I died & wasnt let into heaven - NDE / Near death experience
What Researchers Found
The Story
A 23-year-old nurse in 1989 contracted Klebsiella pneumonia from a patient while working in a hospital. The illness led to high fevers, sepsis, and two months in the ICU, where doctors pronounced her dead. She closed her eyes and entered another realm on a path with vivid green hills, a brook, animals, and flowers that smelled like lemonade. She heard soft music. A golden coach took her to a mansion and a round room filled with diverse people. She saw her youthful great-grandmother and grandmother, who said she was not ready to stay. Tall angels in white led groups through huge doors toward a bright light she knew was God. She understood oneness with everything through telepathic communication. Sent back, she opened her eyes in the ICU after being dead for 20 minutes and recovered fully. It took over 30 years to share her experience, which she describes as very real. She now tells others and still smells lemonade from irises.
This NDE features a severe medical crisis but lacks any veridical perceptions of physical-world events during unconsciousness, consisting entirely of an unverifiable heavenly vision with familiar deceased relatives and spiritual elements. No specific, corroborated details of resuscitation or hidden information are reported, and the account was shared decades later without prior documentation.
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?
