NDE: I KNEW IT WAS JESUS but he looked different than expected, Chase DeMayo
What Researchers Found
The Story
Chase Skyler Deo, an 18-year-old Air Force airman, suffered an air embolism from an IV during a hospital examination after passing out in his dorm. This caused his heart to stop. During the NDE, he felt a cooling bliss as he left his body and entered a vibrant garden with unearthly colors. He observed himself as a happy three-year-old boy playing with Jesus, who had dark hair, green eyes, and a tan complexion. They communicated telepathically; Jesus reminded him not to take life too seriously and instructed him to return and share light, love, and laughter. Chase revived in a different hospital room. After the NDE, he retired honorably from the military due to knee injuries. He pursued joyful activities like sports announcing, ballroom dancing, photography, and stand-up comedy. A wellness retreat later awakened his spiritual gifts, including empathy and intuition. He earned degrees in alternative medicine and metaphysical science, and now shares his story to inspire others to find happiness and simplicity in life.
“Um, but then life life life sets back in as we get older, right? Bills pile up.”
The account describes a severe medical crisis with flatlining from an air embolism, but veridical perceptions are limited to vague observations of staff reactions and alarms accessible from the patient's bed view. No specific, verifiable details, independent corroboration, or attempts to confirm anomalous perceptions like the unseen arm-stroking are reported. The story was shared vaguely soon after but detailed publicly years later without prior verification.
Score reflects verifiable perceptions reported. A low score indicates the experience was primarily spiritual or subjective, not that it didn't occur.
Was this Evidence Strength score useful?
Was this Experience Depth score useful?
Score reflects transformation as described. Domains scored 0 indicate the topic was not discussed, not that no change occurred.
