A man who suffered a near-death experience thinks he knows what’s on the other side.
Retired fire captain Bill Letson says he’s experienced the afterlife and claims it was ‘like a cosmic orgasm’.
Before he reached that conclusion, it all came about in 1964 when Bill became ill due to a flu epidemic in the city of Santa Barbara, California, where he was working.
The firefighter said he became very sick and was rushed to hospital to be put on IVs and 11 litres of fluids.

After Bill was prescribed with two more drugs, he went into intensive care and something bizarre happened.
“At some point during that night, I left my body and I found myself flying through this star-filled realm,” he said on the Shaman Oaks YouTube channel in 2023.
Bill recalled seeing ‘magnificent stars and orbs’ while in the ‘realm’ and that everyone around him was ‘so welcoming’.
“All I felt was everything a human ever wants to feel,” he continued.
“Just acceptance and love and joy and being held and all those things, all those negative things that we have about ourselves, they were gone.

“They were absolutely gone, things like anger and resentment or spite or jealousy.
“In my opinion, those emotions do not travel with us.”
The former forester described death as a ‘cosmic orgasm’ and that the ‘vibration’ is like nothing he’s ever felt.
“I was flying through this star-filled realm feeling absolutely ecstatic, like a cosmic orgasm,” Bill explained.
“And it wasn’t just an explosion, that was a full-time vibe, that is what we come from.
“We get glimpses of it here, when we score the winning touchdown or we get that job we wanted or get the girl you know and all these victories if you roll them all into one and times it by a million, that is your vibration.”
He continued: “I’m cruising along and it was a cosmic orgasm, just continuous and I felt like I’d been released from a hot dark closet and I was this huge expanded cloud, a huge expanded balloon, it seemed like I went out forever.”
When Bill reached the ‘afterlife’, he claims he was greeted by three hooded beings who were ‘giggling and bouncing around’.
“My throat just tightened and my chest expanded and I thought I was going to break down in uncontrollable crying from love,” he explained.
“There was so much love pouring from this being that it was overwhelming it was paralysing.
“Nobody was listening, they didn’t care it was obvious that I was brought in there for a quick show and tell and I wasn’t staying.
“It wasn’t the end of my life and I was the only one in the room that didn’t know that.”
Before his experience ended and he woke back up in hospital, Bill said one of the beings said to him: “You’ve got to back, you’ve got things to do and they’re important.”
