Man Struck By Lightning; Reveals The TRUTH about The Other Side (NDE)
What Researchers Found
The Story
Goran Shanovich, a filmmaker and teacher from Australia's Gold Coast, had his near-death experience in 2001. He was struck by lightning while leaning on the fridge in his kitchen during a severe storm. The lightning entered through a window after hitting a nearby tree. During the experience, Goran felt surrounded by white-blue light and suspended in place. He thought he was dying but felt surprised rather than afraid. He then entered a black void and floated without a body, feeling relief from his earthly stresses like his divorce and depression. He saw small energy lights that seemed like other lives or universes. A silent presence accompanied him. As he approached a glowing energy sphere, he realized getting closer meant no return. He thought of his young daughter growing up in her mother's cult and chose to return for her. A voice said, 'Goran, you are going to be fine,' and he dropped back into his body. After the NDE, Goran survived with minor burns but faced ongoing depression that later improved. He experienced sleep paralysis and dreams with alien-like figures teaching life lessons. He developed automatic writing and learned to question everything, lead by example, and create his own values. He strengthened his bond with his daughter and his sense of higher purpose.
“felt a little bit lighter and he he felt like that was a good thing to do anyway”
This NDE lacks any veridical perception claims, consisting entirely of internal subjective experiences like a void, lights, and a comforting voice during a lightning strike. No observations of external events, people, or objects that could not be accessed normally or verified later are reported, limiting evidential strength severely. The only potential external awareness (hearing roommate) occurred while conscious and in sensory range.
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.
