She Drowned in Florida and Experienced Something That Changed Everything
What Researchers Found
The Story
The person was a 12-year-old child who experienced drowning while swimming at Cocoa Beach, Florida. They lost their raft and were caught in a rip current. After struggling for about an hour, they felt exhausted and began to give in to the water. In that moment, they felt overwhelming peace and comfort, almost blissful. They thought of their dog and then felt something large push them up out of the water, which they believed was a dolphin. This helped them swim back to shore. After the experience, they felt a transformation in their life, including a greater understanding of spiritual matters and a sense of connection to the afterlife.
“Um, I felt comforted. I felt at peace. >> as I'm drifting down and I'm thinking,”
