Woman Died Dragged Under A Boat; Met Jesus During Amazing Near Death Experience (NDE)
What Researchers Found
The Story
Laura Picasso Roberts had a near-death experience in 1994 in the Caribbean. She worked on boats and got injured when a dinghy's propeller sliced her face, arm, and eye while she tried to leave a celebration at night. During the NDE, she left her body and floated underwater without feeling wet. She saw a bright light shine on her clean body with no blood visible. She floated around it, then moved with a thought to hang on a giant arm. She felt a pat on her head and heard 'Hang on, you're okay,' later identified as Jesus. She experienced pure love, peace, and no pain. After the NDE, she had 13 surgeries over years and continued working. She sought therapy like EMDR for trauma. A spiritual visitation urged her to help others heal. She enrolled in massage school on the accident's anniversary, became a Reiki master, medium, and channeler. She wrote a book 'Walking the Way' and created an oracle deck to share her story and aid healing.

The NDE features severe physical trauma and an out-of-body experience observing her own body underwater, but lacks any verifiable perceptions of medical staff, conversations, or events beyond her immediate surroundings. No attempts at verification or corroborated details are mentioned, limiting evidential strength despite the medical severity.
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.
