 With thanks to Thanatos.

In 1968, Magdalen Bless was sitting in the passenger seat of her father's car in a petrol station, when they were rammed/impacted at high speed by another out of control car, driven (naturally) by three young male members of a racing club. The young men's car was catapulted into a nearby field and Magdalen's father's was shunted through/over an iron fence into someone's (garden) strawberry patch.

She sustained severe injuries and during this time had a very deep near death experience which included amongst many things, instantaneous visits to Australia (she'd always wanted to go there) and The Andromeda Nebula, which she briefly mentions, as well as going back to "Roman times" but not forward, she said. 

Her description of the process of leaving her body was strangely consistent with what Moody described in his pioneering book (Life after life) in 1975, some seven years later. She describes going through a tunnel before arriving outside her body (looking down). You rarely hear this reported now, but Greyson initially had it as one of his elements/stages in his now recognised NDE scale.

The second video is from 1995 and although you won't be able to follow the dialogue, you can at least see the wrecked car 
(Chevrolet?) and the place where the accident occurred. That being 25 years ago and the NDE itself occurring over fifty years previously, it seems unlikely that this would be so well remembered and meaningful to her, if it was just a hallucination or a confabulation, I would have thought.

Jeffrey Long is starring in an upcoming documentary called 'Beyond the Veil' set to release sometime in 2021 (no exact date has been set) about NDEs (and possibly other subjects):

More clips can be found on the NDERF website too.

Here is a link to the German interviewers channel that I mentioned on another thread. There are usually English subtitles.

I think Tim has posted this chap before.

A recent interview with Bruce Greyson on his work and his book After. It's just under an hour long:

I've posted this German woman's NDE previously but here is a much more lengthy interview by Thanatos, to which he's very kindly provided English dubbing. It's a remarkable story but possibly one that many will find too good to be true and difficult to accept. Also for someone who describes having an NDE by almost being burnt to death, she looks rather too good to be telling the truth, one might think (suspiciously)  

However, she made a very graphic photograph of herself (severely burnt) in the intensive care unit available on her website (which I've seen) and also the medical documentation of her extensive plastic surgery. 

It doesn't seem to me very likely that she's making all this up. If she isn't then it's potentially another remarkable insight into the mystery of existence which makes a lot of sense to me but of course others will think differently and may quite understandably discount it.

Another recent presentation (from December 2020) from Dr Greyson for IANDs:

Apologies for these rather meagre pickings (short summary) but I was waiting for the whole interview to be translated and it doesn't look like it's going to happen. Maybe it will.

The Bavarian doctor, neurologist and psychiatrist, Dr. Erwin Brucker talks about the the experiences of some of his patients. 

Despite being comatose, a patient could listen carefully to the conversation between two physicians. When the senior one asked the other if he (the patient) could be an organ donor, the patient quickly returned to his body.

At the first meeting, the doctor (Dr Brucker) routinely asks former coma patients (patients who had been in a coma under his care) whether they had experienced anything unusual . On one such occasion, a patient told him almost solemnly, "We do not need to be afraid of death."

In a confidential interview (which was conducted away from the medical facility) the patient then described his near-death experience. Brucker reports: "During a preventive colonoscopy, the intestine was punctured several times and he fell into a coma.

He then suddenly experienced himself outside of his body. For him, it was always important to stay in the vicinity of his body," said Bruckner. The patient experienced how carelessly a nurse treated him while washing (and told Bruckner). (Another example) One day, a student nurse was by a nurse's side when she entered the room. The nurse that was learning asked if the patient would notice anything of the above. The senior nurse replied that one should behave as if the patient was aware of something.

(returning to  the case above)  One weekend,  an emergency operation was performed on the patient to remove a piece of his intestine. The patient, who was having an out of the body experience in the operating room, saw everything very clearly: He saw that the chief physician had not completely changed (out of his ordinary clothes) because of the rush. The doctor merely pulled his operation cover/scrubs over his everyday clothing.

The patient saw a piece of his intestine being placed in a kidney dish. He could even hear the chief physician asking the senior physician if the patient had signed up for the organ donation--that is if he was a suitable organ donor. The senior physician answered the chief physician: No, he has not been signed up yet. Brucker points out: " I do not want to argue against organ donation, but this patient had not actually been classified as clinically dead. " This conversation prompted the patient to return from the coma. He was determined, "I'll show you." And he came back into his body. Of course, such a thing only occurs, according to Brucker, if the physical condition allows it.

Auto translate will give a partial idea of what he's recounting but it's less than satisfactory, unfortunately.  

I enjoyed this interview. 

In the video above, the lady says, as is often the case with NDErs, that she has totally lost all fear of death.
It surely must be hard having a total lack of fear of death, I ask myself about accommodating this into our daily life. If people started believing in the afterlife in large numbers, how many would give up living a full life here and so commit suicide? 

I seems to me, to have this information requires a more complex all round picture. If people simply took on board this one idea, I think it might cause more problems than it would solve. Having an NDE is often a very complex emotional experience, I can maybe see the reason that certain things are withheld or given to individuals before they come back.

It's a difficult balance, isn't it Stan. I did actually start watching it but there was something about the dubbing that caused me to lose interest, even though that is ridiculous of course. Do you not think that she means...she's lost her fear of when the actual time of her death is evidently coming for her ? If one can know that, of course.

A relatively young woman who used to live around the corner from me survived a very close brush with death some years ago. I think it was a brain haemorrhage. I knew her quite well but not well enough to ever ask her if anything unusual had occurred (She was at deaths door, there was no doubt about that). Sadly she committed suicide just a year or so after recovering. I do wonder if she'd glimpsed something and decided to give up on this world. It was very sad, anyway.

(Just to add, suicide is not the answer according to 'returnees')
