I personally don't have any, luckily, but I know one story that my friend's dad told me. Not lying.
Well last night, my friend, his dad and I were chatting, and the topic of dying or something came up
. We were talking about how if we knew we were going to die at a certain age, wewould do anything we wanted to if we knew we wouldn't be harmed. Well his dad then told us his story about how he almost died in a fishing trip in Canada.
He and his friend were fishing in February or March when his friend forgot his bait at the campsite. At this time, they were both 22 and greenhorn fishers whowere fishing in a current, which is a bad idea. My friend's dad and his friend went back to shore and dropped him off. MFD then decided to go back out tofish alone, and tied their anchor's rope around his seat, which then promptly capsized.
He was swept out of the boat and into the river. The water temperature was about 30 degrees Fahrenheit although it was about 40 degrees outside. He beganpanicking as soon as he got underwater and said that he began to lose consciousness. He said that while close to blacking out, he felt calm and peaceful-like.He said that he also began seeing this black tunnel coming towards him in his vision, and that's when he snapped out of it. Luckily, down the river therewas this boulder that was in the middle of the river and he swam towards it and sat on it. His friend came back 20 minutes later.
Cliff notes:
-Friend's dad came close to dying at a fishing trip
-ties the anchor wrong, boat capsizes
-panics in water and almost drowns
-sees the "black tunnel" before he blacks out
-breaks out of it and swims to safety.
