The Near Death Experience of Ms. Claudia Bührmann
What Researchers Found
The Story
Claudia was a single mother in her early 30s with a three-year-old daughter. She felt heart pain on a weekend, visited the emergency room, but doctors sent her home to rest. That night, her near-death experience began. She woke up floating in her living room and looked around. She floated towards the front door like Superman but thought of her daughter alone. A rubber band pull brought her back to her bedroom, where she floated above her body. She recognized the body as hers, floated down, and re-entered it with a whoosh. Later, she tried to leave her body again, saw a blue light ball with energy inside, and heard a male voice ask if she wanted to leave or stay. She panicked and forced herself back into her body. After the experience, Claudia explored spirituality. She withdrew from society, preferred living alone in France, stopped eating meat, drinking alcohol, and smoking. She acted intuitively and believed consciousness lives on after death.
