Child DIES, Mother's PRAYER Brings Him Back (NDE) #nde
What Researchers Found
The Story
Franco Romero had a near-death experience at 6 months old. A severe cough led to pneumonia or bronchitis. His organs shut down quickly in a hospital in Colombia. Doctors told his mother he would die soon. He left his body and watched her from beside her. She went to a church and prayed with gratitude for their time together. She saw visions of his future life and felt joy. He floated to the ceiling, then entered darkness. A bright orb appeared in a desert. People below looked at it through him. He merged with the light, which vibrated his body. Light beings hugged him, and he exploded into oneness, feeling ecstasy like 50 trillion orgasms. He saw a sea of beings and knew their stories. A guide showed him something, then pulled him back through a tunnel into his body. At 15, he recalled it in dreams and confirmed details with his mother. He kept it secret for years to avoid judgment. Later, he wrote a book and teaches that life is a game of consciousness. He shares messages on gratitude, imagination, and ascending to higher awareness without dying.
“what I felt and I felt I felt like every cell in my body and we have like 50”
The account scores high due to the mother's detailed confirmation of specific, unlikely-to-guess details about her actions (crawling to church, gratitude prayer) and emotions during the crisis, perceived via claimed OBE while the infant was in organ failure. However, evidential strength is limited by the very late reporting (dreams at age 15, ~15 years post-event) with no pre-verification documentation or independent corroboration beyond the mother.
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?
