Tossed in Dumpster as Baby. NDE after Leaping from Car, Chris Batts
What Researchers Found
The Story
Chris Bats had a near-death experience in his mid-20s after a traumatic life. Abandoned by his mother as a baby and raised in an abusive home, he struggled with self-esteem issues, ADHD, and suicidal thoughts since age eight. The trigger came when he argued with a friend, received a rejecting call from his mother, and jumped out of a moving car, hitting his head on concrete. During the NDE, Chris left his body and saw it on the ground. He entered pitch black with swirling colors, then felt God's supreme presence—both feminine love and masculine strength—telepathically. God reintroduced himself as real, confirmed angels exist, and showed words like 'loving,' 'caring,' and 'longsuffering.' Chris saw a chained snake-like devil figure. God hugged him and said, 'I will go to the end of the world so that everyone is with me,' then instructed him to tell everyone God loves them. He viewed a projector screen of diverse people, with God affirming love for all equally. Surrounded by clouds and angels, he met two: a beetle-faced one with wide wings and a muscular man in flannel, jeans, and sandals. They showed his body amid emergency lights and asked if he wanted to stay or return, saying he had much to do for others. Chris chose to go back. After waking from a coma, Chris gained a new appreciation for life, people, animals, and plants. He works with special education children, wrote a book about his experience, plans a suicide prevention book, and shares God's message of love to help others avoid suicide and find hope.
“okay." Two of them I felt like I knew like all my life. It just felt so”
The account features a brief OBE observation of the accident scene during a multi-day coma, providing some elevated medical severity and impossible vantage point. However, the details are moderately specific at best (e.g., friend texting far away, emergency vehicles), with no reported verification attempts, no confirmed perceptions, and no timing information on reporting, severely limiting evidential strength.
Score reflects verifiable perceptions reported. A low score indicates the experience was primarily spiritual or subjective, not that it didn't occur.

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.
