Lightning
 

OK.... I have a few weird paranormal-ish occurences to share but there's one that's more prominent than the rest...it's from when I was 13... I was playing baseball with some friends. We were trying to squeeze a game in before this thunderstorm hit. At one point I hit a solid line drive into the outfield and it hit the gate encircling the field. This was fucking astonishing for me because I could not hit for my LIFE. For this reason, I wasn't watching where I was going (I was watching the ball) and coming around second I ran straight into my friend Mike, flew several feet, and hit my head on the ground, and I was knocked out cold. From what I've been told, they carried me over to a bench and tried to wake me up for about 10 minutes, and in that time the storm started. While I was knocked out I felt fully conscious but unable to move. Apparently my eyes were closed but I could see everything around me, but it was all grey and wavy, and the sounds were muffled. All that was clear was this light path between me and where my ball stopped, against the fence, and a voice saying "THIS WAY." I got up, and I couldn't tell whether it was under my own power or not, and walked down the path. As soon as I got to the end, I saw a flash of light and everything went black. I'd apparently been hit by lightning that struck the fence. Aside from a few small burns I was alright, but when it happened I didn't feel a thing. I really haven't told anyone the whole story to this day just because I doubt anyone would believe me, but I figure this board is good for this sort of thing.

By the way, this was the only experience I ever had similar to this. All the other ones I've had are completely different.

If anyone's ever had a similar experience or has heard of any, please let me know.

sounds like you were jolted into an OBE..

yeah but the thing is that all of the lighted-path and everything happened when I hit my head, NOT when I was struck. That's what it led up to. The strike seems like something more likely to trigger that sort of thing but.... i don't know. it's weird.

weird if you ask me, but nothin is impossible> I wonder what the voice was..a god or a mental projection? Sounds like an awesome exprience. But you have to remember, consciousness (sp?) is still there when you have been knocked out. Your senses are still going and the impules are still sent to your brain. This could explain why you saw stuff, but blurred and that voice could have been a friend. And the lightning could have pulsed you back into "waking consciousness. Just a thought..not sure.
