My First OOBE

My journey began in the 6th grade. I had no knowledge of anything of a psychic nature. I lived in a small town so far out in the boonies we only got two channels on TV. On this particular night, I went to a football game. The game wasn’t particularly notable. At halftime, we were playing football along one of the side-lines with a paper cup.

I remember a crowd of people. Something had happened. They were in front of me. I could see their backs. I tried to move forward and around them so I could see what was happening. I could hear someone gasping for breath. Finally, I could see. A child was laying on the ground. I immediately became worried because it might be one of my friends. As I moved closer I realized the figure on the ground was me!

At that moment my consciousness was looking at myself from about 15 ft away and a little above adult height off the ground. I went into shock and thought I was dead. Instantly my consciousness snapped back into my body. Then I could feel myself trying to catch my breath. (I’d had the wind knocked out of me.) My consciousness was normal and I could see the crowd around me from the viewpoint of a little boy laying on the ground.
It scared the hell out of me for years. I didn’t mention it to anyone because I figured they’d think I was crazy.
