He Died And Was Shown How and Why Souls Come to Earth - Roland Walters NDE
What Researchers Found
The Story
Roland Walters, a boy almost five years old, fell headfirst eight feet into a concrete bunker on his family's farm in North Carolina during the summer of 1972. This fall caused his near-death experience. During the NDE, which he recalled years later in hypnotherapy, he left his body and viewed his brother and mother from above as they rushed to him. A golden light pulled him upward at an angle. A man with dark hair and complexion took his left hand and guided him into a vast empty space. He met dark-colored souls that brightened after passing them. A group in white robes formed a V and then a circle around him in a treelined grassy area. A man with a medallion gave him a tingling energy jolt through his body. The guide said, 'You're not done,' 'I chose you,' and 'You were there in the beginning.' He felt calm in his heart despite his mind's questions. The guide sent him back. He returned to his body in the car and was examined by a doctor who said he was okay. He slept a lot for two or three days but had no serious injuries. The NDE validated his later work helping people release emotional burdens and follow their heart over their mind through energy work.

This NDE includes out-of-body perceptions from impossible vantage points (e.g., upright view of family despite lying unconscious) during deep unconsciousness from a head-first fall onto concrete, with specific details like mother's shout and brother's pitchfork use. Evidential strength is limited by highly predictable events (family rushing to aid), absence of any verification attempts or confirmations, and late recognition of anomalous perspectives via adult hypnotherapy.
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.
