Man Falls From Cliff; Sees His Passed Away Children And Meets God (NDE)

The Story
Jim 'Bubba' Bay, a 57-year-old man from Pine Plains, New York, had a near-death experience after falling into a ravine while walking at night on a dead-end road. He hit his head on a rock, broke his left shoulder, fractured his skull, and lost consciousness. During the experience, he woke in severe pain and crawled up the hill toward the road, lying on a log to die. A bright light lit up the valley, and a grandfatherly figure he identified as God and Jesus approached, with his two deceased sons visible behind. They talked about the Bible's violence, which he questioned. The figure filled him with hope and faith, said he had tasks to do, and urged him to stay open to new things. Seeing a lit house, he crawled there and rang the doorbell for help before passing out. After the NDE, Jim gained sociability despite chronic pain. He now does inspirational speaking, explores spiritual topics like Reiki and Akashic Records, and connects easily with people sharing stories.
