A young girl in Shoeburyness, England, experienced a near-drowning incident during a swimming lesson at her primary school. Unable to swim, she somehow ended up at the bottom of the pool, though she cannot recall how it happened. While underwater, she found herself in darkness and began calling for her mother, feeling alone but strangely warm and not frightened.
She then heard a woman's gentle voice and drifted toward two shadowy figures - an older woman and a young man. The woman kept saying "There she is. Oh! Isn't she lovely" but insisted the girl go back because "Mammy needs you." Despite wanting to stay in what felt like a happy place, she was turned back. She suddenly found herself at the bottom of the pool looking at the filter, surrounded by bubbles, before reaching the surface. The girl believes the figures were her grandmother who died in 1929 and her uncle Francis who died in the 1940s, both before she was born. She had never seen photographs of either but felt she knew who they were. The experience left her with no fear of death, viewing it as shedding an earthly body like a caterpillar to take on a more beautiful form. Years later, she still considers the experience sacred and shares it with those who fear death or have lost loved ones, believing it has influenced many people throughout her life.
