Kimberly Clark Sharp's Near Death Experience | Life-Changing Encounter With The Light!!
What Researchers Found
The Story
Kimberly Clark Sharp was a 22-year-old college graduate from Kansas. She collapsed outside a Department of Motor Vehicles office on May 25, 1970, while renewing her driver's license. Rescuers found her not breathing with a body temperature of 86°F, likely from cardiac arrest caused by a ventilator mishap. She heard nurses say no pulse but felt ignored. She left her body and entered a warm, foggy place, waiting calmly. A bright light appeared, which she knew as God and unconditional love. She said 'Homey home' and saw eternity spread out. She asked about birth and suffering, remembering answers that life is a school for souls. God sent her back despite resistance. Out-of-body, she watched a man do CPR and re-entered feeling his compassion. Her body felt dark and heavy, so she called to God. She saw a beautiful meadow heaven but returned after visions of future service, people, and a life where mountains meet water. Afterward, she left Kansas for Seattle, earned a social work degree, and worked with dying patients without fear. She founded the world's oldest NDE support group in 1982, taught death and dying, and pioneered near-death studies, dedicating her life to service.
“this light or the light of god or um spread out under me in all directions”
This case stands out for its detailed verification of an impossible perception: a specific tennis shoe on an external third-floor ledge, described precisely by the unconscious patient and retrieved matching exactly by the narrator shortly after. Multiple corroborating details from the resuscitation scene and prompt reporting to the verifier before confirmation elevate its evidential value exceptionally high. No significant limiting factors, as access was physically impossible and details highly unpredictable.
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.
