#223 - June's Fatal Car Accident and Her NDE
What Researchers Found
The Story
June Ahern experienced a near-death event from a car accident in the 1970s. At 19, she flew through the windshield when the driver fell asleep, hitting a utility pole. Her face was severely lacerated, and she died in the ambulance. During the experience, she saw a comforting woman in white outside the car who said, 'It'll be okay.' Later, in the hospital, she stood before a lush green garden enclosed by an ornate white fence. Relatives, including her maternal grandparents recognized from photos, gathered inside, laughing and enjoying a party in soft, brilliant light. She felt profound bliss and peace. Her grandparents greeted her and said, 'Hello June, not now. Go back.' She returned to her body in shock. After the NDE, June healed physically and emotionally over years. She pursued interests in metaphysics and the paranormal, becoming a psychic medium. She saw spirits, aided police in murder investigations, and wrote books on psychic readings and spirit communication. The experience reduced her fear of death and gave her a greater sense of purpose.
