The Story

nde surgery very_positive Major Transformation 8/10 Intensity

Mercia was a pregnant woman who experienced a near-death experience (NDE) during a surgical procedure after a miscarriage in 2003. She felt herself floating and saw her body on the stretcher from above. She then traveled through the hospital, saw a bright tunnel, and entered a vast white space. There, she encountered a group of people and a man who told her it was not her time and that she had to return. After the experience, Mercia felt a heightened sense of hearing and began to perceive spiritual aspects of life. She now believes her mission is to help others and share her experience, emphasizing that death is not the end.

I never felt this smell ... I just felt it there ... in this place. Then I ... I ... I think the smell came from this tree.

Mercia's account includes several veridical perception claims, particularly her ability to recognize the hospital environment and her own body while in a state of altered consciousness. However, the details are somewhat vague and lack strong verification, resulting in a moderate score.
