The Story
Suzanne Seymour was a 12-year-old girl who had a near-death experience during a skiing accident in the Poconos. Her scarf got caught in a tow rope, which wrapped around her neck and dragged her up the mountain, leading to her death. During the NDE, she lay in the snow and saw a being of light approaching quickly. She thought it was her dad, but it was Jesus, who revealed himself through his eyes. She felt immense love and understanding, as if he knew her entire life. Jesus picked her up with two angels beside them. They floated to a place with a big tree, where she sat on his lap. He communicated telepathically, answering her questions and assuring her everything would be alright, filling her with joy and trust. After the NDE, Suzanne became a nurse. Her experience shaped her deep faith in Jesus as God. She connected Bible stories to what she saw and felt an intimate, trusting relationship with God.

This NDE features a severe medical crisis from strangulation but consists primarily of a subjective spiritual vision of Jesus and angels perceivable from the experiencer's body position in the snow, with no verifiable physical details, attempts at verification, or precedent reporting, resulting in low evidential strength for veridical perception.
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.
