What Researchers Found
The Story
Savannah Muse was a 29-year-old woman who experienced a near-death experience (NDE) after her heart stopped for 16 minutes due to health complications. During her NDE, she felt herself leave her body, saw doctors working on her, and then found herself in a beautiful paradise filled with vibrant plants and animals. She encountered a tiger and later met her deceased brother, who told her it was not her time to go back. She also saw her family members who had passed away. After the experience, Savannah returned to life and felt a deep sense of love and purpose. She changed her life by leaving witchcraft behind and pursuing a career as a preschool teacher, feeling a strong connection to God and a new sense of worth.
