Experience description:

I was meditating to calm down I remember I was under a lot of stress that day. I was very upset. I had been crying and everything so I decided I would meditate to calm down it had always worked before. So I got my four candles out all were the color red I remember. I laid on the floor with the candles around me in a circle. Then Suddenly my body went numb. I couldn't feel a thing. Then I felt my soul coming out of my body. It was weird. Then I started spinning in the middle of the air me as my soul. My body was still on the floor. I remember I looked the same.  The soul as the body. I heard this evil voice. Like you hear on the scary movies. But I couldn't make out what it was saying. Then I totally freak and got so scared. I wanted back in my body!! Then suddenly I fell right in back in my body. I even hurt. The fall back in my body hurt. It was so creepy one of those things you can never forget!
