The Story
P.M.H. Atwater, a bank analyst in her late 30s, suffered three NDEs in 1977 due to complications from a miscarriage after a rape. The first occurred on January 2 when she miscarried; she floated out of her body, bumped into a light bulb, and snapped back. The second on January 4 involved floating out, checking her lifeless body, twirling happily, seeing thought-blobs, entering a void where she created a house, tree, and city, meeting deceased loved ones and Jesus, undergoing a painful past life review of her thoughts' impacts, forgiving herself, and returning. The third on March 29 followed another assault; she rose into a light-filled world with whirling vortices, felt pulled to God, heard her son's loving voice, and received a directive from a powerful voice to research NDEs and write books. After these, Atwater quit banking, moved across the U.S., collected over 1,000 NDE stories, authored 19 books, and dedicated her life to studying transformative experiences, gaining psychic abilities and a sense of purpose.
“book number one I I never I never knew what book number one is I suspect it was”
The account describes deep unconsciousness during multiple self-reported deaths from a miscarriage and blood clot, with one corroborated detail of the experiencer's son sensing trouble and visiting to talk to her, confirmed a year later. However, veridical claims are limited to a standard OBE view of her own body and the son's visit, lacking highly specific, unpredictable physical details from medical settings or remote access. No evidence of prompt pre-verification reporting or multiple verifications weakens evidential strength.
Score reflects verifiable perceptions reported. A low score indicates the experience was primarily spiritual or subjective, not that it didn't occur.
Was this Evidence Strength score useful?
Was this Experience Depth score useful?
Score reflects transformation as described. Domains scored 0 indicate the topic was not discussed, not that no change occurred.
Was this Life Impact score useful?
