What Researchers Found
The Story
Shane Burns experienced a near-death event in late summer 2013. He was struck on the head with a baseball bat at a house in the woods, which opened his skull and caused heavy bleeding. He fainted and tried to drive away but collapsed again. EMTs found him and flew him by helicopter to UPMC Presbyterian Hospital in Pittsburgh. During the flight, he felt a mild vibration throughout his body that intensified. His life force retracted from his physical body, detaching completely at his Achilles heel. He entered a jet-black afterlife, aware of his consciousness, personality, and sense of sight, though he saw only darkness. A strong force pushed him on his hip and shoulder, returning him to his body. He woke up screaming and exhausted. At the hospital, doctors stapled his skull and saved his life. He recovered and was released two days later. After the NDE, Shane has no doubt about an afterlife. Death changed from a frightening unknown to an exciting journey. He welcomes it and shares his story to comfort others.
