A Priest and Life After Death | Stefan Lampe's Near Death Experience
What Researchers Found
The Story
Mr. Lumper, a 31-year-old Catholic priest, had a near-death experience from a car accident 20 years ago. He drove too fast at 120 kilometers per hour on a foggy road, lost control, and crashed into woods. During the two-second crash, he entered timelessness and left his body. He felt a vast reality like a blanket removed, revealing endless space and presence of many figures without seeing them. He sensed access to all answers but asked none. He viewed his life's essence, saw interconnections and impacts on others, and realized a bigger reality awaits. After the crash, he returned unharmed. The experience changed him. He sees faith as a temporary crutch, less tied to denominations, and more universal. He became relaxed, certain of an afterlife, and aware of life's connections. It deepened his work as a priest and encouraged sharing such experiences.
