Leonard Rogers: NDE of a Three-Year-Old Father
What Researchers Found
The Story
Leonard Rogers was a three-year-old boy hit by a car while crossing the street. During his NDE, he vibrated out of his body and viewed the accident scene from above, seeing buildings like photo negatives. A woman called him telepathically across the street, and he joined her, noticing a bright light. He experienced a future life review with images and videos of his life, pausing on a picture of his unborn son, which he recognized. He entered a dark tunnel with others, felt shame near a knowing figure, and a breeze removed his fear. Holding the woman's hand, he watched the accident on a big screen and felt no attachment to his body. In a dark place, he heard whispers to go to the light but stayed, thinking for what felt like years. He spoke to a being who asked why he wanted to return; he said to help his mother raise brothers and leave the world better. A tall figure sent him back through a swirling tunnel with music, and he reentered his body reluctantly. After the NDE, Leonard forgot the details until his brother's death in 2010 triggered memories while researching death. He discovered his unknown son online, met him, and they built a relationship. He gained peace about death, a sense of purpose, and shares his story to comfort others while learning from other NDEs.

Exceptional precognitive veridical claim of seeing an exact photo of a future unknown son at age 3, later perfectly matched upon discovery via internet contact, with additional verified future knowledge like additional siblings and brother's death; limited by uncertain deep unconsciousness and non-remote physical vantage for initial OBE perceptions.
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.
