Tessa's 9 Minute NDE After 1200 Pound Horse Falls On Her (Near Death Experience)
What Researchers Found
The Story
Tessa Kid, a 25-year-old horse trainer, had her NDE when a 1,200-pound horse reared and fell on her during a cooling-down session in a riding ring 25 years ago. She left her body before the impact and felt a pleasant vibration of pure love. She floated 15 feet above, watching the horse rise, her upset dog approach her body, and people run to help. Colors appeared vivid with auras around living things. She observed paramedics perform CPR and rode above her body in the ambulance. Pulled backward into a dark tube, she sped toward an old woman in a purple cloak, her great aunt Gladys, who told her to return. A ball of white light, Jesus, appeared and said she had not learned to forgive, then slammed her back into her body. Tessa broke her nose, jaw, teeth, ribs, and bruised organs, with a punctured lung. She spent three weeks in the hospital and eight weeks with her jaw wired shut. She stopped riding and training horses, shifting to a career as a contract manager and leather hobbyist. She now views love as energy, meditates, works daily on forgiveness, believes in reincarnation and soul separation, and fears death no more. She shares her story to ease others' fears.

Strong medical severity from clinical death and OBE from impossible vantage point provide a solid foundation, but evidential strength is limited by lack of specific, unpredictable details in perceptions, absence of explicit verification attempts for the accident scene, and no corroborated veridical elements beyond self-report.
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.
