The Story
Mike Benov was a correctional officer and martial arts instructor. He experienced a near-death event when his van hydroplaned at 70 miles per hour while driving home from a night shift, hit a concrete divider, and rolled over six or seven times into a field. During the experience, he awoke upside down in the wrecked van and felt profound silence and bliss. His physical senses faded, leaving only his mind and soul active. He felt protected and loved inside the vehicle. He saw an old lady in black, dressed like from the 1700s or 1800s, pacing outside the window. He tried to signal her for help, but she shook her head no. He responded without judgment and closed his eyes in peace. Moments later, he snapped back to physical awareness with pain as rescuers arrived. After the NDE, Mike suffered no injuries from the crash. He had a major spiritual awakening and became a soul guide. He now shares light and inspiration daily on social media, helps others one-on-one, and sees his later disabilities as part of his soul journey, living with greater purpose.
“because I felt myself I felt home I felt was just warmth and love and and Bliss”
The core claim of perceiving an 18th-century nun pacing outside the upside-down car while trapped is undermined by feasible sensory access through the window, immediate disconfirmation by first responders who were first on scene, and lack of any verified elements. Specificity and unpredictability provide some strength, but low medical severity, no verified perceptions, and disconfirming evidence predominate.
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.
Are you here because someone you love has died?
