Woman Dies; Travels Through Portals Revealing Other Dimensions (NDE)
What Researchers Found
The Story
Sher Duncan had two NDEs. The first happened in 1966 when she was nine and a half years old. A large ocean wave swept her out to sea while she searched for shells at the beach with her cousin, causing her to drown. During the experience, she had a tantrum at God underwater. She split into a child and adult version of herself. A woman's voice told her to relax if God took her, notice the beauty around her with sun rays and sparkling sea life, and understand the ocean's feminine power. She felt calm and at one with the water until a wave pushed her to shore. Her second NDE occurred in 2021 during a nap in her mid-60s due to severe sleep apnea. She left her body, entered a dark room that became an astral saloon with cowboys fighting. She realized she created the scene and was an orb of energy. She saw unlit honeycomb portals and approached a lit one showing blue skies, trees, hills, and meadows. Fear brought her back to her body. After these NDEs, Sher gained precognitive visions of the future, saw spirits like animals, craved authenticity in people, and felt a strong drive to complete her life's mission.

No veridical perception claims are present; the NDEs describe subjective spiritual visions, an OBE observing one's own body without unique or verified details, and fantastical astral scenes. While the childhood drowning suggests deep unconsciousness, there are no impossible sensory accesses, specific verifiable observations, or confirmations. Evidential value is limited to the internal experiential narrative without external corroboration.
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?
These accounts were gathered because death may not be the end. Thousands of people have experienced something beyond — and come back to tell us about it.
