Woman Dies; Saw Higher Beings and is Shown the Other Side (Near-Death Experience)
What Researchers Found
The Story
Beverly Ketchum, a doula and mother, experienced a near-death event in 2020 from a car accident. She was hit multiple times by vehicles while turning into her daughter's driveway, causing severe injuries including head contusion, fractured ribs, and heart contusion. During the NDE, Beverly left her body and floated above the car. She looked down at herself in confusion. She veered left into a peaceful realm of love, joy, and comfort. A being communicated telepathically, answering her questions before she asked. She saw five to six regal entities in light robes with vibrant colors who acknowledged her. Feeling at home, she wanted to stay, but the being said it was not her time and urged her to return for her family. She re-entered her body through a tunnel like a water slide and saw the being again near her daughter. After the NDE, Beverly became more intuitive and fearless about death. She pursued her passion as a full-time doula, training others to support mothers and families in her community. She now lives gratefully, serving others with purpose and emphasizing kindness and presence.
“ever feel in your life and comfort love and while I was there there was a person”
The NDE features a self-reported out-of-body experience during a car accident with observation of personal clothing (magenta shirt), but lacks verifiable details, medical documentation of unconsciousness, or confirmed perceptions; a claimed supernatural being was disconfirmed by the daughter's witness account.
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.
