Spontaneous Mediumship of Two Near-Death Experiencers
What Researchers Found
The Story
Jamie Thompson was a 34-year-old career-driven real estate agent when she had a near-death experience in 2008 due to septic shock from a lodged kidney stone while in the hospital. During the NDE, intense pain led her to leave her body and float to the ceiling, where she observed her convulsing self, boyfriend, mother, doctors, and nurses. Peace enveloped her as she floated backwards into space, seeing busy souls connected by iridescent lines like a spiderweb. She entered an exhilarating dark tunnel and emerged into a bright white light filled with unconditional love that healed her emotional wounds. A male voice instructed her to return; she protested but was pushed back through the tunnel into her body. After the NDE, spontaneous mediumship began, with deceased people appearing to relay messages, causing distress and fear. Overwhelmed by empathic sensitivities, she became a hermit for two years, avoiding public places and losing relationships. Through research and mentorship, she learned to set boundaries with spirits, grounded herself, and integrated her abilities. She now works as a professional medium and energy healer, using her gifts to bring healing and light to others.

The accounts include severe medical crises (cardiac arrest, septic shock) and a claimed OBE from an impossible ceiling vantage point, providing some baseline strength. However, perceptions are vague (generic observations of family and staff, no unique details), entirely unverified, predictable, and lack timely reporting or multiple confirmations, severely limiting evidential value.
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.
Are you here because someone you love has died?
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.
