I Met Leonard on February 5, 2005 - he told me about an experience he had about 24 years ago

He told me at that time he had been hospitalised because of severe nosebleeds and high blood pressure. During his stay in hospital the doctor told him if he was OK the next day he could go home. He went to bed and immediately as he lay down he found himself out of his body and hovering above the bed next to the ceiling.

He then experienced himself travelling into the centre of the earth and as he was moving along he saw a crossroads about 100 metres ( yards ) in the distance. In front of him was an individual about seven feet high. This person said to him, "Where are you going?" Leonard replied, "I am going down there ( motioning towards the crossroads ) because I am tired and need to rest! "

The stranger said to him, "You can not go down there because if you do you will never return. You must go back! " Leonard' s spirit returned to his body and sometime later he became a Christian.
