Woman Dies From Stabbing; Encounters Lost Ancestors And Shown Truth About Trauma (NDE)
What Researchers Found
The Story
Alison Ward, an intuitive and mental wellness mentor in the UK, had her near-death experience on July 5, 1994, when her abusive ex-partner stabbed her in the chest during an attack at home with her two-year-old son. She left her body through the top of her head with a popping sensation and moved quickly toward a bright triangle of light. She saw black-and-white snapshots of people she knew, including deceased relatives she had not met. Profound peace and enveloping love filled her. At the light's point stood her healthy-looking grandfather. A Birmingham-accented voice said, 'It's not time to go yet, love.' She returned to her body. After the NDE, Alison developed strong intuition and empathy. She became a mental wellness mentor, helping others through challenges. She lost fear of death, volunteered in hospice care, wrote a book, and turned trauma into purpose by sharing her story.
“towards this light I had felt a great and then I started to feel the love just”
This NDE includes specific descriptions of unknown deceased ancestors verified by the experiencer's mother soon after the event, providing moderate evidential value for veridical perception of non-physical entities. However, the absence of claims involving impossible physical sensory access during the stabbing trauma significantly limits the overall strength.
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.
