The Encounter

Mindy Toddfest is a woman who had a near-death experience (NDE) on November 8, 2016. She was at home when she suffered a stroke due to a vertebral artery dissection. As she lost consciousness, she felt an overwhelming electrical sensation and found herself in darkness, where she reflected on her life. She encountered a male presence who reassured her that she would not be there forever. After this experience, she returned to her body and struggled with physical and emotional trauma. Mindy later shared her story with her husband, who supported her in understanding her experience. This encounter changed her perspective on life and led her to explore UFO research and write a book about her journey.
