Reverend Nigel's 2 NDEs (Near Death Experiences) - New Questions
What Researchers Found
The Story
Reverend Nigel Mumford, a former Royal Marine and priest, had two near-death experiences. The first occurred in 1975 during a scuba diving accident in Malta, caused by panic and a heavy weight belt leading to drowning. The second happened in 2009 from swine flu complications, resulting in respiratory arrest and a three-week induced coma with organ failure. In the first NDE, he felt absolute peace upon inhaling water, entered a horizontal yellow tunnel, and viewed positive life review slides before blacking out. In the second, his spirit left his body, he saw stars, the Book of Life with souls, a blade of grass, granite steps, tulips, his glass house in heaven, and Victorian mansions. He crawled through the valley of death, saw Jesus on the cross encouraging him, glimpsed hell's evil, then approached heaven's light. After both, Mumford lost all fear of death, gained a new sense of humor, and deepened his healing ministry, emphasizing joy and living fully without fear.
“alive hey we're both alive and and I guest to tell us a little bit about”
The NDE occurred during extreme medical crisis including cardiac arrest, respiratory failure, induced coma, and total organ failure. A key veridical perception of the exact tracheotomy time (10:00 AM) and procedural details while unconscious was specifically verified by the experiencer's wife post-recovery. Evidential strength is moderated by reliance on a single primary verified claim, lack of multiple independent verifications, and reporting after the fact without pre-verification witnesses.
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.

These accounts were gathered because death may not be the end. Thousands of people have experienced something beyond — and come back to tell us about it.
