The Story
Terri Diane Anderson was a 30-year-old married woman with two young daughters. She experienced a near-death event while working alone at a neighborhood bar. Two armed robbers beat her severely, causing brain, spinal, chest, and tailbone injuries. They held a shotgun to her head, making her believe she would die. During the NDE, Terri left her body and entered another dimension outside time and space. She met three interdimensional beings in a warm, bright, loving realm. They communicated telepathically and provided a past and future life review. She saw multiple screens showing future events, including her own life and broader world scenes. Her third eye opened traumatically. She then returned to her body, which she did not recognize. After the NDE, Terri suffered 11 months of amnesia and relearned basic skills like walking, talking, and reading over years of rehabilitation. Her marriage ended due to personality changes and PTSD. She gained psychic abilities to see into lives, bodies, and futures, and communicate with spirits. She left organized religion, trained in mediumship and remote viewing, co-chaired a near-death support group, founded a children's rights foundation, and now helps others as a medical intuitive and medium.

No veridical perceptions of physical events during the NDE; experience confined to a non-physical realm with life reviews and precognitive visions lacking contemporaneous physical detail or impossible sensory access. Future predictions partially verified but do not constitute strong evidential claims for veridical perception.
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.
