The Story
David Oakford was 19 years old when he had a near-death experience after using crack cocaine at a party. During the experience, he left his body and saw himself in a chair. He prayed for help and met a being named Bob, who had colorful energy and communicated with him telepathically. Bob showed David various places, including the pyramids and the energy of different countries. David learned about the nature of God and the importance of love. After the experience, he chose to return to his body. The NDE transformed his life, leading him to make positive changes, move to Montana, and share his story to encourage others to treat each other with love.

The experiencer's ability to recall and share these experiences adds to the evidential strength.
