AMONG MOST PHENOMENAL NDES OUT THERE! Ruthellen Davison Carlton part 1
What Researchers Found
The Story
Ruth-Ellen Davidson Carlton was a volunteer on a mission trip in Haiti. She became very ill with a high fever and collapsed while trying to vomit into a bucket. During her near-death experience, she left her body and watched from above as her physical form slumped to the floor. Memories appeared as living three-dimensional Polaroid snapshots along a DNA-like strand, with angels singing as she transitioned. A white light drew her in, surrounded by angels' wings, but a dark shadow circled and fought for her. God's thunderous voice declared, 'This one's mine,' and she entered a realm of profound peace with colorful light. Floating orbs approached; one engulfed her, opening to a joyful field with singing flowers, trees, animals, and golden grass. She saw a human figure, Jesus, leaning on a fence in cowboy attire. He leaped over, sniffed the air intimately, and said, 'I will never leave you,' as everything came alive with light and energy in his presence. After the NDE, she wrote a book detailing her heavenly visions to share the experience.

The NDE features a brief OBE with vague observations of expected emergency responses around the body, but lacks specific, unpredictable details or any verification attempts. Heavenly visions are profound but non-veridical, 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 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?
Are you here because someone you love has died?
These accounts were gathered because death may not be the end. Thousands of people have experienced something beyond — and come back to tell us about it.
