Halloween always reminds me of my grandmother's tryst with the outer world. She used to narrate us this story from her childhood which till date fascinates me.
When she was young, she was seriously ill. Her parents quit on her, when they saw her eyes closed and her body became cold. She remembered floating above her body, watching her parents crying. She saw some of her dead relatives. That included her sister who was close to her and succumbed a year earlier to Small Pox. She told my grandma, not to worry about the neither world, as she got familiar company.
Then a big burly guy came, yelling" What she is doing here ? She needs to go back, her time hasn't come yet." Soon she opened her eyes, to see her crying parents relax and wipe off tears from their eyes. She miraculously recovered from that point and lived well into her 90s. She never ever suffered any major ailment after this and led a very smooth life, living until the age of 95. Till he died, she took care of herself and passed away peacefully in her sleep, a blessed death for any human.
In modern day Clinical terms, it is called NDE (Near Death Experience). I would think, this was a short term Post Death Experience. Whatever it may be, my grandma forever insisted on this event, took RAANA (sweared on the lives of her near and dear ones) of speaking the truth. I do have reasons to trust her, as ladies from that generation took their RAANA seriously, especially when it comes to their kids and grand kids.
