Kayaker Gets Pulled Under Waterfall Then Tells the World What She Saw Below
A Woman’s Near-Death Story: What Happened to Dr. Mary Neal
Kayaking Accident in Chile
Dr. Mary Neal loved kayaking. She was very good at it. One day, she went out kayaking in Chile, a country in South America. She was having fun, but something scary happened. Mary’s kayak went over a big waterfall. She fell into the water and was pushed under by the strong current.
Mary was trapped under 8 to 10 feet of water. Most people would be very scared. However, Mary stayed calm. She told CBN News, “I didn’t panic.” She tried to get out from under the water. She even tried to free her kayak. But the water was too strong.
Mary realized she might not survive. She started to pray. She asked God to do what He wanted. Mary said, “The moment I asked that, I was immediately overcome with this very physical sensation of being held and comforted and reassured that everything would be fine.” She felt like she was being held by Christ. She explained, “It took me a long time to say that out loud because, probably like everyone—even though we talk about not having to earn God’s love or work for it, in our hearts we still believe that ‘oh we’re not good enough.’”
A Beautiful Feeling and a Glimpse of Heaven
Mary felt something very beautiful during her experience. She said it was one of the first wonderful things about her near-death moment. She felt like she was “released to the heavens.” There, she saw a group of people. These people had known and loved her as long as she could remember. Mary shared, “I knew that they were all people who were important in my life story.”
Mary said there was never a moment when she felt dead. She explained, “I felt conscious then more conscious. Alive and then more alive. I never felt dead.” She felt more awake than ever before.
As she got closer to death, Mary saw her life like a movie. She said it was the most important part of her experience. She could see events from her life not just through her own eyes, but also from the point of view of other people. Mary called this her “life review.”
When Mary looked around, she saw beautiful colors everywhere, like the Northern Lights. She also saw a domed building. This building was surrounded by thousands of souls. They were happy to see her. She said, “It was like the building was built with fibers of love and it was so radiant and so alluring and beautiful. It was iridescent. All I wanted to do was be there.” But Mary’s guides told her it was not her time to stay.
Learning from the Afterlife: Nanci Danison’s Story
A Hospital Visit Turns Into Something More
Nanci Danison is a woman from Ohio. She is a devout Catholic. In 1994, Nanci went to the hospital for a medical test. During the test, she had a very bad allergic reaction. Her heart started beating too fast and then stopped. Nanci was “clinically dead” for a short time. But something amazing happened to her during that time.
Nanci said she did not know her body was dying. She explained, “I did not lose one moment of awareness during my body’s dying and death, or during my own crossing over and afterlife. I was conscious throughout and I remember it all.” While she was dead, Nanci met five “Light Being” friends. She also learned a lot about the history of Earth. She said she learned why her religion had taught her things that were not true about life, death, God, and the afterlife.
Nanci felt very curious after her experience. She wanted to know: What is God? What is the meaning of life? Where is heaven and where is hell? She said, “I was angry that I had not learned these answers before I died, as I assumed everyone else on Earth knew this information but me.”
Unconditional Love and a New Life Path
Nanci explained that she went into the Light. She was filled with love, happiness, and acceptance. She said, “I literally merged my Energy and being into my five Light Being friends so that I could experience their physical lifetimes.” After coming back to life, Nanci decided to change her life. She left her old job at a law firm and started her own company. She also became a pilot, a detective, and wrote books about her experience. Nanci wanted to tell others what she had learned.
Charlotte Holmes: Seeing Heaven and Hell
A Heart Problem Leads to a Big Surprise
Charlotte Holmes lived in Wichita, Kansas. In September 2019, Charlotte went to the doctor for a check-up. She learned her blood pressure was very high. Doctors worried she was having a heart attack or a stroke. Charlotte was rushed to the hospital.
At the hospital, Charlotte’s heart stopped. She was “clinically dead” for 11 minutes. During that time, Charlotte said she had an out-of-body experience. She could see and smell the most beautiful flowers. Her husband Danny was sitting by her side and knew something was wrong.
Charlotte told The 700 Club, “I could smell the most beautiful flowers I’ve ever smelled, and then I heard music. When I opened my eyes, I knew where I was. I knew I was in heaven.” Charlotte said heaven was more beautiful than anyone can imagine. She said, “I can’t convey to you what heaven looked like, because it’s so above what we can even imagine, a million times.” She felt pure joy.
In heaven, Charlotte saw her parents, her sister, and other family members who had died. She even saw her baby who died before being born. The baby was now a little boy. Charlotte said, “They continue to grow in heaven—but there’s no time, it’s eternity.”
A Warning About Hell
While in heaven, Charlotte said God showed her a vision of hell. She said, “God took me to hell, and I looked down and the smell, and the rotten flesh—that’s what it smelled like...and screams.” Charlotte said seeing hell was almost unbearable after seeing heaven.
God told her, “I show you this to tell you, if some of them do not change their ways, this is where they shall reside.” Charlotte also heard her father say, “You have time to go back and share.” After 11 minutes, Charlotte was brought back to life.
Charlotte told many people about what she saw. She said her experience was meant to help others make good choices. Sadly, Charlotte passed away a few years later in 2023 after another heart attack.
The Meaning of Death: Adam Tapp’s Experience
A Paramedic’s Unexpected Journey
Adam Tapp was a paramedic. In 2018, Adam was working on a wood project when he was shocked by electricity. His heart stopped for 11 minutes. Doctors worked hard to save him. While Adam was dead, he had a special experience.
Adam talked about his story on the YouTube channel Beyond the Veil. He said he felt total peace. Adam said, “I felt like I was falling for ages. And then it was just like waking up from a nap someplace that I’d always been.” He described the place as “perfect inky blackness,” like deep space. He felt like he was a single point, seeing everything around him.
Adam said, “I was just perfect...like absolute contentment, and I was just in this space.” He felt like he was part of the universe. Adam said it felt “perfect” and a “natural progression” in the cycle of life.
Coming Back to Life and a New Outlook
Adam’s experience did not last long. Suddenly, he felt like he was shocked again. This was probably when doctors used a defibrillator to restart his heart. Adam was saved, but he stayed in a coma for eight hours.
After waking up, Adam felt confused. He said, “I was left with this overwhelming sense that this is just a stage, this is simply an evolution. It was going back to the source of everything.” He said he learned to appreciate every moment instead of always looking for a meaning. Adam believes death is just a natural change.
What We Can Learn From These Stories
All these people had near-death experiences. They saw or felt things most of us never have. Dr. Mary Neal felt comfort from Christ and saw her life from many points of view. Nanci Danison learned new things about love, God, and the afterlife. Charlotte Holmes saw both heaven and hell. She wanted to warn people to make good choices. Adam Tapp found peace and a feeling of being part of the universe.
These stories are different, but they have something in common. The people who went through them changed their lives afterward. They wanted to help others with what they had learned. They no longer feared death in the same way. They felt a new sense of peace or purpose.
Some people believe these stories are true. Others are not sure. Scientists say that near-death experiences can happen when our brains lack oxygen. But for the people who lived through them, these moments feel very real.
What Happens After We Die?
No one knows for sure what happens after we die. Different cultures and religions have their own ideas. Some people believe in heaven, where people are happy forever. Some believe in an afterlife where people are rewarded or punished for what they did in life.
Dr. Mary Neal, Nanci Danison, Charlotte Holmes, and Adam Tapp all had different near-death experiences. But all of them came back with messages of hope, love, and sometimes warning. They want to help people live better lives.
Even if we do not know exactly what happens after death, we can learn from these stories. We can try to be kind, brave, and loving. We can appreciate the people around us and the time we have. Maybe that is the best lesson of all.
Taking Care of Life While We Can
Life is special. It can change in a moment, like it did for Mary, Nanci, Charlotte, and Adam. That is why it is important to be careful, to help others, and to make good choices.
If you ever feel scared about what happens after we die, remember these stories. Many people who have come close to death say they felt love, peace, and joy. They came back wanting to help others and live life to the fullest.
We may not have all the answers, but we can still try to make the world a better place. We can share love, comfort, and hope just like the people in these stories.
Learning From Near-Death Experiences
Scientists and doctors still study near-death experiences. They want to know why they happen and what they mean. They also want to help people who feel scared after these experiences.
If you ever meet someone who had a near-death experience, you can listen to their story. You can ask questions and learn from them. Remember, everyone’s story is unique.
You do not have to wait for a near-death experience to learn big lessons. You can learn from these stories and try to be your best every day. Be thankful for your family and friends. Help others, be brave, and enjoy the world around you.
Final Thoughts: Living With Hope and Kindness
Near-death experiences can be mysterious. But the people who have had them often become kinder and more loving. They want to make the world better. They want to help others not be afraid.
No matter what happens after we die, we can all choose to live with hope and kindness now. We can help each other and make every day count. That is something we can all do, and it makes life beautiful.
Trump says Canada can join the USA and people in LA start big protest
Crowds in LA clash with police and Trump steps in but people are angry at him
Immigration Protests in Los Angeles: What Happened and Why People Are Upset
Protests in Los Angeles have been making the news. Many people have gathered outside the Los Angeles Federal Building in downtown LA. They are angry about raids by ICE, which stands for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. ICE officers have been in the area, and many people do not agree with what they are doing. The protests have lasted for several days. The people want to show that they do not like the raids. They think the government should treat everyone fairly.
Things became even more serious on Saturday, June 7. This is when President Donald Trump decided to step in. He wanted to stop the protests. He said he would do it “the way it should be solved.” This made a lot of people even more upset. Some think that sending in more people to stop the protests is not the right way to handle things.
The National Guard Arrives in LA
After the protests started to get bigger, California’s Governor Gavin Newsom made an announcement. He said that President Trump’s team was sending 2,000 California National Guard troops to Los Angeles. The National Guard is a group of soldiers who help in emergencies. Sometimes they help when there are big storms or fires. This time, they were coming because people were fighting with ICE officers. The officers were wearing riot gear, which means they wore special clothes to protect themselves.
Governor Newsom was not happy about this. He talked about it on social media. He said, “The federal government is sowing chaos so they can have an excuse to escalate. That is not the way any civilized country behaves.” He thinks that bringing in more troops is making things worse, not better.
President Trump did not agree with Governor Newsom. He replied on Truth Social, a website where he posts messages. He said, “If Governor Gavin Newscum, of California, and Mayor Karen Bass, of Los Angeles, can't do their jobs, which everyone knows they can't, then the Federal Government will step in and solve the problem, RIOTS & LOOTERS, the way it should be solved!!!” President Trump thinks the National Guard will help end the protests. He also called the Governor “Newscum” instead of Newsom, which is not very nice.
People React to the National Guard
A lot of people did not agree with President Trump’s decision. Many people on Twitter were angry. They said that Trump did not call the National Guard when the Capitol was attacked on January 6. That day, people broke into the Capitol building in Washington, D.C. Many people think this was very bad, but Trump did not send the National Guard to help then. Now, he is sending them to Los Angeles for protests.
One person on Twitter wrote, “President Biden never needed to send National Guard troops to LA for protests, and trump REFUSED to send them to the Capitol on January 6th. This is part of trump's fascist Project 2025 takeover. Full blown authoritarianism is here.”
Someone else said, “Trump refused to call in the National Guard when it was most needed. Let that sink in.”
Another Twitter user wrote, “Notice how quickly trump send National Guard troops to L.A. to calm immigration protests but refused to do the same on Jan. 6 when his supporters were storming the Capitol.”
A different person simply wrote, “So Trump deploys the National Guard to LA, but didn’t deploy them on J6?”
These comments show that many people think Trump is being unfair. They do not like that he sent the National Guard to LA but did not do it on January 6.
President Trump’s New Rules for Protesters
After the National Guard came to Los Angeles, President Trump made more rules. He posted again on Truth Social to say what he thought. He thanked the National Guard for their work. He also said that Governor Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass were not good at their jobs. President Trump said, “Great job by the National Guard in Los Angeles after two days of violence, clashes and unrest. We have an incompetent Governor (Newscum) and Mayor (Bass) who were, as usual (just look at how they handled the fires, and now their very slow permitting disaster. Federal permitting is complete!), unable to handle the task.”
He also said that the protests were started by “Radical Left” people. He called them “instigators and often paid troublemakers.” He said that these kinds of protests would not be allowed anymore.
Then, President Trump made a new rule about masks. He said that people at protests would no longer be allowed to wear face masks. He wrote, “Also, from now on, masks will not be allowed to be worn at protests. What do these people have to hide and why Again, thank you to the National Guard for a job well done.”
Some people think this rule is not fair. They say that masks can help protect people from getting sick. Others say that people sometimes wear masks to protect their identity if they are afraid.
Why Are People Protesting?
Many people are protesting because they do not agree with ICE raids. ICE is the group that finds and removes people who are not supposed to be in the United States. Some people think these raids are too harsh. They think families should not be split up. They also think everyone should be treated with kindness.
The protests started outside the Los Angeles Federal Building. People wanted to show they do not like how ICE is acting. They want the government to listen. The protests were mostly peaceful at first. People held signs and chanted. But after a few days, things started to get more tense.
When the National Guard arrived, the protests became even more serious. Some people think bringing in soldiers makes things worse. They say it makes people more scared and angry.
How Did the Government Respond?
The government responded in different ways. President Trump wanted to send in the National Guard to stop the protests. He said this was the best way to handle it. He praised the National Guard for their work.
Governor Gavin Newsom, who is the leader of California, did not agree. He said the federal government was making things more chaotic. He thinks the right way is to talk to people and solve problems peacefully.
Mayor Karen Bass, who is the leader of Los Angeles, was also mentioned by Trump. He said she did not do a good job. But many people in LA think she is trying her best to help the city.
Comparing LA Protests to the Capitol Riots
Many people are comparing what is happening in LA to what happened at the Capitol on January 6. On that day, a group of people broke into the Capitol building. They were trying to stop a vote about who would be the next president.
Many people think the Capitol attack was very dangerous. But President Trump did not send the National Guard right away. Some people think this was wrong. They say he should have acted faster.
Now, President Trump sent the National Guard to LA very quickly. This made some people angry. They say it is not fair to treat the two situations differently.
What People Are Saying on Social Media
Social media is full of opinions about what is happening. Some people support President Trump. They think sending the National Guard is the right thing to do. They want the protests to stop.
Other people are very upset. They think Trump is being unfair. They talk about what happened on January 6. They say he should have sent the National Guard then, too.
Here are some things people have said:
- "President Biden never needed to send National Guard troops to LA for protests, and trump REFUSED to send them to the Capitol on January 6th."
- "Trump refused to call in the National Guard when it was most needed. Let that sink in."
- "Notice how quickly trump send National Guard troops to L.A. to calm immigration protests but refused to do the same on Jan. 6 when his supporters were storming the Capitol."
These quotes show how strong people’s feelings are.
New Rules About Masks at Protests
One of the big changes President Trump made was about masks. He said that people at protests cannot wear face masks anymore. Some people are worried about this rule. They say masks help keep people healthy. They also say that some people wear masks because they are scared of being seen.
President Trump thinks masks let people hide who they are. He does not want people to cover their faces at protests. He believes this will make protests safer. But many groups think this rule is not fair. They say it could make people afraid to protest.
The Job of the National Guard
The National Guard is a group of soldiers who help in emergencies. They are usually called in to help with big problems. Sometimes they help after storms, floods, or fires. This time, they were sent to Los Angeles because of the protests.
President Trump praised the National Guard. He said they did a “great job” in Los Angeles. He thinks they helped calm things down. But some people say the National Guard should not be used against protesters. They think it is too harsh.
What Happens Next?
Right now, it is hard to know what will happen next in Los Angeles. The protests might keep going. Or they might slow down now that the National Guard is there. People will keep talking about what happened. Many people want to know if the new rules will stay or if they will change.
Some leaders in California want to find a peaceful way to solve the problem. They want to talk to the protesters and listen to their concerns. They hope things can get better without more fighting.
Why This Matters to Everyone
This story is important for everyone in the United States. It shows how people feel about immigration and the government. It also shows how leaders respond when people disagree.
Some people think protests are a good way to show what you believe. Others think protests can get out of hand. The way the government reacts to protests is very important. It can change how people feel about their leaders.
What Can We Learn From This?
We can learn that it is important to listen to each other. When people are upset, leaders should try to understand why. Solving problems peacefully is better than fighting. Using kind words and talking about problems can help make things better.
We can also learn that rules and laws can change. Sometimes leaders make new rules when problems happen. It is important to pay attention to these changes. Everyone should know their rights and speak up if they think something is unfair.
Key People and Their Roles

Why Immigration Is a Big Issue
Immigration is a topic that many people care about. Some people want stricter rules. Others want to help people who come to the United States for a better life. ICE is the group that enforces immigration laws. Their actions can be very scary for some families.
The protests in Los Angeles show that many people want change. They want the government to treat immigrants with kindness. They hope their voices will be heard.
Peaceful Protests and Why People March
A peaceful protest is when people gather to show they care about an issue. They might carry signs, chant, or march together. They do not use violence. Most people in LA wanted their protest to be peaceful.
But sometimes, things can get out of control. This is when police or the National Guard might step in. Some people think this makes things worse. Others think it is needed to keep everyone safe.
Thinking About Fairness
Fairness is important to many people. They want everyone to be treated the same. Some people feel the government is not being fair. They say sending the National Guard for some protests but not others is not right. They want leaders to use the same rules for everyone.
What Kids Can Do
Even kids can help make things better. You can talk to your family about what is happening. You can ask questions and learn more. You can also be kind to everyone, no matter where they are from.
If you do not agree with something, you can write a letter to a leader. You can draw a picture or make a poster to share your feelings. Remember, your voice matters too.
Staying Safe During Protests
If you ever go to a protest, it is important to stay safe. Go with an adult you trust. Stay with your group. Listen to directions from adults and police officers. If something feels unsafe, leave right away.
Remember, you can show what you believe in many ways. You can talk about your ideas, share stories, or join peaceful events.
Looking Forward: Hopes for the Future
Many people hope that things will get better in Los Angeles. They want everyone to be treated with respect. They hope that protests can be peaceful and that leaders will listen.

No matter what happens next, the most important thing is to be kind. Treat everyone with respect, and always try to understand how others feel. That is how we can make our country a better place for everyone.
