Mom kept pressing my chest to make me breathe.  While looking and watching, I at first didn’t realise what was happening – why they were crying – because I felt fine.  No pain, just joy’….

After observing her relatives working on her lifeless body, she turned away from them, into the joy she was sensing

‘I then looked around to find some explanation.  I was not afraid but only concerned about my parents and sister’

Then she began to move back to the three dimensional world again

‘The next awareness was I was following my mom, dad and sister, walking along the side of the house, kind of half dragging, half walking.  I was pretty much on the same level following them – but not walking, though.  I was outside of the body again – still feeling okay, no fear or pain, still wondering why everyone was so upset.  Then the next thing I remember, I was back in my body because I looked at myself and tested my control over my body.  Everyone – the rest of my family – asked if I was feeling better.  I was conscious but a little dizzy.  Eventually, I did go to the emergency room to clear out my lungs’
