A man has had an extraordinary near-death experience. While unconscious, he claims he had attended his own funeral in ghost form ...

A person named Thomas was clinically dead following complications during surgery. He has been in in the afterlife and had terrifying visions.

He reported his story on the Near Death Experience Research Foundation website:

“I landed on grass and found myself in Willamette National Cemetery in Portland, Oregon.”

“I was wearing a hospital gown and I couldn't understand why no one could see me. I started to walk over to one of the shelters where funerals take place for veterans.”

“I noticed a large gathering was taking place. I walked over and could see my wife and my step-daughter crying.”

“I started to freak out as I realise it was my funeral. I tried to get their attention but there was no sound; it was absolute silence. Then, everything went dark again.”

“This time I could see from a different angle. I watched my parents arguing in a room.”

“The room had concrete blocks for walls that were painted white. I couldn't exactly hear what was being said but it almost seemed as if I was in my mother's womb.”

“I was being presented with various scenes that seemed to go on forever. (I'm going to save this part for a book.)”

“At the end, I became woozy and blacked out. I woke up in a chair. There was a woman in a nurse's uniform with a dark blue sweater who was standing in a dark room.”

“She started to talk to me but her mouth wasn't moving. She told me that I was being sent back because it wasn't my time yet.”

Moments later, Thomas returned to his own body. He is now convinced that there is life after death.
