The Near Death Experience of Ms. Anna Weidkuhn
What Researchers Found
The Story
Anna was a 10-year-old girl who had a near-death experience after falling from a flat roof through a trap door into an attic. She hit her head on a cast iron stove and tumbled down the stairs to the floor below. During the experience, Anna left her body and saw herself lying injured from above. She floated without pain and found it fascinating. She moved into a bright light filled with tremendous love. Two light beings, one male and one female, accompanied her like divine parents. She joined a circle of vibrating light beings and recognized her deceased grandfather among them. They welcomed her with love. A voice said it was not her time, and a vortex pulled her back into her tight body. After the NDE, Anna repressed the memory until age 40 during therapy, when it replayed fully. She then rejected rough behavior, improved her parenting to be more loving, started yoga to reconnect with the vastness, became more open and joyful, and embraced belief in the divine and guardian angels.
“like the love of a mother and a father well at least that's how it felt for me”
The NDE features a classic out-of-body experience with a view of the experiencer's own injured body from above, but lacks any specific, verifiable, or unpredictable details about the physical scene. No attempts at verification are mentioned, and the account was repressed and recalled decades later without contemporaneous reporting.
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?
