A description of the experience
The Art of Dying – Drs Peter and Elizabeth Fenwick
Mary is now over 90 but says that personal experiences she has had throughout her life have aroused and sustained an interest in NDEs and parapsychology. The first such experience happened when she was 11, in 1918:
I was sitting on a stool in front of a fire writing a letter to my Uncle George, who was with the army in France - I had paused and was looking into the coal fire, thinking of anything more to write to him, and a thought came into my mind, 'Uncle George will not get this letter.' I was a bit startled but very curious. A few moments later my mother came into the room to tell my father that she had just heard from his sister that Uncle George had been killed. I did, not tell anyone, but that was the beginning of my interest in what happened.
