Man Dies; Visits Afterlife & Learns Secret To Overcoming Trauma During Life-Altering NDE
What Researchers Found
The Story
Devin Kramer experienced a near-death event in 2017. He took CBD oil to manage pain from kidney stones but had an adverse reaction that caused his body to shut down. He called 911 and collapsed. During the experience, Devin stood up out of his body and walked around his house. Colors appeared brighter, and time felt distorted; the TV was frozen. He first thought everyone had died, but realized it was only him. Fear gave way to a sense of security and love. He sat in a chair, called his dog Nova over, and petted her for comfort. He felt something approaching quickly, closed his eyes, and then jerked back into his body as EMTs arrived and revived him. After the NDE, Devin lost his fear of death. He studied spirituality, science, and meditation, receiving insights and predictions. He overcame agoraphobia, anxiety, and depression, made friends, became a dog trainer, met his wife, led a church group, helped the homeless, and started a Facebook page to share knowledge. He wrote a book on energy mastery and focused on helping others without fear.

This NDE features minimal veridical perception claims, limited to general observations like EMTs entering the front door and yelling standard commands, with no evidence of verification or specific, impossible-to-know details. While there was deep unconsciousness from a stroke-like event, perceptions occurred within the same location with potential sensory access, and no attempts to confirm details are reported. The lack of verified elements, timely reporting, or unique unpredictabilities severely limits evidential 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.
