Near-death experiences can be life-changing. Image Credit: Pixabay / sciencefreak Abbott, who was in high school at the time, had developed a blood blister on his foot that soon became so problematic that he was unable to walk, forcing him to go to the hospital.

It wasn't the blister itself, however, that almost ended his life - it was the injection of penicillin that doctors had given him to ward off infection which, as it turned out, he was very allergic to.

Within seconds, he had collapsed onto the floor and his heart had stopped beating.

"I immediately left my body," he recalled. "I saw my body fall down and bounce off the cement floor."

"The staff started freaking out and screaming, and the next thing I know, you know, they're trying to bring me back with CPR."Ultimately, Abbott survived the experience, but then just six years later he had another brush with death when he almost drowned while inner-tubing on the Guadalupe River.

"I hit an area of turbulence, and I went down to the bottom of the river and ran out of air, and I had an X-Ray vision, I can't explain it any other way," he said.

"I saw a hand and instinctively grabbed it and he pulled me up. And when I came to I was spitting out water, and I looked in, amazingly enough."

"The weirdest part of this story is that I knew the guy that saved my life. He was from my hometown, 400 miles away, who just happened to be in the same spot at the same time I was with other friends."

Ultimately, Abbott's near-death experiences changed his views on both religion and reality.

"I believe once you have opened that window, or crack the door to what happens in the afterlife, you carry it with you as a marker of sorts, or you are able to be in touch with things that you can't quite understand," he said.
