Hi, Jkmac. Susan is all over the internet gleefully recounting how initially impressed she was with her OBE and how real it seemed at the time and she "really believed" that she'd been out of her body and this was going to upturn science etc etc, before informing us that when she actually checked it out (the cast iron gutters she saw were in fact plastic) she realised that it was all a fantasy !
If you just follow this through with simple logic, it's glaringly obvious it's just complete bullsh@t unfortunately (sorry Susan)
When did she change her mind about the authenticity of her experience ? Clearly when she went outside to check if what she'd "seen" matched up with what was actually there. So when would that be ? Six years later ? Six months, six weeks ? Six hours later ? Probably the latter, six hours.
So how could she possibly believe for quite a long time, (she means a substantial period of time ) that she'd had a genuine OBE when she obviously (as the good scientist she purports to be) would have checked it out straight away and seen that what she saw was wrong !
Seventeen years ago, she said this :
"Come to think of it, I feel slightly sad. It was just over thirty years ago that I had the dramatic out-of-body experience that convinced me of the reality of psychic phenomena and launched me on a crusade to show those closed-minded scientists that consciousness could reach beyond the body and that death was not the end. Just a few years of careful experiments changed all that"
Sorry but it's just not a believable story.

Either way: whether it's her incompetence or something else, I think she is on the wrong track.
