Man Dies, Seen Being Pulled Back & Says Don't Freak Out - Powerful Near Death Experience
What Researchers Found
The Story
Chris Keto, a 24-year-old man from New York living in California, had a near-death experience in April 2012 from a severe allergic reaction to a peanut in cake. He ate the cake at a party, felt tingling, developed hives and labored breathing, and drove to the hospital where anaphylaxis worsened. During the experience, medical staff gave him Benadryl, epinephrine, and oxygen, but the reaction did not stop. He could not speak or breathe and accepted death with no pain. His deceased great-grandfathers from both sides appeared and communicated that he could not die because he had work to do. This pushed him back into his body, and he fought to breathe until he stabilized after seven hours. After the NDE, Chris recovered physically in days but felt emotional and spiritual confusion for months. He now lives with gratitude and purpose, speaks publicly about his story to help others, and strives to live authentically while giving back.

No veridical perceptions of physical events or medical procedures are reported; the experience consists solely of an internal vision of deceased relatives communicating telepathically, with no claims of impossible sensory access, specific verifiable details, or subsequent verification. Despite a severe medical crisis, the absence of any evidential perception claims limits the score significantly.
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.
