"When I looked up, an old man was smiling at me. I looked at him in shock for several seconds, speechless, before saying, "Thank you!" He continued smiling and never said a word."
I received the following account:
"Hi. I've only shared this with a few people. It's one of my earliest memories. I was about 6 years old when this happened:
I was on vacation at the Edgewater Hotel in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, with my family, and we were in the hot tub, which was indoors. In this indoor area was also a swimming pool, and hotel rooms lined up next to the pool. My parents needed to go to our hotel room for some reason, which was about a 15-second walk away, and they left me alone in the hot tub. I was the only one there in the entire indoor pool area.
I was enjoying the hot tub and decided to walk around in it, as I was walking towards the middle of the hot tub my feet slipped from under me and I discovered it was much deeper than I thought when I sank to the bottom of it, and for some reason I couldn't gain any footing. I remember panicking and flailing, trying to reach the surface, and my feet kept slipping at the bottom. I very quickly reached the point where I couldn't hold my breath any longer.
This may sound crazy, but I very vividly remember breathing in water at this point, as in I inhaled water. Not swallowed, but actually inhaled a half "breath" worth of water. I still remember the sensation of water entering my lungs, but there was no pain. I then had the realization that I was about to die, and at that moment, I felt a hand grab mine and pull me out of the water. When I looked up, an old man was smiling at me. I looked at him in shock for several seconds, speechless, before saying, "Thank you!" He continued smiling and never said a word.
I ran to the hotel where I found my parents arguing about something. I tried to tell them what had just happened but they wouldn't let me speak. Then I ran back out to try to find the man who saved me and I couldn't find him. I even went to the reception area and asked if they had seen an old man pass by, and no one had seen him. I realized at this point that it was an angel that saved me. How my 6-year-old brain knew this, I don't know, but I still have no doubt that it truly was an angel and not a person who saved me." O
