What Researchers Found
The Story
Travis Bman, a 37-year-old land surveyor from Southeast Texas, experienced his NDE in October 2018 due to a drug overdose that led to a near-heart attack. While on his hands and knees in his bedroom, he saw hundreds of demons and a portal opening above his bed. He cried out to Jesus for help. Jesus appeared behind him with a bright light that drove away the demons and removed his fear. Jesus placed a hand on his shoulder and said, 'Fear not, my son, and rise, for I am with you now, as I've always been and always will be.' Travis followed Jesus to heaven, where he saw a huge tree, a river of liquid diamonds, orbs of souls passing through each other to share life essences, and transparent angels. He felt overwhelming joy from the souls. Then, in a place of judgment, Travis had two life reviews: one reliving his own life and another feeling others' pain from his actions. He burst into flames from guilt, sought forgiveness from affected people, and transformed into an angel with large wings. He joined a line where God's voice called names, an angel recorded them in a book, and individuals entered heaven's gates. He met family members there before returning to his body. After the NDE, Travis gained the ability to see and talk to Jesus in his mind for two years. He developed a strong faith, believing Jesus is always present. He stopped using drugs and now shares his story to support others who have had NDEs.
“me and I knew that it was a demon I knew for certain it was a demon and uh it”
This NDE contains no veridical perceptions of real-world events that could be verified; it is entirely subjective spiritual visions of demons, Jesus, heaven, life review, and judgment. The sole potential claim (seeing children through walls) is vague, predictable from home context, and unverified, limiting evidential strength.
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.
