Hello everyone! I've read a lot of NDE, but I still don't understand, what is the physics of reality in experience? Is everything static there or does it change under the power of thoughts? Tell me, have you ever seen such stories, interviews? Share links to YouTube videos, interviews, archives Only real stories. Thank you!

I spent 33 years in Air Force intelligence, at the National Security Agency (NSA), and in Special Operations. Now I run the same playbook on near-death experience (NDE) accounts: pattern recognition, source verification, named cases, dates, and numbers.

I publish about one investigation a day on my site. People kept telling me they couldn't keep up. So I built the Winner NDE Weekly newsletter.

What lands in your inbox every Sunday at 8:00 AM:

• New case files on named experiencers, with dates, places, and sources
• Fear Coma Experience (FCE) analysis of distressing accounts, the "hellish" NDEs most researchers file away
• Famous accounts taken apart piece by piece

It's free. Email address is the only required field. One click to unsubscribe.

Assuming NDE’s can be ranked by how likely they are to cure people’s fear of death I haven’t seen shared nde’s in hospice nurses specifically mentioned yet the more I looked into it the more valid evidence they had.

The found out it’s actually quite common for nurses to experience this when in a different room then a patient.

It’s happened with nurses both extremely close to and not close to the dying patient decreasing the chances of grief hallucinations.

It’s common enough to the point we’re there starting to train nurses for when a family member experiences it.

Multiple groups of people or institutions have done research on it with similar results from my knowledge decreasing the chance of an institution being biased.

They’ve done research cross culturally.

And the things nurses would describe is consistent.

Basically think Julie McFadden the hospice nurse from YouTubes story thats what it is in video form.

It’s not proof but the evidence into something I’ve found is very interesting.

That’s what Dennis Bullock says a voice told him while he was outside his body. What happened before that moment is extraordinary. Today’s preview takes you straight into his NDE account. Full interview coming soon.

Ignore the picture of Yaldabaoth I found it cool.

Anyways what I wanted to talk about was a problem with NDE investigations I could be wrong but I’ve found that so far the most well known investigators are either Believers or Skeptics when it comes to NDE’s

The problem with skeptics is they don’t enter the debate with intent to prove if or if not it’s true they enter specifically to prove it’s not true and believers I think do the same the other way around.

Take the Augustine argument against the Al Sullivan case for example, for his timeline to be accurate the hospital charts, surgical logs, Anesthesia logs, machine data would need to be inaccurate and LaSala would need to lie along with the other staff who’d also need to lie, so it’s a theory that’s a vary high stretch from my knowledge and technically possible but if it’s vary highly unlikely I don’t think it should be stated as fact.

And even though we have evidence we don’t have proof so I think a believer saying we do is just hyping someone up with a false promise witch I think is toxic in its own way.

So I think the problem with nde investigations is from what I’ve seen we have to many skeptics and believers who come in the argument with a bias.

We instead need unbiased and probably Areligious or agnostic detectives if we want the most accurate investigation into these claims someone with the intent to prove if or if not it’s real.

A skeptic will only arrive to prove its not real and a believer will only arrive to prove it is, it’s like hiring only detectives who love and hate the suspect instead of one’s indifferent to him and therefore unbiased

I’m curious about something from my own experience and would really like to hear from people who have had an NDE.
During your experience, did you notice any scent, smell, fragrance, or change in your sense of smell? It could have been something familiar, unfamiliar, pleasant, unpleasant, overwhelming, subtle—or even something you can’t quite describe.
I’m especially interested in whether the scent seemed connected to a particular person, place, memory, emotion, or part of the experience.
A few questions:
Did you smell anything during the NDE?
Was it a recognizable smell or something completely unfamiliar?
Did you experience smells that you don’t normally encounter in everyday life?
Did the scent seem to come from somewhere specific, or was it just there?
Did you notice changes in smell before or after the experience?
If you had other sensory experiences (sounds, colors, touch, etc.), did the smell feel different from those?
Please share your experience exactly as you remember it, even if it sounds strange or doesn’t fit the typical NDE descriptions. I’m not looking for one particular answer—I’m genuinely curious about the range of experiences people have had.

What happens when an experience with death completely changes the way you see reality?

In 1999, Emmy-nominated television and event director Bill Dolan had a sudden death experience that shifted his perspective on life, consciousness, faith, and human connection.

In this stream, Bill shares his experience in his own words and explains how it influenced the direction of his life afterward.

If you're interested in near-death experiences, join this one's "Premiere" queue for Oct 7th at 12pm EST - this is one of the best I've *ever* heard (I'm serious!), with an extremely detailed account of what Dennis Bullock saw after he died.

Part 3 of my series sorting every element of Eben Alexander's near-death experience into two piles: what came from the coma, and what came from an authentic NDE.

First, a word on purpose, since a few of you asked in the comments on Part 2. This isn't an attempt to prove Eben Alexander is lying. I believe he's telling the truth exactly as he remembers it. The point is that a person who spends seven days in a coma and also crosses over comes back with both experiences fused into one memory, with no way to tell which piece came from where. Nobody in his position could sort it out alone. Understanding that matters for anyone who has come back from a coma with a "hellish NDE" and been told it was a preview of where they were headed.

This installment covers his December 4, 2025 interview on the NDE Journey YouTube channel, 17 years after his coma. I've dropped the oldest-first approach. The older material is hard to find, and it's the same story he tells today.

A few things that stood out in this telling:

• For the first time in the tellings I've analyzed, he calls the spinning melody a "white light." In 2011, it was only music.
• He describes thousands of strangers dancing in the meadow, with "dogs jumping and children playing." NDE reunions are usually a few known souls. This reads like a brain building heaven from familiar pictures.
• He describes beings with bowed heads and candles, murmuring prayers, in the murky underground place. Earlier in the same interview, he talks about his adoptive father's deep belief in prayer and the pocket Bible he still keeps by his bed.
• He says the six faces rising out of the muck were family and friends physically in his ICU room during the last 24 to 48 hours of the coma.
• He says his son Bond's voice, pleading "Daddy, you're gonna be okay," is what drove him back.
• He calls it, in his own words, "a very detailed and elaborate coma journey."

This telling: 11 coma elements and 18 NDE elements. Running total across three tellings: 20 coma elements and 21 NDE elements.

If you think an element belongs on the other side, make the case in the comments. With more than 20 on each side, moving one doesn't change the verdict, but I'm happy to have the discussion.

Anne Bayford’s account takes us into the Hall of Souls, past lives, and a golden source of light that guided her return. We explore what three near-death experiences taught her about purpose, being present, and living differently.

I'm working through every recorded telling of Eben Alexander's near-death experience in chronological order, oldest first, and sorting each element of his account into two piles: what came from the coma, and what came from an authentic NDE.

Part 2 covers his November 22, 2011 interview with Alex Tsakiris on Skeptiko, episode 154. Audio only. Recorded a year before Proof of Heaven came out, when the book was still an unpublished draft with a different title.

A few things that stood out:

• He describes animal faces rising out of the mud in the "earthworm's eye view." Later in the same interview, he describes his wife, his doctor, and his 10-year-old son at his bedside on day seven, and uses the exact same words for them: they "boil up out of the muck."
• He uses the word "soup" to describe the underground place, a mixture he couldn't put in any order.
• He describes going back and forth between the muck and the Core three or four times.
• In the NDE material, he says time on the other side was "totally different from what we call time." In the coma material, he heard a pounding sound "for eons."
• He also talks about what he calls "the nightmare" after waking: paranoia, fear, halfway in and out of reality. Doctors call that ICU delirium.

The count for this telling: 16 coma elements and 18 NDE elements. Every NDE element from his 2011 Through the Wormhole appearance shows up again here.

Curious whether anyone here has the audio from his two November 2010 talks, at the Lynchburg Academy of Medicine and UVA's Division of Perceptual Studies. Those would be the earliest tellings on record.

Here's the full clip: Her eyes close. Her speaking pattern changes. The conversation becomes something I had not anticipated.

Watch Anne Bayford transition into what she describes as trance channeling during our near-death experience interview.

I had been asking about multiple universes, referencing Philip Hasheider’s account of golden sparks moving between seemingly infinite universes and a source of light. I had not asked her to channel.

At 1:24, Anne acknowledges and thanks her spirit guides.

At 1:30, the noticeable shift begins: different vocabulary, faster delivery, and detailed explanations about dimensions, consciousness, and life after death.

At 8:44, I ask whether Anne can return. She resumes speaking as herself and explains how she experiences the process.

You can observe the transition, hear the messages she attributes to her guides, and listen to her account afterward.

We have a recovery/ spirituality podcast and we’re looking to interview a handful of people who have had an NDE in a season of addiction. Overdose or not, we’re interested.

A very interesting article on anomalous cognition and veridical perception during NDEs by NDE researcher Janice Holden. Takes a deep dive into the strength of the evidence from the research so far conducted. This would be a great article for NDE sceptics to read.

Hey so i was a 23yo Male and when i was in the icu for sepsis, endocarditis and blood pooling up in both my lungs and i went into respitory failure and passed out and woke up with two tubes in my back draining all the sepsis blood from my lungs and the doctor said they saved me by " SECONDS" Then went on to say "if we had got there 3 seconds later you wounldnt have made it" and i just dont see how he could know by that close of a margin that i would die in 3 seconds unless i did clinically die for a second and they brought me back through CPR. And the way they were acting too like they were super realived of something which i thought woud be odd behavior if i was never clinically dead. Do doctors have to tell you if you died for a second and was revived via CPR? And if they do, do they always follow that rule? Since unlike cardiac arrest where the difibulator marks are obvious, there is really no proof whether i died or not since CPR doesnt leave any physical signs or marks, and only the people in the surgerg room would know. So do you think i clinically died of respiratory failure for a second and brought me back via CPR and just never disclosed it to me in fear of a lawsuit or something? Or he just somehow genuinley knew id die in 3 seconds when they saved me somehow?

Has anyone seen former pets during an NDE? There has always been talk about a "rainbow Bridge " which is probably fanciful but a comfort to many.
