Tragic Accident Sent Her To Source 💖 - Near Death Experience (NDE)
What Researchers Found
The Story
Laura Ketchledge was a 19-year-old college student in 1979. She had a near-death experience after a horse riding accident in Centerville, Virginia, when her horse stumbled and she fell. During the NDE, Laura left her body and entered a dark tunnel. She met her healthy grandfather, who greeted her warmly. She underwent a life review, feeling the effects of her actions on others from their perspectives. She saw lineups of her past lives as males and females. Guides led her to Source, where she floated as a point of consciousness in a sea of love with other souls. She experienced bliss and indescribable beauty. On return, she stopped at a thought-responsive beach and saw her grandfather again before re-entering her body. After the NDE, Laura shifted her core beliefs, abandoning organized religion for a spiritual awakening. She developed a strong curiosity about the afterlife and paranormal sensitivities. She bottled up the experience for decades but later became an author and speaker, sharing her story to help others and emphasizing kindness and living purposefully.
