ATHEIST goes to HELL & HEAVEN. HIS AMAZING CHANGE OF HEART (nde) HOWARD STORM
What Researchers Found
The Story
Howard Storm was a 38-year-old atheist college professor. In 1985, while in Paris, he collapsed from a perforated duodenum that caused severe pain and internal digestion. Hospital delays left him without treatment, and he stopped breathing to end the agony. He left his body and felt great. Shadowy figures urged him into darkness. They led him on a long journey, then turned hostile and attacked him violently. Exhausted, he reviewed his selfish life and prayed to Jesus for help. A bright light appeared with Jesus, who healed and embraced him with overwhelming love. They ascended to a realm of light where he met angels. He had a life review that showed his emotional distance and hurt to others, causing Jesus sorrow. He asked many questions and toured heaven but was told to return to change his life. After surgery, Howard became a Christian. He dedicated his life to following Jesus, becoming kind and caring, and living to please God.

No veridical perception claims of real-world events are described during unconsciousness; the experience consists entirely of subjective spiritual encounters (hellish beings, Jesus, life review) with no corroborated physical details from the hospital. Despite a severe medical crisis qualifying for maximum score on Criterion 1, all other criteria score minimally due to absence of testable perceptions.
Score reflects verifiable perceptions reported. A low score indicates the experience was primarily spiritual or subjective, not that it didn't occur.
