The Story
Deborah Yates, a retired landscaper and author from Florida, had multiple near-death experiences. At age three, a neighborhood boy beat her and tried to drown her in a stream. At age 17, a boyfriend's prank in a scary mask caused her heart to stop. Later, while swimming, she grabbed an electrified light fixture in a pool. During the drowning, she looked up through the water as her last sight. In the fright incident, she floated eight feet above the party, watched a man perform CPR on her body, realized it was her, and snapped back into it. In the pool electrocution, she observed sparks flying, admired the vibrant beauty around her, met her deceased grandmother who said it was not her time, argued to stay, but was sent back when the grandmother waved her hand, releasing her from the electricity. After these events, Deborah survived as the first person with toxic shock syndrome. She gained psychic visions of world events like the JFK assassination, Challenger shuttle explosion, 9/11, and Trump shooting, but struggles with the painful foresight and its purpose, leading her to write a book and share her story.
“back and my hand came down in the back underneath the water in the pool and it”
The transcript describes a veridical OBE during cardiac arrest where the experiencer saw Jim performing CPR on her body from 8 feet above, immediately confirmed by Jim upon revival. Medical severity is high with confirmed clinical death and near-fatal toxic shock, but evidential strength is limited by moderate specificity, lack of multiple verifications, and no exceptional unpredictable details.
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.
