The idea of death can be concerning for many people, but it was an exceptionally daunting experience for one woman who says she left her body completely before returning to it.

There has always been a fascination surrounding what happens to a person when they die.

The story of Atlanta, Georgia, woman Pam Reynolds Lowery has fascinated people for years as she appeared to ‘come back to life’.

The singer-song writer said that in 1991, at the age of 35, had a near-death experience during surgery and was considered clinically dead.

It was here that she had an unforgettable experience.

Lowery had to have a brain operation due to a large aneurysm. But due to the unlikely chance that she would survive the operation, the doctor suggested a standstill operation.

To do this, her body was lowered to 50 °F, her breathing and heartbeat stopped, and the blood drained from her head.

As well as this, her eyes were closed with tape and small ear plugs with speakers were placed in her ears. This emitted audible clicks that were used to check that her brain was non-responsive during the surgery.

Despite all of this, Pam stated that she lifted out of her body and even saw the surgeons performing on her skull. Reynold’s has recalled her experience and the bizarreness of the whole situation.

She recalled: “I was looking down at the body. I knew it was my body but I didn’t care. My vantage point was sort of sitting on the doctor's shoulder. I remember the instrument in his hand, it looked like the handle of my electric toothbrush.

“I had assumed that they were going to open the skull with a saw. I had heard the term ‘saw' but what I saw looked a lot more like a drill than a saw – he even had little bits that were kept in this case that looked like the case that my father stored his socket wrenches in when I was a child.”

Pam had also said that her late uncle acted as a guide in this odd plane of existence.

She said he convinced her and aided her in going back into her body, despite her reluctance, as she looked ‘lifeless’.

She added: “My uncle was the one who brought me back down to the body but then I got to where the body was and I looked at the thing and I for sure did not want to get in it.”

There have been skeptics of Reynolds’ story with some arguing it may be a case of Anesthesia Awareness, a condition where patients can recall details of surgery despite being under general anesthetic.
