The Story
Mike Benavi, a correctional officer with a military and police background, had a near-death experience in 2014. He dozed off while driving home at high speed on Route 3, lost control, hydroplaned, and crashed his van into a concrete divider to avoid hitting a car with a mother and two children. During the NDE, he felt complete bliss, total silence, and no physical senses except vision. He knew all answers and felt spiritual perfection. He sensed being stuck under the upside-down van in a foggy, dreamlike world. He saw a woman in her mid-60s, dressed in 1700s-1800s style with a burn scar on her cheek, pacing outside. He waved for help, but she nodded no and did not assist. He closed his eyes, and suddenly sounds, smells, and pain returned as rescuers arrived. After the NDE, Mike changed from materialistic to spiritual. He fought his old self for seven years, aligned with his soul purpose, married his twin flame, and despite back surgery leaving him disabled, he helped over 900 people as a Soul Guide.
“happened but then I felt weird I felt this car if I'm gone or if I mean what”
This NDE features a single potentially veridical claim of seeing a woman outside the crashed vehicle, but from a position with potential sensory access and without any verification or corroboration. The experiencer was not in clinical death or deep unconsciousness, and no other specific, verified perceptions are reported, limiting 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.
