Struck by Lightning: What Is It Like?

In 1994, Dr. Anthony Cicoria was struck by lightning and almost lost his life. After he was struck, he had an out-of-body experience where he says he saw his own body lying on the floor. In this interview, Dr. Cicoria describes what it was like getting struck by lightning and the feeling he had when he saw "the light."

He wasn't just a out of body experience, he had a near death experience

0:52 "Youve been struck by, y-you've been struck by..." My mind was expecting smooth criminal and lightning threw me off so hard

This is quite a typical description of a near-death experience. Hundreds of people all over the world have had similar experiences, doctors, nurses, veterans in war zones, crash victims. It is always fascinating to hear them speak. Glad he made it back to tell us.

My husband was killed by electricity and Dr Cicoria replied to me with the most kindness and is a wonderful person.

This is what dying feels like. That feeling you get right before you die is massive amounts of DMT being released by the brain. Fucking crazy story.

Lightning hit you so hard that your physical body flew away from your soul body

[AliAkbar-ukdo]

I had the out of body experience when I choked on a piece of bread and stop breathing or hardly breathing. I saw myself being born and lived the whole life and I see my mom loving me and I was asking myself who is this person I am so worried about and I cried myself during this whole out of body experience. It was unreal and outstanding. I spend the whole night at the Coney island hospital and I prayed if I could live in this body one more time to do good in this world and say good bye to my mother.

[Russbenner]

The feeling of peace is more than that, it feels like peace to the tenth power very hard to describe to someone that has never experienced it .

[Jobe-]

This guy had an out of body near death experience and met/experienced God. Wow.

[MitchCadena]

I believe in these kind of circumstances.

[SirJakeusMaximus]

If he isn't lying and he did have a bolt to the face the chances are the signals in his brain were just thrown completely out of whack

[bryceb]

It’s amazing, God let him live another day.
