Welcome to our paranormal afterlife.

This is episode 141 of paranormal stories.

This episode I'm reading from a mirror May's book, Death,

a compilation of transformative near-death experiences.

When I have guests on my podcasts, I read their books to work out questions for the episodes.

And when reading these books, I always find such amazing information that never makes it into the podcast.

And here, I get a chance to give you a peek into the book.

I've put a link to the book in the show

notes and I did seek permission to record this extract and the author kindly said yes.

so he gave me a little more, and within minutes I felt myself leave my body and float up to the

ceiling. I remember looking down on myself, trying to call out, Mom, Mom, I'm up here, can you see me?

I was scared, but I was a teenager, so it was more of an adventure.

It was cool to look down on myself rising up to the ceiling. What a party trick.

I was pulled through the ceiling and up into the air and into this wormhole vortex. With such force, it felt like I was sitting on the tail of an airplane

mid-flight. I heard music. Well, I didn't actually hear it in the conventional way. I felt the

sounds. It sounds strange, but here on earth we have five senses. When you cross over,

you have more senses and are able to feel the sounds.
