near death experience

He's a transcript of a documentary about people with NDE's. http://spiritlessons.com/Documents/Rawlings/Dr_Rawlings_Near_Death_Experiences.htm TL;DR These atheists didn't believe in, or even know about hell, and then they died, went to hell and came back!

I have been watching videos of Youtube for Near Death Experiences for a few hours now and have been thinking, could they be telling the truth? I mean could do they honestly believe that they died and went to Heaven/Hell? I have also been thinking if they did not see what they explained why would...

Don Piper is a preacher who claims to have been dead for 90 minutes, visited heaven, and then came back. Unsurprisingly, he has written a book about it. YouTube it, I can't post links yet. grrrrr. I found very little online investigating this story, and what I'd like to know is...well...what...

I read about a nurse who is selling a book on near death experience in the UK. She charges £85 - that's a lot of $$$, on the pretence that it is a serious scientific study of the subject. Yet what has she done in 5 years of study? Got 15 people to tell her stories about floating in the air and...

What is your take on the sort of Near Death Experiences where people say they moved out of their bodies and were able to go to other places and what they later declared was then confirmed by other people, such as family? Where people 'come back' and are able to say what the doctors said and...

I am not sure if this is the right place to post, but it seems appropriate. I am a very, very Reform Jew. I don't eat pork or shellfish and attend high holy days. That's the extent of it, really. Well, and until high school, my kids went to a private Jewish school, but that was only because...

Researchers Induce Out-of-Body Experiences There were a couple of other experiments described but this one was the most intriguing. (Have you ever felt that you were this little creature sitting inside your head instead of being your head? You might have to be contemplating the Universe or...

My Sister-in-law owns a Restaurants in Flushing NY (Little Lamb Happy Family Restaurant), she is very allergic to watermelons, and someone brought one in. If that was not bad enough she took a bite. It was enough to put her into the hospital. This has happened before and usually she gets a...

Did anyone see this today on Channel 4? Richard & Judy do promote stuff like this all the time. I'm wondering how serious the research is into this phenomenon? I'm particularly interested in the backgrounds of the doctors involved.

In another thread, Huntster claims that there is evidence of souls and cites (as one part of a long list): ... as evidence of near-death experiences (NDE) and that scientifically-documented NDEs are evidence of a soul. The website making the claim is http://www.near-death.com/evidence.html ...

Another forum member has listed this as some kind of evidence.Thought I'd share. Opinions? http://www.nderf.org/

This study was published today in the journal Neurology and is receiving widespread coverage in the media. The following is the abstract from the original journal article which appears under "Views and Reviews." Intrusion of REM sleep with all the known factors that accompany normal REM sleep...

I was reading through some websites regarding NDE or Near Death Experiences just to see how varied these experiences actually are and I found that the majority of NDEs are experienced by Christians or people with a Christian background. Frankly, I was disappointed as I thought Muslim NDEs...

Ode Magazine's cover story this month is of the man who "proves the existence of a soul". In his paper on near-death experiences... http://odemagazine.com/article.php?aID=4207 ... The nice thing is, there is a place for readers to comment...and past experience suggests that they do not delete...

Why do so many people see apparitions in the days immediately before their own demise ? My aunt and uncle work in a lunatic asylum and they say that a few days before a patient dies they start seeing apparitions of people, even if they did not behave like this before or display these symptoms...

Michael B. Sabom and NDE's Anyone have information about this doctor? My friend claims that Mr. Sabom have directed some kind of exam about NDE's and he's clearly have been point that NDE's are real. He had patients that clearly described what they see and hear in spiritbody when they was...

Thought this article was interesting: http://www.near-death.com/hindu.html Granted it's on a woowoo site, and the studies have small sample sizes, but still interesting nonetheless. That NDEs apparently seem to be dependant on the culture and belief system tells me that the phenonemon...

http://www.nbc10.com/news/3253894/detail.html I'm not quite sure what that means, but somehow, I think of the McMartin preschool abuse case when I read about interviews with children. The investigators asked leading questions, and generally had the children say what the investigators wanted to...

Having covered 11 pages and 400 posts, this was one of the more active discussions in the last few days. We were presented with the following opinion, for our consideration: c0rbin promptly responded: And away we went. Of course there were some tangents, and certainly some lapses into...

As a non-debunker, I'm curious about how skeptics think they can deal with the so called Pam Reynolds Case. This is a relatively recent case of an Near Death Experience during brain surgery (to remove an aneurysm). In this case, the subject would have observed the procedure while her brain...

So there I was innocently reading a thread about the supernatural over at the SDMB when someone mentioned that there's a feature article in the August, 2003 issue of Readers Digest which offers scientific proof that NDEs are not a biological event. I was so busy rolling my eyes at this...

After the great Horizon programme that the BBC2 made and showed about putting homeopathy to Randi's test, I've now just sat through an hour long collection of anecdotes and half-arsed "scientific" explanations all about NDEs. Susan Blackmore was there at least, but only to talk about the...
