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.

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.

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.
