NDE - goes to scary planet, then rescued by God
What Researchers Found
The Story
David was a 32-year-old man from Hawaii living in Northern California. In 1990, a severe cough after a skiing trip worsened into respiratory failure, causing chest pain and his NDE. During the NDE, David left his body and saw a blue-green glow around his room and possessions. He tried to pass through the door but sensed sorrow outside. He entered a bright light, reviewed his life, and reached a stormy volcanic place with ghosts. A ghost woman attacked his spirit body. He cried out to God for forgiveness. God's light expanded, transforming the land into a peaceful paradise with grass, trees, and animals. God embraced him with love and instructed him to return to Earth. After the NDE, David revived with clear lungs and no illness. He lost his anger toward God, accepted himself, and finds comfort in sunrises as reminders of God's presence and a heavenly home.
“my best to make it back home hoping that I was dying and I knew it I finally made”
This NDE contains no veridical perception claims about real-world events during unconsciousness; all experiences are subjective visions of otherworldly realms, ghosts, and divine encounters with no corroboration. Post-return physical evidence (disarrayed clothing, 911 call) confirms illness but does not verify any OBE perceptions.
Score reflects verifiable perceptions reported. A low score indicates the experience was primarily spiritual or subjective, not that it didn't occur.
Score reflects transformation as described. Domains scored 0 indicate the topic was not discussed, not that no change occurred.
